Kim,
I'm glad you're feeling more cheerful today! I know I get down sometimes and feel like it is never going to happen for me. It's not fun...DH tries to reassure me and it just doesn't help at all. I'm just hoping you're feeling more positive and ready to try try again!

Temping is going ok..no AF yet...some spotting last night...a little pink...but she isn't here yet...I'm ready...my breasts are super tender and I'm ready to get AF over with!

Patrice,
I know what you mean about not being able to afford injectibles...the procedures alone are so expensive! I have hope for you! I won't tell you to be patient..I hate it when people say that to me...we can just say we understand and be a shoulder and support system when you need it! I hope your Valentine's Day is a super one!

Chamber,
I know what you mean..if the body is functioning normally, why hasn't anything happened yet? I share your frustration sweety! And I just don't understand! I have hopes for you! Don't give up!

Thank you all for positive/supportive comments! I do fell better today than I did yesterday or Tuesday. PMS just seems to make all the sadness worse!!

Patrice - I know how you are feeling and also have had moments of guilt about what I might be taking away from my husband. This week I broke down and told him that I feel that I am taking away the best thing in his life and he told me that I was the best thing in his life and I am here with him, so he is happy. I know it is hard to get over, but your husband feels the same way about you. It is just hard for us to get over as woman!

sooner - No I have not had an HSG before so that is why I am slightly stressing about it. Of course I keep telling myself that all of these procedures are well worth it. I am definitely going to suck down a few Advil before I go to the hospital. At least this procedure is covered by my insurance...woohoo!

chamber-Hope thos eveil PMS things go away soon. You're right about PMS making everything so much worse. ((hugs))

Btrflybeetle--Hi!

patrice-You know I've heard that song at least a dozen times and have never really paid attention to the words. Really puts things into perspective to see them in print.

tummy-Are you doing the same protcol this month?

kim-I did the same thing with little nursery items before I was even pregnant with DS. I bought a warm, adorable blanket and hung it up. Every morning I'd wake up, see it, and just feel optimistic. It was my "hope blanket". LOL.

bobbysgirl2005-Hope you guys have a great time this weekend!

sooner-are you guys feeling better?

Well, I didn't win the doppler but I'm gonna keep on looking. I'll let ya'll know if/when I buy one. I've been having the worst hormonal surges. DH is just beside himself trying to figure me out. I explained to him that the progesterone suppositories are morphing me into crazy woman, and he said, "Isn't that the truth!". LOL.

Coop16 · 02-14-2008, 05:54 PM

patrice – ((HUGS)) your message makes me sad! Just remember that we have to have valleys in life to make us appreciate the peaks. Keep trudging along girl!

keri – go for it! Gadgets are great to own!

bobbysgirl – I love Nashville, IN. It’s such a cute town. I hope you have a great weekend. We’re headed to Bowling Green, Ky.

chambergirl – the hsg is not that bad… take the drugs and relax. I took the day off work and made DH go with – then came home and slept all afternoon just cuz I could.

kim – retail therapy is so-named for a reason. Keep shopping!

I’m hoping to put off testing until Monday – cd31. As long as AF stays away, that is… DH may kill me first though – I keep pulling the HPT box out, then putting it back.

Tummy · 02-14-2008, 05:58 PM

Patrice -- wow, that song really does make an impact to see the lyrics written out. I'm sad that you're sad!

Kary05 -- yep, same protocol, one more time. If I O on the right date we can do another IUI. If it's a day later, we can't -- due to work scheduling issues! So hopefully my body cooperates and does what it's done the last 3 cycles. Anyway, this is the last time, and then I'm switching drs, and will see about adding a few injectables to the mix to get another follie or 2!

kary05 · 02-14-2008, 06:03 PM

Coop-Whenever you decide to test we'll be anxiously awaiting!

Tummy-Sounds like a good plan. I'm a big fan of doing the combo fem/injections. I seem to get 2 good follies every time whereas with the fem alone only one.

rach28 · 02-14-2008, 07:58 PM

Thanks for all your replies to my question. It helps to know that people have heard of taking it like that.

redheadedbanshee · 02-14-2008, 10:39 PM

Hey Ladies.

