CENDY & DEA, i have had those feelings myself. you want to be happy for someone, but much easier said then done, right? my friend was told she could never have kids, had every problem in the book, from endo, to no periods for months at a time, ovarian cycsts, and was on BC for pain, and regulation of cycles, i suppose, and she goes off birth control 1 month, and BOOM gets pregnant! and here i was feeling so bad for her, that the dr.s didn't think she'd have kids. i know it is soooooooooooooooooooooo hard, but trust me, one day, and one day soon i hope, the baby shower WILL be for YOU, and the CONGRATULATIONS, will be for YOU, and YOU will be spreading that great news around. i know it is little comfort right now, but i promise you this. we are all gonna stick together until the very end, ok? **lots of baby dust to all!*** ALWAYS keep your eyes on the prize, because the struggle you are going through now, and what we are all going through now, makes each one of us, better parents in the long run, who appreciate our children, that much more! turn the tears to smiles, and never forget it.

by the way DEA....i don't think you were being selfish...i think you were being human!!! hugs my friend!

Thanks SHERRY. I am definately sticking around until I get that BFP! I hope all of you do, too. This forum certainly helps keep me sane. Our family doesn't know about us ttc. So- every event we go through the whole "when are you going to start having kids"..."don't wait too long- what happens if it doesn't work right away"..."you aren't getting any younger" (i'm 32). Little do they know!!! At least DH and I can still get a giggle out of the whole situation. And boy, when I do finally get PG, I'm going to let all of them know that all those comments were said while we were trying. I've learned my lesson the hard way. I will never again bring up couples ttc or make comments or ask people because you just never know. I am praying that someone here gets that BFP for a Christmas gift. ~~DUST~~

Hey Girls; Bumping us up- nothing new to report. Except- I have ZERO signs of anything. With AF due in less than a week I should have sore bbs or something! Ha- My body is so whacked!!! Happy Monday! ~~DUST~~

To all of you who have a million friends and family who are preg....It is so hard and so painful---and most of all, normal. I feel so grateful to know that I am not the only one who cries all the time and then feels guilty for not being as excited for them as I otherwise would be. We have to have faith that it will work out and we will all share in the joy of being preg. Don't be too hard on yourselves. Let it out....But everytime you get sad, just think of what the moment will feel like when you find out you are having a baby. And let that feeling wash all over you--it's overwhelming. It always makes me feel better comforted by the thought of "someday soon" :)
Dust!!

hi girls- just bumping us up. nothing new to report...bit sore in the bbs region, slight cramping. AF is probably on her way. i am expecting nothing this month. take care! ~DUST~

Hello ladies! My freakin AF came on Saturday, at 3:00 right in the middle of our family Christmas pictures. There I was staddling a stool, when it hit me. I was wearing beige pants too. I was rushing us through those pictures, but they turned out pretty good. I have to say that I was upset, but relieved as well. To finally get it over with. It looks like my cycles are getting back closer to my 28 days prior to Clomid. I have a prescription at the pharmacy, but I am not sure I want to do it one last time. What do you all think. I was on it for 6 months, no luck and off it for 2 months no luck. A part of me wants to, but then I think about the side effects. Dea and Brie, I think we are just human when we get upset and cry because we are not the one spreading the new of our upcoming arrival. I feel even more selfish because I have two beautiful children. You would think that they would be enough, but I can't explain the need to have another one. It is crazy I know. Well how is everyone? It seems our thread has gotten a little quiet. I was hoping to hear of more BFPS when I checked the thread, but I did not see any. Maybe a lot of you are waiting on Santa to tell us. I wish all of you wonderful ladies and gents (you never know) who graces our presence on this thread, says prayers for us, and just listens to us a very merry Christmas and Happy New Year! BABY DUST OUT!

Ok, well i took 2 hpt's yesterday. Both came back with 2 lines, the second being fainter than the test line, but it was def there. This AM i went to the Dr and they did a urine and blood. Their urine test had an even fainter line than the hpt. Hopefully I will get the blood results tomorrow. The wait is awful. Today is CD 27, so it would be really early. Has anyone had a faint line and been preg?

Hi Everyone, I am new to the thread but I'd like to join in the waiting game with you all. Here's my story...I'm 25 and we've been ttc for about 4 months now. I had been on BCP since I was 18 and went off 4 months ago, since then my cycle has been eratic and long, it goes up and down, last month it was 43 days, this month I'm on cd 19. I have no idea when I ovulate or if I am. I've been using the ovulatation calculators and it says I should be ovulating this weekend, but for the past couple days I've been feeling crampy and having the sharp middle pains I used to have when I was ovulating before I went on the pill. So now I think I may have already ovulated. I'm so confused...but I want to give it a little more time before I go see my doctor and start charting things and all that. I just want it to happen naturally and without to much trouble. I just need some other ladies to talk to, so here I am.

