Hi ladies!

I GOT MY SMILEY!!!!!! WAHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! HEADED TO BD!!!!!! PRAY FOR ME GIRLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*FINGERS CROSSED******

Shea - Woohoo! !!! And have fun !

Nat - We bd on CD 15, 16, 17 and I O'd on CD 16. Unless you can time it that well (which doesn't usually happen for me) I suggest EVERY OTHER DAY!

Yeaaay for O Shea. Happy bding

Margaret- do you mind sharing what you have done this cycle. And thank you for the feedback you gave me.

Victoria- thank you

Hi Girls - I have been on here so much today. My productivity at the office today has gone out the window! Oh well - it's Friday.

I talked to my specialist and am going to see him next week. He also ordered me blood tests. Listen to this - I have to get one done every 48 hours for 4 weeks!!! Can you believe it? Seems crazy but I would rather they over monitor me than under monitor me. Also I filled my projesterone perscription and I start taking that tonight.

This cycle I took clomid CD5 - 9. I also took prenatals and baby aspirin. I used preseed and my diva cup (which is similar to soft cups). I had me feet up in the air for about 30mins after each time. Also like Victoria said happened with her - I had the BIG O during sex on my ovulation day (and a coule of the other times). I have read that that helps to suck up all the spermies so tell your hubbies to make sure they are on that! I also slept with baby socks under my pillow. I know that seems silly but I feel like it keeps me in a positive frame of mind. I also used my CBFM to monitor my Ovulation.

I hope this helps!

Margaret- thank you that is helpful. I think that it is time for me to try the instead cups or softcups. I m just so scared I wont be able to get it out. I have not taken my prenatal vit for a ling time. I started today cd6. Also, when should I take baby aspirin? One more question, so sorry to keep asking you so many questions today...I feel bad. The softcups...do you insert it right after bding. Without getting out of bed right?

Oh and I wanted to say that am so glad you tested today and if fell on a week day!

Nat - ask away. I don't mind but I by no means an expert!!! Anything that may help though - I am here for you!

I am glad I tested today as well. Kind of mad at myself for not testing hte last couple days because I could start the projesterone sooner. Oh well. Hopefully it will all be fine.

WIth the softcups/diva cup I would put my feet up right away with my hips on the pillow. I would wait till they had been up for about 20 minutes and then up the cup in. My theroy behind this was that I wanted the spermies to have time to gravitate towards my cervix before I 'disturbed' them with putting the cup in. Sorry if that is TMI. Oh and I do this all without getting up from bed.

As far as baby aspirin and pre natals. I take both before bed. The prenatals make me fieel sick so that is why I started taking them at bed. They are right non my bedside table so they are hard to miss and help me remember to take them. Start taking the baby aspirin (also called low dose aspirin) as soon as you can.

Oh my god. SOrry for being on here so much today!

Shea - congrats on your smiley face!!! Yippee!!!! Happy BDing. This is your month!

AFM - I just got the results for my first HCG. My levels are 104 which is right in range of where they should be. Can't wait till Monday to get tested again to make sure they went up!!! This is way higher than last month when I got tested at 17DPO and my level was only 27. I hope this is a good sign. Ladies that are preggers - did any of your get tested at 13DPO? What were your levels?

Yay Margaret!!! Sticky Dust and a huge congrats to you!

Yay Shea, so glad you got your smiley face! I hope the BFP trend continues!!

Good Luck to those waiting to test, congrats again to the BFP's (please do stick around!) and hugs to anyone who needs one!

WOW I just know these are going to rub off on the rest of us!!!
We want you all to stay of course nothing is more exciting than hearing about your TTC sisters getting their BFP and updates PLEASE keep them coming.

I am so happy for all of you!!

moconner-I think we were close in our cycle, just curious what dpo did you test last before you got your bfp?

AFM I have been under some major stress the last few weeks (family issues). So in a way I hope I am not preggo so I can take some xanax cuz I really need em right now lol. Hubby just went to pick up a few hpt because of course I have used all of mine. I am losing hope since i am 12dpo and all have been neg. and just having pms symptoms, so we will see.

I posted my picture, but it makes it look realllllly wide! So, that's me, but not as wide. :)
