jchic-yup! I need to wait 2-3 months for an opening to do an HSG but trying to make an appointment with an OBGYN now... I think I need some tests done and hopefully clomid.
You are all inspiring to me. We're in this together!

Hopeful, how strange - I wonder if the CBFM assumes you have ovulated already, considering how late you are in your cycle, and the monitor is only meant to work for people with average length cycles. I would consider doing OPKs the rest of the cycle in case you have not ovulated yet. I am glad you will be going to the doctor soon!
Happy - wonderful news!! I love it! Now update your status and get yourself a ticker lady!

Hi Ladies -
Hope everyone had a nice weekend - I got to spend some time with my little nephew (2 months old), he is just adorable
. I'm on CD3 - I've got my HSG scheduled for Friday. I'm feeling ok I guess; trying to keep busy and get as much work done as possible as its always hard for me to focus when O approaches. My husband is on travel this week and returns on Sunday, good timing for this cycle!
Creative - sorry to hear that you had a tough weekend, what CD are you on now?
Jchic -great story on your friend Rich, something good to remember.

Hopeful I'm sorry hun...how many sticks have you gone through this cycle? Some women do infact only get highs and still ovulate during that time...praying that is the same for you! Do you temp? That is the only way to know for sure if you did o.
smyth good luck for Friday!!! It's right around the corner!!!
Happy - awe....what was the baby's heartbeat? I love guessing the sex...though I know its an old wivestale it was true for both of my little ones! Did you get a profile shot? I was able to tell kaiya was a girl when I was only 11weeks!! You go by the nub shot, its a lot of fun. And like 80-90% accurate. I'll tell you more about that later!
Daisy - loving your temp this monring hun!!! Praying this is your month!!!!!!!!!! You so deserve it babe! XO
AFM - temp way low this morning 97.50, below my coverline and where I usually am when I get AF, I know she will show today but its ok...moving onto cycle 6...and with a smile

Creative! Dont worry, you are just one cycle closer to your BFP! What is a nub shot?? Explain! LOL
I was just reading on one of the gossip sites at work (I should be reviewing some trainings I have to conduct next week and fine tuning asn onboarding schedule for a new employee, BUT I am not feeling very productive today so expect to see many posts from me, hahaha) and they were showing all these prego celebs and I was amazed at how differently they all carry. I am going to be the fattest grossest kind, you watch! haha.
BTW, I am sure I have all told you this, but my MIL is the epitamy of nosy and annoying. She means well and has wonderful intentions but she sticks her nose where it doesnt belong, constantly. And I have no shame to put her in her place, constantly. So on Sunday, we went there for breakfast and I felt sick after I drank OJ. I mean, I wanted to vomit and I had to run to the bathroom (NO, its not what you think, I literally just drank it way too fast). So I come out and shes like "OH MY GOD! Are you pregnant? YES! I am so excited. This is wonderful. Remember, you can only gain 20-25 lbs tops with a pregnancy because thats what I gained with Michael and thats whats healthy, so only eat cottage cheese if you have to!"....so of course, my response was" NOt pregnant Donna. just sick. So glad you only gained 24 lbs 30 years ago with your pregnancy. My mom gained 22 with both my brothers and guess what? She gained 60 with me and lost it all! Everyones body responds differently so when that time comes I will go by what MY OBGYN says, ok?"
grrrrrrr

Creative - we can almost be cycle buddies then Among the host of non-helpful things people have said to me (just relax it'll happen, just have sex it'll happen, etc., etc.) one of the helpful things that a friend of mine said to me - was "it only takes one egg, and maybe for you, the right egg is the August egg (or fill in whatever month)" even though it kills me to not be in control, it helps to think that every cycle is one cycle closer to it happening.
jchic - All my friends have been little skinny minnies with their baby bumps, and every time I see a normal pregnant lady who gains all over, I make a point to point her out to my husband so he can see what I'm going to look like
My husband is travelling this week, but we had a good chat last night on the phone and he promised me a babymoon in Hawaii, where I've always wanted to go, so thats another thing I'm excited about for whenever it happens. Also, got some friends (who happen to all be single) together last night to watch the train wreck that is the Bachelor and it was nice to not focus on babies - got to hear some hilarious online dating stories, and talk about other things. CD5 today - getting ready to ramp up for ovulation and HSG (not in that order
)

