Anne,

your chart looks amazing! Hang in there. I would advocate waiting a bit longer to test. But many many sticky vibes for you!!!

My story didn't turn out to well. I statred spotting and cramping more, actually it's almost like AF right now. And while I'm still waiting for yesterday's beta results, I think I know my answer.

I'm still confused and hurt, but I still want to try again.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Your chart is definitely looking great and very promising with those high temps. But just to temper your hope, remember that clomid can also increase the LP, I know it did for my sister. I hope this is it for you! I would test every other day if I were you!

Heat and sticky vibes !~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey Anne,

I so hope AFSA for you. Maybe you're right about FF being slightly off on your "O" date. Your chart does look great. Maybe this is it . She should be here any day for me and then we'll start back TTC pretty hard.

As far as plans for my Birthday( our B-day) , DH has something planned, not sure what. He told me the other day that I need to try to get off of work on Sat. around 2:30 cause he said he has dinner reservations for us somewhere and we have to be there by 5:15. I think he plans on taking me to Myrtle Beach to the Dixie Stampede Dinner and Show. I have wanted to go there for a few years now and I think maybe he has that planned, but I don't know for sure. I did not ask any questions cause I did not want to ruin his surprise. My Mom and Step-Dad are coming in on Sat. too, so I'm wondering if he has fixed it to where they can go with us. If that's not what he has planned, then I have absolutely no idea what it could be. Then, the next weekend, we'll go to MIL's for my B-day dinner there. She cooks dinner ( what ever the B-day person wants) for everyone's B-day. I hate that all these "celebrations/ activities" revolve around food though. I'm doing so good on my program so far. DH already told me last night, " Honey, I know you're trying to do good with your plan and all, but I hope you plan on eating Sat. " I told him I do. I just have to adjust my eating during the day for that day to account for what ever I eat that night and try not to go wild with it.

My best friend said she was going to give me a back massage using oils to help relax me after all these very stressful weeks we've been through recently. ( I know it's bad, but I think I'm looking forward to that more than anything).

What do you have planned ???? I'm sure DH has something up his sleeve. You'll definitely have to fill me in.

Do you feel any different knowing that you ( we ) are turning 37 ??? I've thought about that alot, especially recently. I never really thought about my age, especially when it came to TTC. But, now, I have so many regrets. Why didn't I look into all this sooner ? Could I have had a better chance if I had ? Is it too late ? Should I even continue ? I just always thought it would happen. I never thought there would be problems. And even when it did not happen for a few years, I still did not seek help, how so very stupid of me. The sad thing is, right now, we can't afford to seek too much help, because of our financial situation. Some things aren't covered on insurance as you well know. My doctor told me that he could probably slide in a Laproscopy due to me having very painful AF's , and while in there, he could check for Endo, cysts, etc, to see if he sees anything that may be preventing us from getting preg. I need to get a pap done anyway, so I may schedule an appointment, and he probably won't have an opening for a couple of months, so that will give us a couple more months of trying. I've got 6 charts I can take in, and DH still needs to do a SA. Cause it's like this, I'm not getting cut on til DH goes to get his "guys" checked to make sure things are alright there. So, I guess we'll see what happens. Sometimes, I wish the clock could be turned back, but I know it can't, for either of us. All we can do is pray and BD I guess. The rest is in the Lord's hands, and I can accept that. I will be very sad if we're not able to have a child, but it won't be the end of my world.

Well, gosh, I got way off track there, very sorry!!!! Did not mean to get so long winded. But, GL to you and I hope you get that BFP !!!! I will be so happy for you if you do and what an inspiration it would be for me. Take care Anne!!!

Hello to all the other Sisters and hope all is well. Take care!!!!

hey sisters! I am glad everyone is doing well. Lisa-I know you must be asking yourself a million "what if's" but like you said, it is in the Lords hands and you dont have anything to worry about until you get results of sa and your laproscopy if you haveone. I have had 3, and I definately recomnd you having one if you can. they can tell you anything after going in there. Its so worth it.

