Re: The Official TTC Thread!
CDN: I love your new signature – I giggled out loud,
thanks for the laugh. You know I’m such a lightweight these days. One or two glasses and I’m bored of drinking and look forward to a nice hot cup of tea and that is usually no more that once ot twice a week - max. I can’t even remember the last time I was out drinking – in a nightclub (ha) or pub. Getting old – it creeps up on you. So anyhoo – I hope you enjoyed a drink for me too; I don’t like to mix my drinks and was on tea all night! Ha. I assume you too are keeping a low profile on the whole TTC business? That is ok too. About the SI, well my kitchen counter is like a chemist’s shop with me taking four pills of this and 1 pill of that but I can’t take my 3 pills of those until I’m TWW’ing. Good grief! But in all my trying, last month was the closest I got to a full BFP and I took my soya and B vitamins – perhaps it had nothing to do with it? Who knows? But I did 3-5 last month and this month I did 1-5, might as well try to launch more than one egg if it does any good at all. I know you had good luck with it too – so if you have the pills there –why not? You know I want you to be back on that 'other' thread, like now.
Dreamer: No wonder you like to hang in the TTC thread, all you psychiatrists are the same; obsessed with sex, that and brisk walks! (Fawlty towers – the psychiatrist episode). Now that my career plans are in the toilet, I have grand plans to go back to psych before I die. I probably never will but it is nice to dream. So, I’m jealous of you and Pumpkin. Well done for getting on and having a career. You clever so-and-so, you!
Pumpkin: Awh, I told you I was nice! I’m glad to have ‘met’ you too. Any room on that couch for me; can you say freebie? You are close enough, I’m in 1reland – begorra, me lucky charms! How did I give myself away – I try to use U.S type words so you will understand me and to blend in….obviously my 1rish is showing…***nips off to put a pot of spuds on to boil and chase cows out of the field***
Dust to all. (With a special IUI portion to RC & Dcgator)
AFM: So it is Sunday. Ho-de-hum. Also CD7. Whoop-de-do.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Trying to catch up, this tread is moving so fast
charbie, thank you for your dream dust. I really appreciate it
About the BCP, I felt like you, I was only on the pill for 6 month, a quite and not coming back. 
Bella, so sorry to hear abut your DH, dust to you and him to find the pace you need in this hard times.
Ryan Clare, sending you IUI dust. And for a BFP after the 2WW.
DC, Have you tested? Sending you tons of dust for a positive.
Princess, welcome to TTC
dreamer, thank you for sending me fish dust. We actually need it a lot. How is the BDT over there. Are you following steal tales to have a girl?
I hope you don't live this tread after getting a positive. We need you over here
CDN, I guess it's ok to say that I'm happy AF show up so you can move to the next cycle.
Pumpkin pie, welcome, It's really nice to have more people around here. Sending you dust for BFP soon. I find in my case it comes in waves, in the beginning was very hard b/c I thought I could get pregnant in the first try, then it came acceptance, then it came desperation because it has been 6 month. Now I'm in acceptance again. Hang in there.
Missjaxon, sorry about AF.
Dragon, It's nice to see you around. I probably learned why are so many miscarriages back in school but I probably blocked her for my mind. Not a subject I want to refresh while I'm TTC
Moxie, sending you dust to you and your sister. My sister is TTC right now as well, and I would love if the both of us can get pregnant around the same time.
LV, modern, and all of you thank you for being part of this journey.
steal, How are you doing? I love your post, I'm always looking forward to read what you have to say
. Sending you for baby octopus making.
I want to thank everybody that send me well wishes to my fish. I know it may sounds ridicule, but I had got attached to them. My blue tank almost did not make it. On Friday was acting the way fishes act before they day. It was a hard day for me, miraculously is getting better so now I have some hope.
I'm DPO5 as today, but I'm starting to question if FF is correct about my O day. Seems like day 27 could be as well, the bad news is that I stop testing for O and I did not check the CM as well. So I don't have more information. What do you guys think?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Steal, you are cracking me up over on this side of the pond!
They really do need to find a way to put female viagra in the BC pill. Between the bc and the celexa I take for anxiety, my horomones are shot. Last night after a bottle of champage (don't judge) I was feelin frisky and told my husband we could make a baby if he wanted to...I could "feel my egg drop." This time it was him being the logical one who said it wouldn't be the smartest move.
