Yikes! I haven't had a UTI in a long time either! Maybe your immune system is compromised somehow? Hope it goes away soon. Those things are awful! Ask for those black pills that take away the pain when you get your antibiotics. They work wonders!

Hey ladies!
I didnt realize I needed to follow the forum! haha yes true blonde here!

so excited for this forum! its crazy to see that we are all going through something different but like you said we all want the end goal!

I'm on CD11 waiting to ovulate.... yday and today I've had almost positive opks! :) I just need to get DH on the bding train! haha

Last two cycles on Clomid I would get +opk on cd12 and ovulate on cd14!

so I'm hoping to do the same this month!

UTI's SUCK I haven't had one in like 5 years.... before I was TTC I read that after you have sex if you use the restroom right after it will help with not getting UTI's .... but us TTCers know that you should wait in bed for 20mins hahaha

Oh my I've only had oe uti my whole life! I thought I was going to die lol I started the antibiotics they said it would take a day or two for the symptoms to start receding but mine kept getting worse. Then I got this rash got scared that I had herpes lol only to find out that from the antibiotics I got the mother of all yeast infections!!!! That hurt worse than the damn uti lol I was a mess for about a month and the rash was from the yeast lol what an ordeal! I feel your pain :(

Car stress relay make our lp longer??? I am 16dpo today ad af really hasn't started just very minimal spotting with hardly any cramps :( I've been under A LOT of stress this past week so I don't know if that could have something to do with it or if I'm just broken :( I am running out of medicine too and I've been conserving skipping a day here and there until my appointment jan 8th. I don't know whats wrong I'm hoping they will do another u/s to see if I've grown cysts intead of a baby lol

Fingers crossed for you Miss Kalie :) get hubby in bed give him a few drinks again ;) Hoping the clomid is all you will need for this round :)

Hi girls!

Yeah, UTIs suck! Michelle...I read a heavy dose of antibiotics can cause yeast infections, so I started a probiotic pill yesterday to hopefully combat that from happening. I would hate to get a yeast infection!! That would mean I would have to prolong BDing longer....and I don't want that!!

I got my second in a row negative OPK this afternoon...hopefully this is progress. My temp has been stagnent the last few days....hoping that is a good sign too that hcg is very minimal to gone. This girl wants to ovulate!!

Kalie....does hubby take anything for his low libido? Would he be interested in spicing it up....toys, videos? Unsure of what you both would feel comfy with, but there are small ways to seduce him! :)

Too bad there isn't a "50 Shades of Gray" book for men....LOL. I only read a sample of that book on iBooks and never purchased the rest....but my girlfriends say it gets them in the mood! Did you girls read that book?

Tonight is our son's basketball game at school, then it's home to start wrapping gifts for family and friends. I can't believe Xmas Eve is a week from today.

Anyone have any snow yet? We have been VERY lucky and do not have any. Usually we have at least a foot by now. Love these unusually warm winters...

Well my nausea is officially a stomach bug and not a PG symptom! Last night was one of those stomach flu nights where you just lay on the bathroom floor and pray for death. Lol. I stayed home from work today. Still feverish and feeling grosse. I had to discard my temp this morning because it is through the roof. Hopefully it gets back to normal by tomoorow or my chart is going to be screwy.

Bostonmama, that is good news about the opks. Maybe things are normalizing now? I laughed when you asked about snow. It is already up to my waist on either side of my driveway! Lol. We get long, hard winters here.

Michelle, I have not heard of stress causing a long LP, but I know it can delay O as it did for me when I was moving in the summer. I think a long LP is better than a short one for implantation. Mine tends to be 11-12 days, which is a little short. Maybe long LPs are just normal for you? Have you had them before?

Kalie, maybe some sexy new underwear is in order?

bostonmama08 & jazzy I wish!! I buy new lingerie a couple times a year!! Dh loves it!!! As far as 50shades I read all three books in 9days!!! I thought it was a great love story with freaky kinky!! Lol but I can't wait to read more!! Dh isn't much of adventures in the bedroom... After I read 50shades and bought something sexy I decided to blind fold him ;) well he laughed most of time.... You know we have the most fun in unplanned places! But that doesn't happen much!! ( I get scared of being turned down)

He wants a baby so bad but men have no idea what we put ourselves through TTC!!!

Bostonmama have u had ur blood drawn for hcg again?

I would totally recommend Parsley Tea!! U can drink it to jump start ur af if ur waiting!!! I didn't want to wait forever on af after my mc so I was only a day late By drinking parsley tea! I also get dh to drink it too! It's a great detoxer!

Where is everyone located that your getting snow!! I live in north Texas always hoping for a white Christmas!!

Kalie-- I'm in New York (the BostonMama is for my 4 year old Boston Terrier whom I treat like I birthed her myself!). Our winters here are definitely not as hard as Jazzy up in Canada, but we get lots of blizzard-type lake-effect snow storms that rock our world for a few days. I hate it....really really hate it! However, we have been lucky and only had about 7 inches total thus far this season....and it's all melted thank goodness!

I am having hopefully my last hcg blood draw this Wednesday. With my OPKs being negative, my hcg level has got to be down. I have about 15 hpts in the house, so I can always take one in the morning.

Where can I buy Parsley Tea?! Health food store? I would gladly try it!

Jazzy--sorry to hear about your stomach bug! YUCK. I know being a teacher sickness travels fast. Stock up on orange juice. When I start to get sick, or am sick already, I have at least 16oz of pure orange juice daily....I swear by it. Cuts my cold in half. Pinky promise.

Michelle...how much spotting are you having? I'm getting excited for you because that could be implantation. You seem pretty late for af. Have you taken any more hpts??

BTW ladies.....my legal name is Melissa. LOL. I know I'm "BostonMama"....but wanted to give my real name too! :)

Off to wrap gifts.........!

I love the snow ladies!! Lol I live in pa and sometimes we get blasted but usually just a few inches at a time :/ Jazzy I'm jealous of all your snow!!

My hubby is getting better with the bding lol at first it was a struggle at first then he started realizing that it's not going to be easy for me to conceive so when it's time lol hes all into it. Apparently there is something else wrong with me :( I don't know what's going on with me! Still no af just real light spotting and my stupid cp is still really high but all neg hpt's ad neg opks? I know I'm ot preggo just wish af woud come and get it over with to start all over again :/ Jazzy my lp had been only 13 days for like three cycles then last cycle and this cycle it seems to be like 17 days I'm hoping this time anyway.

Hey Melissa I have a sun conure named Rosie she'll be 2 years old this april and she ismy little baby doll lol I don't know what I'd do with out her. She makes my day when I get home from work :) Sick as it is I don't think I'd have gotte through all this ttc without her. She makes me smile and laugh even when I'm sad so I know how you feel about your doggie :) I wish I could have a pooch but we rent so no doggies :( I miss coming home to a wagging tail! Hopefully someday I'll be coming home to baby smiles and coos :)

Oh yeah I cannot believe that Christmas is a whole week away!!!!!! So much yet to do and so many gifts to wrap :) I LOVE this time of year Again so jealous of you Jazzy for having a white christmas! May we all have wonderful New Years with BFP's!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhh I wish I had snow!!! DH and I dream of moving somewhere with it!!! But then again we always talk about selling everything and moving to Mexico hahaha I LoVe New York!!! DH and I went there 6years ago for New Years and had a blast!! I loved that everyone WALKS! (We're active ppl) but in Texas u have DRIVE everywhere!!! :-)

Hey Melissa I have a health food store that I bought the parsley tea from but I saw on Walgreens website u can order it!!! I use honey along with it for sweetness!
