EMM - January 19

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who has inlaw issues. I am very afraid that if everyone knows that they will question that my son is my husband's. I know, and he knows and that is all that matters. But what if those crazy inlaws of mine start thinking, or worse saying stuff like that. I wish that I had a mother-in-law that I liked and wanted to hang out with and shop with, but fat chance of that ever happening. Thanks for relating.

EMM...I know what you mean about wanting a good relationship with your mother-in-law. When dha dn I were dating he never wanted to do anything with his family. I always gave lectures on you only have family and need to be closer...give it a chance and etc. He said you wait you will see why...well...I do know why he never wants to be around his family. I do like my father-in-law so that is who I talk to most when I am there. If you ever want to vent...look me up and I could share stories that would make you melt. Tracy...I switched doctors in our practice. It was a big step but when you are paying good money and NEVER seeing the RE, it was time to move onto a new doctor building his clients and giving the monitoring and time you so much need during this time. I hope you get that BFP so you do not have to make that change...Everyone...good luck this month...we need more BFP!!!!!!

Hey Elsyse, it's lene from the other forum. Hi ladies! I am on my 1st IUI and am actually on the same timing as Elsyse. One ques for you Elsyse...what symptoms did you feel when you were pregant? AND what symptoms are you feeling now? I feel sometimes like a pull in my insides...sometimes stronger then others...is that a symptom?????? :(

My mother-in-law said to me one time, "I can't help to think sometimes that if my son were married to another woman, I would be a grandmother 3 times over by now." That hurt!! But, I thought about it and realized that she wants to be a grandmother just as much as I want to be a mother. She knows about our struggle and even offers to pay for the IUIs (of course we won't let her - that is just too "weird"). We talk to each other at least once a week for sometimes 2 hours at a time. She actually has become a friend. So, I guess I am pretty lucky.

Hi all. Sorry about the inlaw issues. That sucks! My ex-Mother in Law was a nightmare, so I can relate to how you all feel. My current one is FAR away in Equador and Father in law in Puerto Vallarta. So... my only issue is they don't see Ryley very often. So I am lucky. Here is a question for you all-today is cd 9 for me. I have a bit of ewcm, I am spotting slightly. I took an opk test (#2) and forgot about it. When I checked it 3 hours later is was very dark. I took another one not too long ago that was lighter??? Could I be ovulating this soon?? I hope not dh refuses to bd because it takes 2 days for femara to be out of your system and there have been studies that show birth defects if taken while pg. So he says he wants to wait an extra day!!!! So I am hoping I do not miss an early ovulation b/c of that. I am freaking out. I guess I'll call RE tomorrow and probably do an ultrasound to be safe. But I am a little worried. Lynn, glad is going well with femara so far. Tracy I hope your back is ok. I am sorry you are on the emotional rollercoaster. Hang in there Girl! Well gotta go clean dishes and put child to bed. BIG HUGS, BELLY RUBS AND FUTURE BELLYBUMPS!!

 

JCR - January 19

ok, that is 3 sticks I have peed on and only cd 9. I am still sticking with my origninal number of 17!!!!

 

Elyse - January 19

Good Morning! Lori - I am sooo sorry to heatr about the things your mother-in-law says. How hurtful. Just know that you WILL be pg! Don't let her hate or her hurt in - block it with all the baby dust you can find. Lene, The 1st time I was pg I had the same symptoms (I think) that I have now. I feel crampy and tugging inside. My back is killing me- lower back - like sciatica. I feel very emotional, weepy and very lovey and I feel this incredible sense of calm and peace on top of all the anxiety. I also want to eat every single thing in the house. i ate a whole bag of oreos in 2 days! I never do that! Hope that helps.

 

Lori - January 19

Tracy - sorry about your fall down the stairs. I hope you are alright!! JCR - I have heard that some fertility drugs can affect OPKs. Whether or not femara is one of them, I am not sure. The best bet would be to call your doctor and ask. It seems strange the you would get a line on cd9. But, then again, I am no expert.

 

Elyse - January 19

Hey everyone - what is the earliest dp O or dp IUI that you have tested and got an accurate result?

 

EMM - January 19

Good morning everyone. I love to see that I am not alone with the in law thing. Looks like we could start a whole new thread! But back to the other stuff. As I have said before I am like clockwork 27 days, and day 14. This month though it is day 9 and I still have some pink down there. Usually on day 6 I am finished with AF for the month. Anyone have any experience like that? I guess it is normal, but when you are looking for every little tiny thing then you tend to notice things that don't even matter. Well check back later!

 

jcr - January 19

Emm, today is cd 10 for me and yesterday I also had pink??? Very new to me. AF was finished on Monday? So I don't know what is up. Tracy how is your back? Are you feeling better today? Lynn, how are things on femara. I go in the 25th to see if it is working for me. Although I will call today and see if they want to see me. I read back thru all the thread and sorry for all the insurance junk! I am lucky mine covers everything?? I am blue cross/blue shield, and I just need to see someone on my list. It doesn't include anyone that I have heard raving things about, but so far the RE I found seems to be ok. When do they decide to do IUI instead of telliing you to just bd? How is everyone doing this morning? I guess we are all on close to the same day this cycle. When is a good time to start bd'ing? I never know when I am the most fertile-silly huh? belly rubs.

 

CC - January 19

Hi everyone...I guess I am feeling out of sorts today, I dont know why. I am grumpy and grouchy for really no reason. My sis-in-law driving me crazy (non related ttc issues) but that should be enough to make me feel so aggro today. I feel a little out of touch w/ everyone one the thread as we are back to ttc on our own for now until we see RE and I dont have much to share in that area. EMM and jcr, I too am having a weird cycle. I still have so much yellowish cm its really driving me crazy and I am to the point where I think I need a panty liner. I dont get it. EMM sometimes my af lingers and goes long, or will stop and start up again, maybe thats what is happening to you? Could it be irritation from bd'ing? jcr, I think the opk you forgot about was dark because it sat for so long. Take the leap and buy the Clear Blue monitor. It will take the guess work out of when you are ovulating.Tracy, hope you are doing better and your hormones calm down when you are done w/ the Clomid (when is your last day?)..Its awful you are feeling so badly.

 

Lori - January 19

Hi everybody! CC - sorry to hear that you are out of sorts. Don't feel out of touch with us, ttc is ttc no matter how it is done. Hubby and I are definately going for a few natural cycles if this one doesn't work. Jcr & Lynn - you both are doing femara, are either of you doing anything else? EMM - what do you and your DH plan to do for this cycle? How is everything going? Tracy - I hope that you are ok! Falls down stairs can be nasty!! Are you planning on doing anything else along with clomid this cycle? Elyse and lene, I am not sure where you are at in your cycle?

 

Elyse - January 19

Hi Lori, I had IUI on Sun and Mon, so progesteronle levels on the 23rd and pg test on the 30th. But I have been plotting to cheat by the 27th and do a HPT, along with a couple others. I think Lene is scheduled for pg test on the 30th too.

 

CC - January 19

Thanks Lori for making me feel a little better. I just feel so hopeless right now with the ttc issue. It will pass, it always does, but sometimes there are a few days a month where I get really depressed about it. Can I ask a question of all being seen by a RE who have PCOS...Were all of you already taking the meds prior to being seen by your RE ?

 

d - January 19

Wow, this is where everyone went. It took me a day. Lol. Hope everyone is well. No wicked witch here still. So i am now debating if i should take a test. It was due on the 17th. and no signs of it showing. Baby Dust to all.
