OMG..the balcony picture made me smile. I really needed that today. Thanks!

I love the ideal of sending a fertility idol around to everyone.

Well ladies, dh's operation is Friday. I am not sure of the time yet. The dr's office is supposed to call me tomorrow and let me know when it will be. I am super nervous. If you lovely ladies could send some good vibes our way, they'd be much appreciated.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Ahahaha! I love the balcony picture!!! Can you eat protein on your diet Soph? I recommend high protein snacks like nuts to help with the hunger. So far today I've resisted the candy in my cupboard. Coffee is a very special friend indeed - I hope the diet does the trick for you honey! It had better because coffee is hard to give up!! You are over the hard part though - the withdrawl (hee). You did a killer job on the multi quotes - no worries about missing the last one. You are the new multi quote queen! long may you live!!!

Julia - I'm so sorry about that stupid job. That really stinks. Do they have a monkey filling out the schedules or what?!

Yes Jaimie I can eat protien, I have been living on eggs, chicken, avocado, lemon juice and rice cakes. At the moment I am still enjoying avocado and lemon juice but it could get boring after a few weeks. I am seeing my acupuncturist on Saturday so I will ask her what else I can eat! There has to be so good stuff I am just not thinking of. I will have to go out and get some nuts though, thanks for that suggestion.

Soph, I dont remember you going past 17dpo before or maybe not even 17dpo at all, if I recall.....seems fishy to me. Have you not tested lately? How is your cm? And the girls?.... (.)(.) or if you prefer (.Y.)???

Yeah, my lp is usually anywhere from 15, 16, 17 days so it is not unusual for me. (.Y.) are not sore at all, nice and big though. But again that is not unusual, they usually get big after O. No af symptoms on the way either. Haven't tested since 12dpo. I know I am not, but I think I will go and test anyway!!!

Glad our balcony cheered you up! I hope your dh op goes smoothly and he recovers quickly. Sending positive happy healing vibes your way!

 

[tryforbaby2]

Soph, I am thinking of you and I hope this is it!!! No offense but I want you girls to get the heck out of this section!!!

Lucie, I am sending good healthy happy sticky vibes your way Good Luck!!!

Hey squirrel!!!

Girls,I am missing my love honeybee so very much. I cant wait to see her after vacaiton on here!!! Hope she bd'd lots and caught her eggy!!!

Hey Jaimie, glad to hear DH agreed to 3 cycles of IUI. Is it uncomfortable when you go in for that???

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Sara - that is a great idea about sending a fertility idol around. Remember a while ago when I wanted to make a voodoo doll of aunt flo? I think a fertility idol is a better idea : ) I'll try and find one.

Lucie - I will definitely be thinking of you on Friday. I have my ultrasound that day to see how I responded to clomid this cycle.

I miss honeybee too Julia! Really glad she got away with her hubs though, that is so nice. Especially after all those exams she took! IUI isn't the least bit uncomfortable. It is the exact same as a pap smear, no biggie. They use a long, thin catheter with a syringe on one end to push the washed spermie sample past my cervix. I hear what you are saying about your BD plans before Ov. Reality always ends up different than our expectations, huh? How are your opk lines?

 

[tryforbaby2]

I know honeybee needed this vacation and deserves it! I just miss her so much. When you and spoh arent on for long periods of time I miss you guys terribly too!!!
How cool for the ultrasound! I cant wait to hear the good news!!!

Ya know, I have a strong good feeling about honeybee right now. I think all the stress relief and having a wonderful vacation while she is Oing will make for a bfp!!! I cant get her out of my head this week. I cant wait to see!!!

AFM, I am CD19, I think. My CM has dried up for the most part and my cervix is medium/medium, my temp went .44 degrees (F) higher this morning, so I am assuming I O'd yesterday or the day before. Waiting for cross hairs to appear on my chart. Cant wait to see them since this is my fisrt time temping and using FF. I had a major headache today, its finally gone now. Whats everyone up to??

 

[soph77]

Af got me this morning, awful cramps, had a fight with my husband last night
Today already SUCKS!!! grrrrrrrrrr stupid witch.
Julia did you get much bd in?

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Oh Soph - that does suck righteously. I had quite a bit of fussin' with my hubby last weekend during AF too, so I can relate. Lots of love coming your way xo

 

[Ejay]

Soph that is one evil witch, I can't believe she arrived, sending you some big

Jaimie - I love the idea of a fertility idol, the one in my siggy is from Malta, she is the goddess of fertility, I have no idea why she never seems to have a head though

Lucie - sending loads of good vibes for your hubby

Hiya Squirrel - I'm not sure how many fertility idols vibrate, or look like steamy hot super fit male figures, but if Jaimie can find one like that I am definitely first on the list for a rub

 

[tryforbaby2]

Soph, Damnit! That pisses me off so much that she keeps bothering all of us. Why can't she bother the girls from 16 and pregnant??? And all the girls and women who are too young and/or too immature or irresponsible to be having children.
Damnit!

I am so sorry. Have some wine, or mudshakes or shots of soco lime if you like, whatever comforts you.

