Woohooooo!! Congratulations!! I'm excited too!!

[LunaBean]

Cus its exciting ur pregnant again Lea! lol

The donor is in the buildinggg..well, the bathroom to be precise lol. STILL nothing on an opks, its practically blank today, I cudnt have missed my surge tho!!! I duno whats goin on lol

 

[Tegans Mama]

I had problems with OPK's last time we were thinking of trying, I did a whole months worth with nothing on them! I get pain when I ovulate so I know I did, but the stupid OPK's said not!

It is exciting... Bit of a shock though

well ladies, after 3 days of reading from the beginning, i'm caught up

i feel there should be some kind of reward - is this the longest thread on this site?

i am happy to have found you guys. i am single and gay and decided this year to go it alone. i have a known donor, did a myomectomy in july for fibroids and my domestic partnership should be dissolved by next week making me really free and single

i am on cd4 but i don't think i will do my first iui until next month just because of when my donor will be available to do scheduled collections at the clinic. but i learned so much here that i am charting and we will do a trial home insemination this month. i ordered my supplies!

congrats to all the babies mommas on here and good luck to those still trying

 

[LunaBean]

Welcome cranberry! I think I'm gona make a badge for everyone who reads this whole thread, lol. Sorry to hear about your CP (sounds like ur glad tho? lol)..welcome to this mad house! Feel free to ask any questions you have..even if you think they're personal lol. I'm an old hand at this (as Im sure you've read), and I'm now in my 2 week wait! Good luck this cycle!

 

[Nimyra]

Welcome, Cranberry! You do deserve an award for reading the whole thread! Hopefully you'll get pregnant at home before your iui... its happened before!

Luna, if you make a badge I want one too!

 

[EpdTTC]

Me too me too!

Congrats Lea! That is awesome. I can't believe you "forgot" to tell us! I would've been screaming it! You are very lucky with those first tries and fertile it seems!

Welcome Cranberry! Good luck with your inseminations! As Nimyra said, you could get pregnant before your IUI-it happened to me! I did a very casual, unplanned round of home inseminations in June with the intention of having IUIs the following month, and to my surprise, I got pregnant! I hope the same happens for you!

 

[cranberry]

thanks ladies.

as soon as af ends i am going to load up on evening primrose oil because although i was not one to pay attention before, i highly suspect that my CM will be very little. better be safe than sorry.

 

[LunaBean]

grapefruit juice is a great quick-fix for CM too, even tho it tastes vileee lol

 

[Nimyra]

lol. I love grapefruit juice. I can drink it by the gallon. And did the month I conceived!

 

[topazicatzbet]

im on the grapefruit juice this cycle but havent had much yet. im really worried im gonna have a dodge cycle again.

im in for a late night to night as the dog has gone into labour hope its not too late cos i ve got to drive to my donors tom.

 

[LunaBean]

aww, wat dog do u hav?

 

[topazicatzbet]

beagles. mum is tan and white and dad is tri colour so should have a mix of both.

 

[day_dreamer]

Awww cute!

I've just realised (I know, i'm a bit slow in realising this lol) but it's going to mightily awkward if/when we do find a donor - I work nights! Well, the evening shift so 2-10pm - when on earth am I going to fit it in? It's hard enough finding someone suitable never mind then having to find someone who can come round after 10.30pm!! :S

 

[EpdTTC]

You can always do it before 2:00 day_dreamer! I inseminated at 1:30 in the afternoon the cycle I conceived and was out and about later in the day!
