Well girls....looks like things are going well so far!! Heidi, o'ing on your sister's birthday I think is a really positive sign and I can't wait to hear your results soon!!! You're in the dreaded tww but it's going to be worth it!! Naomi, how are you doing?? I hope that DH starts feeling well soon and you can do some more bd'ing soon. I am still waiting to O and thank God I haven't yet since we haven't bd'd yet lol We have both been so tired but I have great news!!! DH finally got his vacation approved so we're off next week and I will be o'ing some time next week so i'm SUPER pumped!!! He just found out last night so I can't wait. It's also our anniversary so it's gonna be the best week ever. We may go up to my aunts cottage for the week but not sure yet. It's funny b/c when we were talking about it today I kept thinking....but they don't have internet there ..how am I going to update the girls on O day or my temps lol we'll see what happens. We're going to decide either tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Nothing else new to report. I don't know if I told you guys or not but I started taking even primrose oil to improve cm....hopefully that helps too but I'm going to buy preseed in the next couple days. I'm going all out this cycle lol I'll check in with you guys later but remember... this month will start the BFP...talk soon.....Kel ↑

Heidi, Coool - I really hope this is it. Did you tell your sister about your o date? I knew I should have put money on Sunday! Kelly LMAO at you not wanting to go to a place with no internet connection. Much and all as we'd LOVE to know all the gory details of o time, we will try to survive til you get back :-) I'll be interested to see how the preseed works for you. I thought I'd have cm problems on clomid but so far it's been the opposite - gushing! That's so exciting about your holidays. If anyone deserves a break, you two do. So after all my slagging of dh, when I got home from work yesterday he says, aren't we still in the green zone? So i said, yeah but it doesn't matter, we can write this month off....that was enough, dh made a trojan effort and we got a bd session in last night! bless him! mind you, given his fever, I don't know how many boys would have survived. Got a big temp rise today so I reckon i o'd yesterday but we'll try to bd one more time today to cover the basis! So heidi, we're in the 2ww together - yay! Talk later ladies. Sprinkles of the sparkly stuff.... ↑

Good morning ladies! Kelly - I am sooo excited for you that you get to go on vacation with your dh! You guys totally deserve to go! and trust me, my mini-vacation during ov time last weekend was fantastic! I know what you mean though re being out of touch without internet access - I actually hung out with my in-laws way more than I normally would have because I wanted to use their computers! It's bad enough now that i don't have one at home and will be out of touch this weekend for two days. It's crazy how much I have come to rely on you two to keep me sane! 8) Naomi - glad to see that dh made the effort to get it on! Based on your jump today, I'd agree that you ov'd yesterday. Welcome to the other side - the tww from hell! I am on 4 dpo now. It's wierd, but my bbs aren't nearly as sore as they normally are around this time of my cycle (if I wasn't concentrating, I likely wouldn't even notice they are sore at all right now..) I am hoping this is a sign of something - of what, who knows - but at least it is different than previous months! I had acupuncture this morning again. My vitamin d level finally came back - apparently I am really deficient! My acupuncturist said that this could have something to do with my issues. He suggested I significantly up the dosage of vitamin d that I am taking. We shall see if that helps. Talk to you later! Sparkly shiny baby dust coming your way in the meantime! ↑
Name: Naomi98 | Date: Jun 12th, 2008 10:06 PM
Lol, Heidi, I know what you mean. I know my cycle so well at this stage that I can spot even the smallest difference in the 2ww! So you're low in Vitamin D, huh? Isn't that the one that gets produced by exposure to sunlight? Get that bikini on girl - time to sunbathe lol! I was thinking if this cycle is bust, maybe I should go for the full bloodwork. I only ever got progesterone tested but I didn't do any other hormone checks. Looks like cd13 was o day alright. That's the earliest I ever o'd - yay for Clomid! But now I have terrible cramps. Like the ones I get right as af starts. I'm assuming it's Clomid related. Urgh! And can already feel nipples getting tender - again a Clomid thing but it's mad, I'm only 2dpo. This cycle will drive me crazy I can already tell - so many s/e of clomid mimic pregnancy symptoms. You girls got to keep me off the ledge for the next 2 weeks! So my 5-month pregnant friend I told you about is arriving today. I REALLY hope she doesn't try to talk ttc to me. I don't know what I'm gonna do if she does but I"m afraid I'll get ratty at her. I think she understands though - she was trying for a long time too. Another friend of mine just had a baby girl at age 47! can you believe it!? I don't know if it was a natural pregnancy or not but it's amazing. Kelly, where you at woman? Have you decided where to go on holidays and more importantly, does it have internet connection?! Twinkly sparkles x ↑

