Hi ladies,

Well DH and I had an amazing weekend. Totally relaxing and been spolit by the hotel. Was excellent.

hmmmmm I am on CD20 and 5DPO I am now thinking I O'd earlier than I thought because my nipples (tmi sorry) are really sensitive and they are never like this. I am just over a week away from AF so it cant be that (and they dont feel like this when AF is due anyway)

I had a drink over the weekend and it floored me......I can hold my drink and can drink many guys under the table but over the weekend one drink and that did me in.

Fingers crossed its a good sign...... :-)

Hope everyone else is doing ok. Hows the girls with the BFP doing?

kraken - glad you had a great time!! FX alcohol intolerance is a good sign! I know the feeling this weekend!!

mo - cant wait to hear about your first u/s! :)

beach - everything is okay!!

Sounds like everyone has had a busy and fun weekend!!

AFM: had my first +opk on CD 17 -- DR said that most likely I didnt O this month -- CD 31 at 5:50am I woke up and threw up 3 times (had a few beers friday night but Ive NEVER thrown up after only having a few; and i only had a few bc DR said I didnt O) --nausous every now and then and now I dont know if the DR was wrong and maybe I did O...temps are ALL over the place this month. Im sooo confused and I dont want to test and get a BFN! today is CD 34 and IF I O'd this time and the DR was actually wrong then I'm about 14dpo -- AF should have showed yesterday and there is no sign of her. I dont want to get disappointed with a but I might cave and test in the morning.

can you get a around 14dpo without testing with FMU?

Kraken - fingers crossed. I can't wait till you test!

Ash - yes I think you can. I would go for it!

Hello ladies,

Glad everyone had a great weekend.

Victoria- So glad you had a blast.

Margaret- So exciting! Let us know how your first u/s sound goes today.

Aloha- Have a good feeling for you this month.

Nancy- How are you feeling today?

kraken-What cd are you?

Rachel- Really miss you!

Wishing everyone who is testing good luck

AFM: I never get spotting before or after O. Plus, just like I had thought. I am not going to O this cycle. Back to the typical PCOS cycle. CD17 today, I thought I would get my pos opk today since I got it on this day last month. I am super bummed because I had a good feeling about this month. Now I am probably gonna have to take meds for AF to start.

Hi ladies

Nat- I HATE PCOS!!!! Im so sorry you are feeling down. wish there was something I could do.

Ash- Im anxious to hear how your testing goes! Fingers Crossed!!!!!

Victoria- Im glad your getting pregnancy symptoms!
and yes only hard core TTCers would be happy about throwing up and passing gas lol!

Margret- Im so excited about your sonogram....if you post it on CMP please post the link so i can check it out. I LOVE looking at sonograms and I also heard a trick about finding out the baby's gender earlier on...so far it has not been wrong! They say if the baby is peanut shapped early on then its a boy, and if its lima bean shapped its a girl...

Nancy- Im praying super hard for you dear! Im so glad they have you on progesterone.

Carolyn- have you started testing yet? and are you feeling better?

Lisser- thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I honestly feel like I didnt even ovulate, but its OK...really. Im just waiting till my Dr. appt, Im actually really excited to be getting some actual help.

Rachel- how are you doing? Miss you!

Carol- thank you for your reassurance. You are so sweet! Hope you are doing well!

Kraken- that is a good sign!

Aloha- How are you doing???

AFM- Im Just waiting for my Dr. appt. Im really excited and praying he can help me and DH get a bump . Im going to see if he can do some alternative therapy instead of clomid to make DH happy, but if not then that is the route we are going. Maybe he could put me on metformin or something to help with the PCOS. Anyways, Im taking it one day at a time right now.

I have a question...what brand prenatal vitamins are yall taking? I was taking Vitafusion PreNatal but realized it that 1) it didnt have any iron and 2) the vitamin A was not from Beta Carotene, and anything else could cause birth defects in babies...supposidly only beta carotene is safe and good for you. SO, I switched to Belly-Bar chewables. They taste like orange and berry flavored crap but i dont thow them back up so (oh and they have iron and beta carotene)

Wel, I am back from my apt...... I always feel like such a failure when I have these apt. and I know we have to move on to next month.... I start the month out thinking "this will be it" and I am all positive and happy then this time comes and I am bummed because yet again we failed........ no more tests to be done; I have had them all now and still no reason as to our infertility....

