Hey all--quiet board is right! I've been totally off the plan since we left on Friday morning, and am not getting on the scale till Friday morning...and even then I expect it to be up--I ate HORRIBLE and did not exercise. I get out of the routine when I go somewhere, and all of the sudden, restraint is out the window,…

Well, I was doing well till after dinner. Then I just HAD to have some fudge tracks....with a three cookie chaser. Ooops. Hubby says I'm on vacation and not to worry about it. I told him to tell that to the scale when I weigh in tomorrow morning. Haha. I've got friends who swear by the acupuncture too. I've never tried it…

NOOOOOOOOO! I don't believe it yet, till AF shows, but still, my heart hurts just for that awful limbo place you are in. Ugh. Good luck...I wish I had some coping strategies to share that didn't involve fudge tracks ice cream or fat/carb loaded goodies...but that's just where my mind is right now. (Note: My mind....I've…

Bye Heather! So sorry to see you go--for us! Happy as all get out for you! AFM: Today is one of those days. Clom-ID is getting to me, I think. Par for the course.I was so tired last night, went to bed, couldn't get up this morning, didn't exercise, and just feel BLAH. I'm trying really hard to turn myself around, because…

"Up to 12 glassess of water so far today......" [/quote] !!!! Wow--way to go.Pam!

Hey all! I was under my calories today--felt like a win. Went over to my friend's house tonight--she's had twins through IVF. It was a good talk. No great revelations or anything, but it was good to talk to someone who has been there and just get some of the stuff out. No crying, which I thought was pretty remarkable. I'm…

Thanks Pam!

WHOA! It's MARCH! We need a new thread! Where's Pam? :wink:

Hi all! Update: Today was a good day---just not food-wise. Ugh. Today was what I call a Clom-ID "snarfing" day. (You guys remember Snarf from Thundercats? Let me age myself a little there....) They are tricky because one minute I'm totally in control, and the next, I'm stuffing whatever is in front of me in my mouth. Today…

Sticky bean! Sticky bean!!! YAYYYYY HEATHER!!!!!!! So. happy.for.you!!!!!!! I'm doing a little happy dance...happy dance....happy baby dance.....

I'm with Erica--at this point, I'll take a baby whenever I can get one! BUT, I will say that we didn't start trying last year until after our due date would have gotten us through the holidays. If we get prego this month (unlikely) we are looking at a Dec due date. Like I said, I'll take it if it happens! All of our family…

Thanks Ash--the answer is different for every couple. It's figuring out what OUR answer is going to be that is hard, of course. With Joshua, I went off the patch and two weeks later we were pregnant. Hows that for ironic? We didn't know how good we had it! That's part of the reason this whole process has been such a…

Katie and Erica--hugs...that stinks. Heather and Ashley--hang in there! Everyone else--keep on trying!! AFM:Did not have a very fun time at the Drs office today for my Clomid check. 100 mg of Clomid making me act like a crazy woman, and my progesterone level results from day 22 was 0.9. Yikes. Lower than the month before.…

YAY KT4AU!!! It's about time we have a BFP around here! I'll tell you exactly what we tell everyone with a BFP light line--IT'S STILL A LINE! YAYYYY!!!!
-
Just heard from the Dr's office. No ovulation this month according to the progesterone levels. I didn't get the number from the nurse, but I guess that means it was still really low. I'm not sure if that feels like good news or bad. A little of both, I guess. I was so sure it happened this month with the positive OPK and…
-
Heather--, let me get this straight--you are fighting the evil clom-ID, and haven't gained any weight this time, but you just couldn't resist peeing on a stick a few days early? Cut yourself some slack--I still call that a win. Most of us can't keep from peeing on sticks early, even without the added "I need instant…
-
Hi all--definitely not my month, but that's okay--I actually already have a 11-11 birthday--that's my son's birthday, but 2008, not 2011. (Thanks for holding out hope, Heather--I hope you can still go for it!) But, today was much better--I feel the fog of disappointment lifting, as I knew it would eventually, and didn't…

I've given up some foodie thing for Lent each year for the last few years. One year it was fried foods, another it was ice-cream, chocolate, etc. This year I'm giving up white flour. I think it will be a challenge, but I think it will be a good awareness exercise. I'm still going to eat 100% whole grain flours, but no…

Update: I told my parents. Couldn't figure out how to, so I wrote them an email. I just couldn't find the words to say, so I decided to write. Got a call 5 minutes later (that was fast), and they asked if they could bring a pizza over for dinner. So, they came over and we ate pizza and played with my son, and talked some…

Hey all. Well, I am out for the month. I'm still spotting, and expect AF to show up in the next few days. I still can't believe I started spotting on CD 19. What the Heck. So, yesterday was just a really crappy day for me. It slowlu morphed into my monthly day of grief, I guess, as the reality really set in. I didn't sleep…
-
You are still in the game Erica! I'm going to be positive for everyone else, because this morning, I just feel like a pessimistic pile of poo. I started spotting yesterday. Cycle day 19!!! What is up with that? For a few brief seconds, I was like "Implantation bleeding?!" and my heartrate jumped. But I think it's a bit…

Sending positive vibes your way Ash--hoping your IUI went well!!! As for me, I got a WONDERFUL surprise--hubby came home late last night and told me that he was taking Friday off to stay home and help me watch all the nieces and nephews. What a wonderful gift!!!! And so, today is really busy...but it's going well. So much…
-
Erica--I just want to give you a hug. Hang in there....we all will survive the 2WW one way or another, one day at a time. And we'll worry about whatever shows up at the end of that when it gets here. Or, I keep telling myself that. I've decided that Comid just makes my ID run rampant. You guys know what I'm talking about?…
-
Well, I"m just praying that hubby and I hit the right "window" because we are both sick of BDing. (Who would have thought.) We have given it our best shot for this month, and I am done. There will be only sleeping tonight and I will enjoy every second of it. Last night I ate 3 frosted sugar cookies. Talk about feeling out…

Yay for Wayne State Law School!!!

Ash--I'll do a special little dance and send positive vibes your way at 9 am on Friday--as I'm chasing around 4 kids!
-
Yay Ash!! Andrea- Durn it! Well, it's a good thing I get along with my parents and my in-laws because the both live less than an hour away. It's great that we get to see them so often, and my son has a different sort of relationship with them than I did with either of my sets of grandparents because of that. Neither of…
-
Ooo--Ash, I love those flowers! So exotic! Andrea--still getting negatives, or are you waiting a few more days? I can't take the suspense! Hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day. I did eat the cake...and it was very niiiice. I'm having to take some of it to other people today...one way or another it was not staying on…

Okay, I just have to get this out. Heather--your former trainer is 1) an insensitive clod 2) doesn't know how to make a good joke on FB 3) is desperately needing more training clients and is horrible at his recruiting efforts. Whether it is one or all of those, that was just plain unacceptable--knowing my "mouth" while I'm…

Cycle day 14--and I got my double lines on the OPK! I was so excited, I almost peed myself again....except that I had just used an OPK, so that wasn't really happening...and well, that was just probably TMI. Oh well. It's really funny, so much excitement over a positive on an OPK. It's not a pregnancy test, but at least it…
