    Then we decided to go out for lunch and do a little shopping. I got a new dress and a new shorts/cute top outfit....my suitcase now has 7 shorts/tops, 9 dresses and 5 pairs or shoes.....think I packed enough for 7 days??? We went and got pedicures and then did some grocery shopping for her and my son to eat this week.

    enjoy your time in hawaii with hubby alisa. i'm sure all the extra clothes will come in handy. :)

    Well its official Im pregnant. I got my positive result last friday. Thanks to all you ladies for your well wishes and support. I am super happy and yet a lil aphrehensive about embarking on this pregnancy. I really didnt want to stay in this forum to long ( not for you guys!) I will miss your support and positivity. Thanks for listening to me complain and vent. I wish you all the very best and hope you too move on from this forum. Cheers :drinker:

    Okay ladies. I have an update from our appointment.

    So, today was our first appointment with the fertility clinic.There is only one in our province and for IUI or IVF that's where you go.

    So we were going in with the plan to set up our IUI and COH (controlled ovarian hyper-stimulation) protocol for October. We sat down with the doc and the first thing she did was take the temp charts out of the chart and give them back to me. She said since I'm not pregnant they obviously aren't helping me and are more than likely adding stress. She said if it was going to help I would be pregnant by now, but in our case they aren't benefiting anyone. She told my husband to hide my thermometer! Same deal with OPKs - if I'm not pregnant yet then they aren't helping. She it's good to know that I ovulate on my own but, at our age, with our knowledge of TTC and the tools we had at our disposal, I should be pregnant by now.

    Ok. Well - she's straight forward!

    Anyway, she reviewed my history and her biggest concern is my uterus (it's bicornuate) and my 3 miscarriages. She said with every miscarriage your risk of having another one increases. BUT she discounted my last one since it happened before the 5 week mark (as far as increasing the odds goes).

    So, given my inability thus far to sustain a pregnancy and the hard time I have getting pregnant in the first place, we are moving straight to IVF. Bypass IUI and COH, don't pass Go, don't collect $200.00. Instead, we're paying a lot more than that!:tongue:

    She feels this is the best route for us, and the clinic's success rate is 65%. So, that's the plan.

    We have to wait a couple of cycles to start because of the Clomid and m/c, so AF is due any day now, so then I wait until my next cycle starts and call to start. We should be starting in early October and doing the transfer in November.

    So there you have it; it's not what I was expecting but I'm processing and I'm feeling okay with it. So is my husband.

    But I put a huge dent in the bottom side of the car getting out of the parking garage....:cry:

    Taldie: YAY! Congratulations! :)

    Alisa: That sounds fan-sticking-tastic. I hope you have a wonderful time :)

    Jalara: Well, I'm glad you are doing okay with everything... Fingers crossed for everything working out ASAP.

    Thinthought: Welcome. And fantastic goals. :)

    AFM:

    Last week's goals: Uh... not so much. Positives: I did not touch that vending machine even once! I did drink soda, but only on 1 day. And I drank enough water everyday, but a couple of days I didn't hit my 72 oz goal. And I took my vitamins... so that was good. Negatives: No actual, intentional workouts... I made healthier choices as far as taking the stairs, walking longer, etc... but I didn't work out.

    This week's goals. 1. Drink 72 oz of water each day. 2. Stay within calorie counts AND actually eat healthy food. 3. Actually go to the gym and work out at least 3 days this week. 4. Make a doctor's appointment.

    So... this week is really not starting out great. AF came - again - I started exactly 10 days after my last period ended, which would put my entire cycle at 14 days. And on top of that, it's ridiculously heavy and I'm completely exhausted, and very irritable. So fantastic. And I'm up half a pound this week. UGH. That is why I need to make a doctor's appointment. I've had 4 14 day cycles in a row... and the cycle before all of those started was roughly 90 days (I wasn't counting specifically at that point). I have never been particularly regular, but I've also never been THIS irregular, and it's worrying me. But, on the positive side, my husband and I sat down and had a discussion about when we wanted to start TTC. Because of unrelated health problems that I have, pregnancy in general will be difficult on my body and that will be even worse if I am too heavy to start out with. So, I have to continue on the weight loss plan. However, my husband feels like getting to my goal weight isn't necessary (he thinks that 106 lbs sounds too skinny). So that's a plus. That would mean, if I can actually stay on track, that we can start trying in like March or April. Unless, of course, my doctor says otherwise. So we'll see. Anyways, I should get going. I hope you all have a great week. :)

    YAY Alisia!!! Have such a great time - with all the time you spend away from your hubby, you deserve to have the time you do have with him be as magical as possible!!

