DENISE_ I read on babyhopes.com that men abstaining is a bad thing for ttc because the sperm stagnate. He has to do another SA before Sept 11. Last night we all fished out my OUIJA and I asked when dh & I would conceive and both Mat and CJ said November! So I guess we'll see. That is 3 months right? Mat and CJ were the good spirits we spoke to. If you believe in that stuff? We all had our momment of freaked-outness... as we asked when the world would end "as we know it" and of course it said 2012 the winter soltice polar shift and the end of the Mayan calendar; which by the way ends on my birthday, December 21. Am I wierding y'all out...I am sorry if I am It took about 30 minutes before we got our first one. I like getting the predictions for later validation. The Jets are gonna have a good year and the Denver Broncos are gonna win the superbowl. Well the Broncos was what I hallared after he went to the "D" and he said yes so it is an assumption, not a finished answer. I was the only denver fan in the room. Oh well, it was fun to play around anyway. I gotta pay a few bills online then get ready to go, gggrr. Looks like everyone is sleepin in... love yas!

Hello, I finally had a chance to catch up. Dh's best friend was here from out of town, so things were nutty. Dh's friend is moving back here, he got divorced a year ago because his wife was cheating on him with one of HIS co workers that they were friends with. Very messed up! And they had been ttc for a year and nothing. That's prob for the best! Anyway, my week of bding starts today! Dh is kind of on my nerves, oh well I'll get over it. Robyn, great news about the follies. That's awsome that they're the best ones yet! Oh, tons of baby dust. I love the new pics, your family is beautiful!Denise, that is so sucky about your dd and her friends. I don't know why little girls can be so mean at an early age. I would see it all the time when I was teaching. The boys were so different and way less petty. I'm sure it has a lot to do with being jealous of her. I would have done the same thing you did! I think I got m/s when I was about 6 wk preg. I hope you don't get it too badly. Katt, sound like you had a fun bbq. You poor thing, wwe on a sunday afternoon. Oh well, make the best of it. I have to admit I'm not a big wrestling fan. When it's on tv I'll stop because the women wrestlres have crazy bodies! Don't let dh's swimmers get too stale! You might have to be creative ;) I'm so glad your back to posting! Hey does anyone hear from NicoleM? NB, Thank goodness you got some sleep. That didn't seem like a fun night. I don't know about you but I'm cranky when I don't get enough sleep.Tanya, I'm glad you had fun at the zoo. Ds must have loved it. I'm sorry about the headache, do you still have it today? I hope not. Leslie, I hope you had a fun weekend away. Where did you go? Melissa, my cycle buddy where are you? How's your cycle going? I'll be back later.

Afternoon ladies, well I got woken up from the RE's office. They said that they are very pleased with amount of follicles. They are very mature. So she says I need to discuss more than the just the injection tonite. Since you have the amount of follicles you have the dr said that I must realize that there is a good chance of multiples and more this month. She said its possible that all 5 eggs will be fertilized. I was like oh hell no.. but she said we have to tell you of selective reduction or just having twins. So I told her we already discussed it this morning and we will continue with this cycle. So of course after blowing 300 dollars this morning at the doc I get a positive surge at 3pm. It always happens plus my estrogen level was 993 which was the absolute highest ever and my estrogen level was 414 only 3 days ago. So if everything goes right it might be a good month. I am not getting my hopes up but its the most positive its been since we started with the RE. Thanks for the compliments about the pics. My neice is beautiful. My parents show me pics she looked just like me when I was a baby. Katt as for the orange tabby Wyatt he is a handful I have never had a cat as funny as him. My other ones are hilarious but this one actually talks to you. He sits in the shower and sings HERROOO its so funny he also get some type of hairball that never comes up. Probably just like yours eats everything including plastic from the garbage. Anyway will check in later hi to all of you.

Oh, I don't think I'm going to temp this month. I feel like I need a break. I'll do opk, but sometimes temping makes me nutty! Especially in the 2ww. Everyone must be out, I hope you're all enjoying your Sunday.

Wow, Robyn! This month sure sounds promising!!