Good news is, I really do think I ovulated, so I guess we shall see.
I like sticking my head in here so if I do become a jerkstore again, at least I've made my mark in this territory. And I really like following everyones journey...its quite incredible how much goes into procreation! Yes Steal, some people are fertile myrtles who practice w/d and have sex 5 days before they O and somehow get knocked up (oops. Me.) But I like to think that the unfair world tries to keep balance, and there really must be a reason some people do struggle. I know there is a clear reason now why my m/c happened...if it hadn't, my husband and I would be stuck in a city we didn't like, with no family close, and working jobs we weren't happy at. It sure sucked at the time, and I get pissed when I see other people who clearly are not in the best position to be raising a child right now getting "accidentally" pregnant. The logical side of me is saying I need to wait until the stars align, clouds part, and a beam of light strikes me in the uterus and a baby is made. But the (drunk...ie: last night) side of me just says "who cares! Life will work itself out!" But I have to believe that what is meant to be will be. Otherwise, ill drive myself nuts (see paragraph above where I said I'm on celexa for anxiety...)
I'm not sure what this rant is about. But it feels good to get that off my chest. Back to your regular programming. Or, the psycholgists here can psycho analyze this hot mess.
PS: gaby...glad the fishies are better! I think you O'd on Day 27.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Gaby I think it could be what FF said or it could be CD27! No way to know for certain. You'll just have to wait and see!
AFM -- still waiting for O! Hopefully today, I am tired of the sex marathon -- day 10 today!
***
I thought I would start the record of where we are again, like CDGator was, but maybe simplify it with just two categories:
Waiting to O!
Steal
Dreamer
CDNinNYC
MissJaxon
ModernSparkler
Bella
PrincessPlease (right?)
moxie.moo
Waiting for Aunt Flo.... NOT!
WOIN (putting you here despite the chart of confusion )
Ryan Claire
DCGator
PumpkinPie (right?)
Gaby
Charbie
If I missed you please update!! Not many ladies in the 2ww right now, strange!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Oh I was confusing you with Moxie.Moo! She is in clinical grad school I think. More sex-crazed psychologists here that we thought!
PumpkinPie said:Hi Dreamer,
I work as a therapist in Alberta actually. I started a PhD last year but opted out as academia doesn't really agree with me - it's bad for my mental healthso I figured I'd work clinically instead and help support others' mental health.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Chart confusion, indeed!
I didn't use any OPKs yesterday because I was mad at them for being so useless, but on a whim this afternoon I tried one and it was definitely, decidedly, unambiguously positive, with a test line much darker than the control.
Here's some egg-droppin' dust for Steal, Dreamer, CDNinNYC, MissJaxon, ModernSparkler, Bella, PrincessPlease, and moxie.moo!
And some Anti-Flo dust for Ryan Claire, DCGator, PumpkinPie, Gaby, Charbie!
And Charbie, I think you should embrace the "Life will work itself out!" side of you, because as much as we can plan and calculate and try to direct our lives, it never really works that way in the end. You'll do the best you can with the situation you're in, whatever it is, which is the most anyone can ask of herself!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
I bet it's 'cause we're getting really close-knit. It's a well known phenomenon. We are like the nomads from thousands of years ago who all had periods coinciding with one another and ultimately, all had pregnancies in a tribe occurring at the same time. With babies born at the same time, the tribe was able to move on when all the infants were at the same stage of development.
I bet that's why there was such a cluster of pregnancies in this thread earlier this year.
I'm joking, obviously, but wouldn't it be nice to have another PS baby boom together?
Come on ladies, all together now!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Hi all! I've missed you for . . . 4 pages now! You ladies have been chatty! The way I like it.
Just a drive by to say send good thoughts to you in the 2WW; DCgator, PumpkinPie, Charbie, Gaby, WOIN, and Ryan Claire! Huge fingers crossed for all of you lovely ladies.
Charbie - I love your outlook on this whole process. In lieu of a beam of light striking you in the uterus, here's to hoping that all you needed was a little liquid lubricant. Not of the KY variety!
Dreamer - I love it when you "drop by" this thread.
Gaby - so glad to hear your fish are feeling better.
KTF - I will miss you around here, dear, but I know you'll be back when the timing is right for you. Wishing you all of the strength and peace you need to move on in whichever direction you need to.
Bella - So sorry about your DH. Lots of dust to you both to make it through this.