    Congrats again Taldie!!!

    Jalara - you at least have a course of action now - It's a little scarier, but it gives you more control than some of the other options and this way the doctors can monitor right from day 1!

    AFM: I slept most of Saturday. Sunday I went to a baptism for my friend's little boy...he's such a peach! Today was relatively productive except I forgot to weigh in this morning. Today is CD10......Only 9 more days till I get to start my protocol and can I tell you I'm ravenous ALL the time!!!! I don't know what's going on with me....and it's not sweets like normal. It's good things like carrots with vinegarette & cucumber salad - so sour and salty.....Tomorrow is my bloodwork follow up for my anemia and then I'm supposed to get a return call from the clinic about Wednesday's appointment......hope we don't have to do it, but we've come to terms with it.....

    Taldie- Congrats..so happy for you guys!!!

    Alisa- Yay....have a blast!!!!!

    Jalara- Glad you were able to talk to a specialist although you didn't hear what you wanted :( However, you still have options which is great news! So I'm keeping you in my thoughts!!! I'm going to be starting the Shred with you soon. Still haven't healed however I will have have to modify it a little, and when I am healed....I will do the full work out according to the 40 days you suggested! DB said he will join us although he is not on MFP!!!

    FitterPam- Hope you appt goes well!

    Newleaf- It sucks that your periods are that irregular. My friend went to a doctor for that because she was all over the place. She met with a naturopath and it turned out to be that she didn't have enough estrogen in her body. So she started applying a hormonal cream he gave her....and has been regular since. I hope you are able to figure out why you are irregular and its an easy fix! You great goals this week by the say!!! I think I should follow you goals!! LOL

    AFM- After the rough road from my damn wisdom teeth....i was able to nibble on food on Day 8, now its Day 10 and I'm on soft foods finally.All because I looked like a chipmunk cuz i was so swollen that I couldn't bite down unless I wanted to eat my cheeks!!! So now I have to try and maintain the weight I lost now that I'm eating again. I should be getting my period any day now, and I'm confused about whether I want to be pregnant or not this month. I want to be pregnant for obvious reason, however I didn't expect to be on pain killers for 6-7 days and now on anti-biotics for another 10 days. Not sure how bad that is if I turn out to be pregnant. My doctor said it was safe to get them out....but never anticipated the rest. The roots grew into the bone so they had to drill my bone to get them out....there fore all the extra issues.

    I guess I shouldn't worry about it cuz it will only stress me out even more.

    Sorry Ive been absent though this week.....Hope everyone is doing well and still catching up!!!! <3

    Thinthought- Welcome! You are not being impatient, I would go in and get your blood checked, although it doesn’t show everything it will give you some important information and a potential starting point to help figure what is going on.

    Kimberly, Stephanie- Good losses!

    Julia- Huge smile!

    Alisa- Oh my goodness!!!!!

    GBOH- happy anniversary!

    Jalara- Sounds like you are being very flexible and handling the shock well! That is crazy your Dr. is so straight forward but it sounds refreshing. I’m sorry you dented your car :o(

    Beth- UGGH, crappy cycle I’m sorry. Definitely talk to your doctor. I’m glad you were able to able to through with your husband and come to an agreement on when to start TTC. I don’t know how tall you are but even 112 seems very low- How are you picking your goal weight?

    Pam- I hope you don’t have to do the appointment either, but you will do great.

    AFM- I had my annual today. As planned I brought my temp calendar and talked to the doctor about my fear that I’m ovulating late in my cycle. Showed him my numbers and he agreed to put me on progesterone to help lengthen the second half of my cycle. The plan is to start taking in 4 days after I ovulate until day 32 take a pregnancy test and if it is negative go off the progesterone and repeat the next cycle. Basically he confirmed my fears I have been having that I may have been getting pregnant but the egg didn’t have enough time before AF started- would explain the random 32+ day cycles (I’ve had 4 since we started TTC three years ago. Also accompanied by throwing up on one of those, and AF was always longer and more uncomfortable those cycles) He said there is no way to confirm that those we early MC but they could have been. So we are going to try this for 4 months (along with adjusting our BD timing) and see what happens and then check back. I’m happy to have some TTC movement but I am nervous it is going to through off my regular cycles and I’m not sure of all the side affects. Anyone else on progesterone?

