Still At It

[kemorr]

Bottleored - I'm very sorry about the falling betas. I know exactly what that feels like, having been through it myself this month. BFNs are a dissapointment but BFPs closely followed by BFNs are terrible for your emotional state. Hugs and I hope you feel better soon!

[marteneym]

MrsSmith I am not looking forward to starting meds either. I don't like to take them and feel much safer with herbs. Although as many others have said, I have come to the realization that it may be what my body needs. Good luck! I hope the meds are just what you need.

Karlatta Good luck with the viagra. That is so interesting! I hope you get quick results.

Scooter That is great news! So glad everything is going well.
Thanks for the encouragement on the O. I am starting to wonder if I did or not. (AGAIN) Maybe the sore bbs is a sign of a coming o. That would be great.

jennylou Thanks for the O encouragement.

Catjennifer Congrats!

Bottleored I am so sorry! {{{HUGS}}}

As for me, my temp dropped a bit making me question even more if I did O. I am holding on to scooter's theory that the sore bbs could mean a coming o. I guess time will tell.

[Baby Lust]

Bottleored, I'm so sorry for you loss. {{{{HUGS}}}}

Marteneyem, Sore bbs could definitely be a sign! Keep BDing just in case O sneaks up on you!!

Scooter, Great news!! :D


As for me, I started 100mg Clomid last night. My first cycle on 100mg gave me an 8 day LP, which I think had a lot to do with my CP the month before. I am hoping this month will be normal and ends in a sticky pregnancy, though I try not to get my hopes too high. :rolleyes: I really don't want to think about the next step, but this is my last refill on 100mg so I suppose I will have to make an appt next month if this cycle is a bust. Hope that doesn't happen!

Have a great week everyone!

Good news: Today I found out that I've booked my first big photography gig!

Bad news: It's a June 2006 wedding.

Please move me to "Taking a Break".

How long do you think we need to TTA? I know there are no guarantees, but do you think it would be a relatively safe bet that I could do the job if we waited 3 months? Or do I need to put it off for even longer?

I don't want to TTA at all, but this is my dream job...

[marteneym]

AF showed up about an hour ago. I was totally shocked. Since DH is in school tonight I am sure I will be spending my night on the couch with a heat pack for the cramps and an ice pack for my headache. I havent fallen apart yet but that is because I am at work. I am so disappointed since it looks like I never O'ed. I have a call into the infert nurse who my appt is with to see if they will start me on chlomid prior to my appt so I don't have to wait another LONG cycle.

Shelby Congrats on your photography job.

[jennylou]

marten - sorry about AF. Hope you can get the clomid RX sooner.

shelby - Honestly, right now you'd have a June EDD if you got pregnant this month. Remember that these are only EDD, you can deliver early or later than your EDD. If you totally want to block out that possibility, and you don't want to be hugely pregnant, you might want to wait three months. Of course, I don't think being hugely pregnant would be an issue, but I wouldn't be the one lugging around photography equipment. Enjoy your break, drink it up, eat some sushi, etc. :)

[Baby Lust]

Shelby, ITA with Jenny. Good luck making your decision! And enjoy the gig!

Being out of town for the weekend and then out of town for work with no Internet access (the horror!) means I'm way behind... but I must say congrats to Jennifer and that I'm very thrilled for Scooter! And Caroline, so sorry to hear your news... that really does just suck (need better words for things like this).

As for me, I'm in the utterly dull part of my cycle, CD7, nothing happening. Have the HSG scheduled for next Wednesday and the evil scheduling person said we have to abstain from sex until then - husband is MOST unhappy. But he's glad we're getting this done so we can get some answers (we hope). Must call my dr and schedule a follow-up with them as it can take a couple of weeks to get an appt and I refuse to wait (I have no patience at all).

[catJennifer]

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes!! Y'all are an amazing group of women.

Scooter, Please update my stats:
BFP: 9/6/05, EDD: 5/16/06
Protocol: Follistim, trigger, progesterone

I will continue to lurk if that's ok.

