Kimmers*** i saw your chart..... is this promising , or no??????!!! hope you had a great get-a-way. ↑

Hi ladies!! Wow I have been busy doing some heavy reading! I hope I keep it all straight coming from FEB. **DJ** So sorry AF came!! What a bummer. Do you think you and DH will go back to clomid this month? I have decided that if this month doesn't work for us, I will start clomid again next month. What did Cheri predict for you, again? **Sarah**What are the results of the blood work? **Kimmer**Do you have family in Cleveland? I was up in PA just across the border from there this weekend... Your chart looks like you have some high temps--that's good, right? You mentioned your dr giving you the go ahead on starting your cycle again, but I am confused since your temps are so high? **PL**What CD are you on? You have the patience of a saint! **Fatso** Do you temp? I can't remember. EWCM is the best indicator of OV, but I have it often, so for more it doesn't work. I temp b /c that works best for me. If your insurance covers it, you may want to still keep your appointment. If not, and you're sure you didn't ov, you may want to reschedule. I hear w/o insurance these trips can be pricey. Sorry if I missed anyone! I read through everything but going from one month to the n ext I may have missed someone inadvertently. As for me, a drama filled weekend. Thank goodness I o'd before we left or it may have been delayed AGAIN!! Here I am, cd 33 and only 5 dpo, can you believe it? I have decided I will wait until March 15th to test. I think for me, deciding on a date helps me get through this horrifically long wait!! Even longer since I didn't even O until cd 28 (ridiculous). Anyway ladies, hope things are going well! Have a good day!! ↑

Hey girls. No, I don't think it's promising...I'm actually taking progesterone (prometrium right now to get af started so I can start again). But, thanks for looking :) How are you feeling sarah? Any word on your BW? I hope it's crazy high....twin girls, perhaps :) ***DJ - so sorry about af...I hate her, but it is a new chance, a new month, etc. And, I'll be about a week behind you! ***hoping - how was your weekend? I know it might have been stressful, but how are you now? ***PL - I hope you test soon and it's BFP!! I'll be looking for your results. ***fatso and cj - where are you in your cycle now...can't remember. Well, talk to ya... :) ↑

Sarah~your so sweet! I still pop in every single day and read about how everyone is doing...I'm addicted :). I waiting for your BW to come back so you can tell us some fabulous news!! DJ~So sorry AF showed up sweetie! As for me....well...nothing to report. AF is due on the 8th, but I'm not expecting it since I didn't take any meds. I do not O without medication. If I'm not on meds, I only have AF 1-2 times a year with no O. I want to lose another 20 pounds(I've lost 46 since TTC!!), and then try again. Maybe towards the end of summer we will start again, who knows. I'm going to get all the tests done for me and DH this time around though to make sure there are no problems. I will ALWAYS pop in here and read whats going on....so don't worry!! You girls have become friends, and I hope you all stay too....even after your BFP!! Baby Dust to everyone!! ↑

