Staci, you're right, your chart doesn't look too pretty today but if you get a high temp tomorrow then I would say "TEST"...Of course I would say that! I say that all the time! Keep your chin up and hopefully AF says very far away! I would be so frustrated if I were in your position...ovulating...waiting to see bfn or BFP!!! the days must be going really slowly! See, i'm never actually in the TWW so I don't really have that suspense...maybe this time though *fingers crossed*

Hey girls! I am so sorry for not posting lately, I have been having way too much going on and cannot keep my head straight : ) lame excuse I know!!! I won't let it happen again. I was hoping to pop back on and have there been some bfp's but I am sure some are on there way, I just have a feeling!!! Bing I am so sorry to hear about your loss...words cannot express how I felt when i read your post and I just want you to know you are in my prayers. Anna I am also so sorry to hear about af! How did your doctor's appointment go? Tonia I really hope this is lucky number 13 for you : ) I can't wait for you to start testing ; ). Staci where are you at again??? Aren't you getting close to testing? You're in my thoughts and prayers girl!!! And my little rockstar angela...I bet you're going to O this month and get to go through the crazy long 2ww!!! I'm thinking about you girls all of the time wondering how everybody is doing. How is the weight loss thing going for everybody??? I have lost 5lbs so far...nothing too exciting, but hey...it's definitely a start! I am still hoping for the 10lb mark by July 31st. We will see!!! I am convinced that while on Clomid it was next to impossible to shed extra pounds. I had to actually stop and count today as to where I am at in my cycle because I gave it up last month as I'm sure you all remember...and so I figured out today is day 11. No opk's or doctor's appointments though so I have really no idea what's going on in there...but that is the way I want and need it to be...at least for right now. DH and I need to have some good lovin' instead of the forced kind : ), and let me tell you how nice that has been! I don't know if it's going to help us in conceiving, but I figure that is up to the man upstairs anyway so why not give this a try. I forgot what real lovin was like!!! Sorry for the tmi but I had to tell somebody, and who better than my girls??? : ) Well I hope the week brings great news for all of you, and I promise I will check in more often again!!! OH and Becca good luck with your testing too!!!!!! Nighty nite girls.

Staci-I don't get twitches, but I get this feeling like af is going to start. It's kinda like a crampy feeling. Lately it's been happening like 1-2 weeks prior to af up to the day of af then the cramps really get started big time. How I met my dh...Well, I was dating a guy and they played on the same hockey team. Well, I started dating a new guy who was in the same group of friends as dh. We only went on a couple dates before we decided that it wasn't gonna work out. He gave me this guys phone # who would be a great match and then he gave my dh my phone #. I called him first and left him a message-he almost didn't call me back. When he did I was in the airport on my way to Orlando for a week. We went on our first date after that, dated for 1 and 2 months before he proposed then we got married 1 and a half years later and now we've been married for 1 year and 3 months. We had too long of an engagement, but I wanted to get married on a specific date April 2nd-which is 6 months away from my bday Oct 2nd. I know I'm weird. Anna-sorry about af...I was really pulling for you this month-your progesterone #'s were awesome! Bing-I know I don't know you that well. But I'm really sorry about what happened. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you get through this time.

Hi Kelly! so good to hear from you and that you are doing well! I think you have a wonderful idea, no dr.s no meds no nothin! I'm glad you and dh are having some good lovin! If the camper's rockin' dont' come a knockin'! Anyway very good to hear from you! Beks i like your story too! everyone has good "how i met dh" story! Angela, I told you it would be sad to look at my chart! I am praying hard for a high temp tomorrow! So far my prayers have gotten me no where, but i think i might throw myself on the floor and throw a tantrum while praying tonight! what a sight huh! LOL! I'm trying to decide if i will want to go through with testing. I may not. I'm to tired of this. If not next month then it's gonna happen when it happens, or not. But i will prob. change my mind a few times before then, so we'll see. I just can't believe i'm going to start again! I can't believe that this thread has had no luck ladies :( it makes me so sad that NO ONE is getting bfp's! Well i need to go wake dh up so he can get ready for work, yuck! Might pop in one more time tonight. if not you all have a good nights rest and a happy tuesday!