Hey Ladies, I have a lot of catching up to do, sorry i was mia I was doing bridal stuff all weekend for my friend who is getting married in Sept - we had the shower and bachelorette party! Anyways i had the trigger shot on thursday and the iuis on Friday and Saturday - I only ended up having 1 good follie which sucks - it seems i responded better the last 2 cycles than this one! Looks like i will be moving onto ivf if this doesn't work! So now i'm in the 2ww and having to do the progesterone suppositories - yuck! BL - have fun bding all week! :) Sorry i was mia!! We will be in the 2ww together!! My bbs are sore from the trigger shot - i hate how it gives you pregnancy symptoms - so unfair! ROBYN - thats great you had 5 follies i only ended up with 1 so kind of disappointing! So did you do iui this weekend?? Baby dust to you! Hi Mommy2 josh - sorry about the migraine - i used to get really bad ones a few years ago!! Hope you are feeling better!! Hi Katt, Kelley, DMK, LESLIE, Slow, Rhonda and Jada and everyone else!!!

<CMELISSA> do you also do Clomid with the IUI? I havent gotten that far yet with the IUI we just do Clomid and the Ovidrel Trigger Shot. This is my 4th month of Clomid. The 1st 2 months didnt work I didnt ovulate. I had one successful cycle at 150mg and this is my 2nd month of 150 with a natural cycle in btw. This one has produced the most so we will see. I understand about the pg symptoms. I had so many when I first started till I realized they are just from all the fertility meds. I wish you luck as we know you only need one egg. So best of luck to you during the 2ww.

Hey Robyn, yeah i did iui with clomid too - i guess it helps get the sperm closer to the egg and they are waiting once the egg releases - maybe mention that to your dr, for next cycle, hopefully though you will be pregnant this one!! How did you know if you didn't ovulate on the clomid??

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! <KATT> Sounds like you had fun last night! Ribs are one of my fav's. We had them recently here as well. No prob about the oncall thing. I hate being oncall, how about you? So far so good today, only one call. Let me not jinx it though! I am jealous about you and your coffee! I was a total coffee-holic, especially starbucks, and I am going through withdrawals! I have gotten a decaf twice now, but it's just not the same! I hope you are enjoying your wrestling show! I went to one a few years back, probably 6 years ago or so. It was interesting! I am not really a big fan, never really got it. Sorry! <DMK> My bb's are the same way, hurt occassionally, sometimes worse then others, and sometimes not at all. I never got any m/s with ds, so we will see this time! <KATT> Good luck with your Ouija board predictions! <BL> Good luck with your bd'ing this week! Sending lots of baby dust your way! I do get very cranky when I am tired, and then I feel awful when I take it out on dh or ds... Feel much better today though, and am going to go to bed early tonight as well... after BB! <ROBYN> That is great!! Maybe this will be your month... But quintuplets?! Keeping my fingers crossed and lots of baby dust your way! <BL> I know what you mean about temping, but I have to admit, I got pg on my second month of temping, so I believe it works! But, it was a pain in the ass! <MELISSA> Great to hear from you! Good luck in the 2ww, you never know! I will keep you in my thoughts! And baby dust your way as well! Well, alot of us must be out and about today, having fun before back to work tomorrow! I will try to check back in before bed, but incase I fall asleep, talk to you in the morning! Hugs to everyone and BABY DUST TO ALL! :)

CMeliissa - they do a progesterone level check at CD21 to determine if I ovulated anything 10 and above they consider ovulation. I do not and would not have 5 kids. Sorry if that may offend anyone but there is no way we could take of 5 babies plus my son. I would have twins. But honestly not even thinking that at this point. Just happy that I was able to get that many follicles this month. If it doesnt happen at least I know that the Clomid and trigger shot are finally doing what the RE promised they would do.Also I think the IUI issue will be addressed next month. They said they are going to go more aggressive if it doesnt work this month.

Hi girls i have been real busy and have not had much time to get on here,df is having his foot surgery on tuesday and we have been trying to get extra money since he will be laid up for about 6wks or so.I hope everyone is doing good.And im hoping to see more bfp on this thread real soon.

