tracy sorry to hear about cramps. I know how the suck. CC dh is sweet. so sweet. how cute... oh i did google it but nothing for fevers. Jcr glad to hear you are doing well. Lori i hope af doesn't show. lynn it is so weird hearing you say i want af to show but any chance that it could have happened. -------------------------anyone to clue the blond in here. (thats me!!) i dye my hair though light brown. I am trying to read what I missed the past 2 days and for the life of me I can't catch up. Who is doing injections? and what are they for? which treatment? I am sorry ladies. I am trying so hard to catch up. I keep saying I have got to get my knee up and I am trying to get to the couch. It really hurts bad. It is sooo painful. I am ready to cry. I keep telling dh he won't get out of the bd tonight but I really think we won't get to do it. but i won't tell him that.
be back soon.

I just wanted to give you guys an update. I got AF this morning at cd 34 :(
I have been really busy because the wedding is here. I will be back on Sunday to read what I have missed. Have a great weekend everyone!

JCR-please share your joy with us; don't ever think I am offended by it. I love to hear every detail. And how surprising is it that your child was giving you the ass??? CD28 today, AF should show any time. I had a blast at the water park yesterday. It's amazing how architects can make a slide scare the crap out of you!!!! I will catch up tonight after I get home from work. My niece and my mother are going to go to the Kennedy Space Center, so I'll have time tonight. Love you guys!!!

jcr, I was thrilled to read your whole post! It made me so happy for you, and so excited at what hopefully will be for me someday. Im glad everything is going perfectly so far and cant wait till you are able to "view" what you have in there! d, I am doing injections and so is Lori and Lynn. They are a stronger version of the Clomid pill, helps produce for follicles, and the RE can time ovulation so the timing should be controlled. EMM-sorry about AF. I was really hoping you would get a BFP this time. Tracy, you sound busy and happy. Enjoy your time. As for me-still doing fine. Dh gave a bad shot last night, it was bleeding and hurt. Still having headaches. I am starting to feel some small minor aches on both ovaries, so I guess its doing its thing ? I have no clue what I should be feeling. I am taking this med for a 6 days before the RE is seeing me for a ultrasound and b/w, is this normal ? I just dont want to get over stimulated and gets cysts and have to sit out a month if this month doesnt work. I am very paranoid of that. Lynn/Lori/Tracy, still hoping for NO af's for any of you!

Hi everybody! JCR - I live for your stories. It is like I NEED to know everything. When I was reading your post I was actually scanning ahead and hoping to see "boy" or "girl" which ever the case may be. I find it very exciting! CC - Wow, those shots scare me!! Sorry to hear that they are hurting you! It reminds me of years ago when we were ttc and DH had to give me a shot in the hip... long story short, he got scared and didn't give it enough force and the needle actually bounced off my hip and went flying! So, I hope that I can give them to myself! D - How is your knee today. I hope that you are not in pain today! Tracy - I am glad that you are having fun. How is your sun burn today? EMM - I am so sorry that AF showed on you! I can't remember, did you hear back from your DH's dr. yet, and what was said. Sorry if you posted it, but I am too lazy to look back. Lynn - how are you doing? CD 29 for me and no cramps what so ever, don't know what is up with that as I usually have bad cramps for about 3 days before AF. Oh well, it's always the same for me. Wait, hope, fail, try again. Check in later.

