yesterday and I'm not sure if I can innocently entice DH tonight without him becoming suspicious. We are only meant to be NTNP but I CANT HELP IT!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Babywhisperer... I agree and think you should try the IUI for a month and then go to IVF, that way you are trying both options, but in the most affordable way?
Ali... how are you feeling? You do sound as if you have some type of flu virus, I hope you are resting up (and looking forward to the roller coaster again, we're sadists I think really!)
Coy... how are the DDs? Did you get your assignment finished?
Jess... GL for this cycle, I hope you catch that egg
Samsfan... How are you?
Phil... loving the profile pic, how are you coping with the new routine?
AFM... I got a positive opk last night but temp hasnt dropped this morning so I reckon ovulation will be tonight or tomorrow. I can feel the bloated tummy and slight ovulation pains starting which for me normally start the day before ov. We
Have a good day everybody x
I am just trying to make it through the week so I can 
My Mom keeps telling me to go get some exercise, and I don't disagree that I need to exercise, but not when I have a fever and I ache from head to toe! 
It is comical now, I swear this bug whatever it is is a chameleon and keeps changing its spots! 
We will all support you here! Maybe you need to completely clean everything (including your body). Detox your house, car, and body. And start fresh. Have you tried that yet? 
i can't wait for her to get back so we can celebrate online with her!
! I just don't get it. I will have to try a different approach tonight.
Good morning everyone!
Sparrow...I'm Jess...welcome! I am 41 and I am TTC #2. There really isn't anyone in my life telling me i am too old. BUT, a lot of people don't know how old I really am. But my parents do 9Duh!) and so do my BF's parents. And they are completely supportive and excited and anxious! Lol! Don't listen to anyone telling you what you should and should not do with YOUR life. That is between you and your family. If you want another baby, and your healthy enough to have one, then you SHOULD!
Coy...I am so glad you got your computer issues resolved. It is no fun playing catch-up on homewo0rk assignments. I am completing a self-paced teacher certification course right now. And given how busy I have been the last few days, I am so glad it is self-paced...otherwise I would be WAY behind!!
Ali...you better start feeling better or I might have to make a trip to Florida!
Angel...good luck on getting a little BD'ing time in!
Chantal got a BFP!!! I am stupid excited for her! That is so so wonderful!!!
AFM...well, lets just say I don't like scheduled sex!! I haven't ovulated yet, but we are trying the every other day thing until I ovulate. And neither of us could really get into it
lol @ timing and not "getting into it" 
Serious? Skip the romance baby! Just grab him 
I am in a good mood this morning (K, late morning 
) 
) lol! 
this year we get to do her ISAT 20 minutes away! I can't elive it! And her annual IRI testing (drumroll) at our local library 
lol! I am psyched, can't wait.
T is on a super antibiotic...*sigh* Nuts!for it all. I was up at 3 this morning w/ 
lol! Just one glass. I'm a good girl 
lol
Helllooo ladies! Good mornin' to ya'll
Jess- I like your idea of detoxing everything. Ali tells me I can't (or shouldn't ) use Lysol...how do I detox the house? Bleach? I'll try it.
I did complete my assignment- 3 part Assessments package (bleh) on HIPAA Privacy Rules. (boring
OMG, the last few years we have had to drive half way across the state for Teagen to take her school testing
Got everybody in the house on antibiotics except Aeryn and I...I had dh schedule to go see his doc as his glands are swollen and not responding to meds
Hey BabyWhisperer!
It sounds like Cornel is the better option. From what you've said they are better able to help you there. From your explanation, they don't seem to have as bleak of an outlook as the other FS did. Plus they are more likely to think outside the box to make you pregnant. I honestly think you get what you pay for!
You are right about the Injectibles/IUI it will be a dry run on the meds, and maybe you'll get lucky and it will work! Didn't you say your DH went off propecia? So hismight be in better shape now!
I know IVF is a scary option, and very expensive. I was just doing my taxes and I spent what Cornel costs thus far! My IVF's were slightly cheaper, but I had other costs, like
ICSI was recommended to me as well since I was using donor sperm. They take the best looking
missed you!
PS. Did you see Chantal got a BFP? She left for Barbados yesterday and won't be back until March 1st. She found out on Valentines day!
this thing off. Then come Monday I better darn well be feeling like normal! I can't keep feeling like this. I did have a talk with my GP nurse and she suggested that I get a referral to a neurologist. Thing is that I still think it's viral, just not influenza A or B. It's the only thing that makes sense 
Oh sweetie this sounds like what is going around here. I had to be on 2 Z packs back-to-back and it did the trick. I hope you get better fast.
Good to see Jess check in! How is everyone else?? Coy? Twotogo? Sansfan? Chantal? Angel? Phil? Sorry I have been MIA, between earlier days, acupuncture after work...and the fact that I wanted to not obsess over my 2nd opinion @ Cornell today, I just felt staying off BNB was the best way to give my head and emotions a break.
I miss you all! I want to hear how everyone is doing?
Afm, my 2nd opinion appt today was ok. They did an exam and on the u/s he could see 6 follicles on the right and 3-4 on the left, suggesting a slightly better result than the .47 AMH blood test suggested. He decided to redo the AMH test and I will get the result in 10days. I think today was a good day to see him as I am getting AF tonight or tomorrow. The news wasn't great though. He thinks we have a 10-15% chance with injectables and IUI and to not bother with Clomid as my chances would be like 5% since DH's morphology is 5%. He is also requesting another blood test and SA for DH to double check the previous RE's tests. He thinks we have a 30-40% chance with IVF and thinks it is the best option esp if DH's morphology comes back as being low again...IUI may not work with his low #s, and that ICSI with IVF would be the best way to choose the best swimmers. I don't know what to do.
What would you ladies do? IUI with injectables for $1000 and try that for 3 mos, or skip right to IVF? The other thing is that Cornell doesn't have any payment plans like the 3rd party option of buying a plan for 24k and it covers 3 INF cycles, 2 FTs and if nothing works you get 70% back, the other RE at North Shore Hospital on LI has that plan. Cornell is like 22k upfront and that is per trial. We have no fertility benefits on DH's insurance. Any thoughts on what you ladies would do? This is the same doctor that helped Celine Dion and our close family friend who is an obgyn trusts him implicitly. If the first cycle doesn't work we have to spend another 22, so 44k for 2 cycles.Do I choose the cheaper group that has a good reputation, or the more expensive group that has a world wide reputation of being stellar.
In the meantime

AFM- as long as I stay on the Mucinex D and take my migraine meds I seem to be surviving. I can't wait for Saturday! I have to take my car in, but as soon as I return I'm going back to bed and I'm going to
