Lol Library, that would have been almost too weird if that *was* one of the names on your list. The weird thing is it's not on our list and we don't know anyone named that and I haven't seen anyone on TV or anything...I have no idea why that particular name came up.

Update here - I'm starting to freak out about the donor thing. I'm worried that I'm getting too attached to the idea of the new donor for a lot of reasons and I'm not positive yet if it can work. I mean I felt that way about our current donor too, til we were actually there insemming. Probably because we were at first waffling between two donors for a couple years. And the first one had been telling us for years that any time we needed or wanted it, he'd be willing to donate. But then we asked him, he was all "woah, I need to think about this!" and he told me he WAS ready to go ahead, so I went on clomid, but then he didn't get his STD tests done and was all "I need coordinating excel spreadsheets of your projected ovulation dates for the next 6 months!" and after all that he wasn't willing to do it that cycle, yet admitted he had NO logical reason, and said he'd be ready for the next. But by that time I was too upset about the way it was handled to even want to. So yeah, that's why I'm nervous and probably will be up until I'm actually insemming with anyone else besides the donor we're using now since I've been through it and trust at least the insems will continue to work.

Coco~ Thank you!!!! I was having feelings that something was different this time, but I didn't want to let myself believe it. I know there could still be troubles, though I hope not, but it's nice for once to know that the things I felt were true.

And it was a ridiculous amount of cm. For real.

[2ezforyou]

[indigoscot]

I got a BFP tonight a 11DPO! DW and I are so excited! Now we'll have to wait a few weeks to see how many are in there, as I had two mature follicles! I will have the first beta done on Monday!

It's even more exciting because DD was born a week after my birthday and this baby will be due a week before DW's birthday!

[Miss Scarlett]

2HappyMamas--- WHOA and the baby train has started!!!
WOOT WOOT!!!



Library-- (cracking up about "for real")


AFM--I had my first acupuncture appt today and it was AMAZING. She is a perfect fit, so informative, and gave me a lot of validation that we are doing things right. She had me pegged right away, and was so helpful. It was super relaxing (although I had to keep telling my brain to shut up b/c I kept thinking "This is *SO* cool!") Anyway, to those of you that suggested it THANK YOU, I really feel like I have an ally in this whole crazy process now, and I am so excited to see where it takes us. She wants to see me again the night before we insem, so here's hoping my eggy holds off a few days until after the funeral.

[BunnyLullabye]

Wow 2happymamas congrats!! That is so cool about the timing too.

broc broc

Scarlett I'm really happy your accupuncture treatment went so well. It's so great that you have someone you're really connecting with, and that you're getting that affirmation.

Oh and Library and 2happymamas should I move you to the grads section?

[Coco99]

2HappyMamas !!!!!!! Whoohoo !!!!!!!

I knew we would get to be on the Q&P thread together someday ;-)

Verry happy for you ! And Colette will be a big sis !!

How many more are testing ? This is an exciting thread right now !!

[BunnyLullabye]

I'll be testing Saturday. I meant to today, but kept forgetting to go to the store for more tests. But I'm about 99% sure I'm out for this cycle. Hopefully AF will hold off long enough to see if we can coordinate with the new donor, or make plans again with the current one.

[escher]

2happymamas: Hooray! Congratulations!

Bunny: Hopefully you'll get a great surprise tomorrow! I understand about not wanting to get too attached to a donor until you know if it will work. I hope somehow things become clearer with that very soon (if it is needed!).

Scarlett: I'm glad you like acupuncture so well. I like it a lot too. And I've heard some amazing stories about how it helps people get pregnant!

Max: What did your RE say about the spotting?

AFM: I've made an appointment to see a chiropractor on Monday (under Brill's theory that maybe being well aligned will help me get and stay pregnant). On the one hand, I'm excited to have something new to try. On the other hand, I have a hard time knowing when adding something new to my TTC regimen is useful and when it is just obsessive. I just want it to work...

Congrats 2happymamas!!!
:ba nana

Stick stick stick!!

Bunny, can you add my due date please- 2/4/11. Thank you!

[gumshoegirl007]

Whoo hooo!!! It's so very exciting around here. A BIG CONGRATS to LibraryLady and 2happymamas!!!!

What a fabulous way to kick off your weekends. Gotta love a BFP! All the best on your preggo journeys.