Hello Girls.....Happy Friday. I am going to be so happy to see April 13th at 11:30am. I am officially on my Easter/Spring Break until April 23rd. It is cd 27 for me and nothing to share. I am having some lower back pain so I am thinking AF is one her way. I also have the munches so.......I am betting on her. Anyway.....Lori, I chuckled why you said you try, wait, fail and try again. I can relate to that quote for sure. In there for me I would need to add...get BFP and then fail maintaining BFP. I am not going to get down and neither are you. We are going to do this chick, just takes us time to get perfections. CC, I am sorry the injection hurt a little. My dh has messed up also getting blood and it hurts bad. That is why I was so glad when I gave them last time in my leg. A girl I work with is on her 2ww with injections and she did her legs also so I am so hoping it has not changed for me. I will say at my RE, we only go 3 days between appointments when using injections. They try hard not to over simulate the ovaries. I felt twinges when I did it but not too bad. I do remember headaches so I am not looking forward to those again. I hope I can time it over break. D, Like CC said, injections is a stronger form of the oral meds they give. My understanding it is a pure form and everything is controlled with medication. Growing follies is controlled, when to O is controlled, when to BD and everything. Usually people who do not respond well to oral meds move to injections. How is that knee feeling? I could not imagine trying to BD with a knee in pain. Tracy, you sound like you are having so much fun. I wish I could get a little sun. I am like Casper and could scare someone with my white skin. EMM, I am sorry AF showed. I was hoping the delay was for a BFP. Have fun at the wedding. I am sure it is going to be good. We want to hear all about it when you return. jcr, I think we can all enjoy a little positive talk while going through this. It is nice to hear baby joys when you know you supported the person through troubles. Keep the stories coming, I think we would all like to be informed of your progress. check back later.

OK, I am here. My niece is with my mom tonight. Guys, you are scaring the crap out of me with the injections thing. I just can't stand headaches because I have suffered from them for soooo long, that inducing them seems like torture. I have mild cramps and just saw slight pink on the toilet paper. AF will most likely rear her ugly head in the morning. You know, I have expected her, but there is always disappointment when I know that I did not get lucky and accidentally get PG. My appointment with my new doc is Wednesday, so I just have to pray that he can make miracles happen soon. D--I'm sorry your knee is so messed up. That would really suck. Lori-my sunburn now itches, but is better. I had a blast with my niece. The lady at Starbucks thought she was my daughter. That was wierd. She is 14!!! That made me feel a little old, although I have many friends with kids her age. We do look a lot alike though, so I was also proud. Well, gonna go change clothes. Will check back in to see how all the injections are going.

Tracy....the headaches are not that bad. You might be able to ask for something safe to take to maybe make them milder. I also have migraines so I understand what your talking about. I figure if a headache gets me a BFP, I will try to stand the pain. Think about it before you rule it out.

REMEMBER LADIES, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!! AND YOU ARE ALL GOING TO HAVE PERFECT LITTLE ONES IN YOUR ARMS BEFORE TOO LONG. HANG IN THERE. BIG HUGS AND BELLYRUBS!!!

AF officially arrived. I'm OK, not sad, just ready to move on. Sad thing is this month is also going to probably be unmedicated since I will be seeing new doc on CD5, unless he instructs me to do clomid or something. This cycle is my strong ovary I presume, so he may want to try that with IUI or something. I'm willing to do that. I just really don't want to gain any weight. I'm working so hard at losing it. I have to get ready for work. I'll check in tonight. Hugs!!

Tracy, you never know. When I took femera for the first time, I took it on cd 5 - cd 9. Maybe ask his opinion about femera. I did not have nearly a fourth of the side effects on that one. It was a pleasant change from my psycho-clomid days. Cd 28 for me and nothing. I am having some slight lower back pain (I guess that is something) so maybe AF will show this weekend. If so, gosh that would be great. How is everyone this bright and sunny (in NC) Saturday? check back later

Ok, promise you won't think I am nuts. Because really I am an intelligent woman. But everytime I go into the bathroom, I smell baby powder! What the heck is up with that?! It kind of makes me paranoid to go into the bathroom!! Seriously, I am not psychotic at all!!! And I thought about not mentioning it, because I don't want anyone to think I am off my rocker!! In the realm of reality, I know it means nothing ... but, it does freak me out a little. Today is CD30 which means AF should be here tomorrow. I just feel bloated, no cramps or anything else to go along with it. Tracy - sorry AF showed on you, geez what is it gonna take to get another BFP on this thread?? Hopefully this coming month will do it for all of us and we will be posting one BFP after the other!! Lynn - we have a great week of weather coming up too. It is going to be in the whomping mid 60's all week! Today though, a lowly 44 for a high temp! Sorry to hear that you are having some back pain. CC - are the shots going any better for you? When is the last day that you will have to take them for this cycle? JCR - thanks for the cheer!! How are you feeling these days? How is your DH doing? He is back now, right? Well, have a great day! I'll check back in a bit.

