What happened? Did everyone fall off the face of the earth, or what!? Well, as of Saturday I STILL hadn't received my thermometer. I emailed the guy and he hasn't responded, so if it's not there today I'll be REALLY upset! Go figure, the one who searches and finally tracks it down gets screwed in the end! ; ) Now that I think of it, I still haven't heard from the doc yet either. I'll call her now. Well, I hope you're all doing well. Where does everyone stand so far this month on their TTC??

Hey, I have not feel off the face of the earth YET!!!! Bummer on no thermometer stepmommel. I got mine on the 1st in Canada so your should have gotten there too. He put insurance on mine, did he for you? I really love mine. Not to rub it in. Sorry. Also I bought the book duh what is it called....Taking control of your fertility...thats it. It is late. My brain is not functioning. We just got back from dh's drs appt in Saskatoon and she said not to retest SA for another 4 months and I thought we were doing one in 2 weeks so I am a bit disappointed...she said you cant see signifigant results for 6 months after the varicocele surgery soooooo here we wait to see. I guess that will give me time to get some idea about my cycles and such. Anyways, hope you all are well...Shawna, Elena, Kristi, Sarahlynn, and stepmommel too. I hope I didn't miss anyone...oh Serinamali was here for one post so...hope you are well too in Japan.....Love you guys talk soon.

HI ladies...I am still here!! Sorry have not been here...actually, I have been reading, just have not had time to write...been trying to get caught up from vacation!! Not much to report...I am on cd 18, have Dr appt Friday morning....so just kinda in between stuff now. not sure if I O'd or not or when, my temps have been wacky, am wondering if it is the 100mg Clomid messing them up....when I was on the 50mg they were fine, and since going on the 100mg I cant seem to get a clear reading. So who knows. I am very tired today, had too much going on over the weekend and last night and not enough rest....once I get home tonight, I am doing NOTHING for the rest of the eve.... ;-) Well, hope all is going well for everyone, will try to get back at least every couple days!! I will for sure let everyone know how the Dr appt goes!! Later!!

Hi! I am on cd17. Kristi, I feel your pain! I have no idea if I ovulated yet or if I am going to. My dr doesn't want me temping or using opks because he thinks they add to the stress level of ttc. But I think not knowing what's going on with your body is worse! I go to the dr on the 15 which I think will be cd26. Good luck with your appt Kristi! Are you going to get him to determine if you ovulated? What else are you going there for, if you don't mind me asking? Stepmommel, that really sucks about your thermometer. I hope you get it soon. What kind of surgery did your dh have Shauna? You used too many big words!!! Just kidding! Well, I'm off, I have a meeting to go to! Take care!

Shawna, my dr just has me come in every 2 months to see how things are going, she really does not DO anything, just looks over my temps and see's how I am feeling.... I will be on cd 21 when I go, so I think she may check my progesterone levels which will indicate if I o'd or not I think....we have only done that one time as you have to take that test on cd 20-23 or something for it tell them what they want to know, and there has only been one other appt that I went in at that time.... Anyhow, I am really hoping she will schedule the HSG now that I am on my 4th month (this round) of the clomid..... We will see I suppose!!

Glad to see you guys back! Was starting to worry! :) So, I still haven't received my thermometer, but the guy is telling me he'll send it again, so hopefully this time there won't be a problem. In the meantime, my temps are again all over the place - I'd like to say it's probably a dying battery in my old thermometer, but I'm sure that's not the case... I wish it were that simple! My doc is flaking now, she hasn't called like she said she'd do by yesterday, so I had to call in myself. Got my lab results and they tell me they're within "normal" range, but from everything i'm reading on line, I think my Estradiol (sp?) is high, which could mean a problem with my eggs (surprise surprise). Mine was a 115 and it says anything over 75 is considered high. Everything else looked, good, but then something else I read said that if the Estradiol is high, it could make the FSH look low when in reality it's actually high too. So, I am not as excited about the "good" number they gave me on the FSH either. At this point I'm really starting to just want to give up. My efforts seem futile, and I'm not even referring to my BD efforts, but more just with my efforts to get help with O'ing so BDing will be more productive! And in the meantime, more and more friends who've been having trouble TTC themselves are getting pregnant which only makes me feel like I'm really NEVER gonna have that blessing! ARGH!! oh well. Sorry. I'm just venting. Anyway, it's great to see you all back again, and I'll keep you posted if anything new comes up. For now, we're headed to the Sammy Hagar concert in town... Have a great night!

 

stepmommel - June 7

Hmmm.. Apparently somebody felt my frustration in all that venting. It's been all but maybe 1/2 hour since I wrote last and suddenly my doc calls... at 6:00 pm! how weird is that? Didn't have too much to tell me except that she's still working on consulting with who my potentially become my OB/GYN soon so that we can start the Clomid next month. I didn't ask about the numbers. I'm starting to think that maybe all my reading up on this stuff is making me a hypochondriac in a sense and perhaps I should just leave it up to the professionals. I'm scheduled for another set of blood tests on 6/19 to see how I am mid cycle hormone-wise, and by then we should be good to go... I'd hope, anyway. So, that's my latest. I'm in a wee bit better mood after hearing from her. Now, back to getting ready for our concert. (How are you liking the book by the way Shauna?)

 

Shauna - June 7

Hi ladies, You're back....yah!!!! Well not much new with me just reading my book. I just finished the chapter called ...THERE IS MORE TO YOUR REPRODUCTIVE ANATOMY THAN YOUR VAGINA. It was very good. I actually in all honesty did not know where my clitoris was....I thought it was lower down. Hee Hee. Anyways...Shawna...my husband had a varicose vein in his left testicle cut and tied the end of March. The varicose vein caused low sperm count. So we are hoping for improvement although the statistics are not great for that. Worth a try if it can help things along. Stepmommel...hope you get your thermometre soon. Kristi hope the dr. appt goes well for you. And I need to go night night. So tired. TTYL

Anybody else having headaches from clomid? What about hot flashes? I am on cd18 and I am still having the hot flashes. Actually, they only just started about a week ago. It was the same last month. I am really curious and anxious about my dr appt next week. How is everyone else? I am going to start a new thread, same name, because this one takes too long to come up! Look for it!
