Oh I hope so. Days seem to drag by so sloooowly here! :) I'm also hoping that maybe I can go on a site visit or two, or maybe even a meeting with a prospect too. Field trips! I'm also hoping it leads to more opps for more $. (Of course!) That's still being worked out though. 4 mos. of O-ing really isn't that long, though I know it doesn't feel that way. But that said, I definitely think running more tests is in order & warrented for that extra boost in fertility & for your peace of mind. I just don't want you to give up hope. I truly feel it'll happen for you & soon. But at the same time, what you're feeling is normal. It's so de-motivating looking at BFNs month after month, esp. when you had more hope this last cycle. I really think we're going to end up PG buddies real soon. We can compare symptoms, aches & pains, etc. No one I know around here will give me any sympathy since all they've heard from me all these MANY months is how badly I want to be experiencing morning sickness & knowing I was carrying a healthy, growing baby inside. My DH, especially. :)

i hope that you are right! well it gas been confirmed that dh will be traveling next week but will hopefully be home a day before i O. and the good thing is that we will have been apart for 4 days so it will have had plenty of time to build up :) and i also have the preseed to try too. well i have good news looks like our disney trip is still on. we had cancelled it b/c of the jeep and my sister had a wreck and totaled her car. but looks like me scott and hunt are going to be going by ourselves. now i just have to try and save $$ before then, we are going to be going 8/3- 8/7. my company has a guest suite down there and we can stay for $20 a night. it is a fully furnished 2 bd 2 bth apt 12 miles from disney. hunter is going to love it b/c its called hunters creek!! how perfect. now if only i can have a baby by then :) i hope that you are right about us getting those BFP real soon. i am tired of seeing those BFNs every month. at least i will have a waiting buddy during the 2ww this time!

That's great that the Disney trip is back on. Wow, $20 a night--what a wonderful deal that is on accomodations. Sounds wonderful. Hunter's Creek, how funny is that?! Your poor sister, I hope she wasn't hurt in the car accident. Totaled car--yikes. When will you have your jeep back in operational order? You're right, this 2 WW will be quite a bit easier now with a waiting buddy. :) That's good that your DH's travel schedule shouldn't interfere with your Oing too much. And you're so right, the build up of spermies can be a very good thing. My parents had fertility issues too & tried 10 years to have me. Anyway, mom swears to this day that I was conceived when Dad had come back from a business trip. She thinks that build up while he was gone really helped them create me. And PreSeed's been proven to be effective too. :) Get geared up for some major BD next week. Rest up now! :)

thank goodness i will have time to rest while he is gone :) i just hope that i dont O early this time. that would suck!! i am also anxious to try the preseed too. i have heard alot of good things about it. my jeep should be all better in a couple of weeks. they oreder the motor yesterday and they are going to start stripping it down next week. basically i will have a new old car..lol oh and thanks for asking my sister is ok. she only got bumped adn bruised. it was a really bad wreck that totaled her explorer. she rolled it a couple of times and had my nephews and the neighbors little girl with her but they were all ok. but she has a new car and is back on the roads now thank goodness. the Lord was definetely with her that day!

Wow, that's wonderful that all the little kids with your sister were fine. What a scary scary experience that must've been for all involved. Since it's going to take a while to get your new old car :) fixed, what are you doing in the meantime? Are you still borrowing one of your parents or are you renting one in the interim? You seem to be consistently Oing on the same CD each month, so I'm sure you'll O that day this cycle as well. :) But just in case, be sure to send off your DH in style the night before he leaves (so to speak!). So you cover all the bases that way.

What?

Well, I'm out of here! Have a great night, CW. I'll try to check in at least once tomorrow.

goodmorning! hope you have a great day on your new floor!!! check in when you can!

Hi. Thanks! I'm still down here at my old desk, waiting for someone to come by & move my computer. I was able to get everything I want to take with me into one med. sized box, a little heavy, but not bad. I guess they have cubes instead of open quads though so I might be able to get on here more up there than I thought. I just don't really want everyone up there knowing that I'm TTC. But I'll check in later. You working today? Did you have a good night? DH was so cute last night. I told him I was hoping that we could do the IUI on Sat., so he started counting & then he turned to me & said we had to BD that night. He knows I like to have him building up fresh swimmers for the IUI. I have him trained. Not that I usually have to twist his arm when it comes to sex. LOL! But that was cute I thought, him getting involved, though it wasn't a difficult chore for him. Ha!

