Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

Grrr...I am so frustrated. Where the heck is my period?! I'm spotting, but only when I wipe, nothing on my panty liner. I had major period cramps yesterday so I thought for sure she'd be here long before now. If I was pregnant, wouldn't they have been able to see something on my internal u/s yesterday? I would have 2-3 days late. So annoyed right now.

hangover really kicking in, i know self inflicted Ok now that i have gotten some of the petulant immaturity out of me again i'm going to grow up a bit and try to be more positive! Thankyou all for putting up with me the past few days.

Heather i'm really sorry huni our bodies play some awful tricks on us sometimes

Rach, i never thought i would say it but i hope the witch hurries up so you can start your iui.

Mirolee how is the clomid working for you hun? Is the mind control thing working?

TLK, how did the haircut go, do you like it? Forgive me if you have already posted on it.

ugh I'm the same way. I drink too much maybe once a year and then I have no desire to go past 2 drinks for ages lol I went super dark lol I'm naturally a dishwater blonde, but I usually do high/low lights so I look more of a light brown. But this is like a chocolate brown with peanut-butter highlights. I love it, except I have to shade in my eyebrows to match lol

They probably would not have seen anything on your u/s but now you should get a positive test. Maybe it's just a weird period? Sometimes I get weird ones if I've been stressing/eating different/exercising a lot.

tlk, you are so sweet and funny! i'm glad you joined this thread!
rach, i dont think they would be able to see anything, but not sure.... did they do bw also with your u/s? have you taken any tests, esp frer? maybe it is a slow starting period... have you had spotting in the past?

 

[Brayr08]

I really don't think I'm pregnant. They didn't do any blood work or anything. Normally, with the promitrium, I'll stop taking it, then no more than 2 days later, AF shows up. There might be red/pink spotting the day before and brown spotting before I even stop taking the meds. This cycle, no brown spotting at all and just the red spotting. I'm just afraid that this is going to be my period and that I should start my meds, but I'll just keep waiting and it'll be too late. I tried calling my FS, but they're closed. I might just grab HPT after work and take it in the morning. If it's a BFN, I'll start my meds tomorrow (unless I wake up to AF, then I'll start them on Sunday). Sorry ladies, I know you know as much as I do, but I'm just so frustrated and need to vent.

 

[HWPG]

rach! dont say sorry! we want to know whats going on with you! i'm hoping that one way or another, you know SOMETHING by tomorrow, and i'm hoping it's positive.

 

[laustiredttc]

bless Rach, vent vent vent away hun. our bodies really do like to play games on us, very unfair!! I say take a test tomorrow just to be on the safe side.

Tlk, that sounds lovely!! I would love to have the courage to change my colour completely. Have you ever had your eye brows dyed before, might be an easier way to go rather than pencilling them in each time? My friend had hers tattooed on but i'm not sure i recommend that lol.

 

[HWPG]

Tattooed? Yikes, that scares me...

 

[laustiredttc]

Yeah i know lol but she likes all that type of stuff. I prefer al natural, but hey thats just me. How you getting on with the clomid?

 

[HWPG]

I think the only true side effect I'm noticing from clomid are pimples. I hate them, and they drive me crazy, but I'll take that small effect! Counting my blessings!

 

[laustiredttc]

Ah that's not too bad and there could very well be a bfp at the end for you mirolee, looks like the mind trick is working

 

[Brayr08]

Mirolee, how many more days are you on clomid?

Where's everyone else at in their cycles?

I am on CD4 today. I started my letrozole on Saturday and I started my follistum injections yesterday. I go in on Friday for my first u/s to see how my follies are growing. I really hope I have 2-4 really good sized ones.

Oh! and my SIL had her baby yesterday. We drove (2 hours) up to see them. Sophie (my new niece) looks just like DH's brother. I got to hold her for a while and I tell ya, it has just strengthened my resolve to get pregnant. I didn't even cry. I wanted to a couple of times. Like when part of the hospital staff asked if it was my SIL's first child (she said yes) and her mom pipes in, "and the first grandbaby on each side". I know she didn't mean it in a rude way, but it felt like a slap in the face. BUT, I'm glad we went, I love her already.

