So here is how I told my DH; not the most creative way but it worked. I bought an ''I love Daddy'' bib and put it around the neck of this cute little stuffed bunny he gave me for our first Easter together. Then I put the bunny on the couch where he usually sits, under a blanket. He came home from work and changed clothes. I was waiting for him to go sit down at his usual spot on the couch, and wouldn''t you know it, of all nights he sat SOMEWHERE ELSE! Finally, he eventually sat down at his usual spot. He felt the bunny so he picked up the blanket to see what he was sitting on. At first, he just said ''Awww,'' realizing it was the bunny he gave me. Then he saw the bib, and was like, ''What''s this?'' I don''t think he registered what it said at first. Then he re-read it, and you could see a lightbulb going off, lol. He looked at me in kind of a hopeful way...and I said, ''I''m pregnant!'' I cried! I didn''t think I would.

po -- yay for the 2nd peak!!!
Laila -- such a cute story of how you told your DH!!! So please tell me everything...you were on Clomid for a bit. Did you take a break, did they give you anything else? What didyour preggo cycle entail??? Again, so happy!!! Loves Vintage didn't give you quite enough clappy faces, so I'm giving you more.
Hi everyone - popping back in after a bit of an extended leave... just needed I break from thinking about baby making and I think it did me some good. Of course I missed a ton though and I apologize that I can''t respond to everyone.
Charbie and Laila CONGRATULATIONS!!! Love seeing jerkstores and veteran BFP on here Laila I am so glad the follistim worked for you.
noelwr - hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise!
fisher and parrot tulips - glad you both dropped by to say hello and share your thoughts... I think this board is wonderful, but I agree it can make TTC a singular focus and it''s nice to step back and take a break sometimes. Can''t wait for BFP for you both.
fisher - love your name choices... I go back and forth about what I want first... I am much more comfortable with the idea of a girl but some part of me (probably the part that loves DH so much) really would love a little boy Although I can''t think of a boys name I like to save my life... Why are boys names so much harder?
LV - I am so sorry to hear about your BFN. I was really hoping to see good news for you. How are you hanging in there? Have you made any decisions about how you are gonna move forward? I know it''s hard to "take a break" when you are so in it. Thinking about you.
Lanie - So glad you Oed!!! What a great feeling to know that you have a shot this cycle. I am pulling for you.
Sweetlime - glad to see another person is using acupuncture... Hope it brings you luck.
welcome to miscka, blondbunnie, LTP, and caitlin. Caitlin I am sorry that your road has already been so tough. I hope that IVF is just the thing you need to get your BFP.
Lynnie - thanks for the shout out... laying low with nothing new to report... but feeling ok about that for right now. Hope you''ve got something new to report soon
HouM - Glad to see your cycle is under way and that you are excited about moving forward. Dust for your 2WW.
Bliss - I am not sure anyone on here wants you to take a break either! Sorry about weird vanishing PMS/cramps... I am holding out that it could be a sign of something more exciting.
Krissie - Love the Sergio reference... Can''t get that imagine out of my head now.
Bella - glad the new job is going well. Hope you can make some time for BDing but sounds as though you are taking each day as it comes and trying not to stress too much.
Po - love that you got your peaks... I can appreciate the small excitements in this process and I know that will be a fun one for me.

Thank you to Bella, po, Loves Vintage, and charbie!
Loves Vintage, you''re so sweet. I feel like we''re TTC sisters since we''ve both been through the same stuff.
Lanie,
I did Clomid for one cycle, and it caused a cyst and thinned the heck out of my lining. Nasty stuff.No wonder it was a BFN.
So I told my RE I did not want to go on Clomid again, and he switched me to the Follistim pen. It''s an injectable with a tiny needle. SO easy to use, and it stimmed my ovaries crazy quick! I triggered on CD 9(!) because my estrogen was through the roof and my doctor was worried about triplets or quads!I never had any ovulation issues on my own, but the Follistim created more follicles (I had between 2-4 mature follies at time of trigger). I kind of hope it''s not twins, but I''ll take whatever! I think even though I''m young and had good bloodwork results, maybe I just had not the best quality eggs. Also, (TMI alert) Follistim gives you tons of good quality EWCM, which I never really had.
We decided to proceed with another medicated IUI cycle. I went for u/s and b/w on CD3 (yesterday), and there was a huge cyst in one of my ovaries and two smaller ones on the other. The nurse told me the cycle would be canceled because there wouldn''t be enough room for follicles to grow with that one huge cyst. This would typically be bad news, but I was quite relieved because we had been on the fence about continuing this cycle. So, the decision I partly wanted to make on my own, was made for me. Ahhhhh. DH and I are both very ok with it. We will still have a natural cycle on our own. The nurse said it is still possible for me to conceive, even with the large cyst (which she referred to as a corpus luteum cyst, I guess it is some of the follicles from last cycle that are supposed to go away [i know, great technical terminology], but sometimes they don''t.) So, this cycle, I''m going to color my hair, drink some coffee, drink some beer, really live it up, you know, oh! and charge up little Miss Eva -- now, when do I do that? CD5, is it?
LV, I really missed posting with you all here, but I think the self-imposed break did me a world of good! I stopped obsessing about everything baby and everything TTC related.Date: 4/8/2010 11:58:56 AM

Laila - We ARE TTC Sisters!!! I misssssssssssssssed you when you were gone, but I knew you''d be back with good news one day, so I understood!
Here''s my mini-update:

I went MIA again, being sans internet. So much happened!
