Katt, I took out the dashes, but couldn't get your chart to come up.

ROBYN - yeah what a relief for you!!! Did they say why the levels might have dropped? So glad to hear the beta doubled!! So exciting!!!

Hello Ladies... How is everyone doing today? Robyn... Sorry about my confusion and I hope that your DH Jason took you out last night. If not then tonight you should go and celebrate. That is great news... I am really happy for you. Just remember to not stress and please don't let anyone on these boards get you too worked up. Some people just don't know when to keep their opinions to themselves. Everyone has been so welcoming. I am sure that I am going to lean on all of you for support. Last month when I had my first IUI, I was a ball of stress. This month, I am just going to take each day as it comes and not think about it. Since my beta is on the 12/22. I am really hoping that my Christmas present is going to be a BFP. I wish everyone here Luck and may we all see BFPs in the near future!!!

Robyn i am so pleased to hear that your beta doubled,that is so wonderful.Everything is going to be ok for you and baby.I understand you being worried and everything.Shauna your sweet thanks for sending us christmas cards.I wish i could afford to send you all christmas cards that would be really great.Cooper im going to keep my fingers crossed that you get a bfp im keeping you in my thoughts.We are here for you anytime you need us."HUGS"TO EACH ONE OF YOU GIRLS.

Cooper - thank you so much for the well wishes. I feel so relieved right now. Not completely out of the woods but the IVF nurse said all looks great and to take it easy. So when was your IUI? How are you feeling from it. And why do they make you wait so long to take a test? One thing I noticed with all this infertility that sometimes we know so much so soon that most people dont. I think that just adds so much unnecessary stress. My sister is 8 weels pregnant she had her 2 betas and a u/s. Thats it. Me I am going for the 4th one already. Its alot. What also sucks is now I have to give the RE 2000.00 for my frozen embryos for the transfer they did on the 25th. They wound up freezing 4. These doctors love to take our money. When you do Shared Risk you are actually paying for the IVF procedure nothing else is including thats the catch to a lot of it. Anyway Rhonda thanks so much also. I think everyones prayers actually worked. Will check in later time for the dreaded progesterone shot i hate this.

Hi girls ... oh ROBYN, I am so relieved for you ... I remember how disappointed I was when I got my beta results after my miscarriage, I am happy that your news went the opposite direction. Welcome to COOPER, it's always nice to meet a new lady. RHONDA, please try to remember to take your iron pills, even though you have so much on your mind right now. BROOKE, it's 10 days before my due date and the only things that I am feeling are increasingly strong b/h contractions and sometimes shooting pains, but that's about it ... I am just praying that I don't go into labor until my Mom comes back, which we will decide after my next appt. which is on Wednesday, but she had a few things to get done and will probably come back by next weekend. KATT, I checked out your chart and I agree that you didn't O yet, maybe because you bled a bit longer than usual, your follicular phase will be longer, I would keep bd'ing until a temp rise. Are you still doing OPKs? LESLIE, glad the milk came in, now he willl start gaining weight and really growing ... I remember that full breasted feeling, I love it and can't wait to start breastfeeding again ... just got to stay strong for those first couple of weeks that it is pretty painful. Hello to everyone else ... oh, btw, if anyone sends me email, please send it to [email protected] ... I haven't checked my hotmail in a while and am mostly using this one now. Love to you all.

Before I say anything else, Robyn, I am so happy for you. You go girl. :) Ok, be right back.

Just a quick hello to all. I am still not done with the house work. Cooper when was your IUI? Wishing you good results: ) Katt, I was on clomid 5 times total and am clueless about my ovulation when on it. It was erratic. They say you should ovulate 5-9 days after the last pill. If you didn't by day 10 (after finishing your last pill) then you didnt ovulate. The cycle when I got my BFP I didnt think I ovulated. I tested till 16 days after last pill and still no +opk, but I did. Unfortunately it didnt take. So may be you did O, who knows? Good luck. Shauna you are so sweet. Ok my sweet ladies, back to laundry. I will respond to all when I come back. I made the mistake of promising DS a trip to ChuckECheese. I must have been drunk when I did that. LOL. LOve yas.

