How long are your cycles usually?

NICOLEM_ I live right by the Carpenter's Home Church, probably a couple of miles away. Too funny!

That is funny... small world! I was thinking it would be nice if everybody could do a quick run-down of their ttc situation b/c there are some of you I don't know the story on... Anyway, something like my name is Nicole, we've been ttc #1 for 25 months, we have unexplained infertility so far. We had the hsg, a trans-vag. u/s and dh's SA - all pretty normal except for my tiny fibroids. Anyone else??

NICOLEM_ Good idea, with soo many of us, it's hard to keep track! My name's Nicole, we've been ttc #2 for about 18 months, but my last depo shot was 22 months ago. Started having testing done about 3-4 months ago, when discovered had ovarian cysts. I was put on bc to reduce cyst size, but it made me sick, so I stopped that first month. My progesterone was in the higher range at cd21 two cycles ago (around 25), which was good. I started prometrium (progesterone) three cycles ago to help regulate af, as she was coming every 10-14 days. My prolactin levels were intially higher three months ago- (around 26), but then two months ago dropped (around 21). Haven't had any testing done since then. My gyn stated everything else on looks fine.... so, now just playing the waiting game!

Hi girls! I've missed alot from last night! Dh and I went out to dinner and had a fun time. We had a chance to talk about the stress of ttc and his strass at work. He runs his own business. We needed it! NicoleM, my dh complains he doesn't get enough and then the week of o he complains. NB, I got to see your new pics, they're wonderful. Your family is so cute! I'm glad you and dh made up.Denise, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. When will you test?Jamie74, thanks for looking at my pics. Where is Katt??

Dag, I finally made it - well not really, lol I gotta go back to the other thread and read read read! BRB

ooo b4 i go reading - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KATHY!!!

Hi ladies...woohoo!! A chapter 2!! I was reading on the other chapter about dh's being asses....can I add mine to the list? They can be so insensitive sometimes... A few months ago we actually went to go see a counselor b/c things were getting pretty rough between us and he was pushing me away and I started to stray towards someone else. So we talked w/ a couns. and things have been going good since then...He has been married once before and they got divorced because of the way he controlled her and talked to her, so he is learning now. Anyway..enough about dh's. I had some pain today, almost like O pains, but I O'd already....so I don't know what it was...We will bd tonight just in case :) Lucky me, I should get my AF the week of our anniversary now...YUCK!! Of course the one week I took vacation from work, I will get AF, story of my life...Isn't that what always happens? Well, maybe I won't get AF,,I can wish right?

Feeling kind of down all of a sudden. I was watching the baby story on TLC and had this sudden feeling that it wont happen for me. I mean, I was pregnant 3 times in all. One termination, one baby and one miscarriage. Then I did some weight loss research and found out that I am actually second category obese. I mean, I look at myself and I dont see myself huge, but then I look at pics and get sick to my stomache. What have I become? I thought I was through feeling sorry for myself, but I guess not. I am fully aware that I am responsible for myself, and no one except for me is at fault. Anyhow, will probably check back when I am less depressing.

2cents from July 9 & 10: ROBYN_ maybe u got mini surges last week and u r Oing late? ERIN_ We were all worried about u! Sorry about AF coming ERIN & NICOLEb - she is quite the PITA isn't she! Lol TANYA_ I purchased mine for 65000. Granted it's only like 1600sqft; 4br, 11/2ba, LR, DR, kit, all HW and a good size yard oh and a basement (I hate basements!). It just appraised at 79900. But the wages here are LOW!! BROOKE_ I so wanna be a SAHM!!! GL SKEETER!! KELLEY_! SO glad to see you. It must be soo kool to feel the baby moving! I long for that day. Glad all is well;) PAMELA_ Glad you decided to pop in! Sorry to hear about Oing issue this month - you still had run right?! BRB for todays info...

mommy2josh, your post made me so sad...don't be so hard on yourself. We live in a society that places way too much emphasis on outer beauty. I have no idea what you look like, but from your warm, sensitive and funny posts to this thread, I know that you have great inner beauty. Chin up, things will get better!! As for me, my Beta on Friday can't come soon enough. Unfortunately, I have ZERO symptoms, so I don't think the IUI worked. And as well, I think the projesterone supplements are making me crazy. I read a lot of ladies complaining about their husbands being jerks, but in my marriage, I am TOTALLY the jerk. The hormones have really changed my personality for the worse. I have appologized to my husband a million times, but I don't think it makes up for the fact that I have been grumpy, nervous and unreasonable for almost a week straight. EEK!

