The Official TTC for 6 Months or More Thread

Brightspot So sorry to hear you are still feeling discomfort. I guess a check in with the doc couldn't hurt? I was totally freaked out about ohss but after my doc reassured me that he's never had any patients my age with it, I felt better, lol. One plus for being old. haha. Isn't it so nice to be done the shots? Today is my "rest" day from shots, lol. I think after transfer they start again with progesterone in oil? I had dh give me my shot last night and it went fine. It was nice to have his support, kwim? Hope you have some great distractions during the 2ww. Any more travel for work? You have a vacay coming up right? that should be fun to dream about! Hope you are feeling fine soon and thanks so much for the support :)

Tammy I found that docs blog a while back. It's a good read. How are you? I'm sure things are very busy. Let us know how things are going. It's getting close to Aug so that will be nice to get to your appt?

Ltl Hope you are doing ok and that your party was fun. We are here for you. Do you know what your next plan is? Sorry I can't remember right now?

Bella It will be so nice to get the surgery out of the way. you will be in my thoughts this week. Keep us updated when you can.

Jen Haven't seen you for a few days. Hope everything is going fine with your retrieval (I lost track of where you were in your cycle).

Thanks to all the ladies checking in and sending baby dust- much appreciated :) If I missed anyone I'm hoping you are well and that we could all move closer to not needing this thread.

AFM I got confused on Saturday when I said the retrieval would be moved up- I thought the doc meant two days, he only meant one, and anyway he changed his mind when he saw sunday's u/s. I guess maybe the follicles were catching up and the lead follicle slowed down? It's hard to really take in everything. Yesterday I started worrying about ovulating before retrieval- of course I googled it and saw that it does happen but i guess it's not that frequent. I'm really trying to put my faith in the doctor and his experience. I believe he knows what the right plan is...and yet its hard. I took my trigger shot last night and retrieval will be 36 hours after that (Wed morning). Keep my in your thoughts guys that we get lots of healthy eggs.
 
Hi everyone. First off all, thank you Dreamer, Tammy, and JGator and everyone else for the kind words. Kind of hard to talk about this in real life because I don't have any friends going through it.

Bright - I really hope this is it for you. I know this is the frustrating part, waiting to see if it worked. I hope the pain improves, and I am really hoping that it does not look like OHSS. But I think that is why they monitor you so closely, to prevent that?

Pave - I am glad you have some good follicles. I would not worried about being moved up. I have never been on the meds you are on, but I tend to be a "quick responder" to the meds and have been on the early side. Think of it this way, you don't want those eggs to release on their own...

Lalia - I was thinking about you the other day. I am really hoping this is it for me. I still don't know why nothing is working with everything going so "textbook." The CM is an issue, so I am glad these will be better.

Bella - I am really hoping your surgery goes well!

AFM - I am CD 1 today. AF kind of snuck up on me, I only had 1 day of spotting instead of the normal two, but it was 3 days late which was not nice. I have my first apt on Thursday (AF came at about 3 which the nurse stated was late enough in the day to push until Thrusday). The injectables come in tomorrow. I don't remember the name of them, but I think they are an FSH/LH combo. I am also getting my HCG shot with the package. Pave, I am working in a small town and just got a job in the greater San Antonio area, which is about 3 hours from my current location (I don't want to say my current location because it would be easy to figure out who I am). My doctor is in the San Antonio area, but my insurance might change which will be a problem is this cycle fails. And yes my party was fun.

My internet will be spotty in San Antonio for while, so I might go MIA again or write short posts on my phone. But I will be thinking of all of you.
 
thanks ladies, I am exhausted (the first day back in the office from vacation SUCKS!). I went to the hospital today for the pre-op stuff, blah blah blah...got a little freaked out when they said that I would be in the OR for about an hour and half, I've just been telling myself that this is a little no big deal thing, there's not even an incision since they go through the cervix...the anesthesia "Warnings" and consents and the hour and a half in the OR comment, made it seem a lot more real. I'm sure it will be fine and then it will be out, YAY!

DD-the Dr said that for it to be this big, it's probably been there for a few years. it allegedly was not there about 5 years ago when I had a hysterogram with saline for a random, one time prolonged bleeding episode...but...I hated that radiologist [he was an idiot and had a horrible beside manner] and would not at all be surprised if he just missed it. My Dr now is very low-key about this probably not impacting fertility, but it seems to be something that many other fertility drs think it can have a significant impact (including the one on the blog that Tammy linked)...so, yes, it might have a positive impact on fertility. We'll see...

