Rebecca, I forgot that you lived in Oregon. I hear that area has much nicer summers than here. We are much like the south in the summer time. Upper 90s and triple digits now and then with very high humidity. We also get freezing temps below zero... sometimes I wonder why we live here

Ugh! Don't we all, especially days like today!? It's been almost 100 here for the last few days, and a heat index of well above that. For that heat, i should at least be in Disney World!

Oh no! I was flying through the rest of the posts waiting anxiously for your results.... I'm so sorry.

Kristy,

I sent you a PM...I am truly sorry . As we talked about yesterday...don't give up...stay in the game.

Keeping you in my thoughts...

sorry I disappeared for a bit. My boss spotted me crying and gave me permission to leave for the day.

Right now I'm lounging in my recliner, still shedding a tear here and there and drinking a glass of Mountain Dew with a shot of Crown Royal. Hoping it will take the edge off.

Oh yah...I'm going to see Kenny Chesney tonight so I'm hoping he'll take my mind off of everything else for a couple of hours.

Thank you all for your support. I really don't know what I would do without friends who are also ttc and understand the heartache of not being able to get pregnant.

Kristy, I am glad you were able to go home and actually that you are having yourself a drink. I was seriously going to suggest that to you. Do have fun at the concert to night though... let your mind get lost in the music and the performance. You know I'll keep you in my prayers as for what the next step may be

Jennifer, I am totally with you on the temps... it is as miserable as it is at WDW. At least they get blue skies and wind Ah well, I've lived in Ohio all my life, so I should be used to it by now.

I am so, so sorry Kristy! I wish there was more I could say to comfort you.

Rebecca, I can't believe you guys still get temps in the 40s at night sometimes. It doesn't get very cold here and 40s just sounds so cold to me. We live in Mississippi and I think the humidity here is worse than Florida (I used to live there too). I'd love to have a day where the temp was only 85! I say count your blessings! I love warm weather but I could definitely do without the humidity! I actually think this year has been cooler than the past 2 years were here but we're still close to 100, not counting the humidity, today.

My dd is at daycare and I need to go pick her up. They were planning to swim and eat popsicles outside today and she thought that was so exciting so I took her and had a free day to myself. I did a lot of sleeping truthfully!

Kristy I'm so sorry! I know I just jumped on but I was reading through some of the posts and crossing my fingers for you. So go kick back and relaxe and let Kenny Chesney take you far far away from here-You definintely deserve it.

 

[DMickey28]

Kristy - I am so sorry. You know you have a great group of girls here to lean on with your next steps.

I am so sorry. Just have your drink, and cry as long as you want. Let us know if you ever need to "talk".

 

[stitchntiggertoo]

Thanks ladies for your advice. I have been bouncing back and forth between I will never want kids to hmmmm......and I think alot of never wanting kids is the fear. I am the type of person that over analyizes everything to death trying to think of every possible problem and possible solutions to everything. I over think things. way way over think things.

But I also guess the polite thing to do is also introduce myself. I'm Elizabeth or Liz is fine too. I will be 27 in October and my DH just turned 27. In November it will be 3 1/2 years for us, but we have known each other for almost 7 years. Wow! We just bought a house New Years weekend so we have only been in it for 8 mos and it's only 3 bedrooms our, a guest room and my crafts room. We have discussed having a baby some and I haven't said anything to my dh yet about whether we are willing to consider it yet. When we moved into the house we both said that we wanted time together that it was still just "us" and no kids. Now I am going what?! Will there really be that much of a difference? (You know how when you first get married and you say no children for awhile because you want it to be just us-that's what I am talking about) but I was on some crazy BC earlier this year and I was skipping periods all the time and between one of us we would always be a little bummed when we realized that nope it was just the crazy pills again. So then all the little what ifs are starting to creep in-are we going to have enough money? This is the big one!!!! We don't have alot extra but we are doing very well for our age. We would also have to seriously consider getting a different (bigger) car we already have 2 car payments and several more years to pay on both. But there is no way to LARGE dogs and a baby will fit into a G6. Plus right now my vacation time at work is terrible-after next October (2008) I will start getting more time. So I was thinking, that If my hubby agrees I have an obgyn appoint at the end of the year getting they ok from her (everyone here said that they did before they began ttc I would have never even considered it) get a script just in case, and start trying next year and see what happens.