Good evening ladies - I just got back into town and I'm doing a quick check in here. We went to Camano Island with some friends of ours this weekend. Its about 1.5 hours north of here so not a bad drive. We had a great time with them and hanging out at the beach. The only bummer was the beach was about 8 houses down from their cabin and down a steep incline. Not so bad for the way down but I felt like I had emphasyma (sp) on the way back up! My lungs are just gone at this point... Robyn- sounds like things are ready to go this month! Melissa - I'll be thinking of you here in your 2ww. Hello to everybody else! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I'll check in tomorrow. I have a doctors appointment in the afternoon. I'm on an every 3 weeks plan now because my blood pressure was up last time. My feet are quite swollen tonight so I'm a little nervous about my blood pressure. I just do not want to be put on any bed rest. I'd go crazy. Okay, I'm exhausted, but I had to catch up with all my ladies here. Love to you all...

Good morning! Well, I did fall asleep right after BB last night. I can't believe Janelle won again, she is a great player, but she drives me crazy! <ROBYN> I know what you mean, I don't know if I could have 5 more plus ds! Twins would even be difficult! <RHONDA> Great to hear from you! How have you been feeling? Let us know how df's surgery goes. <LESLIE> Sounds like you had a great time! I love going to the beach. Let us know how your appt goes. Well, time to get lunch made for ds and myself and then head off to work! Have a great day.

Hi girls. Sorry I didn't check in on Sunday, I had a particularly bad day. Clomid is making me an emotional wreck. On Saturday had a huge fight with dh on the way to the zoo, he blamed me for leaving driving directions at home. Of course it was my fault, I printe the directions and gave it to him and he put it on the counter and its MY fault. Sunday started out ok and then it went down hill really fast. It got even worse when I asked him to give me a break, because the medicine is making me nuts. What does he do? He started laughing at me. Of course at this point I am crying hysterically. I turned around and I said that I am tired and this is the last month of ttc. I will not take anymore drugs. I cant do it anymore. I really cant. He got kind of quiet after that, he realized I was serious. Anyway. Sorry. (((Robyn))), 5 follies WOW. Good luck. I totally agree with you about quints. Beside the financial strain there is something else to consider. I saw a show on TLC once about a girl who got pg with quints on 50mg Clomid. The babies were born at around 28 weeks. All of them have some sort of disability. Who needs that? Twins would be great for the simple reason that you wont have to do this again. TTC I mean. I will be thinking of you. GL Robyn. Melissa, Brooke good luck with the 2ww. Anyone else on 2ww good luck to you as well. I cant seem to concentrate on anything lately. Katt, I am glad that you had a good time, even if your guests left late. I am a rib expert. I only do babyback ribs and the trick is to boil them before grilling. Put the ribs into boiling water, and skim the top untill the water is clear. Add salt, peppercorn and bay leaf. As a matter of fact add any spice that you like. Boil for a bout 25-30 minutes. Take it out and put bbq sauce over them while they are still hot. And then they are ready to grill. You will always guerantee yourself ribs that will melt in your mouth :). Nicole, I went through my caffein withdrawal two weeks ago, when I switched to decaf. I am a 10 cup a day girl, so I had migraines for the first 5 days. Now I am ok. It was easier to quit my smokes then my coffee. By the way, I looked for the option on my space to add album and I cant find it. Cant figure out how to add my photos. LOL. Slow, mumps really do cause infertility in both men and women. It is not a joke. There is more to it then old wives tale. Kelley Rohnda Leslie Denise Nicole, how you girls feeling? Hellow to everyone else. Sorry about the long post. Love yas.

Tanya- Sorry about your hormones! It is so amazing what a women does and goes through to have a baby... Husbands are NOT very understanding at all. Maybe he laughed at ya because he thought you looked cute:)... You can come here and vent ANYTIME... Hang in there! BL- try not to get down this month. I know taking your temp can wear on ya after a while... I thought it was never going to happen and was thinking of giving up and then I got a bfp. It will happen!!!!! You did it before :)... That is awesome your dh has money put aside for your hsg. I can't wait till you have it done. Robyn- I loved your pictures! You looked so sexy at your wedding. Your eyes are so pretty! Your son looked very handsome. Twins would be fun! Five babies would be scary! Well, I will be home most of the day so I will check in later....