Ryan Claire - Dust for your IUI! Here's hoping this is the one for you!
DCgator - Any updates on your end?
CDN - Hun, sorry about AF, but here's hoping that Righty is ready to play nice this month! Lots of dust to you, chica!
Missjaxon - You, too. Sorry about AF, but congrats on your wedding! Yay for joyful occasions!
PumpkinPie - I *think* I know who you used to be, but I'm going to shut up on that, and just say welcome to TTC! So nice to see some fresh meat in here!
Moxie - Dust for both you and your sister! That would be so neat if you both could have similarly timed BFPs!
Princess - Welcome to the TTC thread.
Steal - I related to your comment about not remembering the last time I'd been out drinking in a club. Girlfriends forced me out to drink til the wee early morning in NYC. I was very happy about that. Was tons o fun, but I ain't as young as I used to be so I've been sleeping it off for the past 2 weeks.
_______________________________
AFM, I'm CD1 today, and officially ready to start TTC again. DH and I did some "trying" this month, but because I had no idea what my cycle would be like, apparently we didn't try hard enough. Bah, I also discovered I'm horrible at temping. I think my hypothyroidism (and trip to NYC which had my schedule all fouled up) leave me with really unreliable temps. I run very, very low, but when I shoot up, I can also drop like a rock within a day or two. Like, from a high of 98.4 to a low of 96.3 in 2 days. I think it's because I'm a fitful sleeper, and I have cats that wake me up at all hours of the early morning. Anyone else have trouble reading anything meaningful from charting temps? Luckily, my CM tells me a bit of what I need to know, but it's not the whole picture and it's really frustrating.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
It was just some of your phrasing Steal - the 'works a treat' was a big give away My aunt lives in London so I've been there a few times, and spent only a few days in Scotland. I've not been to Ireland yet but it's on my short list.. 
Steal said:Pumpkin: Awh, I told you I was nice! I’m glad to have ‘met’ you too. Any room on that couch for me; can you say freebie? You are close enough, I’m in 1reland – begorra, me lucky charms!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Hello Ladies,
OMG, this thread is hot, hot, hot! Thank goodness it's the weekend so I can catch up properly!
Steal - Thanks for the happy thoughts. You are so very sweet. I am hanging in there. I will give you (and everyone else) more details at the bottom. How have you tolerated the SI this time around? Hang in there hun. I have lots of good feelings for you too, especially since it appears your body finally figured out what its supposed to do. Hopefully it will be your month my dear!
Dreamer - Of course we all want a healthy baby, but I would
a girl too. My DH really wants a boy. But, I think we will both be happy with any baby at this point. I hope that you eggie has dropped so that you can get some rest already, hehe. But, that is great news about all the fertility signs. Hopefully you will be a jerkstore and the good news that we really need on here!
CDN - Sorry about the extended 2WW and now AF. What a B she is to toy with you like that. That is pretty funny about carrying around the pee stick, but I am infamous for checking the sticks later in the day, just to be sure... Enjoy your liquid dinner and forget about all this TTC stuff, if just for night or two.
Miss Jaxon - Sorry about your DH still being sick, but hopefully he will get better soon. Sorry about the really wacky AF. I would definitely start to track other signs next month, and hopefully they will give you a clearer picture on your cycle next month.
Pumpkin Pie - I am sorry about the false start on AF. What a PITA she is. When we want her, she won't come, and when we want her to stay away, she barges right in. Ugh. I hope that the doc will find something out with the tests. I know this whole thing can get frustrating, but just try to hang in there. And you are not whining, you are just sharing your feelings. We are to commiserate with you and celebrate, when the time comes. So stop on by, whenever you need it.
Moxie - Thanks for the well wishes. I totally hear you on the Type-A thing. Roll call! That's great that you can share your journey with your sister, how cool. And that would be great if you could have little ones within months of each other. I hope the timing works out for both of you!
RC - Yeah on the great swimmers and successful IUI! I know the waiting sucks, but hang in there my dear. I have all my happy thoughts headed your way. Wouldn't it be great if we could get KU together. Ah, nice thoughts...Either way, good luck my dear and hopefully this will be it for you!
