I hope everyone finds the new thread quickly and that we get to make even more new friends here. It's been an amazing, rewarding journey. I love you all!

sorry guys i was suppose to start a new one, i've been so busy i hadn't had time, now i am sick and drained i go to dr. tomorrow, i was going to go and get diet pills now i'll be getting antibiotics. it started snowing a little bit today. how is everyone else doing?

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!! love you all...... Dh has taken the day off to spend with me with no kids, bless him. were going to take the kids to school then go do something....just the 2 of us - that never happens!!!! i'll be back later, have a lovely loving day xxx

hi all..... today is CD 1 yet again.... tests came back negative, but i am glad i did it. i have decided to not use any more of the PG tests i get off ebay.. save my money too, and false hopes. but know i have real time to think about my next step in my life... when i told hubby i got a BFP.. he was not happy.. when i rang him at work today to say it was a false alarm, his response was no protection, no sex... that just clinches it for me...

next time i will wait till i am CD 36+ before i jump the gun. since TR last cycle was 30 and now 32. instead of my trade mark 36. now he wants to use protection, there is no point monitoring for O, i am so pissed off, you can't imagine. but at the end of the day thats the sign i needed to make my final decision about keeping this so called marriage... i am thru... wonder if i can hit the sperm bank... lol... just kidding Rom.

OK. I found everyone. That took a minute for me!! LOL How is everyone this lovely V-day? I'm good. I'm not a really a Valentine's Day person. I always tell DH that he better spoil me year round!! LOL I'm not feeling too positive about this cycle girls. I know many women say before they got their BFP they just knew AF was coming, but I don't feel not one bit PREGGO!!! I could just cry. I mean we BD'd more than enough. What is the matter with me? I'm having a pity party for myself today so Not happy Valentines day to me... it's Happy Pity Party Day! I hope all of you have a good day! ~~Shawn~~

Shawn, I hate to see you going through this. I did some research on tubal lengths. You said their was some descrepancy between the actual length of your tube. This is what one study found. "Tubal length is the most significant factor affecting the likelihood of pregnancy after sterilization reversal. This study found that only 18% of the group with tubal lengths of less than 3 cm conceived, 57% with lengths of 3-4 cm, 82% 4-5 cm, and all of their group with tubal lengths over 5 cm conceived." My tube is somewhere between 3.5-4 cm. I really didn't think it would work. It does but has a hard time, luck really has to be on my side. I can bd during my fertile time everyday for a year and not get pregnant. I have been reading about women who went on to have IVF because their tubes were not working and some had babies their first try at IVF. What that means is Shawn, you could spend the whole rest of this year hoping that tube will work or you could make sure you have a baby this year. I'm not sure what Boo's length of tube was and her other was supposedly gone or blocked not sure which, I wish she would come on so we could ask her but anyway she was getting ready to consider IVF. I hope this doesn't sound like I am trying to discourage you. I want you to have that baby! I felt compelled to tell you to consider IVF, don't know why. I'm sorry if I makes you sad. That is not my intention, I'm really trying to Incourage you. What if the last measurement was right and it is only 2cm? And why the f*** did you get the wrong measurement before? Was it the same doc? My doc. mislead me too. He said it was right at 4 and right at the cut-off for being able to work. Later I find out it was less than 4. You are at a very common age for IVF. A very successful age! Please don't hate me for saying all this. I love you Simms! My heart told me to tell you this, I really didn't want to. ;-((((

Hello Rom! Yes, I've been reading the exact same thing. I guess the bottom line is that I just won't ever have a baby if this tube doesn't work. DH does not want to do IVF. He says it's crazy to go into debt to have a baby. We are debt free. We only have House,car note, motorcyele note and utilities. No credit card or any other bills. DH still thinks it'll happen if it already happened once. He says why spend the money for something that may be "free!" LOL It doesn't upset me that you're telling me this because I already know everything you're telling me. The Dr. that did my TR said my tubes were 2cm. The Dr. that did my ectopic removal went in and reinspected my tube and said it was 3-4. That's why I'm so confused. Also the Dr. that did my TR is a HUGE IVF doctor here in the metroplex so my other Dr. said he wanted me to think I had NOTHING to work with because he wants the money to go to him for IVF. I think I'm just going to trust in God and wait it out a while longer. It is heart wrenching every month though. Thanks for listening!!

OK. and I'm am with you. People tried to incourage me to IVF and for some reason I was against it. I ended up having tr babies. I have had three and this last 14 months with two m/c has been heart wrenching for me. We'll just go through this together. My Dh said to tell you babies are over-rated! LOL, He's kidding.

