Gotta call my Thyriod Dr Tom also so I can get that checked ive heard us Hyops might have lower HCG levels so that's good to know!! Need to make sure I don't need to up my dosage for baby!!

Thinking of going to my first Auction today w my Mom or my BFF if I can get her outta he house .... Either way we might be a force to reckon w !!!!

Hope everyone is well!!!

Its took some reading but I got there in the end lol

Garfie - Sorry about Hubby, men sometimes just don't get it. We was discharged from our FS the other week, he was useless anyway but I still came away very disappointed so I can imagine your hurt.

Oldermum and Neesaw - Big hugs I'm very sorry for you both

Terripeachy - Pleased your HSG went well I had mine last year, a little discomfort but not to bad thank goodness was definitely apprehensive about having it.

Sis - Your lines look great Good luck for Monday

Hi to everyone else :wave: Hope you've all had a lovely Valentines and weekend.

There is some really good looking charts on here ErosePW

Well I don't seem to have had any symptoms from the Clomid so far, I'm cycle day 11 today and went out and bought a thermometer yesterday thought I would temp for these last few months more as an idea as to whether it changes my O date than anything else. generally I O on CD 13/14 so will be interesting to see.

My healthy eating is not going to well I have been on a bit of a downer the last few days I need to get a grip!! no more tears or over eating..hell if I can manage to stop smoking I can manage to stop eating surely

Oh and ladies there are some rather cool jobs between you I'm an Industrial Reseller , we source items that company's require and purchase them for them. Nothing as interesting or intellectual but I enjoy it

 

[garfie]

Hi ladies

I'm still around - glad to hear you all had a lovely Valentines Night - mine was a total wash out (although he did get me some lovely chocs and a card)

Firstly we all slept in - he said he was going to make me breakfast in bed - but as we were running late - there wasn't time? What was he going to make I don't know as the bacon was still in the freezer

So I ran him a bath and waited for him to come home - he was late bath was lukewarm but well the thought was there he got out and offered me his bath water - er no thanks so I scrubbed the bath and ran mine - while he went out for a takeaway.

So I put on the sexy undies (as you do) and waited and waited and waited (he came home said the take away was very busy) in the meantime I had cooked for the kids and bribed the children to stay in their rooms

We had a nice enough take away and a glass of wine so things were looking up when he said do you want to keep those sexies for another night I'm nackered and stuffed (take away was filling) so I changed into my pjs and we called the kids down (I am now a tenner out of pocket)

So that was our Valentine - he promised me he would make it up to me the next night - well our eldest was on one - so that failed too - (luckily though we managed a sneaky one) which was a good job as my OPK looks very positive today (already) wondering if it's a fake one

I have been on progesterone cream - the first time I got my BFP and also Oldermum nausea was a weird symptom for me too

Wish - Sorry you got a BFN fingers crossed next time you test it becomes a BFP

Sis - Great to see your line is getting darker

VJ - I am trying ovaboost (still waiting for it to come) and acupuncture to help my eggs - you will not know anything until they have done CD3 bloods - hope you prove your Dr wrong

Terri - Glad to hear your HSG went well - boo about the pain - but how fantastic if you end up with a BFP

AFM - I am still around but the children are on holiday now and the eldest has trouble dealing with change - so I am with him quite a lot trying to explain that he is only on holiday and he will be back at school in a routine before he knows it

Sometimes I wonder how would I cope with the eldest and a baby? then other times I kick myself up the a@@ and say I will cope bring it on

[terripeachy]

garfie-Is take away similar to what we call carry out? You call and order food and then go pick it up and bring it home? Your stories make me laugh. You're out of a tenner because you guys were too full/stuffed for a "party." HA!!HA!! Oh well. Those kids can stay in their room next time. Love how you had your sexy nighties on, and then changed to PJs. The things we do...*sigh* Hope the progesterone cream helps you this time around and YES!! You can handle your eldest and a baby. Bring it on!

Felcity-glad you posted. I have separation anxiety. hee hee. I thought you might have left the nut house. I'm curious about your temperatures now too. We'll see when it jumps! Interesting job, that's for sure. We have to buy equipment and parts for our machines too, so I guess you would be on the other end of the line providing stuff for us.

