Hello ladies! I hope you all are well. 
How are you? (Actual question...not just a greeting)
Updates?
I don't have any updates. I decided I didn't want to do opk this cycle and we would just be consistent about DTD. I feel like I had some symptoms of an o, but I could also be wishing them upon myself.

I've been doing well off and on. We ended up seated in church around all of the little kids which made me smile but also made me sad we didn't have one on the way (or here). Then we went to relatives yesterday and I occupied my time with a 2 week old newborn... I'm in the middle of OPK-land right now and sleeping on an airbed at my in-laws until Monday. So we've been doing our best to make it work! Thankfully, there haven't been any over the top baby question comments yet...

@Mrs. Polish: what made you not want to use an opk? Just curious.. I hope this is a successful month for you. Did you have a nice Christmas?
@LindsayInNY: I'm glad there haven't been uncomfortable comments. Is shower sex still an option?!
I got a faint BFP today and am nervous/excited/worried. I'm 10DPO and am hoping to see a darker line tomorrow; I'll call for betas, too.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: they stress me out. I know it isn't a big deal, but I have anxiety around doing tests in the morning like that. We aren't doing any interventions so if it happens it happens. Fingers crossed for your bfp!
Christmas was wonderful, I just wish more relaxing were involved. I saw your bread maker. I'm jealous.

@Mrs. Polish: they stress me out, too, so I don't blame you.
The bread maker is fabulous. I'm going to make bread all the time and be fat.

Hello, hope all had a wonderful holiday?!
I am relaxing and enjoying this holiday break...perks of a teacher
I will be going back to the RE tomorrow to do some b/w to see where AF is and hopefully get started on provera and get another IUI cycle going.
We are did some b/w to check some levels that may have caused the back to back CP but so far so good......
With all the crazy BFP around HB LATELY I AM PRYING FOR ONE TOO!!!!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Technically, shower is still an option. We made due on the air bed the other night so we'll see how it goes again tonight! We have Saturday night out of town and Sunday morning so that might help too! Have you been able to reach your doctors office? Did you have a IUI this month?
@Mrs. Polish: I hear ya on stressing... I think I could tell when I'm Oing at this point, even without all the added testing, tracking, etc. How was baby's first Christmas?!
blogger / coconut / 8306 posts
@LindsayInNY: no, IUI was planned for January if December didn't work. We did TI this month (clomid + monitoring + timing).
Fingers crossed for you!!

@LindsayInNY: we had to utilize the air mattress this week too. Very awkward.
@FaithFertility: I know! There's been a ton of bfp lately and I'm happy for them but sad for me.
@Mrs. Polish: I feel you about OPKs, they stress me out too.
No updates. Feeling pretty down, just wish we could get our bfp soon.
blogger / nectarine / 2010 posts
@LindsayInNY: my problem is I've only ever o'd one time that I know of and I was on Clomid. Christmas was fun, but hectic. I thought staying home would cut down on that, but I decided to make dinner for us and it took a lot more than I expected. I'm still recovering. Zay had a great time though. That was fun.

Hey there!
After a 98 day cycle with 10 days of Provera and 2 acupuncture treatments... I finally got my period - Merry Christmas to me! I'm actually excited to use some OPKs!
There have been a bajillion (approximately) FB BFP announcements it seems like in the last week. I am so happy for them... Just hoping our BFP comes in 2014!
@Mrs. Jump Rope: fingers crossed for your BFP!!!

Went to RE today b/w and scan show that AF is no where in sight so starting provera tonight for 7 days to bring it on, then going back day 2 or 3 for scan so we can hopefully start clomid and begin lucky IUI #3 :))))
blogger / coconut / 8306 posts
@CarrieLouWho: a fresh start is always refreshing. Good luck to you!!
@FaithFertility: I'll be thinking of you!
My beta today was a 14, so I'm officially pregnant (and nervous).

I just got my beta results. Negative. I think we're going to take a couple months off before going through another FET.

Today is my birthday. I've had a relaxed day and will go to dinner at a restaurant I've been wanting to check out for a long time with my husband. I'm planning on wearing something loose so I can comfortably indulge.
My last unsuccessful cycle was really hard to accept with the hormones and holidays and what seemed like a lot of pregnancy announcements. I was amazed and grateful for the timing of Mrs. Train's blog post. We originally decided to take a TTC break in January, but changed our minds after spending time with my eight adorable nephews and nieces over Christmas. This makes more sense--I was cringing thinking of my opened, very expensive, Follistim going to waste. If it doesn't work out in January, we'll have a break since we'll be on a cruise and couldn't make it in for appointments. I go in tomorrow for a baseline ultrasound and if all goes like the last two cycles, I'll be triggering in about a week.

How do I know if I can partake in this chat? Do I have to be seeing an RE or is it the 1+ yr mark or what?
pomelo / 5228 posts
@Happygal: Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a great dinner tonight Sorry last cycle was a tough one... Hoping you'll be nauseous on that cruise though.
@babycanuck: There are no rules! If you feel like you belong, then you're welcome to participate.

@babycanuck: no rules! I started joining in on the IF threads when I was about 9 months into TTC and started some hormone testing with my GYN. I just felt more comfortable here. No one would ever say you can't post here!! Welcome