Lt-hope that San Antonio is a great temporary move for you and that this cycle is great.

Bright-Hope that you feel better soon...for a great reason:-)!
 
Bella, glad to hear your procedure is over, and at a minimum, I hope this helps regulate your cycles. But hopefully it will do even more and help you get a BFP!

Firecracker, sorry to hear you had another BFN. Wishing you lots of luck that the injectables are more effective for you. I tried two cycles of just clomid, which didn't work for me, but I got pregnant the next cycle with clomid and IUI. I know you have done your research and read studies on all of this, but for me, the IUI did the trick. Just something to consider if you need a little extra boost beyond the fertility meds.

Bright, lots of dust headed your way that a healthy little embryo is growing right now! I'll be thinking of you the next couple of weeks! Hoping you are feeling better and less uncomfortable too.

Hi to everyone else! As always, sending lots of good thoughts your way!
 
Hi Ladies,

Ugh I'm so out of touch with things, I'm sorry! :(( If I miss anyone, please forgive me! I have just a few minutes, seems to be a recurring theme with me. :rolleyes: I have to admit, that blog consumes a good bit of my phone browsing time. I'm glad that it's well received here, it sure beats doing web searches and sifting through posts filled with "u" instead of "you" type of questions/responses. :knockout:

Bright, how are you feeling today? I hope the pain is subsiding and as MP said, you have a healthy little bean growing away in there! I'm praying for you!! :))

Ltl, big hugs. Even when you KNOW that AF is coming, it still sucks to have the absolute confirmation that it's on to the next cycle. :(sad I really hope that the injectable cycle is the push that your body needs! I didn't know you weren't doing an IUI, I guess I assumed they were co-dependent but it makes a lot of sense that it wouldn't be necessary. I think MP does have a good point though to get as many of the little guys to the right place ASAP. I don't even pretend to be an expert about all of this though, so please forgive me if I say anything ignorant.

Pave, much dust and prayers! It's tough that we need assistance, but really exciting to see everyone has a proactive plan in place. Am I the only one that's not doing IVF/IUI/Medicated cycles yet? I'm hoping that by next month I can join you all, or better yet, follow you over to the JBP thread. ;))

Bella, I really hope that the polyp removal gets your fertility kick started and you get out of here super fast! Good luck!!! :bigsmile:

Jen, hope you're doing well and excited about your big cycle coming up, I hope this is the only one you need!!! Have I missed anyone? We're small, but it'd be nice to have a little weekly or monthly "where are we all at in our cycle" type of thing. I'm just not sure how it'd work within our thread.

AFM: Eh! That two letter not really a word word really sums up where I'm at, lol. I'm hovering at 6lbs lost and hoping to lose more this week. So that's good. The job front is frustrating, no movement at all other than endless applications that haven't lead to any call backs. DH still loves his job and has started to settle in and I *love* that he's home in the evenings now, so that's a huge positive! My ex is supposed to sign the stipulation today to make it official that DH and I have physical custody of the girls, which is a huge source of anxiety that I can't wait to be rid of! What else? Anything else? I do have a question actually! Does anyone else spot for several days after their period? I have noticed lately that it's just dragging on and I'm wondering if it might have anything to do with my infertility issues. I will bleed "for real" for 3-4 days, then it just spot spot spot spot for an additional 4-5 days. I'm on CD 8 and it's still lingering, argh! I'm really looking forward to my August 1st appointment, praying that it isn't a waste of time like all of the other ones have been! :wacko:
 
Tammy, I'm a spotter...for 2-4 days (at one point it started at 8 DPO like clockwork) before my period and 2-4 days after. Yuck. My doc was never concerned but it may be worth mentioning. I think the before period spotting is more worrisome.
 
Tammy, just a quick note to say that you should look up tail end brown bleeding (TEBB). I did not personally experience that (I usually spotted before AF), but I remember reading about it when I was desperate for answers. Not sure if that is what you are experiencing, but I remember that it is possibly caused by an infection, and one of the treatments is to have both partners use antibiotics. Good luck with the job search. Hoping the right thing comes along soon. And I'm glad that you are also close to sorting out your custody issues. Sounds like everything is starting to fall in place.

I ran off to read, and wow I guess I do need to bring this up at my appointment and ask for some tests! :errrr: Thank you SO much, MP!!! I didn't know what it was called, but I definitely have it.
 
Pupp & lc, thank you so much for checking on me & sending me good vibes. You guys made me smile & I really appreciate that. Hope you & your little ones are well!