Sis-That's awesome about getting a treadmill. Woohoo..Keep that blood moving.

ERose-Great you're taking progesterone. I think it can only help. I've slacked on my prenatals again. I guess I'll get back on it starting tonight. I was feeling so upset when AF came early that I gave up on them. Sometimes you know you do everything right, and to no avail. But..I will get back on that horse.

Roxy update-She s me. She follows me everywhere, and she has even been running up and down the driveway, so I know her missing leg isn't bothering her. She goes back for her checkup next Sunday. I hope they don't say she's ready for adoption. HA!!HA!! She's too good to give back just yet. Not sure how she's doing on her diet (we don't own a scale) and she's only eaten cheese with her medicine, so hopefully she has dropped some weight. Maybe they'll let me have her for one more week so she can lose more weight. Now that a lot of people have shoveled their sidewalks, our walks can get a little longer.

 

[Katie Potatie]

Lots to catch up on. Hope everyone had a sweet Valentine's Day.
First, my heart goes out to Oldermom & Driving. I'm so sorry to read your news. I keep thinking about what to say, but everything in my head involves foul language. It's sh$@. And I'm sorry you're going through it. Did I already mention it's sh$@?

Terri--Hooray on the HSG and that it is done and over with! And I, too, have heard on these threads of women getting pregnant soon after their tubes were flushed. Sorry, that sounds like household plumbing talk!

Sis--Glad your DH was surprised and excited with the news! And I'm sure everything is going just fine with your numbers. Monday will confirm though and then hopefully you'll feel even better about it. We just get so stuck in the black-and-white of everything must double exactly. Like you, I never had blood tests with my daughter so there wasn't that added concern!

VJean--It's good to hear that all of your tests came back fine. What a relief! Are there no tests they can do to check egg quality? Or is that what the CD3 bloods are about?

Garfie--Thank you for that story. That's a perfect example of "real life." And real life is usually funnier than fiction. What's a "tenner"??

Also, Wish & OlderM--Love your new pictures. Pretties! I really enjoy seeing people's pictures.

AFM--Vday was nice. DH and I don't do gifts, but we go out for a nice dinner each year. It was delicious and expensive and totally worth it. Still doing OPK's...looks like O is finally close. Just happy to get back to a regular cycle after the chemical.

Btw, Conceive Plus lube tastes terrible! Yuckkkkk. TMI? Yes. But it's the truth.

 

[garfie]

My English chatter has confused you ladies

Terri - Yes it is a carry out

Katie - A tenner is a £10.00 note (slang term oops) so they both got a fiver (a £5.00 note each) for staying in their rooms - but not for long

[Katie Potatie]

Ohhhhh! Omg, that made me laugh. You bribed them with money...no wonder they stayed quiet in their rooms. That's funny!!!

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

Your new avvie is adorable Wish .

 

[Sis4Us]

A Tenner!!!!

I'm glad u asked Katie I was thinking man I've got the Baby brain already!!

So ready for Tom to come and Go kinda Afraid of what my FS might say he's hard to understand sometimes!!
Im sure he will be excited and tell me he told me so ... I'm just afraid they will push me off to My OBGYN sooner than I would like and stop testing me !!!

 

[ERosePW]

Is that all they prescribed U??? It oral right??

A lot of those get broken down in the stomach so I would say take it the same time everyday usually they make u take AM/Pm like I take mine 9AM 9 Pm so it does at drop in my system and has a good even build up!!

FX this is it or u Erose!

Yep, I had a feeling what he gave me was low, compared to what i'd read others were taking. But he isn't convinced I'm low on P to begin with. But he's only tested me the day after I O'd, so how would he really know, right? He gave me the P just in case, since Clomid can thin the lining, and the P (even if I'm really not low), will help thicken it if needed, and he said it certainly never hurts anything.