Princess - I am a bit confused on your AF and BC pill stop date. Did you stop your BC mid-cycle or something? How long were your cycles pre-BC? And as for figuring out your cycle now, you will get it down. Once you get AF, you can start to watch CF and/or temp and/or track with OPK's. Just do what you feel like, and you will have it all down in no time. And don't worry yet about troubles getting KU, just enjoy the practice time. Good luck!
Bella - Thanks for checking in my dear. I am hanging in there, trying to stay positive, you know? Sorry about the mini meltdown, but I feel like those do help restart us. That is wonderful about being able to finish up the paperwork and homestudy before Christmas, that would be great! Good luck in the coming week or two with your BD marathon!
Charbie - Woohoo to you and DH getting frisky. I guess we will see what happens, but I don't think it would be to bad if you got KU again so easily. To whatever may be...
Modern - Nope, no patience here, I broke at the pee sticks already, lol. How are you holding up? Has AF left the building yet?
WON - That is surely an interesting chart. I would daresay though that your temp might have risen today, giving you O yesterday. Let us know how that goes.
Gaby - Thanks for the happy thoughts. I am hanging in there. As for your chart, I am included to say that FF is correct and your O date is CD 25
Po - Good luck my dear! I hope that you get some great news in the next week or so. Fingers crossed that this is the month!
LTP - Your time in NYC sounds like it was fun. I will second all you ladies about not being able to do it like I used to though. Something about getting old, and not drinking that much while TTC has made me a real light weight.
. Oh well, I guess I make a cheap date now, hehe. Good luck on this cycle and hopefully you will get KU quickly!

AFM - I am still around, but wasn't really on the computer that much as I was hanging around with DH while he was here. We were supposed to run the Army 10-Miler yesterday, but with the possible pregnancy, I didn't want to risk it. I told my DH I was going to be really pissed if we skipped it and then I wasn't pregnant, but like he said, better safe than sorry. Nothing much to report though, 10DPO and BFN. Boo...I know that it is still kinda early for a BFP, and I am trying to hold out hope, but I am preparing myself in case. I really would love this to be it, especially since spending the $ for another IUI doesn't sound so great, but I feel like the majority of people find out kinda early around here. But, perhaps I will get a pleasant surprise in the morning. Fingers (and toes) still crossed. I know we need a BFP on here since we've been in a drought for a while, and I will try my best ladies, promise I hope you all enjoy what's left of your weekend and I will check in tomorrow or so. Good luck to my sisters in the 2WW, may it be a fruitful couple of weeks!
Hello Ladies,
OMG, this thread is hot, hot, hot! Thank goodness it's the weekend so I can catch up properly!
Steal - Thanks for the happy thoughts. You are so very sweet. I am hanging in there. I will give you (and everyone else) more details at the bottom. How have you tolerated the SI this time around? Hang in there hun. I have lots of good feelings for you too, especially since it appears your body finally figured out what its supposed to do. Hopefully it will be your month my dear!
Dreamer - Of course we all want a healthy baby, but I would
a girl too. My DH really wants a boy. But, I think we will both be happy with any baby at this point. I hope that you eggie has dropped so that you can get some rest already, hehe. But, that is great news about all the fertility signs. Hopefully you will be a jerkstore and the good news that we really need on here!CDN - Sorry about the extended 2WW and now AF. What a B she is to toy with you like that. That is pretty funny about carrying around the pee stick, but I am infamous for checking the sticks later in the day, just to be sure...
Enjoy your liquid dinner and forget about all this TTC stuff, if just for night or two.Miss Jaxon - Sorry about your DH still being sick, but hopefully he will get better soon. Sorry about the really wacky AF. I would definitely start to track other signs next month, and hopefully they will give you a clearer picture on your cycle next month.
Pumpkin Pie - I am sorry about the false start on AF. What a PITA she is. When we want her, she won't come, and when we want her to stay away, she barges right in. Ugh. I hope that the doc will find something out with the tests. I know this whole thing can get frustrating, but just try to hang in there. And you are not whining, you are just sharing your feelings. We are to commiserate with you and celebrate, when the time comes. So stop on by, whenever you need it.
Moxie - Thanks for the well wishes. I totally hear you on the Type-A thing. Roll call! That's great that you can share your journey with your sister, how cool. And that would be great if you could have little ones within months of each other. I hope the timing works out for both of you!
RC - Yeah on the great swimmers and successful IUI! I know the waiting sucks, but hang in there my dear. I have all my happy thoughts headed your way. Wouldn't it be great if we could get KU together. Ah, nice thoughts...Either way, good luck my dear and hopefully this will be it for you!
