Thanks! I made two too. We will use them some day. The beanies decide when to come & stay. It's hard to be patient, persevere and have the tenacity we must have to continue to make our dreams come true. I just know that when they do, we will all be much more appreciative and cherish our blessings and gifts! Are you taking a break from TTC? What is your status? Last I recalled you were in a TWW I thought?

I am taking a break and possibly moving onto IVF/ICSI. It's hard taking a break but it is needed. My 2ww ended on the 7th. So right now we are looking into other options and looking at finances for IVF. It is hard to be patient but everything you said I completely agree with.

I actually been working out and trying NOT to think about it.

I just got home from my IUI a little while ago. Everything seemed to go well, here's hoping for a sticky bean!!

Haj, how did yours go?

Are you kidding.. the tww to the tww wait is killing me LOL

I don't know why but I am feeling quite optimistic about this round. This cycle I am not going to test until 14dpo and I am going to ignore any and all symptoms. Progesterone causes all the symptoms anyway so symptom spotting is counterproductive. I thought about doing OPK this time and temping but that also is silly. OPK will not tell me anything because the trigger will make it + and the progesterone will affect the temping so again useless. I may ask if I can come in one day after IUI for one more scan to make sure I ovulated (unless I feel o this time). I am not starting the progesterone until 2 days post trigger either...

I only have three more cracks left at this but I would really love for this to be the last attempt I need!!

Frolicky, the quilt is so sweet and beautiful. Sometime soon a baby will snuggle up with it. Wishing you a speedy recovery and sticky BFP when you are ready.

ellemar > GL with the 2WW!

jchic > Fx'd for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

SandaraB > I cant help my trigger was out on 7DPIUI and 9DP trigger.

froliky > Im so sorry Wish I could just give you a proper hug!! That is a beautiful quilt!!!!

haj > I would say a clear one most probably before the 40hrs has passed after it, 3dpiui mine was very faint already.

oneof14 > GL with the remainder of your TWW. What meds where you on etc?

Bluestorm > Thanks When do you test?

Equal > I bought chocolates and me and DH had one each night before bed.

mamdreams > A cold is a good thing, it lowers your immune system which makes implantation easier.

nicker > Im agreeing with you on everything, no temping, no OPK's, but I think I might test the morning of my Beta. Im also gonna only start my progesterone the day following my IUI. My LP is normally fine on 14days so that should really not make such a big different but it will not inhibit ovulation. My trigger im not going to do 40 hour prior to IUI, im going to do it 38hrs as I started Oing the morning of my IUI (about 4 hours before the IUI) and im gonna ask him to check the follicles to see if they have popped

AFM > Yesterday I started looking at suggested supplements that are taken for IVF, I figured if it will help them it will help me. So I came across how important Omega 3 is for you. Does any of you girls take Omega 3, not the 3-6-9 combination just 3? If not, do yourself a favour and read into it, it is like the same as folic acid importance.

So if you started Oing 4 hours earlier that means 36 hours after trigger. This is consistent with most of the data that I have been able to find. I really hope I feel O this time. even better if it is while I am hanging out for the 15 minutes after my IUI or on my drive home. I think that would be pretty good timing!!

By not testing until 14dpo I meant that I would poas on the morning of beta but not before.

ive had the horrible cold too. i feel ok other than being all snotty and coughing. im also exhausted slept >12 hrs the last 3 nights (im trying not to over think it). i need some sun. got my work schedule next month and i have two weeks off in the middle.. did the math and even if/when this month craps out, that falls after when id have to do my next iui (march is my birthday month, i was born 3/3/73 at 3.33, itd be my 3rd iui etc.. couldnt skip it). anyways, decided... belize it is. found a nice trip (im too lazy to plan stuff on my own, going with intrepid as always.. i considered the galapagos but the trip that fit my schedule you sleep on a boat and i decided if it did work.. that is not where i wanna be).., trip is half touring and half sitting on a beach., i think i can do that.. only hang up is flights. they all have a 1 hour 20 min layover in houston.. umm, ive been through customs in houston, i dont think that is possible.

Sounds nice!
