me too! we are really dead though and there is only me and another girl in today and she just ran across the street to the mall to finish her shopping. i made a doctor apt today b/c my throat is still so sore and i am scared that it is strep. lol i am almost going to be disappointed if it isnt.... lol it will be a waste of my copay :) it is even starting to feel better so i am wondering if i should cancel but i think my parents would kill me. dad was pretty upset that i didnt go yesterday. i really dont think that i am pg this month and that is actually ok b/c i am not expecting it. and i know this is bad but if i am (i would be estactic) but it would interfere with hunters football nexy year and that would be bad. i would be due in sept/oct and that is when he is in full swing! is that terrible? dont get me wrong i would be over the moon happy but i am actaully not going to be devestated this month if i am not. :)

Hi. No, I don't think that's bad at all. Hunter is your main priority right now of course, so you don't want having another kid to take anything away from him. That's very selfless in fact. So, even though no one ever really conceives at the ideal time, what would be the best time of the year for you to have baby #2?
I've got to agree with your dad, it would be better to go to the drs & waste your copay & find out it's not strep than to not go & have it be strep. Of course, I'm the last person who should say that. I hate going the drs, well, with the exception of the feritility dr, there I go willingly. :) But I also know firsthand about letting stuff go too long. I've done that too many times. Well, feel better!

well i am going to go b/c i dont want to be disowned on Christmas! lol i dont mind being pg during football i just dont want to be about to deliver during a game lol. so anytime during the next couple of months. that wouldbe great timimg for me and thats when all the cute materiity clothes are in season. lol are you getting ready tohead out and start your vacation?

Yes, I'm about to leave work now. Finish my shopping & start my holiday. Have a wonderful Christmas. Talk to ya next week. Good luck on the blood test Monday.

you too!! have a merry christmas!!!

goodmorning mega! i hope that you had a wonderful christmas!!! i cant believe that it is already over. they go by faster every year! hunter loved everything that he got. i go in today for my day 21 test. i will post when i find the results. i cant wait to hear about your u/s today!

Good Morning, CW. I guess technically it's afternoon. I hope your blood test went well yesterday. I definitely be back this week to check on that update. I really hope it's good news for you! You really are almost there, the vitamins & synthyroid really seem to be working. Well, I did have my u/s yesterday. Only 1 of the 2 follies on the left matured any. Well, I guess they both did a little bit, but 1 was still under 10, the other one was 14.5, which still isn't big enough to trigger. My right ovary had 2 more follies though, but they were both way under 10. So I have another u/s tomorrow AM. My 1 bigger follie HAS to be big enough tomorrow for the trigger, otherwise I probably won't be able to IUI this cycle b/c of the New Year's shut down schedule. So once again, I'm a late responder. No surprise there really. :)
I'm glad you had a good Christmas. So did I. Derrick's parents gave us a DVD camera, but his mom said when we opened it, no pressure about having grandkiddies, we could start by taking pics of their furry grandbaby. She's so cute! And speaking of my furbaby, he's down here in the family room with me as I write to you, wreaking havoc & destruction b/c he can tell I'm distracted. Well, I've got to get going. I just wanted to check in & see how you are. Keep me posted. Also, what was your favorite gift you got this Christmas? Was it a surprise? Good luck on the day 21.

hey mega!! i am sure that your follie will grow alittle more by tomorrow. i really hope you dont have to postpone a month. my nurse just called and said that my level was 13!!!! can you believe it? i know that isnt that high but it is a huge improvement for me!!! she said if i am not pg this month then i need to do the same thing next month days 5-9. i was hoping they would increase it, but i am happy with the #. i hope that you are having fun on your days off. i am actually off tomorrow and thursday. i get to spend some time with hunt. we had such a nice christmas! i got pink nike shox that i have wanted FOREVER..lol and a digital camra. it was really nice. what did you get?

