well meeting is over and i am at home!! it was ok nothiong as fun as they usually are though. so far ho AF which is fine but i would like her to show up anytime now :) i dont really want my schedule to get that screwed up. i have worked so hard to keep it right..lol cutting down to parttime sounds like it could be nice. that is what i am technically ( i work 32 hours a week) but fortunally my company considers anything over 30 hours full time so i am eligable for the benefits. did you call your Re yet? are you still going for the u/s tomorrow?

I decided to count today as CD 1 so I'm going to keep my RE appt. afterall. It was heavy enough to use a tampon so I guess AF is here after all. It's all so whacky. A few days off once in awhile isn't any cause for alarm, though I'm sure it is hard not to worry though. Hardly anyone is exactly 28 days (or whatever) EVERY single cycle. Are you still taking the synthyroid every day then? 32 hrs a week doesn't sound bad. With my company you have to work at least 25 or maybe it's 26 hrs a week for ins., but if I do end up part time I'd like at least 30, that would still shave 7 hours at least off my work week. All I have now though is speculation, I wish my boss would meet with me & tell me what's going on. I'm getting kind of worried that other people in my product line are being told but not me. Well I'm glad your mtg went well. Hopefully AF will make her appearance tonight. Lay out the welcome mat for her. LOL.

i am sure that your boss will fill you in soon! i am sure that when companys have big changes they can take awhile to fill everyone in. i have the mat out for her so she can come anytime. it would still only be 31 days now so that would eb good timing for me. i think i am beginning to have cramps so hopefully that is her. thankfully i still have a couple of the perscriptions left for femara. i wonder how long i can stay on it though?

godmorning! well she saw the mat and stopped by! LOL so i am still on a 30.5 day cycle and i am so happy. i was looking over scotts schedule and it looks like he will be back the day before i O so i am prety happy about that. i thought with his schedule i would be out of luck this month but maybe not! how was your apt this morning?

Great, I'm glad AF saw your welcome mat & is now paying you a visit. :) And that's great that Scott's upcoming travel schedule should fit in with your O schedule. If you guys BD before he leaves too that should cover even more bases. My appt. went well. I start Clomid tomorrow. I have a follie check appt. next Thursday, & the dr thinks now post-OD I should be almost ready by next Thurs., so hopefully my IUI will be the next weekend or early the following week. I have 1 resting follie at 11 mm, so I think he'll definitely go thru a big growth spurt after the Clomid. And hopefully 1 or 2 more will develop as well.

that is great! you are way ahead this time arent you?

I think so. I may have had resting follies before at a baseline u/s, but I don't remember them being that big though. :) I'm feeling pretty confident about this cycle. I haven't felt that for a long time!

well i am so excited for you!! i have all my stuff crossed for you. did you ever start your dh on vitamins? i have to get mine back on them or at least on on some of them. did af unpack all her backs or is she just still barely here?

AF is cramming all her clothes into my guestroom closet now. Ha! She's flowing heavier now--more like typical flow. How about you? Do you tend towards heavy AF's? Are you crampy or anything today? My dr said to just count this as CD2 for me. So I guess I'm what just a day or so ahead of you. This is great that we'll be on such a similar timeframe this cycle. I've got my fingers', toes' etc. crossed for you too this cycle. Still starting Femara on CD 5? I've got to remember to get my Clomid script filled tonite so it'll be by my bedside for tomorrow night. Oh, I ordered a yoga for fertility DVD last week. It came yesterday. I can't wait to give that a try. I think I'll pop it in tonite after work. Hopefully puppy will let me exercise in peace--doubtful. :)

that sounds liek a fun tape. oh yes AF is def- here for me too. she is always really heavy for days 2-4 and then slows down to pratically nothing. i had horrible cramps this morning but i took some advil and i feel fine now. and yes i am going to take the femara on days 5-9 again it seems to work the best for me. i was looking at the calendar and if i get PG this time i can test on my B-day which can be very depressing if it is a BFN. OHHHHH speaking of b-days are you ready for your tomorrow? how are areyou going to be again? do you have any idea what DH got you? hopefully something really nice.

Well I'm glad your cramps have subsided--that's no fun. Fortunately my AF's are usually short, so by Friday I'd say it'll be down to barely a trickle. Yeah, I guess I'm ready for tomorrow. :) Mom & a cousin are coming down to take me out for lunch to a really nice place down the street, so that should be fun. But Derr & I aren't really going to celebrate til Friday. I think he got me earrings, I'm guessing diamond earrings that are bigger than the pair he gave me our 1st X-mas we were dating. I saw the box my gift was wrapped in, & I know it was from our fave. jewelry store, the box was pretty small that's why I'm guessing earrings. Derr does pretty well in the gift department actually. So your b-day is in less than a month, are you already dropping hints to Scott? Does he usually hook you up pretty well in the gift dept? I'll be 31 tomorrow. *Sigh* Oh I forgot to answer your question from an earlier post re: vitamins for my DH. Yes, I've had him on Vitamin E, B12 & a multi for over a month now. He remembers most nights to take his vitamins & his other meds, but we had to buy a day by day pill box for him, like an old man. Works pretty well though. You might want to get one of those for your hubby so he can take his vitamins daily too. :) Are you still on Evening Primrose? You think it's doing pretty well for you?

i will be 31 this year too. we are only a month apart how funny! i have no idea what scott will do. i think i am going to tell him that i want him to plan a night out for us. and i want to go to dinner and then a movie and he has to plan it all. he hasnt ever done anything like that and it would be so nice to be surprised. diamond earrings are always a good present. who doesnt love diamonds? :) well since you wont be reading this till tomorrow HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEREDITH!!

Thank you! Yeah, that is funny how close in age we are. That cracked me up about your plan to have Scott plan your entire b-day celebration--sounds a lot like my DH. He did suggest where we're going to dinner though b/c he knows I really like the place. But guess who called to find out about reservations? Me! I too have been elected social director. Well I still haven't opened my gift from Derr yet, so I don't know if they're diamonds, but I think they are. How was your night? AF starting to pack up her bags yet?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! sorry it has taken me so long to post. AF is not on her way out yet probably by he weekend. my jeep is acting up again and i cant even drive it. i have a feeling tha i am going to have to have it fixed this time and i am scared of what it is going to cost. scott had to bring me to work this morning and it sucks not having a car and having to rely on other people. i am praying that they can fix it quick and cheap. so are youexcited about dinner? i cant wait to hear about your gift :)

Thank you! Sorry about your jeep--what a bummer. Is your dad going to take a look at it again first though? He seemed to have the touch last time. Is it the same problem again then? I hope it's another cheap fix for you. Cars can certainly take a nice chunk out of the budget, huh?! Yes, I'm excited for our dinner tomorrow night. I love Thai food, & we don't get it that much. Other parts of Cincy have a zillion thai restaurants, but our area is severly lacking in anything but chain restaurants.

your dinner sounds like it will be a lot of fun. i think my dad is just discusted with my jeep so it is time to have to offically fixed. it has several probalems so maybe they can get to them all at once. luckily my parents are going out of tiwn until monday so i can use theirs until they get back. i am off tomorrow and it is supposed to be @ 80 all weekend so i am excited. scott is taking hunt to play golf sat while i am at work and then i am off all day sun and mon. not to bad of a schedule this week at all!! lol