    Luki: I am VERY short. I'm 4 foot 9. I picked my weight by trying to figure out what 22 in BMI would be. I think I am going to ask my doc what a healthy weight would be for me, and then go from there. Since I have to make an appt any way. :)

    Wow, congratulations Taldie! It's funny but I feel a huge excited rush when I see someone "bump" out of this forum :0) Guess it reignites that hope to be next! Thank you guys for your support regarding me and hubby's squabble. It prompted a good talk and we know we're both gonna have to give and take on this journey--but we also promise to have more fun! Lol
    So my main goal this week was to get my sugar intake under control, I didn't even realize until MFP that it was so nuts! But by super analyzing what I was eating I actually way under ate on calories every day this week...I didn't mean to, but was juggling too many numbers---secretly hoped I'd see a big weight loss this week cuz of it but nope! Gained 1.4--oh well, Goal this week is to refocus on the five small meals a day, *meeting both cals and sugar. And since the lil' gain bummed me out I made 3 appts this week with the ol' trainer!
    A question for you guys.... I just started charting this month and thought I was being pretty consistent but I'm on cd24 and haven't peaked. My cycle is between 25-30 days so I'm scared I'm not ovulating--but as I was googling around I noticed my temps are also really low varying between 96.9 and 97.3. Before starting TTC though I did my round of doctor and dental visits with two different rounds of bloodwork and they said my thyroid looked good. Any thoughts on this? I'm a tad freaked out..Also, all negs on the opks-boooo
    Hope everyone had a good Monday though, with happy weigh-ins!!!

    Honey- I would continue to track and get the data and then make an appointment with your dr. It might be an off month or this might be something for the doctor to explore. At this point even if you ovulate you are in the same boat as me and ovulating too late in your cycle (unless this cycle goes long). Your dr. Will most likely want more than just one month of info. As far as low temps my temps run low too generally around 97.3 pre-ovulation but jump into 80-83 range post ovulation. Try not to stress too much because that will throwoff your cycle. It is hard to see you pattern the first month because you have nothing to compare it to yet.
    Beth- wow you are so ambitious!!! I have never thought I could get to bmi 22 I was so happy to squeak into the "healthy range" with is a 25 :0)

    Hope everyone had a good day! Looks like we've all been busy. I went and picked up the pills today. Still a bit nervous but hoping it will do the trick. Had a bit of a crying break down last night. Just hard to take in that I've probably had 4 mc. Not to mention just an overall hard day with my coworker bringing his new born into work and then the Dr. Office full of pregnant people (some looking very happy and another complaining to the receptionist about having to take her prenatal vitamins when she has morning sickness). I was strangely embarrassed to share all this with my husband I think I just wanted to down play my sadness to him so he didn't feel bad and not have a way to "fix it.". Like a typical man he likes to find solutions to problems and has a hard time when I get emotional about ttc because there isn't a "fix" to how I'm feeling. Today was much better and I'm ready to move forward and give this a try. I think to help myself emotionally I need to restart my clock on ttc. Since it seems my luteal phase hasn't given me a true chance to maintain an egg to implantation I think I'm going to restart my ticker and count this as month one. :wink:

    Luki, I think restarting your clock is a great idea! I totally understand about your hubby wanting to fix things. I have made "sweety, I love you, please don't try to give me a solution, I just want to you (fill in black here ie: hold me, listen, kiss me...)" Generally it is effective.

    GBOH: Happy anniversary

    Jalara: i can't remember if I sent my love your way yet, but if not I am doing that now. You are in my prayers! That's got to be real tough but it's good to know that now you have a plan of action!

