Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[Brayr08]

You didn't let me down. I wish I could be that strong! I had a BFN this morning. Bummer...Little depressing. Oh well. I'm only 10DPO, but feeling out now.

 

[HWPG]

still got time....!!!

 

[HWPG]

hi gals. i'm depressed. starting to get some pink when i wipe (sorry if that's tmi/gross). celebrating first family christmas tonight and instead would like to crawl into a hole. 11dpo. sister is rubbing her pregnant belly (not intentional). people keep talking about how "next christmas with the new baby" is going to be. FML.
Merry Christmas to YOU guys, though!

 

[Brayr08]

I'm glad I'm not the only one depressed! Being around my SIL is so tough right now. I took another test this morning at 12DPO and BFN. Grrrr...I left my meds at DH grandparents house (they live about 30 minutes away) so I've been expecting AF to arrive any time. It's weird though, this morning when I got out of bed, it felt like I peed my pants. I was sure I had started my period. Nope, just a ton of CM. Not gonna lie, that got me a little hopeful, until, of course, I took the pregnancy test. Whatever. Just glad next month I get to do another IUI.
Mirolee, I really hope the pink doesn't mean AF. Good luck to you girlie. If I don't get on after this, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.

 

[HWPG]

and to you! hope the exceptional CM is a great sign! (bah ha, i have never said that to anyone before! )

 

[Brayr08]

Merry Christmas everyone! No AF yet. Yey! I hope you all have a great day!

 

[HWPG]

yay Bray, AF stay away!
afm, it's still coming.... probably cd1 wednesday or thursday. not a very merry christmas, but not trying to being you guys down. i still have plenty to be thankful for.

 

[Brayr08]

hey mirolee! Is AF a no show today? She hasn't shown her ugly face here yet... which could have something to do w/my meds. Last month i started that nasty brown spotting at CD 29 (which would be tomorrow). so if i don't start that by Friday, I'll test again. If it does start, I'll hold of until CD35. Blah...I hope she stays away from both of us.

 

[HWPG]

Hi! Cd1 for me. Best christmas ever, not. Period, flu, pregnant sister. I can't even be that sad, cause I knew it wasn't going to happen, even though we did try our best. Oh well, onto the next cycle (I seriously shouldn't even complain, sorry gals).
Rach, I really have my fx for you!

 

[Brayr08]

Complain away woman! We're here for you! I still haven't started spotting yet, but I feel like I could start at any moment.
Oh, so last night was our last Christmas event & DH's only cousin announces that him and his g/f are expecting. That put me in a sour mood the rest of the night. Not that I'm not happy for them, they've been together for a few years, I'm just sad for me. DH was really sweet after that. I'm glad that he has been so supportive lately.

 

[HWPG]

Rach, did you rub up on him/her, looking for some fertile mojo? Sorry for *another* announcement. Hope af stays away!

 

[Brayr08]

Well, BFN again this morning at 16DPO, so I am out. I think I'm going to keep taking my meds to keep my period away until probably Monday or Tuesday so that everything will start in the new year. I'm ready to get started. I don't want to pay anything until after the 1st of the year.

laus, sniz, how's things going girls?

 

[laustiredttc]

hey ladies, merry xmas. mirolee sorry af came hun, good luck for this cycle. Rach, i know what youmean bout the announcement. Bro and his g/f had their little girl the 22nd. she cute but still makes me feel like crap.

Think this might be a funny month for me, coz i didnt O, thinking maybe this might be a long cycle. Got a docs app with new docs on 11th so hopefully get the ball rolling with ivf.

on the pos side went for my first run in a little while today and felt quite good afterwards so doing the same tomorrow. Also starting acupuncture in the new year and looking forward to doing it.