[knoelani]

I'm on CD2 here, AF showed up in full glory yesterday. We're going ahead with another Clomid / Trigger / IUI cycle this time and then we're going to take a break. This has hit me much harder than I thought it would this time around. I am so full of questions, anger, sadness, guilt and emotions. I just want off this rollercoaster.

[jennylou]

knoelani - sorry about AF. :(

jules - good luck with the HSG. Crazy scheduler telling you not to have sex. You'd think they'd understand that there's no way for you to be pregnant (which is the reason they don't want you to have sex) if you haven't ovulated yet. :rolleyes: I'm in the boring part here as well, hoping to see O sooner than last cycle. Hopefully, O comes that way for you as well!

babylust - GL on your 100 mg this cycle!

CD 11 here, my temps are high (like in post O range last cycle) for me right now. Of course, we aren't running the air anymore since it seems to have cooled off.

[ag05]

bottleored - I am so sorry.

knoelani - Sorry about AF. Hoping this next cycle is the lucky one.

CatJennifer - Congratulations

[marteneym]

Yesterday I got a call for a cancellation with the infertility nurse. I wasn't supposed to have an appt til 9/29. Since I started af I didnt want to have to wait another 2month long cycle to start chlomid. So long story short. we had our first appt and I started Chlomid 50mg this morning. I am very optimistic that this will do that trick. I am taking it cd3-7 and then start Opk's on cd12. I do an Fsh and rubella lab test today and a progestrone test cd22 to see if chlomid worked. I go back for another appt 10/6 to follow up. I should be expecting a positive test or af by that point. Come on Chlmid.

Knoelani- Sorry AF found you! {{{HUGS}}}

Updated to here.

Thread business
So far the only person I saw volunteer for the thread is Jennylou, although since you're already hosting 2 other threads you don't want to be too overloaded. Please let me know if I just skipped anyone who was volunteering! All this scrolling makes me kind of sick, which makes updating harder. ;)

I guess I can just leave the possibility open a couple more days, and if anyone wants to do it or help Jenny, just say the word! I'll pass on the info so you can just start a new thread. It's already time for a new thread anyway, since we do 4 a year, and change at every season.

[karlatta]

Scooter and Jenny - I meant to volunteer to help with a new thread, but I forgot. Jenny, I can help you, or if you've got your hands full with your other threads, I can do this one. Just let me know!

[jennylou]

karla - you can go ahead and take this one. If at any time you are busy and need help, you can always ask me. Since I'm a mod in this forum I can edit any post. :)

[Scooter]

Thanks for replying, Jenny!

Karla, your email option is turned off, so if you send me an email I can just reply to you with all the thread info, ok? Thanks for offering!

[karlatta]

Scooter - You have mail!

[Scooter]

Karla, you've got mail, too! :) When you've got the new Fall thread up & ready to go, just post here with a link to it, and I'll edit the subject of this one to say "closed." Good luck with it, I know you'll be fabulous! And I'm also passing on to you that 'luck of the threadmistress' people always talk about. Took awhile to catch up to me, but maybe it's true after all. ;)

[suzfuzsunflower]

catJennifer - Congratulations on the BFP! :)

Well, CD 71 here, and I don't believe that I've even ovulated yet, or that I will. Kind of frusterating. I'm planning on calling my doctor again this week to see what we can do. I think that DH and I are ready for more testing. Nothing was found during the last testing round. We need to figure something out, b/c if I'm not ovulating then there is no way that we can get pregnant without some help!!

I don't think that I've mentioned this, but I have 5 friends who are pregnant right now!! It's crazy! I am so happy for them, but....I'm sure you all know. I have a baby shower to go to in the morning that I'm not really looking forward to - and I feel bad about that. No one, not even family, knows that we are trying.

Just feeling kind of frusterated. DH and I were talking about this today, and we really don't know what we're going to do. Our health insurance doesn't cover very much.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
