She wasn't hunched in a corner like she was hurting, she hadn't gotten sick or had any accidents, or any of that, she just laid down and went to sleep.

Yeah he knew what day it was, we talked, cried, talked about it being a lot for one day, etc. The past two days have actually been ok. Made a teeny bit of progress last night for the first time in weeks.

Good morning everyone.

I don't know the results of my b/w yet. I went late in the day to have it drawn. It will be back sometime today. Still no surge with me yet. Not even close Honestly, I hope it doesn't happen 'til Saturday, but does anything of TTC ever go according to when you want? Ughhh...

Lauren~ Maybe we'll have our IUI's on the same day

Steph~ Sorry about the cat.

Francine~ Do you chart? I would love to see your chart. Hope the IUI worked for you.

Okay, anyone else on Clomid have to pee all the time? It's so bizarre. I mean I have to pee every hour, and it's not just a little bit of pee, and it's clear. How am I not dehydrated? I also wake up like three times a night to pee.

Steph~ *hugs*

Gina~ Maybe! I am eager to go back tomorrow morning. I PRAY that that little follie has grown!!!

Christie~ I am happy to see you post! Little Charlie will be here soon! Post a new belly pic! I would love to see your bump grow!

Em~ I have not noticed that it makes me pee more... hmmm... right now I am just waiting on those INTENSE o pains that I get on Clomid.

Fran~ This is a GREAT place with lots of us going through the same things at the same time . Charting is using your basal body temp to determine when you ovulate, and help you learn about your cycle. How do you know when you ovulate?

Lauren you have another u/s tomorrow, right? Hope that lefty kept on growing!

I've worked out a BD plan and I'm sticking to it this month. DH and I will get it on consistently until about CD10, then take a day break to let him recoup, and then it's straight on through from CD11 through CD16 or my temp jump. I'm NOT going to waste this Clomid! I want to see "high" on my FF pregnancy analyzer!

__________________

Em~ Yes, I have another u/s tomorrow morning at 8:00! That is quite a bd plan! You and Bets can never get enough! The last time I got a "high" on my ff monitor I got a uti.

__________________

Lauren I went through a good two week period of getting no enjoyment from BDing whatsoever, so now that I've got my groove back, and I've dished out the $$ for this Clomid, I've got to take advantage of whatever time I can! And DH isn't complaining

__________________

Em~ I too pee a lot with the clomid. Unfortunately I've had almost all of the side effects from clomid while I was on it. I was still nauseous even up 'til yesterday.

So, I got my CD10 FSH results back. It was at 4.0 Just waiting on my LH surge. God I hope it doesn't happen 'til Saturday. My dad is coming tonight. I am so flippin' stressed about this timing

Okay, off to get my house cleaned. Oh heck, I have to get Marissa in a few. Just not enough hours in a day! Calgon! Take me away!!!

Francine~ Click on the www at the bottom of any of our posts and you can see how we chart with Fertility Friend. You tell which day O took place according to first morning temps.

Had a good conversation w/DH a bit ago (it actually started last night, but it was short then). In the midst, he asked me why -- why I haven't dropped him on his ass, why I would even talk to him, much less live in the same house and want to have a life. I don't know if I gave him much of an answer. I told him because I believe. He was given to me a long time ago, and that I don't give people back, and I don't give people away.

I told him that I know he's so tired...not sleepy tired, but soul-tired. I know he's confused. It really is like he's had some sort of mental break-down in the past few months. There's so much that's happened that he doesn't remember...so much anger toward me that doesn't make any sense, logic that is completely illogical.

I told him that what I thought of the past few years is that we've caused each other a lot of pain, but that it wasn't US, causing that pain to each other. Because I don't think there is one fiber in him that would want to hurt me. And that all I've ever wanted was to wrap myself around him and melt into him, and squeeze him so tight that there's no room left for old wounds.