 

[HWPG]

hi rach!
first, i'm glad you went and saw the baby. i love holding my new niece also, and i get the same resolve feeling.... but i still cry. more like leak. like i'm normal and then leaking from my eyes and then normal. ha. manic tears!
afm, i took my last dose last night. today starts every other day sex and opks. i've been feeling twingey (is that a word?) but i dont want to pysch myself up - it could be another 2 weeks before i ovulate! i'm hoping i'm in that "5-10 day" range though; that would be nice for once! so... heres to good sex and some good follicles for you and me! (wait, are you doing IUI this cycle or timed?)

 

[Brayr08]

Mirolee, I'd be absolutely shocked if you went more than a week without ovulating and I even think a week is strechting it. I would maybe wait to start taking your OPK's maybe tomorrow so you don't get a false positive. It's annoying how meds can mess with tests like that.
We're doing an IUI, but hey, I'm all for some good sex too.

 

[Brayr08]

Hi everyone, thought I'd break the silence. I went in for my ultrasound today and I have one follicle on my right ovary that's a 25, which is really good. Yey!!! So tomorrow we're doing our IUI. I was afraid that it might be way too early (I'll be CD9 tomorrow), but she said my lining looks great and the meds would help with making my egg good and ripe. Hoping everything goes perfectly tomorrow!

How's everyone else doing?

 

[HWPG]

bray, great news! will you do a trigger shot to release the egg?
i am cd14 and bored.... i want to feel things happening to my ovaries, but every time i'm like, "yes! a twinge!" the next moment is nothing. i dunno... i wish i could get them checked! good luck with the IUI! i'm hoping the nice weather holds out and i can do lots of fun things this wkd to not think about it. btw, i saw the pics of you holding the new baby.... and i hope it is both our turns VERY soon... because i know how you felt/what you were thinking. hugs! youre a great aunt!

 

[Brayr08]

I did my trigger at 10 this morning. I took an OPK this morning before I went to the doc and it was negitive, so I should be ovulating in the next 36 hours! I've been temping, so I should know for sure when it happens.

It stinks you can't be monitored yet. It's so nice knowing what's going on in there. You're taking OPK's at least though, right?

It WILL be our turns soon darn it!

 

[HWPG]

yep, opks every 12 hours. poas addict!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

hello to you all! rach-glad you have at least one good follie and I hope the iui went great! Really hope this is it for you Mirolee-hope you O very soon and the clomid helped move things along and turns out positive for you this time

afm-I am cd10 today...expecting to O cd14 or cd16. We are not trying so hard this mont ansd I'm only going to use preseed. We bd cd8...and hubby went back to work lastnight, so we won't again probly til his first night off which will be cd13 and then we will skip a day and bd again cd15. Hoping those 2 days, at least one, catches that egg. Thats it for me.

 

[Brayr08]

Hey girls! Hope everyone is having a good week so far! Mirolee, did you get your pos OPK yet?
Heather, that sounds like a nice relaxing plan. Good luck to ya girl!

My IUI went okay. I had to wait a frick'n hour and a half (this was after a 2 hour drive there and followed by a 2 hour drive home ) to finally get my procedure done. They brought DH in way before they did the procedure and the whole time I'm staring at the vile just imagining that I can see them dieing by the masses. His count was only 44 million the least he's ever had...by a lot...I know it's stupid, but I get so paranoid that they mixed up his swimmers w/someone elses....Anyways, when I got home I took a 2-3 hour nap and then just sat around all day. I'm just not feeling optimistic at all about this cycle. Especially since his numbers were so low. Anyway, I'm 2-3DPO today, so the earliest I'll test is Tuesday of next week.

 

[HWPG]

hi!
rach, i sure hope that your low feeling is just in your head - i so want this for you, so badly! a lot!
i got a positive on my ICs, but not on my digi smiley. diluted pee maybe? anyways, my temp SHOT up this morning, and since yesterday i've been very crampy (not too painful, but def there) and inflated - not really bloated, but expanded in my belly. it's kinda gross cause i keep trying to push my belly down, but it's hard. i dunno... whatever... i told OH it meant there were 7 eggs - he did not laugh so i'm probably 1 dpo - rach we are close!
