Summer Lovin'...bring us some babies!

[sarahok]

Thanks, Beagle. I'm hoping it ends up being our month. But I'm trying to keep it in perspective by thinking if it's not this month, we will do 2 more rounds of this then move to IVF. So I won't be sooo heartbroken if it's not this time around.

Yeah, I am definitely going to call if I am still testing positive by Saturday or Sunday. That's what they told me to do (well they told me to take a home preg test if AF hadn't started), so I'm assuming it's so they can give me a blood test.

Tick tock Tick tock! Time is crawling by!

well ladies, I'm thinking that this cycle is going to be a bust.
It's CD15 and my OPKS are no different from 5 days ago. In fact the line has stayed about the same shade, even slightly lighter today than CD10 and that after waiting 5 hours! It isn't "fading in" like an OPK is supposed to. This seems to say that my LH levels are staying steady, instead of being low and then surging as they're supposed to.
My temperature is at the low point it usually reaches during a cycle, the ewcm is present, but the all-important main character is missing!
So, while it's possible that I could O late, it doesn't seem likely at this point, else why wouldn't it have done so already?

Ah Time, the evil beast that moves the same speed no matter how fast or slow we want it to move! I'm waiting impatiently as well to see what the news is for you this weekend.

Hang in there! I don't ovulate until around cd20ish. So don't give up keep testing twice a day and you should catch it

Sarah I agree with beagle. If they get darker I would call right away! My trigger is out of my system pretty quickly. I actually did a pregnancy test just to see those 2 lines at 5 or 6 dptrigger and it was - so I'm lucky with that.

 

[misaacs117]

Ok so I just received my raw greens which I thought was a drink but it's pills. Can't believe I didn't realize this! And get this you have to take 8 I repeat 8 pills a day for 1 serving! I decided I can only handle 6 a day. 3 in the am and 3 in the pm. It's just so crazy to have to take 8 pills to = 1 serving!
Bottoms up lol

haha that's crazy! 8 pills, sheesh. Maybe you should just eat spinach and greens and such?

 

[floridasian]

Good luck Sarah! I agree with beaglemom - your tests were getting lighter than darker. Fingers crossed this is the real thing!!

 

[floridasian]

Minuet - plenty of women o late and still get a BFP. Hang in there!!

*sigh* I know this is true.... it's just that my body is doing what it usually does, and it seems that if this was going to work, it would be doing it now while my system is trying to work. Sooo hence the doubtfulness.

But as you and others pointed out, O can still happen. We're still keeping on with the preseed and BD, I'm just not expecting any positive OPKs.

 

[JCM]

Exciting Sarah! My trigger hung around for 12 days remember? 12!!! Ugh! Now I will never pee on a stick! Lol you have passed the "Jen trigger mark" so I'm hoping it's a real bfp! Yay! Keep us posted!
Good luck beagle!

Somebody here did castor oil packs? I know it. I just can't find it. I feel like it was Suzy or Michelle? Hi Suzy! Come back and update us! Anyway, I read they help with cysts so I thought I'd give it a shot. My period is pretty much gone now so I'm just over here taking my birth control pills vaginally...haha my RE is so weird. I'm doing my fertility acupuncture on Friday!!! Looking forward to that at least! Plus I rented this giant inflatable water slide for my stepkids and their friends this weekend so I will be keeping busy. We are gonna put baby shampoo on it and make it super slippery. Then, the kids will camp out in it with the water off of course! What kind of stepmom would I be if I left it on? Hahaha

 

[misaacs117]

Minuet I plan on doing that too! Lol I'm gonna be full of good stuff!! lol I want dh and I to eat better and excercise. But getting dh to exercise is like pulling teeth!!

Jen it was me and Suzy! I actually go for my fertility massage in the morning. I'm a night owl so I'm up watching chasing life. I love this new show!

 

[floridasian]

Jen, I've also been doing castor oil pack for over six months now. I follow it by fertility massage, reflexology, and a femoral massage. I only do it before ovulation. I do it because I heard it could help dissolve scar tissue and unblock tubes and also help with fibroids. Not sure if it's helping at all but I figured it can't hurt!

Exercise is the worst one for me too. It's summer, its hot out, and I hate it.
Salad, fruits and veggies? That part is easy. Cutting back on chocolate? Not so easy.

Here is today's. It is 12dpiui and 14 dptrigger. I called the doc and they said to come in for blood work on Monday.

 

[minuet]

Sarahok -- that sure looks darker to me!

 

[floridasian]

Sarah if today's the one at the bottom I'd say you're definitely preggers!!!

 

[savvysaver]

Sarah, definitely darker today! Your bottom hpt looks like the one I took at 12dpo. I definitely recommend a frer, the wondfos were so light for me but once I took a frer it was instantly positive and much darker. Good luck, my fx'd for you!

 

[misaacs117]

Sarah it would say that's a +. Did you say blood work Monday? Can't you get in today or tomorrow so you can have the results before the weekend?

 

[beaglemom]

IUI went well. Count was 5 million. I have a much longer story but on my phone and pretty uncomfortable and tired. Better update later.
