[honeybee28]

Julia, glad you feel like you're getting back to normal, hopefully you'll be normal for a few more days, then preggo!!!

I'm 5dpo i think. rocking the creamy cm, and mood swings lol.

i had yummy roast gammon for dinner, and warm chocolate dessert with vanilla ice cream nom nom nom.

xxxxx

 

[honeybee28]

there it is! I see it!!! Fancy pants ticker!!!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Hey, Honey... I'm 4 DPO. I didn't realize our cycles were so close together this month. I'm not feeling it this month either. But I think it's good for my mental health... Still doing my yoga, though!

 

[honeybee28]

i didnt realise we are in sync!!! Dee and tryfor are too, crazy huh.

i wonder if the month i get preggo, i will be feeling it. or will i always not be feeling it. forever more.

glad your yoga is going well. I need to get back to my fitness dvds.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Yeah, I will probably be around a bit more to fill you all in on the lurid details of IUI. I really haven't backed off from TTC, just took a break from posting to try and get a little mental sanity back. I have been less emotional about all of it. Still seem to want a baby pretty badly though I'm hoping that because AF is due just before halloween this cycle the witch will be too busy with the holiday to come visit

What is everyone going to dress up as this year? I don't know what I want to wear yet. I have a black cape that I usually wear but I want to get a fun mask or something too

 

[tryforbaby2]

Hey honeybee, dee and tryfor! MyTurn and I are both doing clomid + IUI cycles this month and are very close in cycle days. I'm going all out again - temps, opk's, softcups : ) I even got a fancy new ticker!

:wave: Miss you lots and lots and lots!!!

What is roast gammon? I have never heard of it. We can be pregnant together!! I am also 5dpo (well a few hours and I will be 6dpo). I am also rocking the creamy cm (very white, thick and creamy - tmi! lol).I keep poking my boobs (.)(.) to make them sore so I 'convince' myself I have my previous pg symptoms!!! NOT WORKING!!!! LOL
Your desert sounds lovely!

I hope she is busy going after teenage girls and unwed young women this cycle and that she can leave all of us alone. For a full nine months, please!

For some reason I thought you were getting your next IUI in November, but I must have read that somewhere else. How are you?

I am in a 'whatever' state of mind anymore (most of the time) about ttc. I am sick of it. Bored actually. Especially when you always wind up with the same heartbreak.

Miss you!

 

[tryforbaby2]

P.S. Jaimie: Love the ticker!

 

[soph77]

Hello my lovelies!!!
Jaimie so good to see you and I love your ticker xx
I am busy busy busy today but I will find a little time later when my zucchini slices will be cooking to post and tell you all about my new acupuncture lady. She is fantastic!!!
The witch came today so onto cycle 11. Day 3 bloods on monday.
Will post soon!

 

[honeybee28]

boooo for the witch soph cant wait to hear all about the needle lady!!

You dont have gammon there? It's pretty much the same as a joint of ham. I brushed on this really yummy honey glaze and put it in the oven, it was deeeelish!!

Yey Jaimie, cant wait to hear all about the IUI!

im feeling soooo lazy today, i cant even be bothered to get out of bed. ooop. sooooo tired. maybe it means im preggo?!?!!? or, more likely, it just means that ive had a busy stressy week!

xxx

 

[tryforbaby2]

Honeybee, I am tired too. I bet this means we are preggo! Cycle SYNC' buddy!!!
How's you CM at the moment? I have had cramps in my right ovary since yesterday afternoon and still woke up with them this morning. When I woke up this morning it felt like my period was coming on and I ran to the bathroom for fear of ruining my bright white eyelet sheets!!! (Gasp!)
It was nothing. I checked my cervixand it was very high and hard to reach (which I think its supposed to be after laying down all night) but it was awash in white CM.
Since we are cycle buddies I want to symptom spot with you!!!
Ooohhh Ham!! Love Ham! I just bought some chopped up ham for pea soup for during the week! Yummm!

Tonight I am making Stuffed Shells (shells stuffed with ricotta cheese, mozzarella and parsley and baked in sweet spaghetti sauce) with broccoli. Yummo!

