hey girls how is everyone. i am good. i have been pretty busy around here. just wanted to pop in. THAY-have you taken a pregnancy test lately? i mean it is possible that you are pregnant. i read on here where a girls beta was - so they gave her progesterone pills and after she took them a/f still didnt show. she took a pregnancy test and it came back +. so i would suggest that maybe you take one to be sure. good luck. hello flgl, montie, whynot, thay, and anyone else that i have missed.

Hi Girls! Glad to hear everyone is okay after a weekend of everyone being MIA. WHYNOT- sorry about the morning sickness! I've heard it's a sign that little one is really sticking! MON - a 6 girl slumber? WOW! You MUST be exhausted! I'm sure your DD will remember it always. You must be SO excited about trying again! All the side-effects suck, but it helps you to know the drugs are working! I am praying that this is your cycle. SLOW - your post made me smile. I WISH it was possible that I was pregnant, but unless it was the immaculate conception, it isn't possible. I am using a donor because I am doing this on my own... so... no BDing for me LOL! How are you doing? Still no AF here, but I know she's on her way - I always get sore boobs just before and they hurt like crazy today. It's actually worked out okay because I was worried about being away during "report card time" and I will have time to get them done before I go back out of town. So, looks like another week or 2 before I officially try again. Smiles and Babydust... T

Hey girls. Just wanted to check in to see what's new. Nothing new with me, just the same old, same old. I was having a pretty ok day until just about 15 minutes ago. Now I have the worst headache known to man! HA! If it's not one thing it's another! LOL! T, that's great af is coming, you will soon be on the 2WW! Mon, I am so excited that you will be having your IUI fri or sat. I am sending lots of baby dust your way! flgirl, any news on your friends arrival from the war??

 

thayward7 - November 15

MON- that is so exciting! I will be thinking of you tomorrow and thinking fertile follie thoughts! WHYNOT - sorry about your headache - that's no fun!
Well, only spotting today - so day 1 may be tomorrow for me. We'll see! Hope everyone had a nice day. Smiles and Babydust... T

THAY- i am so sorry i cant believe how scatter brained i am i knew that you were using a donor. i dont know where my brain has been. a/f showed for me sunday and she is being a real bitch this month. no sore boobs but cramps so bad that i am doubled over..oh well i think that is usually what happens the 2nd month after a tubal pregnancy. MONTIE- i am getting excited too. i cant wait until a/f shows in dec. i have a feeling that i will get a + right after christmas . good luck to you. WHYNOT- so sorry about the headache i know how they feel i get migraines all the time from stress. take care all

SLOW - NO WORRIES GIRL! Your post made me smile! Some of my friends keep suggesting that I try to get "some action on the side" - just for added security! LOL! But, that's not me. You definitely added a smile to my day! So, I feel hopeful for both of us this cycle. It's frightening to feel hopeful - it's such a let down when it doesn't work - but it's got to work one of these times... Right?! December is right around the corner! Hope you have a great day! Smiles and Babydust... T

Good morning ladies. Just got back from my u/s and not really sure how I feel about it. The nurse that did it wasn’t the nicest person and kinda left me hanging with questions. Anyway, I have only one follicle this month and it’s on my right side. I guess that’s were my disappointment stems from. With the clomid I would have at least two follicles sometimes three. So my question is…….what did the Femara really do for me this month? Today is cycle day 12, and the nurse said my follicle was not quite ready. She didn’t give me the size of it, so I have no clue. Last month I ovulated exactly on cd14 so I am nervous that they won’t want to do the IUI due to the follicle being too small. I have to call my RE this afternoon at 3:00 today for my results. (blood work and follicle size) I don’t want to get my hopes all up over one follicle yet I don’t want to be negative……..so what do I do?? As excited as I am about do this procedure, the more I really hate this!!!! UGH.

 

whynotme - November 15

Hey Mon, sorry to hear about the one follicle. Just remember it only takes one!!! Some of it is to do with science and the dr's, but the rest is up to GOD! If you are not sure about Femara then you need to tell your dr. you want to go back on clomid. Are you able to do clomid again after taking it for so long?? Keep your head up girl, I know that it's going to work!!!! T, I'm so happy that af is starting to show for you. You are one step closer to trying again! Slow, I'm sorry for the really bad af. But I guess that's what happens after a tubal pregnancy. It will get better. Well I'm chatting with my mom right now so I will let you go.

Hi ladies. Thank you for the comforting words Whynotme. I do appreciate it. Matter of fact, I have good news. I just spoke to my RE with all of my results. I get to take my trigger tomorrow night with my IUI on Saturday morning. Okay, now the numbers. Well, I have 10 small follicles on my left side. Nothing over 5mm so they are all considered non-viable. My one precious follicle on the right is currently at 17mm which my RE told me was very good. She said it should be at 21-23mm by Saturday. My estrogen is at a 90 which is average and will climb until Saturday. So she told me all looks great this cycle and now we pray that the little guys swim their hearts out on Saturday morning!!! LOL. Enough about me………how is everyone else doing?

 

thayward7 - November 15

MON - I'm glad to hear that follie is a good one after all. That is such good news... and it could be THE one! It's such an exciting time. I am thinking of you! WHYNOT - How are you feeling girl?
As for me, still only spotting today - so maybe day 1 will be tomorrow? Hope everyone had a great day! Smiles and Babydust... T

 

thayward7 - November 15

SLOW - how are you today? Smiles and Babydust... T

 

slowpoke01 - November 16

hey girls- MONTIE-sorry that the nurse didnt tell you anything but it turned into good news anyway. one good egg is better than none, and i have heard that femara produces less follicles but the follicles grow better.Thay- i am good. so glad that a/f showed for you as well. WHYNOT-how are u doing? well i just got through cooking homemade chicken and dumplings so i am gonna eat. take care all.

 

thayward7 - November 16

Hey Gals! I THINK today is day 1! I am just waiting until before I leave for work to be sure. I hope everyone has a happy day! Smiles and Babydust... T

 

montie75 - November 16

Hey gals!! T-do you normally spot for so long? I sure do hope today is your day 1….that would be wonderful news. Then you can join in my up coming tww. Hey Slow!! I love chicken and dumplings. Can you send me over some? I haven’t quite mastered the process yet. LOL!! Whynotme, hey toots. Are you starting to feel better today? I hope so, although…..a sick pregnant woman means a healthy pregnancy from what I hear. I am getting excited you guys and so is dh. I will take the trigger tonight!!! You know, the nice thing about Femara only giving you one follicle is I will have no chance for twins. (although I kinda wanted twins after all this hard work) Let’s end the year right ladies. Let’s all have our + between now and the end of the year!! Wouldn’t that just be wonderful? BABY DUST!!!
