Wow! We'll then we can buddy up for next month and try to make some babies together:hugs: !! We'll not together together but you know what I mean..:rofl:....
 
:haha: I get ya.. Sure I'd love to be your ttc buddy.. :thumbup:
 
Isn't that gettng pregnant book by Zita West? I only ask as I was thinking of buying it myself.

I don't think so, its by a male doctor I believe. Its packed so I can't go look lol

Thyroid has been checked in Jan.. all bloods, adrenals, etc. All normal ..

I am trying not to. I thought for sure that a doctor would assist me. I have seen 5 people in the past 2 months.. 3 in the past 3 weeks.

Sorry I forgot to mention my book is called getting pregnant I forget who its by though, I'll have to get back to you on thursday after I'm unpacked and have internet again.

Okay:) I understand I am packing myself. I just moved yesterday:sleep:

LOL I hate packing and I'm glad I never have to do it again, well for as long as I like but next time I'll give myself more time

Glad you had a great time Foxy, you very much deserved it!!

Ultrasound went well. Lining is nice and thick at 12mm, I guess 8 is considered good so I think my acupuncture is doing it's thing and the Clomid doesn't seem to have hurt things in that department.

Took them a while to find my follicles but eventually located the dominant one on the left side. Looks like it's around 18mm (I forget exact size) and he said it's looking good. They continue to grow about 2mm/day so I should ovulate in the next 2-3 days if all goes well.

No guarantees of course but at least I know we have a real shot this month. Told me to keep up the Clomid for another 4 cycles (if needed) and then to come back if not preg by that time. Also when I do get my BFP will go back and determine if progesterone or other support is needed to maintain pregnancy. Was very pleased that he brought that up on his own as I was wondering if I should go on it as a preventative measure due to previous losses.

So now DH and I need to get down to some baby making sessions over the next few days!!

That's brilliant, glad it went well. Sounds like you've got a good doctor there! Fingers crossed for BFP v soon!

Shannon I am so sorry your cycle is still a mess. I really don't know what to suggest. I would hope a fertility specialist could help but understand that it's exhausting going from one doc to another. How did the move go? We're trying to sell our flat and move to a house but I've been here 12 years so dreading the actual packing and moving!!!
Sweetmama don't think we've chatted yet but I hope your move goes well!

Another book suggestion is The Fertility Plan (Sami David and Jill Blakeway), another one combining western medicine and holistic therapies.
My acu suggested it and I read it compulsively! Also read The Fertility Diet (Sarah Dobbyn) was a bit too restrictive for my liking, a bit too OTT. Not read the Zita West one Shazza talks about, need to see if they have it in the library (one good thing about living in the capital of Scotland, we have a great selection of books in the libraries! Not looking forward to discovering what the libraries are like where we plan to move to)
Off to drop off DH's second sample for SA, they open for one hour only!


Thank you! I hope so too.

:haha: I get ya.. Sure I'd love to be your ttc buddy.. :thumbup:

Sorry mama, I hope she stays away though.
 
Thanks girls..I'm ok with it tho..I am looking at it this way..my ob wanted me to wait until I had a "normal" cycle..and there are a couple things I'd like to do before getting pg like some big time spring cleaning in my shed and the garage..all tho I may or may not get to the shed and garage before the end of next cycle and maybe a bfp..I will have that normal cycle my ob wanted out of the way.
 
AF got me today:( It's okay though...this was my first month charting so now I know better how my body is working. Good luck to everyone still waiting for their BFP's!! This will be my month and I'll get a New Years Baby!!

hi fifi, how are you feeling dear?

I will have to look into that book. I just moved so I do not know what the library has lol Id rather purchase then get from library I dont seem to take them back on time:dohh: I only lived in my other place since AUgust and let me tell there were a lot of things that we collected! So moving after that long I ber you have collected a lot of things. Maybe a new place will be like a breath of fresh air .. It is here! :hugs:
 
Bernina!! FX and have some fun tying to make that sticky bean!!!

Shannon- I am so sorry but dont give up! Keep digging for that piece of truth that will make your dream come true..

My temp is dropping so I expect the witch shall fly in tomorrow.. :( At least I will have one night in Vegas without her..:)

We leave this afternoon!! So I will be gone a few days during the uneventful part of my cycle anyways....

Sahrene

Thanks. I am trying...

Enjoy Vegas.. Your chart still looks awesome:)
 
Thanks for the well wishes everyone!

Shannon, hope that you're able to find some useful information in the book. Really helped me to get another perspective on things and learn that many fertility issues can be corrected with the right knowledge and of course time. My temps have been all over the place. I know I'm pre ov but usually they start to level out a few days before I ovulate. How did the move go, did you move far or in the same town?

Sweetmama, is this the book you have?
Getting Pregnant: What Couples Need To Know Right Now by Niels H. Lauersen and Colette Bouchez

Fifi, how dare you leave my absolute favorite city in the world??! Just kidding, hope you have luck selling your place, where are you going to move, just outside the city or will you be moving to a different area entirely?

JB3, great quote from the book, gave me goosebumps just re-reading it, it is so very very true and I don't think anyone can appreciate as much as we all can. Really hope you get some good information from the book, I know I did.

Sahrene, have a GREAT time in Vegas and don't leave a forwarding address for the witch, if she can't find you she can't get you :)

Nicole, hope the witch doesn't find you either, just do what little kids do, close your eyes put your fingers in your ears and say la la la la la I can't hear or see you :)

Stephmkc, sorry she got you, but very glad you have your first chart under your belt. Just looked at your chart and you have a text book perfect cycle, I am so jealous!!!

Just have to share a little story. My fertility DR had a new DR perform the vaginal ultrasound. So she stuck in it and moved things around for like a minute and could not find my uterus. I was so scared thinking oh no did he cut the whole thing out and not just the septum! Finally my DR takes over the machine and says "I know it's in here, I've seen it before!" and it still took him a few minutes to find it. I was shaking at that point wondering what the heck had happened to my uterus! Then they had to shove that thing in there so far to find the ovary that had a good sized follicle, my insides feel like someone shoved their fist up there and did a few rounds on a punching bag! All for a good cause though.
 
:hugs: Nicole

I'd say we are all due BFP's this cycle, wouldn't you! :4
 
Rebecca Thank you honey!!

Callie Thank you..I was thinking so also until yesterday or maybe it was the day before when I started getting my normal mild lower belly pressure I get just before she gets me lol

I went out and got my opks so I'm ready for this cycle lol
 
Bernina, I'm sure it had to be pretty scary there for a moment there.
Hope your insides feel better soon. :flower:

Nicole & Stehp sorry AF got you hun. :hugs:

Foxy, glad you had fun at the show! :thumbup:

There's a rumor going around that Sahrene & Nicole are going
to make babies.... together!! :rofl:


Anywhoo... Im in the 2WW now and the rest is much needed!!
I was surprised we got so much BD'ing in as DH was so sick last weekend.
He recovered without a hitch... and put a real hurting on me!! lol :haha:
Going for my 21 day blood work on Thurs.... keeping FX'd everything looks okay!