Here's the thing though... I need to get this show on the road. So if I don't get my BFP this cycle (although I keep telling myself everyday that I AM getting my BFP this cycle ) then its time for me to do the day3 and day21 tests, and I'll request another u/s after O for them to test the thickness of uterine lining. You mentioned that your Dr was already doing that for you, but since I'm not seeing a FS, I think my OB just thinks I'm gonna get prego super easy on the clomid. Which I did... and only drove his point home even more. But it didnt stick. So if this month is not successful, I'm asking for all that other monitoring.

ok....whew...thanks for letting me vent! lol

 

[Radkat]

Garfie - Love the V day story. You can wear your "sexies" another day.

Terri - Glad things are going well with Roxy. Sounds like she's on the mend.

Katie - Hooray for darker OPKs. Have fun!

Felicity - Controlling eating is waaay harder than any other addiction. You don't have to smoke to stay alive. And there aren't commercials for crack on TV. I'm sure you'll get back on track.

Afm - nothing much going on here, just waiting for results on Tuesday. Going on a day date with DH tomorrow as LO's day care is open but I'm off work. Yay! Haven't seen a movie in the theater for a year.

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

What are ya'll going to go see Radkat? I love movies .

 

[Sis4Us]

Erose yes my FS actually monitors B4 ovulation like when u get a +++ OPK go in get a scan so they can see how big your Follies are and how many!! That's when they check your lining too!!!
HTH!! GL

 

[Radkat]

What are ya'll going to go see Radkat? I love movies .

Me too! Pre baby we used to see a couple movies a month. Going to see either American Hustle or Monuments Men. I was hoping for Gravity, but it's already out of the theaters!

 

[terripeachy]

Sis-I am so glad you know so much about everything fertility. We're SOOo glad to have you on our team.

Katie-Yay for darker OPKs, and time to get going. I never think stuff is tmi when people type it, but I have to say, the conceive plus tasting terrible may just be the thing that gets me. You cracked me up. HA!!HA!! It doesn't help if you eat it. They might have to start putting that on the label. Not for oral use. HA!!HA!!

garfie-It's fun to learn new words, although I guessed that a tenner was a $10, tenspot, etc...

Radkat-You have me rolling regarding commercials for crack on tv. Can you imagine? Woo, Lord! hee hee. I always fall asleep in the movie theater, but I hope you watch something great. You deserve it. Oh, George Clooney was on The Daily Show the other night, and he sure is one FINE specimen of a man. I could look at him all day. My vote is for Monuments Men. Yum yum.

ERose-You do need to get the show on the road, but I hope everything happens perfectly this month so you don't have to get all that special bloodwork and monitoring done. You'll just know that the P is what you needed all along.

 

[battyatty]

Hi ladies. Just popping in to let you all know I'm ok. Valentines was very romantic due to more power cuts. Managed to get coal for my range so dinner was cooked on top of that by candlelight! I did get flowers and a bottle of champagne though! Still no internet where I live so it's been very quiet without you lovely ladies. Only chatting here now as I'm at the hospital fertility clinic waiting to be seen. Hopefully today we should get our net back so I can catch up with everyone!
Take care all of you x

 

[felcity 45]

Hi Ladies,

Terripeachy - I love the nut house You all make me feel very welcome

Sis - My treadmill comes out today, it has been staring at me for the last 4 weeks It has too be done lol

Katie Potatie - There is never TMI, That was too funny.

ERosePW - Really hoping for your BFP this cycle, it's great you were given P, they haven't mentioned this to me just that they will do bloods on the 2nd and 3rd cycle but won't be checking my lining do you think I should mention it?

Radkat - I love the idea of a day date, think I will mention this to OH hope you enjoy the film.

Wish I had started temping at the beginning of this cycle looking back at charts from when I temped before I had a dip around CD12 just before O, I dipped today but have only done 2 days so not sure if it means anything

Not sure how to get FF chart on here?

 

[felcity 45]

Felcity-Gotta keep things entertaining around here. I'll send you directions on putting your chart in your signature in a private message. That's one of my added duties. hee hee.

Sis-fxfx. I'm sure everything will be fine, and I hope you get to stay with your FS a little longer and don't have to go back to the OB if you don't want to.
