2Frsty - LOL! i'm glad you snagged DH for a few BD sessions!!!!! haha! hope you catch that egg!

AFM 14/15DPO. symptoms have really dropped off, nothing happening. last dose of progesterone was last night. IC HPT still BFN. so thinking i have to be out. hoping AF comes by saturday so i can get the next show on the road. part of me wants to take off the next cycle, but another part of me will go nuts if i'm not trying! I asked DH and he's up for trying still. this cycle he was depressed for some reason around O time, so he couldn't perform as much as i wanted him to. he thinks he'll be fine next cycle. Plan is likely same dose of clomid, 50mg, and starting progesterone supplementation asap after O.

Firsttime--> Nailed DH again last night after we got home from a much needed date night! I just drunk ! Symptoms still dropping away? I was really hoping for a for you this cycle!

AFM: Had a very + OPK yesterday evening, and a slightly less + again first thing this morning. I've tested twice throughout the day and the test lines are getting lighter. I'm guessing that I O'd today; I'm really flushed and feeling warm. It'll be interesting to see if I've gotten that thermal shift yet! So starts the TWW for me! Praying for

2Frsty - lol yeah sometimes drunk BD'ing can be good, especially around O time. O time BD'ing can sometimes be a lot of pressure and a little drinking really helps let loose :) i hope you did O and catch that egg!

so AF finally started yesterday!! i'm glad so we can get rolling with this next cycle. so will start clomid tomorrow, CD 3-7, 50mg. FX'd i get a shot at 2 eggs again!!

Firsttime--> I'm so sorry about this cycle! I'm hoping that this next cycle will be THE ONE!!

AFM: Well, saw my regular doctor today, who put me on Levaquin (strong antibiotic) and Prednisone (steroid) for this damn sinus crap. Already gone through a round of Azithromyacin and still miserable.

UPDATE: I didn't finish this post before heading to bed, but it's 4:28 and I still haven't been to sleep. The steroids they gave me have kept me up ALL night long! Not to mention that DS has been super restless and since midnight when I went to bed, I've been in there 13 times. Thirteen. But according to DH, I'm not supposed to be frustrated and/or sigh when I can hear him stirring over the monitor. I've actually gotten to see him this morning before work, and I honest to God wished I hadn't. We've already been fighting. He said when I sigh every time he wakes up, it makes him regret having kids with me. Really?! Are you serious?!

wow, sorry DH was being a bear that morning. hope he has apologized or something since! when running on low sleep it's easy to get nasty to each other. hope your sinuses feel better!!!

still spotting, hopefully will be done tomorrow. my follicle scan is next wednesday. hoping to ovulate by next saturday, because i have to go out of town from sunday to monday. just sitting here waiting to O... will hopefully do it in about a week.

I took these this evening, but got busy bathing DS and didn't get to really look at them. Snapped a pic to play with after I got him to bed, and saw VERY faint lines in the pics on BOTH tests; DH can see them too! I'm gonna retest in the morning with fmu...praying I get a strong when I get up! What do y'all think?

I can't see any lines, sorry. I hope they are really there though! Look forward to hearing tomorrow :)

I am spotting for the third day in a row. Two more days till AF is due. Tomorrow I have my specialist appointment where we will talk about IVF. I am excited. I have been REALLY REALLY unhappy the past few days. Lots of meltdowns because people kept asking how I was! Bad question to ask someone who is very emotionally fragile. It was my husband's birthday in the weekend too, and we had family round for afternoon tea. There was nothing I wanted to do less, but I had to make an effort for him. I hate feeling like this. I am hoping that the appointment tomorrow will give me renewed hope and focus. I am finding it so hard to keep up the energy for work and everyday life.

i'm just awful at seeing faint lines. i hope there's a darker one for us to see tomorrow!!

i really hope your specialist appt can give you some answer to help your emotional side be content until you can start IVF!

Turns out they were evaps! Evaps are sent straight from TTC hell! Started having some light crampy feelings last night, and more today. I'm still 6 days away from due date, so I'm hoping that these cramps are implantation cramps! Saw some more faint lines tonight (these within the time limit) tonight, but they're so faint that I'm not even sure I saw them. I could just have "line eye" really bad!

shelob--> How did it go with the specialist? Has the spotting stopped? Try not to be too hard on yourself dear, and don't let anyone else be, either. You're going through a lot right now, and it's completely understandable that you wouldn't be all smiles!

Aw thanks girls :) I had a really good talk to my mother-in-law after the specialist visit and that really helped. I am just so stupidly sensitive. I can't help it and I feel awful about how it might affect those around me and that is what makes it hardest. My mother-in-law also said I need to take care of myself with what we are going through. It is hard knowing that others can't understand it though.

Spotting is continuing. AF due tomorrow. Temp dropped today so definitely coming!

On the bright side, I now know some approximate dates for the IVF!! Apparently it is about a 9 month waiting list at the moment, and our place on the list is backdated to January when we got the bad test results. This means late October we could be looking at it coming up. Three months beforehand we would have an "induction" meeting to look through things and sign consent forms etc. That would be late July probably. That suddenly seems very close! This is good news :) I need to have an AMH done on day two, so Friday. Then my husband will get another semen analysis done in a couple of months. We are very interested to see what happens there as he has been on vitamins for the last month.

2Frsty so sorry about the evaps :( Much worse than knowing you are out for a cycle is the uncertainty of a funny result. I hope the evaps turn into real lines!!