Afternoon ladies! Well, my day at work has been insanely busy! I am breathing a sigh of relief as I finished a big project a few minutes ago and can coast for the next 13 minutes until I can leave for the weekend - yay! Not much is new with me. My bbs are a teensy bit sore once in a while but nothing major. It could be because last cycle I went out and bought new 'post-ov' bras that actually fit (it is insane - my bbs go up a whole size within 2 days of ovulating!!! - not that I am at all complaining since I am normally not well endowed at all!) I also have some cramping off and on, but nothing even remotely like when AF comes. Naomi - sorry to hear that your cramps are so much worse! I hope things ease up for you over the weekend! Plus, I hope you have a great time with your friend! Kelly - have you chosen your vacation spot yet??? Anyway, you won't hear from me again until Monday so I hope you both have a great weekend. Even though I won't be checking in, I will be thinking of you both! Lots and lots of sparkly shiny baby dust to you both! ↑

Hey Ladies...we had an awful storm tonight and lost power for awhile. The storm isn't over so I'm gonna have to be quick and post more tomorrow. I talked DH into NOT going up to the cottage lol I have a doc appointment that I would have had to cancel and I just wanna be close to home...plus my parents are coming for a visit on wednesday so it would only have been for a couple days...I'm happier just being at home. I'm sooo jealous that you girls are in the tww but I'm hoping to O soon and join you all Naomi, sorry that your s/e are like pregnancy but great that you o'd early with the clomid.. that's fantastic!! I'm glad your cycle isn't a bust. I'm a ctually talking to my doc about doing some more blood work on monday and I want to get my throid levels tested...we'll see what happens. Hopefully this is your lucky month. Heidi, how are you feeling?? I sooo hope that you girls start us off...first you heidi and then Naomi and I'll be next. How fun would it be to enter this journey together!! The storm is still really bad and I need to shut the puter down. I promise I'll check in tomorrow night after work and see what's going on. loads of the sparkly kind lol....Kelly ↑

Hey girls, glad you're both doing well. Kelly keep the head down til that storm passes! Well we had a really nice night with our friend. She was very tactful - no questions about us. She told us that her partner is really not into the pregnancy at all. When she told him she was pregnant, he turned away and said "I'm happy for you". Can you believe that? DH is furious with him. We've never much liked him but that's the final straw. She just seems so unhappy when she should be enjoying every minute of it. It's horrible. Anyway, enough about that. Heidi, LOL at you buying a post-o bra. I wish I went up a size or two after o! Kelly, nice that we'll have contact with you during the holidays! We would miss you terribly even though I didn't want to say that before :-) Guess what? We got a new kitten yesterday. She is so cute, half Egyptian, half Lao. So we've called her Cleopatra! Our other cat is determined to murder the poor little thing but I hope they'll be friends eventually! Hope you're all having a nice sparkly weekend!! x ↑

Hey ladies...had a nice visit with my Dad today and just getting home. DH has to work tomorrow (ggrr) but I just smiled and said ok lol We bd'd last night and he's waiting for me to come to bed so I gotta make this quick....I'm sooo glad to not be going away lol I need you girls to obsess with about my temps (which are a tad higher this month which makes me excited) Have my appointment tomorrow with doc and I'll come back and letcha know how it went. Cute kitty Naomi!!! Sounds adorable...lil Cleo...she is your fur baby until your real baby is born lol How are you feeling??? in the ttw? Any feelings of possible pregnancy? I'm glad that you had a nice visit with your friend although I think it's very sad that this isn't the happiest time of her life. I always try to remember that even though I have my stuggles I am very blessed in my life and I know that when I get pregnant I will have the best dad for my lil one and the most supportive family....very sad and I hope things get better for her. Maybe things will change once he holds that lil one in his arms. Some men just freak out when it comes to pregnancy!! Heidi, how are you doing? I know you don't post on the weekend....when is a/f NOT coming for you?? Hopefully things are going well with you both. I'll catch you up more on stuff tmorrow....gotta get a shot of the sprakly stuff before I fall asleep (lmao).....talk later...miss you girls Kel ↑