Cendy, sorry to have read you got your AF!! She does have bad timing right ? Its always bad timing when she is in town!! Good luck next month. Taking the Clomid cant hurt but after 6 months I dont know if it will help. What does your Dr plan on doing for you if you do take this last round and it doesnt work ? Im still rooting for you!!

CENDY: sorry about AF. Clomid deal- I agree with CC, what's the doc say? After six months hmmm.. have you tried IUI with the clomid?? BRIE: when using ANY hpt a line means pg. (Except evaporation lines). CD 27 is early. Let us know what the blood says.... and don't forget- sometimes the blood comes back neg. too. And can be wrong!! Any other "body" signs??? Welcome AMANDA. 4 months doesn't seem too bad. Odds are you'll be pg in the next 8 months. Going off bcp...your body sometimes needs a few cycles to get back on track (mine did). Also- EWCM didn't show up for me until almost a year after going off of them. I will say though, charting is a very good way to know what is going on with your body. Good luck! Well my deal is.... bbs a bit more sore and I'm eating everything in sight (not uncommon before AF shows up). Like I posted before- I expect nothing. Just want AF to show this time so I can get going on mext month. Does that sound weird or is it just me?!? Co-worker had a baby yesterday. Mom and baby boy are healthy and happy. She took 9 months to conceive. Right in the ave... ~~DUST to all~~

Hello?? Hope everyone is well. bumping us up... I've got a stint of insomnia hitting right now- thought I'd come by. Anyone know if that's a sign?? if so- I've been pregnant for over 10 years.... ha!! Everyone ready for the weekend? Got a little cleaning to do but I'm basically ready. DH and I host Christmas dinner. Eve is spent at my parent's home. Good night!

Hi all!!! Congrats Brie!!! I am so excited for you. Two lines faint or not means pregnant. It is just the amoung of the hormone that is making the line faint. I am sure as the days go on you will get darker lines. I have my fingers, eyes and toes crossed for you for good luck! Welcome to our thread Amanda! Glad to have you join. I am sure you will get a BFP soon! Dea sorry about the insomnia. I understand about wanting to get you AF over and done with so that you can try again. I am glad mine is here and amazingly gone. I decided not to take the Clomid. I have not considered IUI. Having three prior pregnancies and an HSG, I figure I am just not timing it right or BDing enough. I plan to wear me and my DH out this next month. I am also making sure to take the Evening Primrose Oil. It is high in vitamin E, and I did not know it. A friend swears by Vit E helping her conceive so I feel good about taking it. Also, it really helps with your CM. Well, Merry Christmas to you all! BABY DUST!

Hi All, I am new and hope I can Join..Cendy, I finally made it. Here is my story. I have 30 years old with PCOS, and have tried for 6 years to become pregnant, I have been on clomid three times with no luck, but wanted to try clomid one more time before we start the adoption process. I start it in January and hope this time it will work. Any words of advise on how to help it along?

sandy welcome, and sorry for your plight. have you tried iui or ivf? i see you are already talking about adoption, so i was jsut curious if you tried these other methods first? adoption is a beautiful thing, but i hope you get pregnant on your own. good luck. well all iam on cd 9 now, and already am starting to surge, and get before "o" pains. it seems like it's happening earlier and earlier every month. anyway, my sister is pregnant again, and she wasn't even trying. doesn't stuff like that make you so mad!?

brie you are preggo congratulations. cendy and dea how are you girls? well i hope, what cd's are you on now? sherry

Hi CENDY, SHERRY, welcome SANDY! CENDY- glad AF has left the building... SHERRY- I've lost track but I think I am on cd 28. Bbs aren't as sore as yesterday. What's that mean?? AF is nearly here?? Yesterday I could bearly move w/out some kind of discomfort. Today I am fine..don't feel anything unless I really "try" to make them sore. SHERRY- you must be getting ready to "o" soon??? Hope you and DH have been busy... :o) SANDY- I wonder too if you have tried IUI or IVF??? There are a lot of other options if you want to become pregnant. Do you feel the technology/options are better now than 6 years ago??? Well- need to get ready for the big gathering tonight. ~~DUST~~ and Merry Christmas to you all.
