For the Reproductively Challenged xxxxx

[TySonNMe]

I'm glad you're not having any side effects...woohoo!! But if you did, think of them as precursor to pregnancy...I'm not looking foward to the morning sickness, etc. Fx for a speedy visit from the so you can get crackin' on the Clomid!!

No major symptoms here...little bouts of nausea but no puking. Cramps and small pains down below but nothing major. Actually, you know what I am very, very tired!! Literally exhausted starting in the afternoon. I don't know if it's the lack of caffeine (I used to drink a cup in the morning and started weaning myself off to about a half a cup) or the li'l Butterball, but man could I use a nap!!!

 

[Kelly9]

I didn't notice a lot of tiredness in the beginning but am feeling it more now.

 

[TySonNMe]

Wow and you're in 2nd tri...everyone tells me that it's bad in 1st tri and then you start to feel better in 2nd tri...maybe that's not the case...I'm thinking I should start taking naps on my lunch break!!!

 

[Kelly9]

I wasn't hit in first tri with it though, I have a heavy course load with school and clinical and think thats why I am more tired now. I am not tired all the time, only some days so you could still be fine.

Okay so I have no idea what is hitting me right now, but I'm sure it's hormone related. I'm smiling and crying at the same time. I'v got a big knot in my stomach and I know I need to tell you ladies what I did so I csn make it go away.
So as you know I'v got the baby box started. So far it only has the thermometre in it. Well I was on ebay just now because DH and I need new phone cases and everything is way cheaper on ebay. So I shop and buy the phone cases and before closing the webpage I decide to gander at baby stuff. I have no idea what I'm looking for, but a thought hits me. DH and I want to decorate the baby's room in army camo. Ya that's a little presumptious that we'll have a boy, but even if we have a girl we'll still decorate with camo. We're not really pink people. lol So ya I decide to check for army bedding. Well low and behold there is actually an army camo bedding set. I was shocked. I thought I would have to sew my own. So I'm checking it out and it's so cute. Just perfect. Then I look at the price and the lowest bid is only $50 and it ends in an hour. I'm like "oh my this is deffinatly fate". So I text DH and ask him what he thinks. He says go for it. Then I start crying. Not sure why. I wasn't sad, in fact I was super excited. So I placed my bid and now I'm just waiting for the auction to end so I can have this special bedding set. I can't wait to put it in the baby box.
So that's my story. I knew I'd get rid of that knot as soon as I typed it out. Thanks for listening ladies

 

[TySonNMe]

Woohoo!! Fx you win that auction!! That's definitely fate calling your name!

 

[Kelly9]

I hope you win it to! The trick is to place your highest big with seconds left though so no one can raise it enough in time to beat you! I swear it works every time!

 

[shlindz]

Kelly did you steal my crib set?! lol someone used your trick on me and I lost the auction. It was down to one minute left and ofcourse I was already celebrating so when someone placed a bid $1 more than mine I didn't notice until it was too late. I was so mad and sad. But as a good believer in fate I left it. There is another set identical to the first for the same price, but I'm gonna wait it out. Deffinatly will pay closer attention next time! That's for sure. If you guys wanna check out the crib sets they are absolutely gorgeous. Just search jojo designs under baby. You'll see all the different designs by this designer. I really like the asian one too. My house is decorated with an asian feel to it. Dh and I have always like the zen feeling

 

[Kelly9]

I Promise I didn't steal it lol! Thats how you should big on ebay though, you'll have a higher success rate in the future!

 

[shlindz]

I'm totally gonna keep that in mind for next time. It deffinatly does work. I was just so shocked.

 

[cazd]

oh no! I got all excited for you there - with the new cammo bedding - oh what a shame.
Well - like you say - there'll always be more.

 

[shlindz]

Hi Caz! How ya doing? We haven't seen a lot of you lately. I have been stalking your chart though.
I'm so fascinated by eveyone's charts. They are all so different.

 

[shlindz]

Well here's mother natures cruel irony. AF is here. Instead of waiting 10 days after the last provera pills like last time. It shows up in only 3 days. I guess that means things might be starting to work themselves out in there? Either way here's the clincher. I have to call the Fertility Centre and book an appointment for Monday morning, but they closed at 3. Ugh! And DH and I have Army training this weekend so I won't be able to try and call another office. So I'v got my Aunt calling for me. lol If she can't get a hold of anybody and make an appointment for us DH and I are just gonna show up at the Fertility Centre on Monday morning and hope they can fit us in. I want my Clomid!!! Hahaha. Yay! I finally feel like I'm back in Wait for me Tysonme...I'm coming to first tri soon!......And I'm dragging Caz and Nichub with me!!!

 

[TySonNMe]

LoL I'm waiting! First tri is boring without any of my BnB buddies over there. So you just need to pop in to pick up your prescription? Surely they can make 5 minutes for that? Fx for you hun!

 

[Kelly9]

Take them all with you!!!!! I hope you get your meds!

 

[cazd]

oh no! the slag bag got you!
So can you take the clomid now or is it too late?

 

[Kelly9]

Cazd you've decided to do icsi? When did this happen?

 

[shlindz]

Yay finally home sweet home. Brutal weekend of sleep deprivation and physical torture...I mean training. lol
Slag bag still here but it's not too late for the Clomid yet. Gonna pop into the docs office unannounced tomorrow morning. Hopefully all goes well.

Caz, what is ICIS?

 

[Kelly9]

ICSI is IVF (Invitro fertilization with itracytoplasmis sperm injection) So basically with IVF you take drugs to produce lots of eggs then they remove those eggs from your ovaries and fertilize them in a dish with partners sperm. Thats the basic IVF. ICSI includes one more step, instead of letting the sperm fertilize the eggs in the dish on their own with ICSI the docs take one sperm at a time and fertilize each egg individually (it's normally used with male factor infertility). I hope you don't mind me explaining but thats what we were on the wait list for when we happened to fall pregnant.

 

[TySonNMe]

Fx for you cazd!

Hope you get the magic baby pills today shlindz!! I am so excited for you this month!!
