Hi everyone,

First...GAAHH!!!! Left, I am so, so thrilled for you! I mean, I have no words to express. You have made my week, thank you! Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months for you!

Mdc, thank you for the laughter as I followed the day you had! Keeping fingers, toes, and eyes crossed for you.

I want to tell all of you thanks for showing compassion regarding my sweet kitty. With his vet out of town till Monday, we have been riding it out at home. Going to his own vet is traumatic enough for him, I just couldn't force him to go to a stranger for something like this. We have an appointment with his vet Monday morning. Based upon how he has been doing--heavy, labored breathing, can't walk more than a few steps, won't eat or drink unless I syringe-feed him--I am expecting the worst and to have to say goodbye to him at that time.

DH had his SA yesterday, I'll keep you all posted with how that goes. I'm out for this month, as the ol' witch has just started to rear her ugly head. Right on time. I'm ok with that right now, 'cause I could surely use a glass of wine.

Hugs to all of you, TTC sisters.

I'm going to keep all my updates pg related in the other thread . I am however sticking around here as usual to cheer you all on to your BFP

I'm so so sorry about your kitty , its so hard when they are not well and we have to say goodbye . We had to get our dog PTS at Christmas time . It was such a sad time but sadder watching him suffer when unwell . I still miss him everyday he was such a goofie dog !

 

[Star2011]

Thats a beautiful miracle Left! Am so excited and happy about your BFP! We needed some good news to cheer us up in this thread! Cant wait to read your updates whether here or on the other thread! Congratulations again!

Congrats Left! It's like they always told us growing up...it only takes one time! Very happy for you!

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. It's been a busy summer but we're having fun. We're going to be blue heeler puppy parents at the end of August. First dog for me, I've always had cats, so I'm a little nervous. My husband is super excited. She was born on 6/25 and just opened her eyes this week. We just needed something to shift our focus away from TTC. We're taking a break from the whole thing and just living our regular lives, striving for happiness and healthiness. Seeing an RE isn't off the table, but we're not ready yet. The big 3-9 comes for me next week so I know we need to make some decisions soon if we're going to do it, but for now, we're just chillin and looking forward to bringing home another fur baby.

Best of luck to all of you! I'll still be stalking!

 

[Left wonderin]

Mau a new family member how exciting . Fur babies are the best if you need any advice about puppy feel free to ask , I've quite a bit of experience ( worked for a dog rescue for years ) oh and an expert to hand oh is a dog behaviourist . Its such an exciting time have you thought of any names yet ??

So since I'm playing catch up where is everyone in their cycles now ? Sorry to ask but feel I've been away for ages and its only been 10 days !

 

[Dandi]

Yay for puppies! Your very first puppy, that's going to be exciting, lol. I have to say that our dogs definitely help me balance out from the ttc craziness. They are so funny and loving. I hope you enjoy being a dog mom!

I'm cd 11. We're taking it easy this month though. I don't feel like anything is going to happen until we get my thyroid results and DH's SA done. Monday will be a week since my dr appt, so I'm hopping for a call. The dr said he would be surprised if I don't have a thyroid disorder based on symptoms and family history and if so many of his patients end up pregnant very quickly once regulated. So I'm kind of praying that that's what's wrong and that it explains everything. DH has an appt next Friday for his initial appt with urologist, I hope the do the SA the same day bc otherwise that pushes us back to the first week of August based on our schedules. So for now, we're going to BD every other day (taking a SMEP break), and just cover our bases just in case, but really we're kind of on hold for a bit.

 

[KileyJean]

OMG CONGRATS LEFT!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

 

[Pothole]

Left!!!!! That news just made my week!!! I am just so happy for you!

 

[jessiecat]

LEFT: OMG!!!!! What a wonderful surprise!! You've been so supportive of everyone for so long. BTW, you guys only DTD ONCE? Crazy!!!!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

left - I'm still bonkers-excited for you!! please feel free to post here, but where are you going to be posting preggers stuff? i want to follow you!!

maui - that's so exciting about the new puppy! I've been somewhat wanting one - we have 2 kitties (12 and 13 yrs old) and they are kinda set in their ways and I think introducing a new puppy would freak them out or at least take years off their lives. So we'll stay put with them right now and get a puppy later. My FIL has a giant german shepherd that I call mine anyway. And quite honestly, all of his shedding, drooling and yard bombs are what make me only 'kinda' want a puppy!

krasa - good luck with the vet today. I'm thinking about you. Hold your kitty tight with hugs and love. then have that wine, for sure.

jessie - I can't believe you only have 5 or so weeks left! how's the move going? did you find a doc in CA yet??

kiley - love your pic! how are you doing?

dandi - i'm happy for you and your break. This stuff can make us so crazy obsessed, it's tiring. And just look at Left for quick thyroid turnaround pregnancies!!!

mdc - I know you're only a couple days post IUI but when is AF/testing day? Do you go in for a blood test after IUI or do you test yourself?

afm - not much going on here. DH and I had sex for sex's sake and it was wonderful!! I'm purposefully not using 'BD' b/c it wasn't baby dancing But after that we totally got into a fight and weren't normal all weekend. It's mostly my fault and I have to fix it. I hate fighting with him or him feeling any less than the incredible man I think he is.

