Lisa, sorry your so stressed about the IUI. Try and stay positive, I'm sure it will pay off. I know it's discouraging sometimes and there isn't really anything anybody can say to change how you feel but hang in there. Sounds like between the BEding and the IUI procedure you have a high chance you caught the egg.

Kd, looks like many of us are just about to O or just O. Lets hope the TWW goes by quickly for us.

Amy, hope the chocolate helps with the cramps.

Krystina, Any symptoms?, looks like your our next tester right?

 

[threemakefive]

You all are hanging out too much...ur cycles are syncing up lol these tee waits are taking longer now that u all do them together lol

 

[krystinab]

Lol I was thinking the same thing three! I'm not testing until next weekend, BORING

Amy sorry your lil belly is streching! Hope the choc works!

Sunny I don't really symptom spot it's just stressing me out! Just trying to chill and not go flipping crazy

 

[Sunny skies]

Krystina, I always say I won't symptom spot but then I start going crazy and think everything's a symptom. Nice to hear your staying relaxed this cycle. Can't wait to see your BFP.

May I dont think you meant 15,000 if so I will come work for you I think you should ask for a raise at worst he will say no!! Just make sure when you are interviewing you negotiate the hell out of you salary. You dont want to be in a position where you left your old job and still are not making the money you deserve. I feel like the higentist do all the damn work! As for the people getting pregnant the first time, I really feel like its the luck of the draw...like you, Im just not that lucky But hey I think puttign all theis time ot TTC helps us be better moms, I know I personally cant wait to have to get up in the middle of the night to nurse. I just cant wait

Amy I am estiatic that everythings ok with your lil bundle of joy!! We are aboout to have a baby boom on this thread!

Lisa you are probably at the DR office right now!! (Got the right day this time) Good luck sista!!

AMF, well nothing...either 5 or 6 DPO...boooooo....four more days til my RE appointment, scared but excited at the same time

I, seriously, make my boss $15000 on average a month! The doctor I am having the interview with tomorrow already tried to lower my asking salary. What's wrong with these people?

May - I was a dental assistant for a few years, so I totally understand what you mean! Why are most dentists so disgruntled anyway?!?!?! I believe that you definitely bring in that much money for him! I started going to school to be a hygienist and then took a break last year... not sure if i am going back or what!

Jaime - I agree that most dentists are disgruntled. With my boss, he is getting ready to retire in a few years so I am assuming that contributed to his stinginess. I bet he wants to make as much money as possible before he retires or sells his business. On the other hand, he should be more appreciative of people who are helping him make money. He can totally afford to give me a few dollar raise with all the money I make him.

I believed you said you are an accountant? Do you like what you do? Being a dental hygienist is great but it's also a tough job. We sit all day and my back and shoulders are always sore. Its a very physical job. And you deal with so many people that you really have to be tolerant and patient. But if I can do it, anyone can. Lol.

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Lisa - this is your month!!! Your husband's gazilion swimmers will make it to catch that egg. No worries!!!! You won't need IUI next month because you will be preggo by then!!!! Think posiitve!

AFM - I am only at CD 13 and don't usually O until CD 20.... Why do I have such bad cramps on my left side all day long? I hope it's not my appendix, a cyst or an infection of some sort. Urggggg!!!!!

 

[jrowenj]

May - I am an accountant but its sooo damn boring. When I worked as a dentAl assistant, I really fell in love with the field. I even loved the 12 hour days I would have at times! I loved nbeing with different patients eevry hour it really made the day go by and I'm a people person so I loved neing with so many diff ppl throughout the day. I agree its physically demanding! I give you props for the work you do! The back aches were def a downfall to the job.

As for ur cramps is it possible ur gonna ov early?!

 

[BeverleyLN]

Going into Triage for a check had a small gush of fluid they aren't too worried they think it's discharge but it was quite watery and i'm very worried....................... let the stress begin!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Jaime - you certainly deal with lots of people as a hygienist but it's also boring because you are doing the same thing over and over again. I didn't think the job would be stressful but it is because the unexpected happens all the time... Patients come in late, you running behind on your schedule, uncooperative kids, adults that are scared of the dentist and give you a hard time, etc. I really like what I do but finding the right office to work in is hard. I guess that goes with every job. Have you thought about continuing with hygiene school? How much more do you have to finishing up?

