Hey everyone!! Slow, my cycle was very different this past time also. I had NO signs of it coming, no cramps or anything. It only lasted 4 days vs. the normal 7 I have. I am due for my next cycle in three weeks, so I am excited!! DH is also excited, which makes me very happy. I have to admit though, I am kinda nervous about it. What happens if it takes forever again or what if it happens with another m/s. I guess these feelings are normal. I have been loosing weight being off the medication. I have gone down a whole pant size…….YES back into my size 12. (sorry, that’s probably fat compared to you guys……LOL) Whynotme, how are you feeling? Are your clothes fitting still? Thayward, I am SUPER excited for you. I know you’re counting down the days. I am counting for you also!!

Hey Gals... Mon and Slow isn't it amazing how quickly the time actually passes. I remember thinking the 2 months would last forever - mind you, I don't forget the 3 weeks I was in a terrible state of sadness. Anyway, I am well. Still no AF. I think I may have O'd later than I thought. I had 3 different days marked on my calendar because I wasn't sure. When I am on the clomid I can really feel ovulation. Even the first cycle off I could really feel it, but this cycle (2nd cycle break) I wasn't exactly sure. So, we'll see - I think I should start tomorrow or the next day if I O'd on the last of the 3 days I wrote on my calendar. I can't wait for us all to get our BFPs! We are doing standardized tests right now at school which makes for boring days for me. I am used to being very animated and active in the classroom and this week I feel like I am just staring at a stop-watch. Well ladies, I hope you have a great day tomorrow. Whynot, how are you girl? Smiles and Babydust... T

P.S. Mon, don't ever say that about yourself!!! I am currently a size 14-16. Be proud of who you are! Smiles and Babydust... T

Good Morning Gals! YAHOO AF!!!! SO, yes, I am happy that she has arrived this morning. How is everyone else today? I'll call the clinic this morning to see the next step. YAHOO!!!! Smiles and Babydust... T

Hey everyone!! Thayward, I am so happy that AF has arrived!! Now the countdown is really on for you. I really really hope this is your cycle for BFP....matter of fact, I don't hope it is, I KNOW it will be!!! Slow and I are right behind you guys......LOL........... Today is just yucky out. It's dark and cooler than normal. I am sitting in my office just looking out the window wishing I was somewhere warm and sunny.......LOL. Okay, better get back to work. BABY DUST TO ALL

Hey girls! Mon, my clothes are still fitting (fingers crossed). LOL! I have been too sick to eat like crazy, so my weight has probably pretty much stayed the same. I do notice that I'm getting really mushy around the middle though. Maybe that's what happens before it gets big and round! HA! Oh and I wear a size 12 also. I read that size 12 is the national average for women! Well I have to go, just wanted to check in. T-congrats on af coming! You are on your way girl! Jamie, how are you??

Hey Girls... I called the clinic - but OF COURSE played phone tag. So, I know nothing. I hope and pray that we can connect tomorrow because I am suppose to start my clomid on day 3. Thanks for your positive thoughts Mon and Whynot! The weather here has been rain, rain, rain. I don't mind so much - it's better than the snow - except the school yard is a muddy mess! The kids love it though. So, Mon, you must be getting excited girl! Next cycle right! Whynot - what's the latest with you? Any appointments lately? You must be so excited too, to have that little soul growing inside of you! I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow! Smiles and Babydust... T

Hey Thayward!! I think I am ovulating. My left side is killing me, which is my usual sign. I am guessing that means my body is back to normal because I had no signs last month. However, that means AF will be here in about 2 weeks which is right on note!! YES I AM EXCITED!!!! I can't wait to at least start trying again. We have had rain, rain, rain too........yuck!!! But our positive here is the World Series....GO DETROIT TIGERS!!! I am going to game 1 on Saturday, so that should be a blast. (I better get a few beers before I start my meds again! hahahaha)
Well, baby dust to all and hope everyone has a great day.

