Jo-Your chart is looking good. Hope you get good results from the progesterone Monday.

Snowie-Sending you positive and sticky vibes. Hang in there girl.

Well the u/s went well. I need to remember I know my body and should have scheduled it for this day if they would have let me instead of stressing out trying to get a +OPK. I have a mature follie on the right at 23mm. The nurse said they like to see anything between 17-28mm so all looks good. We BD between 3am-7am tomorrow and I go back at 11am for the postcoital swab. If DH's swimmers are moving I'll get to see it in the mircoscope. Kind of cool. As of now I'm feeling pretty positive. Even if for some reason we don't have good swimmers in the CM I'm guessing worse case is the IUI to by pass the CM and put the swimmers as close as possible. We know DH had a good S/A so for now everything is looking normal again. But for some reason that really put my mind at ease. Not knowing if my follies were actualy growing or not has been a big concern for me. Now I think I might actualy be able to relaxe (that is for now)

A funny thing happened though while I was waiting.....a girl I know through DH and some other friends came in. It was kind of comical and we laughed. It was good to swap stories. They are trying for number 2 and she has issues with ovulating. She worked with a specialist last time but now switched to the one I'm using. Kind of funny we were both in there for an u/s. It also puts your mind at ease that even with issues it can be done. She said it took 3 years but it is possible.

The kids and I just got back from the book store. It was so nice to pick out new books and just sit and read. I love to read and during the school year and when the kids are here it seems like there is just no time for ME. Now that the kids are leaving on Sunday, I am planning to have some ME time.

OH, and my box of meds came this morning. Ouch. I am so worried. None of it makes any sense to me. It is overwhelming.

Oh Snowie~ My heart aches for you. IF has got to be one of the most emotionally painful things. I am so sorry. I hope you can get to a doctor who can give you answers and help you.

Heidi~ I am so happy you're feeling so positive and that the u/s went well! I am also glad you found out some friends are going through the same thing. I think it makes you feel more "normal" to know others are going through something similar. That is why this site is so great!

Roma~ My crossables are crossed for you.

Bets~ Sorry your interview didnt happen as planned!

Snowie, my Snowie, I'll be holding my breath. You do the breathing.

Bets ~ I wish I could say something to help you 'detox' from all this.

Danny and I have a "meeting" tonight to discuss everything -- putting life back together, etc. What 'the majors' are that we have to hammer out in order for us to coexist right now until we can each stablize a little bit. It's all scary. But it's a step.

Lauren ~ I think it was Sarah who said it helped her a lot to make a chart of instructions.

Snowie- just checking in on you. Any news?

Thank you girls.

I just got back from the dr and the on-call just took blood and asked me to come back for a repeat on Monday. She also did an u/s but of course, there's nothing to be seen.

I also took another test and the line is getting lighter, not darker. So as soon as it began, it's coming to an end.

Thank you all for being there for me.

Snowie - I wish you came back with better news. Keep us posted on the test results. This must be so hard for you.

I don't want to give you false hope if it's going to make everything harder, but I also want to say that putting everything on that line...well, it's very VERY early, and repeat testing throughout the day, getting further and further away from FMU...well, you know. {{{hugs}}}

Did the spotting continue, or what's the story with that?

Snowie-BIG HUGS. I'm sorry you have to go through this again possibly. But Steph is right it is very early and there might be hope yet.

snowie ((((hugs))))) When do you get the BETA results back?

Heidi - out of all the infertility stuff. The ultrasounds were my favorite. I felt so intune with my body knowing exactly what was going on with my follies. Plus that big wand inside didn't hurt either. :P Did they tell you what your uterus lining was? You will trip when you see the swimmers in the microscope...my DH's seemed like they were moving really fast so I bet your DH's will look like nascar racers.

Lauren - Do you have the mix your meds yourself? I just had one bottle that I had to mix and my hands were shaking so hard, finally Carlos ended up taking it. And as long as he ignored the needle he was fine. I was thinking about you today and my heart was just pounding for you. How are you? How is your DH? Now with the kids leaving soon you guys will have the IVF to focus on and it'll definately be the center of what you are doing the next few weeks. i think it's awesome you don't have school to stress over right now.

We are going dancing with friends tonight. And my son is going to hang out with his cousin who's now soooo cool cause he's away in College and is home for the summer.

I need to change my avatar...I have this cute doll one and she's on a strippers pole and it says baby dancing...it's very sexy. =) but I don't want to offend anyone...and I'm not really dancing for a baby anymore...but it's so cute.

Betsy-You're right about the wand not hurting It was probably one of the easiest things I've been through. It is awesome to know that anytime now that follie will be releasing. I wish I could go through this every month to get the timing right! I forgot to ask about the lining because I was so damn excited about the follie I couldn't believe it. It feels like a huge weight lifted off me. I will be able to ask the nurse tomorrow when we go. DH is going with me.....I think he wants to see his swimmers in action! I just hope they are swimming away towards that egg. Have fun dancing tonight.