Morning ladies - I'm back! I had such a nice and relaxing weekend I am sad that it is over! Friday night I went to a friend's place for a potluck bbq with all our friends. On Saturday I went shopping with my mom to pick out something for my dad for father's day. On Sunday I did the circuit of father's day activities (parent's, grand-parents' and in-laws). What was funny was that I was the only child at my in-law's place - my dh has three other siblings and not one of them (or my dh) was in town. LOL. Anyway, now I am back at work thinking about how this week is going to drag by! I cannot wait for the weekend - my brother, sister-in-law and 2 nieces (one's 5 and one turns 2 in a few days) will be visiting (they live in the USA). I am sooo excited to see them! As for me, no symptoms to report - I am really worried that yet another cycle will be a bust! Naomi - you have GOT to get a BFP to keep the hope alive!!!! Are you experiencing any symptoms? How many DPO are you? (I am 8). Your kitten sounds adorable!!! You are so luck - I am allergic to cats. Otherwise, I'd own a bunch! Kelly - any sign of ov yet??? What are you going to do to keep yourself busy while you are on vacation? Make sure to get in a lot of baby dancing at least!!! hee hee! Sparkly baby dust to you both! ↑
Name: kellywall | Date: Jun 16th, 2008 5:14 PM
Hey girls!!! Heidi, welcome back. Sounds like your weekend was so much fun and probably just what you need!! Don't count yourself out this cycle....your temps are still high and you don't always have symtpoms right away...just keep staying positive...it's going to happen for all of us!! Naomi, your chart is looking good too!! Nice job hitting the big O so early...gotta love clomid huh!! any side effects from it yet? I really hope not. Hopefully you will both get your bfp soon!! Dh had to work today but only half the day. We went and did some errands and went to the mall and bought some stuff. Our 3rd anni is tomorrow so we're going to celebrate by stayiing bed most of the day...only get up to shower and go out for dinner to the site of our first date...I can't wait!! I had a big dip in my temp this morning...hoping and praying it's my usual pre-o dip. How amazing would it be to conceive on our anniversary!!! Girls...I really think it's going to happen this month....praying and wishing but everything seems to be falling into place. My parents are coming down on wednesday to hit some of the farmers markets and have dinner here so that should be fun. It'll just be nice to have some time together and not have to go anywhere yanno. well...I'm off to nap (b/c I can lol) and then some more bd'ing tonight. I'll try and check in tonight girls but if not sometime tomorrow. LOADS of sparkly, shiny, sticky baby dust....talk soon....Kelly ↑