Hey girls. Nothing new really to report. I have my first ob appt. next Wed. I took the day off and my mom is going with me. She will probably want to do some shopping for the baby already! LOL! I am very excited and very scared at the same time. I mean you wait for years and years and it finally gets here, and BAM! You are like, what now?? HE HE HE... I just can't wait to hold this little baby and be a mommy. I just need to get through the first trimester so that I can really enjoy being pregnant. Have a great day girls!

whynotme, trust me....you will have plenty of time to enjoy being pregnant. By the time you are 8 months, you will so be ready to get that baby out into the world!! The best part of the 2nd and 3rd trimester is your dear family spoiling you because you are pregnant!! SIt back and enjoy the ride!!!

hey girls how is everyone doing today?MONTIE-12 is not fat i am in a 10 i consider myself fat even though every one else says i am not.THAY-glad a/f showed for you and you didnt have to take medication for it to show. thats always good.WHYNOT-i think that you will fly through the first trimester. i am sure everything will be just fine. i am rooting for each of you.

Hey Gals! Good Morning. So, I will start my Clomid today and my injections start on Tuesday, then I leave on Wednesday so I can arrive for my first ultrasound and b/w on Thursday. Yahoo! The roller coaster has started again. WHYNOT- you must be so excited for Wednesday! Be sure to let us know how everything goes and enjoy the shopping and spoiling! MON - that's great that you feel your body returning to normal! It'll be your turn to try again so soon! SLOW - it's nice to hear from you. How are you doing? Smiles and Babyduts... T

Hey T, that's great about starting the whole process again. I wish the best of luck!!!! I thought that you were going to take repronex or something like that this time?? Did the Dr. change his mind and just do clomid again? How many Mg.'s this time? Mon, that's so great about your body getting back to normal. I know that you are getting so excited to start trying again. Don't worry, it will happen for you, you just have to have faith!! Jamie, you are going to be trying in Dec. right?? Wow, time flies doesn't it?? Have a great day girls.

Hey Gals! Whynot, I am doing a Clomid/Reprones combo. I am taking Clomid days 3-7 and Repronex days 6 and 7, then ultrasound on day 8 to see if I need to continue with the Repronex. I am feeling the effects of the Clomid - just when I was back to my "normal self" - my friend says it's "code rage" because I am so emotionally charged. I fly into sadness, anger whatever so quickly. BUT...I am so happy and excited that I don't care. So, tomorrow will be my first day of injections. Smiles and Babydust to all! ... T

Hey everyone. Nothing much going on here, just trying to make it through the day. Thank goodness it's the end of the day and almost bedtime. LOL........it's cold and rainy with some snow. YUCK!! This weather just depresses me. Glad you are on your way Thayward. I am almost there. The end of next week I will get to start!! WHynotme, how you feeling? I am so very happy for you!! (just thought I would tell you that again....LOL)

Awwww...Thanks Mon! I am feeling much better these days (((((knocking on wood)))))). It's kind of weird because I am almost feeling back to normal except for that I feel like a big fat blubber butt! HE HE...It seems as if everything gets really mushy at first. Is that how it was with you first child Mon?? I have my first prenatel appt. tomorrow so I am taking the day off. My mom is going with me because dh couldn't get off work. I wonder if they are going to do an u/s? Hmmmmm...T - Just try to hang in there girl with the side effects. I know how they can get so frustrating, but in the end it's all worth it. I don't remember if you told me how long your luteal phase is?? It seems like that 2nd HCG trigger shot was the magic key for me. You might want to check into it if you luteal phase isn't very long. So, I don't know if I told you guys this, but we have only 1 vial left from the same donor and I am torn between whether we should purchase more or just wait until after this child is born? What do you guys think?? I mean, if we were to have another child I would want it to be with the same donor, but I'm sure that 2 or 3 years from now he might not be around anymore. Do you guys think that we should buy more?
