goodmorning mega! how was your trip this weekend? i hope that you had a great time!!!

Good morning! Yes, we had a great time, though it went by too quickly! :) We didn't do much Friday night after dinner--just went to our room, enjoyed the jacuzzi tub. :) I was so full I didn't even try the b-day cake ploy. Then Sat. before we left we hit the casino. Made sure to give them plenty of our $. But it was very nice--and only 1 1/2 hours from our house, so a very easy getaway. How was your weekend? Did you have fun at your friends' dinner party? You're off today, too right? Any plans? Or just laying low, relaxing?

yes i am off today and i had a relaxing day planned and hunt woke up with a "tummy ache" ehich mens he wanted to stay home eith mommy. so here we are just chilling at the house :) i am glad that you had a great weekend! that sounds like so much fun. we had a good weekend although we didnt do very much it was relaxing. i am on 7dpo and i feel absolutely nothing!! once in a while my stomache feels kinda weird but it has dont that for the past couple of months so dont think that this is our month :( good thing i have a back up plan for next month with the preseed!

7 DPO is still very early, you may very well still have a fertilized eggie there that just hasn't implanted yet or is in the process but not enough HCG has been produced yet for those fun symptoms! :) It could still go either way. But that's good that you have a back up plan in case you don't get that BFP this month. Glad you had a relaxing weekend. Those are the best kind, I think! :) Have fun with Hunter today. I hope he feels better. That's cute though that he wanted to stay home with mommy. Sons & their mommies, any wonder why most of us want little boys?! There's a woman here at work that is PG with her 2nd baby (she went to the same RE I go to for her 1st, this one though she conceived on her own), she just got back from Hawaii & her belly is HUGE! She popped out seemingly overnight. I look at it & think to myself "I want one of those--a baby belly with a baby in it." :) Every time I see a baby on TV (commercials, movies everything) I turn to Derr & say "I want one of those." By now he knows I'm not talking about the products being advertised. He must be sick of hearing that. Oh well!

i have been trying to get pregnant since beginning of january after getting off of ortho evra in december. i have a little guy that is two and never had a problem conceiving him and now i am desperate. i don't know whether this contraceptive causes infertility or not. i am almost desperate and my husband has been very supportive. it is always a disappointment to see my period. this time i was late for two days and though i finally got it, but wasn't. if anyone knows what to do, please let me know. i also heard about this product that might increase chances of getting pregnant called ovulex

i know what you mean! i do the same thing! and i normally dont like being pregnant! i get HUGE but this time i feel like i have worked so hard i am going to try and enjoy every part of it. little boys are something thats for sure! :) he is running around the house wanting to play football how sick does that sound? lol i said i thought you were sick? and he said my throat just hurts.. i said i thought it was your stomache? he was like oh yeah i forgot...lol he is so funny! i hope that you are right about it being early and maybe it just hasnt started to show any symtoms... but i am trying not to build myself up for a disappointment. if i havent gotten PG by the time i have my apt in april i am going to ask for more testing. by hen i would have been Oing on my own for 6 months. so where are you in your cycle? when are you due for AF?

Hi tjallah! Welcome! You went of Ortho Evra in Dec. of 05? If you just went off of the BC patch a couple of months ago I wouldn't worry quite yet. In a "normal" couple (IE no male or female problems) it can still take 6 mos. to a year, that's good too that you have a son, so you have proven fertility. That's always rough when you're late & you think you're PG & then AF shows. I've been TTC #1 since Aug. 2004 & that's when I went of Ortho Evra myself. I started getting irreg. AF, each cycle was longer & longer. Turned out I had PCOS though, & the BC patch was only masking my symptoms, I really don't think the patch was to blame for my problems at all. I don't know anything about Ovulex. Sorry. But in the meantime, are you charting BBT or using OPKs to track O? That always improves your odds too. Are you also checking CM? I know a lot of PreSeed success stories, it's a sperm friendly lubricant. I'd suggest trying it out esp. if you don't notice a lot of CM around the time you O. You can buy it online. Good luck. And hang in there. It's frustrating, but that's good that your DH is supportive, you need that.

