Happyauntie, i loved your post and enjoyed reading it. It has offered me some inspiration!
I'm here but it's been a really really long day today - started work at 8 this morning + not long been home. I'm a bridesmaid tomorrow so will check in with you all on Sunday xx
Ooh, you need to post a pic of the dress so we can all see how dreadful it is! Bridesmaid dresses generally are - I have a collection of them to prove it! They'll make a great Halloween costume some time! Except mine, of course - my bridesmaids all looked stunning, naturally! Have fun at the wedding - I really do love going to them. I cry at the weddings of people I don't even know! I'm such a sap.
Hi Guys - I'm new to the forum. I'm 38, TTC our first and on 3rd cycle using CBFM. Already stunned at the emotional rollercoaster that is TTC! I've just hit my peak with the CBFM so about to enter the dreaded TWW!!! Symptom spotting here we come!!!! xxxx
Welcome, Pickle! Glad you found us here. Hope the symptom spotting doesn't drive you crazy!
AFM well today is a better day thankfully And thank you all for your support Well my temp absolutely nose dived this morning but I did wake at 6.30am freezing as DH had opened all the windows in the bedroom and turned on not only the ceiling fan but 2 floor standing fans as well and then had nicked all the bedding to wrap himself in and when I tried to take some back after doing my temp he said "get off cold!" At that point I poked him hard and told him to let the dogs out So not bothered to put in on my chart as it will mess it up more than it is
Sending lots of to any requiring/wanting it and to anyone who needs one
My DH is SUCH a cover hog! Has been since day 1! It's not so bad in the summer, but winters get rough. I don't bother poking him anymore, I just steal them back. I don't care if jerking some covers away from him wakes him up - his leaving me bare wakes me up, and turnabout's fair play, right?!
afm - well I managed to loose 2lb last week. My parents have arrived this am, so there will be meals out and stuff, Ill just have to be careful I don't over indulge! Also we will be partaking in the silent till FF tells us O has occurred. it was supposed to happen today so fingers crossed. My parents are here to house hunt, which is lovely because it will be much easier to visit and keep an eye on them!
Excellent job on the weight loss! And is it just me, or is the silent kind of exciting? Idk, maybe it's rules-follower in me that gets excited doing something sneaky! Good luck with the house hunting. In Texas we lived just 1/2 mile from my parents and it was fantastic - we really miss seeing them so frequently now that we live 1200 miles away. But then I'm very fortunate that DH loves my family and is very close to them, and vice versa. Having them close by could be a nightmare for some, along the lines of Everybody Loves Raymond! What's the housing market like over there? It's still hard to sell over here - buyers definitely have the upper hand these last few years, if they can qualify for a mortgage (which is increasingly difficult to do).
HA, you missie, i am giving strict orders to think positive!!! Dont you dare give up on this cycle until its over, you are always so wise and supportive on here, and i just cant stand to see someone give up on something before they even know the outcome, remember ANYTHING can happen, all you need is one egg and one sperm and wa la you have a miracle.
HA! You freakin ROCK! What a beautiful and thoughtful post! Stay on that soapbox of yours we love it!!!!!!
Good luck with the IUI HA! I have an amh of 2.9 and there were about three follies, which is what they would expect with a level like this. It is a scary thing as it is yet another set back for us, and I am sure you can appreciate this. TRY and stay positive for this IUI-I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I'm going to give you my opinion about your treatment now, and I hope I don't offend you, but with a low amh like we have, I'd be far more inclined to go straight to IVF which has a statistically higher chance of success than IUI. By having another IUI, you are stimulating eggs which you can't afford to be wasting; save them for IVF instead.
Here's a report. We saw both babies briefly on ultrasound today and everything seems to be going well. I am now going to commit to staying positive. Even though we need to decide about amnio and are weighing the benefits vs. the risks, I am going to expect good results and know that if we get negative ones, I'll deal with those once we get there. Thank you, HA, and all the other ladies for your prayers and support.
Well... me and Hubby have decided to bash the credit card and go for it. Hubby is in tomorrow for his bloods and I have asked my GP for my results and I have emailed the clinic to ask if we can arrange ED for Oct.... gulp...
Hey ladies! just wanted to stop by and let you all know that i did a pee test this morning (14dpiui) and it was i am supposed to go for a blood hcg test today, but i figure since the hpt was negative, there's no point doing a blood test?! is this the right thinking? i mean 14dpiui would show up on a hpt if there was anything there right?
Good luck to all still waiting....!