Princess - I am a bit confused on your AF and BC pill stop date. Did you stop your BC mid-cycle or something? How long were your cycles pre-BC? And as for figuring out your cycle now, you will get it down. Once you get AF, you can start to watch CF and/or temp and/or track with OPK's. Just do what you feel like, and you will have it all down in no time. And don't worry yet about troubles getting KU, just enjoy the practice time.
Good luck!Bella - Thanks for checking in my dear. I am hanging in there, trying to stay positive, you know? Sorry about the mini meltdown, but I feel like those do help restart us. That is wonderful about being able to finish up the paperwork and homestudy before Christmas, that would be great! Good luck in the coming week or two with your BD marathon!
Charbie - Woohoo to you and DH getting frisky. I guess we will see what happens, but I don't think it would be to bad if you got KU again so easily. To whatever may be...
Modern - Nope, no patience here, I broke at the pee sticks already, lol. How are you holding up? Has AF left the building yet?
WON - That is surely an interesting chart. I would daresay though that your temp might have risen today, giving you O yesterday. Let us know how that goes.
Gaby - Thanks for the happy thoughts. I am hanging in there. As for your chart, I am included to say that FF is correct and your O date is CD 25
Po - Good luck my dear! I hope that you get some great news in the next week or so. Fingers crossed that this is the month!
LTP - Your time in NYC sounds like it was fun. I will second all you ladies about not being able to do it like I used to though. Something about getting old, and not drinking that much while TTC has made me a real light weight.
. Oh well, I guess I make a cheap date now, hehe. Good luck on this cycle and hopefully you will get KU quickly!*****

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Thanks for the support Gaby
I'm calmer and more optimistic now, but am definitely feeling the side effects of the Provera. This stuff, to everyone who hasn't had the pleasure of taking it before, is like PMS-on-steroids in tiny pill format. 
Dreamer - I am actually waiting for AF - just 7 more days of Provera then it should start within a few days of stopping the med. Fingers crossed. No worries - there seem to be a lot of dr.s and psychologists on this board. All the Type A anxiety prone people like myself
CDN - I love that sperm meets egg emoticon - you have the best animations!
Lauren - thanks for the welcome!
DCgator - I have my fingers crossed for you - 10DPO is still a bit early so I hope AF stays away and you get your BFP soon!
No other news from me today. Just hanging out hoping that I don't turn into too much of a monster before the next 7 days of Provera are up. Time to go make some popcorn and settle down with a book for the evening - catch you all tomorrow

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Dreamer, yes waiting to O!
I'm on my mobile, so I'll post a more thorough response after work today! It's so hard to post a thorough response on the phone, especially when I can't have the posts opened in the background.
Still no AF; no PMS symptoms like I had before going on BCP. she was supposed to come this past Thursday, but I'm sure my cycle is all screwy. Dh and I BDed a few times last week, so I'll test in two weeks just to ease my mind! When I was 19, I got PG by accident after not having pills for a month (though I miscarried that pg) so I'm hoping I'm still as fertile!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Gaby: I’m sorry your fish gave you a scare. Dust for them to continue to recover as soon as possible, which I am sure they will; they sound well cared for. I agree with the others, CD27 does look suspiciously like O day.
Charbie: Did you guys BD or not? Did DH talk you out of schexy time; that sounds rather altruistic of a man, even a really nice special man. I kind of hope you DTD. I have had the conversation about the unfairness of infertility so many times in my head. But unfairness is ‘fair’ in that it creeps into all aspects of life, from disability and ill-health to access to employment and wealth distribution etc. I suppose it is only ‘fair’ that unfairness creates infertility. I just hope on hopes that non of us PS TTC ladies will suffer that particular unfairness.
If you did ovulate and BD yesterday – welcome to the TWW!
Dreamer: Is your egg holding out for a better dental plan or what! Get shifting eggie! Thanks for the TTC who’s who – very helpful. I don’t know if PT and Lili might want to be on?
WON: I completely understand about being upset at the OPK! Completely! What luck that you peed on one at the exact right time and it sounds like it was a great strong positive – I wonder are you dropping a superegg? So I assume the curtains are closed at your house? Get busy lady.