Yes! YAY! Some good news. That's wonderful. I've been getting 13's too on my levels, my dr wasn't displeased at all, he said it needs to be 10 or above for ovulation, so you did it this month, girl! I'm so happy for you. I read that & shouted "Yes!" and scared the dog! He came rushing over. What a cutie he is!
Good old Femara. That's nice that you get tomorrow & Thursday off. I'm sure Hunter can think of a thousand things for you guys to do with all that time off. I had a nice 2 hour lunch with some friends. Our buddy Kathy used to work with us, but she moved to California a few months ago when her son & D-I-L
had a 2nd child, her first grandson. So it was great seeing Kath again. I was a major bum yesterday though. I even took a nap. I'm so not a nap person. :) I got the season 1 box set of Veronica Mars, which I've been watching this season but never got to see last year so now I get to play catch up. Funny show, blond, sarcastic HS girl who can kick butt if need be. Gotta love that! And the DVD cam, a beautiful suade jacket from my mom. Couple other neat little things. I'll talk to ya later! Have a great night. Congrats on the progesterone level. Very encouraging.

Well, I had my next u/s today. It's still too small to trigger, but not by much. So we're doing a little different timing this go round. I'll trigger tomorrow at 7 AM & do the actual IUI Friday at 9 AM. Usually I don't IUI til 36 hours after the trigger, but the dr thought it was okay to try the procedure a little earlier than usual. Convential wisdom is to IUI anywhere from 24 to 36 hours after the trigger, but most places do it 36 hours if there's only 1 IUI like in my case. We'll see. Every cycle is something new, yeah? How was your day off? Did you & Hunter do anything fun? I don't know if you'll get the chance to check in today but thought I'd update just in case. Have a great day!

goodmorning mega! it is 9:!5 so hopefully you are getting your iui right now. i hope that it works this time :) i had a great 2 days off with hunt. i took him and 4 friends to the movies yesterday. i think that he enjoyed it. i am glad that they were able to do a different method this month instead of making you wait another month. i got a little anxious and took a pg test on wed. and of course it was a bfn. i kinda thought that it would be and that is ok, but i was still alittle disappointed. my thyroid doctor called and said that i am still getting alittle to much and they want to change the dosage again but i dont think i am going to do it. i have about 4 more perscriptions for the dosage that i am on now so i think i will stay in that one. i was so excited when the nurse called and said my # was 13. it would be nice if i was alittle higher but thats a HUGE improvement!! i am glad that you are enjoying your vacation. let me know how it went this morning!!

Hi. Yes, as you were writing me this AM, I had just finished my IUI & was lying still on the table as the little swimmers did their job. I'm not sure this is my month though. My dr thinks I'll actually ovulate tonight & I've heard washed sperm only live 6-7 hours. But he said to BD tomorrow AM. We're spending tonite at his parent's house, we can pretend we're in HS. Ha, ha, ha. Any big New year's plans? A party perhaps? We're going to our friends' party at a bar they co-own. And one of my best friends from HS will be in town as well so I imagine we'll get together. I love this time of year. Glad you enjoyed your days off this week. What movie did you guys see?
Wed. might've been too early to test anyway. What CD are you on now? I think even if this isn't your month, I think you've got an excellent shot of getting pregnant in the next couple cycles. Happy New Year!!!

well dont count yourself out for this month until af shows. i really dont think that it is my month either and that is ok. it probably works out better that way. it is just nice knowing i did O this month. fir me that is half of the battle. :) i hoep that you have a great new years and have fun out with your dh. we are just going to friends of our for a couple if hours. i am workin today until @ 5 and scott has to be at work at 7 am tomorrow morning. i hope you enjoyed your week!!

are you back at work today? i hope that everything is good.

Hi! Yes, I'm back at work today. You're right, I won't count myself out this cycle but I'm not as confident now as I have been in the past but I still feel I'll get pg this year, hopefully sooner than later. That is huge that you're ovulating on the Femara, & that's definitely half the battle for both of us. :) Glad you had a nice New Years.

well it is offical. i am not pg this month. af showed up 1 day early. i am alittle disappointed but very happy that she showed on her own again!! hopefully i am getting back on track!!