AFM, we're on vacation - one week with each of our respective families. Lots of driving. I'm really exhausted and wish I could stay awake for any stretch of time. 30 minutes awake followed by 30 minutes of napping. I wonder what it's going to be like when I return to work next week!

[LibraryLady]

YAY 2 MAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll bet you're even happier now!!!!!!!!! And at 11 dpo too, wow! Now I'm wondering how soon I might have seen it had I been stick-peeing earlier. And that's SO WONDERFUL about the birth timing~ the perfect birthday present!!! Our EDD is April 15, so a good tax-day reminder. That's also three days after my sister's birthday, so I'm sure she'll throw a fit about me stealing her thunder

Thanks for all the dancing smilies!! They're so funny and I'm so excited to see them.

Scarlett~ Thanks for the extra helping of sheep. For real! I'm glad your accupuncture went well. Where did they stick you? And what did they say it would do? I've never had accu before and really know nothing about it.


Indigo~ Thanks for the confidence and the not-jinxing I felt different this time, but I didn't want to believe it was true.


Escher~ Keep us posted about the chiropractor as well. I don't remember that part in the Brill book, but I"ll go and try and look it up. I want it to work for you too. You're part of Team Amanda, eh? I'll send you some more of our AMANDA POWER!!

Bunny~ Let us know what you find out. It ain't over til it's over! And don't move me to grads just yet. We'll go to the doc for bloodwork on Monday~ I'll report back and then you can move me.

I still can't believe it. I peed on another stick this morning just to watch the lines come up. And I'm feeling kinda barfy, but I don't know if it's just psychosomatic. My temp went back down to 97.73 again this morning, who knows what that's about, but I figure as long as it stays above the line, we're doing okay. Stick little bean!!!!!

[painefaria]

I spend a day driving through Conn. and look what happens!

What a birthday present Library
2happy mamas -
I am so very happy for you lets give lots of for

Bunny - you can move me to waiting to O.

Max I here you with the little bit of depression. This is the first time that we have tried and I have not gotten a pregnant. So it is a little depressing but on an up note I had asked the universe to not get pregnant if the baby wasn't going to stick around so I am okay with the BFN. Especially if it means a healthy baby and pregnancy the next time. Because honestly, I can't do this almost 12 weeks of pregnancy and lose the baby thing again

Library - I would recommend stopping to temp. You will just drive yourself crazy. Your temps will start to fluctuate normally and there is no pattern, some days you will be up and some days you will be down. There is no need to add more stress and really you deserve a break from the temping right

[LibraryLady]

Gumshoe~ forgot you, sorry! Enjoy your napping vacation, and thanks for all your confidence!!

[solejean]

Library: Congratulations!!!

2happy mamas: Congratulations!!!

I'm so happy for both of you. Hopefully this indicates a string of wonderful BFPs.

Things sure are hopping around here.

[LibraryLady]

Painefaria~ Thanks for your words of wisdom (you're right, I don't need extra stress! I wonder how long it will take me to break myself of the temping habit, though ) I'm sorry you don't get to join us on this month's bandwagon, but I'm glad you're so philosophical about it. I can't imagine what you've been through but can certainly understand you not wanting to go through it ever again. It will happen for you. xoxooxoxx


Solejean~ Thank you! I hope this does start a chain reaction of awesome!

Also, I just noticed the Star Trek smiley. That's so excellent! I'm a lifelong Trekkie (I'm even named after Spock's mother!)

[carmen358]

BIG congrats, LibraryLady and 2happymamas!!!!

[maxK]

2happymamas- CONGRATULATIONS!!!






(parade inspired by Library)


painefaria- I can't imagine the pain of having a m/c, I know it is very common though. It must be heart breaking. I am glad to hear your positivity with trying again. I read the article that was posted here a few days ago about miscarriage. It recommends trying again as soon as you feel comfortable. It said your chances of getting pregnant again are higher the closer it is. I hope that is encouraging to you to keep trying!

AFM- The RE is suggesting to add an Estrogen patch to my regimen. She thinks the spotting might be hormonal. I'm a little weary but I'll try it. I think no one really knows what it is. I will try to exercise more bc I have been really lazy lately; it may help regulate.
She also changed the brand of progesterone I was using bc the other one made me itch I'm going to ask her to try Clomid this cycle, even though she said there are many studies out there saying Femara is just as safe or even more than Clomid.
