things are going good I guess. I am in my 2ww...we'll see. Classes started back so I am already feeling the pinch of that! Plus conference week starts on Tuesday, so that will be fun too~

Glad to see that your appt went well Carrie and that you are doing good Amber!

Mere, good luck with all that baby proofing your house! i am so excited for you.

Beth.. we are in the 2ww together!!! WHOOHOO (well, i am in the 2ww as long as my temp tomorrow is above 97.36... time will tell) GL with school.. i am sorry if you have said, but what are you taking? what is your major?

Amber, how are you! how is that baby of yours!!!

Carrie!! yay for HBs!!! that is so wonderful!! i bet that is good news to your heart! How are you feeling?

Hi Ladies,

I'm feeling somewhat relieved but the next five weeks can't go fast enough. I don't have any morning sickness, just some nausea from time to time. I'm still scared though.

Mere, did you figure out the temping thing, did your spotting stop?

Anna, I swear you O like clockwork, wish I had had that. I hope this is it for you. Then you can skip all of the testing and so can your husband. How are you feeling about this cycle. Have you used preseed? I know Amber used that when she got pregnant.

Amber, how's everything going for you. I saw your thread for owmen who won't find out the gender. I want to know but DH doesn't. I told him I'd consider it, but it might be my one and only child, if I want to know, I'll find out. I saw your post about it might being a girl. Those things aren't always accurate. When DH had his first kid, they were so sure it was going to be a boy that they charged him for a circumcision. Needless to say, he called and told them they cut way too much off because he brought home a little girl.
When will your baby shower be?

Hi Carrie.

Crazy huh? i am o'ing a lot earlier than i did when i was off bcps before too... it is crazy.. i o'd on CD13. Just rediculous. I did use preseed. We bd'ed on CD7, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14, and used preseed all those times. I am hoping this is our month. i am feeling really good about this cycle. I think i will try and wait until 14dpo to test this cycle... that is NEXT monday... (doesn't seem that far away... until i think about it!) i will keep you all updated on how that goes... keep stalking my chart...

I think it is great to not find out the sex of your baby (Carrie AND Amber). i couldn't do it though. i want to know already what i will be having when i get pg. lol! Dh wants to know too! I have a girl in one of my ff bgs and she doesn't have ms or anything. she says that she doesn't feel pg AT ALL! and her #'s are HIGH!!! i hope that you don't get any ms at all! Five weeks will FLY BY (by the time i am testing, you will only have 3 weeks left before 12 wks!)!! and, i have heard that the possiblities of anything bad happening after the hb can be seen drops to like 5%! How far are you? 7 weeks? you need a ticker... :-D!!

How is everyone else?

mereseeley · 01-18-2008, 01:44 PM

Carrie- Congrats on the good news!

As for me, well I am more confused than before. First I thought I was getting close to O, cause of CM. I only spotted that one day on CD14 then had some CM on 15, 16, and 17, then today woke up again to lite spotting again. Which is more than I had on CD14. Also my temp dropped big time today, so guess I am going to get AF soon.

All I can say is that I'm very frustrated with my body right now. I knew before that my cycles have been all over the place, but the last six months have been sort of regular, 28-30 day cycles. So now that I am trying to track it and figure out if I am O at all, the signs are goofy. So I guess I will just keep tracking away and continue with the rest of my doc apts over the next few months. And hope that something evens out over time. Thanks for letting me vent!

hey ladies,

just wanted to congratulate those that reported BFP and to report that I did as well in Dec.! For what it's worth, injections seems to have worked like a charm and good prayer!

buddy.

carriebabbie · 01-21-2008, 10:34 PM

congratulations Buddy and good luck. Are you do in August?

Mere, Braden is a little cutey pie. When does he turn 18?

Not long and he's completely yours. Are you adopting him alone or with your boyfriend? Why might he be moving away? Will you guys stay together?

Anna and Beth, how are things going?

Amber, how are you feeling?

Carrie

mereseeley · 01-21-2008, 10:59 PM

carriebabbie- Thank you! I will have him in my arms a week from today!!!! I am adopting him alone. How are you feeling?

