International bumps to be!

[mzswizz]

I totally agree. DH and i DTD just for fun and now our relationship is 100 times better. It feels like we are how we use to be 5 yrs ago when we first started dating. We spend wayyy more quality time together now by dancing talking laughing smiling etc. I know good will come out of this. July 25th is our 2 yr wedding anniversary so hoping we get blessed with a baby or babies by then but im not picky

I have a good feeling about JUNE this month for some reason. I hope it's filled with BFPs for everybody!!!

It is soooo beautiful outside today, and I'm stuck indoors taking Xrays [I don't even get a window to the outside world] I keep sneaking off into the break room to look at the ocean [the view from my clinic is amazing] I can see fluffy white clouds, and turquoise seas. I wish I was at the beach right now. lol

 

[stuckinoki]

*ah*
Ladies, I'm freaking out.
My US is tomorrow and I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. I keep going back and forth between being crazy anxious and really excited.

I really want to have a couple good follicles ready and be able to get my trigger...but I'm terrified because DH leaves this weekend that there's going to be too many follicles and the doc won't give me a trigger or the follicles won't be big enough.

Seriously starting to freak a little bit.

For some reason this cycle seems different, it's also way more important to me than usual. I don't want any more disappointment

Hi ladies

Love the banner! The union jack is actually a combination of England, Ireland and Scotland flags - we do have our own flag - the St Andrew's cross, or the saltire. Can anyone tell me how to add the banner to my sig?

Madrid - well done on the dieting - its tough isn't it? and good luck with the exams

mzswizz - glad af finally took the hint - and hope you and hubby having celebrating her departure

Hena - bet you were delighted to see hubby - hope you celebrated too

stuckinoki - good luck for tomorrow - i can totally imagine the emotions being all over the place before hand. Excuse my ignorance but are you having IUI or ? sorry am so ignorant about fertility treatments...


afm - still full of cold/flu - the wedding on Friday went brilliantly - the sun shone, the bride was gorgeous & everything went according to plan. it was a real highland wedding, all our menfolk in kilts, ceilidh music and dancing at night. the couple had a big bbq yest too so today am totally shattered! i woke on Friday with a cold sore - not what i wanted as a bridesmaid - managed to hide it best i could - but woke with another yesterday so i am a bit of a phsyical wreck - going to live sooo quietly from now on... tonight i need to work on dh for some bd tho lol...

 

[stuckinoki]

Nope. No IUI yet. We did a 100mg clomid cycle but my DH is leaving on exercise before I ripen so I need to trigger ovulation this cycle while he's still here

Hi ladies!!

It's understandable you're so nervous stuckinoki. I'd be if I was you. Hope you can have it all sorted before he leaves.

Rjsman welcome back!! You've had a busy weekend I can see. Now relax and back to ttc again.

I did an opk this morning and it was very + so I'm going for it tonight. That's the only time we can with children I'm afraid. lol

I'm very excited because it seems the soy has worked as I'm O sooner that I've expected.

Hena & mzswizz must be busy!!! No posts today?!?!?!

Hello ladies. Wonderful evening and woke up to a wonderful day. DTD last night with DH and now just resting. Tomorrow we have to go to our niece's graduation so we are just spending time together today by relaxing, especially seeing that DH worked overtime last week so he is feeling the effects on his body. How is everyone doing today?

 

[Madrid98]

mzswizz enjoy his day off and the graduation tomorrow.

Tested angain at my usual time late afternoon and I got a and a + in the strips as well. So I wasn't dreaming this morning!!!

[Hena]

WooHooooo Madrid! Have fun tonight!!!! hehe

Stuckinoki BIG to you, I would be feeling just the same way. Try and focus on your DH and how much you love him and not on what's going to happen tomorrow. There's nothing you can do to control it one way or another anyway.

rjsmam, good to see you back! I hope that darn cold goes soon, what a pain! I hope your nose wasn't red in the wedding pics. You can get the banner by hitting quote on the very first post in this thread, highlight and copy the link and paste it in your sig.

mzswizz, it sounds like you're loving being in love!!! It's fantastic, isn't it?

I'm off now to...um.... spend time with hubby have a beautiful evening ladies!!!

 

[mzswizz]

Nice to see everyone is enjoying their day today. DH and i DTD earlier so i am just having fun while he is off. I just have a good feeling about this new change.

 

[stuckinoki]

I made brownies for breakfast and now I'm going to slowly start thinking about getting dressed I'm full of brownies and not moving very quickly this morning!

 

[stuckinoki]

Back from the Doctors office:
I have 5 follicles. One is 15mm, the other 4 are under 6mm.
The hospital does not do HCG trigger shots, or any kind of ovulation shot at all...for that I'd have to go to the IUI place, and at the IUI place they wouldn't want to do the clomid rounds, they'd jump straight into IUI which DH has made abundantly clear that he doesn't want to pay for yet :/

I'm heartbroken.
So IUI is the only way I can control when I ovulate.
DH leaves Sunday morning, I'll be 17dpo, I didn't O last month until CD20.

