Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[HWPG]

thanks ladies - i hope you're all right, that i know my body and the smiley is still coming, because if i did ov and us not having sex for 9 days - that would REALLY piss me off. also, just had lunch with a old gf (she used to work with us but stopped working to be a SAHM when her son was born) told us she's pregnant - oh yay! (blech) and i cant breathe thru my nose due to my cold, so add that to the list of irritations. wow, i am a ball of cheerful goodness! ha!

why can't you save the posit for a house and get a medical credit card and make payments every month? Then you can have both things which are very important.

 

[lsmarie143]

congrats ismarie! every new comer seems to get a bfp on our thread.... your lucky.

mirolee--only you know your body, give it a few more days and i'm sure you'll see that smiley face.

rach-glad she finally came, time for a new cycle and christmas miracle and blessing!

laura-maybe when you move you can meet the criteria there? anyways, your journey is beginning and it will be yuor time before you know it, even if you have to pay for it!

I am testing tomorrow morning. Walmart did not have any first response tests or cb digital which i like....so i got a cheap answer test brand. Hubby left this morning, so just me and the girls. In a way I don't want to test in the morning...i shouldn't have bought tests, cuz from previous months, I am so let down by my body from seeing bfn's for so long.... i am cd28, 9 or 10dpo today...my luteal phase for MONTHS has only been 12, so expecting af sunday or monday. I should get a positive in the morning if i am. I will let you guys know, don't worry.

Thank you! I test with a cheap walmart brand and it came out negative. Test this morning which is the next day with a First response and it was faintly positive. Testing again Sunday morning.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

I love first response, but they were all out! I'm sure even with this answer brand, it should give me a positive if i am. I don't think it's too early...but i really wish I had a first response. We will see.

 

[laustiredttc]

im not sure they do payment plans here hun. Kind of all or nothing, but you might be right will have to look it up properly.

Mirolee i know thats instinctivley what i thought hope you start to feel better soon hun

 

[HWPG]

GL heather! excited for you!

 

[laustiredttc]

yes much much good luck heather, praying for you and keeping fx and sending you lots of pos mental vibes

 

[laustiredttc]

oh 13dpo and think the stupid is just about to fly in. F'ing hate her with a vengence

 

[HWPG]

I'm headed away overnight. No smiley yet... Tonight? Tomorrow? GL girls, keep us posted!

 

[laustiredttc]

hope you have a nice time mirolee wherever your off to

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

tested at 2am cuz i had to get up and help my little one go pee and put her back to bed and i couldn't go back to sleep because i had to pee ( was held for about 6 hours?) but it was negative to me. I wish I had a first response to test with but oh well. Guess I am not going to have any more kids. I'm ok with that.

 

[laustiredttc]

oh heather im really really sorry sweetie. I wish i was there to give you a real one but sending you lots of metal ones

af got me tonight, oh well onto cycle 17, whoopdie dooooooo

 

[Brayr08]

I'm sorry Heather. Has AF showed up yet? I'm glad that you are content with whatever happens. So will you go back on birth control or is it going to be a not trying, but not preventing thing?

Laura, I'm sorry the witch got you. I'm on CD4, so you aren't too far behind me. It's going to be weird being on the same schedule as someone else. I guess with my crazy cycles is was bound to happen eventually.

Mirolee, any smiley yet?

I have decided that I am only going to start temping at CD 10 until whenever I get my shift. All it does is confuse the heck out of me and I don't think the meds I'm on make it very reliable for anything other than knowing when I Oed anyways. I'm pretty excited that if it doesn't work this cycle I can go back to the shots and do the IUI. It is way more expsenive ($20.00 a month vs $600.00), but it's less stressful too. I don't have to worry about if I actually Oed, I don't have to worry about if we did it the right amount of times on the right days. I get a smiley on my OPK or I have at least 1 good sized follicle, I take a shot to induce ovulation and then the next day, I go in and they insert millions of good sperm right where they need to be. I honestly think it worked last time, but had a chemical. I am hoping a spermy catches an egg this month so I don't have to go through all of that (b/c it is harder emotionaly on me when I get that BFN), but if it doesn't, at least I know we can do MORE.

Anyways, hope you girls have had a nice weekend so far. I had WAY too much to drink Friday night (but had a blast, so it was worth it) and paid for it, pretty much ALL day yesterday. I very rarely do that, so I guess it's not so bad. I think we're going to get our Christmas tree today. Which will be weird since it's supposed to be like 60 degrees...in frick'n Michigan...in December.

 

[laustiredttc]

hey rach its all sounding good hun, the iui esp im looking forward to moving so i can put all my xmas decs up

i thought af came yesterday, pink in cm then nothing and only bit of pink today as well. wth, is going on? i had few cramps today but now they have gone. I dont think im preg though coz my temp dropped to coverline this morning 97.90 so who knows what is going on with this body of mine!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

took another test this am (bfn) and afterwards when i wiped there was a little pink so haven't started officially but pretty sure she is on her way. Started going through my littlest daughters clothes...i am tired of hoarding away all of her and her older sisters clothes waiting to see if I'm gonna have another girl or not. Getting rid of a lot, either selling on ebay or saving to sell in yard sales. Told hubby and he asked me why...i guess we might not officially be giving up trying...but i am so confused because I want another but i love spoiling my 2 girls now with nice things, clothes, etc....and want to be able to do more with them, taking them places....it's such a hard decision. I told hubby we would talk about when he came back home. Maybe instead of actually trying, (like everyday) we will just do it on the 2 best days to when he has off and not even bother ondays he works? I don't know, but for now I have a little time to think about it.