Hi ladies, sorry I've been MIA. I was out in the provinces yesterday monitoring some field research. I found this great little shop in a village selling the weirdest local delicacies. They had these bright pink pickled eggs and strips of some kind of animal skin - don't ask me what and loads of little cakes made from rice and grilled. I tried the eggs and the cakes but skipped the skin lol! Glad you both had nice weekends celebrating father's day. I spoke to my dad on Sunday and completely forgot to wish him a happy father's day. It's not such a big thing in Ireland but still - oops. Kelly it sounds like you're having such a great holiday. Your plans for today sound perfect! And that is one serious dip you've got on your chart so I hope you're making the most ofthat day in bed ;-) I really hope this is your month - it'd be so great to conceive on your anniversary. heidi don't put the pressure on me - it's YOU who has to get the BFP this cycle! I know what you mean about thinking the month is already bust. I woke up this morning and was like, oh man, I have to wait another 10 days for af so I can start again. Anyways, 6dpo and no symptoms apart from the usual sore boobs. OK, gotta go. Cleo is super cute but still hasn't learned how to retract her claws and is now ripping my NEW work trousers to shreds! Talk later ladies, sparkles for you both x ↑
Name: irregularfrustration | Date: Jun 17th, 2008 11:37 AM
Morning ladies. So, I truly think that my body hates me. I haven't slept properly in 3 days - every 45 to 1 hour I get up to pee - this happens to me sometimes, nothing related to pregnancy. Besides being exhausted, I am now utterly unable to truly trust my temps. If today's temp is actually accurate (definitely less than 2.5 hours of sleep prior to taking, possibly less than 2 - just lost track of how many times I woke up), then I am out this cycle again. Plus, it feels like I have another ovarian cyst which is just waiting for the most inopportune time to rupture. ARGH! But enough about me...Kelly - if that isn't a pre-ov dip, I don't know what is!!!!! That would be awesome if you did ov on your anniversary!!! Naomi, not sure if I'd be as brave as you are trying the foods! Your job sounds amazing though! As for the waiting game - I will keep you company! Because of the temp drop, I am 99% certain I am out for yet another cycle - onto cycle 8 (month 9) for me... ↑
Name: Naomi98 | Date: Jun 17th, 2008 9:47 PM
Damn heidi, sorry the temps went down. I hate those temp drops. They're so depressing. I'm a nervous wreck every morning when I temp in the 2ww. let's see what today brings for you. Kelly, lol, I suppose we shouldn't expect to hear from you for a while ;-) Hope you're having fun though! The rainy season has started here and yesterday when I was walking to the office, the puddles were so big I had to lift up my trousers to wade through and just as I got to the other side I dropped my computer bag into a pile of mud. You can imagine the look on everyone's face when I arrived in the office lol. So I've decided to avoid the commute and just work at home instead today. Twinkly dust at you girls...x ↑
Name: irregularfrustration | Date: Jun 18th, 2008 11:22 AM
Naomi - that sucks that you dropped the bag! Did you manage to clean it off? How long does the rainy season last? Does it pour the whole time? I don't think I could handle continuous rain for more than just a few days...Well, my temp yesterday (if it was accurate) was 36.9 and it was the same again today. So, if going by previous cycles, I am on my way to getting AF for sure. However, I am debating about trying to convince myself that maybe the acupuncture would affect the temps enough that I might still be in the running...on the one hand, at least I'd still have hope for a day or two. On the other hand, I'd still likely just have the same disappointing let down in two days anyway and should maybe just deal with the sadness now...I HATE the tww!!!!! Are you experiencing any new symptoms???? Kelly - I hope you are having tons of fun and lots of lovin (ha ha) on your vacation!!!!! Shiny sparkly baby dust to you both!!! ↑
Name: kellywall | Date: Jun 18th, 2008 7:12 PM
Hey ladies!!! How are you both doing? I know I haven't been around but we have been making the most of our vacation. I think either yesterday or today is o day. I don't usually have alot of cm but since taking the EPO is has totally improved that so I'm really thinking today is O...but no real o pains to speak of so I don't care. We're bd'ing like teenagers lmao I have been temping but haven't updated my chart...I'll try and do that tonight. Heidi, sorry that your temp dropped but it could be an implantation drop....not trying to give you false hope but don't count yourself out yet....especially since you're getting up to pee a few times at night??!! naomi, I applaude you for trying new foods because I am sooo not good at that at all. I'm sorry you dropped your bag though...what a pisser. The raini makes me kinda moany lol hopefully the sun will shine soon. Are you feeling anything?? My parents just left and I have to do some dishes before any more bd'ing tonight lol I'll check in tomorrow b/c dh has some errands to run so I'll have some time. sprakly dust to you both....Kelly ↑
Name: Naomi98 | Date: Jun 18th, 2008 8:53 PM
Hey Heidi, rats on the temps. But there's no spotting on anything right? I'm always hopeful til i see spotting and then I know I'm bust. Here's hoping for a last minute temp hike to keep you in the running. Kelly no need to apologise for not checking in on your well-earned holiday! Sounds like you and dh are determined to make it happen this month. I'm just like you with the rain - it's so depressing. It's been raining here non-stop for over 2 days now, I'm going out of my mind! I'm 8dpo and nothing to report apart from a bit of a temp jump. But I've had one or two high temps in other cycles so not getting excited about that! laters ladies x ↑

