Steph ~ You sure you stored up your urine for I think it is 4 hours? I wish I could answer your yeastie question and I'm curious to see if there is some information regarding delaying O.

I am out again this month too, when will one of us catch a break?

Lauren if you get that job in Greenville and move there we will have to plan to meet somewhere one night. Have you ever been to Blue Ocean, I love that place. It would be nice to have someone close by to talk to sometimes who knows how I feel.

Another bummer too, Forrest goes back on the road starting Sunday night. Local work is not good with high fuel prices, he only worked one day last week and none so far this week. Got this offer and couldn't turn it down since he needs a paycheck.

Lauren~I'll keep my fingers crossed for that job! My friend is interviewing today too for a 5th grade teaching position.

Lisa~I totally agree with you there! I just don't get it. I feel very down and depressed today already like i'm going to burst into tears. I swear i'm having really early PMS! It just doesn't make sense to me!

Rebecca~I'm glad you and DH have another plan. That was interesting what your dr said about the Femara. I took that one cycle. I feel more comfortable with the clomid. Might as if I can take that next month. I only took 2 months of it. Maybe I should move onto an RE.......

I hope everyone has a good day! I can't believe its May already! Weather better start warming up soon!

Lauren - YAY for a good interview! I hope everything works out the way you hope.

Lisa - We're cycle buddies..... not that it's any consolation. Boo to Forrest having to go over the road again.

Deanna - I swallowed my first Clomid this morning. It makes me nervous. About the Femara, she did say that she knows that a lot of people have success with it for fertility, it's just her personal decision not to use it.

Hello all~
Just got back from the dr. All looks good. I *think* I start Lupron tonight. They are supposed to call me this afternoon.

Bec~ I hope you're feeling good about this cycle. I know it can be difficult to try something new.

Deanna~ Thank you!

Lisa~ OH, I wish I were that close! I am going to be in Greenville, NC though, not SC. Maybe next time we meet in Myrtle Beach, you could meet too?

Lauren - Right now, I'm kinda indifferent about it. We'll see how that changes in two more weeks.

Melissa ~ It's never mattered for me before! Which is what is making me nuts. I think sometimes yes, sometimes no; probably that one I did at midnight CD12 was NOT a 4hr save. But I think there is mixed opinions about whether to use FMU, not FMU, save up, not save up, etc. And here's the newest update...

Last night OPK @7:30pm - light line, about like the other light lines. No evidence of EWCM yet. This morning, 8am, BLAZING POSITIVE, very fast. I'm going to be REALLY interested to see what AF does this month... So, considering it likely began to surge sometime in the night/early morning, that would put O somewhere between middle of the night tonight (CD14, technically CD15 by then) to middle of the day CD15 tomorrow. Oompf. I'm considering getting another box (used the last one this morning), and keep going tonight and tomorrow.

Had a little thought last night; do y'all think my weight loss could have anything to do with this big 'reset' my cycle has been working on for the past 5 months? I was just thinking, a combination of the hormone balancing with the progesterone cream, the weight loss, getting healthier...maybe? I'm taking shots in the dark at this point, cause I have NO idea what's going on.

Oh, and Bec, I remember being nervous too wondering if I was going to feel myself turn into an alien or something. I don't remember (there's a symptoms thread around here somewhere) having much in the way of side effects, just a mild headache, I think about a week after the clomid, for a few months, and then that one migrane, and that was it. You'll be okay. If you turn into a crazy person, you won't know anyway.

LOL - Thanks Steph!

and Yes, I think your weight loss could definitely have something to do with your cycle changes - absolutely. Not only that, but the basic dietary changes that you have made could made a difference, too.

Oh, I didn't even think about that part. Did I ever tell you that I finally switched to the organic milk at the beginning of February? Organic 1%. Gosh, maybe all this changing of the past few months is a GOOD thing after all...I thought it was all from when I had 'screwed myself up' that one month I forgot the cream those few mornings. Huh.

No, you didn't tell me that - good girl!

Laura - Wow, yes thanks for posting that for me! I love Dr. Bronner's - use it every day! What's crazy is that I have used Kiss My Face and Jason products (though I don't any more). I was never crazy about the ingredients in Avalon Organics, so I stayed away from them and I would never buy Aveda - too many artificial fragrances and other crap.

Rac - I figured you would like that article. I have been buying kiss my face pure olive oil soap because I can get it on sale and it has a 0 rating on the cosmetic database. DH will actually use that, it smells like olive oil but the sent doesn't linger.

Lauren - I'm glad everything looked good at the doctor! I hope you land that job!

Lisa - Sorry about AF & Forest being on the road again.

Rebecca - I hope you have ZERO side effects from Clomid!

Steph - I watched some of the movie 'Georgia Rule' the other day, this one scene in a restaurant, Destiny from ROL II was the waitress! Totally blew me away!

Deanna - I hope your day gets better, I hate those moods!

I went to a nursery today, I'm so ready to be buying plants! We finally ripped out most of those old, nasty bushes that you have heard me complain about! I can't wait to get started on my yard. Next Friday will be 4 weeks since my last shot. HOPEFULLY AF will be visiting me soon! My sister is due next Wed. with her 3rd. I'm just waiting for the phone call then I'm heading up there! If she hasn't gone by Sunday then I'm just going to go up. Can't wait to meet my new niece or nephew!

Karyn ~ I've missed you. Glad to see all is well.

Rebecca ~ I've switched to organic milk too. Nonfat. Gives my stomach a little trouble but I only have two hours of feeling uncomfortable and then during my prep period I can toot away! I know, LOL, TMI.

RAC good luck this cycle to Brad and you, I have a good feeling this time around for you.

Steph I think weight loss has a lot to do with the changes going on with you.

Darn Lauren, but maybe one day we can all meet up, that would be great. Right now with the price of gas and Forrest having been out of work due to cut backs we will not be doing much traveling at all this summer. Everything went up but the pay. Ouch!

Kayrn, thanks, you are great going to be with your Sis. I worked in the yard last weekend and planted 2 flats of Zinnas and 2 flat of Vinca, plus 16 tomato plants, 4 yellow squash, 4 cucumber, 4 zucinni, 2 bell peppers and 2