Sometimes I wonder what I am doing wrong? I wish it was that simple..... guess not...... I just wish it was something I could fix. Well, I am 9 or 10 dpo today and I should have AF on Sat.

Doc said to keep going with the clomid and now we are going to do IUI this month. Probably for about six months. I got a cup for dh and so he can "do it" at home thank goodness but he has to provide his sample 30 min before my IUI and he is in the army for work so he can't just leave and come home. Not sure how that is going to go when the time comes. I can't really predict what day it will be so he can take that day off because it is different every month.....

Any suggestions for what has worked for anyone else?
Any ideas would help........

Hi Girls,

Caroyln - could he call in sick the day that you need him around? I am sorry you are feeling down. I hope next month is your month!!!!

Shea - I know how you feel. I was so excited when I got to see my specialist. I know it will be great for you and you will have a bump in no time!!!

Nat - you know for sure you wont o? That sucks. Is there something different you can try for next month? Are you going to ask your Dr?

I just wanted to send a quick update that we just got back from our 6 week ultrasound. The lady saw the yolk sac and says everything looks good. No heartbeat that she showed us but she seemed to think everything looked good so you have to be happy with that.

Hi girls
I do believe my MS is starting. I was sick yesturday officaly 6 weeks...and then again today. I didn't puke but it was hard to work i kept burping. I have some ginger candy ive been sucking on. I'm not complaining either in fact i love feeling preggo.

I would also like to know what prenatal u girls take?

Kraken- I KNOW THIS IS IT FOR U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was the only clue i had when i my bfp...sore nipples and they never went away and it was wayyyy too early for AF!!!! FX for u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nat-I'm sorry ur not Oing...I agree with shea stupid PCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its not fair for u. R u doing flaxseed oil??

Mo-I'm so excited and jealous u got to do an u/s i dont get mine for 2.5 more weeks....its killing me!

carolyn dont give up on ur clomid...i didnt think it was working for me but it did. sometimes the DR's are actually right

victoira-oh man full puking? what r u today 6 weeks? I think i am only 1 day ahead of u.

aloha- how is that giant egg?

Shea-I've been taking vitafusion prenatal also....i guess i should stop taking it. I actually like taking it because there is no iron and iron makes me not poop. I'm curious what else u guys are taking too?

nancy im praying for u sorry ur nervous

hope everyone is well

Hello Everyone!!!

I'm glad to see that this thread has picked up again after the long weekend! Hope everyone had a terrific, and restful time!

Shea--I'm totally with you about being excited to go to the specialist....fingers crossed that this is what you need for your ...let us know how it goes!

Nat--hang in there....I know it can be discouraging, but I think that god, the universe, buddha...whomever you believe in has a plan for us to be mommas!

Carolyn--let me know if you have any questions re: the IUI process....we just finished our second round and I'd be happy to chat with you about it!

Little & Victoria & Margaret--is it weird to be jealous of your farting and puking? My best friend is preggos and said that if she ate often enough, that the MS eased up a bit...and of course, load up on the ginger ale!!

Nancy--Sending good vibes to you, and hoping everything is ok....

Kraken and Ash---ahhh! I think this sounds very promising! Keep us updated!!

AFM: I just got back from the drs office....I got my smiley face yesterday (Monday)!!!! Whoohooo! On CD 16, which I am TOTALLY stoked about! DH and I had an (early) IUI on Friday, and on Saturday, skipped Sunday, and did it 2 times yesterday....we had our 2nd IUI this morning (though his #s were way lower than normal--after the wash, only 10mil, when he usually has 40-80mil)....I'm thinking of again tonight and maybe tomorrow....overkill maybe, but I just wanna get our !!!

I was feeling paranoid about if I actually O'd--i know I got the positive OPK, but was feeling nervous about IF my eggie actually popped...she looked at the U/S and saw "free fluid" which showed I O'd and said I may have O'd more than one! Whhhhaaaaat?!?!?! So excited at the possibility!

In terms of prenatal vitamins...I've been taking the GNC ones, without iron as the ones with iron were KILLING my bms....sorry if this is TMI!

to everyone!

Hi Ladies,

Love - I am CD21 today and 6DPO.

Little/Aloha - Thank you. Hoping this is it. Just over 2 years we have been trying.

Well my nipples are still sore and feel like they are going to snap off??!!! I am also feeling extremely hot at times. I never feel hot I always feel the cold so for me to be really hot is very strange.

to every.
