Hellobee Boards

@jojogirl: Great idea! When we do get BFP's let's set up a thread just for us cycle 7 girls (no matter when we get a BFP) so that we can always stay in contact.
@spaniellove: Good to know about the donation timing, lol. I'll make sure we follow protocol.

@Grace: Hahahahah. You were the first recipient of my peer pressure, I'm pretty sure I did it on the first page of this thread

Something odd has happened in the land of Oz. There used to be a whole bunch of us in the TWW together and now it's just me and @chibee! Now I understand why @JoJoGirl was always lamenting that she was on an opposite cycle.

@chibee: Yuppers, that's me!

@chibee: Nope. I'm tired of negative tests, so I'm waiting for AF to be late. Also, I got sick and didn't time things very well.

How about you?

@chibee, @grace: Best of luck this cycle! I would love for you guys to get BFP's!

@Rachel: Nonsense! You can't help that your cycle moved. I was only saying that I understand what Jojo was saying. I know what you mean about being in sad sad land. Because it really shouldn't be this hard!

@ambular1025: Thanks and back at'cha!

@Rachel: There are a lot of us who've hit that mark. It sucks, but I'm determined that once I see docs and whatnot at least I can know why I can't get pregnant and do something about it. That has me a little empowered. Other than the cost I really don't care if I have to go as far as IVF.
@Grace: I used to be in cycle with you guys but my cycle is short and so I am sometimes with one group and sometimes with the other. It's somewhat annoying but I like that I don't have to wait as long as others.

@Rachel: I totally understand. Honestly I've been there since Cycle 4. Going to IVF brings mixed feelings - on one hand it's like bringing out the big guns, but it's also scary to know that we get one, maybe two tries and after that there is NOTHING ELSE. It's over. For personal reasons we aren't considering adoption (not that we could afford it after blowing so much money on IVF), so if IVF doesn't work there won't be any kids.

Since AF is here and I'm on to cycle 7, I think I'm done charting. But I will definitely stick around and obsess over you guys' charts!

This charter's thread is like the best thread ever. I've learned so much for all of you guys. Update on me: I had my betas done-- the first one- hcg 649, progesterone 29.5--- the second one- they didn't give me the hcg numbers but said it had doubled.. so the ob said my numbers looked good. they had me do all that before scheduling an appt since i had two miscarriages last year. the ob also put me on 100mg of progesterone cream until i'm 11 weeks as a precaution. anyway, it's probably all the hormones but i totally had a melt down while trying to schedule my first ob appt because it will require me taking a day off from work (teaching) and you teachers know what a pain in the butt it is to write lesson plans. my hospital also require new moms to go to a new mom orientation but i've been to two already and i was like do i have to go again-- it's to schedule genetic testing. the nurse told me to tell the nurses there that i just want to get my paperwork and not have to sit through the whole meeting again.

Ladies, don't lose hope! ***sprinkling baby dust on all of you****

@mssally: Hi! So happy to hear that everything is going well with you! I'm not a teacher but my mom is, so I feel you on the having to take a day off thing - frustrating!

@ambular1025: I wouldn't recommend giving up charting yet! Having the chart makes timing so much easier and really helps figure a lot of things out.

@mssally: So glad to hear your betas were good! I understand what a pain it is to miss a day of teaching, and no matter how hard you plan it's never like you were there.

@alison206: Hang in there! Hopefully you won't ever have to go back to charting!

Hey! I saw earlier that a lot of ladies are in cycle 7, yeah? Who all is in cycle 7?

@Rachel: Geez, that is a lot of ladies, how ironic!! Seven is my lucky number (I'm cycle 7 too!) but I'm not feeling optimistic because of all the news last month. Rachel, when do you start temping again? I FINALLY picked up the thermometer today.

How is everyone else feeling?? Anyone feeling optimistic?

We are all super close in cycle days too. That's crazy!

@ambular1025: Eeep! Good luck! I think we find out the results of hubs's SA tomorrow.. I hope both of ours husband's SA's show good, strong numbers =)

@ambular1025: I feel...the SAME way. *sigh* Of course I hope that they are good, but if not, at least, I dunno...some of the, blame? (is that the right word?) could be shared, as crazy as that sounds.

@evenstar982: Good idea!

How long have you been charting? Since last November (but I took a few months off in between)

TTC Cycle: 7 (since April)

Where are you from? MA

Any kids already? Just my spoiled rotten pug

Burning charting question: how long will my thermometer battery last? And when will I know if it's dying?

How long have you been charting? Since coming off BCP in May.

TTC Cycle: Cycle 3

Where are you from? Texas

Any kids already? Just our fur-baby. We think she is a Corgi/Long Haired Chihuahua Mix.

Burning charting question: @Rachel: I agree with this one! I always worry that I am going to wake up one morning and it is going to be dead.

@April_Showers and @Rachel: I'm not actively charting anymore, but I have an answer for you on the thermometer. My thermometer didn't seem to be working right, and it would take me two tries to get a reading. Then, shortly after those few days that took me a few tries, the battery sign popped up one morning. I only had mine for 6 months before I had to replace the battery. I thought that was a short time.

@Grace: I'm sorry! I saw your temp drop today and figured it was the same bad news I get when that happens. Feeling for you! Two days early is not cool.
