Taking the Scenic Route...to a BFP - Page 111

[Shell77]

Hi everyone... I have been laying low... depressed

TF: Yaaay so happy for you !! <--- that is 5 for all your babies.

Indie :   Sorry i have been MIA... and UGH sorry for your BFN.. I feel like I am so far behind with everyone !!

Chrissy: Yaaaay Goodluck!! and fingers crossed!!

Gtree: awwww I want to see more sono pic's pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeee

SKJ: thank you for the article.... sorry af is on her way

Dolphin : Good Luck on your IUI

Jpack: did you have a IUI? I am sorry i am so behind forgive me

Sherry: Hey girl heeeeeeeeey ;-)

Sila : Hiiii

AFM: UGH I really Don't really know what to say... I guess the failed IVF hit me really hard, then with the holidays everything has been crazy!! I feel horrible that I havent kept up with everyone as I should ... Forgive me please.... So I have no idea what cd i am on , or if I ovulated, or when to expect af ... lol ... I haven't temped or did any opk's or anything this cycle... but DH and I have BD'ed every other day... or everyday LOL ( we have been like 2 hormonal teenagers) I think I ovulated this past weekend... or last week.. ehhhh IDK.. haha I figure if AF hasn't shown up by Jan 15th I will test.... But I am not holding my breath, I have to remain real with myself from here on out!! Sad story: me and DH were on FB just scrolling and looking at stuff and there was a pic of one of our friends laying on the couch with his brand new baby, and DH said... that is what I want!! I told him I was going to make sure that happens one day!! as I chocked back tears.

So our new years resolution is to make a baby and get healthy. I PROMISE to read everyday from here on out!! <3

Shell, I'm so so sorry you're feeling blue- you've suffered a big loss and I can't imagine the frustration and grief but your resolve is inspiring! Good job on the bd!! I hope you get what you're after in 2013!! I hope we all do... No, no iui for us til next cycle. Big hug from over here.

Indie - Yeah, I tested again this morning even though I knew it would be negative. Waste of a cheapie test. I'm not sure why I feel the need to confirm what I already know. I just wasn't having any symptoms. Big difference from Sept. when I m/c which was the cycle we ttc so I just knew. I've been pg 3 times now and each pregnancy started the same symptoms wise. Re: the ewcm and not sore enough boobs - I don't think anything is "wrong" with you :)

SKJ - No prob ;)

Jpack - Personally, I'm going warn against testing out the trigger. It's crazy making. Absolutely. Crazy. Making. Just letting you know what you're getting yourself into. (for me it was anyways)

Oh, and are you a runner? I mean, because 10k is no beginner stuff! If so, me too :)

Chrissy - Hmm. Well, you know what they say about not trying...

AFM - I'm a crampy hungry bitch. Stay away from me.

ETA - Seeing as we are now on page 111 what does everything think of maybe starting a new thread for the new year? 111 seems like a luck place to stop too lol...

I like it. I don' t check in as often as I would like, a new thread would be great.

[jpack]

Thanks for the advice sila so should I just wait? I'm really bad about testing. And I've been running for a couple years but I have bad knees- I'm not very good! I love it though, especially longer distances and usually run a six-ish mile run every week or two. Then I figured out that a 10k is a little over six miles (slow, I know- just figured it out last week) so now that's my new measurement! But no, I'm not really a runner.

[SKJ2011]

indie - when did you get your BFP with your m/c? I hope it's just too early. I had a ton of EWCM during the tww with DD, so I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.

JPack - thanks for the thoughts on my chart. I had a HUGE spike today, so I'm confident I O'ed. I started the crinone. How many DPO are you now? When do you typically get a BFP? Fingers crossed that the trigger shot is all you needed!

Chrissy - Can't wait to hear about today's test!!

Shell - I'm so sorry for all you've been through. I honestly feel like a failed IVF is the same as a miscarriage b/c your hopes get so high. I think it would be a similar kind of loss. I think it's good that you are just winging it this month. And it sounds like your bases were more than covered. I really hope 2013 is a lucky year for you and DH.

