~*~ Hoping for Our Special Stocking Stuffers! ~*~ December Testing: 7 BFP's, 1 angel

[garfie]

Older - Are you on any medication hun those temps look really good - now with the cramping - sounds good to me

Momof3 - I have to agree with sis on this one I have 2 boys - no idea where I was in my cycle but with the little one (see my sig) we had BD 4 days before O or 7 days after that month also I was the only one to produce boys for 3 generations - even though my xhubby (boys dad) had only ever had girls up until that point Also going back two generations (my nana) she had twins

Sweet - So sorry hun - we are creating some good short names in here - GTFO (get the f Off?) DPFO (Days Past Fake Ovulation) any more? we will need a new TTC dictionary all of our own

Terri - Don't worry about what she will be able to see - as any mama in here knows that you leave your dignity at the door when you have a baby it seems like everytime I went to the drs I was dropping my knickers the last time was for a sore throat only kidding

AFM - So I've been for my scan - in and out no messing - she started of abdominally but said she couldn't see my right ovary/tube.

She then did a transvaginal one and said hmmm that's a little bit clearer - I will send the results to your doctor you should hear in about 2-3 weeks haven't we got Christmas in between again?

So whilst I am not worried at my scan - I don't think it went as well as I hoped I do have endo so that's maybe attacked my Ovary/tube

So for now I'm trying to carry on regardless - will try and seduce hubby again this evening as I appear to have lots of EWCM (I'm sure it's not the gel) but still a barely there OPK

Not had a lot of luck with my seduction plan - he's to tired and to stressed

To answer your question, yes- cyclogest (it is a progesterone supp). I think it is helping my chart look a little nicer- and could be causing some of the symptoms. Probably not the cramping, though. Crap there I go getting optimistic again!

Good luck with your DH!!
Personally, I can't wait to get back to spontaneous BDing. All this TTCing messes with my mojo.

 

[oldermom1975]

Testing again tomorrow before I stop the progesterone. Much better prepared this time, hopefully . Hoping AF isn't a wretched hoar this new cycle . 'Cause really, as badly as I want a BFP, overall I want to GTFO of hormonal hell, ugh!

Here's to getting out of hormonal hell!

...three weeks??? That sucks! Is there anyone to pepper with calls so that you find out sooner?? At least they can read the notes from the specialist to you....

 

[moni77]

Found you all!!

Ok - if I take the shot tonight I should O on wednesday - so put me down for the 19th. I am debating taking the shot in the morning because hubby is out of town tomorrow night and so we will not be able to BD before wed night. Since it is unlikely to work naturally, should I just take it sooner (tonight) so AF comes sooner?

Nah, take it tomorrow morning and give hubby the time of his life on Wednesday!!!

 

[Sis4Us]

Moni did they give u a scan how big are your Follies???

I always start to O on my own so when I get a ++++ I take the shot that nite!!!

GL!!!

Is DH taking anything my DH started taking Supps and his numbers went up quite a bit!!

 

[moni77]

The "cyst" was 33 mm today (I think) the doctor didnt say but that is what I saw on the machine. He said there might be an egg hidden in there and to try naturally. I have had a high reading on the clear blue monitor since yesterday - CD7 - but no peak yet. I think I'll take the shot in the morning.
Sis - if I had gone online over the weekend, I could have sent you my clomid since I couldn't use it. I had filled the prescription before they told me not to take it. Sorry! Has the doctor called you today?

 

[MomOf3Girls]

Garfie ~ So sorry you have to wait so long to know your scan results.

Moni ~ GL!

Sis ~ I guess what I meant was that trying for a boy using shettles method was harder. In the past we would try for DAYS leading up to o day, which favors a girl in shettles method, and got girls. This time we're trying to abstain and not get too bd happy too soon before o so that we can try RIGHT before o. But, knowing when miss o will come exactly can be tricky, and sometimes I'm afraid of missing o altogether. Last cycle we timed it perfect, DTD then O'ed two hours later (a very, very painful o I might add - I thought miss egg was going to take my ovary along with her at release). But, bfn. Hopefully we can time it right again this cycle.