Heidi sweeetie, I saw from your chart that af arrived yesterday :-( Damn, hope you're ok and it's not too painful. Your chart last cycle reminds me of one or two of mine. My Dr spotted them straight away because of the peak and then the fairly quick drop off - he said it happened to everyone once in a while that the progesterone levels just don't quite get up to where they should be and drop off too soon. He didn't seem worried about it, just thought you'd be interested to know. Anyways, hope you're ok...Kelly, you need to UPDATE your chart lol! I'm dying of suspense here woman! Sparkly babydust at ya x ↑

Hi girls! I hope you dont mind if I join you! My name is Lerin..Im 23...married for two years...from IL. Finally diagnosed with PCOS in October after trying for over a year naturally. We are on metformin and will be starting clomid soon. Had, I guess, a chemical in Feb..tons of positves and then af on cd 11. Started watching my irregular cycles more closely and see that my lp is only 10-11 days. SO! Trying natural prog cream this cycle on my own just to see if it makes any difference. On 6dpo so we will see it makes any difference, although, I know it takes time to work! ↑
Name: kellywall | Date: Jun 20th, 2008 9:29 AM
Hey Ladies!!! I know I've been a total slacker with my c hart but I finally updated it all but ff isn't showing that I o'd at all. I think that problem is that we bd'd the one time at 4 am (lol, dh woke me up for a "treat" he said, tmi i know lol) and then i temped at 7 like i always do so if you guys could take a look at my chart and see what you think that would be great. Heidi, I looked at your chart was saw that a/f showed her ugly face. I really am sorry. I'm disappointed for you and I hope you're handling it ok and that it's not to painful like the last one. Just remember, it will happen for us. Keep thinking positive thoughts even though it may be hard. We're all in this together!! I'll be thinking about you. Naomi, chart still looks good and no spotting yet....good job!! I'll be stalking your chart for the next couple days to see how that turns out. Lerin, welcome to our lil thread. What is metaformin and is it for your PCOS? I'm sorry to hear about your chemical. I had a m/c in June of 2006 and haven't fallen pregnant since. TTC is a hard journey and we'll be happen to share it with you ↑
Name: kellywall | Date: Jun 20th, 2008 9:32 AM
Sorry lol...I hit the submit to soon. Are you charting? I have found that it really helps to pinpoint the big O. You are more then welcome to chat with us....we're supportive and try not to obsess to much about signs and symptons of pregnancy. I have a short LP and am on prometrium for it. So far it has helped give me a couple extra days. Listen girls, cant stay long. DH is taking me to Niagra on the Lake....our special place and so beautiful. I can't wait but I'll check in later and if you get some time...please take a look at my chart. talk soon and sparkly baby dust!!! Kelly ↑
Name: LN030905 | Date: Jun 20th, 2008 10:29 AM
Thanks Kelly! The metformin is for the PCOS. Met is usually given to diabetics to stabalize their hormones. I am not insulin resistant, but since PCOS and diabetes can go hand in hand..several PCOS patients are given it..and it does help! Nope, Im not charting. I have tried it but my sleep patterns are so eratic that its difficult. I have vey long cycles..since my m/c they have been a month and 28 days long. We are leavign for vacation one week from today so I just KNOW that af is going to show up right at the beginning! GR! It is so dreary here today..rainy. I am throwing a bridal shower this weekend..lots to do so I can stay on long. Lots to do! I hope you have a great time. Where exactly is Niagra on the lake?? Have fun! ↑
Name: irregularfrustration | Date: Jun 20th, 2008 2:07 PM
Hi ladies. So, I changed it from AF to spotting but I know that it is basically the beginning of AF (just brown/pink CM for now, tomorrow it will be full on - and my MD told me a long time ago to chart day 1 as when the red arrives)...tmi...anyways, I have NOT been in the best of moods suffice it to say. Hopefully I will perk up soon. I am actually going to be out of communication for the next full week - I am going to a conference for work for the week and won't have e-mail access at the hotel. Naomi - your chart looks really promising! I hope to come back to a BFP from you! Kelly - I'd bet that you ov'd on Monday and that ff will come to its senses soon...LN030905 - welcome!!!! Baby dust to you all!!!! ↑
Name: Naomi98 | Date: Jun 20th, 2008 8:00 PM
Can anyone else NOT sleep in at the weekends? it's so annoying - it's before 7am and I'm up already. Anyways how's everyone. Heidi, so sorry we won't see you for a week :-( Miss you already! Kelly, I've got my money on cd16. I reckon that's why ff hasn't given you the cross hairs yet. Have a great time at your beautiful spot! Lerin welcome to you! I'm 33, Irish but living in Laos in south east Asia. I've been ttc for about 15 months - I am actually starting to lose count lol. I've got low progesterone and a fairly short lp so I'm now on Duphaston after ovulation which works wonders and I started Clomid 50mg this cycle. Enjoy the bridal shower! Why are those kind of parties called showers in the US?! Laters ladies, I'm off to the organic market to get some of their AMAZING organic honey! Have great weekends. Sparkly babydust to you all xx ↑

