Thanks for starting the new thread. How are you lovemy3? Linds99, how are you doing? Celestia if you are still reading please know we are all thinking of you. DH mom will be here today. I am blessed with an wonderful DMIL. It will be good to have her here so I can get my mind on other things.

That sounds fun. My mil is also awesome, so kind hearted and helpful too. Not much is going on here cd25, and waiting. No symptoms, just feel like normal. So who knows this month. This a.m Bible study, was on Perserverance and faithfullness, how fitting. It is a study by Anne graham lotz and is great. very fitting for cd25-lolol. have an amazing day!

Girl, I think this is your month!! I am praying it is. What is the name of your Bible study...it sounds good!! I live very close to the Cove...the Billy Graham Training center by the way. I know cycle day 25 is a hard place to be isn't it? Just a few more days and we will know!! I believe this is the month you will get your bfp!!!

Hey all, thanks for starting the new thread. Well, I got my kitties last night and I let him hug me and he wouldn't let go. Finally, when he started trying to nibble my ear, I said I had to go and pulled away. He cried some more and when I was walking out the front door with my 2nd kitty, he said, "I'm leaving the light on for you. I've left it on since Sunday." I said, "Why?" and said, "Because that's what you do for someone you want to come home," then he choked up and said, 'Bye', and shut the door. I left and brought my kitties to my parents' house. They freaked out and stayed under the couch the whole night. Poor kitties. But, this morning they came out and walked around and explored, mostly cause everyone else was asleep.

Celestia......Hugs....how are you doing? What a tough road, hurt runs so deep. I'm glad you got your kitties to keep you company. How are you doing at your parents, are they supportive. Take time and evaluate it all and make your decisions when you have more peace. Hang in there. Trust is a hard thing to rebuild and forgiveness is another hard one too. I'm certainly not saying you back to him, but rememeber unforgiveness is like poison that will make you bitter. He needs accountability and consequences for his actions, they were intolerable and deceiving. Even if you don't get back with him, be sure not to become bitter, it is like poison in your heart. You are in my prayers XOXO

Angelkitty, thanks for your prayers. The Bible study is a follow up to a conference that she did in Canada. the study is called "the Vision of His Glory" They are a 8 week dvd series then a workbook each week. Its really good. In January we are startinjg a Beth Moore one called "Daniel". Thanks so much for all your encouragement, LInds , where are you today, how are doing in the wait? Hoping BFP's for us this month! XIOXIO

Angelkitty, If you are in the carolinas, are you familar with Proverbs 31 Women ministries? They are in matthew, north carolina. Check out there web site, they have super daily devotions for free.

Good morning eveyone. How are we today? Nothing to report here. CD26 and counting. How are you feeling Linds? Must be getting close as well? Today will be a low key day around here so will just take it easy, have a great day ttyl

Hi Ladies, I just wanted to chime in and say that I had an IUI on Monday, 38 MILLION sperm were injected and needless to say DH has a big head about that, LOL! Now, I'm on bedrest because I am going thru hyperstimulation-- ovaries are swollen and pushing up against my other organs... causing severe abdominal pain. The pain was so intense...I am better now, I test on the 31st... this is our 3rd IUI, I had a miscarriage a few months ago... I am very anxious! Have a great weekend!

Welcome JB, glad you could join us. That sounds great, so you are on the yucky wait as well. I am on cd26 and af could start anywhere between now and cd31. I am 37 and ttc#4. So far, they all have happened naturally but this time around I'm on my 6th month of tring. I haven't had any tests at all as of yet. waiting very anxiously I will test Thurs if I make it that far. Nice to meet you.

I don;t think we've ever mentioned age on this thread. Am I the oldest here? I am 37.5.

Hi guys, Hi JB, that is funny about your husband! I know, my husband is the same way, like he's got Brad Pitt super sperm, because his count and motility are always so good before the IUIs. It actually really irritates me, because he always has to throw that in, "Like, if you don't get pregnant this time, gosh, I just can't believe all that sperm couldn't find your egg." He even asked the nurse to repeat his count again the last IUI I had last Saturday. So weird...I love him, but that annoys me. Hi angelkitty, lovemy3, I'm doing good, I'm 7DPO (2 IUIs)...no symptoms-nada. Lovemy3, I'm gonna test a day after you (via blood by the doctor) on Friday, so maybe you will be the first one to get a positive here! Lets hope. Hey Celestia, glad you are sticking around. That is really sad about your husband leaving the lights on for you...be strong. That made me tear up for you darling.

