hey thay there was a girl on here not long ago on one of the other threads that i talk on that didnt get a bfp until a week and a half after a/f was due. so there is always hope. good luck to you.

Thanks SLOW - I am trying to be positive... I have had some different "symptoms" this time, and some "usual" ones. I have been SUPER moody though - grrr.... I just want this to work. I know there is still a chance, so I am trying to hang-on to that. Thanks for reminding me of that. How are you doing? Smiles... T

hey thay- i am doing good. here is a link so that you can look at pics of my family and me. the pics labeled jamie are me and the ones that say jessie are dh. i have neices and nephews and sisters and his parents and his grandparents you name it on there. i even have a few of my horses on it. here is the link and remember to take out any dashes or underscores that appear. http://slowpoke01.spaces.live.com/ sometimes implantation doesnt take place until day 12 or 13 so you wont get a + until later. although i know that it is disheartening when you dont see a+ on day 10 or 11 like you see women getting all the time. i didnt get my + until day 13 last time so dont give up hope until a/f shows. i know it is hard to do though. we are here for you no matter what but we so need a BFP BFP BFP BFP BFP on here. lol. we are long overdue to have one on here so i am totally rooting for you to get the first one of the new year and kick things in motion for me and montie and the others who are waiting for theirs..lol..good luck to you email me if you want to talk about anything.

Hey Girls.... Another BFN. With each day, I become more discouraged. Tomorrow will be 14 days post IUI - I have to call the clinic on day 15 if I don't have a period so that I can get a beta done. The progesterone stopped my period from coming last time. This just sucks. I feel like I need a vacation. Hope you gals have a better day than I am having already. Smiles and Babydust to you... T

I started spotting late this afternoon. I know this is the witch because the cramping started about 30 minutes ago. GRRRR!!!!!! I think I need to take a day off and re-group. Make a plan about how I am going to take better care of myself... etc. etc. I have to fill my life so that THIS isn't it. I'll call the clinic tomorrow to report my day 1, then I'll find out if I can try again, or if this is my 2 month break time. I am so discouraged, so sad, so depressed, so angry with my body.... why won't it do what it is suppose to do. Hope you girls are well... T

Thayward, I am sorry for your disappointment. Unfortunately, I can relate oh too well. This is why I am taking a break. I just can’t keep doing this to myself. I need something else to focus on for awhile, like myself. I am dieting, working out and getting ready to start tanning for my cruise. OMG, I am starting to feel good about myself again. I had new highlights put in my hair and I am feeling “NEW” again. I know that doesn’t help you now. Sorry. Please stay focused. We are all very strong ladies!! Let me know what your RE says about the break or the green light to continue. I will pray for you!! Love you sweetie. Hey SLOW………where are ya?? How are you doing these days? Have you started kick boxing??

Thanks MON. I called the clinic. I stayed home today. I'm making my plans - and surprisingly I am doing okay. I guess I knew this cycle didn't work - I cried it out yesterday. I'll let you know what the clinic says. I know next month I'm suppose to have that polyp removed - so we'll see. I'm glad to hear you are feeling well - I think that's what the three of us need (Slow, you and I)... we need to take care of ourselves and not be soooooooo focussed on TTC. I'll bet when we are all feeling renewed, and not so TTC obsessed, that's when it'll happen. Hope you have a happy day. Smiles.... T

Thayward, I totally agree with you!! I think we all need a refresher break. Somewhere in this TTC I lost myself. It feels good to do something for myself again. I find I don’t worry so much now, I am not frustrated at the world…..and I have to say, it’s a wonderful feeling!! I pray that once we pick it back up that this break will have helped!! You know what Thayward, I know it will have helped!! Whatever happens with your next cycle, I am here for you!! Enjoy your day off sweetie.

Thanks MON! I just got off the phone with the clinic. They said one month off - because I had 2 bigger follies and 14 smaller ones - so we'll see after I have my polyp removed, it'll likely be 2 months - but that's okay. What will be, will be and I am okay with it. The nurse I spoke with said my RE doesn't want me to use that donor I used because of the severe reaction I had to it. So, the sperm bank will exchange the other two I have left for my old donor - the one I liked best! Isn't it weird how things like that work out! They were worried that I would have a more severe reaction if I used him again, and I never had any problems with the original one - so we'll see. The nurse was very sweet and understanding, and for the first time, I didn't even cry. I think I've realized the same as you... I've lost myself in this whole process and need to figure sh** out in the next month or two. Re-group. Let's stay in touch though - even though the 3 of us aren't technically ttc right now . I've cried a couple of times today - only when I have had to tell people that it didn't work again. And, I'm sure when I am back at work tomorrow I'll shed a few more tears, but honestly, I feel okay. I feel like this happened so that I could "find myself" again. Hope you are having a good day. Smiles and Babydust... T

Do you have an email address? I would love to keep in touch always with you!! It's alright to cry Thayward, you are a woman. That's what we do best!! I think everything happens for a reason!! I think this happened to you because of the change of donor!! See......that is a good sign. We are all on your side.

THAY-i am so sorry to hear about a/f. i know that you dont want to hear this right now, but a break may do you good. i am doing good this time on the break. we will all be starting again at the same time. also that may be a good sign that you are back using the first donor that you started with. i am all about signs. i think that once we all feel better about us and forget a little about ttc and focus on us more that good things will happen for each of us. we are all so wrapped up in it that we sometimes forget about us and i think that we need to focus more on us for awhile. my email is [email protected] if you ever want to chat. take care. MONTIE- i am doing good just been busy and cold around here so i havent been online much. i am going to start charting my bbt's on fertility friend. i have ordered a basal body thermometer so that i can start charting. i think that it may be good to start that and maybe i wont be so focused on everything else and i will know for sure if a/f is coming or not by my temps so i think that will take some of the stress off a little. take care and dont leave us we are still here. good luck

Hey SLOW! I agree - things will be better for all three of us. I am throwing out my thermometer! So I laughed when I read that you ordered one. I never really got the hang-of temping first thing in the morning, but I got obsessive about temping any time I had a minute! I hope it works better for you! LOL! I am so into signs too. I got a chinese fortune just before last cycle that said "good things will come to you in due time".... I think that's a good one for all of us. Let's keep in touch! Smiles and Babydust... T P.S. Mon and Slow, here is my e-mail. [email protected]

thay- that is too funny. the only reason that i am going to start testing is just to see if i get a triphasic chart and then i will know for sure that i am pregnant without having to use a hpt at all..lol..i am going to start charting on fertility friend. i think that it will keep the anxiety down when i am wanting so badly to test..lol..good luck to u. take care
