Thank you Kelley and cmellisa for welcoming me back. This has always been such a supportive place and I've missed you all. I did feel a bit like I was abandoning you all, but was going through a rough time. I'm sure you all understand. I'm also glad it looks like most of the sweet ladies stayed. We did have some trouble-makers in here for awhile... Has anyone heard anything from Jada, Natasha or Kathy? Well, happy weekend ladies!

HI girls! I clicked on this thread then realized, um I gotta go back and catch up, lol which I still have to do; but I wanted to ask if doinf Clomid days 3-7 will lengthen my follicular phase? According to my temps I still have not Oed - I don't get it?? Maybe Cliomid was a good rush for the ovaries but not so much on the release? I am so confused...ok brb

Morning ladies. Read all the threads, but cant really post. Super busy cleaning the house, doing the laundry and making a Chrismas show costume for DS, he is Pinocchio. LOL. Dont ask me why I didn't just buy the costume, its a long ass story which had me screaming like a mad woman yesterday. NicoleM, welcome back girl. We did miss you:) Hope you are feeling better now and ready to hop back on the TTC wagon. Robyn, thinking of you today girl. Hope those numbers are rising. Well hello to all. Love yas and be back later.

WOW what a mess!! Okay I am gonna read on this thread now.

noone take offense but I wanted to post to this sweet young lady personally... (((((((((((NICOLE)))))))))))) How wonderful to see you visit us after all these months! Hey you remember the pelvic pain I was having?? Well I think it may have been my bladder as suggested because my Doc told me get a bottle of D-Mannose and take 1/8tsp a day - I haven't had any pain since!!!!! Luvyas girl - glad your back and I believe you have a b-day coming up right?

Robyn wishing you higher beta #s today! keep us posted! So i got my embie report today - they are still a little behind, i have 1 7cell grade A, 1 6cell grade b, 1 4 cell grade b and 1 2cell grade c, that last embie i beleive has stopped growing so not really counting on that one! If I can at least get the top 2 to transfer! Pray those embies keep on dividing for tomorrow! I have a x-mas party to go to tonight so that will be fun! I watched this show last night about this lady who had 2 sets of quads - crazy!! Well hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! I did my 2nd pio shot last night -i put ice on it this time beofre the shot and i think it really did help b/c my butt isnt sore on that side but still sore from the shot the other night - ugh!

I know this post is long but I have answered everyone I can so please try to get through it ;) I have sent out an important email, so please look for it! If you didn't get it, maybe I do not have your email? WELCOMES to COOPER!!!_ My follie was in the twenties in size on day 10 and still no O! Hmm...maybe I should get oneof thoese moniter thingies? KELLEY_ So sorry about the news of your MIL, here's hoping the biopsy comes back okay. I hope that I will be pregnant this month - it would be the best Birthday/Chrsitmas present ever! Speaking of birthdays, don't we hjave a few this month?? KELLEY_ I am so confused yet again this cycle I feel like I am going mad!! You may have not gotten a pos opk but you did get a temp rise! I did look at some of my charts though and my fertile phase usually last about 7 days. The difference is I am on my 6th and still no O yet. I am gonna try to hit up my dh for one last go-round, lol. just incase. GAYLE_ Your u/s sounds so excotong! I am kinda wondering if me not taking my Chinese Herbs thursday and friday nights had something to do with my chart. I know it sounds crazy or even eeri, but the accupuncture lady specifically siad these pills would help my body temperature increase which is why I think my chart was so erratic last month and this month all my temps in the follicular phase are higher than normal. Take a look at my chart history... I am usually somewhere between 96.4 & 97.2 (((BROOKE)))_ You are too sweet!! I just updated my chart today, btw. MELISSA_ Would it be too emotionally difficult to do your ivf every other cycle? I ask only because believe it or not the body is not consistant in everything and maybe all the repeated meds, hormones, etc are too much too quickly? I can tell you that my cycles vary drastically or so I am learning, and forcing the hormones may be too much for your body to take so repeatedly. Please, I am only thinking of your health (((hugs Melissa))) In any event I am happy to hear they are muticelled and wishing you a successful transer with a permadent implantation! RHONDA_ Now there's an idea...maybe they'll send me a freebie, lol Good luck in the next town - sending you lots of new money vibes! As far as the anemia is concerned, it will take a bit of time to build your levels back up. Anemia effects your hemoglobin. Be sure to get all of your vitamins, protein, and especially antioxidnants and take those Iron pills with food they'll make you nauseated and curb your appetite - but eat okay! ROBYN_ I love you too! And I don't want to kill your momment or anything, but to be quite honest, you and all the girls are technically my only true friends as well - I talk to y'all more than anyone I know, outside of my mother, and my 2 best friends live in other states so I never see them either. TANYA2_ Sending high numbers your way!! LESLIE_ You are too funny! Is your new bundle of joy sleeping through the night? Have you posted any pictures yet? I know y'all got things to do, no rush ;) Well I guess that about wraps it up for playing catch-up, lol. So let me send my HELLO's to to Erin, Christine, Jamie, Tanya, Shauna and Jess. MISS U's to Heather, Kathy, Denise, Natasha, and Christie.