Soph, I hate the witch. I am so sick of her bothering my friends who are family to me. Sick of it and disgusted. I am sorry.

Hey girls!!!

 

[Dee7509]

Yum! All the talk of yummy food makes me hungry!

Hi All hope you're doing ok. Sorry about the witch Soph

Nice to see you Jaime and also the new ticker.

Hi Tryfor, Honey and My turn and everyone else.

 

[tryforbaby2]

Hey Dee!! Where are you at on your cycle? If I am thinking correctly, aren't you a day dpo ahead or behind Honey and I? If you are in the TWW, what kind of symptoms are you noticing?

I am being a crazy ass symptom spotter!!!

 

[Titi]

Hi Girls,

Just logged on quickly to see if MyTurns IUI took (so sorry hun!) and say hi quick. I am sorry to all else no time to read other posts....miss you all lots.....we went on our anny cruise (Bahamas)vacation the 15th and got word on our vaca. that our boxer, Baxter's test results indicated he only had weeks left to live which was a complete shock although he'd been sick he seemed just fine still. So much for a tthf relaxy vacation our first month on clomid-I've never been so stressed. We cut our vacation short and our dear baby passed last Tues.

In addition to our heart break I had some more af F*%*wittage this cycle when I went for my Clomid follow up yesterday at cd29. Found out my cd28 blood hpt was - but my cd progesterone was 40 which was through the roof. The last time I had it checked on cd21 it was 15 and supposedly you can be pg with more than 20 and since AF hadn't shown yet (usually comes cd24-27) we were praying for a bfp. BUT stupid AF showed today. At any rate, the progesterone levels were an indication that I had a SUPER ovulation in response to the Clomid. Go spermies SWIM!!!!!!

Going to try two more cycles before giving up for now. Miss you all TONS just not been able to come on. I'm sorry to post and run-please facebook me or pm me if you have any good news to share in case it takes me too long to get to read all the back posts next time I'm on,...

Love and dust to all.

 

[honeybee28]

Hey titi, im so sorry about your doggy. My dog died a few years back, it was so awful. I really feel for you. I hope you feel better soon fx for your next cycle!!

julia, its the same as it always is at this time in my cycle, it is white and creamy and there's a fair bit of it. I should have a bit of pink spotting in the next couple of days, happens every month. bah. No cramps. No sore boobage. Slight back ache, but that's coz i slept funny. grrrrrr. I want to bake a babycake.
mmmm your dinner sounds delish!!

went to watch hubs play rugger today (well, i went there, and another guy's gf was there, and it was raining..... so we went to the pub and waited for them lol)

Now back home snug on the sofa wahoooooo.

I am wondering if they will comeout with some special potion one day for people who want/desire children so badly,that if we drink it we will produce a few eggs (ok maybe one really good one! hehe) at a time and if DH drinks it he will super charge his spermies and they would multiply!?......hmmm?

Hey, Honey... I'm 4 DPO. I didn't realize our cycles were so close together this month. I'm not feeling it this month either. But I think it's good for my mental health... Still doing my yoga, though!

Yay for the yoga. I do belly dancing, is that a good enough substitute for yoga?

boooo for the witch soph cant wait to hear all about the needle lady!!

I've never heard of gammon either. And yes, I agree tired MUST mean pg for you and Julia So proud of you that you passed you exam too. Not sure if I mentioned that. Is it only one more to go?

Honeybee, I am tired too. I bet this means we are preggo! Cycle SYNC' buddy!!!

Titi I am so happy to see you but I wish it was on a happier note Deepest condolences on the loss of your baby baxter, my heart goes out to you. And the stupid effing witch, she got me yesterday too. Think of it this way. You know that you had a fantastic response to the clomid, that is super great, your hubby's sperm were just ill prepared for it! Now that they know what is coming they will be ready and willing to chase down the super egg.


