Lauren~ I would think they might want you to go in tomorrow for your trigger then Wednesday for your IUI. I'm wondering if an aspirin would help with the lining at this point? Either way, it's all looking good!

I have to go in today for b/w . They want to check my CD10 FSH.

__________________

Gina~ I hope your b/w goes well! My lining has been thicker in the past, but the nurse said it was "good." I already take a baby asprin every day to help with it...

Does anyone know how much your lining thickens each day???
I am hoping by cd 14 or 15 it will be much thicker...

Lauren - Thats GREAT news! I believe I read the lining thickens 1 to 2mm everyday. So I think you'll be in great shape come your IUI and even if it is a little thin, they can always give you Progesterone. Thats what they put me on cause my lining wasnt too great and my Progesterone was awful.

Betsy - Im sorry about AF but excited about your IUI schedule! So many ladies doing IUI this time its just great that theres a little support group you have here. Somebody (or all like the IVF girls) has to get a BFP in the end! I used to be NUTS about wrestling, its all I ever cared about back in high school. My brothers and I would watch it all the time and would always go to see it when they were in town. We went to Summer Slam in 03.. or 04... I forget which year it was but it was when they hosted it in San Jose.

Regina - Let us know how your bloodwork goes! Thats so adorable about you and Marissa getting pedi's together. So cute!

Emily - Glad you had a good weekend!

Have a great day ladies!

Cristina~ Thanks for being so positive for us all!

Mari~ I am happy to see you post!

Tammi~ Thanks for the dust! I'll take it!

I just got a message from the RE and they want me to keep up with the opks and go back Wednesday morning for another ultrasound. I am kind of surprised they want to wait that long, but I will trust them to do the right thing! I am a little too controlling. Maybe I will be ready after my u/s on Wednesday and I can trigger and have the iui on Thursday. That would be cd 15...

Hi everyone.

Lauren - I am so happy for you and your left follie(s)!

Regina - I hope the b/w comes back good.

Betsy - I'm glad you had fun with the wrestling (sp?)

Mari - I know that is frustrating but it sounds like your RE is really caring.....IMO the office staff at doctors is the worst part of it all.

Emily - I'm glad you had a good visit when your parents came. And it sounds like Juan had fun too.

Jo - Anabelle's birthday party looks like so much fun! I had a one year birthday party for my dog. She will turn 3 this 4th of july!

Rebecca - I hope everything is going well with you!

As for me, I have had HORRIBLE booby pain and cramping today. I have NO idea what part of my cycle I'm really in due to that strange 3 day bleeding episode. GRR! I am really ready to see the RE but school is sooo busy right now since they always cram everything into the last 3 weeks. I am nervous about the vaginal wand for the u/s too. I'm delicate, LOL!

Kayla- sorry things have been so hectic! I hope you get things figured out soon.

Rac- If you want the recipe for Annabelle's cake just let me know. It is pet and human friendly. It was actually pretty good. It is safe for dogs to eat, but the frosting recipe I had tasted like caca, so I put regular people-frosting on it and let Annabelle have hers without any frosting. The little monogramed bites were also pet friendly. They are just honey and peanut butter. I had everyone bring donations of dog food for the local SPCA as a gift, but Annabelle still got about 5 new toys from friends and family. We had a great time. My sister said, "I was waiting for you to make an announcement..." That's one of the bad things about telling people you are trying, they are always thinking if you want to get together it is to make THE announcement.

Jo - I would love the recipes! Will you pm them to me?? That would be awesome!

Good morning all~
Only 3 more days until SPRING BREAK!!! I am so happy! Everyone at school has Spring Fever and is getting so antsy. Nothing new to report here. No surge, or temp spike, for me yet. Tomorrow morning is another ultrasound.

Roma~ I feel the same way! Everytime I call someone or we have a family event, I feel like everyone is WAITING for an announcement from us. OH the pressure!

Kayla~I remember when I first started going to the obgyn for checkups, or even when I went for yearly exams I was always a bit anxious. Now when I go for my follie checks, vaginal u/s, IUI's, etc I dont even think about it! You will be fine!

Mari~ Sorry about the run-around with your appt! I am eager to see how it goes today!

Bets~ I can't see the blinkie at work, but I will check it out tonight. Thanks for thinking of us!!!

Gina~ How was your b/w?