Just jumped off the plane and will try and catch up over the weekend. Kim as for growing my hair out I figured I might as well put my PN Vitamins to good use. The website is locksoflove.com if you want to check it out.

I do have to say DH had roses and chocolate covered strawberries sent to my hotel room yesterday and when I got home today he has champaign chilling and something is going on upstairs. Not sure what. Tomorrow he has sent another dozen roses and we have a date DS is staying with my parents.

I do give my DH quite a hard time since I am so driven and enjoy the rollercoaster of life. He prefers to play it safe. I keep tellin him he better jump on board cause being married to me is gonna be some kind of ride.

Cyclebuddy- Started a little nausia and bloating. still sore on my sides. I am not reading too much into this since I have had all this before.

Well better head up stairs. I hope he didn't buy something slinky I am too fat for that. Ugh.

Happy Valentines Day
Take Care!
Kelley

hudsonrybicki · 02-14-2008, 10:59 PM

Corey - Goodness...what is AF waiting for?!?!?!?!

Chamber - I hope your HSG goes well! I hope you have the same experience I did and that it isn't nearly as bad as you imagine.

Kary - Your DH sounds like such a good guy! I find it always helps my DH to keep perspective by reminding him that it is way worse to feel angry/sad/frustrated/crazy all at the same time than it is to deal with someone who is feeling that way. Why are you taking the progest. suppositories?

Becky - You can make it until Monday!!

Kelley - It sounds like DH was very romantic this year! I hope your upstairs surprise was good!

kary05 · 02-14-2008, 11:06 PM

Kim-I am taking the progesterone cuz I had a lot of luteal phase spotting last month. It's cheaper for me to do the suppositories then to pay for the P4.

Nighty night ladies. I'm signing out for the night.

gonzalezolaura · 02-15-2008, 12:16 AM

Hi Ladies Well I Am Just Waiting To O' . I Still Have Had No Symptoms With Femara Which Is Great. Well Like I Told Yall Last Month I Was Put On Byetta To Try To Help Me Lose Weight And It Did. I Lost 8lbs In A Month. I Don't Even Take It Everyday. The Doc Up My Dose To 10mg And Lowered My Met To 1000mg. Which Is Great. I Am Hoping I Continue To Lose Weight.
I Really Have Not Been Thinking Of Baby Making I Been To Busy With Painting My Restroom, Painting Stairway. But I Am Suppose To Ovuleat This Week Or Next Week. Today Is Cd13 Next Friday I Go In For My P4. I Am Praying I O' With Femara.
Well I Which All Of You Lost And Losts Of Baby Dust.

pookietooth · 02-15-2008, 02:32 AM

My temp went up yesterday, so I thought I might have O'd, but it was back down this morning. I stayed up a bit late last night, though, so maybe it will go back up again tomorrow if I don't stay up so late?

aleutianrunner · 02-15-2008, 03:52 AM

Hey ladies. Both ovaries are achy today and should be getting close to o in the next couple days.

hudsonrybicki · 02-15-2008, 02:51 PM

Kary - Did you have a choice between the suppositories and pills? I have heard of women taking both during their LP, and I am wondering if there is a difference.

Rayette - Go ovaries go!! I hope you O soon!

I am in that no man's land between AF and O...I can't decide if I like this more or less than the 2WW. I feel like the pre-O phase is a bit more tense for me this cycle since I don't know whether or not I am going to O again. I am really hoping it isn't a repeat of what happened on 5 mg.

AF came for a very short visit. I had two days of heavy flow and then virtually nothing...does that mean anything?

I hope you all are having a great day!

aleutianrunner · 02-16-2008, 01:23 AM

Kim-AF has been different for me since I started femera. She blows in heavy for a couple days and then light and gone in another 2 days. When I would normally spot forever and then finally start. Good luck this cycle.