TAMMY_ I find it best to go with your instincts on O. Oh and yeah it sucks when af is expected on an event day - I am supposed to start the day of OZZFEST - outside in humid heat and everywhere people bumping and drinking...loads of fun! Oh and not to mention the bathrooms are always hotter than outside so AF will be the super B that day! JAMIE74_ I have no idea how much a Lap is as that is surgery and everything is covered by my insurance. Yours is next month huh? Hmm...maybe your ins will cover - It should as long as the doc doesn't use infertility as your diagnosis. NICOLEb_ My dh is quite the tornado too, lol! Oh and ya gotta love those dh's they sit around and ponder what will get em off the hook and apologise and forget everything the next day or whatever - ugh! DENISE_ Wishing you BFP!!! TANYA_ Don't go getting down on yourself girl...I am right there with ya, we got to think possitive y'know! I don't like going places anymore because I am so uncomfortable in anything other than sweat shorts and t-shirts! Dh hates it. He likes all those stylish clothes and points to girls and says why dont u wear stuff like that, well did it ever occur to you I'd look like a FA! Course, I don't say that cause there's no reason to open a door in that direction. Chin up girl! brb need a beverage!

Hey girls found you guys. I cannot believe how much this post is all ready filling up. I am trying to catch up already. My son got home today I am so happy to see him. My x-husband is such an asshole he keeps asking my son about me and my new DH the same shit everytime he sees him. Its really pissing me off. When my son gets older hes gonna see what his dad is about. He wants my son to make sure he knows who is dad is and that my DH is not his father. My son is so tired of hearing this is upsets him. My Dh is more of a father his real dad/ My x-husband is very jealous. He wrote me a check for school uniforms I told him put my new name on the check he writes My old married name and my new married name. Grow Up!!! Anyway had to vent. Hey girls I am a partial redneck chick too. Sorry to hear that some of your DH's are such butt-heads sometimes. My DH wanted to post on here to give a mans insight of this and they he personally feels about the TTC issue. I will have him post in the next few days. Anyway talk to you guys later.

Katt, I am fine. I am just getting to the point where I just get pissed off everytime AF comes. I mean it's really nothing to get mad about but I find myself either so pissed that I take everything out on everyone or I cry so hard and boo hoo so bad that I feel mental. Does that make sense? I'd be okay about it if I knew there was something wrong with me but the fact that all my tests I have done so far have come back excellent or normal. It's easier for me to deal with things when I know there's a problem than dealing with nothing being wrong.

<mommy2josh> I just read your post. Its so sad that society wants us all to look like anorexic twigs. You seem like a wonderful caring and loving person. I think we all feel horrible about the way we look sometimes. I have got to the point where I know I could lose a good 30lbs when I am ready to go into the gym again I will but at my decision. Dont be down on yourself.

First off I wanna thank y'all for wishing me well. Second, I wanna apologise to anyone I missed in my previous posts as I did read everything! Third, this may be long as I have a story to tell...Yesterday was the day from HELL for me! I got outta the house at 445am and went to my NH which had like 37 pts to stick! UGH, so I went about my business with my "I'm on a mission" attitude - then I missed a vein! The am went rolling down the hill Fast! I have a psc (pt service center) I watch from 8am to noon and It was 745 - I have 8 draws left, do I stay and finish or leave to get psc on time? I left and got into a world of crap with sprvsr, nh & owner of company. They said I had to back and get the draws "today" Ok so I had PT (phys therapy) at 130, I bumped it to 1 and to beat it all my parents (from Ohio) and cousin from England were on their way in to see NIkki (my neice, her b-day) they would be at my house at 3! SO, then boss calls and says I have 2 more stops, one is a stat...ok so I leave psc and go to one and then theother barely making it to PT by 1pm. Got outta there at 2 and booked it home to let dog out (poor thing!) and leave note for parents that door is open - excuse the mess- cruised over to NH (now 230) and 5 of the 8 pt's were playing BINGO in the DR...so with no help at all I had to wheel em one by one in and out of the beauty shop as I was not wheeling em all the way back to their rooms! I sure hope no one missed a BINGO! Anyhoo, 1 1/2 hrs later I get home, change and we leave to go to brother's for nieces b-day party! My cousin was afraid of the hollars as she hates heights and after eating nothing but a south beach breakfast bar I was starving...ahh but the pizza is cold - I almost helped myself, haha...anyhoo we didn't leave there until like 830, got home and had to take cousin to motel (she wanted alone time) and went to get sugar! I think I got to bed at midnight! It was horrible and then I woke up late - at 6!!! As if things cant get any worse I had the fear of that same nh calling and ratting me out! SO anyway, I stuck another 8 pts there in 45 mins! Dunno why I couldn't get em yesterday am! SO needless to say the only dieting I accomplished yesterday was to weigh in at 180! YIKES! When I got home today I realized I had forgotten to activate me website and now I have to redo it! GGGRRRAH!! So there is my crap from yesterday, LOL. UGH I need a shower, best go get that taken care of as there was no time to dilly dally this morning! DH is working lots of OT these days, not getting home until 730/8, starting at 7! He's such a peach and my dog is acting funny, hiding in BR...dunno what her problem is. Lack of attention I'd reckon. Um I think I rambled...well BROOKE I think you said you needed a Katt post, well there it is, haha! Babydust and bellyrubs! WIshing big Os and BFPs!
