Hi ladies. Welcome Chi-girl! Ginger, sounds like there's some exciting things on the horizon for you, huh? You must be really excited! Kristi, I had that same pink today, but it's not the same as all the spotting I used to have. I wonder what it is? Hmmmm. Sorry I forgot, what CD are you today? I believe you're a few days ahead of me if I remember right. Shawna, so glad to hear you had a great holiday. I can't wait for Christmas this year. It'll be the first time in YEARS that ALL of my cousins (there's lots of us) are gonna be together again and we're all super close, so it's gonna be such a blast. Plus, I'm determined to be announcing a pregnancy for the holidays! Oh, AND I'm gonna have 11 consecutive days off, and only 3 of them will have to be vacation time! How nice will that be!? So what's with the sore boobs Shawna? where are you in your cycle? As for me, I'm waiting on a call back on my labs. I'll keep ya'all posted.

Mel, I am on cd28 today...how about you?

Ok Ginger....girl, is that you on that thread where everyone is fighting with some girl called Lin??? What the hell is the deal there?? I really didnt even understand her question to begin with, but wow, you were right when you said it was getting amusing...I was sitting here chuckling at my desk while I was reading through it....geez... ;-)

Kristi, I am sad to admit that IS me fighting with Lin. But I have given up on it--she's a lost cause. If you want some background she started a thread last week called "I have never been so angry" on this forum, from there things got ugly. Really, I have tried to be plesant to her but she's really gotten my goat lately. I have seen her post on other forums here at preg-info.net and she can be quite bitter and condesending in her posts (that's what all those references to things she's said in the past are about). I had just had it with her. I am not generally an argumentative person, and this is the first time I've spoken out to her, but I felt like it needed to be done. Please excuse my unladylike *wink*wink behavior. :)

btw, that was NOT me who just left that foul-mouthed post---I would never go that far.

Hi guys! I just read that other thread myself this morning and was quite shocked to say the least, but then it ocurred to me, Lin has made comments to me early on that I felt were totally insensitive, but since I was so new at this I just assumed I didn't know her well enough and that I was taking things wrong. It was enough to make me veer away from her thread though. Hmmm, so interesting. I'm so glad we don't have that sort of BS here! Anyway, check this out... So I got my labs back and the nurse told me I was going to laugh when I heard my numbers. She said normally, a "high" number for Progesterone would be 25. She said mine was either a 61.8 or a 68.1, I don't remember now which! So, I definitely ovulated! Then she said that possibly the numbers were so high because I may have "dropped multiple eggs!" She said I have a really good chance this month. WOW! I can't believe it. I guess my 100 mg Clomid really worked after all! And now, not even 5 minutes ago, as I was beginning to type this, something happened that really threw me. 1st let me say, though I'm hopeful, I don't FEEL pregnant at all. But all of a sudden after eating some cereal I was overwhelmed with the feeling I was going to puke. It was such a strong sensation that I ended up next to the toilet bowl trying to breathe it away.... which ended up working, thank God! So now I'm wondering, could I actually be pg and starting side effects very early on? Isn't it too early for such things????? Oh, I'm CD24 today.

Hey Mel, I hear your point about staying away from Lin. I am definitely going to take that advice from now on. She's a real bummer and her "blunt" advice is often more than a bit insensitive (I too have had experience with her posts in the "signs of PG" forum). But enough about that: you have some real news! those are some pretty fabulous numbers!!! I can't really say that your symptoms are b/c of you are pregnant, but they do sound very promising. My fingers and toes are crossed for you!!Are you on medication that would make you ovulate more than one follicle?

duh! You clearly said the "Clomid" was working. Man, I am off today. :)

Ginger, that Lin is something else...and that new post is pretty vicious! I agree that I am glad we do not have any of that going on here! Moving on...Mel, wow! Those are awesome numbers! Here I am on 150mg and only get a 10.8, you must have really had a good one! So how many dpo are you? Have you thought about testing yet? I am pulling for you! Still nothing going on with me...my temps went down a little bit, but are still high, so who knows. There is still a little light light pink or brown color to the toilet paper when I wipe, but not much, so I am just waiting still. I have one more test left at home, so if no AF by Sat I will test again then. But I am starting to feel a little crampy this morning, so I am not getting my hopes up...too much anyway ;-) Shawna, where are you???