    AFM: at camp I had cramping and 1 day of spotting, so I was thinking it may be implantation bleeding (would have been about the right time frame) Then this week I got AF :( I initially though "well at least AF is on time and 'normal' this time." But then she stopped so who knows. Camp was very stressful and emotionally taxing so that could have messed things up. I've never attempted to be so darn in tune to my cycle and it's making me a little bonkers.
    On a different note, I get to go home (to CA) in 3 weeks and see all my nieces and nephew. I can't wait! It's been 5 months since I have seen some of them and based off of videos they have grown so much! Have a great day everyone and good luck in your adventures!

    Luki- love your attitude! I have so much admiration for people who can stay positive!

    AFM- still no AF yet, but I've taken about 4 bfn tests. Last night I remembered that when I found out I was pg with my daughter I knew the exact date AF was due and it wasn't til 11 days later that I got a really clear bfp. So I guess we'll see. I'm a little nervous about what to do in the mean time. I signed up for a September challenge and it has some major exercises to do. Oh yeah! Last night my hubby brought home a late birthday present for me- a pearl necklace!! I'm a lucky girl :) happy Wednesday ladies!

    anyone else on progesterone?

    i am taking extra progesterone. it is not too bad except for the bloating. :( last month it was 3 inches in a week and then i lost it; this month it is 4 inches and i can't fit into anything in my closet. *boo hoo* it can be very frustrating, but that is really the only major side effect i get from it and i have to keep reminding myself that it goes away.

    can you call your obgyn and talk to a nurse? if it is something they don't know, they can talk to the doc and have him/her get back to you. i hate having to make doctor's appointments when i don't know if it is a 'serious' question or not.

    Seriously Facebook? How stupid are people? And WTH does break cancer have to do with pregnancy!!!!

    i hate those 'games' on facebook. i don't see how it helps raise 'awareness', nor do i think breast cancer needs additional awareness. how about awareness for prostate cancer or ovarian cancer or colon cancer? those cancers need awareness (but not in the form of dumb facebook let's-fool-the-boys games).

    I think I'm finally getting over my "funk". And in the meantime I got way behind on everyone.

    Alisa: HAVE FUN IN HAWAII, I've never been and always wanted to go! I'm sure you'll have a blast!

    GBOH: happy SUPER late anniversary! Souned like a nice time.

    Taldie: SERIOUSLY CONGRATS! It's nice to see someone not have to be on this forum for too long. As much as we all love each other, this isn't a place you really want to HAVE to be!

    Newleaf: sorry about the irregularity. I'm off myself and it's really frustrating. HUGS

    Jalara: Glad you had fun in Vegas. I really love that place even though I don't drink, or gamble or any of that. And I'm just glad you now have plan that is ready to be put into motion. I know for me, that helps in a lot of situations. I have to admit I laughed a little when I heard what your doctor said about hiding your thermometer and not using anymore OPKs. However, I think I'd have a hard time stopping at this point!

    Pam: *hugs* and good luck on everything

    Honey: Great goals! I need to work on my sugar too. Seriously, it's out of control.

    AFM- AF never came. I'm on CD 58 so...yeah. But only got BFN's. Luckily I do have an appointment with my doc in just over a week. She's a new doctor for me so hopefully she's awesome and can help me out. We knew my husband had a low sperm count, but the bloodwork came back good on me and I never had a reason to think I might have my own set of problems, so I'm getting a little stressed about that which doesn't help either.

    Question on OPK's: how dark of a line would you count as positive? I'm not sure how to read mine. With the PT's I got absolutely no line which is crystal clear, but with the OPKs I've gotton a few faint lines...not sure what that means?

    Hi All, I am hoping I can join in on your discussions and sharing.

    A little about me, I am 33 and my husband and I have been married for 17 months. Neither of us have any children. Everyone says I am crazy but I'd really like twins or triplets, I don't really want to be 65 taking my son/daughter to college....
    We have TTC since February. I am a cancer (thyroid) survivor, and as a result have to see an endocrinologist every quarter, full work up etc. I saw my OB/GYN doc in July, and he said if we're not pregnant in Nov/Dec to call him and he'll send DH to be tested.
    I have lost some weight, but my weight loss has stalled as of recent. We were training for the St Jude half, and I hurt my knee so I can't do much in the form of exercise while I'm undergoing Physical Therapy.

    Not sure what else to write.... I began using a "fertilitiy" app in May, and we are trying the every other day method, AND so far no BFP..

    Looking forward to getting to know every one.