 

[MomOf3Girls]

So, I've been thinking for a few days now, and had an idea for the testing list. You guys let me know what you think. I'm loving all these cute Christmas smilies, and want to include them. So I was thinking as everyone starts to get a bfp (hopefully) or af (hopefully not) putting or to the right of the name. But then to the left of the name, a Christmas smiley like:

name
name
name

Or

name
name This one is throwing a snowball at witch.
name
Etc. . . .

Let me know what you think. You can either let me know what face you want when you get bfp or heaven forbid, af; or I can pick if you don't pick one.

 

[garfie]

Momof3 - I like it any of the first three for me

[Sis4Us]

Moni oh it was a Cyst yea I had to have a 34mm one drained a few months back!!

I had one on my right when I got scanned Wed which hasn't ever happened I don't think I got a strong o without the trigger and that's what causes them!!

I called the FS myself since they haven't called my nurse is still out so that's why no call and the other nurse just said well its to Late!!! Wtf!!!

I feel like once again they screwed me last time it was w the IUI now this!!

Not Happy

 

[ttcinseattle]

I think we need a for those of us who test BFN but don't have the witch yet, or maybe a smiley impatiently stamping her foot!!

Okay, I need a weigh in on HPTs. I'm currently sitting on 10 Wondfos (which I bought for the express purpose of early testing without wasting too much money) 2 FRERs (I wish I had 45!!!) and 2 Clear Blue Weeks Predictors which I will not be taking until I know I'm pregnant - that "Not Pregnant" is just way too insulting!

I'm wondering which I should use on Wednesday? I know I should use my Wondfos, but I also really want to use the most sensitive test since I'll be only 9dpo! What do you ladies think, are Wondfo as sensitive as FRER?

I got my first light positive last month at 12dpo with evening urine (that was a CP) so I'm hoping with FMU it will show up earlier, although not expecting anything at 9dpo, but I'll be testing every day from then

 

[MomOf3Girls]

Oh, sis, I am so so sorry to hear this! Why can't they start the Clomid a little later? I think it was ERose that said something about starting on cd 5 or 7 or something. Why do you have to start it on day 3? That nurse seems a little insensitive to me to respond like that.

 

[garfie]

ttc - Personally I use my cheapies (internet) from about 8DPO until 11DPO - then I use my best test 11DPO onwards (superdrug - UK) - I have a 11 day LP usually and finally my digi (if I'm lucky enough).

How long is your LP hun

Sis - they make you mad don't they BIG can you report her

Sorry, I'm not too helpful on this. I've never used a cheapie. Only ept with lines, ept digital and clearblue digital. I think I may have used frer with #1. Can't remember, that was 12 years ago. I think my memory is going with age.

Yep, I take mine cd5-9. Sis, did you happen to mention to the nurse that you're willing to do 5-9 if they're okay with it? In the other forum I hang out in, there are a couple other girls who take theirs 5-9, and some take theirs 3-7. I dont know what the deciding factor is for doctors, but it just seems to me that they'd let you do that if you wanted to, at least for one cycle..?

 

[ERosePW]

Oh, and I love the idea of the xmas smilies for the BFPs/AF! I'm okay with any, so just pick for me when it comes time.

 

[terripeachy]

I agree with the others Momof3Girls-Love the idea, but don't want to choose now. I guess it depends on my mood which one I will choose. You're very resourceful!

garfie-I know they have seen it all, but I guess I will just have to do it and get it overwith. I am always sweating like a pig when I normally go in. I have gotten a smidge better with this new doctor that I have, but *woo-wee* You would think that I was getting interrogated by homeland security or something, the way I sweat. I think that is TMI. HA!!HA!! I'll just close my eyes-and breathe. hee hee.

 

[Sis4Us]

My nurse not being there doesn't help those other nurses don't know Shit about me and my cycles!!!

Just Sux ..... Guess its for the best I have a ton going on not sure I can do scans and All that in the middle of DS Bday Closing packing and moving!!
