Hi Ladies,

Well, AF never showed up for the past 2 days off of the Progesterone. So following doctors orders I called for blood test. Haven't gotten results back yet. Not feeling very confident because even though I didn't sleep well last night my temp was down really low today. And as it just so happens, as soon as I get to work after taking the blood test I start to spot.

I keep praying that this is it and it wont get heavier and the test comes back very positive. But I also know it's just wishful thinking. I mean why doesn't anything go easy for me? This is going to be one hell of a long day.

Thank you ladies for your continued support.
Congrats to those of you who have gotten lucky this month and have seen a BFP.
So sorry to those of you who have seen AF and onto next month...I will most likely see you there.
And Good Luck to those of you in the TWW!

Bens10: I am a believer in prayer. But I have to admit in times like these, after this long of praying for a sticky bean and getting my THB, it makes it very hard to keep believing. But I still do.

Sorry AF arrived for you. Looks like we might be cycle buddies next month.

nharty09: They have said in the past to always ask your mom and siblings what their pregnancies were like because most likely you will go through the same thing.

Just a quick update; I have to run out this morning, but I'll be back to catch up.

This week would have been the due date of our first pregnancy loss. Ironically yesterday I got a VERY faint but BFP, and today it is darker to a faint BFP!!

I am 13DPO and hoping like crazy this one stays put!!

SOO excited... SOOO nervous!

Be back soon!

HI ladies! sorry I have been MIA. it's been so crazy busy but that's good because I am in the TWW so it passes more quickly

lolo- I am so sorry it seems AF is knocking at your door. I pray she stays away!

Talula-Congrats! praying your lines continue to get darker

Holly- Keep your chin up! I have these days often too. This journey has been changing me. I have not been as happy as I used to be before we started this in November 2013. lots of BFN's and 2 miscarriages. Fx your BFP is coming!

Nharty and Margie-Good luck!

Kelly- I use a digital OPK and this cycle I had 4 days of positives! I called my nurse and stumped her. I had my IUI and was still getting positives after so I was upset we probably missed the egg if I didn't ovulate until 3 days later. So I don't know if I am 6 DPO or 3 DPO. So frustrating. But I am glad you finally got your crosshairs!

Holly-I'm so sorry. Maybe switching to injectibles with the clomid will help you ovulate. Also, my RE has me on Femara now and it seems my body reacts better to it. I got my positive back in January on it and just took my second round so we will see what happens with this one. But I am with you on the IVF. We pay everything out of pocket so we will not be able to go that route if it these IUI's don't work.

Bens-So sorry AF arrived

AFM- I am either 6DPO or 3 DPO. Had a positive on my OPK, went for IUI the next day and still continued to get positives for 2 more days after! Not sure what happened there but praying we didn't waste $500 and missed the egg. BBT is jumping up nicely so that's encouraging. I get to start the lovely progesterone suppositories tomorrow so let the symptom spotting begin! Hope everyone is doing well!

Well, it's official. Test came back negative and is here.

Waiting to hear back from doctors office on what's next. Most likely going to give me numbers for the referrals to the advanced fertility specialist.

I keep having mini breakdowns or crying fits today. I feel so bad for my brother. He witnessed a breakdown this morning while at the office. I made a comment that I was leaving early because I wasn't feeling well and he just had to ask what was bothering me...and I lost it. Well, at least it was just him. But still, he had no idea I have had 2 m/c's or that we were on our 3rd IUI. That will teach him to ask in the future.

Anyways, I guess I am onto next month. My hubby always wanted to have a baby for his bday. Maybe we will get lucky.

Oh Lolo I'm so sorry! You really have a tuff day. Sometimes it is good to let people close to you know whats going on. Then they can understand and support you in your struggles. We informed all family and close friends of our ectopic pregnancy. It really helped to have their support. And I can't wait to see their reactions when we tell them I have a bun in the oven (if it all goes well this time).
Sending you strength!

Lolo - I'm so sorry hun. *hugs* I can totally understand the break downs. I hope you feel better soon. I hope the advanced fertility specialist helps you get you THB.
Sometimes it's good to let the people around you know what's going on. I hope your brother will be supportive from now on.

So sorry Lolo

Oh, lolo. I'm so sorry!!! God, we really don't understand why we are the ones you have chosen to be on this journey, but we trust in Your plans. I pray peace over our broken hearts, and strength to see this through. Let our trials become testimonies, Lord. We need you to help us through this because we sure aren't doing well on our own! Your word declares nothing is too hard for you! This is extremely hard for us, so please take our pain, anxiety, and distrust and make us whole in You. In Jesus Name, amen...

I needed to pray for myself and I hope this prayer helps you other ladies that are in this difficult time with us!! I just got totally emotional to my husband and broke down telling him I am afraid of the weekend because this is when normally shows her ugly face and I don't know if I can do this again. I'm in tears just typing about it!!! Maybe, just maybe, it's my hormones because I'm pregnant, not because af is about to show.

So thankful for all you ladies on this journey together. Having someone who understands the pain makes it easier.

Lolo - take my hand. Let's go to the next cycle together. Cycle day 1!!
This is our month!

Lolo, I'm so sorry. I feel horrible, we must have posted at the same time earlier. Big hugs