I have BD'd three times this whole cycle leading up to O. But then again thats all it took in April and May for me to conceive was three days right before O and thats it, hopefully it'll work again. I also used softcups and elevated my butt for about 20 mins each time.
I started temping this cycle and I am anxious to see exactly when I O'd. My temp elevated today but now I am waiting to see cross hair lines or something like that.
I bd'd CD15, Cd17 and CD18 and I got a pos opk on CD17 with some really intense cramps with a HSO cervix and great CM, yesterday I still had cramps but lighter, so we will see based on my bbt and cross hairs.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

I hope you get a nice clear temp rise Julia. I really like FF when I was using it, until it started getting my hopes up in the 2ww : ) I guess you just have to ignore your temps after you pinpoint O so you don't get your hopes up too much. Three days should definitely cover it.

We've been BDing every other day, just to get the system primed before the IUI : )

Hope you are feeling better Soph - so sorry.

Ejay - I'll try to find a sexy idol for you ; P

 

[SquirrelGirl]

NICE!

 

[tryforbaby2]

Hey all! I am CD20 today and I am in the tww, just dont know how many dpo yet. Waiting for the cross hairs to appear on my chart. My temp rose a little bit more today, so hopefully by tomorrow I will something, how exciting!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

So glad you are getting a nice temp rise Julia. Temping is really neat.

My transvaginal ultrasound aka dildo cam appointment went well this morning. My follies are growing more slowly this cycle, which is a good thing. I think they grew too fast last cycle. My lining is thicker too - so I'm glad for that. I'll have another ultrasound on Monday to see when the IUI should take place. So far I've got three follies on the left and two on the right. My lead follie is only 13mm and it needs to be around 18mm or so before I take the trigger shot to induce ovulation.

 

[Ejay]

Hey Tryfor, I really liked doing the temping, it gives you a bit of comfort to see things doing what they are supposed to.

Jaimie - your dildo cam sessions are very educational for me, fingers crossed for this cycle x

well I am just waiting for AF to arrive, been really down and grumpy today, nearly burst into tears at Costa coffee today over tickets for a Bon Jovi concert my sister was trying to organise.

AF due on tuesday, I just wish it would hurry up and get here.

A friend of my Mums is a reflexologist, I am going to give her a call next week to talk things throgh with her but she seems to think she can help, even if it's just to help me cope a bit better during the 1ww.

On a good news note, the Physio came to see Molly my pony today, this is about the fourth session, she has improved so much I can start to ride her again, just walking at the moment. I am so pleased, I have really missed our quiet rides out together.

Hope everyone is doing well xx

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Sorry to hear you are feeling so emotional Ejay - I really hate that in the lead up to AF. Every time it happens to me now I think how emotional LuckyD was just before her BFP...

I'd really like to have some reflexology work done - maybe I'll look into it too.

Really glad to hear about your pony. When I was in high school I had a pony named christopher and I would hitch him up to my pony sized sulky and we would tear around the country roads and fields near my house. I miss those days!

DH's operation went well this morning. We got up around 4:30 so we could be there by 6am. My aunt and uncle drove 45 mins to be at our house at 5:30 so they could go with us. That was my saving grace. I would have been an absolute wreck without them.

Poor dh is in a lot of pain. The dr gave his some pain meds that seem to be helping a bit. I feel really guilty because I made a hair apt for tomorrow morning (don't know what I was thinking). I've asked a friend to come sit with him because I really don't want to leave him alone. He is having a hard time doing anything by himself.

He has an apt Thursday for a follow up, and the dr mentioned today that he will have to have a SA done in 3-4 months. He will also start the clomid as soon as he feels better.

Thanks for all the good thoughts/positive vibes, they helped!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Hugs to you and your hubs Lucie! Really hope he isn't in pain for long. That sucks : ( Definitely hope he heals soon and that the SA results are worth all this!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Evenin' ladies!

Well my weekend started off with a bang! Went to the chiropractor, got a massage, then got into a car accident on my way home. GRRRRRRR I got cited for improper lane usage. I didn't see the car in the turn lane I wanted to be in and her car scraped down the side of mine.

Fortunately, my car has what looks like mostly just her paint on it and no real damage. Hers... well.... There's a reason why steel cars are better than plastic ones! Busted bumper and quarter panel, and the hood no longer sits quite right.

I'll be less than pleased if my insurance rates go up because of this! This is the first accident I've ever been at fault in, and I've never had a traffic ticket before... Booooooooo to basically flushing $120 down the toilet! But anyway, super glad no one was hurt and it was minor.

Everything sounds great Jaimie!! Isnt so neat how they can do all that amazing stuff like ultrasounds on the follies??? Awesome!
Keep us posted!!

I hate the pre-af blues but just like Jaimie said, LuckyD was emotional and she got her bfp! Do you test before af is due???
Glad to hear Molly is much better!

for you and DH. Must be painful. All the healing and happy vibes being sent his way! Ad, of course, baby dust to you! I cant wait to hear his progress, especially after the surgery and then with the clomid!!! I hope everything works out great and he wont have to do the SA in a few months!

OMG!!! Talk about luck eh??? Well, I hope your insurance rates dont go up, but like you said, so glad no one was hurt!!

How are you on your cycle?

 

[tryforbaby2]

AFM, CD21 and FF pinpointed my O date as CD18, which is pretty normal for me pre-mc/pregnancy! So exciting! We bd'd CD15, CD17 and CD18 and FF says my chances of pregnancy based on just BDing alone are high. Hope its right. I never knew that once your temp goes up, it means there is no need to bd for ttc since you cannot get pregnant once your temp goes up.

If I get pregnant this cycle my due date will be 6 months after my due date with baby Jordan....fingers crossed!!!

Hey when is Honey coming back from her vacation???