My BF and I have been together off and on again over the past 2 1/2 years. We are both military and he is due to transfer April 09. This summer he will have to decide where he is going. As for me, I will be completly out of the military in March 08 and want to stay where I am at. I also will be starting a new career and leaving w/in the 1st year may be a problem. So I would not be leaving with him. (long distant relationships are tough.)

We are currently on the 3rd and final try to make it work. The reasons we broke up were related to his kids (14 yr old twin boys, living in TX, w/ his ex), him not wanting to do the baby thing again, not wanting to get married again (both of us), and other career related issues.

Now we have come to agreements on most of the issues and really do want it to work. (even when we were not together, we stayed best friends.) But the only thing we can't fix/control is the fact that he could have to leave next winter. So as we progress and make our relationship stronger, we will decide whether to do the baby thing. Although if we decide that he is not going to take part, I will be searching for a sperm donor.

Also if BFP happens between now and then. We will make the best of a long distance relationship. After so many years of it not happening for me, he understands, how much it would mean for me to have it happen. So it is more wait and see than anything.

Sorry if that is a little confusing, when I try explaining it to my mom, she just signs and gives up. She's still hoping that I will marry a doctor or lawyer!

bethie3379 · 01-22-2008, 11:24 AM

Buddy, congrats, that is exciting!! g/l~

Carrie, keep hangin in there! try to stay as relaxed as possible....

Anna, how are you feeling? Think you have any 'symptoms'?

Amber, how's it going?

Mere, it is getting so close to time for Braden to be home!! I know you are excited!

As for me, no news just yet...I poas tomorrow- so we'll see...I already have my meds set up for delivery though just in case. Maybe I'll be able to cancel my order...trying not to get my hopes up too much...I'll let y'all know...

ASMay · 01-22-2008, 11:33 PM

Hi ladies, i have to be quick... i am so confused about my chart... today, i am either 4dpo or 8dpo. i had some to drink on the first day of my REAL high temp... and i know that can affect temps... if i leave it in, o day changes to CD17, if i take it out (like it is now) o day stays on CD13... so what i am going to do is wait until my first 14dpo (or 10dpo) and test, and then, if no af or BFP, i am going to change my chart to the later o date, and then wait until the next 14dpo to test or AF... geez... UGH!

Carrie, buddy, Amber... 3 down... 3 to go!!!

Mere and Beth! how goes it!!!

I hope you are all well... sorry i can't talk, DH waits for some quality time!!!

bethie3379 · 01-23-2008, 08:31 AM

ok, well, just a quick update to let you know I got a BFN this am....oh, well, no big surprise there really...so now I can stop the progesterone, wait for AF, have my cd3 u/s and then give our 2nd IUI a go!

Hope everyone has a Happy Humpday!!!

ASMay · 01-23-2008, 02:39 PM

((((((((((BETH))))))))))... i am sorry... how many dpo's are you? could it be too early to tell? (((beth))) i hope this next cycle is your cycle! FX!!! GL!!!

bethie3379 · 01-23-2008, 02:48 PM

thanks for the hugs Anna!!! it will all work out...I feel so bad for DH though, b/c he tries so hard to be supportive and encouraging, but I can't seem to find a way to just relax about it and put it in God's hands....I have tried and tried...I just have to keep praying for peace, patience, and the ability to leave it in His hands....so difficult!!! I am pretty sure the hpt was right on- if I don't get AF over the weekend, I can always test again though.

carriebabbie · 01-23-2008, 09:02 PM

Beth, I'm sorry about your BFN. Having patience and peace, easier said than done. Think if it this will you, you will get a BFP and when you do, you can POAS for nine months straight and make up for lost time.

Anna, good luck with chart. It looked ok, but our bodies are amazingly sensitive to some changes.

Mere, I'm so excited for you to post pictures of Braden. Your relationship sounds complicated, but I've had some like that before. If you get a sperm donor, will you have to do shots and IUI?

Amber, how art thou?

Carrie

ASMay · 01-24-2008, 11:27 PM

Hello ladies... (just wanted to say hello... this cycle is going by so slow...)