Hi Ladies!! so the nurse called me this afternoon and said "i have the results of your BW".... and im like--oh good. She says....."your pregnant". and im like "AND"...... well, i told her, i was expecting more information since i already knew i was pregers. SHe said that the "girl" didnt request all the Betas and progesterone and whatever. what a dip *hit! That was my whole reason to make an special trip!!!!!!!!! I remember seeing the words "pregnancy labs" on the sheet. so she said they can call back to the lab and ask for that information. I was like good.... cause i think my progesterone is really low and im constantly spotting. SOOOOOO she said they will call me tomorrow. SO another day we wait. UGH. ********ANON************ im excited to hear from you:-) happy to hear you read all the time too. WOW, youve lost a lot of weight girl!!! Im super jealous. i personally need to lose at least 60 lbs to be in my healthy range.... and now that im pregnant.... im a little worried (your thinking--why didnt she just lose it before ttcing--ive been overweight allllllll mylife!!). So i decided to im going to try and follow the Gestational Diabetes diet which is totally safe-- and could even get me to not gain much of anything. I cant really afford to gain more then like 20-25 lbs..... otherwise i will be super uncomfortable. Please share your secret for weight loss-- that is an amazing amount so you must have something good to share. ANyhoo- isnt this your first cycle off meds????????????? i wonder if it helped you O like it did for me.???? You sound so positive and that is great. Did you contact Cheri22 TOO??? Just trying to get an update to see if shes accurate!! LOL Have a great night and hope to chat soon. ↑
Name: sarah35 | Date: Mar 3rd, 2008 6:18 PM
DJ*** what a hottie you and your hubby are!!! wow, thanks for sharing:-) Your not what i expected i guess. Im too nervous to show you guys my pics.... but anytime you wanna see my boys-LOL. My older DS has done some modeling job. Hes done work for Kmart (weekly add), 2 toy company BOXs ( one pics is on the internet....i will get the link). i will post some real pics one day soon so I can brag. Maybe i iwll find one where i look skinny.... may take a while-LMAO ↑
Name: anonlady | Date: Mar 3rd, 2008 7:08 PM
Okay, am I missing something? Where are these hot pics?? haha. Sarah~Gosh, what a retard! Hopefully you will get some results in tomorrow...and get ya started on some progesterone! I have been up and down in my weight since a child. I go to a size 6, then get up to an 18, and back down to an 8.....just all over the place. I have no secret really....I eat what I want in small portions. I only eat 1-2 times a day, I hardly eat fruits and veggies, I LOVE carbs, and I eat out 3 times a week....good advice huh? haha! Atleast I'm honest :). The only thing I did was take Phentermine(sp?) for one month, and since then the weight has just been coming off and it made me eat a whole lot less. I had to switch to 3 doctors to get that drug prescribed, but it does work, and it gives you tons of energy. I only did it for 30 days though....then we TTCed, so of course I stopped! I try to run 3 miles(20 mins on an elliptical 3 times a week! EASY!). I stopped drinking soda too, and stopped eating fast food, and cook dinner at home Monday-Thursday. I also try to eat as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning so it gets my metabolism going....I use to not eat until the afternoon!! That's about it for me! As for Cheri, she was wrong with me. Cheri told me OCT. I did not conceive in OCT and if it was my EDD I would have conceived Jan/Feb. So she isn't always right, bummer! Yes, this is my first cycle off meds, and I'm pretty sure I did not O. Oh well, I'm taking a break and working on my body...so I'm going to stay positive :) ↑

hey guys, just popping in. Make sure you take a look at the Feb site--there's some news on there from PL! ↑
Name: Hoping1 | Date: Mar 3rd, 2008 9:37 PM
Hi everyone!! Congrats Sarah on the bloodwork Confirmation. And Congrats PL!! I hope you find us!! I am not seeing these pictures either. Are you still posting regularly DJ, b/c I think I have missed a few of them (as in not coming up when I load the page). I would love to put a face to the name, too! Anyway, **Anon** You have a great positive attitude about things! I think about you often and am glad to know I'm not the only one addicted to this site :). **Kimmers**Forgot to mention earlier, but thanks for starting the new month.. when will you start your new meds and start a new cycle? **Have a good day ladies!! ↑

Hi girls, finally I find u all... this is what I posted on Feb: BFP BFP BFP BFP BFP!!!!!!!! Finally I did the test this morning... I can't believe my eyes, the line shown up right away & very dark!! dh & I did the test together, yesterday night I couldn't sleep at all, this morning while waiting for my dh come back from yoga, I was sooooo nervous, absolutely scariest thing to do ever. Anyway, I just came back from Blood test, will make an appoinment to see my doc now.... IT IS A MIRACLE!!! Thank you everyone here for being sooo supportive all this months, I really appreciate everything. Cheri is slightly off, since she predicted DEC, my EDD would be about early NOV, my first af started on 26/1. **Sarah** I'm right behind you!!! lets hope for the best for our baby. **DJ** it is weird that I couldn't see ur post, but from everyone's response, sorry about the af.... March seems like a lucky month, so g/l dear!! **Fatso** If u O'ed before doc appointment, they are still able to measure ur follie size, because they can see the shadow of the follie after it rupture. ********LOTS & LOTS OF BABY DUST TO EVERYONE******** = ↑

