I can hardly believe that it is already April 2007. Let's hope those April Showers are of Baby Dust!

Good morning girls! YAY for SPRING and APRIL! The beautiful weather makes me feel so much better!

DH and the kids should be back today around 3:00. The kids will only have a few hours at home before they have to go back to their mom's house, which makes me sad. I am looking forward to Spring Break and having time with them. We're going to take them to visit my mom in Myrtle Beach, SC for about 5 days.

Buffett~ I am happy to hear you're doing ok with the Clomid!

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!!!

Officially on day 1......the start of being right on schedule this month. God please let me O on day 12.

Heidi - Here is a wrestlemania blinkie I found... I went to the very first Wrestlemania in 1985 and have been hooked ever since. I'm sure no one thought that there would a Wrestlemania 23. I went with my Dad when I was 13 years old. I swear to you I was probably the only girl in a mass of thousands of men. I saw Andre the Giant, Roddy piper and Hulk Hogan. I've been to many many concerts, baseball games, boxing events etc in my lifetime....but nothing has duplicated the electricity I felt that day. I have tried desperately the last few years to get tickets to a live event again and they sell out so quick and the ticket places then rape you. But hopefully I'll be able to take Jonathan one day. How fun to have it in your area!. Well have fun tonight with your testasterone.

Bets~ It is perfect! Thanks for thinking of us!

Gina~ OH... I hope we ALL have good luck!

I am really antsy about my u/s tomorrow morning! I have been thinking about it ALL DAY! I told dh it will be REALLY hard for me if there isn't anything on the left. SO, he is going to take off of work in the morning to go with me. Last time he wasn't with me, and I cried the whole way home. I am SO HOPEFUL this month... which kind of sucks, because then the let down is so much worse.

Hope everyone has had a nice Sunday! I made a breakfast casserole this morning and put it in the fridge for dinner tonight. It is dh's favorite, so I am cooking it now. YUM.

I am having some serious HOT FLASHES today!!!

Lauren~ I will be keeping you in my prayers that your follies on the left are more dominant and that is where you will O from.

We had such a nice day today. The weather was perfect and we went to brunch at iHop. I love that place. Marissa and me went shopping after that and since we had a busy afternoon shopping we both got pedicures. She also got a manicure b/c she wanted her finger nails to match her toes. She picked out a gold color this time. Last time she picked out blue I so love having my feet soaking in the warm water and having my back massaged by those massaging chairs I think I'm ready for a nap now.

** Baby dust for this month**
One of the girls in my FF buddy group got her BFP yesterday. She is 35+, her husband has low morphology, she was on 100mg clomid and had IUI.
It definately is possible.

Oh Tracey. That is such good news! Thank you for sharing. I really needed to hear that. Gives me a little more hope

Lauren good luck today. I hope your body behaves this month!!!

REgina - how cute getting mani's and pedi's. I love that. I've dragged Jonathan with me when he was younger. He hated me for it having to sit there and wait. Now he can stay home with Carlos.

Last night was crazy. Wrestlemania was a blast. Very tired today. Now I have to go to work and pay some bets.

I didn't cry when I got AF yesterday. Guess I was so relieved it was on schedule to move on with the IUI>

Rebecca - Jen, Mari - how are my March cycle sisters?

Besty-DH went to Wrestlemania 3 the last time it was in Detroit. He also remembers it being pretty cool. I grew up watching it with my brother and some how have dated guys and now married DH who all have watched it.

Lauren-Good luck today with the follie check. Hope there are big ones growing on the open side!

Lauren, good luck at the u/s. Hope you get some good news!

Snowie, I am so happy to see you posting. You've been through so much lately, I can understand how TTC is not your number one priority.

Well my folks were here for the weekend and we had a really nice time. It was beautiful weather. My parents went a little crazy with birthday presents though. They completely redid my patio with a new BBQ, table/umbrella and chair set. Then they gave me money for NYC next weekend. They really good parents. Sometimes I worry that I won't ever be able to do that stuff for my kids, if my body ever decides to let me have some.

Today is day 4 of clomid. I'm really hoping this is my last month needing to take it. I think the only major side effect I get (besides that weird O thing) is hot flashes and night sweats. I wake up drenched.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Hi Friends~
Just got back from my u/s and I have one good size follie on my left!
Lining= 8mm
Left= 17mm
Right= 13.5mm, 13.5mm, 11.5mm

My right is definitely the dominant side for me, because I always have more on that side, but I was happy to have the largest on my left! SO, I am waiting to hear back from the RE about when they want me to come back for another u/s or the iui.

Em~ WOW! That sounds great! How fun to have a new patio set up!

Buffett~ Thank you!

Bets~ Sorry about af, but I am happy you are ready to move on with your next iui!!!

Gina~ HOW FUN! Sid loves ot get pedicures too, but she is so ticklish it never works out too well.

__________________

Lauren - That is awesome. Wow that's a pretty decent sized follie for this early in your cycle....I wonder if you'll O earlier than usual this month. Do you take your OPk multiple times in a day?

I need to remember to go pick up my digital OPK's... This weekend for sure.

Em - you got spoiled, that is so awesome. Enjoy your patio set. How were things with Juan this weekend?

I hate Mondays, after spending the whole weekend with Carlos it's so hard to say bye in the mornings.

__________________

Oh Lauren~ I'm so happy that your left side has the bigger follie. Lets just hope it stays that way for your IUI. All is looking good for you and I have my hopes up for you! How big does the follie have to be before it is ready for the IUI? I know the lining has to be 10mm for the egg to implant.

Betsy~ Sorry about AF, but I too am glad you're are looking forward to this cycle. I hope your body cooperates with you. Maybe with all of our prayers, it will. Glad you enjoyed Wrestlemanie!

Lauren-That is GREAT. Hope you get everything set up for the iui!

Betsy-Sorry to hear about Af but at least everything is still like clockwork. Here's to your iui as well!

Em-I too have been having night sweats pretty bad from the clomid. I'm sleeping in only a t-shirt and undies because I'm getting so hot!

__________________

Yay Lauren! I'm so happy to hear your left side is cooperating this month. That's really wonderful news.

Buffett, I usually sleep in a camisole and undies, but even THAT is too hot for me so now i'm sleeping au natural I have to push DH off of me in the night because he's a cuddler, but his body heat overwhelms me.

Betsy, things were actually very good with Juan this weekend. He was around most of the time and BBQ'd with us both Friday and Saturday nights, though he worked on Sat. Last night we all went out to dinner, and afterwards he told me that he really liked spending time with my family. I thought that was great