CDN: Again, I love that sig. Love the egg+sperm too. Awh! About the concurrent menstrual cycles, I’m sure we need to sniff each other or something for that. So I’ll stop rubbing my armpit on the laptop if you will.
Are you using the SI? If you are interested, in order to combat the CM problem last cycle, I have increased my water intake as of yesterday.
PO: You had a nice quick cycle. I hope you hit the TTC lottery and will be reporting a big fat positive on nov 4th! Whoooooo
LTP: Nice to ‘see’ you. CD1, as I have said the only good news about AF is that she beings a new fresh cycle. The reasons you posted are why I do not bother temping – it would be purely an exercise in frustration for me. I use the bathroom at least once a night and the cats are in and out like yo-yo’s. (Meeeeoooooooooow
- but I love them so ) I agree that the CF, once you are used to it, is such a great indicator. Are you a fan of the SI, pressed, instead cups, wooden spoon under the mattress or anything like that?
Pumpkin: Well I would have never guessed that ‘works a treat’ is a give away! Here is me saying store and trunk and elevator (well, not much on the TTC thread but you know what I am trying to say) and all the while my 1rish is hanging out. So funny! I would love to visit Scotland too – especially in the winter.
I hope your symptoms settle down soon and AF makes her appearance.
Dcgator: I so hope this cycle took for you, I can’t tell you how much. IUIjerkstoreDust for you and extra dust for you and your DH to have the positivity and strength to keep calm over the next couple of days. I praise you for keeping quiet about symptoms and the like – it must be torturous at the moment wanting to analyse everything. I’m sorry you missed your run but 10 miles is a long run and you might just have a bun in that oven!
I do have one odd side effect to the SI that I am not sharing online – but I have bought the pills already (5boxes, on sale!) so I will keep using them until I get my octopus or until I run out.
Princess: Hi there. I’m sorry to hear about your m/c, that must have been very sad.
So you could be PG or you could be waiting to O. That must be frustrating! Grrr.
RC: ****IUIdust IUIdust IUIdust IUIdust IUIdust IUIdust IUIdust IUIdust IUIdust***
Bella: Is your DH doing ok at the moment, and how are you?
Almost time to start buying the energy bars – the sex-a-thon is just around the corner.
MissJ: How are you doing? Let us know.
Moxie & ModernS: It is that ‘just hanging’ time in the month isn’t it? Not much happening and that can be a blessing in this TTC business.
Lili: Dust for you too in your au naturel cycle.
AFM: Brrrrrr! It is so cold here. We are freezing already. CD8 for me and a bank holiday over here. As I said above, I have started to drink way more water ( I kinda hate water at the moment but, needs must!) to increase potential CM. Now we are using preseed too - if we can find the tube. I bet you it was the damned cats again. They get into everything. In other news, remember I bought a new car in June? Well it needed a few bits fixing like one heated mirror was gone and the Cd/radio unit needed sealing so I sent it in 2 weeks ago for repair and they damaged the interior! They cracked the gear stick and marked the centre console. I am very cranky about it. The manager is supposed to call me this week with a solution. For me though. The damage is already done and the point is that they should have been much more careful. The good news is my eye infection has all cleared up so I am happily back in my contacts - Bliss!
Good luck to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.s. Extra special with a bow on top dust to RC & Dcgator. Good luck ladies.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Hi ladies - thought I would jump back in here and give you an update . . . But first, DCGator, I have my fingers crossed for you and I have a good feeling.
So we decided to do the IUI this cycle (doc had me on 100mg clomid for 5 days and then Repronex injections for 2 days - finished last night). Went in this morning for ultrasound and blood test. My Estradiol is 1394. The doc is a little nervous because I responded extremely well to the meds. Have 3 really big follicles that will definitely go and I have 4 or 5 medium/big follies that she hopes doesn't go (but there is a good chance they will). To keep them from getting bigger we went ahead and triggered and will do IUI tomorrow.
I had to agree to reduce in order to proceed.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
So I am really steamed. I think my thermometer is broken and I did not know it. Here I have been waiting to ovulate and see a temp shift and getting flat lines temps, and all along it was the thermometer!! I know this because my CF started drying up yesterday and is gone today AND I had DH use the thermometer after he was up and about and it read the same temp that it gave me when I woke at 7am Then I used our fever thermometer and it was like a degree warmer. I should have known because it is like 2.5 years old. So my chart is all messed up now.