Pave, it's definitely nice to be finished with the injections. Unfortunately I'm not feeling better & have been playing phone tag with the RE's office. I'm having a hard
time determining if I just have to wait it out or if treatment of some sort could help. 
I'm old too but I also have pcos, which seems to increase the risk of ohss. 
I'm glad your dh can give you the injections. Are the progesterone ones painful? How long do you have to take them? 
Good luck at your retrieval! I hope it's smooth & easy & yields lots of healthy eggs. Hoping you have a super sticky bean(s) soon!
And yes I do have a vacation coming but not until the end of august. Nothing major until then. What about you? Any fun travel plans?

Jen, if you're around, did the doc do anything for your ohss? Did you gain weight or have a very swollen abdomen? Did everything completely resolve after 5 days? I hope so!!
Also, how are things going in your cycle now? Are you doing a retrieval soon? Sending lots of dust for more good embryos & a sticky bfp this fall. 

Ltl, regarding monitoring, I had
to be out of town in the middle of stimmimg so, while they usually monitor every 2-3 days, I went 4 days. They did lower my dose before I left to hopefully prevent overstimulation but maybe I just responded too well. The response on the first u/s didn't seem too high but once I got back from the trip it had
kicked into high gear. I hope this resolves soon. 
I'm so sorry your af arrived. I'm glad you're at the ready for the injectable cycle though & hope this does the trick. Will you do iui or timed bd?
How are things going with the move? I so hope everything falls into place
for you on all fronts soon. 

Bella, thanks. I'm hoping for good news too but a little scared as I've read things can get worse with pregnancy (hcg stimulating the ovaries). 
Hearing the specifics of the procedure & signing those consent forms can definitely freak a girl
out. Hugs to you. That's great that there's no incision though. I'm sure it'll be ok & hope it will have a positive impact on fertility too. When are you having it done? Also I hope you had a great vacation!

Mp, thanks, dear. I'm trying to stay positive about all of this but
some days are better than others. I do like thinking that maybe there's already an embryo growing though. You made me smile. 


Tammy, thanks again for linking that blog. What great info written in an easy to understand & compassionate way.  I hate to
admit how much of it I've read
already. 
Thanks for your prayers. 
Congrats on your weight loss. Did you send it to me? Heh. 
I'm glad your dh is still loving his job & that you 2 have more time together but sorry you haven't had luck in your job search yet. Sometimes these things take a while. I hope you find a great new position soon! That's great that the custody issue is almost resolved! What a relief!
As for spotting, that's annoying! I've had long bouts of spotting after both of my first post-mc af's. I didn't really have this problem before. 
You should definitely ask your doc about it at your appointment. 

Hm. TEBB. Will have to investigate further myself too. Gosh, I hope I don't have an infection. 

Afm,  I'm still feeling gross with a painful & distended abdomen.  I also weighed myself last night for the first time since may & found I have gained 5lbs. Not what I wanted to
see for sure. I don't know how much of it has to do with the hormones or possible ohss vs decreased gym activity (also dictated by current condition plus tennis elbow) or a bit
of comfort eating, but it really didn't help my mood. I wish I'd weighed myself before this cycle so I had a better sense of things. I had a bit of a breakdown & cried last night. It just seems like I'm smacked down at every turn lately. I guess I can now add my waistline to the mounting casualty list of pcos/infertility. 

Sorry for the negative Nellie post. Thanks for letting me vent. 
 
MP - I thought of asking for an IUI this cycle, but some lurking on other forms and found lots of couples who's doctor took a similar approach to mine and had successful outcomes. Even on injectables. They all said the something my doctor said, if the counts are good, it will not help. It is saving me a ton of money to do this approach. I am really glad the IUI worked for you, and I may consider trying it once before IVF, but I remember when I did my infertility rotation, I saw a ton of IUIs fail, so I know they are not a magic fix for everyone. I am really thinking I have some sort of minor problem with ovulation, especially since I clomid has failed with follicles on the right and left ovary. I still don't know the status of the right tube, but last cycle was left ovary dominate and I still had no luck. I think if this cycle fails, I am going to stop for a few months (the new job is driving that more than me getting frustrated), and consider taking a step back and deciding weather or not to continue with intervention or ask for further investigation as to why I am not making a baby.

Tammy - I spot too. AF is usually only full flow for 2 days for me. I have spotting about 2 days before and 3 days after. I am not really worried about it too much. I am personally not worried about infection in myself. Congrats on the weight loss, and I am glad you are getting everything worked out with your children.