Bev - I am sure everything is ok especially since the doctors aren't concerned. Please don't worry... You'll see your healthy baby soon!

 

[armymama2012]

Is slippery CM technically watery CM? I am crampy this morning on my left side, low temp., HSO cervix, and clear slippery (just slightly stretchy) CM. We did BD at 2 a.m. so could this just be remnants of his spermies instead of CM? Help! I am only on cd 10 right now and I usually dont ovulate officially til cd 20 or later.

 

[krystinab]

HHHAAAAPPYYYY FRIDAY!!

Army, I think that still may be fluid from sex last night. Have you started using OPKs this cycle?

Bev, I am sure everything is fine but like you I would be so stressed. Are you on bed rest?

Lisa, whats up lady? Did you BD last night???

May, have you talked to your boss yet? He sounds like a docuhe, but most of them are! I cant believe the other Dentist tried to low ball you too, *******. You need to just go to school and become a dentist I am sure you can do it! Your body may be preparing for O, you better startyour OPKs now!

AFM, FF just moved my damn O date to CD16 I am so flipping pissed. Its all good though I am preparing myself for the RE on Monday. So I am so pissed at my sister. I told her about the baby psychic thing in privacy and she goes and tells Sean. So last night we were in the bed and he asked, did you go to a psychic? I was like no but I emailed one off my board, I didnt think you'd be intrested so I didnt share, but I wasnt trying to hide anything...but I was so embarrassed...that was private and the sumb psychics was WRONG. I want to go slap my sister. I think instead she will be lumped with everyone eles who doesnt find out I am pregnant til my second trimester! I am pissed.com

 

[snowflakes120]

Thanks for all the great support yesterday ladies! I really appreciate it alot!!

Krystina - I'd be so mad too. I swear you can't trust anyone these days. Hooray for RE!! I am so excited for you!! I can't wait to hear what you plan is going to be.

Army - I would think it's just left overs. There is some test where you can put it in water. I can't remember how it goes but one of them sinks - either the CM or Sperm. I'm sure Dr. Google has tons of info on it!

May - I believe your appendix is on your right. My sister recently had hers out. Hope the job search goes well for you. You need to be happy at your job. And look whos talking the girl that needs pep talks to go into work because I can't stand my co-workers. FX for the interview today. Let us know how it goes. FX! Oh yea. Do an OPK!

We BD'd again last night before bed. One last ditch attempt. I did end up temping again today but it went down just a tiny bit so I for sure think/know things weren't timed right. Oh well. Too late now. Live and learn. I didn't even bother to enter it into FF - I put the BBT away and will not be touching it. It brings me too much stress. I did find an RE in NY where my family lives, it says they have "out of town management" so I will be calling them today and see if they are willing to do the IUI while I am visiting. It's worth a shot at least.

 

[jrowenj]

off to Virginia for the weekend! I will be back Sunday and catch up and update. HOpe you ladies have a good weekend! xoxoxo

 

[threemakefive]

Krystina, I totally understand where you are coming from on your sister...let me start with my sister told my BOSS I was pregnant, BEFORE I WAS! and I lost my summer position of filing in for people (i work for a school, so I fill in as needed in the summer) but they assumed I was pregnant and not returning for the summer...then she told my dad who told a bunch of people and I was PISSED I still havnet spoke to her or my father(since May), firstly if I was at the time(which she asked and I told her no bc I wasnt) I dont know why she would tell anyone knowing of my loss and second I didnt even know I pregnant then so that was worse...I was IRRATE! Then, I tell a friend I am pregnant (as only 15 people still know to this day, we didnt want to tell too early, then we just wanted to find a perfect way to tell) and that friend told my cousins wife then lied and said she didnt tell, havent spoke to her in a month now bc of that. GRRR people are annoying..but we have decided to tell in a month-ish with a halloween costume, a shirt with skeleton ribs and a skeleton baby

Lisa maybe you are meant to concieve in NY I hope its this month for you but if not, NY baby conception will be neat to remember
