i was just thinking that was the highest count your dh has had isnt it?

 

Mega - March 20

That will be wonderful when you become a PreSeed success story! :) You're right, that's definitely the highest post washing count my DH has ever had, by far actually. I think the next highest was like 37 mil, which is still pretty good according to my dr.

i think those vitamins are really starting to work!! they said that it takes 90 days to build up and hasnt it been about that? i really need to get my dh back on them. he has kinda fallen back on them!! dont you love it when it all comes together and you really feel like you have a shot? does youe Re ever so back to back iuis?

 

Mega - March 20

I've heard it takes 90 days or so to take affect, but I think my DH has only been on them for like 1.5-2 mos. or so., but yes, I absolutely credit the vitamins. So definitely get your DH back on that regimine. I find the daily pill box organizer that my DH uses works really well. I just have to remember to fill it on Sundays & he almost always remembers to take them after dinner. No, my RE has never brought up back to back IUIs but I have heard they increase the odds of PG even more though. You're right, it is a wonderful feeling when things come to together. Did I tell you they're forecasting a snow storm tomorrow? That's some way to usher in Spring, huh?!

 

CW - March 20

that is crazy weather. i am ready for spring myself. i am kinda mad at dh for not taking them like he used to. he was really good for a while. hows your new location at the office going?

 

Mega - March 20

I guess it's all just habit for the guys. Maybe taking them at dinnertime will be easier for Scott to remember? I hear ya, I'm so ready for Spring myself. I hate Winter, so for the millionth time I'm wondering why I live in OH. Ha. Is it warming up for you guys, or is NC having crazy weather now too? It's okay up here. I like it better when Jim isn't on the road though, then there's usually meetings or demos to go to. This week will pretty quiet I think. And I'm afraid I might be coming down with something--not good. So that's making this day go by even slower. I think I'll just go home right at 5 today, I have to stop by the grocery store anyway, fight the crowds of people stocking up for the storm we're probably not going to get anyway. Hopefully not! How's your Jeep? Still in the shop?

 

cw - March 20

jeep is still in the shop. hopefully we will have it back next week. i am thinking probably around wednesday! at least i hope so. you think you are coming down with something? you better go home and relax and drink plenty of fluids! dont forget your pineapples too. anything to help!! i just took another OPK and it is still negative so if it can only stay that way for another 3 days i will be happy!! he left this morning and should be back either thiyrsday night or friday morning. i am really hopuing thursday night. i looked up a ovulation chart (the one that i used last month) adn it said that i should be extremely fertile on friday!! hopefully that will be perfect timing timing to BD when he gets home thursday night. hopefully the combo of him being gone and "building up" and the preseed will help. i think that we are going to try those 3 days in row and then switch to every other day for the next couple of days!! all in all though i think that i am more excited for you this cycle!!! lol

 

Mega - March 20

Your cycle sounds promising, too. Esp. like you said if your O holds off til the end of the week, & your DH's had time to build up his swimmers a little bit! You're right about resting up & drinking lots of fluids. Thanks. I'm guessing wine doesn't count? Just joking, wine doesn't even sound good right now. I just feel run down & a little achey that's all, and the achiness might just be b/c I have a stiff neck. I can usually end up fighting off most colds before I really come down with something. Well that'll be nice if you get your jeep back by next Wednesday. That's a little earlier than first planned, right? Are you still borrowing your parents' other SUV? I'll stock up on the pineapple tonight! I think I'll make one of Derr's fave. meals, Ham Hawaiian, it has pineapple in it & I think I'll add peppers this time as well. Well, I think I'm going to take off soon. Have a great night!

 

cw - March 21

how was your night? i went out to dinner with my parents. it was nice. did you make your special dinner for your dh? i am alittle worried b/c i am having O cramps today. i am going to be sO mad if i miss it this month!! i just need 2 more days! come on body work with me here!! lol.... so how are you feeling? anything we need to analyze yet? :)

 

Mega - March 21

Maybe the cramps are just those follies hard at work growing juicy eggies? Here's hoping! Yes, we had ham hawaiian, with lots of pineapple. I added peppers to it last night though to jazz it up (& add a veggie) which DH wasn't too sure about when I 1st suggested it. But he ended up liking it. Your night sounds fun. That's nice that you got to spend time with your parents' your hubby's first night out of town. Is he going to do a lot more traveling now with the new job? Where did you guys end up going? Well, we did get some snow. No major accumulation or anything yet (but we're still looking at probably 3 to 5" overall by end of today) but the roads were pretty slick though. I guess we had some sleety rain early this AM or something. I found myself slipping & sliding quite a bit on the way to work buthaving lived in Minneapolis, MN, I know how to drive in this stuff. No, unfortunately, I'm not having any symptoms yet for us to analyze. :) I'll let ya know when there are. LOL! It's sad though b/c I smelled bacon this AM (there's a cafe in the bldg. that does breakfast & lunch) and it smelled sooo good I started craving a BLT, which I like never eat. But as it's only 3 DPO I had to remind myself that wouldn't be a PG craving. Ek. I'm thinking this is going to be a LONG 2 WW. I hope your cramping stops soon & doesn't come back til your DH's home!

your dinner sounds yummy! went went to Rockola and had ribs! they were So good. I had alot left over so that will be dinner tonight. they cramos have gone away for now. i hope that you are right an dit is justthem growing but i dont know! i am going to test again today just to make sure. i am really going to be bummed. who knows maybe those are very early pg symptoms :) this is really going to be a long 2 weeks!! LOL at least it will help distract me for one of my weeks!

 

Mega - March 21

Ribs, yummy! Lucky you, living in the heart of BBQ country. Okay all this food talk has my tummy rumbling. Yes, definitely keep testing. But I believe (though you should double check) OPKs are really more of an early warning sign, so a + OPK means you'll O in about 2 days. But I'm still keeping my fingers' crossed that the cramps were just a growing spurt, that's all. Are you checking CM too? What about Cervical position? I could never get into that one.

 

cw - March 21

well i am at home and just retested and it is still negative. Yeah!!!! BUT i have some EWCM. so i guess maybe sometime soon? i guess that the evening primrose oil is helping this time b/c i never get the EWCM. that is a good feeling! now maybe i will just stand on my head so ne eggies come out yet! LOL i just finished my leftovers from last night and it was SO good. i think that we are going to eat mexican tonight. that is the one good part of scott being gone!! i get spoiled by my parents and i dont have to cook at all :)

 

Mega - March 21

Nice! Enjoy your Mexican food tonight. Sounds yummy. And that's good news about the OPK staying neg. for you. Hopefully that trend will continue. Wow, EWCM, that does sound like the Evening Primrose Oil is working for you. That's great. Keep on keeping on. Have a good night!!!

 

cw - March 21

isnt it funny how we get excited about the strangest things now? a year ago i would have never thought about checking my CM and now it is almost routine! LOL you are right though i cant seem to get into checking the position??? i dont really know if i could tell the difference. i am going to keep the evening primrose going and hopefully between that and the preseed something will help. oh and iwas going to ask you if you had looked at the two week wait website? it is really cool and i love comparing symptoms to the success stories. although it can also make you even more crazy during the 2ww!!

 

Mega - March 21

You're right, that is pretty funny how weird things can make our day right about now. I hear ya about the CM thing too. I check it constantly now too whereas about 2 yrs ago I would've found the thought revolting. But what can we do?! No, I've never check out the 2 WW website, though I've heard it's pretty cool. I'll check it out now. Watch, I'll become "addicted" to that site now too. :) I enjoy lurking on some of the PG threads on this board too, read their stories, telling myself that'll be me soon.