still waiting......

Well I looked up my chinese herb thingie and it doesn't say a damn thing about temps so why would the acupuncturist say that? This is what it says: Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan - This formula helps to remove stagnant blood and soften hard lumps. It is used for a person with hard lumps in the lower abdomen. The symptoms are: hard lumps in the lower abdomen, painful and spasmodic difficulty in menstruation, or retention of lochia with abdominal pain, (refused to be pressed) after childbirth, dysmenorrhea, abdominal distention and pain, profuse leukorrhea.

Should I be taking aspirin with these?

Nicole, wlecome back girl! I missed you when you left. I'm so happy you're feeling better now. I hope you stay with us! Robyn, I hope you get some good news today. I was thinking about you when I woke up this morning. I was also dreaming about doughnuts!! (it must be the hormones) Mel, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that those embies keep mult and you have two embies to transfer. Tanya, sewing a costume! I wouldn't know where to start. I bet the play will be cute. Leslie, that's great about your milk coming in. Porno boobs, LOL! I remember that with ds. Katt, did you only do the clomid this month and no herbs? Can you give me your ff chart address again. I charted this time for 14 months, so maybe I can help. That's strange if it didn't release. Maybe you o' that day. Did you opk after your app? OKay, I'll be checking back in. Kelley, any labor signs?

Hi all my beautiful girls,how are you all doing?Nicole welcome back.Im sending you all ttc alot of baby dust and alot of prayer.I know it will happen very soon for you girls.Nothing new with me,just now worried about me bieng anemic.HUGS to all of you.

Katt well basically i do ivf every other month b/c they make you go on the pill for a month before you start a new cycle. If this cycle doesnt work i'm going to switch it up and use follistim instead of gonal f and repronex. It is definitely emotional month after month!! I hope i get pregnant before the 2 year mark - it makes me cringe thinking about that!

;
BROOKE_ Comid + herbs this month. It was the first time for the clomid and the second cycle of herbs. Yes, I tested that day and got the 2 lines one lighter than the other. The lines increasingly got darker but never as dark as the test line then stopped abruptly at 2pm on Thurs (cd12) - still no temp rise? (((RHONDA))) MELISSA_ Which brand of b/c they have you using? Yasamin is the only one out there that is mild and uses the same hormones in different dosages rather than the mixed bag as far as I know. Stay away from the Ortho's!

GOT THE RESULTS THEY HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED FROM 72 TO 179 I am so happy!! The IVF nurse says everything looks great to continue with the shots I back in Monday for the 4th beta. I said I am I ok she said right now everything looks great. If I wouldnt have gone in on Tuesday for the 1st beta 2 days early I wouldnt have known there was a drop in levels i wouldve went from 72 to 179 and the doc wanted 150. I just want to say I love all of you and thank you so much for your help these past two days. I am not totally out of the woods yet but definitely 100 times better than 2 days ago.

YEAH Robyn!!!!!! That'a such great news. I know you're not out of the woods, but your #'s seem really good. How many more beta's will they give you?
