Any other DISers trying to concieve? Reread OP for the QOTD!

[skuttle]

Well, AF arrived today. I pretty much figured this month was out anyways. I was sick and so was DH right around O time. *sigh* Not too upset this month. Disappointed, but I figured it wasn't going to be this month.

So this month and last month AF arrived at CD28...just like when I was on the pill. When I went off the pill, it was CD28 for a month or two, then for a while it was CD30-33. Could I have JUSt gotten regular again?? I went off the pill in June 05. Could it have taken that long?

Hopeing this month will be a better month as far as temping and BD'ing!! This is my last month to TTC and have a baby this year. I REALLY want it all to be in one year due to our insurance!

Imarriedgrumpy...sounds promising!! Good luck!

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

So sorry Allison & Mindy

Well yesterday I pulled a bonehead move...I smashed my middle finger in my car door My nail is now the most deep purple I've seen. I just hope I don't loose my nail

Anywho...still no PMS or spotting. I have been feeling twinges but it could be my imagination (more likely wishful thinking). So just taking it one day at a time. I think I'm around 11dpo. If I make it to 14dpo I'll test.

Hope you all are having a fun filled weekend. DH is dying to see the new movie 300 so we are off to see it tonight. Tomorrow is the race in Vegas so we will be on the couch glued to the TV.

Only 51 days till WDW...I better start packing (actually I have the suitcases out already)

Well yesterday I pulled a bonehead move...I smashed my middle finger in my car door My nail is now the most deep purple I've seen. I just hope I don't loose my nail

OWCH! I did that once - slammed my right thumb in the car door just as I was on my way to the camp I worked at each summer. (I used to be the director of Children and Youth Programs at a family camp in the UP of Michigan). It was really painful, and I pretty much kept it wrapped in a bandage all summer. Life without my right thumb was a little tricky... Won't go into details, but my thumb wasn't an attractive sight for about 5 months. Hope yours heals up quickly and you won't loose the nail!

Well, in honor of Steph I'll continue my own Boo-Bay Watch...they're still really sore, and DH swears they are getting even larger. I bought a larger sports bra today and right now that's the only thing I can wear for support. And I NEED support these days!

The family gathering was crazy - we're up to 6 kids ranging from twin 7mo. old babies to an 8 yr. old. I caught DH having some quiet hang out time with one of the twins - he was sitting with her inside while the rest of us were out in the yard and was talking to her and keeping her entertained with a plastic cup. Very cute, but I just wish that was OUR baby he was taking care of. My DSIL (the one who had the twins) is about 6" taller than me, but weighs only 5lbs more than I do, and we wear the same size clothing so she told me she's saved all her maternity clothes for me. She's very stylish, so that's awesome news. Now if I could just tell her that I need them!!

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Hey Girls!!!!

Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend

Well AF is knocking at the door. Looks like Clomid here I come.

Nicole & Michelle-How are you guys feeling???

IMG-Thanks for the sympathy. My finger is doing better now.

Well time to do some then I think I'll go out and enjoy the sun

 

[ImarriedGrumpy]

Darn. My temp dropped today, the Boo-Bays are not so sore and I think they are starting to shrink back to normal, and all signs are pointing to the arrival of AF in the next day or so. Sigh. Well, 20+ days until I O again...time to start the countdown to BD, order more preseed and OPK's, and enjoy a few glasses of wine in the meantime.

I'm so dying for a Disney vacation right now, I can hardly stand it! DH just rolls his eyes (he's not a Disney vacation fan). Oh well. I'm dreaming by pricing various trips and deciding how much more saving I need to do before I can afford another WDW trek.

 

[skuttle]

Bethany and Rebecca..Sorry to hear AF will be visiting y'all too!

Denise...still haven't found out the source of the fertility food/water around here! I'm still searching!

AF should be leaving soon. I'm looking forward to trying again. I actually remembered to take my temp this morning! Hoping this month is IT!

Our poor Milo...He did great all weekend. This morning, I went to take him out of his room so that I could bring him to the vet for his post-op check up and found that he had chewed through his bandage! I was so upset!! Vet says he was getting an infection, so I assume that's what made him chew. So now we have antibiotics, AND he's wearing a cone around his neck to keep him from chewing again!! I can't figure out how he's supposed to eat or drink with that thing on! And I'm scared if we take it off, he won't let us get it back on!!

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Bethany- I'm sorry

Allison-Oh no not the cone!!!! I hope Milo's infection goes away quickly.

 

[pgsahm2]

I'm not ttc but wanted to say congratulations to the new mommies and new moms to be! Pregnancy and motherhood are so special.

I really, really miss being pregnant...... Wish I could do it all over again! But I think 3 boys are plenty for me!

 

[skuttle]

Here's my pitiful Milo:

 

[LisaB]

Day 30 and she hasn't arrived yet

 

[ImarriedGrumpy]

oh, poor Milo! I hope he's feeling better soon and can get his cone off. He looks kind of sheepish in that photo!

LisaB - hope that's good news that you're at day 30...

I had another one of those "if I can handle this, I'm ready for parenthood" days - skip the following if you're eating or prone to gagging....










I got the toddler up from her nap to discover that she had finger-painted with her own poo from her diaper and COVERED her face with it! It looked like she was wearing a brown poo mask. It was in her ears, her nose, on her eyelids, and in her mouth!!! Oh, it was so gross! I was gagging, but I did manage to do a complete clean-up without spreading the mess. Poor baby wasn't too happy for a little while, although she seemed very pleased with her artwork when I discovered her.

