Part 1 of 2:

Blushing: I totally understand you. You know I was thinking about this a lot lately, and I was thinking about the girls that I know that got pregnant really fast and tried to imagine them if they were in our shoes, I don't know if they would be able to take it. I think god is teaching us some important lesson and we will understand it one day, god gives people what they can handle, I guess some of us can handle tons.
Sorry about all the god talk, you can call it whatever you want, universal energy, the life force behind all of us.
You ladies here are amazing!
I know it is sometimes hard to see people freaking out about like first or second cyclebut for them it is a huge deal and I try to be supportive despite that first twing of resentment.
Most of us don't seek advice for a while knowing that 8-12 cycles is the average for first TTC.
You are such a spiritual person, you know all of this is happening for a good reason, try to surrender to it. I know it is super hard, I keep thinking about all the bad things that happened to me and how they led to amazing things in the end and try to just left it all be, but sometimes the clock and brain get to me (who am I kidding? most time they get to me).
Your time will come, soon!
So when is you next cycle? When is your break over?

Carla: Sorry got you, my DH's bday is in August too, I was hoping for a gift for him as well.

kizzy and spartie: for you!!!! We can use another here .

GVMDL: I am happy you are keeping busy, I miss you here.
I hope you got the egg !

pbc: Thank you for sharing, I wanted some information about thyroid, the blood work I did tested that too.
I understand your approach, I am more into natural stuff because I was on medicine since I was a baby (antibiotics, antihistimines, pain killers, etc), I was sick most of the time until I was 20. So now I try to avoid medicine if I can.
I wish my ovulation was close, with irregular cycles I just never know....
What does the thyroid affect in the TTC process?

stephc: Try to relax and sleep better, I know it is hard sometimes, but even stress like that can delay your ovulation.
you ovulate sooner rather than later and catch that egg !!!

Cristi: on the eggies!!!!! I hope you caught both!!!!
Happy 0DPO!!!!
So you don't even temp this month right? I guess you have to trust your RE, I am sure he know what he is doing!
Yey, can't wait for you !!!!

Part 2 of 2:

acrichton: I hope you got rid of all the tests, they seem to stress you out.
I have my for a very sticky bean for you!
When are you getting the results?

tgpreg: Great job on , catch that egg!

myluckyduck: I it is your month!!! Must be so liberating to finally be alone with DH !

rebecca: I still that you get a this weekend!
and

gds: You sure it is ???

SMC: You are so right, so much going on here, takes me a while almost every day to keep up, but I love it .
, I this is your month and you get to share the news over the holidays!

AFM: CD14, started OPK testing 2 days ago, negative so far, almost no CM so I am thinking late ovulation again.
I am getting all the test results today, a little nervous, and I have my first acupuncture, which I am even more nervous about.
I have been good this week, starting on the weekend I started doing one physical activity or another almost every day (yoga, dancing, walking) and I started breathing excercises a few days ago, all that really seems to help, I am more positive .
Well back to work, have a great day everyone!

koti: Hi dear! I get the results back today at one point. Going to use up my last test this week and that will be the last of them. You are 100% correct, they are a big stress factor, along with temping. Once I get my betas and they doubled, I am going to put my thermometer in the drawer and hopefully not have to look at it until either me or DH as a fever! lol

Are you taking any supplements? Was your period always longer or late ovulation? I am a very late ovulator...usually CD 17-21, its crazy...
and Ovulation dust, lol

Koti: PS I LOVE yoga, keep doing it, I think it helps w fertility

...and how ironic that my nurse practitioner at my OBGYN's office told me yesterday that she goes to the same yoga class as me! I never even noticed her there!

acrichton: for your results!
Good decision with the tests and thermometer , just relax and enjoy your !
I am taking a lot of supplements: selenium, iron, royal jelly, maca, vitamin D, fish oil, prenatals, chlorella, vitamin c, b complex, EPO until ovulation, iodine, and bromelain (pineapple extract) 1-5 DPO. Oh and drink rasberry leaf tea some days. I must sound totally nuts . I am actually taking the list to the neuropathic doctor today to see if I can stop with some of them.
As for ovulation, my cycles have always been all over the place so I guess ovulation changes every month for me, I has a month when I ovulated on CD15, I think this was the earliest I have ever ovulated. Last cycle was CD25. I think normally it is CD17-21. It is annoying because cycles are longer, but it is normal from what I understand.
I love yoga too, and yoga focuses you so much on yourself that you rarely notice others, but now you got a friend there. You still go to yoga?
I actually did yoga at home this week, but I think I will go to a class today or Friday, they have hot yoga and I love hot yoga, can't really warm up my apartment to 97 degrees.

koti- I agree 100% I never say anything negative despite my resentment. If this were 5 years ago, I'm sure I would have been kicked out a long time ago. LOL!
As far as I'm concerned, you NEVER have to apologize for "God talk". And your right, I do know all of this is happening for a good reason. I just admitted to myself that I've learned so much about myself through this journey and for that I'm grateful!
To be honest, I have no idea when my next cycle is. Since they are so whacked out. I haven't been temping or monitoring this cycle so who knows when Iâ??m supposed to O or get AF. My break will end once I get clearance from my RE to bd after the lap on Friday.
I hope acupuncture goes well for you! To be honest, after all this time of doing it, I still get nervous every time I go in. LOL!

acrichton- FX'd for good beta results!! I'm glad you are getting rid of the tests.

AFM- Nothing to report other than being anxious about the results of my lap on Friday!

Waiting on beta...come on Doc! Pick up the phone! lol

@achrichton - is this your second beta or first? Waiting to hear results!

~K

its the first, I know its kinda meaningless, but I will feel relieved if its over 50 (I think, no experience w beta draws)...Im so scared

@acrichton - with lines as dark as yours, there is a good chance it will be much higher than 50. Wen are they going to call you or you call them?
