[mommyin10]

:)

[unlaced]

oh, to update, i'm cd2 now.  i just wanted to thank everyone for their support.  i wish i could do it individually, but my MIL is here hogging the comp so i have to be brief.  
THANK YOU!!!
i'm doing fine, just anxious because TS Hanna is making my dh deploy earlier than expected.  but all is well-i truly hope ALL of you get your BFP's soon!!!  best wishes and dropping a supernova atom bomb of baby dust on everyone, lol.

[vortex1]

Good morning. Thanks ladies for all your comments on the pictures. I am still down with the flu, but a little better from the previous days.

Stacey:
All it takes is one and may be it is a good sign that there is only 2 mature follies. This will reduce the risk of cysts as well as reduce the level of estrogen in your body during O and aid conception. All the best.

Candie:
It sure took a while for me also to catch up. We are one busy group. Thanks for your wishes and wish that AF does not show up for you for 9 more months.

Oops, just realized how long my post was.  Sorry about that!  :)

[candie429]

Good morning everyone!  It took me a while to catch up, but here goes nothin!...

mommyin09 - That's so frustrating when you think you know when you O'd and then something changes to make you doubt yourself.  I'm sure you know your body pretty good by now, so it will be just fine.  I feel confident that your relaxing weekend did the trick!

Stacey - How wonderful that Honey is all settled in.  Your follies sound great, hopefully even better on your u/s today.  Good luck!  That's so exciting that you'll be having your IUI soon.  Thanks for asking about Nittany.  I'm afraid to say it, but he has been doing so very good!  He was a little whiney the day we moved in, probably just because of all the boxes and chaos, but since then he has been perfectly content.  Once he saw his (our) bed, the couch, and his food dish, I think he realized it was home! :)

Arlotheslug - Oh dear, I am so sorry that you're feeling down.  Please don't feel like you have to go away!  I know that wasn't the news you were hoping for, but at least they are trying to fix it by upping your dosage.  I'm sure it's a very emotional time. Try to stay positive (I know - easy for me to say!) and at least see what happens tomorrow - you never know!  I'll say an extra prayer for you.  Yes, you are right, we are VERY excited that it's football season.  Penn State's home opener was last weekend, the weather was perfect, and we had a blast.  We actually can't go to this week's game (DH has to work in the morning), so we're just having people over to watch it.  We're definitely not missing any others!

Luvkayln - Holy cow you were busy!  I can't imagine working that many hours in one weekend.  If you love what you do though, that's wonderful.  It sounds like it would be a cool job.  You are very welcome for the message.  I hope you O soon!

Michelle - I can't believe it's time for you to have another IUI already!  Hopefully your 2ww goes just as fast and ends with good news!  That's good that you've been keeping busy.  Hope your open house was successful.

Leighanne - I'm glad to hear you are doing well.  Only 2 more weeks until you get to know your little bean better.  Yay!  How exciting.  Thanks for asking about me.  I'm actually about 9 dpo (or so), so if AF is coming, I should know this weekend.  Hopefully not!  :)

Joyce - Great news that you feel your cycle is getting more regular.  Maybe now that you have your little boy back safe with you, you can relax and your BFP will be right around the corner!  That would be a great b-day present.

Unlaced - I am so so very very sorry for what you have been through.  It's just so heartbreaking to have to go from such a high to such a low.  Not fair!  I hope things are better between you and DH.  I'm sure his comment hurt you, but like you said, it's not him at all.  He's probably so upset about going away (although our tough guys would never admit it!) and hates to see you upset and isn't sure how to handle it all.  Take care.

Vortex - I checked out your u/s pics and they are awesome!  That had to be the greatest sight you've ever seen!  They are absolutely adorable.  It's just amazing to see that little life beginning.  I'm sorry you and DH haven't been feeling well.  Hope you are starting to feel better.  Thanks for the good wishes.  I actually have shorter cycles, so I'm about 9dpo and I usually only make it about 10dpo before awful AF shows up, so I guess I'll know pretty soon.  Keeping my fingers crossed!  :)

Have a good day everyone.

[Stacey1718]

Good morning,

Just a quick note to let you know about my u/s.  I have 2 follies this time - the fewest so far.  One is 20 and one is 16.  They are waiting for my blood results but I may do the HCG shot today (IUI Fri/Sat) or may wait until tomorrow (IUI Sat/Sun).  Early than I had thought!  So, it's ok I guess.  I prefer to have more eggs for better chances but we just need one right!?

Vortex - awesome pics!  Thanks for posting.

I'll check in later!  Have a great day.

Stacey

[vortex1]

OK ladies, I finally figured out how to use my scanner and uploaded the pictures. Check it out.

[vortex1]

Candie:
Good to know that the move was smooth and you guys are enjoying the new place. How is your tww going? Guess you have one more week to go.

mommyin:
Did you O yet. I remember you getting the +opk during the weekend. How are things with you? My nausea kicked in sometime late last week and I am throwing up on most of the usual things I eat, like milk. The moment I have milk it all comes out. It is hard trying to find the right food and eat. With the flu, my tiredness have multiplied tremendously.