Hey ladies....I have only a few minutes to stop by. My friends are having a huge bbq out of town and we're staying at my parents for the night and I still haven't packed or done the dishes from our picnic yesterday. Heidi, miss you like crazy when you're gone but have a good time and we'll catch up when you get back. Naomi, nice temps still....and no spotting at 10dpo....so very exciting!! I think and hope you're right about o'ing on cd16. FF drives me NUTS sometimes lol Are you feeling anything right now?? I soooo pray for your bfp this month...we need one on this thread soon!! Lerin, Niagra on the Lake is a lil town outside of Niagra Falls. They have amazing parks and B and B's, carraige rides, it's so fantastic with all of these lil specialty shops and stuff...it's always been a speciall place for Dh and I. Where are you from btw? I am from Toronto, Canada and have been ttc for 14 months (i think lol) after a m/c in June 2006. We had taken some time off after the m/c but are working hard for our bfp!! Sounds fun that you're going away and maybe a/f will stay away will you're on your holiday!! Have you tried charting though? I find it helps even if you're not always waking at the same time. I set my alarm to temp and then go back to sleep so usually it works for me. Naomi, organic honey sounds so wonderful. I love putting honey in my tea. Sorry you didn't get to sleep in but at least you get a nice start to the day. I think we call bridal and baby showers b/c you "shower" your friend with gifts?? (maybe lmao) Lervin, have fun at the shower and check in with us soon!! loads of the sparkly stuff!! ↑

Hi gals! So, I managed to get a few minutes to log onto my parents' computer...first thing I did was update my ff chart and now I checking in with you gals. So, AF arrived in full yesterday evening. Thankfully the cramping has not been nearly as bad this cycle! I was pretty depressed for a few days but am doing better today...my two nieces are in town visiting from the states so they are keeping me happy. Naomi, thankfully I don't have your problem of sleeping in! I do have a bit of a problem falling asleep lately though - it takes hours before I fall asleep - but once i do, I could sleep for ever! Kelly - friends of mine got married in Niagara-on-the-Lake last year (actually at White Oaks but close..) It is soooo beautiful there I am jealous that you get to go whenever! Lerin - my sleep habits are erratic too but I find that if I manage to sleep three hours in a row, I still take my temp regardless of the hour - it has still worked enough for me to know when I ov'd. Also, I buy ovulation strips over the Internet and they let me know when I get my pre'ov surge. Anyways, gotta run - ice cream is calling my names! (I love being at my parents when my nieces are in town - lots of yummy treats! and you know that they say that eating fatty ice cream is actually good for your fertility!!!) baby dust to all of you! I will try to check in again but even if I don't - I will be thinking about you! ↑
Name: Naomi98 | Date: Jun 22nd, 2008 9:56 PM
Lol Heidi, if ice cream improves fertility that is the perfect excuse to buy a gallon tub of Swensens mocha almond fudge!! Kelly your weekend sounds awesome! Your picnic spot sounds wonderful. Canada has been on my top 5 places to visit for a long time now. i need to visit there soon. A good friend of mine is from Whitehorse and the photographs she's shown me of the Yukon are amazing. Well I had a great weekend - a housewarming party on Saturday and then brunch at a friends house on Sunday but .... I'm 99% certain I'm out this cycle. Boobs have stopped hurting which is always a sign that progesterone levels are dropping for me. So expecting af sometime between now and Friday. DH is really upset. he wants to go straight to IUI next month. He told me this last night in bed. I'm not sure, seems like a BIG step to me and we've only given the Clomid one cycle. But I've agreed to see the Dr that did my HSG in a hospital just over the border. I'm pretty sure they can do IUI there and it means we don't have to go to Bangkok. I don't know, what do you think girls? He's so impatient. Part of me agrees with him - I just have no faith left in this happening naturally. I spend a lot of energy just making sure ttc doesn't get me down and I'm tired of doing that. Kelly sorry if this sounds pathetic, I know you've been ttc for so much longer. Why can't optimism come in pill form lol! have a good day ladies .... Kelly give us another temp....I want to see if I backed a winner again! Babydust x ↑