Sila - Sorry about AF. She really does suck. I like your idea about a new thread. let's do it!

AFM - as I said to jpack, I got a nice temp spike today. I had acupuncture yesterday and she said my pre-O temps look good and that I should have post-O temps in the 98's and they should have a saw-tooth pattern. She said I still have some deficiencies, but my chart doesn't look too bad. If this month is not successful, she suggested I do a liver detox. Sounds like an interesting idea. She is changing up my herbs again too.

My current RE (not the specialist) called to ask about next cycle and if I want to go ahead with injectibles. I said yes, tentatively. Since I"m only 2 DPO, I think I should have some answers from the specialist before having to start next cycle. So, the order was placed for the meds and I just need to call when AF starts.

A new thread wouldnt be bad. Got a bfn this morning. Dh saw the bfp last night but neither of us saw it this morning.


More later. On phone.

ETA - I dont get a dark bfp with Fmu. Should I try 2mu?
Edited by MindlessChrissy - 1/3/13 at 8:37am

[SKJ2011]

Try 2mu!! I think it's more concentrated. What Hpt are you using?

Alright ladies, new thread is here: http://www.mothering.com/community/t/1371422/taking-the-scenic-route-to-a-bfp-winter-spring-2013-edition

Please continue posting on the new thread! I feel like this gives us a fresh start and will allow us to more easily go back and keep track of our conversations and will make us less overwhelming to any newcomers wishing to join. I labeled it Winter/Spring and we'll just see how long it goes :) The original thread was started Feb 2012 and was almost a yr old! I hope no one is offended by me starting a new thread without everyone chiming in...

[sherryvhkb]

Goodbye old thread. I think i end here with it. Along the way we've made great friends. Cried and celebrated....and we had over 30000 reads!!! We were mdc famous!!! Good luck everyone. I look forward to staying connected via other places. I think my journey is done.

[MindlessChrissy]

Oh sherry. I know how you feel as i think our journey is over soon, too. Love and hugs to you, my friend.

[SilaMarila]

Sherry please stalk us and at least pop in once in a while! We will miss you!

[indie1976]

[toothfairy2be]

Sherry- i second what indie said. I dont want to lose contact with you!

[SKJ2011]

I third what indie said. You are the heart of our group. Without you, there'd be no scenic route ladies.

Hello all, I'm trying to figure out this site! So, I hope this goes on the scenic route thread! I am 33 y/o (my hubby older ) and on second month of clomid. We have 2 children, 8 y/o girl and almost 3 y/o boy. I am very grateful for the two I have and know I shouldn't feel sad that we have been unable to conceive again for the last year. (it has always been my biggest dream to have a large family and mother 4 or more lol children!) I LOVE kids!! Anyway, last couple years my body started acting funky with my cycle. Then about 6 mos ago after bleeding for 14 days my doc found a 6.8cm cyst in rt ovary. Surgery was scheduled. Do to a sever stomach trauma and scars I was going to have to be COMPLETLY opened up! Well lots of prayers later, day b 4 my surgery we did a final US and there was literally nO sign I ever had the cyst! Thank God! So, doc put me on 2 mos BC then I started clomid. Im now in tww period of second month of clomid. I think I'm 10dpo and that I Ovulated 12/26/12...first day lmp 12/12/12. Feeling extreme nipple and breast pain and some random lower pelvis shooting pains but feeling discouraged and doubtful.. Any words of wisdom GREATLY appreciated!!!!! Best of hope for you all on a BFP! Ps: I'm mostly unfamiliar with all the abbreviations on here, bare with me!

Sherry - hope you make a few appearances to check in.

Everyone - see you in the new 2013 thread.

[MindlessChrissy]

Okay, now I'm at the computer and not my poor phone:

Sherry - You are by far my favorite stalker and I've enjoyed stalking you through the years. I'm with Indie as I don't want to say good bye to you, either. You are the glue that help most of us together. Please hop on the google group so we can still keep in touch with you. I will miss your presence on these boards. Major, massive, huge, and tons of hugs to you.

Thnk - Come join us on the new thread. See you there.
