Jess-Thanks, it makes me feel better that it's normal to feel the way I do!! :flower: I can't imagine that first time that I'm going to have to stand up and show who's boss lol!! I'm anxious just thinking about it!! I feel like it's so hard to assert yourself when you feel out of your context and comfort level....I remember having really enjoyed my first stage, but being ready to kiss the university desks when it was over, thinking I was so much better at being a student than a teacher lol!!! :haha: But that's part of role-changing, isn't it?! It might take me a while before I feel like a teacher, but it will come! :flower:

Stacer: Hooray for AF!!! Wow! Only one more cycle and then you're on the ball! Girl, this is going to zoom by! Especially with crocheting HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! You know, last year I started a mini crocheting/knitting club at my university and taught some of my friends to knit/crochet like pros! I find it therapeutic...so relaxing! :flower: What's your first project?

May: I second Stacer, you're so not out yet!!!

Lisa: Thanks, I can't wait either!! All of a sudden, I don't feel pregnant anymore...I don't really feel sick anymore! YAY! But it makes me a bit nervous (I know that's stupid, I should just relax! It's about time I'm not sick anymore!), I can't wait for the reassurance of the ultrasound though! How are you feeling?!

Sunny: Still cheering you on, girl!
 
Tasha, glad you're feeling better!! The ultrasound will put you at ease in sure! It's only a little over a week away! Yay! And I kinda just got some good news, my biopsy came back negative, so that's good (even though I'm not quite sure what it was negative for?! Lol) and then she told me I can schedule my final ivf appt the same cycle as I do my day 2/3 blood work, which is great because I thought I was going to have to wait another cycle. So looks like 25 days and then I'm on my way!! Woo hoo! I just found out through the grapevine that a woman in my bldg at work got pregnant after ivf. Not sure how many cycles they did or what doc they went to buy at least that's positive for me!! I'm working on a project with her husband so I wonder if he will share more details!?! Of course I'd love to know! Lol but the good news is they got a positive!! As for my first project, I think I'm going to do a dog bowl mat, figure a rectangle shape is prob the easiest to start with. I'm having trouble loosing knots and my tension is off, but I'm sure with practice I can do better!!
 
I am sorry for those that AF has gotten :( I wish you luck in the next cycle.. Hopefully it will be your lucky cycle.

I think from the looks of my chart that I ovulated on CD 14 which is exactly 2 weeks after my loss... which is weird for me since I am generally a cd 17-19 but this whole MC thing was hard and weird so I guess I shouldnt be shocked... Any chart experts out there wanna look and see if thats about right?

The other part that makes it very strange is all of my OPK's do are close but haven't been darker than the control line. Since I am obsessive I am also using a CBFM and today it went to high fertility but that thing drives me insane because in the last 4 cycles I have never seen a peak. Which is nuts because obviously I ovulated last cycle and got a BFP and MC!

Omg sorry for the rant im so lost.
 
Stacer, so glad you only have one more cycle to go before IVF. I'm so excited for you. Glad your test came back negative. Would love to see a pic of your projects. My grandmother was big on crocheting, She taught me some basics but its been years, it can be relaxing.

Tasha, glad your feeling better, enjoy. Lots of people have no symptoms, I think you've been through enough. Can't wait for your ultrasound pic.

May, you're not out. Still cheering for you.

Brandy, I've never charted but with the opk's do you hold your pee and are you testing in the afternoon. I found that around 3 pm I got my best results. Some months I didn't get a clear positive but I went by my other symptoms. If your bedding every other day you should be covered. Good luck.
 
I use my CBFM in the morning since it's for FMU. I use my answer ovulation sticks at 3:30 pm after holding it from 1230 till 3:30 any longer and I would pee my pants...
 
Brandy, if your temps stay up tomorrow then I would agree that you could've ovulated on cd 14. Not sure why you didn't get a positively dark opk though, unless your surge is so short? Hopefully you dtd around the 14!!

Thanks sunny! I'm a bit nervous about ivf, but I mean it is a big deal so I guess it's normal to be nervous! I'll def post a pic after I make something. Didn't have a chance to buy a needle today though so I won't get started for a few days! Lol
 
um may as always your chart looks ahhmazing.......freaking test please

Thanks Stacer! I am excited to temp in the morning... I have been :sex: every other day since CD9.. I should of started on CD 8 but I didn't :( so we dtd on odd days.... 9,11,13,15, and 17 for good measure tomorrow.
 
Brandy-chart looks good for cd14! And your bd schedule seems great as well! Youve been busy!! Hope you caught the egg!! Now the dreaded 2 week wait! Hang in there!!
 
Brandy, we had to bd on odd days as well due to hubby's work schedule at the time. It worked for us, so I hope it works for you, too!
 
Uh girls, I think I am out. 13 DPO today and I feel a little crampy plus I saw a hit of brown spotting. I think AF will be here tomorrow. :(
 
Awwww May! I'm so sorry!! Darn it!! :nope: Sending lots of hugs your way! :hugs:

Stacer: YAY for one more cycle standing between you and IVF!!! :happydance: Too cute about the crochet project! Yes, def post a pic after you finish!! :flower:

Dove: Congrats on reaching the 3rd tri! :flower:

Sunny: Still keeping my fx for you girl!

Krys: Thinking of you!

Kd and Gemma: How are you two feeling?

AFM: More headaches today just when I thought things were clearing up :wacko: ...oh well! Such is life! :winkwink:
 
I have finally decided on a RE!!! This is a doctor I have been reading a lot about on another forums and he seems to be wonderful. Only thing is because he is so popular, his next available appointment is late June! Oh boy! So I made my appointment for July 3rd. That gives me two months to try it on my own before I consider treatment. I hope it happens naturally before my appointment. Thank you all for your encouragements. I am just waiting for AF to arrive any moment now and try not to beat myself up. I feel so defeated and broken.

I love you all and good luck to those in the TWW.

It's so great to have a plan! I hope these next couple of months are stress free for you, now that you have a definate plan of action!!!
 
May--That's wonderful!!!! :happydance: I'm so happy for you!!!! It's nice to have a back-up plan and knowing that you'll have someone to help you out! :flower: Like Dove, I wish you all the luck in the world for the next 2 cycles!! Love ya girl!! xoxox
 
Dove congrats on reaching another milestone.

May, sorry about AF, I understand feeling defeated but I am so happy your taking the next step. You probably won't need it but good to have a back up plan. Hugs.

Tasha, hope your headaches pass quickly, keep hydrated.


AFM, just trying to get past these next few torturous days. I promised myself no testing until AF is due. I can go into RE office on Fri if AF doesn't show.
