Cycle Buddy Wanted *UPDATE* Cycle 2 CD Oct 20 (Cycle 1 Cd1 22 Sept)

[DebsHopeful]

Hi Gabby! I am here. How you?

 

[DebsHopeful]

Had yesterday and today off work.
I spent yesterday with my best friend and her 4 week old baby boy. He is tooo cute for words but a lot of work.
Today was the IUI, so after the gynea visit I came home to bed and had a nap. Let the swimmers do what they need to do.
Had really intense ovulatio pains this month thanks to the HCG injection but at least I know I had a really healthy impressive ovulation. The gynea even commented on how much lovely EWCM I had, how embarressing is that *blush*

Gabby, I know I said temp but I am not so sure know, my damn thermometer gave me three different readings today, what is up with that!!!!

 

[Gabrielle]

hey hunni! Im so glad everything is going well for you!!! thats great!!! So all you do is wait to test to see if they worked?...like your eggs got the sperm put up there right..Sorry i dont know much about that stuff!

Well i did two opks today and so far they are getting a little darker..i think my temps if they detect O as on sunday..they are wrong. because my temps are so much higher then 97's post O so we'll wait and see! Dont worry hun..just wanted your opinion! lol thanks though!
Glad things are good! When do you get to test..?

 

[DebsHopeful]

The only way to guarantee catching that egg is to have lots of sex, no nicer way to put it! Gabrielle, I think if you have it in you, you should try and BD every day or every second day until Thursday. If I didn't have the HCG injection, the gynea said I was only going to ovulate tomorrow and he confirmed the egg can live for up to 48 hours after it has been released so the game isn't over just because the temps go up.
PS: Excllent news about the positive OPKs
PPS:
IUI (inter uterine insemination) :
This is where a fertility clinic takes your DH's sperm, gives it a wash and takes only the best specimen. These are then injected into the uterus. I am really lucky that my DH has a very high sperm count and exellent scores for motility, count and morphology. The reason they have to wash it though it that obviously there are little spermies that if concieved natrually wouldn't make it past the cervix, these one must obviously not be allowed to go into the uteris only the ones that are 110% perfect.
I am probably going to test 14th Nov, 10DPO

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Gabrielle]

Oh how exciting!!! Thats soon!!!...

yeah we have been bding everyday..we didnt yesterday but did this am so i know i shouldnt miss it! thanks hun!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

Hi girlies!! Look at all the excitement in here!! Woo hoo!!! I can't wait to see all your 2WW symptoms! Question for you Debs, did they fertilize your egg(s) and them put them in you? Is that how it works? Sorry I don't know much about it. If so did they only do 1 egg, or 2? Wouldn't that be awesome if you got twins out of the deal!!!! My cousin did that and she ended up with one of each, a girl and boy, who look absolutely nothing alike, they couldn't be more opposite, one has blonde hair, the other is a red head! LOL!!!

miss you guys so much!!

 

[DebsHopeful]

Hi R, Great to hear from you?
How are you and the bean feeling? Any nausea yet?

I am starting progesterone tomorrow which helps to keep the lining nice and thick so the egg has something nice and cozy to nestle into when it is there, unfortunately it apparently can make one have quite bad m/s - yikes!!

I had IUI, you are thinking of IVF (invitro fertilization, sorry if spelling is incorrect!!)
With IVF, the doctors chose the egg and chose the sperm and then force the two to fertilize in a petri dish and then put it back into the mother.
With IUI (the one I had), it used to be called, Artificial Incemination or as most girls like to call it, Assisted Incemination.
The gynea takes the washe sperm sample, sucks them up into syringe with a long tube attached to it and then puts the tube up past the cervix into the uterus and injects the sperm there. IUI is only offered to couples who have been trying for over a year with out success.

Twins!!! Don't scare me, there is a small chance from the clomid, but I think one little baba is probably more then enough to keep me busy, you have a little cutie-pie already so you know how much work they are

 

[Gabrielle]

Rhonda! OH hun, im glad to hear from you! How are you doing? Feeling sick yet? Tired still?..Miss you! Hope to be joining you soon! Take care hun!

 

[Nlytin]

Debs, that must be so exciting to have pinpoint timing on conception. It's not even my 2WW and I am so looking forward to yours!

Rhonda - How is that little bean doing? Giving you any fun pregnancy symptoms?

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

No, not much going on here, just tired. I tire very easily, just doing one normal task poops me out and I have to take a nap My nipples are a little sore but other than that nada! M/S isn't far away I'm sure, another week or two and it will feel real! We told the parents over the weekend. My mother-in-law almost cried, she was thrilled! My mom seemed happy too but she's a little harder to read. It was so funny, I made a t-shirt for Brayden that said "Big Brother to be" and put it on him, let him walk around and tell them himself. My mom read it and said Big Brother? He's not a big brother! Then she paused and looked at me and goes "NO!!" I just smiled! It was a fun way to tell them!

Debs does what you had done give you better odds at concieving? Sorry it must if you went to all that trouble I know how much work they are but I would be tickled pink if I found out I was gonna have twins!!

 

[Gabrielle]

Awww Rhonda, im glad that they were thrilled! I love the idea of the tshirt...i want to do that..but lol my oldest is a big brother...i could get the baby one i guess..hehe Glad you still feeling ok...the tiredness is the worst..specialy the first tri! I bet its so hard to take a nap whenever with the little one around..i member trying that when owen was just 2!!! Nearly impossible!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

Gabby you could do a different kind of shirt, there was another one I liked a lot that said "Oops they did it again" and under that in little text mommy's pregnant, or another one I liked on the front said "I have a secret" and on the back "mommy's pregnant...again" They have LOTS of cute ones out there!!