I am sad because I like my chart and it is fun to do, and now it is all screwed up! So I just made up a temp for today that is in my post-O range and will go buy another thermometer tonight and hopefully I can pick up tomorrow.
So I consider that I ovulate either Saturday or Sunday. Either way we hit O, O-1, 0-2, O-3, O-4 and O-5 So our bases are covered. We will likely DTD tonight just to be safe, but I am considering myself in the 2ww.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Yikes this thread is cruising!!!
DC: Extra dust to you as well!!! I am sure the run would not have made a difference, but good to be on the safe side. We are ready for a BFP party and hoping it will be in your honor!!!
RC: Also thinking of you. How are you feeling after the IUI? Any telling twinges yet? Thinking good thoughts.
Steal: Thanks for the shout out. I guess between AF and waiting for O which seems to be later for me, there is not much excitement to report. Sorry about the car. I hope the manager can do something for you. Glad you are back in your contacts though! I laughed outloud at the thought of your cats and the preseed. I hope you find it and put it to good use!
Dreamer: Boo about the thermometer. That is terrible. A good reminder we have to change the batteries. Either way, sounds like you had this cycle covered. Lots of dust to you in the 2WW.
LA: Congrats on a good start to this IUI cycle. Sounds like you have lots of potential eggies, but hopefully not too many!
Pumpkin: Hope the Provera gets a good cycle reset board. I know what you mean about the Type A's on the board. It is all too easy to obsess about the what if's of infertility even in the begninng of this process.
LTP: Ditto to relying on CM if your temps are not helpful. Sorry about CD 1
Sorry to those I missed, just a quick lunch post to say hi.
AFM: CD 8 and waiting for O. Planning for preseed and my CBE smiley fertility monitors. In other news, one of my good friends who also started trying this summer just announced she is PG and 12 weeks which she got KU their first cycle trying!!! I am super excited for them but a bit envious of her jerkstore status! DH and I are headed to a Palm Springs this weekend and Smiley or not it will be a nice break.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
RC: You know I love you too!
LAJenn: I thought about including you but hesitated - I shouldn't have, I'm sorry. Well done on havign super responsive follicles! Wishing you the best of luck tomorrow - don't be shy in bagging your horizontal time post-IUI. Good luck honey.
ModernS: They really are the culprits. They knock everything off the nightstand and once on the floor it is the same as any cat toy and gets batted around the house (we have 2 doors in the whole house - so they have free reign). This totally is the boring bit of the cycle. Zzzzzzzzzzz. Palm Springs sounds amazing -Is there room for a little one?
___________
EDIT: as TMI. Think I do have a polyp. I must say I am feeling anxious and thanking fate that I have my colposcopy next week and ultrasound on the 24th.
Boooo.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
I have a quick me-centric post. I've been taking the Provera for the past 3.5 days and have started spotting/lightly bleeding - the drug info suggests that I should call my dr. if I bleed while taking this medication - does anyone have any experience/feedback with this issue? My dr. won't talk on the phone and I really can't take the time off to go there again to ask one simple question.

My dr. won't talk on the phone and I really can't take the time off to go there again to ask one simple question.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
PP-Although I'm not in psych anymore, my BA was in psych. I actually work in social work. I'm sorry grad school did not work out for you. It's SO insanely hard at times, so much so that I took this semester off. I don't have any experience with Provera, but I hope all is well. Keep us updated. That's SO weird that they won't talk on the phone. Is there any way to talk to a nurse or a nurse practitioner on staff?
Gaby- Thank you. I'm sorry I missed your fishies post. I am sending much fishie healing dust your way. I know how easy it is to get attached to pets.
Charbie- I'm the same way as you. I used to think "Wow, A-Z needs to be aligned for baby to come" but realized that a house won't come for a while regardless if there is a baby, debts being paid completely won't happen whether a baby comes or not, I can't go for my PhD because we can't be a one income household whether a baby comes or not, but I really now feel like that if we keep "pushing it off", there will always be "one more thing to do before baby comes" and that we'll never have a baby. Like you, I try to be a logical thinker, but I think my logic gets the best of me at times
DD- Hope O comes soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sending big O dust!!!!!!!!!!!
WOIN- Thank you for your welcome!
CDN- That would be pretty awesome!!! C'mon, O, come for all of us waiting, and for those waiting for AF, STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!
Po- Eeeeeep!!!! MUCH dust for baby making right now in your womb!!!