Mamatina:
Did AF show up for you at all? How are things with you.

luvkayln:
The pumpkin idea is awesome. We will be waiting for the pictures.

Stacey:
All the best for your u/s on Thursday. 15 and 2 13's sounds good. Good to know that Honey blend in well with you guys and let us keep our fingers crossed for the family to grow soon. Prayers for this IUI.

joyce:
Good to know that you cycle is getting regularized.

leighanne:
How is sleeping working out for you. The only problem I have now is I accidentally lie on my bbs (sorry for TMI) and it hurts very badly. I wake up and adjust my position.

babynr:
That is not appropriate for your MIL to say something like that. I know sometime people dont know what to say when. How are you?

[leighanne143]

hi vortex- i am now 15 weeks 3 days.  yeah

[Stacey1718]

Vortex - Congratulations!  That is awesome news.  I can't imagine how amazing it would be to see the little one!

Arlotheslug - Hang in there!  We are here and just get to your appt Friday before getting too discouraged.

Michelleinhawaii - we are definitely going to be close...maybe even the same days. Are you having an u/s to see your follies?  I have one tomorrow morning to see how many and how big.

Unlaced - that was very insensitive of dh but I do find they lash out in mysterious ways.  My dh sometimes forgets altogether if we are making plans and I have to remind him that we will be doing iui or I can't drink alcohol etc.  It's hard to understand because I feel like it is on my mind every moment of every day.

I'll check in tomorrow to let you know how the u/s went!
Stacey

[vortex1]

Sorry ladies, I disappeared for some days. Its been hard catching with studies and work and DH fell sick on top of it and guess what, I am sick now. Down with flu.

Today I had my first u/s and was speechless to see the little bean. We had a heart beat of 130 and it is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life.

I am trying to catch up with the status for all of you and updated some of them. Some status may be off by a day or 2. Pardon me and I will correct them as soon as I go thru all the posts

I have to buy catridges for my scanner and I think I can post the pictures only on the weekend.

unlaced:
I can totally understand the way DH behaved. He might have get stressed and over reacted. Atleast you have us ladies here to vent. But think about him. He keeps all his feelings inside and when it comes down it can be pretty scary. But understand that he dont mean a thing or not even aware of what he was saying. I will keep my fingers crossed for this month.

Arlotheslug:
Dont lose hope. Things will trun out to be good by next test. I will keep you in my prayers. The increased doseage will definitely work.

babynr:
Welcome back.

i'm sure you're right.  thanks.  :)

[mommyin10]

Ugh ! :(  I'm so sorry for you.  I'm sure dh is stressed about ttc, going away, seeing you stressed out, etc. & just doesn't know how to deal with it.  Try to stay relaxed & hope for the best!  But if this isn't your month, hang in there & stay positive :)  Take care !

[unlaced]

lol, crampy.  still nauseous.  i puked my guts out last night.  didn't take a test this morning but i didn't have to because i now have pretty heavy bleeding.  :P  i'm staying positive, though.  OH.  here's a rant.  dh was naturally getting tired of hearing about how i "might" be O'ing...back when it was hard to tell for sure.  well, then he got tired of hearing that i might be PG (honestly, girls, i didn't say it that much-he's just...the impatient sort sometimes).  anyways, so when i got the +hpt he said he didn't see it (ya, look at the pics, it's THERE).  so, that was a letdown.  then late last night, when i told him i thought i miscarried, he said, "ya, because you couldn'tve just been not pregnant..." (add sarcasm to this).  i walked out the back and slammed the door.  how f'ing insensitive is that???  that's really not like him at all.  he's usually one of the most sensitive guys i know, especially to me.  so this really hurt.  later, he came and apologized saying that he was sorry, he wasn't thinking, and that i know my body better than he does.  i still don't feel much better, though.

[mommyin10]

Arlotheslug:  I'm sorry you're feeling so down :(  It's great, though, that you're being closely monitored.  They're able to up your drugs & hopefully you have an improvement by Friday !  Now I'm sending YOU tons of karma !!!  Take care :)

Luvkayln & Stacey:  I know FF says you can get a +opk the same day you O, but the ewcm came Sat. & Sun. and the major lower ab cramping was Sat.  So, I don't know when I O'd, but either way it's okay :)  I'll just wait it out!

Unlaced:  How are you feeling?  I'm so sorry about the negative test.  Hang in there ! :)

[Arlotheslug]

Hi ladies,
Thanks for the support.  I am trying REALLY hard to stay positive and need all the good thoughts you can bring . . . thank you.  I am not sure what I will do if they cancel this cycle - especially after the last IUI.  

I am sorry I am so down and will stay off for a while.

Have a good wed.