I found you!!! **PL** I'm soooo happy for you. You really deserve it - and you will make a fantastic mum xx Same goes for you too Sarah - I don't think you have anything to worry about - just take it one day at a time **Kimmers** as for me i'm currently on CD17, and I think 7/8 days past ovulation- so still a bit of a wait!! The only thing different with me this month is that my nips been sore since I o'ed - that isn't normal!! **Babydust to all** ↑
Name: Fatso | Date: Mar 4th, 2008 4:51 AM

Name: Teddyfinch | Date: Mar 4th, 2008 6:23 AM
well, i've been taking opk tests twice a day since my trigger shot to make sure the lines stay nice and dark. i figure if they stay dark for longer than 2 weeks after my shot, that's a good sign right? well, i took one tonight and i dunno if me having had a few sodas had anything to do with it, but the test line was fading. that was weird because earlier today the test line was nice and strong. oh well =\ i won't get my hopes up. i suppose i have more important things to worry about. i'm hoping my hubby gets the job he's been going after. well, if anything changes, i'll let you ladies know, but for now i think this month's a bust. progesterone check is on the 6th but i'm not expecting a miracle here lol. ↑

regarding DJ's pics--- there on her fertility friend site..... i will let her post the link when she comes on. I just happened upon them by accident as i was obsessing over other peoples charts :-) ↑
Name: Teddyfinch | Date: Mar 4th, 2008 6:48 AM
hey does anyone know if a trigger shot will force ovulation? and what's the failure rate of trigger shots? i'm pretty bummed that the test line is fading. i mean it's only been 4 days since my shot. i would have thought the hormones would have still been there from the shot. ↑

Fatso** sendin you tons of O dst ************** `~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ****************** !!!!!!!!!!! ****CJ**** send you lots of baby dust on your 2ww~~~~~ *********************************. ANON****** I think ive tried that drug years ago. didnt they use to prescribe it with something else..... wasnt it called Fen Phen or something?????? I do remember it working but we had to find a doc that had it--- cause it was controversial. I would love to take a pill to help me..... but DH dosent want me to take anything else cause ive tried so many things. Worst one was (its called ALLI now over the counter) called Zenical..... made me shit my pants.. No joke.... dh had to pick me up from work (1999) cause i went to fart a little and poop came out. NEVER did i take them again-- send them to my sis....LOL. my sis has since had gastric bypass and so shes no longer in the chubby club. ***HOPING****** you feeling anything???? 2ww sucks for sure. im crossing everything for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! much baby dust all around************************** ********************* ↑
Name: Fatso | Date: Mar 4th, 2008 7:15 AM
Thanks for all that Baby dust..:-) I also tried Xenical just before i got married, was terrible, just took it for a week. I jus needed to lose about 4 to 5 kg. After my first MC it took me 8 months to lose my weight. Now at least ive lost most of my weight.. Just started eating healthy. No cooldrinks. No Fried Chips. If i wanted chips id bake them. Very little oil in cooking. ↑

Hello, I need little help with this basal temp. My temp dropped to normal pre-O levels already two days ago and its been 16 days now since my Ovulation...and no feelings what so ever that AF is coming. Should i test or this is pointless because of my temp?? ↑
Name: Fatso | Date: Mar 4th, 2008 7:22 AM
***Iriak*** From what i know the temps are supost to increase if preg, maybe you should just do the test, or you can just wait a while.. Sorry.. ↑
Just to join in, I also tried Xenical before my wedding. I used it for 4.5 months and lost over 3 stone. But just like you Sarah if i ate anything and farted it would come our bright orange!!! I constantly had to have a bottle of bleach in the bathroom coz it stained the toilet basin!! Sorry if TMI xxxx ↑
Name: Teddyfinch | Date: Mar 4th, 2008 7:49 AM
um, about my question above? can anyone help me out there? ^^ ↑