OK, yo know how I started going to see an acupuncturist last cycle? Well I wasn't really happy with her. I couldn't communicate with her because she spoke little English and I couldn't talk about what she was doing and I just had this 'feeling' that she wasn't all she was cracked up to be and I was wasting my money.

Well, I found a fertility specialist acupuncturist who also work with the ivf clinic here. She is harder for me to get to but I am willing to make the extra effort. And after seeing her yesterday, I was SOOOOOO right about the other lady! My new acupuncturist is sooo great.

I was there for 2 hours. She asked me heaps of questions, lots of pulse taking. She asked me about my periods and I told her I have medium flow for the first day, then heavy then light then light. But I told her that I didn't think my 'heavy' was as heavy as other womens is. She asked me how many tampons I would fill on a heavy day and apparently, my heavy is very light. She says I am blood deficient and spleen deficient. So yesterday she did points to increase my blood and spleen chi. Not sure what all this means yea t, but I have a book to read! I have noticed that yesterday and today my periods have been heavier! She also said that my pulse was responding strongly and positively to the acupuncture right away which was great.

She did 2 lots of needles on my for fertility and some moxi, then she did some points for my asthma. As we were talking while the moxi was burning we were discussing my pregnancy with kai and his birth. She asked is it was a good birth and i told her it was a 17 hour labour with fail to progress and an emergency c-section. She asked if I recovered from that well and I don't know what made me tell her this story but it just came out. I had an allergic reaction to the spinal anesthetic and got really itchy after the operation. When I started to get feeling back in my legs I got this idea in my head that I had to have a shower, so I flung my legs over the side of the bed and tried to get out. The nurses ran in and sort of caught me as I fell off the bed because my legs were not working properly yet. I tore my stitches a little.

She asked to see my scar, it's a bit bubbly and raised where I ripped it. She asked iff I had feeling there, which I don't. She said that the conception meridian runs all the way down the middle of our front right through the scar and my next visit we will do some scar bridging. She says that sometimes a nasty scar can stop the flow of chi through a meridian and sometimes all it can take is that to be bridged again. I am cling onto that hope!

Anyway, she was great. She also thinks that I have candida. Even though I don't present with any symptoms. She thinks that is why I do not have any fertile cm and I will have to go on a special diet to correct. She wants me to have 3 day bloods done tomorrow and a candida test. I don't know how I am going to manage to do that with work, but I will get it done!

That is all I have to say about that! Wish me luck for today ladies!! I have me big belly dance concert today and am doing 3 performances and a solo!! Really need to go and start to get myself ready Can't waste all day on bnb

Hello all the lovelies.
AF arrived for me too, spot on day 61... so it seems my cycles have gone from an average of 37 days, to 61 for no reason. Bizarro.
This one is spinning me out though... I haven't had a really heavy period for months and this one is BEYOND heavy... I went to the horse paddock to feed my horse, played with my kitten for a moment, and then came home again (my kitten is still too young to be seperated from mum, and mum is owned by the people where I board my horse, so, yeah, lol).... and then I came home, went to the toilet feeling a bit weird and sick to find my super maxi cloth pad was soaked right through, covered in clots, it had overflowed and my underpants were soaked through and I had blood running down my legs.
It took me over half an hour to get the blood out of my cloth pad, it just kept coming out it was so full of blood.

And I have a headache and don't feel very well. And yesterday I was having sharp cramps, I NEVER get period pain!

 

[honeybee28]

wow soph...... just wow. This lady sounds so amazing, i want to fly round the world to see her. As far as I'm aware we dont have anyone like that near here but I will ask my fs. I had no idea about your scar, that must have flipping hurt at the time.... imagine if that is what's stopping you from getting pregnant.... that's crazy..... it makes sense from what she's saying though. oh yey, i bet you're super excited!!!

ahhh moon, sorry about the heavy period. But at least it means a new cycle! Are you going to go to the doc about why this one was crazy long?

Julia - ahhhh that would be great if they could invent that magic potion!!

i slept 10 hours solid last night, still cant be bothered to get out of bed. really have to start studying.
thanks soph, yeah one more in a couple weeks, then I'm aaaaaaallll done!!