LTP- Thank you for your welcome
DC- I stopped pills about 10 days into the new pack. I was feeling some very early PG symptoms and thought "OMG, we may be PG" because I had missed my first week of a new pack (I started the new pack one week late). So once I realized there was possibility of PG, I stopped the pill. I bought a BBT therm today, but don't know when to start using it I also checked CM today and it was a whitish color, sort of thickish, but my cervix seemed low and firm when I checked sitting, however, higher up when I put my leg on the toilet (like I had to insert my whole middle finger inside all the way to feel it), so I was really confused What's the best position for checking position ha! Sending BFP dust your way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steal- Thank you for your condolences. I believe everything happens for a reason, and I'm at peace with the situation, although it was very sad at the time. So yeah, it's either BFP or waiting to O, ugh I'm sorry about the issues with your car. I bought a new one in June, too, and two weeks after, the plastic at the bottom that held the seat together broke!!! Crazyness!!!! I'm sending you much dust for your colonoscopy next week ::hugs::
LA- Much dust to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dreamer- Sorry about your thermometer!! But YAY to 2WW!!!!! Much much much dust!!!!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
I don't have time to make a long post...but holy heartburn. 
and to answer the question...we did get a little frisky but we shall see if our "trusty" pull and pray method worked to keep my from NOT getting pregnant.
Steal: in Sunday school, I remember always being told God wouldn't put more on our plate than we could handle...I remember many many times being like, "ok GOD, seriously...can't handle anymore here!!! Wtf! Are you TRYING to kill me?????" Which is sort of along those same lines of, "can't I catch a break once??? Just this one time??? Can't I be the one who gets to have something amazing fall into my lap. Like right now we found what we believe to be our dream home, at the perfect price...and we both were like, "don't get excited...it is waaaaaay to good to be true." It seems like some people just get everything to come to them so easily, while others have to work so hard to see one small return. Its like the rich kid with no student loans who lands a top salaried position over me...GAH! Can't you see that I need that money/job waaaaaaaay more than spoiled McGee over there?? So I hope I didn't offend you in my comment. I was sort of "speaking" rhetorically...I have to somehow rationalize all of my actions or the things that happen...even if it does feel like I'm always getting the short end of the stick.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Princessplease - Alberta is unusual in that you only need a Master's degree to become a private licensed psychologist (along with all the other hoops of registration of course). I went that far and started the PhD and not too far into it, I wondered why I would do 3-4 extra years when I don't need to! If our program ever gets its act together enough to bring in a PsyD rather than just a PhD (pretty unlikely ), I would do it in a second, but I have no interest in teaching or research, just clinical practice
how do you like social work?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
PP- You guys are SO lucky that only a masters is required!! I'm actually two classes away from my MA in Criminal Justice. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet, though I eventually want to go back to school for a PhD or PsyD in forensic psych, with the degree designation depending on which school I choose to attend.
Social work is pretty cool at times, but can be emotionally taxing at times. I work with the mentally ill, and when things are rough, they are ROUGH. I really like being able to make a difference, though.
Do you currently practice as a psychologist??

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Princess: Thanks honey I hope she can put my mind to rest. BTW, it is a colposcopy – whole different hole to a colonoscopy! But I’m sure you just misspelled it. I’ll have to wait a few years to experience that particular indignity.
Sorry about your car crap too – bummer. I hope your cycle sends you a signal soon so you know where you are.
Charbie: I could have written your last post, I feel so similarly. I spent most of the last two years saying “I’m done”, and waiting for the nervous breakdown. But it never came, at some points I hoped I that would have a breakdown because it seemed that there is never too much, there is always more crap available to fall down on top of you. That is why I didn’t believe the faint positive I got last month – deep down I know I am going to have problems. Nothing else has been easy so why would this, and I was right. Aw, I feel like such a Boo-Hoo writing this, but I think you know what I mean. I think I am preaching to the converted as far as you are concerned.
Dreamer: I am sorry I missed you last post somehow. I was angry at your thermometer when you posted that it stopped working properly. I know how much you like your charting. Good job on all the BD'ing and ******jerkstore baby dust**** now you are 2WW'ing. Woooo. (and shhhhhh extra GIRL baby dust too)
AFM: CD9. Lots of CM not stretchy yet but getting there – I think the OD’ing on water might be working.