Thanks Becca, Kelly and Beks. I think once the actual "event" occurs, it will be easier to move on. It's the waiting that's really killing me right now....kind of like you know a big disaster is going to hit but you don't know when. Staci - I'll be anxiously awaiting your test results since you'll be first! By the way girls, I remembered there was some discussion on this on part 12 and I meant to tell you all this then, but it was regarding bd'ing from behind....but that is the exact position that we got pg from! I just wanted you to know that YES, it works! And I didn't even do the mandatory lie on your back with the legs and hips elevated for 30 minutes position afterward! Also, all those relaxing gla__ses of wine you indulged in Angela are OK! The month I got pg is when I finally relaxed and had a couple gla__ses of wine here and there. Well girls, thank you so much for being there...I can't tell you how much it means to me. I wanted to come on a long time ago and share with you what was happening but I didn't feel it was my place to complain and be one of those whiney pg girls, plus I didn't really know what was going to happen. If all had gone well today I was actually going to post the new u/s and give you all the address to my babysite...which I deleted today. :( Sad, but I thought it was very neccessary to have some closure with that. Anyway, thanks again girls...you're all the best! I'll check in again soon and see how you're all doing. xoxo - wishing you all lots of baby dust....

hi guys... wow, you all post alot in a day ;) its hard for me to read all and figure out who's who, but i'm trying my best :) i am so sorry to hear what you are going thru Bing - i am one of those that m/c'd my first pregnancy to go on to having a healthy one 3 mos. later, i'm sure that will be the case for you... Anna - a few of my friends who were ttc swear that acupuncture did wonders for them as far as releasing some of the stress of the whole process - and one of my good friends works at the fertility clinic that i go to and she swears that alot of her patients have gotten pregnant because of... good luck with whatever works for you! i was wondering - how many of you have done clomid and then iui?? i am going in to see my doc in 3 days and that is one of our options, but i'm not sure what we should do at this point... i had a m/c in 1/06 and have been monitored and had all sorts of test since 2/06 (the only thing that they are concerned about is my low normal progesterone levels so i have to take pills after o'ing) - we just started trying in may, and "reallllly" trying last month - fortunately i've never had a problem getting pregnant when trying (had a m/c 3/03, ds 2/04, m/c 9/05 & another in 1/06) but this time it seems like its taking forever which could also be the fact that my dh is not always there when we need him :( so i'm not sure whether or not i should do this cycle of clomid and just try to go the natural way, or do the iui (and have my dh s/a done at the same time since he hasn't gone in for that)??? can you do iui and bd too??? how long after stopping the clomid (in your cycle) do the sweats and crampiness last?? and i'm praying that the weight loss side effect doesn't happen over here since i've just worked my b___t off these last 4 mos. and lost 21lbs... ikes, i'd be sooo upset!

You are so sweet and wonderful Bing! Thank you for sharing with us. We all sincerely care about you xoxoxoxo. Staci, do I sense a small but real bad att_tude coming on?? : )~ Head up, we are all going to get pregnant soon, we already know we don't get pregnant with out effort. Let's just stay positive and realize that we will all look back on the ttc months with fondness and smiles in the future! We will all never forget each other either......

Diana, great job on the weight loss! The sweats and hot flashes can last for like a week after your last pill, sometimes longer.........I am sorry you have had to go through the m/c's........I do understand that pain as well. I think you should just do clomid first with bding. Yes you can do bding and IUI, in fact they encourage bding as much as you can after the IUI just to increase your chances.

well luckily dh is NOT scheduled for nights until next week, so i'm hoping to take what i can get the natural way regardless of our decision with iui - but its great to know that you can do both... they're most likely going to give me an hcg inj if my follicles look good when i go in - OUCH! so hopefully this combination will work...... i'll keep you all posted, and good luck to all the girls who will be testing soon...... i like to hear that they're are others out there spending lots of $$$ on hpt's just to test early! oh, and the weight loss - WW - its the best!

Speaking of weight loss..my scale is moving in the wrong direction. I did a Pilates DVD tonight and it kicked my b___t. I need to start getting out to the Y more often.

