hey mega and holly i think that this is the only way to get the post to bump up. i think that i like the old way better :) hope ya'll had a great weekend

 

Mega - December 12

Good idea. That one was getting a little long. I just posted a reply to the old one before I found this one though. :) Does your name in red mean you've registered? I guess I'll break down & do the same. It's free, right?!

 

cw - December 12

yes it is free so i went ahead and registered. i wonder why they dont move up though?

 

cw - December 12

well i am sorry that she showed. i really thought that it would be your month. just remember that you are only beginning on what they can do. so it will happen its is just a matter of when, an di am sure that it will be soon!! hunter had such a good time but can you believe i didnt take any pics? it was to hard to see him b/c they were in the back of a truck all on top of each other. when are you going to talk to the doctor?

 

Mega - December 12

Oh, then that would be hard to take his pic then, being on the back of the truck. Thanks. You're reply made me feel better. You are right, I am just begining. It feels like I've been trying forever & 5 days though instead of just 16 mos...I think I'll call the office right now, while I'm thinking of it.

well good luck! just keep thinking about holdng your baby next year and you will smile. oh and i forgot to answer your question about my anniversary. it was nice, we had pizza and he bought me a diamond wrap for my original ring. its so pretty!! he did good. well i am off for the remainder of the day. i hope that you have agreat one and i will talk to you tomorrow!!

 

Mega - December 12

Enjoy the rest of your day! Ohhh, the diamond wrap for your ring sounds goregous. Sounds like you had a fun anniversary. Yes, that is always a nice image--holding my baby. Well, on the bright side, we'll be on similar schedules again for this cycle too. Baby dust to both of us for that BFP to begin 2006 right!

 

cw - December 13

goodmorning mega!! you are right about us being on the same schedule. i finished my femara today!! i wonder when i am supposed to O since they switched days! its so wierd i am not sure if t is the holidays or what but i am not as "obsessed" as i normally am right now. it is making the time fly by!! :) so did you get to talk to your doctor yesterday?

 

Mega - December 13

Good morning! Great news. Glad you're finished with the Femara. I'd imagine since you took it later than normal, you're supposed to O later too. At least that's how Clomid is supposed to be. Are you charting or using OPKs this cycle? I just spoke to a nurse yesterday to make the appt. for tomorrow AM. She wasn't my usual nurse though so I didn't ask any questions. I did speak to a lady at my work who I knew had fertility issues conceiving her first kid. She's now 8 weeks pg with her 2nd kid, this one conceived naturally. I guess she used to go to my dr til he made her mad. Anyway, I asked her about injectibles b/c that's how she conceived her son, but she said the dr's protocol is to only use injectibles for 3 cycles then it's time for IVF. That scared me b/c if I go one cycle of Clomid & injectibles that might be counted as 1 injectible cycle & I haven't saved nearly enough $ for IVF yet. I don't know, maybe I'll just do another Clomid/IUI cycle. Maybe he can move me up to 150 mg. then. I just need to jot down questions & have them out with me for my appt. so I actually ask them this time. :) I know what you mean about the Holidays being a great distraction from obsessing too much about this whole TTC process.

 

cw - December 13

i think that increasing the clomid is a good option. it may help your follies get bigger and even produce more of them. i would want to try that for a couple of cycles and then maybe switch to injectibles. make sure that you have your list of questions to take with you tomorrow. i have my day 21 test on 12/26 i am not really that confident that it will work this time either. if it doesnt at least i know that they will increase it next month and that makes me feel better. i really thnk that this will be our year!!!!! i am so excited thinking about that!

 

Mega - December 13

2006--It's gotta be our year for those precious babies! And all this will be worth the wait. I think you're right, I will ask/beg Dr Williams to up my dose of Clomid. He may not since I have a couple refills left of 100 mgs of Clomid, but it's worth a try. And using up my allotment of injectilbles so quickly scares me. Well, I'm glad you won't be too crushed if you don't ov this cycle, but there's still a chance for you this month don't discount that. You did have AF all on your own for the first time in ages. Hopefully the Synthyroid is doing its magic on you! I'm hoping I'll be ready for the IUI on the 27th of Dec, the 23rd would be best though.

 

cw - December 13

12/27 is my first babys birthday!!! he would have been 9!! icant even imagine that! well i am not completely giving up hope on Oing this month but i am not as confident as last month. if i dont
O i at least hope to have AF on my own again. i know that it is horrible (and i didnt do it) but i thought about doubling it myself. so at least i wont have to do it, they are going to!!!

 

Mega - December 13

Dec. 27th must be a rough day for you. It's okay to consider doubling the Femara yourself, what matters is that you didn't do it. I'm sure it was pretty tempting. I guess I could do
that with the Clomid myself. :) I won't either though. Even having AF again on your own is a very good sign for you!

 

cw - December 13

its actaully not a bad day. it was all foe the best. he had alot of problems and would have had a hard time. not that i wouldnt have loved him but the Lord knows what he s doing. and having a heathly baby now i appreciate that it was just his will for him. we always take balloons to his grave and let them go. anyways....oh let me tell you it took all my will power not to double it

 

Mega - December 13

Letting balloons go at his gravesite--what a neat tribute to him. I'm glad it's not a difficult day for you. You're right, God does know what he's doing, but it's sometimes hard to remember that. For me, at least.

 

Mega - December 13

I need to stop using the net for research--I drive myself nutso. I'm thinking of asking my dr if he'll do a laporoscopy on me in Jan. if I don't get PG this next cycle. Am I nuts or what? I keep reading endometriosis (sp?) can be misdiagnosed as IBS, which I was dx with several years ago. I've mentioned that link to him before but he didn't think I had endo based on the fact I don't have painful periods, but I do get backaches my 1st day of my period & now I'm reading that could be a symptom of endo even though my backaches aren't really that horribly painful. I just keep thinking I'd like to get the lap out of the way so I don't waste any more IUIs if I have a worse problem than he suspects. But you know drs' egos, he doesn't think I have endo but I really want that ruled out too. Any tips or ideas?

 

cw - December 14

well if you think that migt be a problem for you i would ddefin. talk to him about it. you have to remember that this is your happiness and sometimes i think that doctors dont realize how time drags when that is your main goal. at least mine are never in a big hurry to change anything and sometimes that is flustating. so yes you should add that to your list of questions. my list for january keeps getting bigger and bigger!! lol