Smythdm - awesome about the prospective babymoon! Love it! I want to go on a babymoon sooo bad - not sure it will happen. Getting DH on vacation is always a struggle (he has a hard time leaving work, and leaving the kids, but once he's there he always loves it!). Love the Bach - total train wreck, as you say. Felt so bad for Kacie B last night, poor thing.
Jchic - I love that you put MIL in her place! My MIL is a piece of work as well - totally well intentioned, but very intense and judgemental. She hasn't said anything to me about TTC yet (thank God), but they are in FL for the winter, so I haven't spoken to her much past few months. I can't believe what she said about weight gain - how horrible. Does she give any thought to how that comment will make you feel if you do gain more weight than you'd like? It's a sensitive subject for every woman - can't believe she'd say that. I'm already carrying extra weight, so pregnancy is going to be kind of a disaster, as far as my body is concerned. I guess I will just deal with it later. I keep trying to motivate to diet & exercise now, but can't seem to find the focus/energy, probably because I'm so focused on TTC. And I just feel so worn out ALL the time.
Creative, sorry about the temp dip sweetie. I'm glad you are feeling better though, and like Jchic and Smythdm say - it's just one month closer to the eventual BFP.
Happy, thanks for that. I am not feeling disheartened - my mood is OK, but I really just don't think this is the cycle. Another BFN today. I know there is still time, but I just don't feel in my heart that this is it. I am looking forward to starting my next cycle with IUI and clomid, but also trying to be realistic, because the odds are only slightly better, even with that. I'm just trying to keep my focus on the big picture, which is that it will happen eventually. Maybe on the second or third IUI. I know it will happen. I know this sounds negative, and I don't mean it to be, I'm just trying to be realistic and not get my hopes up unnecessarily - it's emotionally healthier, for me, and helps me stay on an even keel, and not get frustrated or disappointed.

Ugh I know. My MIL falls into every cliche out there, literally. I used to bite my tongue but DH has told me in the past to just tell her, dont sit there and smile. He has had to put her in her place OVER and OVER again so shes used to it I guess. When we took her to see the house we just bought, we were so excited. My mom was OVER the moon and kept gushing and being like "Im so happy for you guys, this place is perfect for you both!" and Donna says "The master bathroom vanity is white, you will need to update that". Um, first of all, the vanity is nice and in great shape but yes it probably will get on the "to do" project list but honestly, thats what you are going to say? I rolled my eyes and walked downstairs. Didnt say a word. I heard DH from downstairs tell her "Mom, its not getting fixed now. Second, its not your business and not your house. We brought you here so you can see the place, not criticize it. Dont say one word the rest of the tour"....LOL
Daisy - I also feel like I wont concieve "naturally"....its weird because its like the worst fear you have that you think will be realized. We dont know that just yet and either way, we will get prego!

im to nervous to get a proper sticky! stupid i know. so i just modified my siggy!
they dont let you hear the heartbeat before 20 weeks or tell you the bpm where i live ( near Scotland). i think its a girl but that defies all family convention on both sides as its all boys everywhere in our families!

Hi there Creative, I don't temp. I wish I could but (I know how ridiculous this sounds) we are not in control of our heating and our apartment is constantly boiling hot! I heard external factors affect your temp and I thought 'Why bother?'. We actually open windows in Winter during the day to try get some air in!
I sure hope I ovulated! I could go for a progesterone test I guess. I guess three days before my 'low' could be the most likely time I ovulated if I did-so 7 days after that would be a good time for the blood test. What do you think?
I thought I was out of it for sure!
We bd' almost every second day during those highs.. And alot before the low. So here's to hoping. It would be a miracle for sure!
I am waiting on a potential OBGYN... they will let me know whether they will accept me as a patient. Also looking into a fertility specialist since it's been a year. Meeting with a lady through my church who TTC for years before getting pregnant. Now is almost due with no 3! Naturally!
Praying that it'll happen for us soon...
Love,
