Oh Pad - sorry to hear that - but as long as it's keeping the little Pickle happy and well -injecting-we-will-go right!?
You're funny re: Valentines' ....no nothing like that happens in our house.... even before AD we never did stuff like that.... Need to spice it up I know but DH is always so damn tired and now we have to keep things quiet too for AD (she's in room next to us!) We'll see -I bet when I give up the old TTC thing (which will happen if this next IVF doesn't work) - I bet he'll be wanting to DTD more often - and then I'll be
Well then the bath and champagne then... at least AD won't be next door hehehee!!!
I had a bath today.. wasn't romantic especially when I got stuck and couldn't get out... Hubby had to haul me out laughing his head off calling me a manatee!!
Hi ladies, sorry I am really short of time being away at the moment but I am reading
Just wanted to chime in and send Jenny some - yes it is hard doing this on your own. But you have taken the biggest step by deciding to do this. I have single friends who talk about it but I'm not sure if they actually will. At the end of this you will hopefully have all that you want in a and also hopefully lots of friends that will help you out. I'm so sorry about your Mum but am sure she is watching over you hoping this goes well for you.
Hey ladies. Big hugs to you all. Am a bit short of time due to parents eve but didn't want to read and run.
Pebble sorry about bfn.xxx
I forced down 3 pancakes. Think the hormones kicked in today. A little tired and emotional. Around about 20 buscuits helped. Last appointment @7pm tom then cruising thro to half term. Roll on 3.30 on fri!!
I was just so convinced I Oed on CD14 with the posOPK and cramping. But maybe not...maybe CD16. Who knows. I just want the witch to show so that I know my cycle is doing OK.
Pad - bathroom is in our room and the other bath is on the other side of her room! Anyway you are not a manatee!!! but they are cute and I know you love them too I thought you couldn't have baths when Preggers?? or is that only when much closer to due date?
Ness - roll on half term!! Does that mean you are off next week?
BF - finally found your new journal -just posted in there
Lurking! But have just a few comments as usual Im going ot have to throw out there!
Ness I think you meant grapefruit juice pre-Ov? If so, start about 1 weeks prior & drink an 8oz glass every day (can also be pink). EPO daily for that same week & mucinex (guaifenesin) 5-7 days pre-Ov. Thats right you are taking clomid, so yes, these are the things to do to increase CM & make it more alkaline.
Pebble Just stalked your chart & I'm so sorry . I think lots of & chocolate are in order for you tonight, darlin. Or ice cream & a favorite movie. None of them make up for BFN's or AF but if it makes you feel a little better then do it. I know you felt you were out anyway, so hopefully you can kick this TTC F-er to the curb next month!!!
Maddy Im going to throw a nice wrench into the mix for you! I am more inclined ot say the not-for-profit. Yes, its 4hrs drive, but all you have to go up there for is ER, fertilization & put back right? So, can you just stay there for a few days & that will be your 1 & only trip? DH just needs to practice driving until then & you can always take over when you get to the city if necessary. Also why I am inclined to say this is because I would think theyd be more focused on results for non-monetary reasons AND from what I have heard, the 1st cycle is often a bust as they are figuring out what meds to give you, what you respond to best, tinkering & toying with your meds, levels, protocol, etc Id rather see you do that for $1k than for $5k. The fact of the matter if that you have ot be prepared for 3-4 cycles given the odds (hoping it only 1 of course!). And if it just totally sucks going there, then you have learned what protocol is good or bad for $1k & you can take that info. to your local one. What were success rates for this clinic vs local? (otherwise, I really liked DrHs approach to test your reaction!)
IVF Ladies: Maddy, Owl, Jenny, BF, Dash, we need a timeline around here! I know Dash is starting her meds in 2 wks, BF is still up in the air & so if Owl & Jenny are a week apart, and Owl started Monday, then Jenny starts next week, then we have Dashka the next!? LOL, lots of exciting times around here cant wait!!!
Kismet Im sorry to hear about your mom. Sounds like Chicken & Briar know exactly what to do & thats awesome that you have knowledgeable people to talk to. And for the
Dashka just posted in your journal. Sorry you have 11-year anniversary of TTC this month hun. 2013 just HAS to be your lucky year then, as 11 is both lucky & spiritual!!! And get your reiki on as much as possible it will help you to keep calm & balanced for the festivities coming in TWO WEEKS!
LadyH
Happy 3rd Tri - You made it hun! And thakn you for being there for us too. Well ALL get there we will!
Mirium how you doing hun? Any results yet? Sending you the hugest
Pad yes, I was most upset at an unstalkable chart that month! So sorry to hear your latest news & just hoping going brown gets you to where your levels should be!
Jenny Im sorry.
Ugh-oh, cut short & didn't even get to finish reading the thread. I have a Dr. appt I have to get to so all around!
Sorry, y'all, this should have been in spoilers. Still no news tho.
Just a quick comment for whomever asked: I'm 2 days late (I looked back and my LP is very consistent), and still no AF. My chart seems extremely clear for O time. I have not started any meds that should affect my cycle. If the AM comes with no AF, I'll use a FRER. If negative I will commence freak out that something is probably wrong.
Twiggers, I'm glad your cycle is good even if AF did show up.
Pebble, I never stalk charts but when LilSluz mentioned yours I checked. Sorry about the temp drop.
Good luck to all of the IVF ladies!
Obviously I have nothing to report on the ttc front. Did anyone see the "newborn" photos of the adopted 13-year-old boy done by his photographer mother? Apparently the set is sparking interest in adoption of older kids. I have to say that it makes me want to adopt an older kid. Well, that happens for me all the time anyway. I see so many kids who are not being treated well and I want to take them home with me permanently. Should this not work out I know I'll eventually go that route, but at my age I figure I will give this a try for a year or two first. And then someday that's probably how I'll get another!
Dammit Dash... you gonna have to pull out the big guns and put a rug down in front of the roaring fire chick... that is how I imagine all Canadian houses to have roaring fires lol.... and lock the lounge door!
WOW... this sex ban clearly has me repressed! Hehhee
I checked with my MW and for high risk they don't recommend it for 1st tri, but is OK now so long as it isn't a hot bath.
Pbl have you POAS this morning?
Ness.... yup roll on half term! Am sure Dwrgi feels the same lol
Lils... how on earth do you remember all that stuff???? Clearly baby brain has not got to you!
Emily I didn't see the photos... do you have a link?
Kis you are right.. onwards and upwards is the only way to go sweetie! Bloomin DHs eh... supportive as ever lol
No need to test this AM. AF came with a vengeance! I have no idea why she was so late. to those dealing with my craziness past few days. Selfish posts will end now.
