Crystal, I've tried several types of OPK's and few have been accurate in comparison to the smiley face ones. Those are dead on every time thus far. I know they are more expensive, but to me it was worth the peace of mind!

Yes, today was a tad busy in the fields (once I got out there) but it was absolutely perfect weather too! I could live outdoors if it stayed like this forever.

Sorry AF got you, but maybe this will be THE cycle!

Today, a supplier of ours that I FINALLY worked out a good deal with called me a bulldog on wheels. I was rather proud of that one but figured it would NEVER beat being told we are POAS pushers! That one takes the cake with me and I proudly wear the hat with the rest of ya!

Yes you are. The lot of you guys.

You're all crazy and I love you for it.

You know, in 2 years, I think I have done about 4-5 tests.

Thanks for the anniversary well wishes. I met DH with the kids for dinner. They hadn't been there in years and LOVED it. They were well behaved but my husband and I didn't really get to talk much. We had to discuss cub scouts and school work and why my 7y/o thinks that it's all his friend's fault that he got into trouble at school.

We are sooo NOT romantic after being together for 17 years and married for 13 that we completely forgot to get each other cards; and we certainly didn't spring for gifts. But the walk down memory lane is always nice.

LL- you mentioned if IUI is worth it. Hmmm. I've done it 8 times total. And I will admit that it's a PITA to orchestrate and the success rate is the same as sex, BUT....... even though my last 4 failed, I really am glad that I did it. It might be all regret avoidance, but I don't want to look back in 2 years and wish that I had gone through with the IUI, iykwim. It certainly won't hurt anything and could result in a pregnancy, so what do you have to loose?

Hi girls...I'm sorry I'm not being very supportive today, you all deserve it as you have always been here for me!! I've been out of sorts...and I have a selfish favor to ask. Could you all pray/cross your fingers/wish on a star/do whatever you do to bring me luck tomorrow? I have my scan to confirm that I have a healthy baby and not just that black hole empty sac, I am terrified and don't know how I will get through till then. I feel on the verge of tears/terror constantly so scared to hear bad news!! So, if you don't mind sending good vibes my way I promise to come back and be the ltttc friend you deserve

Just want to say it was our 3rd anniversary in August (10 years together) and at lunch I looked at him and said-oh! Happy anniversary!! I think we both forgot

Good thoughts coming your way.

I remember going in for a 12 week scan, (we had actually seen his hb twice by then). I nearly had a panic attack in the waiting room. I had to focus on breathing evenly and not bolting to my car or passing out. I was convinced he was gone. He's nearly 10 now. Sometimes your gut and your fears don't help you and instead it just makes you crazy insane.

Last year we were at the grocery store and I remembered it was our anniversary when I saw the date printed out on the receipt.

We've been married for 23 years and together a year longer. Some years we forget it is even our anniversary. I know it must sound horrid, but it is the way it is.

We've even had anniversaries when we didn't have sex.

Big deal. Some of the best sex we've had is on a random Thursday night anyway.

Don't you dare be apologizing! Everything is going to be fine tomorrow and you're going to have a healthy lil bugger growing in there. I'm sorry you're having these fears and wish there was some way to take them away. Hang in there, sweetie. Just a few more hours and the folks doing the scan can tell you you're nuts and nothing is wrong!

I hope you guys are right. I do regret the earlier scan. Even though I was warned there wouldn't be much to see, that empty sac has haunted me!

Yep, it's like PTSD for the infertile. I can't even imagine someone with a history of losses. You'd want to pull some teeth out or something just to distract yourself. It must be like walking on eggshells.

Yep that pretty much sums it up, thinking you would never get something, getting it, spending all your time being terrified it will be ripped away. It's exhausting! I have a new respect for the strength of ladies that have had losses.

 

[Milty]

Jen the fears are natural and come for 99% of the women I know I'll pray for you sweetie

We will have been married 19 years this year and I can say sometimes we do stuff and sometimes not. Then there are times we go all out!

 

[crystal443]
