@Mrs. Oreo: Thank you
-
@periwinklebee: fx for a negative beta!
post mc is such a downer so I hope you can get that 0 and move forward! Sending hugs -
Ok...really hoping I don't jinx it but which shirt should I put on DS to announce to DH?
-
@Coral: I love the grey one!
-
@periwinklebee: Hugs. I was in the SAME place you are when I got pregnant. I was in my 8th month of TTC and in total denial. Luckily, my body wasn't.
As I have said, I have so so much hope for you. -
@dc yoga bee: Plus, it's cheaper!
-
@Coral: thank you
I also vote grey
-
@Coral: I vote gray too!

Cycle Day: 7
TTC Cycle: 25
Ovulation Date: 5/3-4
POAS Date: 5/16
Baby #: 1
What's up this month: Don't have much hope for this month as it will be unmedicated. I screwed up and didn't get my Clomid from the pharmacy in time, so the RE said to hold off until next month. That means no IUI either. I'll still take OPKs and we'll BD during the window, but I'm not expecting anything. Though I'll probably still go crazy during the TWW.
For Fun: Since this month was named after a fertility goddess, were you named after anyone? I was named after my mom's aunt, Elizabeth Ann. I am one of about a dozen women & girls on that side of the family with Elizabeth in our names, though all the others have Elizabeth as a middle name. All in honor of the same wonderful woman who I was lucky enough to get to know pretty well. To keep with family tradition, I would give my first daughter the middle name Elizabeth, but since my mom died when I was a baby I think I'm going to switch it up and give her the middle name Sue. If I ever have a baby, that is. -

@Mrs. Oreo: Hope you don't mind that I put the list together--had some time during lunch
-
@Coral: please add me to May 8. I got opk+ today and have no idea if we even have a real shot post-mc but I'm pretty sure that's the longest my crazy self can wait to test.
-
@Coral: I also vote grey! I had to put away my big bro shirt but I really hope it comes back out this year!
-
@bhbee: Got it!
-
@bhbee: I agree! Fingers crossed it happens really, really soon for you!
-
@knittylady: Yay!

Feeling super down today and starting to think I might need to accept the fact that I'll never get pregnant. Writing "25" next to cycle number was just super depressing. How much longer can I torture myself like this?
I know I will at least do a couple cycles of IUI + medication (DH came around on that, telling him "work smarter, not harder" worked like a CHARM!) But I can't help but wonder if it's all for naught.
PS: My co-worker just brought me a Blizzard and I want to cry tears of joy/self-pity.
-
@dominobee: I'm so sorry you're feeling so discouraged
Having not been in your shoes, it wouldn't be right for me to offer advice but I am thinking nothing but good thoughts for you. You never know... an un-medicated cycle could do it or the IUI could make all the difference. But we are here for you whenever you want to vent!Enjoy that Blizzard, it sounds so good!
-
@dominobee: I'm so sorry - thinking of you
-
@Coral: Grey takes my vote!!! And I totally don't mind that you did the list. I forgot about it. Oops!
-
@dominobee: I'm sorry you're feeling down.
Sending you hugs and love. I hope you enjoyed that Blizzard though. Sounds good right now, actually.
-
@dominobee: so sorry you're feeling down. It sounds like there are still a lot of things to try.
-
FYI to anyone using the easy@home tests from Amazon: this batch is giving false positives. There is a whole thread about it on another site and I have the same batch. I tried one with my daughter's pee (lol) and there was a faint line. So check your lot numbers!
-
@mrskansas: son of a bitch. these gave me the 4 faint positives a couple weeks ago
-
@Mrs. Oreo: oh no!! If you bought them on Amazon ask for a refund. They issued me one no problem.
-
@mrskansas: I will. Thank you!!
-
This is from my 2 yr olds pee. Seriously.
-
@Mrs. Oreo: argh - boo. Sorry
-
@mrskansas: omg thanks for the heads up! What a nightmare!
-
@mrskansas: @Mrs. Oreo: I have a box from that same lot. I am glad you all posted about this because I was going to test this am.
-
@mrskansas: also really hoping that the opks that were in the same box are accurate because I have been using them the past few cycles.
-
@jhd: I didn't have any problems with the Opks so you should be good!
-
@mrskansas: oh good! As if TTC isn't stressful enough you have to wonder if your tests are accurate!
-
@jhd: No kidding! I'm using the remainder of mine to test out the trigger but I will not be buying that brand again.
-
@mrskansas: Ugh, that's so annoying. I think I'm gonna splurge on the CB digital OPKs for this cycle since I'll be taking Femara.
-
@mrskansas: Are these different from wondfos? The package looks different but the test strips look identical.
-
@jodyblair: Yes they are the easy@home tests. I didn't realize they were different from Wondfos but I guess they come from a different manufacturer.
-
@mrskansas: I've never actually bought Wondfos now that I think about it. It was always this brand.
Would it be wrong to keep a tally of how much I spent on pregnancy tests since we started TTC and give an invoice to my future child when they get their first job?
-
@Mrs. Oreo: ha! It's crazy. I clearly have a problem because I could not pass by the frer aisle at target today. and I have a huge wondfo stash.
-
@bhbee: Did you start getting hives? Lol
post mc is such a downer so I hope you can get that 0 and move forward! Sending hugs 
As I have said, I have so so much hope for you. 
Sending you hugs and love.
