Congrats Suzanne! I'm super happy for you!
Here's the link to our sister group - the Pregnancy Thread - these ladies are amazing! We're not kicking you out, but these ladies will be great support for you
Congrats again!

Pam - You may not be where you want to be but you are still in the negative for the year and that is a positive
Stephanie – I have only been in GA for about 2 ½ months but I am just about 2 hours from you. I am a little jealous of the spa and sushi treatment
Ashley – if you only gain 1lb on vacation, which is a positive thing in my book!
Jalara – Congrats on the double digits!!!
Alisa – I was a huge NSYNC fan too, very anti BSB but seeing them with NKOTB made it worth it. You better tell DH you are happy for him but if he gets smaller than you, you are going to beat him up
Godbless – Welcome! This is a great group of ladies here!
MrsDec – Enjoy Puerto Rico
Karen – maybe you ovulate late but make sure you do lots of BDing before he leaves and as soon as he gets back!
Ali – Welcome! You are on the right track it appears. You will pick up on the abbreviations in no time
Suzanne – Congrats!! Glad you were only here a short time!
AFM – Well I can’t keep it in any longer, I have to tell someone…we got a BFP!!! I decided to test last Wednesday before I went to the concert. It was very faint and I thought I just might be imagining it. When I got home Thursday afternoon, I tested again and it was a little bit darker, so I decided to tell DH. He didn’t believe me, since the last time I told him, we had the CP. So I tested again Friday morning on 2 different types, they both had lines but still not as dark as the control line. DH still didn’t believe it. I went and bought a digital and almost immediately it came up pregnant! I was still in shock. DH was starting to believe but he said he would believe me on Monday. So yesterday I tested and the line was really dark. Now he believes but is a little freaked out.
It is amazing after thousands of dollars spent on fertility treatments the past 2 ½ years, all it took was 3 months of no treatments and 3 bottles of Fertility Blend. We go to the doctor on July 5th. Since I just moved to town, I am seeing a brand new doc. We actually get an U/S when we go. I will only be 5 ½ weeks but since I was seeing a RE in Tampa, they want to do one. Hopefully this little cupcake sticks. I plan on sticking around for a while and I will be stalking after that. I am still in shock!! We don’t plan on telling anyone until July 16th and then it is just the parents until 12 weeks. I am making homemade fortune cookies to tell them with. I haven’t decided exactly the wording, so if you have any suggestions, let me know! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers this past year! Love you girls!!0 -
Congrats to the TWO BFP's!!!! Glad0
-
So, so happy for you both!! Will be sending lots of positive thoughts (and to everyone still waiting for their BFP of course)
You guys give me hope xx0 -
TWO BFPs!!!! I'm so excited for you all!!!! YAY!!!!
.
I'm so glad I can be happy for those of us when we get BFPs. I count that as a real blessing while I'm dealing with infertility. Each time I can still be so happy for someone while not focusing on my own issues feels good. I hope that it stays that way for me. For those of you who find it a little harder at times....hugs.
Ashley--thanks for the affirmation of the "silver linings". It's something I try to do intentionally. If I don't stop when something bad happens and make myself try to find a "silver lining", I just get dragged further down into the "Oh Crud and Woe is Me" black hole. It seems to help combat it somewhat.
Jalara--thanks for posting the list---WOW, that is quite a list. I don't know half of those.
AFM: Little boy is back on top of the world. "Sick, what's that? I feel fine!". Hubs leaves tomorrow morning super early for his trip. I'm making a list of fun things we can do while he is gone to pass the time. I hope it works! Haha!0 -
Wow two BFP’s! Congrats to the mommy’s to be, sending you lots of sticky vibes and plenty of baby dust to everyone else.0
-
CONGRATULTIONS to both BFP's!!!!
I know i posted initially but have been too busy to post again. I have been keeping up with reading all the posts though! I hope everyone is doing well... And my goal is try and keep up/post more frequently with all of you...
AFM- I am scheduled for my HSG today in about 4 hours... kind of a little nervous about the discomfort, but anxious at the same time b.c i know it means more answers... So fingers crossed for some good news!0 -

I just need to vent for a minute....my husband and I want to TTC, but I'm scared to even try because my BMI is 38 right now. I'm so conflicted....my mind is telling me to wait and be practical until I've lost more weight, but my heart wants to try right away.
I just applied for a weight loss talk show...it's new from ABC (same producers as The Biggest Loser) and I know I should wait until I'm healthier, but.....ugh...I just don't want to.
Anyone else feel this way? This back and forth feeling?
Here's the link to my audition video and you can get a better feel for where I'm at.
Thanks for letting me vent.

July already???? Geeeeez!! June FLEW by!! Ready for the new post! BTW I am changing my weigh in days to Fridays. I know we normally do it Monday's but I'm normally pretty good on the weekends but I know i don't get enough water so i feel like my Monday weigh ins are tainted by water weight...on that note weighed in at 147.8 this morning! That's a 1.2 loss from Monday!!0

((HUGS)) I would suggest just doing what your heart says. You never know, but you may have plenty of time to TTC AND still loose. Best wishes...0 -
Hi all - So glad I found this. My husband and I have been trying to concieve for almost a year now. We done 3 rounds of clomid and 1 hcg injection so far. Hopefully AF will not come next week.
I do have a question for you all though. Each month that I do clomid, I get a horrible stomach ache, bloating and the endless need to eat. Before clomid, I ran every day. Now due to feeling ill most of the time, I rarely workout and continue to eat everything but the refridgerator door.
Any advice on how to power through not feeling well and get back on track with working out and eating healthy?0 -

I haven't had that problem with Clomid, but another lady on here (nickname Kah) has. I think she's away for the weekend but hopefully she'll be able to give you some tips
I hope the Clomid is soon worth all the trouble (for all of us!).0