Awww... Thanks ROM!! I'll be here for you too! Tell your DH I said thanks!!! :)))
I still want one of those little over rated people though!! LOL

girls, i know it's only my 3rd cycle since TR.. early days... but i have never had to do more than just think about being preg and i would be..
so i am asking for all info...
what is pre-seed.
what is provera
what is progesterone cream
please please tell me everything.... what can you get at the chemist over the counter and what needs a presciption...
i am so behind the times in this department...
i read that coffee should not be consumed if ttc. and not a drop of alcohol. no smoking, eat healthy, take a daily walk if nothing else.

Hey guys my dh said to tell you all anybody needing a sample, for a thousand dollars he'll ship it to you. Says he's got the good stuff! ROTFLMAO! To bad I'm not shareful, huh?! I could make some money! LOL! Anyway, Gees Jodi, there is so much info out there. What is your plan with dh saying no protection, no sex? Where is Shal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is Boo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tonya, you feeling better? Miracle what's going on with you? Pam is the baby any better?

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ! my DH had me 4 roses with a frog wrapped around it saying kiss me, and a big balloon that said play me, and when you push it it says hey i love you in a song. all i got him was a box of chocolates. well my day was upsetting, i was still feeling bad so i had a appointment with my dr., so i was telling him about my symptoms went on to tell him i want to loose weight, and he told me that was good, i went to tell him what i eat and how much, well with my job sometimes i eat and sometimes i don't i just don't have the time for it, and he says well i am not giving you diet pills till you prove to me you can change your lifestyle, last year he was telling me i need to loose weight now he's telling me he's not going to help me. he had a med student with him to. then he says what can we give you for your head cold, i'm like your the dr., so i told him i don't know. he gave me clariton, i went to pick it up and you could buy it over the counter, and my insurance didn't cover after he told me it would. i'm like your an idiot. then when i came home my dh had given me my stuff then he said oh yeah his brother and his wife had their baby and it was a boy. i am like when am i going to have a baby. you know you all may think this is mean of me but i don't want to see it or anything like that. that's unusual for me. i am just so depressed about it. when is it going to be my turn GOD. sorry this is long just had to vent.

rom, you silly thing...
this site, i thought, is for exchanging info on having problems TTCing, yet i ask what is pre-seed, what is provera, etc.. and you tell me, basically, to go look it up... i am confused... isnt this the place to exchange advice and information ???
i told hubby, to go get f#@ked !!!! that the marriage is over. but that doesnt mean i still dont have a problem... and i still want to find out things

Jodi, sorry, guess I pissed you off, huh? You know what, I'm not the only one on here who has this info, I'm sure someone can answer your questions. I already told you that I have strong feelings about babies being born into one parent homes, I think it should be avoided at all costs. It's not fair to the baby. That being said, for a min. I thought you were going to go ahead and try and have a baby with this guy who does not want to have a baby. You say he's history, good for you, if that's true. You don't need that AH. Take care of yourself and find a man who wants you and wants to have a baby with you. Because that is what YOU and your baby deserve! LOVE! Don't sell yourself short. Yeah, I guess I can be a b*tch if that is what you want to call . I call it being real.

Good Morning Girls, sorry i didn't get back on yesterday, i was busy getting spoilt rotten, DH, gave me a beautiful card, a single red rose and a huge chocolate heart in the morning, then he told me he had the day off, we took the kids to school then he took me shopping, he bought me 2 new pairs of jeans, 2 new pairs of boots and 8 new tops, plus a cd, and he bought the kids a new game for the wii. We picked the kids up from school, he got them all changed out of their school uniforms and took us all out for a valentines day dinner. So when we got back and got the kids all into bed i daren't come and sit on the laptop, i hopped in the bath then treated him with sexy new RED undies, lol. I only bought him a card, oh yeah, when we got back from shopping in the afternoon, there was a card through my door saying that flowers were left for me next door cos i was out, they are georgeous!! Shawn, how are you today? sorry i wasn't here when you were feeling down yesterday, Rom, what's going on with you? CD9 today right? the same as me, when should you be O-ing, i should be on tuesday, Fertilitiy friend says that tomorrow is my first fertile day, although, i'm not convinced, i took the clomid a day earlier this cycle could that make me O a day quicker? my cervix is high this morning, anyway, what do you think BD everyday or every other day? i'm thinking every day just once at night, last month we went about 3 or 4 times a day, which i think was too much lol, maybe i didn't give him time to build back up. if i didn't BD during the fertile window i'd think i was missing my time y'no. I think the mixture of EPO and Robitussin sure is doing the trick, i've been wet - like really wet, for 2 whole days, Jodi sorry you got your AF, i don't really know what to say about your situation, you probably wouldn't even need pre-seed or any of the other stuff you mentioned, i think you just need a nice man, and time. Tonya, do they sell Adios diet pills in the US? i took them a couple of years ago, obviously i watched what i ate aswell while i was on them, but i didn't do that much exercise and i lost 30lb in 6 weeks, i swear by them and you can buy them over the counter here, if not they sell them cheap on ebay.co.uk and would ship them across. Sorry to have writen sooo much, Love and Babydust to everyone xx