Bright - I am sorry about how you are feeling. When is the last time you weighed yourself? Are you still having abdominal pain? I am not trying to worry you, but I would check your weight over the next few days to ensure it is not increasing even more. If it is I would call your doc. My husband has a tennis elbow, and has not been able to lift weights for weeks, so I know that is hard. I hope that your week gets better. Don't worry about being negative, I am in one of those moods too, I think everyone here understands.

Bella - I am so glad your surgery went well. I am not sure how big it was, but my guess if that it is big enough to inter fear with implantation, than it may impact your fertility. But for you (based on what you have said) it sounds like some other stuff is going on. I hope your recovery is going well. Yes, we eventually want to come back to CA, but San Antonio is a great place for now. DH's career has really progressed since we moved to Texas.


AFM - I think my RE clinic hates me now. I was kind of a mean patient today. My meds were supposed to be delivered today and I got a call last night that the authorization was incomplete not signed by the doctor so they were not approved. I am leaving tomorrow. After about 3 phone calls to the clinic, I finally convinced the nurse to call in the authorization to speed it up. She kept telling me not to worry because they have "loaners" but I want to ensure my meds are delivered before I move. From what I understand, after about 6 phone calls they are coming tomorrow. Just in time. I like my doctor, but the nurse is just a flake. I seriously considered changing doctors today after that. My husband tells me I have the right to get upset, but I know I could have been a little nicer and not have freaked out so much. We will see how things go on Thrusday.
 
thanks ladies, my surgery is tomorrow morning, so I'll keep you posted.
 
Oops, sorry I mid read your post....
 
Bella, thinking of you today. Hope everything goes well. Lots of dust that recovery will be easy and pain-free

Bright, hugs my friend! Go easy on yourself (easier said than done, I know). You're allowed to have a down day every now and then, and PS is a great community to vent to. Just know you have a lot of friends here that are giving you that big virtual hug when you need it. <<<HUUUUUG>>>
 
Bella, good luck today with your procedure.

Bright, don't beat yourself up too much about the weight gain. I gained about 10 pounds from the time I got pregnant in August until my next pregnancy in February. With the Crinone during the pregnancy and one other TTC RE cycle, ice cream eating post MC, and then 3 rounds of Clomid after that, I know why I gained the weight. I wish I weighed less, but circumstances sometimes get in the way. You are definitely not alone. Also, yours may be temporary bloating related to your latest procedure. I'm not into the bump shots for numerous reasons. We took one (the only one) last weekend to send to my mom who lives in another state, but I am not comfortable posting pictures of me on the internet - maybe if I hadn't gained those 10 lbs previously! Hope this is it for you. When do you go in for a beta? Next week? Fingers crossed.

Firecracker, good luck with your move. Your RE is in San Antonio right? If they keep messing things up, you might want to move to a new RE. The office staff really makes a difference - I have found. I never had a problem with my RE, but I switched OBs due to an annoying office/nursing staff who also delayed Rxes and blood test results.

Tammy, yay for weight loss and the custody agreement. I hope these accomplishments remove some of the stress/anxiety in your life. You have a lot going on. It is hard to make so many changes all at once. I'm sure the job front will pick up. I think you are moving to an area with a good economy so that's something in your favor. Also, things might pick up in September. I know a lot of hiring managers are out on vacation in the July/August time frame. It's good to keep applying, but you may not get an interview or offer till things get into a regular routine again after the summer is over.
 
Another fly by post!

The TEBB doesn't always stem from infection apparently. From what Dr. Google says, it can be a number of things such as a type of endo, a progesterone issue or totally benign. I did have a c/s with my girls, so the risk of a low lying infection or the type of endo that can cause it are higher for me. So I'm going to press on this. I could see 2-3 days, but I'm STILL having it and my official bleed stopped on Friday. So this makes day 5. I've had it up until getting EWCM a couple of months, I've just figured it was because I was getting back to normal or something, but I'm ready to stop ignoring it.

Bella, thinking of you today! Rest easy and speedy recovery! I'm glad they won't have to do an external incision so no scar.

Ltl, I'm sorry that everything is so hectic in life right now and the nurse is making you crazy! I hate that!! :errrr: You mentioned not knowing the status of your right tube. Did you already have an HSG?