I'm here!!! Mel, wowzers, I am so excited for you!!! Those numbers are incredibly high. Any other possible symptoms? Sore boobs? I can't wait for you to test!When will that be? Kristi, I hope AF doesn't show up, it would make your life so much easier this next cycle. Have you made any decisions? Ginger, wow it sounds like you have a lot of great things happening this week! I believe you will be the first one on this thread to have an IUI done. Good luck with it and please tell us all about it! As for me, I have another head cold settling in. My throat is sore and my sinuses are hurting. My boobs are still sore, not just my nips this time, which I hope is promising! Alexander made it onto the tier 2 hockey team in his his year of novice, so we are pretty excited about that. His first team skate is Friday night and he is pretty excited. I am feeling really good about this thread now, something big is going to happen!!!

Kristi, I'm only 9DPO which is why I think it's too early to feel any symptoms. I'm really trying to not get my hopes up until any other signs come up. AF is due to arrive Monday, and FF says Sunday would be the earliest to test, though it also said I O'd earlier than I think I did. So, I'm not sure when I'll test if I do. Thanks for your well wishes Ginger!

Hey Shawna, we were posting at the same time yesterday, so i didn't see yours until this morning. No, I don't have any other symptoms, at least none that are strong enough to be certain they're not all in my head! I am just getting over a cold myself, I hope you feel better soon! So, perhaps your soor boobs is a good thing, huh!? When is AF due? I think I'll test later this weekend if I still don't have any signs of AF. Started spotting this morning, but it wasn't the usual color, so I'm not sure what to make of it. Ginger, just one more day, huh? Are you getting excited? I forget, is this your first procedure or have you had it done before? Kristi, are you having any symptoms of possible pg yet? We're SO due for another BFP! Oh, I forgot to give my go ahead for the new thread. I say it's time too! Shawna, you feel like doing some more creative artwork in the title? Happy Thursday ladies!

Shawna, hope your feeling better. Ginger, one more day till IUI...I will be praying for good swimmers! Mel, what is your spottying normally like and what is it like now? I normally spot 2-4 day before AF and it is usually brown and sometimes will have some small clots in it, and when I have a bowell movement (sorry tmi!) it is bright red.. However right now I dont know if what I am having I would classify as spotting in regards to my normal spotting. Still no AF, temps are still up there, but falling a little the last couple days, and when I wipe the tp is either very lighly pinkish or like a dry brown tint to it and no red during the bowell movements.... However, I keep wondering if maybe getting the polyps out and all that will make my pre AF spotting stop... I dont know. No sysmptoms of anything really, I am feeling a little crampy today..I am cd30, so I am only one day late, and maybe not that, I think I have in the past gone 31 days before AF, so who knows. If no AF by Sat, I will test then. Well, everyone is doing well and have a great day!

Hmmmm Kristi, you're already a day late, huh? Interesting! I don't know how you can hold off until Saturday, that's very patient of you! My spotting normally is for two weeks before AF, which was why they started me on another med this month. So, it's hard to say what's really normal for me. But it's usually brown. This time it started those couple of days ago as a barely noticeable light pink spot when I wipe. Now today it was red. AF is due Monday, so maybe it's the real spotting before AF, as Monday is only four days away. I didn't feel sick at all this morning, so I'm not sure what that was all about yesterday. Maybe all the other little things I've been noticing (like way more watery mucus than usual all week long) are all in my head. God knows we tend to imagine things at this stage in the cycle, huh!? I guess time will tell.

Thanks for all the well-wishes, girls. Shawna congrats on your star hockey player--that's great! Mel, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Kristi, keep us posted. So, this is the first time for an IUI for me, so I don't really know what to expect. I had my HCG shot to trigger ovulation yesterday afternoon, so everything is lined up for tomorrow.

Hello Ladies, Well nothing really new to report. I am CD27 today. I was not keeping up with my temps this month so I dont know when I O'd. My temp the last two days have been really high, I have never had a 98.7 in my charting. This month I started out at 96.6 and around there. Then in the last 5 days I have had really high temps....all in the 98s. I am not ill either. SOOOOO weird. SHAWNA...thank you for the message on myspace...I really needed that. You really need a better pic tho...Its so tiny. lol. MEL.... sounds good for you this month. Good Luck. Hello all the newish ladies...I hope you are all well. GINGER..... GL with the procedure.
