Just finished my last shot, have u/s in the morning, will post an update then. Laurie, sorry you are benched due to a cyst. Can you try naturally regardless this cycle? Thanks for all the updates on where you all are in your cycles. I am on like 2 other threads and love the friends I am making on this one, so want to be able to keep up and be respectful by remembering special things going on in your lives. Like I said before, the drugs for my back make me tired, make me spell badly, and just plain make me stupid.

Also, thank you so much for the positive vibes for my IUI's this weekend. The U/S in the morning will show if I am ready to trigger or not. I hope I am, I feel like I am!!!!

Hi - yeah Tracy, I can't wait to hear about follie size tomorrow - let us know. I'm on CD4, and just with all the timing, will be going natural this month and should start my first cycle for IUI next month - but who knows - may get it to happen this month anyway!! Lots of positive thoughts! Also, I just read back through the thread from the beginning - whatever happened to Alyssa - did she get her BFP? Anyway - chat with you guys tomorrow. Got a busy day and then dh and I are going to Atlanta for 4 days - he's got a business trip and we used to live there so we're going to catch up with old friends. Should be fun.

Hi ladies! I've been off for awhile because I am remodeling my kitchen. Things have been crazy around here! Plus, I start back at school on Monday, so I have been at school setting up. Yikes, where did the summer go? My update still had my head swimming. I was on CD17 and started my period. I am always 27-28 days. Dr. said that the cysts might have trigger it.--something about an estrogen drop when the cysts were absorbed. I don't know. Today's scan showed that one cyst had completely disolved and the other shrank quite a bit. Anyway, I am now on CD3 and did the first of my injections tonight. I take 4 days of gonal f and then go back for a scan on Monday. It sure was nice to not have to wait the entire 28 days to start the next cycle of meds! Maybe things are turning for the better now? I think that means that meme, hopeful, and I are on close to the same schedule. Is that right? Let this be our month! Let this be all of our month!!! Dana, sorry to hear about your loss. You seem to have a great supporter in your mom. You are very lucky about that! Kristi, is it time for that good ole baby dance? If it is, have a lot of fun this week. Cromwell, I had two cysts after my first cycle with clomid. Dr. said that cysts occur in 1 of 5 women. We just happened to be the lucky winners. Too bad it wasn't the lottery! Definitely try this cycle naturally. Let's hope you get pg this month or maybe you'll start af early like I did. Tracy, great luck with the IUI. Tell your husbands swimmers and your eggs that it is time to meet and party! Natasha and lifequest, I am keeping my fingers crossed for your bfp's. I hope I didn't miss anyone. Sticky baby dust to all of us!!!!!! Have a great night and happy Friday! Stacie

Hi ladies, feeling tired tonight, but wanted to check in. We all have all sorts of things going on on this post, don't we? We're all sure to learn a lot from each other. We'll know all there is to know about cysts, iui's, mri's, implantation, follicles, triggers ..my goodness! Of course all we really want is a bfp, but knowledge is power! Tracy, yes I am 8dpo - I'm SO impressed that you can keep us all straight! :) I don't feel any symptoms, but I am kinda tired. I'm going to a family reunion out of town this weekend, so that will help to speed along the 2ww, I hope. Of course that means a few questions about why we don't have kids...groan. Wish me luck! Healthy sticky baby dust to all!

Good to see you back Stacie! Yes, the bding starts tonight I beleive, I am cd12 today and started getting some noticable cm yesterday, so just waiting for that drop in my temps! Tracy, cant wait to hear how your u/s is today and see how that is all progressing. Laurie, sorry about the cyst, but I would still try naturally as well.... I am ready for a break with the Clomid, so if I were you, I would just take the month and enjoy!! Well, I hope everyone is doing well and wish everyone lots of baby dust this weekend!!

The ultrasound went very well. I am stimming for one more night and doing the trigger tomorrow night, then IUI's Sunday and Monday mornings. Today my lining was great and I had two 16mm, one 14mm, and one 18mm follies. I could have triggered if I wanted to tonight, but I told them the more the better so let's grow those smaller ones just one more night and they fully agreed. Meme, have fun in Atlanta catching up with old friends. And about Alyssa, she checked in not too long ago and told us she got PG on like her third cycle of clomid with IUI or something like that. So she recently got her BFP. Stacie, remodeling the kitchen can be fun and stressful. Glad you checked in. Start those shots girl. I am almost done, doing my 7th and final gonal-f tonight. Natasha, have fuuuunnnnn at the family reunion. I will be anxiously awaiting the news of your BFP!!!!!! lol. Gonna clean a little house now. I have done NOTHING all day since I got home from my u/s. Hopeful, Dana, Lifequest....how are you ladies hanging in there?

 

Kristi1 - August 25

Sounds great Tracy!! Keep us posted and good luck this weekend witht he IUI's!!

 

Tracy88 - August 26

Kristi, didn't mean to forget about you in my last post!!!! Get some nookie going on girl. Once you notice that CM.........get busy!!!! Triggering is tonight for me, then IUI at 9am. I'm freaking out. Just scared all this will be for nothing I guess.

Hi ladies, I'm back from my family reunion..I have nothing to report. I'm about 11 dpo today (had to check the calendar to find out, so I'm impressed with myself that I 'let it go' enough that I had to look up my dpo day! Anyway, the reunion went well. I played with my nieces and nephews and imagined what it would be like to have a child of my own. I felt sorry for myself a couple of times. BUT, watching my sister and sis-in-law etc.chasing/entertaining their kids 24/7 looks pretty crazy, I have to say! It's all good though, it was a fun time. Tracy, good luck with trigger!

And, I also meant to say that I think it's time to start a new thread since ours is so long. I'll call the new one "TTC #1 and over 34?" Talk to you all soon over there ladie...!