We both have past pain -- my stories aren't like his, but pain is like a scale -- no matter what it's maximum capacity is, maxed out is still maxed out. That I don't think he's healed from one single thing that's happened to him since he was about 5 years old. And I told him that it's time to start getting better...not just him, but me too. Not from the past few years, but from this past entire life. It's time to start getting better. I asked him to repeat that to himself for the rest of the day, and that he has a right to get better, and to glance at the bible on his dashboard every time he repeats it, because that book literally says that he has a right to it.

I think I'm rambling now, but I wanted to get it out.

Hey girls-i just wanted to let you all know how my RE appointment went.
Ok, so fisrst of all , my tests showed i have low estrogen. My Hsg, showed that although my tubes are not blocked, they have kind of a weird shape.
During an ultrasound he found a 16mm follie, on my right ovary, totally out of place with my cycle.
He also said my lining is too thin, so even if i were to conceive, the baby couldn´t implant. ...

Thats just on my side.
Dhs S/A, turned out a little better, but he made some calculations, substracting those with low motility or no motility... and although he has 50 million count, of those 50, only 7 million are real good swimmmers.
So he put DH on a super treatment, that includes shots every 2 days, for 6 weeks.. poor dh is freaking out.
He also gave him more medicine, i dont remember their names, but the whole treatment will hopefully get his swimmers in top shape. We´ll see results in aprox 8 weeks.
As for me, he´s giving me 4 mediicnes too, one is something like clomid, one is to get my estrogen levels higher, some shots also... , i dont remeber what else.
Í´m happy cause i love my RE, you can tell he knows what hes doing, but a t the same time im overwhelmed, ill have to keep a calendar to remind me of both DHs and my medicine.
so, thaks for listening, i feel like i just rambled on and on and on...
wish me luckl.

Oh Mari, even though it wasn't the greatest of news, aren't you somewhat happy now to know you have some answers? Other than your appt getting delayed by a day he seems like a really good RE. I hope all this works out for you and DH so you can get your BFP. Hope the injections aren't too bad for DH once he starts them. Hopefully this will do the trick for you both.

__________________

Mary~ I am happy you got some answers! I am interested in what your meds are... Give us the list. Also, I am wondering how he can determine the thickness of your lining is too thin, on cd 4??? It wouldnt be built up until closer to your o time... unless maybe he thinks that 16mm follie will make you o soon?? That confused me.

Gina~ YAY for a clean house!!! I am waiting for my surge too. My lines have been really faint. Last month I got it on cd 14, which would be tomorrow, so maybe it will come then...

I am excited for my u/s tomorrow morning!

Lauren - is your DH going to this follic check too? I hope it's growing beautifully!!! And yes I can't get enough. I'm addicted to him.

Steph - Progress is a good thing. I'm hope it stays on that path.

Reg - Have you talked to your doctor about a possible weekend IUI? If mine falls on a weekend I have to go to an entirely different clinic. How long is your Dad in town for?

Fran- The majority of us are charters. Most of us have depended on each other to "figure" out what is going on with our bodies. What is your diagnoised infertility?

Christy - I still have your # programmed - waiting patiently to make that call to you!!!

Mari - Holy cow!! You had alot going on at that appt.

I got my vacation approved well kinda I had to beg my boss and tell him it was really important. One less thing to stress about. My ex & I are doing a suprise birthday party for our spouses on Saturday. Carlos' birthday is on the 9th and Jonathan's step mom's birthday is on the 8th. Trippy huh.

__________________

Lauren-Good luck today for the u/s. Hope that follie is stll growing strong.

Regina-Your time is coming. I hope it wokrs out for you and everything goes as planned.

Em-I haven't noticed a difference in peeing. I usually pee a lot around O time for some reason and again before AF starts.

Fran-Welcome. You can't get any better support than from this site!

I'm picking up a second dog tonight after work. My co-worker can't keep his dog any more at his condo so we decided to take her to give our dog a play mate. We've had them together before and they get along great. So we will have a full house! Nothing else new here. Just waiting to continue BD. I love not temping or OPK right now. I feel so much less stress!