Hey CW. Well, it sounds like Hunter is suddenly better. A mircalous cure. LOL! Kids are so funny! Hmmm--go to school or stay home & play with mommy. What a choice! I hear ya--I'm determined to enjoy every second I can of being PG, maybe between sessions of paying hommage to the porcelin gods. :) We've definitely worked hard getting there. I think that's a good idea, asking for more testing if you're still not PG by April. Have you had a HSG done? That's been shown to improve fertility quite a bit for 3 to 6 mos. I'm going to start Prometrium on Wednesday, so that means I'm still several days out from AF, but I had some brownish spotting this weekend which was kind of weird I thought. I'm only a little more than a week past the lap & during it the dr didn't see any follie activity so it seems a little soon for O spotting. Funky! I guess it's probably more my hormones getting regulated. Let's hope that's it! I guess spotting after the lap isn't uncommon, but usually when it happens it's like right afterwards. Keep staying pos., girl, if you can. You're only a week into the 2 WW, anything can happen at this point!

that is kinda wierd, but it is probably your hormones and body trying to get back to normal. i havent given up all hope that this wasnt our month but it helps when you dont build yourself up for disappointment. we have had enough of that! :) i think i might also try temping. it might be another good way to determiinr the exact O day. i cant wait till your 2ww this month. i am not sure who is going to be more excited you or me :)

well iahev had all i can handle in the house so we are off to mcdonalds and target!! :) he knew he would win :) i will check back in when we get home

Oh, sounds fun, a McDonalds & Target run. Enjoy! :) I think that's a likely explaination, that the spotting is just my body trying to get regulated. I hope that's the good sign I think it might be. I know, it will be soooo much fun to be back in the game again, where the 2 WW could actually mean something, like where you're at now. :) I think temping is a good idea too. Not just to further pinpoint when you O'ed, but it MIGHT give you an idea if you're pg or not. But bear in mind, not all PG charts go triphasic & unfortunately not all triphasic charts are PG indicative. I'm considering doing that too, charting BBT next cycle, but b/c DH gets up at like 3:30 AM for work I end up doing my temp at that time too & I HATE having to do that on Sat. & Sun. too. Blech! Well, get lots of fun stuff at Target!

goodmorning! how was your night? i am baack at work today and wishing i was at home. for some reason i am very moody today and dont want to be here, but oh well :) anything new with you?

Well, you probably had so much yesterday being with Hunter, work pales by comparison. I'm doing well, just status quo. I'm eager to start Prometrium tomorrow & get the party started. We're having a Mardi Gras potluck today at work. My department LOVES to chow down. It smells so good in here though. Well, I hope you feel better. Maybe you'll have fun today at work afterall. Otherwise, how are you doing?

i am ok. i had a really bad headche last night which is unusual for me (normally i only get them during the day if at all) and last night when we went to bed i felt lie something was up there. i am to scared to get excited about it cause it is probably nothing. i dont feel iit today at all and i am alittle bloated so i will probably start next tuesday. that will be 30 days. i am going to test on friday morning. that will be 11 dpo so it should show up by then if it is a positive. i eep trying to remember how i felt the other times and i had sore bbs the first time and i had NO clue i was PG with hunt so i am trying to remember that. this wait is killing me though. :) hope it is worth it. a pot luck sounds yummy. i am starving!

Someone brought in the most delish garlic dip, so I'm snacking on that. Be glad you can't smell me right now. :) Ha! Headaches can be pretty miserable, I'm glad it's subsided now. Even if you don't test + 11 DPO that can still be kind of early, so in the off chance it's a BFN don't get discouraged. PG is a funny thing, it can vary pg to pg too, so I'm hoping you're experiencing good signs now but it's worse when you get your hopes up.

yes it is. i was telling dh that last night when i was trying to describe how i felt and i said i am scared to say anything. he just thinks i am wierd :) what you are starting tomorrow is that the same thing as provera?
