@mrs squirreld: a positive finally! this is a wondfo and I will confirm with digital later, but this is what my positive looked like last month so I'm 99% sure that I will get a smiley later on! So if i got a positive.. that means yours is definitely on the way. here's a pic!

@Cherrybee: yes! i'm a big advocate of exercise to de-stress and de-clutter your mind. It will feel so good!!

@mrssquirreld: You and me both chica!!!

@mrssquirreld: how exciting! I'm envious that you won't have to go to work after Christmas like the rest of us.

@MrssquirrelD: Everyone's different. Some people have long surges, some people have short surges, some people's vary from month to month. You might see the start of a surge at one time then, later, your urine is more diluted so it doesn't show up. That pic doesn't quite look like a positive to me, anyway, it looks like it gearing up to one....

@MrssquirrelD: It is, isn't it!! The first month, I thought I had it down then, last month, it was completely confusing!! This month is looking more normal again so fingers crossed last time was just a blip!

@MrssquirrelD: Maybe.... although AF was never a whole week late before was she'? It's weird that you had regular 28 cycles before TTC then, it seems, they are getting longer and longer and you are Oing later and later! Maybe there's something in this stress-delaying-O thing after all? Either way, you'll know when it happens this time and it's looking like your DH being away wont matter after all!!!!

@mrssquirreld: it looks VERY close! Not sure why it's smudged but.. keep testing. Also, what I learned my last cycle was that I actually ovulated on the first day of my 2 positive opks, so for me it was more important to BD before the opks turned positive, so maybe it will be similar for you and you will be ok even if DH has to leave for the weekend!

So I went to my OB/GYN yesterday and for the most part she thinks DH is the problem, so he's going in Monday for his SA, and depending on his results we'll either go to IUI or I'll do some tests, and HSG and Clomid. I have to say that feeling like I'm more in control of this process has me feeling amazing. While I hope none of you have to get to that point, it was the perfect birthday present for me yesterday. I would recommend, if you guys go like 4 cycles without getting pregnant, send your DH in for an SA before you keep trying. My OB was surprised we had waited so long to do it.

@Mrssquirreld: Yes, so excited to see a positive opk from you. How is it today?
@Chibee: It looks like you have a stairstep chart like me so far!
@Cherrybee: I meant to say the other day that there was no reason for you to apologize on the other thread. We all deserve to say what we think and if someone doesn't get your humor then they should at least ask before freaking out. I'm proud of you saying what you felt. I always do the same. On another note, are you just dying to o?!
@Strawberrybee: It appears you may be out from your chart. I'm sorry hun! It was looking so good. Here's to making a baby next time!

@strawberrybee: Aaw, I'm so sorry hun. That sucks so much.

@marionberry: I'm so glad your appointment went well and you're feeling better about the whole thing. How's your DH taking the news that it might be his swimmers that are the problem? Men can be quite touchy about that, can't they?

Yeah... I kinda did need to apologise because what I said was quite offensive. Of course I didn't mean it like that but I never, ever want to cause upset by my words....

... even though I was shocked at the time and even more shocked a few posts later....

Maybe that's what this has all been about for me? Maybe that's the "Gods timing is perfect" you were talking about. Maybe I needed to experience what I did so that I would have compassion and understanding and be a better person. I can be really thick headed sometimes!

In other news - yes, I'm looking forward to Oing! I have a feeling it will be more CD14 this time, I don't know why! I just feel more normal, somehow... (and my skin is awful! Welcome back hormones!) I'm going to go to a Yoga class next week so that I'm super-zen!

@Strawberrybee: Cycle 5 Hugs.

Right, well if we're going to be cycle twins, I want this to be your cycle Missus! Although, I'm angling for an earlier (more normal) ovulation date - this is, after all, my first normal cycle (as my first was straight from BCP and my second was post m/c). Fingers crossed!!!

@strawberrybee: You sound like me. DH has had two kids, but the last was 14 years ago, and he was diagnosed with diabetes after that. So that's why they think it's him. And hey, this is my eighth cycle, so I hope your dr is right!
@cherrybee: He actually handled it really well. At first he was kind of stunned, because his own doctor had never said his diabetes could be a problem and he felt kind of guilty, but then it really motivated him. He wanted to do everything he could so that we can get a baby, and we got his SA ready to go for Monday.

@marionberry: that's a good idea and attitude...enjoy life, go have fun, enjoy your husband. I'm doing the same this week. You just have to remember, their success doesn't mean your failure. it's going to happen for us. I know it!

@chibee: I'd be looking at it as a vacation from work too. How cool that you can spend it with family. I've never been through a hurricane since I live on the west coast. It'd be kind of cool for me lol.
@mrssquirreld: Thanks! It was a great 27th birthday.

@mrssquirreld: I want to see pics of the office makeover!

@mrssquirreld: ok I won't