Bright, I wish that you could catch a break!!! ;( I'm SURE that the weight is temporary and likely linked to all your possible OHSS. I can imagine all the swelling and tenderness adds a good bit of fluid. Now isn't the time to worry about a couple of pounds. :)) Big hugs and I really do hope that the pain subsides and absolutely hope that you're finally rewarded with your sticky little baby!

Hi to everyone else! I better get back to work, I wish I had more time! :|
 
Hi ladies, just got back from the hospital. thank you so much for all your kind wishes! I am crampy and tired, but basically feel fine. Apparently when they went in, they saw the stalk from the polyp, but not the polyp and then it turned out that my uterine lining was way, way thicker than expected so they removed the polyp stalk and then a lot more tissue, basically a full D&C...pathology should be in on Fri or Mon, but the Dr said my tissue looked normal there was just a lot of it. So, I'll keep you posted, right now I am eating something and then going to sleep:-)
 
Bella, glad to hear the procedure is actually over now. (I thought it was earlier this week for some reason.) Interesting about the thicker lining. Maybe clearing everything out will help regulate you again. Hoping you hear good news about the pathology, which I'm sure you will.
 
Bella, so glad to hear that they were able to get the stalk (from what I've read that's important, right?) and everything cleaned out! Here's to a speedy recovery and hopefully a bfp in your very near future! :bigsmile:

AFM: Ladies, a shameful beg for prayers, dust, whatever you want to throw my way. I have two interviews scheduled for next week. One is a job that I would LOVE to have, the other I'm sure I could learn to love. The one I REALLY want is on Monday afternoon, which is DH's birthday too. Here's hoping, right?! I'm a nervous wreck! :errrr: haha In other really exciting news (to me at least!) I just dropped off the notarized paperwork to my attorney that will solidify our custody changes. There isn't a happy enough emote to express how awesome that is, so excited right now!!!! :sun: Next week is going to be CRAZY! Monday we have the interview/DH birthday, Tuesday I have the other interview (unless they put me to Thursday) and Wed. I have my fertility appointment. EEEK!! ::)
 
Bella I am glad it went well! Finger's crossed it jump starts a new chapter!

LTL: I know its off topic, but you are around here and I want to know, will you be living with your hubby once you move??
 
Bella, I'm so glad everything went smoothly with the procedure. I'm glad they got the polyp & stalk & maybe the clean out will be helpful too. How are you feeling? I hope you can take it easy a bit during your recovery. Were you able to take some time off work?

Tammy, I've had the tebb linger until ewcm the last 2 cycles too. I figured it was just the first post-mc af being weird but maybe it could be an infection or something else. Definitely worth asking about. Do you usually have this or only during some cycles?
That's wonderful news about your custody agreement!
Sending you tons of prayers & dust that your big week next week brings
lots of good things on multiple fronts. 

Jgator, thanks for your kind post. Between all of the drugs & a bit
of emotional eating it's hard to pinpoint what's going on. I guess there's only so much I can do in these less than ideal circumstances. I'll try to be kinder to myself. 
I hear ya on posting pics of yourself on the Internet (& belly pics no less!) I'm sure you look great, though & hope you're still feeling well. 

Ltl, yeah I was mostly concerned about the weight gain from an ohss standpoint. (Not that any girl ever welcomes weight gain...) The last time I weighed
myself was back in May, so not very scientific. I really hope it's resolving soon. 
I'm sorry for the mix up with the meds & your clinic's office. How frustrating! Docs really should be on top of this, especially since it's so time sensitive, not to mention such a
stressful time. I'm glad it was straightened out in time. 
How are the injections treating you? Here's hoping for no side effects & a bfp in a few weeks. Hope your hubby's elbow is better too!

Lc, thanks for your sweet post & virtual hug. What would I do without you guys?
Hope you & your little one are well. 

Hi to everyone else & happy Friday!

Afm, I finally spoke to the nurse the other day. She wanted me to monitor my weight & abdominal measurements to see if there was a
sharp increase in either over the course of a day. So, this is really weird-I've been weighing myself twice a day & it seems I gain around 2 lbs during the course of the day, then lose it overnight. Good thing I'm not I'm a practice of weighing myself multiple times a day or I'd go crazy(crazier?) In any case, I'm still not feeling great but perhaps a little better (or I'm getting used to the new normal.) 
I'm taking Tylenol, which seems to help. I just want to feel ok again. 
 