Thanks, Tonia! You guys are such a great support system. Staci - I have to say...please do not get too upset with the temps because sometimes they are not always a good indicator. I don't think I had really high temps when I got my bfp (but of course, that could've been part of the problem)....but just stay positive until you know for sure. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you get a high temp tomorrow. Diana, thank you so much for sharing your experience...it was very comforting for me to know that there's always hope after this. To have to go through it once is hard, but to go through it more than once I can't even imagine. You are so strong. Also, Tonia is right on about the iui/clomid. I actually did two cycles of iui + clomid - both cycles also with the hcg trigger shot and the last cycle also included progesterone suppositories. Bd'ing was mandatory in addition to the iui. Both cycles did not work for me and because I have an aggressive RE, she wanted to move on to injectibles, at which point I decided to stop and take a break. That is the cycle that worked, oddly enough. If you do opt for an IUI, make sure they do the trigger shot so you ensure that you do ovulate. I didn't experience the weight gain with clomid, but I know everyone's talking about working out so here's my recommendation! I highly recommend the Core Secrets workout dvds by Gunnar Peterson...it's all on a exercise ball and it's an awesome, quick and easy workout. You can get them online at the coresecrets.com website or Target now carries the kits. Great way to start a new workout program if you hate running or going to the gym. Sorry, that sounded like an infomerical. I'm going to blame that on the caffeine I've been depriving myself of and then overindulging in today. O.k., I'm off to bed as I'm sure this is going to be a loooong week. Goodnight ladies!

Haha! Staci, that must have been one heck of a tantrum! I cheated and I already looked at your chart...girl, I think that you should test! Bing, you are such a sweetheart and I wish that you didn't have to go through this. Diana, that is awesome that you lost so much weight...I have to say that I am once again jealous! Oh well, at least I haven't gained anymore weight. Diana you are doing a great job keeping up with everyone...I remember how hard it was to remember who everyone is etc but the piczo sites helped me because then I had a face to go with the name. Here's my link: www.piczo.com/soimpatient

Good morning ladies. My temp went up to 97.5 this morning and I felt like I was burning up when I woke up, and my throat is kinda sore. I hope I'm not coming down with something. Ma2Aiden, is your name Diana or is it Daina? I just want to get it right. Staci, I snuck a peak at your chart today too. It looks like it went up a little! That's exciting! Hi Kelly, good to hear from you. Congrats on the weightloss, that is awesome! I haven't been doing too well in that department. I think I serisously gain and loose about 3-4 lbs every month as my cycle comes and goes. Bing, thanks so much for being so supportive of us even in your time of loss. That is soooooo sweet! And it was really nice of you to be sensitive to our struggles of not wanting to complain about your pregnancy, but I think we would probably all agree that we'd love to be here for you, good or bad news! It's just those people who pop in 2-3 times, don't bother to encourage anyone else, and then rub it in our faces that they got a bfp right away, that annoy me. Angela, where are you in your cycle again? Should you be getting close to O soon? I'm only 4 dpo. I have a ways to go. I started using the progesterone cream last night, so that could have something to do with why my temp went up again today. Who knows. Well, gotta get to my work. I'll try to check back in later!

Good morning! DH and I are soooo frustrated with the lab - he has still not been able to find out his s/a results! I'm hoping that my doctor can get the results for us so that we know where to go from here. My appt is this morning at 10:15 so I'll let you all know how it goes. I'm so embara__sed having to go in for an exam while AF is here. Has anyone had to do that before??? I sure hope my doctor has a suggestion on what to do next because I'm out of ideas!

Anna, I don't think they will do the exam while AF is here. You may need to reschedule. That is so annoying about the lab! I was able to get my dh's results in 2 hours after dropping off the sample. It sounds like there is something not right there.

Becca - my appt today is my "post clomid" appt so I have to go in order to get a new prescription. I'm just hoping he won't want to do an exam (the exam is just to make sure there are no cysts). The lab better not have lost his sample b/c dh really didn't want to do it the first time. Also, I hope there was enough ~o b/c he said there wasn't much there!