Rach-great idea on trying iui again....it def should work this time if not pregnant by the end of this cycle!

Laura-I love Christmas... good luck moving and hopefully the Christmas spirit brings you some good luck this month (this cycle)...what is the next step for you anyways?

Mirolee-hope you had a good weekend. Did you get your pos opk yet? If not, remember I know you have O at 19dpo before, maybe later? Just don't give up yet!

and to all!

 

[laustiredttc]

Heather, your such an amazingly strong person and throughout this journey you have been an amazing champion of positive thinking I think what your saying is right hun, just enjoy your beautiful family and let nature take over.

When we move i am going to see if we qualify for assisted conception in that area if not then we will fund it ourself. Difference is though, on the nhs we get three fresh cycles and if we fund ourself we only get one. But we shall see what the new year brings. New house, new career for hubby and hopefully new there is lots to look forward to

This morning though the reared her ugly head with a devilish vendetta. Oh holy moly, it was by far THE worst period pain i have ever experienced. This is extreme TMI so sorry if i upset, offend or make anyone ill.

I was like, projectile vomitting into the toilet, swivelling round then had the worst diarrhea imaginable, my hubbs before he set off for work had to get me a bowl to throw up into. And the pains, oh jesus, i cant describe them, there are no words for it but just HORRIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know i sound melodramatic girls but seriously i thought my life was ending. I had these horrid cold sweats and kept feeling like i was going to pass out. In the end i just lied down in the shower with the hot water on full blast. I thought all of this was over with the op but i guess im just one of thos people who will always have bad periods Sorry it was long just had to get it out ya know. (pardon the pun)

 

[HWPG]

hi ladies! lots to catch up on.
heather, i second everything laura said - your positivity (i'm not sure that is a real word) has def cheered me up in some serious sad moments, and your level-headed approach to the world keeps us all grounded. in the end, i know you will do exactly what is right for you and your family.
laus, i know EXACTLY what you mean re: period pains. i have vivid memories of the scenario you're describing, and even now, at the first sight of blood, i take ibruprofen to help alleviate the on-coming torture. i wonder if the procedure "loosened" stuff up and maybe it wont be so bad after this cycle.... ?? one can hope!
bray, i see exactly what you are saying. i temp every other day until day 12 or so, then start everyday, just to get a "baseline". i hope you dont have to go to IUI again and this is it, but at least you have a plan, yay!
afm, cd19 today. still have neg opks, but i'm being patient. my temp has come back down, so i def think i was running a low grade fever last week. still fighting this cold, but i can breathe thru my nose again because it has moved south into my chest/throat (hurray!). still "fighting" with OH about DTD vs his ankle. grrrrr. had a nice wkd with my girls, told them we were trying, they are all very excited and supportive - one girl in our group (the only one to have a baby yet, not the one who is preg right now) said it took her 10 months. so - deep breath - cycle 6 - i still have a good life, a good man, a good job. what i really need to do is focus on the 30948 events that are happening in december - i'm tired just *looking* at my calendar!
hugs to you all! how are the other new ladies? Ladyinwait? Mosha? and i think Ismarie was going to post a pic... ??

 

[LadyinWait]

Hi HWPG,

It's funny, I said I wasn't going to be on here very much but the truth, I just didn't log in. I am sorry about all of the BFN's, I know how difficult it can be. Keep your head up everyone and I know it can be hard but think about all of the great things in your lives.

I am just waiting now.... I believe I am 8 DPO and I think I am going to test on Friday. DH is out of town this week so I am praying that I can give him some awesome news when he gets back home. I thought I had so many symptoms and now I am not even sure but then again I felt like I was having symptoms and AF showed up. I have been nauseous, dizzy, crampy, and I keep having these crazy dreams. The first three are pretty typical.

Praying for you all and to everyone!! Even if I am not logged in, I am definitely lurking .

 

[laustiredttc]

hey mirolee, i know next time i am going to arm myself, that was just traumatic keeping fx you get your pos opk soon. Glad you had a nice time with the girls and dont worry about oh, his ankle will heal soon enough and you guys can get back into the swing of things.
Dh got his exams tomorrow and wed so just praying, hoping, wishing he passes all of them, he deserves this soooo much!!

howz things rach?

lady, the symps do sound good hun so hoping you get your soon

 

[laustiredttc]

oh got some hopeful news today as well. The fs secretary called me today and whilst she cant get my notes to me till next week, so sent to new house. I did ask her what my fsh was, its 6.4 which means under the new criteria for where we are going, we qualify for assisted conception as there requirement is 15 and under, whooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hopefully if all goes according to plan, next year will be the biggy fx