[Joyce49788]

to those having problems, you are in my prayers....as are those ttcing.
if you have gotten bfp's then....CONGRATS

i think my cycle is finally getting back to normal.  we will see.  i had a 30 day cycle and af was here for about 3 days...this is almost like what it was before IUD...whoo hoo
so i should O around the 13th.....and then start af on my birthday....sept 30.  wouldnt it be great if i didnt start and got a bfp....lol  the day i turn 35.  which is something that i have kinda been stressing cause alot of ppl i have talked to about wanting another baby tell me that there are sooo many more risks to me and a pregnancy after 35.  so i am a little scared, but whatever happens i believe is suppose to happen.  

anyhow just wanted to update.  have to head out the door but will check in later tonight...hope you all have wonderful days.

hugs, luv and ssbd to all

[leighanne143]

babynr- hello, i left you a little note like a week or so ago.  tell your beast of a MIL that i said she can keep her comments to herself.  sometimes people are so insensitive.

arlotheslug- do not igve up hope, you never know, your count could be plenty.

candie429- i have been doing well.  getting a lil more engery and sleeping a little more.  we will hopefully know what we are having within the next 2 weeks so i am excited.  how have you been?

stacey- congrats on how well honey is doing and on your follies.

unlaced- take it day by day right now.

[Michelleinhawaii]

Stacey ~  I guess we will all be in the 2ww wait together...I am having my IUI's on the 8th and 9th :-)

Arlotheslug ~ Maybe your estradoil will go up with the increased meds, be positive.

We have been really busy...we wnt camping and had an open house this weekend.  It's good that I am keeping busy.  I don't have too much time to obsess about TTC.  

[Stacey1718]

So sorry unlaced!  I was very excited for you :(   Big hug!!

Arlotheslug - Ugh is right!  I really really hope you will have at least get some answers so that if you have to try again they know why and can hopefully fix the issue.  It seems strange!  You may be pleasantly surprised by having your drugs increased.  All the best Friday and I really hope you get some good news!!!  Will be thinking of you.

Luvkayln - You sound like you have been busy!  Wow!  It may be good to keep your mind off things but don't over do it! :)

Take care ladies. We need some good news!
Stacey

[unlaced]

thanks girls.  to make things worse, i went from pink-tinged cm to actual blood.  i think it's over.  and i'm sorry, arlo, that must be difficult.  i'm sure they'll find something that will work better-hopefully sooner rather than later.  :)

[luvkayln]

Hi girls! What a long weekend it was for me! We had 2 weddings at the winery, it was busy! I got absolutely NO sleep, and got almost 32 hours in just over the weekend! So glad to be back and see how everyone is doing!!

mommyin09- I sent you a message, but I'm so happy to hear you got your +ve opk! And much sooner, may I add! I'm suprised and jealous! :) My ovulation is taking it's sweet time now that I'm not on clomid, so you're very lucky it didn't mess with your cycles! :)  I hope this weekend was a successful one for you! I see you were confused about your ovulation because of your temps. I read on FF that you can get a +ve opk on the day of ovulation. I will check out your chart.

unlaced- So sorry dear! I was reading through the posts, and got so excited for you, and then I read your last one. That's so weird, I didn't look at your pics of your test, but that's weird that it was +ve, then the test at the docs office was -ve. Don't lose hope. If not this time, soon, ok? I know it's hard, we're all there with you!

arlotheslug- sorry to hear about your results! Hopefully friday will bring better ones, and you'll feel better about this cycle! Good luck!

Babynr- Hey there! It's so good to hear from you! I'm so sorry your mil is being so insensitive about your m/c! Some people just don't get it! Don't let her bring you down, you need to grieve and talk all you want about your child! Don't EVER let anyone tell you to "just forget about it." That's still your baby, no  matter what! We've all missed you, and are glad you are looking forward to your 3 embryos! Keep peekin' in every once in a while, until you feel comfortable enough to come back for good! :)

Stacey- Congrats on your u/s! I can't wait to hear how many follies will mature this time! Good luck with your next u/s! I hope this iui does the trick! :)

mamatina- Hope you feel better soon!

candie- thanks again for the message last week! It meant sooo much to me to hear that from you!! :) Half way through your 2ww already, wow!! I hope this is it for you!

[Arlotheslug]

Unlaced:  I am very sorry.  It is still possible, I think - I have heard that certain tests are not as sensitive as others.  Are you going back for another test?

So, I debated posting my results today.  Not so good - you know women's intuition - I just knew something was up.  Apparently, I am not responding to the drugs so well.  My estrodil was very low (under 100) for this stage in the stimulation.  Pretty down.  And, when asking the nurse if I should be concerned - she said if they don't go up by Friday (next test), I should be and she said they were pretty surprised by the results - which I take to mean that this whole thing will be a failure ;-)  UG!  

So, I am trying to pick myself back up again and hoping I am overreacting, I guess I like drama ;-) They are upping my drugs, which is good that they can do that, AND I am going back to accupuncture.  Expensive, but it might kill me if I don't.  

On that happy note (hey I am trying).  Talk to you later.  

[unlaced]

Thanks everyone.  *sigh*  I just went to the doc.  I feel like crying...and barfing.  NEGATIVE.  My test was + this morning!!!  I'm 13DPO, and actually when I wiped earlier i got pinkish stuff.  Not bright red, but tinted pink cm.  PLEASE tell me this is late implantation and that I just didn't have enough hormone in my blood yet!