DH says I should work out some kind of "hazard pay" with her parents for these situations. This is the second major poo incident in the last month at my house, and she's had two at her house over the weekends. We're starting to contemplate a straight jacket for that child during her naps (JK! ).

Seriously, though, I was in the middle of it and thinking "if I still want a baby of my own after this, I'm either ready to be a mom or else I'm crazy!"

Here's my pitiful Milo:

Poor Milo!!! Those cones are so horrible.

Day 30 and she hasn't arrived yet

Hope that is good news for you Lisa

Seriously, though, I was in the middle of it and thinking "if I still want a baby of my own after this, I'm either ready to be a mom or else I'm crazy!"

OMG...What a story... You will be well trained!!!!

 

[skuttle]

Oh Bethany...I don't know if I could have handled that!! Ick!! I amaze myself often at the things that don't make me sick...but that would have been tough!

Lisa...Sounds promising! Keep us updated!

Hello ladies, Hope everyone is having a great evening. I followed DisneyDreamer8 over here from the "Childfree, not by choice" thread. I'm one of those TTCing and have been for just over 5 years with no success (never been pregnant). My name is Suzanne, I'm 33, DH is 28 and my biggest baby (we have 6 furbabies).

I have gone through alot on this journey and I'm considering giving up by the time I reach 35. I am at my last resort actually (that I can afford, my insurance doesn't pay for anything). We tried on our own for 1 year, then I had 3 unsuccessful IUI's, DH has low sperm count and I have some mild endometriosis on the outside of my cervix and in one tube. We can't afford IVF and now adoption is out of the question. I have a new wonderful GYN that just gave me Metformin because I don't think I ovulate on my own. I have been doing alot of research on Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (I have some of the symptons). I haven't been officially been diagnosed yet, but that is the way she is leaning. I thought it might be my weight, but she doesn't consider it much of a factor at this time. I saw an RE, but he is more interested in money than in helping find out the problem or a solution . I even went so far as to visit the Ripley's Believe It or Not Corporate offices in Orlando to touch the African Fertility Statues. That is how my Disney trips got started.

I have found a great site with alot of great information, mostly about PCOS, but alot also about TTCing. I am currently trying some of the alternative therapies that many of the women are using and have been successful with and many of them aren't very expensive, but supposedly work as well as the expensive fertility meds. The site is www.Soulcysters.net, in case any of you are interested in checking it out. I haven't joined yet, but plan to soon. It has given me some renewed hope.

I wish you all luck and hope that you don't have to wait too long for your dream to come true.

BabyDust to all,

PrincessSuzanne

Bethany that is so funny. I can't handle Diana's vomit or even the dog's poop you will be just fine

I'm glad you posted here!!! I really hope you get some answers soon and your BFP!!!

 

[mickeyboat]

Suzanne - Welcome! I am not TTC but I stalk this thread anyway. My oldest daughter is the result of treatment of PCOS with Metformin. I got PG almost immediately after trying for 2 1/2 years. I wish you lots of luck and hope you stick around this thread. There is a tremendous amount of support here!

Allison - Poor Milo. Dogs look so funny with those cones!

Lisa - Have you tested?

Lots of experience with vomit in our household, not so much with poop. DH is a great help when we have a vomit-fest!

[arizonacolbys]

Hello girls! Not much going on here - had a very busy weekend with one house showing on Friday & another scheduled for Sunday, but then cancelled after I spent the day cleaning again.

I'm now 7DPO & may have had a possible implant dip yesterday. Temp shot back up today to higher than it was day before yesterday. I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic. I just don't want to get my hopes up again to have AF show up instead. Will definitely be testing Saturday, if not before. No major symptoms though - no sore bbs, but haven't slept well in two nights & have had lots of weird dreams. Not sure if I'm still adjusting to the time change, or if something could be going on in there! I've also had some minor, off & on twinges or crampy feelings mostly in the evenings.

Allison- Poor Milo!! I hate those cones - we've had to use one on our chocolate lab 3-4 times now, but he always manages to get out of it, or can still get to his stitches. I hope his paw gets better soon & he can lose the cone!

Lisa - that sounds good - when is AF usually here? Are you testing soon?

Suzanne - welcome!! This is a great & very supportive group!!

Bethany - I hope you're not out yet! I know what you mean about wanting that Disney trip. We're having dinner with my younger sister-in-law tomorrow while she's home on Spring Break & I'll be helping her try to plan a Disney trip this summer. It'll be fun, but I know it'll just make me want to plan another one for us!! LOL

Hope everyone else is doing well - how are the preggo girls holding up?

 

[AllyandJack]

Lisa, when are you going to break down and test?!?!

Allison, poor puppy. When my cat had a cone on her head, she kept trying to back out of it. It was so sad to see her trying to back up and get out of the cone. She was looking at me as if to say, "OK, what's with the freakin' tunnel?!?" She'd walk and it would bop back and forth. She looked like Little Bo Peep. I don't know how they deal with that stuff. I can't imagine what would happen if they tried to use that on humans!

Suzanne, I touched that stupid fertility thing, too! My best friend touched it - got knocked up two months later. I touched it - 2 YEARS later, I finally got a BFP. There should be a money-back guarantee or at least some sort of consolation gift.

I had my 27w appointment today. Stayed the same weight. Measuring on track. At the beginning, I had an insane fear of m/c. Then, it went away. Now, I'm back to the panic. I realize if something goes wrong, I'll be delivering an actual baby, not just having a m/c. That scares the crap out of me. But, everything is good, so I'm trying not to worry over nothing. Right....like THAT is going to happen!

 

[LisaB]

I have no idea when I am going to break down. Maybe on Friday. Carla STOP FREAKING OUT!!!!!!
