Ice and Snow I wish cuz everyone shuts down and locks themselves in the House!!

I gotta get this blasted Root Canal though Boo!!!

 

[moni77]

Yep - I'll prob be working from home tomorrow as well. I think the only symptom I had from the clomid was headaches - but I am pretty headache prone anyway.

Blues-That's awesome that you like your new doctor. How many months have you been trying? She'll want good results from her early patients, so I have a feeling she will do everything she can to get you pregnant. She sounds like my doctor. Yay!!

Felcity-Gotcha on the regular cycles, and those ducks are adorable. Too bad they're smashing all your dandelion leaves. hee hee.

Sis-You already had your day off because of ice and snow. You need to go get your tooth taken care of, and moni and I'll sit at home watching cupcake wars while awaiting your return! hee hee.

ERose-I wish I could say that 80 degree temps are making me warm. hee hee. I think your parents were in town when I was in Daytona, right? brrr..Luckily, we hardly went outside, but I was not happy that the temps were so cold when I was there.

We tried kinda in October 2013, and he was all in when I didn't get a BFP right away. So seriously working on a BFP since November 2013. Yea she really was great. I really appreciated how she reviewed my insurance so she could let me know my options. She even gave me a referral for a fertility specialist if I didn't want to wait. But I will wait until 6 months.

You're right behind me because we started in August. They say that it normally takes about a year, but I WANT to be above average. At least now we have others that we can talk to about the trials and tribulations.

It is a winter wonderland of ice outside. The trees and awnings all have icicles and the street is wet/slippery. I'm staying home today. Even hubs called out today. He's been coughing, but I have a feeling he will get up and go somewhere. He can't stand to stay in one place, and he loves shopping, so I'm sure he'll decide he needs to go buy some orange juice even though it's dangerous outside.

I remember when I told my GP I was going to go off the pill and she said most couples have success within a year of trying, a year seemed like such a long time to me. Now 7 months in, I would feel that we've got lucky if I got pregnant before July this year!

 

[battyatty]

Batty, thank-you for sharing that! Your ex-DH sounds like a total boob. I am glad you are happy now! Out of curiosity, what is Malta like?

Malta, hmm
Well its a very tiny island, most ppl dont realise that its only 14 miles by 9 miles and holds nearly half a million ppl! So it is very cramped! The ppl though are so friendly and very happy too. The weather is very hot in the summer but its the humidity that really saps you, The winters feel very very cold to the ppl who live there, though it doesn't get below 5c lol I loved living there and had a great circle of friends and amazing social life. There is great history on the island, in fact the village I lived in had the oldest free standing temple in the world! Oh and the Maltese are the worst drivers in the world.... there are a 1000s accidents every month. Driving there taught me to be very pushy but very very careful! lol

 

[Radkat]

Hello everyone - Thought I'd join the party here.

My story pales in comparison to many of yours. I'm so impressed with the strength that you all have. But here it is...

OH and I are both 37. Started dating in 2000, married in 2010. We both always said we wanted kids...someday. In the meantime, we were moving across the country, hanging out with friends, traveling, concerts, etc. Basically enjoying an extended adolescence, which is way more fun when you have a job to finance all the fun. Finally decided we had better get to it as several of my friends had had troubles getting pregnant. We were very fortunate to get pregnant with DD pretty easily. She's almost 16 months old now. We have a long term plan to move back to the area that both of our families live after baby #2 is born, so it puts a little pressure on as I kinda feel in limbo. No long term plans for where we are now, but don't have a good idea of when the move will happen since we don't know when we'll get preggo. Anyway, we've been actively TTC since September 2013 (right in between BluesHoney and Terri ). Hoping for BFP just like the rest of you all!

 

[Sis4Us]

Welcome Radkat to the Oldies!!!

 

[Sis4Us]

I'm finally home now made him and his BF go get the LO!!

 

[terripeachy]

Glad you made it Radkat!
I hear you on fun and doing fun, young stuff. That's why it took me so long to look for the right man to marry. I was just playing games all along! hee hee. Well, not playing games, but looking for fun over seriousness in my boyfriends, and they were all too immature to be serious with me. HA!

Missed you today, Sis! Glad you're staying busy.

 

[Sis4Us]

All that running around today I think I might take the kids to school in my PJs and come home and paint the Gameroom!!!
Finally finished the floors in the kids sink area so I guess I can paint the Gameroom while I figure out DS2s room color scheme!!

That is if my BFF doesn't drag me outta the house she just got back from Snowy Iowa last nite!!

Hope u All enjoyed your Snow day!!!

[battyatty]

I don't know if I can do both threads lol
Ok so here is where I winge and complain and try to put a brave face on?

Grr my heads up my a**e today, damn headaches.....
Been trying to motivate myself out the door for 3 hours, as you can see by my sitting here typing it's not working! Spent all morning comparing charts on FF. why do I do it to myself?
Then started reading into the menopause, that had me running scared!

I really need to back away from my laptop now!.......

 

[oldermom1975]

My DH forgot (again) yesterday to buy my cheapie tests. So I didn't test yesterday, and the test today (FRER at 8dpo) was of course, BFN.
Didn't expect anything else. Sorry about your BFN, we still have time testing buddy!

 

[garfie]

Batty - step away from Dr Google

I had a chart like this my temp went way down and I thought great another bust - but up it went the next day and I was PG

You are still not out yet hun - the headaches do you get them a lot?

I have backed away from laptop, now on phone in car park! Lol

I'm not prone to headaches, I do get them around last week of cycle. But this month since around 7 dpo they have been getting worse! The pain lasts about 5/10 mins then goes away then back again anything from 10 to 30 mins later, all damn day! I cant take too many paracetamol because it builds up in my liver, so as you can see I'm plagued!

 

[terripeachy]

You are cracking me up!! hee hee. Stop googling menopause or I will call you batty, and I've been trying really hard not to!
Two threads make me a little crazy too, but I like being able to read updates on both. It keeps me busy.

AFM-Same old, same old. I went to the theater last night to see War Horse. It was SOOo good. I never saw the movie, but they had three people inside of the horse making it move. They did such a good job that you forgot there were people moving the head/legs/tail. I recommend it to everyone. Oh, hubs stayed home sick yesterday and I stayed home because it was icy. Today, I have a tickle in my throat.
I am worried that when my temperature jumps (if it does), it's going to be because I have a cold, not because my progesterone is high, because honestly, I don't think it is.

Oh, I have my annual exam at my OB/GYN today. I'm going to ask her about the HSG, and doing bloodwork and see if she wants me to get them done. I would prefer bloodwork over the HSG, but I would really prefer being pregnant. hee hee. I guess I'm whining now too. I need a cough drop!

 

[oldermom1975]

Atty, did you prefer to be called Atty? I am sorry about that, if you did, I didn't know.
