Hi Ladies! How are you all doing this week?

Happy belated birthday dixieheart! Im glad to hear you enjoyed it :]

Dh had his appointment today. It was interesting. I hated the doctor. He was very mean and we were only in the office for all of five minutes. Basically all he told us was he can refer dh to a semen test and if that comes back positive then it ends there and it will be all my problem. I thought that was kinda insensitive and rude. He made us feel like we were just wasting his time and he was trying to hurry us out. He didn't even ask if we had any questions. He gave us the referral/prescription to get the SA done. Thankfully we will never have to go back to him even to read the results. So he takes his sample into my doctors office for testing Friday morning. Then we just wait for the results. And my appointment with the RE is the 23. This whole experience today has got me nervous to meet my doctor :/

How is the tww going for you ladies? Af is almost over for me and then I'll be waiting to O.

Sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience with your doctor Lizhaley. I must admit our fertility specialist was rather brusque. I think they are under so much pressure from so many men and women that they just get down to business. Very no nonsense. I did feel we were in capable hands though. In fact, we discovered later we saw the head fertility specialist, everyone else's boss!

Nothing much of note is happening with me. I am 12 (or 10) dpo depending on which day I actually ovulated. I am going with the earlier one at the moment because I prefer it :) It does seem to follow the pattern better as well. Anyway I have had creamy cm every day since 4dpo which is not so commmon for me, but of course that is a result of progesterone and my level was so high that is understandable. Today I start looking out for spotting

Hi Shelob glad to hear all is going well with you! How is that tww going? Sorry to hear about your experience. We haven't met our fertility specialist yet, that was only our referring doctor. Dh should have his results in another 1-2 days. And my appointment is in a week! I have been using this fertile focus and I think I am starting to see a change in the results. They aren't just dots anymore now they are starting to look like slashes and closer together I am about 4-5 days to my suspected ovulation time so we will see soon. I hope you get to see your bfp this month! Hopefully those high levels are a good sign! Baby dust to you!

Hi there. Trying not to get my hopes up too high but my temperature is amazing for 14 dpo! No spotting yet, but once again trying not to get my hopes up due to the great progesterone and unsure about o day. If I ovulated 2 days later then my temps are still good, but not as amazing. Normally it would have started dropping by now but mine are still rising.

It is so hard not to get excited. Must stay calm for another 2 days. Then test Wednesday. If brave enough. Of course, I could start spotting today and all hopes will be dashed. Or I could start spotting on Wednesday if I ovulated later. Argh stupid OPKs!!!

That fertile focus thing does sound good Lizhaley. I should really think about getting out my microscope!

That's great news Shelob! I have my fingers crossed for you. Your temp sounds very positive! I hope you get great news and get that bfp!! How exciting! keep us posted! :]

Good Morning ladies.....

Hope you had a wonderful weekend....

Liz so sorry to hear about your horrible experience with your referring doctor.......I'm sure from here on forward the experience will be much more pleasant. I would definitely start bd with your microscope showing partial ferning....Have you heared about your DH test results as yet?

Shelob sounds like a very good idea to also start using your microscope you've got nothing to lose. Your cycle and temps sounds promising this month...Goodluck I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I'm also waiting to O, DH and I will start with the bd this week.....I'm feeling so excited about this month's cycle.......

Goodluck ladies and Babydust.......

Hi dixieheart good to hear from you again, I was wondering how you had been doing. And thanks at least he was just the referring doctor and not our re! haha No I don't have DH's results yet. I called yesterday but the office closed early for some reason. I will call back today in a few hours. How has your cycle been going so far?

And update for us today shelob?

My temp is still up this morning so I tested. I didn't really have any hope as I started getting some discoloured cm yesterday which indicates I will start spotting soon, and of course the test was negative. Rather disheartening. I still can't tell when I ovulated. Hormone levels were so great. And of course now I don't know if I will be able to do a clomid cycle with this cruise I am going to do. I think I might just miss the window for a blood test beforehand (expecially if AF is slow to come, which it looks like it might be). Sigh. Not feeling the happiest today.

Hi Ladies......

How are you guys doing.....sorry for being so scares, I have been so busy with making baby goodies and the quilt for my friends babyshower in 2 weeks time...so there is no time spare if I want it to be finished in time.....

Shelob really sad news that you will start spotting soon....I can understand your frustration with the clomid while you are on the cruise maybe you and your DH should forget about the clomid this cycle, and just bd anyways...you never know might just be what you need to do the trick.....care free bd, just be2 people loving each other......Goodluck don't stress it you need the break, and it's not going to help if you stressed about the clomid.........

Liz any news yet....how's the wait for O going?

I'm also waiting to O, DH and I have started with bd this week.....I'm really excited about this cycle. I have this calmness in me that just knows God has a
plan and everything is going to work out the way it should.....I have realised all over again how much fun our ttc journey really is.....

Goodluck and Babydust ladies.....

Sorry to hear that shelob. I was hoping this would be the month for you. Has AF started yet? Maybe you o-ed later than you thought and its just too early to test? Fingers crossed for you.

Good to hear from you again dixieheart. Im glad that you have been able to stay really busy with your making things. Sounds like fun.

As for dh's results I called the doctor and they said that I am now going to have to wait until my appointment on the 23rd to get his results. That's okay with me tho because its only 4 days away. I have been trying to use this fertile focus and it is so confusing to me. I have been trying to use it every morning before I eat and two days ago I got my first partial ferning and then yesterday and today nothing and tomorrow is my normal o day. So I think I am going to have to start using opks too or something to be sure I dont miss it.

Hope all is well for you both!