Hey Bright,

I just wanted to mention that the weight gain throughout the day and subsequent loss overnight thing (at least for me) is totally normal! I hope that's the case for you too and everything is back to normal soon. :)) RE: the TEBB, I'll let you know how it goes. I'm STILL having it today, mixed with EWCM. I mean really, give it a rest! :rolleyes:
 
Hey Tammy. Thanks for the reassurance. That's so annoying that the bleeding is still going on! I hope it stops soon!
Still sending you crazy amounts of dust for next week. (Also hoping you can have a nice relaxing weekend.)

Hi to everyone else. Happy weekend! :wavey:
 
Hey everyone, I have internet again :-). At least for a few days. I have my husband's iPad with a data plan when I am in San Antonio, but I try not to stay on it too long since we have a limit to it.

Bella - OK, now you have had the procedure. I hope that the bleeding is helped by this and that your recovery is smooth.

Bright - I am glad you are feeling better. As for your weight, it can change throughout the day. In terms of watching for abnormal weight gain, you might want to just weigh yourself once a day at the same time each day. It sounds like you are doing ok, but you are not making me look forward to this treatment cycle. I went running this morning and was too nauseated to run. I might be gaining some weight on these meds too if this keeps up.

Dreamer - My husband got a new job near San Antonio, and they allow him to work remote! So we have been living together for a year, and he goes away about one a month to work. We are hoping with the move he can do more day trips instead of staying a week at a time in a hotel. Live has been much better since she started living together. I am trying to stay off the other forums until my condo sells (which may be next week). Once that happens, I am going to take on a major jewelry project.

Tammy - I will be thinking of you next week. Good luck on the interviews, and enjoy your DH's B-day. I think the spotting is worth bringing up at your doctor's apt.

AFM - I am on a medication called Menopur. I take two vials a day which totals to 150IU of FSH/LH. My US looked good on Thrusday, so my next one is Monday. I did get the meds in the mail on Wednesday, so I had them in time for my treatment. Other than that just moving. My house is empty, and we are sleeping on an air mattress. I think we are going for TI this month, and I will ask for an IUI the next cycle I get to try. Not sure when the next cycle after this is going to be though, as I said before, I may have to take a few months off to get my job going.
 
Ltl, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I suspect my pcos is what caused the extra response in me. Also you're on a different drug. Hoping you're feeling ok. I exercised for my first few days on Gonal f but slacked off when I started feeling worse. I think if you listen to your body you'll be fine. Good luck with the move & hoping this is the last cycle you need to do. 

Hi to everyone else. Hope you guys are having a great weekend. 

Afm, I'm finally starting to feel better. Yay! I'm not 100% yet but noticeably better than yesterday. 
I'm going to test tomorrow at 9dpo mostly to make sure the hcg shot is out of my system but I find myself getting excited despite myself.  If this cycle is bfn I might take a month off as I'm really not ready to be sick again in a few days. 
 
Good luck everyone!! You all deserve to be moms so much.

Bright, I really am hoping this is your cycle!
 
Thanks so much, indecisive. I hope you & your little bean are doing great!

How's everyone else?

Afm, I tested today at 9dpo & it was bfn. I expected it would be, but it's always a little disappointing to see that blank test.
(Especially after I had a dream last night that I was pregnant...with quadruplets!) :eek:
 
Bright, not fun to see a BFN, but I think it's actually a good thing, so if you do see a BFP in the next few days you'll no for sure it's the real deal. Want this so badly for you lady, and I'll be thinking of you.

Tammy, good luck with your interviews this week! Just be confident and practice answering questions you think you might get, and I'm sure you'll do great! Good luck with your appointment too. I really hope this one goes better than the last round of appointments and you can start being a little more proactive.

Thinking of the rest of you too! I know it's hard, but keep the faith that everything will fall into place when the time is right.
 
Bright, sorry about the BFN. But, 9 DPO is kind of early. Fingers crossed and truckloads of sticky dust your way.
 
Think of you and keeping my fingers and toes crossed Bright!
 
Hi Girls!

Oh bright well that just means that you know it's not residual when you do get your bfp in a couple of days! :halo: Big hugs hun! You know I'm hoping and praying for you always. :))

Thank you to everyone for the job interview well wishes! It's in 4 hours and counting...I'm feeling pretty good about this one, so that's a start! DH's birthday is today and the interview is in the same area where he's working, and I have another interview again tomorrow morning out there...so we're staying overnight in a fun hotel today! I'm super excited. :bigsmile:

In other news, I'm 1 DPO I think! I had a VERY strong positive opk, which I haven't had in recent months, a ton more EWCM and ovulated a day earlier (CD14). So cautiously optimistic is my current state of mind!