Lori, you never know...maybe a sign? I am so banking on AF to arrive this weekend. I do not know if my RE is open on Good Friday. If not, this could be all messed up this weekend. UGH!!!! I just wish she would show. A BFP would be good also but we all know me....if I did not have bad luck, I would have no luck. Lori, do you know what meds you are using yet if AF shows?

Lynn - I don't know yet what meds I will be using for this next cycle. I'll have to wait for AF then call the RE to get that ball rolling. He did mention Gonal F, but he also mentioned another one which I don't remember. Has your back pain subsided? I truely do hope that we go from famine to feast with the BFPs for this thread!! Take Care.

Happy Weekend everyone! My DH and I were brave today and went to Costco on a Saturday afternoon. That place is so crazy. Lynn, I wish I could get the shots in my leg. Although that sounds painful too. I dont know, there is no good place when a needle is hitting the skin! I am more sore, so as the days go on, they are hurting a little more. The headaches are whats killing me. I havent taken anything for them until today. I broke down and took 1 Tylenol and after a few hours had no relief so I just took another. Tracy, I know what you mean about the headaches, but like Lynn said, dont rule it out..If you get Clomid headaches, they are nothing like that. I think I would do these shots a million times over taking Clomid again. That drug is wicked. Tracy, sorry about AF of course. I know how you feel though, about just being ready to move on. Seeing a new Dr on cd 5 still might be in time for whatever your new protocol is. Technically I didnt start these shots until cd 5 according to my RE since she counts spotting as a day. I hope you will be able to start something this month. Lynn, going 3 days before getting monitored sounds more like it. I am a little freaked out that I am going 6 days..I am having ewcm already today which just started so I dont know. It seems I usually have it for at least a few days before I actually O, so now I am thinking I will be ready to go on Tuesday. I am taking DH with my to my appointment just in case-what if I o on my own on Tuesday morning and dont need the trigger shot and we can do the IUI right then and there? I think I am wondering too much. Lori, I'll be doing the shots until Monday night, then see what the RE says on Tuesday morning. Your baby powder story really made me laugh. Is your dh using it for something maybe ? Hey, you sense of smell gets heightened when you are pregnant, so you never know!! Although feeling bloated can be a pre AF sign it can also be a pregnancy sign. Oh I hope, I hope I hope!! Come Lori and Lynn! Please!!

Ok, so now I am freaked out that 6 days worth of shots and going unmonitored is really too many. I made a post about how long other girls go (thanks Lynn for answering again!) and the other two that responded both said they dont go that long and neither does Lynn. I just dont want to go through all of this for nothing this month if I miss my O. I know its supposed to be timed by the RE with the trigger, but what if by the time they scan me on Tuesday its too late and I already ovulated. That will really be depressing and I will be pissed at my RE. I think at this point I am more concerned about that then getting over stimmed. I wish I knew how long it took others who are taking the same medication as I am to O just to get an idea. I doubt they can get me in on Monday, and then I will feel stupid if I am not even ready to O yet. It seems to early in my cycle, I dont think I ever O'd on cd 9 in my life which is what I will be on Tuesday morning when I see the RE, but then again I have never been on this medication. UGHHHHHHHHH. I need to relax, at least for now there is nothing I can do. If I didnt O on my own, I guess I wouldnt be that concerned, but usually I do. Thanks for listening/reading. Posting made me more anxious so I gotta take a break.