Okay, I'm at my new desk now on the 4th floor. I like it, it's nice, more privacy too. But a lot quieter than my dept.! The Account Exec., Jim, who I'll be working closely with is out today & tomorrow I guess at a site visit so I'm mainly on my own today I guess. That's okay, gives me time to read up more on product literature. Yawn! :) How's your day going so far?

Good morning! I'm back from my dr's appt. I'm ready to trigger tonite! And we're doing the IUI on Sat., Derr's parents' are disappointed that we won't be coming up to Dayton tomorrow night after all, but they want grandkiddies so they're happy about the IUI though. Just one follie matured enough for ovulation, but it's a big guy 18 + mm, & they often like them to be 16 to 17mm to trigger. I have a couple more, but the next biggest is 12 mm so it's doubtful he'll get big enough by Sat. for Ovulation. But all it takes is 1 & this is by far the quickest I've ever responded to Clomid. Plus, I've heard you have a better chance of PG if you O earlier in the cycle (around CD 14, 15 etc.) rather than later (CD19 & beyond). So here's hoping....How was your night? Anything new with you? Started the OPKs yet?

congratulations on your follie! have you ever had one that big? that is greaat news!! i know you are excited. nothing new with me really. i havent started the opks yet. i think i will start on monday and do one every day. i am nervous that i am going to O earlier and scott will be out of town. cross your fingers for me that it doesnt happen that way! how was your day on your new floor?

I'm sure you won't O too early this cycle, but I'll keep my fingers' crossed too. Are you still planning on trying for a girl for your DH? If so, according to the Shettles Method (which is far from being foolproof) you have a better chance of conceiving a girl further from the day you O, & a better shot at a boy the closer to O you BD. The theory being X sperm move slower but live longer (like women do anyway LOL!) & the Y sperm move faster, but die earlier. So if you BD before Scott leaves town then since the spermies can live inside you for several days you're covered no matter what. You can test the Shettles Method for yourself. Ha. Thanks. Yes, I'm very excited. I don't remember ever triggering a bigger follie, I think it helped though that I started Clomid with such a big guy to begin with & for that I credit the Ovarian Drilling. I'm settling into my new cube--it's nice, more private.

i am going tobe so anxious for your 2ww. i am still nervous for my own b/c i am scared i will O early. but i guess i will just have to wait and see. i dont think that you have ever triggered a boig follie like that either. i am SO excited for you. you deserve it girl!! maybe that surgery was just what you needed. was your RE happy? scott still wants a girl but i would be happy either way. i just want to get it started...lol i am glad that you are settling in your cube. i cant wait to hear how well it goes for your IUI!!!

So, what is Scott's travel schedule like next week? How long will he be gone? What CD will you be on when he leaves? You O typically on CD 14, correct? Yes, I think my RE was pretty happy with the size of the follie. I think you're right, the surgery might very well have been the best possible thing for me to do. And if it works this time, believe me, I'll be begging, crying for it again for kiddie #2. But I guess I'd best concentrate on this kiddie first, huh?! Yes, I think I'll be anxious too this 2 WW, esp. since this is my first one for a couple of months. I almost blocked it out of my memory--LOL! But at least we'll be pretty close together schedule wise, that'll help I think. At this point I just want a healthy, happy baby that's all, but there's a part of me that really wants a boy. I've always felt though that my 1st born would be a boy anyway. They say IUIs tend to produce more boys anyway, so I'll see. The only person I know (outside the boards that is) that had a IUI, did have a son out of it. She's PG again, this one was conceived naturally. I think someone said she's having a girl, but I'm not sure. I was evesdropping & couldn't hear more than a bit & a piece of that convo. In the end though we all have a 50/50 shot!

well last month i Oed on day 17 so i am hoping that is the case for this time to. scott leaves on monday and that will be cd12 and comes back on cd 15 so i am really hoping that we can at least get a couple of good days in. i will make sure that we do before he leaves and as soon as he gets back. he will be lucky of i let him get in the door....lol