Good morning ladies!! Sorry a/f is here Heidi, she's such an awful witch!! You have earned the right to eat as much ice cream as you want!! When is your appointment again? I think it would be a good idea to ask your doc about getting on clomid. We drove past White Oaks...it's an amazing place...we stayed there once and dh loves to play tennis so we used the indoor tennis courts. It's a cool place. Naomi, anytime you want to come to canada just let me know and you can stay with me!!! We have an extra room with your name on it lol After you have your baby you can come for a visit and Heidi can come with her baby and we'll have a baby shower for all of us lol Well girls I updated my chart and I have to sat that my temps are very weird and kinda low but I'm looking at it positively b/c my temps have never been like this before and ever other month I was never pregnant so we'll see what happens. My boobs are sore and I'm tired but I always feel like this with the prometruim. Naomi, I can understand dh being frustrated but like you said, only 1 month on clomid. Can you try 100mg this month (i think you were on 50 this time right?) Your boobs may have stopped being totally sore but until you see spotting you can't count yourself out yet!! It's a tough call but really, if you're both ready for it then I say go for it but I don't think there is any harm in tryiing another cycle on clomid either. Ttc is such a hard journey but with each other's support...we'll get there and be so thankful for our lil ones. Just remember, tough times don't last, tough peole do!! baby dust ladies.....talk soon...Kel ↑

Thanks for the invite Kelly, that's so sweet. Aren't you a bit worried that I could be a psycho or ax murderer......I'm not though, honestly ;-) Your temps are a bit low but maybe the progesterone is taking a while to build up this time. There's my medical opinion again! I'm just waiting for af now. Don't feel it coming yet so I think it won't be til Friday. That would give me a 15 day lp which is what I've had since I started taking the duphaston. Sigh. The wait is TORTURE!! So we've decided to go to the hospital on Saturday. We need to go across anyway to do some grocery shopping so we'll have a chat with the Dr and see what he says. I really hate the Dr there though. When I had my HSG it was incredibly painful - I was crying and almost threw up with the pain. He told me to stop complaining, that this was nothing compared to labour. I almost screamed at him "when you get a uterus, you can have an opinion about how painful this is"! Anyways, Kelly, don't stay away for too long or our thread will disappear lol! Twinkly babydust to you x ↑

lol...Naomi, I don't think your'e a murderer but that's why i invited you when you have you baby....you wouldn't do that with a baby lmao I'm sorry the tww is takng so long but at least the victory is a 15 day lp!!! That doc sounds like a real ass and you're right...no uterus.. no opinion lol Whatever you decide to do you know that we'll support you. Are you thinking about doing one more cycle of clomid? Have you dh's sperm tested? I think that might be a good idea as well. Do you have any type of coverage for IUI or is it all out of pocket? I really hope that things work out for you both....I think you'll make a great Mom....you'll get your baby...I know you will. Heidi, how are you doing?? Hoping a/f isn't to bad for you. I have to go to bed girls.. I'm soooo tired and my head is pounding...had a trying day at work and just want to get to bed and forget about it lol Hoping my temps will shoot up tomorrow morning.....sparkly baby dust girls.. ↑