Hi there everyone!! And welcome JB!! The DH and sperm count thing is so funny...I thought my DH was the only to get the big head. I remember in June after had both gone through the preliminary testing for infertility he acted so strange that whole week waiting for the results. We tested on Monday and he left for Finland that Tuesday. Well on the Friday he was coming back to the states he called from the airport and asked if I had heard anything...I told him my tests came back good and he was really quiet and he could only say, "What did they say about me?" His count was great. You could hear the relief on the other end of the phone. We have a joke that he has olympic swimmers!! LOL The male ego is fragile and I say that not being mean but being honest. Our guys are very sensitive...they are big bad men but there is a part of them that is still a little boy. I try to be careful with what I do with that knowledge. :o) I feel sorry for him sometimes because I know it is in a man's nature to want to fix things for their wives and he said he feels helpless with this situation at times. I guess we are learning to depend on God more and more through this situation. :o)
Linds I am right behind I think with DPO - I think I am at 6 dpo...like i said a while back I have not been too focused this time. Lovemy3 you will get your BFP, then Linds, and then me. How cool will that be to keep logging on and seeing all of the BFP's starting with Lovemy3, Linds, then me, and then JB. Awesome!!! I am praying!!!!
Celestia...still thinking of you girl!!!
Lovemy3 I have heard about Proverbs31 Women ministries I think but I do not know a lot about it. I love listening to Beth Moore...she is so funny and she is relateable.
DMIL is here and things are going good. We did the whole swapping lipstick colors we did not like....she saves her darks for me and I give her my pinks and light colors. She bought me a wrap to match a swimsuit she bought me this past summer. Hopefully I will be too large to wear it next summer... :o) Hopefully I will be really big & pregnant when summer arrives next year. She did tell me about a news clip on Good Morning America (it is one of those early morning shows that I never watch because I am running out the door to trying to get to work). It was about "ConceptionMoons." Have you guys heard of that? it is where a couple takes a vacation for the sole purpose of conceiving. And the results are like 4 out of 10 that actually conceive!!! Prett interesting...you can probably pull it up from the archive from the show. Ya'll have a good weekend!!!

lovemy3, I'm doing okay. I'm actually not bitter toward him. I've been talking to him via email and I told him that I want to continue being friends with him, even though we aren't going to be married anymore. I know that sounds crazy, but I think it just comes down to we both have different ideas of what a marriage should be. I wish I had known this was his idea of marriage 4 years ago, then I wouldn't have married him in the first place, but I think we should still move apart from one another and be just friends, maybe acquaintances. I told him that I hope he has a great future with someone else and wished him well. I don't know if I forgive him, per say, but I guess I do cause, yes, it hurts, but I'm not bitter. I don't have any bitterness in my heart toward him. I still love him.

linds, I'm trying to be strong...it's sooo hard. There are times when I feel ready to leave him, good about leaving him, and then other times I feel so depressed, thinking, "Am I doing what's right? Should I go back to him?" I hate these feelings, but I guess ultimately, I have to figure out if I want to keep putting up with his crap, which I don't. I know it will happen again if I go back to him, and I just don't want to deal with it.

angelkitty, you are so right about male egos...so right. I find myself having to stroke his ego at times, just to keep things happy. Your husband sounds sweet though. I hope lovemy3 1st gets BFP, then me then you angelkitty, and JB, this thread will be a lucky one then!! And why shouldn't it be with all the positive energy and thoughts. Celestia, I believe you when you say you still love him, and why shouldn't you? You are the one that never cheated on him, your conscious is free and your heart of love for him would not allow you to cheat on him. The fact that he is a repeat offender really does put a big question mark on what this guy thinks is really love. But you know that already, which is why you moved out, to prove your point, and to be true to yourself and the way love is supposed to be, which is honest and truthful. I think you sound like such a level-headed, beautiful woman, and can picture his ass crying at night wondering "why the hell did I do that to her." Let him wallow in his own pity for a while, and then, when time heals some of the pain, you can make a decision, with him, whether your marriage is repairable. But he really needs to be sincere about fixing his flaws and own up to them. I know this is weird, but I always believe that everyone deserves forgiveness when they are truly sorry and can prove it. He's gonna need a lot of proving to do...
