Aww Angie, feeling nostalgic You were always so happy, bubbly and positive throughout the whole time and am so happy that it worked for you this time around.

Crystal, your little precious newborn girl is gorgeous.

Erin & Kel & everyone else best of luck with your cycles xo

Wow Erin, your chart looks amazing! You are what, 11 or 12dpo? Wish I could see more of your charts to compare previous temps When are you going to test?

Thanks ladies

Nothing much going on here. Getting good at taking my prenatals again, was kind of spotty for awhile. 2 more days of femara. I don't feel any twinges yet, but keeping my fxd. One of the girls who works in my dh's office just announced that she is pregnant...again Her boy is not quite a year yet. He was the one that I watched for awhile. She is always scrambling for someone to watch her baby now because she can't find anything permanent and now she's going to have another. It's just not fair!

Angie how did I miss that you are pregnant. Congrats! So happy for you.

Thanks KEL. I *think* I O'd cd 23...I wish I could compare charts too but since I'm not vip anymore, and my other months I was, I can't seem to find them! I tested today, SMU with a FRER and super super negative. If my temps start to plummet, I won't test but if they stay up, I'll try and hold out until Saturday...
Life is not fair hon, it super sucks sometimes!

 

[lorojovanos]

I found charts and added them to my journal!

It's still early Erin hopefully temp stays up.

I totally understand Kel, I have a family member going on her 8th baby and she only has her last born. She is one year older the me an only has one ovary. She lives off of welfare I guess thats why she doesn't mind being pregnant all year round. I was so angry with her. I actually don't associate with her she is a bad mother. My hubby an I have an education he has a great job an we have our own insurance. We only decided to try for a baby when we knew we could afford it without depending on anyone or any program, thats why I was always so confused an angry. I don't understand how everything works but life at times does seem unfair. I just learned to give thanks for our health, everything we do have and another day of living.

Thanks Andrea! Do you know what you're having yet?

 

[aig2011]

Erin your temp is staying pretty consistant. I hope it's a good sign. Hoping tomorrow will be up again. You know you ovulated on your own which is great.

Hubby is still not sure on a name. He just finished telling me he likes our original pick as well. We originally wanted Christian Brees, but since he isn't a saints fan he didn't want to associate our little ones name with their quaterback. LOL He is so crazy but he is looking at it as a whole and does like it. So we are stuck between Christian Brees or Liam Alexander. Either one is perfect. He said we will have it picked out by next week for sure. *we shall see* So we can start getting his bedding customized and other clothing like jerseys.

Hope all you wonderful ladies are having a wonderful day

Football season is about to start!!!!

Ok, so now I have myself freaked out. Has anyone heard of LUFS? Luteinized Unruptured Follicle Syndrome.

https://simone-perseverance.blogspot.com/2011/03/lufs-luteinized-unruptured-follicle.html

Basically there is no way other than u/s to know if your body does it because ALL other tests come out normal for o, including prog tests! Makes me wonder if I do this and that is why after 6 years and 3 months I've only gotten preg twice. I found this when I was researching ibuprofen. I thought that you could take it up to o day and then stop. But all of the papers I have found on it say that you shouldn't take it at all, that it can postpone ovulation up to 5 days!! That is my go to drug for headaches and af, Tylenol doesn't touch it! Guess I can be good for 2 months and just suffer, I hope

 

[angelria]

Angie yes we are having a little girl

 

[Shelley83]

Wow Kel, that is really interesting. I was taking anti inflammatories too and stopped those the cycle I got preg too under dr instruction - so that sounds very promising. I was also taking natural anti inflammatories (turmeric) that I stopped the cycle I got preg this time too, so it's good to investigate that sort of stuff. I am glad that you may have found an answer - best of luck xo

 

[never2late70]

Kel, my doctor strictly forbid ibuprofin or and kind of nsaids.
Good luck!!

 

[kel21]

temp dip and major o pains, today's the day!

 

[lorojovanos]

Good luck KEL xo

 

[aig2011]

Sending prayers your way for a great cycle Kel

Erin- I hope your body cooperates with you this cycle. Hopefully you ovulate on your own again and won't need femara. Wishing you lots of luck.

Crystal how are you doing? Hope everything is going good.

Shelley- how are you doing? How far along are you now? Hope everything is going great.

Afm- baby boy is doing great had a check up on Friday. I will see my dr one more time on the 23rd then switching to her midwife. Talked to my dr about my birth plan. Doing research about hypnobirthing. She is doing the same it was pretty funny talking about it. I'm really excited, but like I said if I can't do it natural I have the option of an epi. But my dr did tell me about many of her staff that opt to go natural and do just fine. Hoping I can get to the point of no return and just do it naturally.

 

[kel21]

Good luck with that Alex! All I know is as soon as the pain started getting bad with my ds I asked for an epi! lol Although if I have another baby I'm not sure what I will do. I ended up with complications from my epi. It only affected 1 side so they had to reposition it. I could still feel it, but it helped enough I could nap, although when it came time to push most of it had worn off and the 1 side was full pain again! Also I ended up with back pain, the 1st year I could tell you exactly where the epidural went in because it still hurt right there. And now 7 years later I still get bad back pain, although it is now mostly in the lower back.

Thanks Erin

Speaking of back pain...Major major o pain, pressure and backache! I don't recall pain quite this intense before. Fxd that is a good sign and not a bad one! And this month I plan on taking a baby asprin everyday once I confirm o. ( I read that asprin is like ibuprofen in that it can delay o)

 

[aig2011]

That is exactly why I want to do it naturally Kel. Most of my family and friends complain of the back pain afterwards. So if I can avoid it I will do my best.

Really hoping it's a good sign Kel

Angie, Congrats!!
Alex, I love the name you picked for your baby, very cute!
Kel, I have my fx'd for you as always, good luck girlie!
Crystal, I love seeing all the pics of f.b. of the baby and madie is such a proud big sister
Shelley, glad things are going so well for you. Have you had an ultrasound yet?
afm, I just finished a/f a couple days ago. Hubby and I are leaving for vegas in a few days and will be gone for a week. I just know I'm going to o right in the middle of our vaction which means taking all my ovulation supplies with me and having to run back to the hotel room several times a day to test...ugh. Well maybe we'll at least get lucky and what happens in Vegas, won't stay in Vegas lmbo!

 

[kel21]

Dawn I'm going to Vegas in a few days as well

 

[Dawn2411]

Kel, we should meet up! What days will you be there?