Oh wow, I didn't mean to go off on a diatribe, my bad! I just am contemplating and wow it's tough and REALLY REALLY SCARY and there are so many decisions and I am just stuck and maybe that is a sign that now isn't the time? Or am I just way way WAY over thinking it at this point?

Kristy - I am so sorry. We are here if you ever need to vent. Try to have fun at the concert tonight.

Hi again! I am hoping for af soon, so I can get back to ovulating and bd once again after this terrible loss.

Have any of you bought ovulation/hpt in bulk? I checked at Sam's and they didn't have them. Maybe online somewhere? I prefer the "pee sticks" over the ones you go in a cup then dip. I also don't like the digitals that come with one test and have refill sticks, I always manage to break them.

Yes, I'm a pro at testing unfortunately. Just need to find a good deal now.

THANKS

 

[helenabear]

Kelly, I had some links, but I'll have to look again. Have you looked into saliva testing for fertility? I had a link not too far back about it. My friend's doc recommended it as a cheap and very accurate way of testing for fertility. She is using it in conjunction with the OPK and blood test from docs and so far she is finding the saliva to be more on the mark.

Liz, welcome again Good to get to know you. I'll give you a little of my story. My DH and I will be married for 7 years this Oct (known each other over 11 years now). We've been in this house since 2001. We always thought we'd wait a couple years after marriage to have kids... well that was stretched out to about 5 before we both felt ready. I had a miserable job so I flat out quit it... decided I was not going to work again. That was 2 years ago. We wanted a few months of adjustment before TTC and make sure we coudl afford me not to work. We got it all figured out fortunately, and the crappy thing is, it took us almost a year to get pregnant. The really bad part was that one ended in a miscarriage when I was about 11-12 weeks along The interesting part of all this is while that was going on I was still scared to death about being a mother. The 2nd time I got pregnant, I actaully had given it a lot of thought and knew what my purpose was. So nearly a year and a half after TTC, I finally knew I wanted children! I am now just shy of 22 weeks pregnant and doing okay so far. It's never a perfect time for anything and I wish we hadn't waited so long, but at least now I feel ready. So good luck to you!

I have 30 OPKs in my bathroom caninet . I think the name of the website was saveontests.com. IIRC the stick ones were $1 each. They were cheap and the shipping was fast but I have no idea if they're as reliable as the ones you get at a drug store. They also sell cheapie pregnancy tests.

 

[skuttle]

Kristy, I'm SO sorry. I hope you enjoy yourself at the concert. We are here for you. You take as many drinks as you need!

Liz...I honestly think you just have to take the plunge when it comes to having a baby! There will always be some reason NOT to do it! It is scarey!

I'll introduce myself again since Elaine did. I'm allison. I'll be 29 in October and DH is 31. We met in high school and have been together ever since...married for 7 years. We have a 4 year old DS. He was the best surprise ever! LOL! We bought our first house a year ago, May 06. We started TTC right after we moved, with no luck. I had a chemical pregnancy in April, we was really hard to deal with. I FINALLY have an appt with my GYN next Friday! I should find out also some time next week if we had any success this month...we took this month off from TTC because I really hit rock bottom the last few months, so I didn't do any temping or planned BD'ing, so my hopes aren't up for a BFP. But we'll see.

You know, when I got my BFP in April, I thought "OMG, I'm not ready for another baby" LOL! That was after 9 months of TTC! Then, as soon as that BFP went away, I realized how ready I really was.