WHO HAS BIRTHDAY'S THIS MONTH? I think all my fellow Sag's are MIA am I right? I mean Nicole and my birthdays are the same day I thought but I can't remember if it is NicoleM or B. I know Kathy has a b-day this month and Jada...Anyone else?? COOPER_ What cycle day are you on? It seems we are the same this month - I am CD14 and Oed yesterday (according to my chart anyways, provided my temp stays above the CL) Dec 21 is my b-day and near the end of my 2ww, then Christmas is around the corner..; so I too am hoping for the best present ever!! RHONDA_ Christmas is many things and just knowing I have you as a friend is quite enough ;) ROBYN_ I have definitely heard horror stories about the progesterone shots. One RN said the oil is very cold and thick like molassas and it's all one can do to get it through and 18G needle - that's a whopper - OUCH! The girl I invited here used here thiegh instead of the tushie so she could sit, but then she said she could hardly walk she was in so much pain. You definitely have strength Robyn! (((((((((CONGRATS)))))))))) KELLEY_ I just love you! I dunno what else I can say, it's like you can swoop in and save the day - you're so awesome ;) Oh, I thought of that last night, the whole extra bleeding day and all. Looks like my temp rose this morning though it was a bit disrupted...you see I have my time set for 4am that way M-F if I rise at 3 or even 530 the software will recalculate my temp to match 4am. Last night dh and I watched movies and the Superman movie was a bit longer than anticpated, anyway if I temp on wkends I need to be in bed by 12am and last night I fell out at 130 so that's only 2.5 hrs of sleep before a normal 4am rise so I woke up at 526 to temp and told the software I took the temp at 5am (3hrs is 430am making it 1 hour difference). Eh - the damn thing is disturbed but either way it would be above the CL-whew! TANYA_ I am all about the who knows when exactly, lol as I can only assume it was the day b4 the rise which would be approximately 6 days after the last Clomid pill.. My alt doc said the p-cream doesn't expire per say it just loses some potency so I am gonna start that tonight or tomorrow - just incase. Kelley is right though to remind me that my period was longer and heavier this cycle so that probably has a lot to do with it. I am thinking maybe another TCOYF read is in order if this month is a bust. Okay, I need to downey and place my bets for today's football. Oh, Clerks II is halarious (vulger, very vuler if ya like that) and Superman Returns rocked! That movie got bad reviews but they seem to forget the premise of "lois & Clark" and my guess is they used this first movie to totally build that up b4 going ape with the villians. Okay, I am done rambling. I'll try to check in later! Cyas - Luvyas & babydust!

Oh and TANYA_ I axed the opk's from my chart and considered it a loss and just stopped testing and followed my temps. I figured as long as they're low to assume I haven't Oed and bd like a mad woman, lol! Y'all think I should try to get my dh today too? We got 4 days in this week - you girls know that is quite a bit for me & dh, LOL.

Hello girls your all a bunch of sweethearts.How is everyone doing?Iam doing ok i guess.It is cold here but nice and warm inside.I have been taking my iron tablet as im suppose to.I hope my level gets built back up.After i had those two m/c and was pg with my oldest boy i had to take prometrium pills and progesterone shots.I was getting the shots 3 times a week and had to have them in my butt.I remember it was thick oily stuff and they had to put inject the stuff real slow and then rub it in so it would not clot right there.My rump was bruised so bad and was sore until i got real use to taking the shots.Im glad my body had started producing enough progesterone so i never had to take shots like that ever again.With my first m/c i had they seen two sacs so they think i was pg with twins i was not very far along and before i actually m/c they did a u/s and seen two sacs. so if my progesterone would not have been low i would have carried the pregnancy.Anyway i dont know why im rambling on so much because what i was getting at was shots in the rump do hurt and leaves alot of bruises,anyway luv you girls.
