Hi
impatient, glad to hear from you again. Hope things are well in your neck of the woods.
Nikki, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!
I am so very very excited and thank you for providing the much needed BFP this thread has been missing. Happy Spring and a happy, healthy, and super sticky 9 mos!!!!
Fifi, sorry you had to deal with handling three preg announcements in one week. No matter how happy we are for the other people it's always hard to hear and to be around them and watch as they go through all these exciting changes. You're not alone and you will get your sticky BFP soon, I just know it. Sounds like you and I are very close to the same time of ovulation. I think my due date would be 12/23 IF I ovulate today and IF we conceived this cycle. I hate to even hope and wish for it, but it sure would be nice. Right around DH's bday too, and since first babies can come early could even fall on his day
I was born 1 day after my Dad's birthday and how cool would it be to have the same thing with our child. You had me cracking up talking about my wandering uterus
They had a very hard time with the ovaries also. With the amount of ultrasound time I've logged the past year they should have a detailed 3D map of my entire reproductive system! 15 miles outside town isn't so bad at all, I assume they have good public transportation to get you into the city? I actually think that could be the best of both worlds, a bigger house, some breathing room, but still so close to everything. I would have totally been turned off from the house with the mind map also, just kind of creepy and too close to home.
Shannon, I don't know about the flat temps (although did have a bunch of days in a row at the same temp during my birth control cycle, realize that doesn't help you at all though!) but I did also feel like my body was ramping up to ovulate a few times but nothing came of it. Not sure if it was the Clomid or the new herbs I was given to pull forward ovulation, but I would get all the signs (except ewcm) and one time I even noticed a bit of an LH surge on my monitor test sticks (not enough to register on the machine though) but nothing came of it. So while I have no answers, I can at least say I felt the same thing. Hopefully that means your body is gearing up to ovulate, but it may just take a few times until it actually releases that eggy. So def keep up with your BD'ing schedule
Helly, sorry to hear the chicken pox still have you. I had them in high school and it was miserable. Mild case but just looked like I had bad acne and I still have a deep pitted scar on my forehead. It was the first chicken pox to appear and I thought it was a zit and tried to pop it. What a mess. I just remember running a terribly high fever, so much that I left a fog ring on the window ledge I was sitting on and other people even noticed! Being sick could definitely impact your period flow.
Welcome Chel!! Can't wait to see your chart!
Ablack, yeah on another high temp!! Looks like things are doing what they should which we all know is most of the battle!
Jamie, glad you were able to DTD and DH was able to take his test, when do you get the results? And yeah for EWCM!! Tell me more about this grapefruit thing? I didn't have any ewcm this month and am intrigued. Oh yeah on Desmond, I was so excited when Widmore said it was a who and not an it, I knew it had to be desmond at that point. He's the variable who can change things apparently. I still have no idea how they can wrap this all up in just a few more episodes, totally confused right now.
My clear blue fertility monitor threw me for a loop this morning. Received low readings up until today when I went straight to a peak, usually I get a day or two of high and then a peak, so very confusing. Luckily we covered the bases and did the deed the past 2 days and will prob do again tonight if DH is up for it. Didn't notice any ewcm so hopefully Clomid hasn't screwed that up too badly, have been using Preseed to help in that department. If I get a sustained temp rise over the next 3 days then that will mean ov has moved from cd 21 back to cd 18, very happy with that. Also debating stopping my b50 complex. Started up to lengthen luteal phase and stop spotting, but not sure that it ever did anything for either of those areas (think acupuncture was responsible for that). Have heard that sometimes it can push back ovulation, does anyone have experience with this, any suggestions?
Best of luck ladies! Gonna be in the 70s today and supposed to hit mid 80s tomorrow, CAN'T WAIT!