So, I'm out this month.
I'm freaking despondent about it too.
I hate TTC.

 

[Hena]

I'm so sorry stuckinoki! I can't believe they wouldn't give you a shot!

Please don't give up though, you have follicles, and 15mm is really good, right? And you're doing mucinex to help the swimmers swim, AND can survive for a few days (I've read up to 5, my doc told me 3) inside of you. I know it's not what you had hoped for, but you can continue to bd until your dh goes, hope one of the little guys make it, and then spend some time researching other possibilities where you are for the coming month in case you don't catch this egg.

 

[stuckinoki]

Thanks Hena; I just had such high hopes for this cycle.

It's not that they won't give it to me, it's that they can't give it to me. My RE took on my case out of special interest [I'm very lucky] so the service that he is providing me is out of the goodness of his heart, as they would usually make me go out in town and pay out of pocket for treatment. Long story short, the hospital itself doesn't even carry HCG ...and DH won't pay for out in town treatment.

Sorry, I'm just really frustrated right now.

I'm trying to calculate if I *might* O earlier since my last day of Clomid this month was CD6 instead of CD9....I don't know if that makes any difference though?

 

[rjsmam]

stuckinoki - so sorry honey. how v frustrating.. isnt there a natural supplement that brings o forward - soy isoflavones or something?? i will have a hunt....

glad the rest of you ladies are enjoying oh's too... we managed another bd last night which i hope is well timed - i really can't tell as my temps have been all over. my temp dipped today but i think it's actually a normal temp with the other earlier temps being artificially high with sickness/etc... so I'm hoping it goes up again tomorrow indicating OV today - that would right wouldn't it? having cramps today - not sure if related to last night or ov....

xx

 

[stuckinoki]

Let me know if you hear of anything!

I've been told that you typically ovulate like 10 days after your last dose of clomid; if this is true, we might still have a chance because I'd be Oing the day after he leaves.

Also, OPKs, the test line gets darker leading up to ovulation, right? [does anybody know?] I had a pretty dark [definitely not positive, but still] line on the test side. I'm hoping that it means that we're getting close.

I shouldn't be so bummed about it, and I know it's not over until it's over but I'm just having a sad day :/ My friend back home called today and she just had a blighted ovum at 4 months...I can't imagine going 4 months into a pregnancy only to find that there's no baby growing! Poor girl. I feel awful for her. They weren't TTC so she's not too beat up about it but still I can't imagine.

I'm having a bottle of wine right now and feeling sorry for myself. ha ha ha

Enough about my problems, what's going on with you ladies?

 

[Madrid98]

Hi ladies!!!

Just having lunch and reading your posts while I take a break from revising.

So sorry stuckinoki but if your opk's have a visible line it means it won't be long before you O. I was having very faint ones on Friday and Saturday and the positive yesterday, just 2 days after.
I've used soy this cycle to make my O happen sooner. You have to take it cd3 to cd7 instead of clomid. And is supposed to have the same effect.
Fx'd you O before he leaves.

rjsman you're just like me. We'll be testing around the same time I guess!!!

I did another opk just to see and it was lighter than yesterdays. So I guess I'm in the waiting zone now.

[rjsmam]

woop woop check out my new sig.... thanks Hena!!

hey madrid hope your revising going ok - i remembered we have the same cycles at the moment!! i'm hoping i'm ov-ing today - have cramps and pink cm but not sure if thats related to dtd! tmi sorry!!
i guess that makes us both in the tww!! what day do you think you ov'd?

xx

 

[mzswizz]

Stuckinoki-if i were you i would find something that would help boost ovulation and help the little spermies make it to the egg. Its not over yet. GL

How are the rest of you ladies today?


As for me, i noticed that ever since AF has stopped DH and I cant get enough of each other . Hopefully when it is around OV we dont be exhausted but then again who will turn down BDing . Today our niece is graduatin from pre-k to kindergarten. I tell you they grow up so fast. The graduation is later on in the evening so we can get a few rounds of BDing in. Operation Clayton is on time and in effect ROGER THAT today like every day is going to be a great day.

 

[stuckinoki]

Thanks ladies, you've made me feel a lot better

It's not even 7am, and it's already like 87 degrees with 100% humidity outside. I guess my poor doggies have to stay inside today while I'm at work, I don't want them to get heat stroke.

The only thing I've got is I bought a new kettle yesterday, It's neat looking and shiny red. <-----LOL, really...that's the best update I've got.

DH was too tired to BD last night, but then again I was too. He told me to wait up for him tonight; hopefully that means that he'll not be exhausted. I even wore a dress last night! I never wear dresses! lol

Oh well, I hope everybody is having a good day!