 

[Mdc]

Krasa, thinking of you and your kitty today. And that witch is so mean, but hopefully the wine helped you a little.

Left, I am still so excited for you! Cannot wait to see your preggo posts in the other thread or here, either way is good for me. You have been such a great cheerleader for all of us now it is time for us to cheer you on.

Maui, how exciting about the new puppy and I would not be surprised if a sneaky BFP comes soon after. I swear sometimes our bodies are just waiting for us to move on and then BAM! And happy birthday week! I hope you are doing something fun.

Dandi, I hope your doc calls today. The waiting is the worst. Just look at left, once her thyroid (I think a different type, but still) was regulated she got her BFP right away. A month 'off' is odd, but it was refreshing at least for me. Still you never know!

Wish, yeah for good ole' sex the BD stuff is usually for the birds! Sorry about the fight and even more sorry it affected your weekend. All this stuff is so difficult and fights are bound to happen (even not about TTC) out of frustration. Big We are always hear to listen. Testing day for me is likely next Friday with just the old fashion way...POAS.

Afm, DPO 4 or I guess the lingo is dpiui 3, so not much going on just trying to relax. I have been talking to little ziggie (short for zygote) making sure it grows up to be at strong blast (blastocyte). LOL! Geeky I know, but I think positive visualization will help me this time because for the first time I think damn this will work. Honestly I am trying to stay really positive because the timing was SO awesome. So FF has me O'ing on Thursday the same day as the positive opk, which I think is early since opk at 8pm Wed night was still negative. But if it is right I am so glad we did the first IUI Thursday afternoon. I think the docs for both IUIs felt it was probably too soon to do the first based on their facial expressions when I said my opk was positive Thursday am, but I would have been torn if I waited to Friday to do the first one and FF said I O'd Thursday. So with his great counts/motility (1,000,000,000...yeap 1B one had to meet the egg right!) we could not have planned it better. DH was so sweet and insisted to drive me to the appt both times. Really the second time I figured I would go solo, but he kept asking if I wanted him to come. He finally said well I better come because I do not want you to miss a turn and get stressed. Isn't that why they invented navigation LOL! Even placed his hand on my belly the other night and said hello to the baby to be. Trust me he does not get mushy much, so I was kind of surprised.

So here is to likely the longest TWW yet! Let's get a landslide of BFPs all around.

 

[Dandi]

I love that you're having such a good feeling about this Mdc! Positive thinking really works! I can't wait until test day. Sending sticky bean vibes your way!

Left's good news totally has me feeling better about the possibility of a thyroid problem. =) I know that wait was difficult, but to get such happy news so soon after getting things straightened out is definitely encouraging! I talked to the nurse this morning and my results are back, just waiting on the doc to review before they call me about them. I logged in to the online portal that the doc's office has and noticed that they listed that he felt a thyroid nodule on my visit, so I'm expecting my levels to be off.

Taking a month off pretty relaxing. The doctor didn't say anything about waiting as of yet, so we're still somewhat trying, but not obsessively. We're bding every other day, but I'm not using preseed, not doing the lovely pelvic prop afterwards, etc, but I'm still temping and opking to track what's going on. CD 13 with a temp spike and no high opk yet, so definitely odd. If this was a really trying month, I'd be worrying myself to death about it, so it feels really good to just shrug it off and keep on going.

 

[Left wonderin]

Dani I'm also on a thread where others have had thyroid issues . I'm the only one over active everyone else was under or hypo . Three others got their BFP immeidatly after they got their levles sorted out . Ill send you the link if you like do you know your numbers ? Ie your level ? Make sure and ask . For pregnancy they like it to be between 2.5- 0.5 . I started out at 0.05 !! Now I'm 1.07 . Normal range is from 5- .5 but for preg they like it to be lower .

Mdc I've everything crossed tightly for you this month !

 

[Wish2BMom]

mdc - I love how positive you are being too! I, too, talked to my little bundles of cells! hahaha - come on, ziggie!! And I can't even believe DH has that many sperm! That's incredible!

left - when do you go in for a blood test? will you have a couple to see levels rising? guess you wouldn't have to since you did everything au natural! I still can't believe it - you did what you needed to do to make your body safe for a baby and BAM! Dreams do come true!!
