Morning all. Lori, I think that was a better start than you expected. Have fun with dh the next 3 days. As for me. The witch still isen't hurt. which is wonderful. I know that if i get it late will be in 10x more pain than normal. But this looks good. still no signs of the witch showing which is great too... Baby Dust and Happy Thoughts to all.

Lori-- although your predictions were off, those follicles of yours are exciting! I am so glad for you! Make sure you prop your tooshie up on a pillow after dancing and stay there for like 30 minutes, or stand on your head! (I'm kidding, I couldn't stand on my head). Baby dust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lynn - January 21st, 2006 2:56 PM

Lori...that size is wonderful. I have never had any that big. My biggest on when I did injections was 19. Yes....I did get a BFP. Have fun!!!!!!! Nothing nwe here...just chilling.

Lori - January 21st, 2006 4:18 PM

It's quiet today. I slept for a few hours after I got home for the Drs. It's one of those somber winter days. Did anybody happen to catch the Bernie Mac show last night? Bernie and Wanda were ttc and had problems, went to see a specialist, had to do injections - she was having a hormonal episode over mayonaise (hubby started laughing and pointed at me and said "that's you!!") Well anyway, the injections weren't working so they were told that they should do IVF, well it ended up they had to wait a cycle before doing IVF and they bd during that cycle - (I said to hubby, watch her end up pregnant, it only happens on tv) - well she ended up pregnant, but then come to find out it was a chemical pregnancy. I actually felt so bad because it kind of ticked me off that I thought she was pregnant (you know, like the show was going to make it so easy.... if you don't try so hard then it will happen, type of thing ). But then when it happened to be a chemical pregnancy, I felt REALLY bad, that I thought that way to begin with. But the whole show kind of hit home to what we are all going through. Just thought I would share.

Oh people, how are ya? I am emotionally doing much better today. Lori- I also took a nap today ansd it wasn't even a dreary winter day here. It was hot although not unbearable. This time of year when it is hot, you can easily stand going outside. Our cold days usually only last about two days, then it warms up again, then it gets cold....more often than not, just cool. Anyhoo, just wanted to say hello!!

Tracy - January 21st, 2006 8:02 PM

Lori-- Just found this. I was looking for info for myself when I came across it and just thought you'd like to see it: " The American Journal of Epidemiology reports nicotine is ten times more concentrated in the uterine fluid than it is in plasma. Nicotine ages the ovaries and makes the eggs resistant to fertilization." Well I feel pretty stupid now considering I have yet to quit smoking. I haven't been doing so great on my quitting regimen, how about you?

Lori - January 21st, 2006 8:15 PM

Tracy - Thanks for the info. I feel like crap now. It's my own fault!! I will try harder than ever now to quit!! Although I am not making excuses, my mom smoked(s) and had 7 kids. I have my good days and my bad days when it comes to cutting down. Where do you live that you have such nice weather?

Lynn - January 21st, 2006 8:18 PM

Tracy...dont beat yourself up over the smoking. I see and know plenty of people who smoke more than you girls and go on to have children and yes even smoke while pregnant. It was a gloomy day here in NC. Cloudy with sprinkles. So, like you girls...I napped and did a little BDing with dh and nothing much else. I'll check back later. Chin up girls.....

Tracy - January 21st, 2006 10:15 PM

Lori- I live in Jupiter, Florida--just north of Palm Beach. I was wondering if you guys think I should take next month off from taking the clomid? I have been soooo emotional and messed up, I don't know if I can do it again next month. Plus, I really want to quit smoking, and to use the gum or patch, but don't want to do the clomid along with that stuff. What do you think?

Tracy - January 21st, 2006 10:54 PM

By the way, what happened to Elyse and Emm? Hope all is well....

Lynn - January 21st, 2006 11:49 PM

Tracy...my vote is take a month off if you really want to quit smoking and such. Clomid messed me up bad. Also, after they figured out I had PCOS...a comment was made I would no get pregnant using that since a side effect is drying up CM and those of us who have PCOS...do not make enough as it is. A month off might do you some good...concentrate on not smoking...walk more to get dh off your back a little. I will support you in whatever your course is and I am sure these girls will also. Good luck and let us know what you do

Lynn - January 22nd, 2006 10:00 AM

Good Morning....just stopping in to get us back on top and to see how everyone is holding up so far. Finished the femara (I am glad.....headaches were getting to me) last night so now we BD and wait until Thursday to see if we have any follies. A girl I work with this past Friday and she only had tiny-tiny follies. They said she would not ovulate so they gave her something to induce a persiod to begin again. Hmm, Hope that is not my case. I'll check back later...need to go grocery shopping but putting it off.

d - January 22nd, 2006 10:17 AM

Good Morning All. Just letting you know the witch still has not shown up. :o) hopefully it will stay that way. I hope everyone is well. Baby Dust and Happy Thoughts to all.


CC - January 22nd, 2006 1:23 PM

Good morning! Sorry I was MIA yesterday, I needed a mental break from ttc things and tried to stay busy and not think about it. Lori-that is excellent news!! Hope you are enjoying bd'ing and getting the job done. I was so happy to read that! Tracy, you poor thing with your hormones and the meds. Maybe you can talk to your Dr and let him know the Clomid makes you so up and down and you can try Femara or something ? I feel for you, and hope that by today or tomorrow, you begin to feel like yourself again. I agree w/ Lynn, if you really want to stop smoking, take the month off next month if you arent pregnant this month. With your mood swings on Clomid, that might do you some good as well. I think the Clomid and trying to quit all in one month might make anyones head spin like Linda Blair. d, I hope you test again soon so we can get a BFP on this thread! Lynn, glad your med free right now. I hope you have tons of great follicles. jcr, where are you ? Hope things are well with you and that you are busy bd'ing. As for me, I O'd today on cd 13. I dont think I have ever O'd this early in my life since I have been tracking. I feel sort of stupid, all the cm I have had for days should have been a tip off, but I never thought it would happen so early. DH and I really only bd'd 1 time during the time it would "count" and will bd today and tomorrow, but I am already ok with the fact that this will not be my month. I figured we had at least 3 more days and was going to get busy. I am not going to dwell on it, I must be happy for the little things like O'ing on my own. Frustrated yes, but I will deal. Check in later!

Tracy - January 22nd, 2006 2:20 PM

Yeah D--no AF yet! Come on BFP!!!!!!!! Wow, have I been a wet blanket or what???? I feel much better today, feeling much more emotionally stable. I guess fear and anger can really be powerful when your hormones are off kilter. JCR- I talked to my mom about acupuncture, so I am going to look for someone in my area. What is a reasonable price to pay per session and how often should I go? My birthday is coming up, so I thought I could ask my mom for money or to pay for some sessions for me. I thought the acupuncture might help me stop smoking as well. Well, it is cd12 for me, time to start dancing like a maniac. I started noticing lotiony CM day before yesterday, so I am expecting EWCM probably tomorrow or Tuesday. I intend to do the dirty deed every day for the next four days. I have been doing the every other day thing, and so far it hasn't worked for me, so I figured I'd try something new. Tuesday is my post-coital test. Lynn- thanks for the support. You are very sweet! I'll check back in later....

Tracy - January 22nd, 2006 2:25 PM

CC-don't you dare count yourself out for the month! I know timing is everything, but you still could have succeeded, remember, all it takes is one.Just make sure to dance today and tomorrow and you should be fine. Last month I swore it didn't work for me because I had EWCM on cd13 and did not dance that day. I could be wrong, but that is why I am not taking any chances this month.