Hope you are all well girls

 

[HWPG]

Hi gals. Had fever and horrible horrible cramps yesterday, with super heavy flow, yay I'm so lucky! today still not 100%, at home on couch with tea and medicine. I'm fortunate to have this whole week off. Rach, sorry you feel out. I'd do the same thing by holding off until mon/tues. laus, GL with new doc. I just came off a long cycle, and know this cycle will be also, due to mt flu now. It's amazing how well you learn the ins and out of your body. Heather, your FB post was lovely, but I didn't want to comment there. Your loyalty and support this year has been so valuable.
Happy new year, my friends. Not sure what 2013 will bring. I realized that if I don't get preggers in a snap, I'll be into 2014 with a birthdate, as well as almost 32 when it happens (along with many other realizations). I'm coming to terms with all this in my mind, all while my sister gets her nursery ready, plans a baby shower, ppl talk about how next years holidays will be, etc. truly not trying to be a bummer, looks like I need to get my journal out! Hugs to each of you. Best wishes for the next year

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

HI!!! Haven't read everything, but from what I did get to, congrats to Wanting! Lucky gal, you! Happy and healthy 9 months!
Rach-very sorry you got a bfn. 2013 is a new year, it has to be it for you very soon! Laus-can't wait for you to get the ball rolling ivf, have very good feeling about it for you. 2013 is your year also!
Hw-sorry for you being sick. Hopefully you get better asap and if not preggo this cycle, 2013 a new year for you and new cycle and you'll be 100% ttc.
I am cd30 today...i started spotting the first day of the month, i know i was sick in this cycle and i think we dtd 2 times when he was off when I thought I would O....but probably being on the antibiotic, etc....makes me think I didn't have a chance this month? have you guys ever heard of someone being sick and on medicine and getting preggo that cycle? I don't know when or if I O but usually you gals know I have 26-28 day cycles. Probly being sick threw my O off and I'm just gonna have a longer cycle? AND not lastnight, but the night before I had a dream my grandpa was sick or dying I can't exactly remember it was right before I woke.....and lastnight, I had a dream I saw 2 lines on an hpt and I was pregnant and it was my last cycle that we were gonna try. It was so amazing, I didn't wanna wake up. I'll check in with you guys soon. I kinda hope af don't show.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

ehh...kinda starting to get some very little specks of brownish mucus...she is probly on her way. kinda bummed....

 

[laustiredttc]

hi ladies, hey heather hope you and the family had a lovely xmas. Bummer on the dream about your nan but the other sounds great! here's hoping that it becomes a reality hun fx.
mirolee sorry your feeling poorly huni, keep ya kchin up girl, i know 2013 will be a good one for all of us!!!!

happy new year ladies, may 2013 bring you all lots of luck and

 

[Brayr08]

Laus-I am so excited for you to start IVF! I'm really interested in hearing step by step what you have to do. I'm afraid that may be in my near future (unfortunetly).
HW-So, have you considered seeing a specialist? Or are you going to wait until you've been actively trying for a year?
Mama-Did you finally start your period? I hate dreams about getting my pos test or dreams about my non exsistent children. I just wake up depressed and usually crying.
ASFM-Stopped taking my period preventing meds yesterday, so AF should be here eiter today or tomorrow. I've been spotting and crampy this afternoon, so she should be here any time. I should start my injections this weekend, so that's kind of exciting. Hoping this is it for us. Next month will be 3 1/2 years of trying. Man that's depressing.

 

[HWPG]

hi ladies!
i think i'm cd8 or so. feeling calm today, which is nice. going to continue temping (starting ~cd11) and doing opks, having sex regularly, but going to actively try to bring the romance back into ttc and dial down the miro-crazy. we are starting cycle 7, and have made a joint decision to wait until after cycle 9 (march timeframe) to pursue other tests, starting with SA. in my past infertility tests, i checked out ok, so i really want to believe we're just one of those "normal" couples that takes an average amount of time (regardless of if this is true or not, i'm holding tight onto it for 3 more cycles!). i'm feeling very peaceful about 2013 as a whole, and repeating the deep breath in- deep breath out calming activity.
laura, rachel, and heather, i will be eagerly stalking your journey/paths, wherever they take you. the last few months have been tough, and it's been crazy good for me to be able to come on here and let it out (otherwise i'm not sure i would have friends any more in real life). please pop on and update us!!!!

 

[Brayr08]

So AF finally arrived yesterday. So tomorrow I go in for an internal untlrasound (so gross on CD3) and I'll start my injections also. I'll do them CD3-7, then I'll go back in on CD8 for another ultrasound and they'll test my blood for estrogen (I think). I'll probably have my IUI anywhere from CD10-14. Oh it feels so good to be doing this again!