I have been fine. My 2nd AF finally went away, but I am not really looking for O. I dont know if I have, if I will, or anything. DH and I are just bding for fun and not thinking about it. I have been feeling really weird lately thoiugh, so there hasnt been much of that. I keep having stomach pains in a line below my belly button and I have stomach throbs. You know when a place on your body will start to throb but then goes away, well thats whats hap[pening in various places in my stomach. I dont have a clue what it is and I sort of feel like my endo is back. The lord healed me over a year ago, but I am feeling like I have it. I just keep telling myself that this month was crazy and I dont even need to think abaout it. I have a appt in the 21st for a pap so I will talk with my doc and get all the info I can about my cycles and what I need to be doing to speen the ttc process up, etc. I am really excited for it, it almost makes ttc more official! I know that sounds dumb since we have been trying for 9 mo already, but suresly you know whatI mean.

Ok, how do I always get off track? I gotta go, I have class soon. Hope you all have a great day!

Good afternoon sisters,

I don't have a lot of time but I wanted to quick check in.

Lisa its good to see you around again. Have a great birthday.

Anne I hope the nausea sticks around- I mean that in a good way_ LOL You have a great birthday too.

Jen Can't wait to hear how your appt goes tomorrow. Best of luck!

Paulette- I am so sorry for what you are having to go through. I will keep you in my prayers.

I am not sure what is going on w/ me my temps are not rising like last month and I had O pain way to long. I think I may have a cyst. I had them a few years ago and this is what it felt like. I do feel better today so maybe it went away already. I think it was called a corpus lectum cyst(sp?) Anyway I concieved my son a few months after I had them so hopefully they either disappear of just don't cause a problem.

Blessings to all,

Sharyn

Sounds like we're thinking a lot alike right now with our birthdays on the way. I can't help it though. I am going to call the Dr. probably on Monday to set an appointment for a pap and ask further about the lap and other possibilities. He's probably gonna be a little upset that DH never had the SA done that was ordered before. But, you remember what was going on then ( performance issues). DH did not even think he would be able to do that. So , now that we've got some BDing under his belt, I'm hoping his confidence has been restored. And just a side note ( we never did use the "V" samples Dr. gave him ), so I think that helped his feelings even more.

I'm not gonna give up on TTC just yet. I try to tell myself " You're only 37, you've still got some time, women my age have happy, healthy babies everyday, " but then another voice sometimes tells me, " OMG, wow, you are 37, what are you waiting for? " I have always tried not to dwell on it and did a pretty good job, but it seems like since we "officially" started TTC, it's all I think about. Hopefully, it's not too late for either one of us.

I can't wait to hear what DH planned for your birthday. I expect details come Mon. or Tues. I'll fill you in on mine as well. Sounds like our DH's are trying hard to make it very special for both of us.

I have felt exactly the same way you do about the board. I've gone through those feelings several times, and just kinda have to back off from it for a while, but then, I start wondering how people are and I check back in. I was floored about the whole "Abbey" story. I missed the whole thing until yesterday, and I had to go back and read all the post to figure out what was going on, but I got caught up. What a moving thread that was!!! Just amazing!!! God works in so many ways that we don't even realize. But, I completely understand how you feel and no, it's not bad of you to feel that way. We're all human, sometimes I think more than we care to admit. I'm very happy for all of those that get their BFP's as well, but it does hurt, each and every time. I think it's kinda like , " Well, what about me ? " Especially after TTC for a good period of time. Yeah, it's frustrating to see a newbie to come on one week, and be pg the next. ( Please no offense to Newbies ) It's just a fact that it hurts those of us that have been here a while and so desperately want to get our BFP's too. So, yes, I COMPLETELY understand where you're coming from and it's not wrong--- just human nature and emotions.

I'm sending tons and tons of ~~~~~~~~AFSA~~~~~~~~AFSA~~~~~~~~AFSA~~~~~~AFSA~~~~ and <<<<<<>>>>> Heat <<<<<<< Heat >>>>>>> vibes for you!!!!!!! I hope it works.

Take care!!!! Talk to you soon!!!!
