hey storm! fmu is first morning urine - i used FRER. bfn. i retested this morning at 12dpo, still BFN. i have given up. now im waiting for AF so i can start a new cycle. that is life.
i love dreams like that. fx, i believe wild dreams are a good sign!!

cocoa - how big do the follicles need to be?

fxfxfxfx for all of you

Oh! haha that is a coincidence all having the "same" birthdays :)

How are you all doing those days?

Coco you sayd you would go back for a checkup today. How did it go? Remember you only need one egg in the end :) just needs to work out! so all limbs crossed still.

Prima - I am waiting for your time to come. has AF arrived yet?

Storm: When will you be testing? And no it cannot go wrong with a good beer haha. Never fails. :)

As for me... I am somehow not believing it. I havent tested again, it freaked me a bit out the test I took the morning after because it felt like the lines were a little less strong than the day before.
But I should have had AF already. I dont really feel any symptoms, have maybe been having dizzy spells here and there and also feeling tiny quesy here and there but not really to mention. Most of all I feel cramping though. On saturday night they were so strong that I was convinced that AF was on its way. and now i just get occasional sharp pains/cramps. But I am not even bloated anymore. that scares me. I feel I should be feeling something more.

My last pregnancy I got soo exhausted and depressed during this time. Now I wake up super fresh in the morning and even have insomnia. I do get more exhausted in the evening though wanting to sleep around 10ish :)

I wont be convinced I guess untill after all checkups.

Primadonna- sorry it's a bfn. There is still time though.

Kungfupanda- I'm so excited for you. Have you booked an appointment at the doctor?

Storm- not long until test day. How are you holding up?

Afm- my appointment went really really well. I have 16 follicles in total (4 of them are over 17mm). They aim to retrieve ones at least 17mm so I'm hopeful they will manage to collect at least the 4. I'm going in for collection onwednesday so I'm really hoping that another few grow between now and then although I'm not sure what's a normal growth rate over 36 hours (1 did double in size between Friday and Monday though so I am hopeful). The best news is that I only have 1 more injection to do.

I'm off to buy a new dressing gown and slippers for the hospital on Wednesday .

Cocoa-goodluck, sounds like you're off to a great start hun! I'm anticipating Wednesday with you.

Kung-fu I think no symptoms is better than feeling nauseous right! Ride that wave girl.

Prima- I know it's hard month after month, I'm keeping my fx AF doesn't show. And thanks for that, I was totally lost on fmu lol

Sorry if I forgot anyone

Afm I'm still having vivid dreams, last night Rihanna and I had an argument and I left and went clubbing with Nicki Minaj lol I've dreamed of being a superhero fighting villians with bolts of lightning (Storm). Just crazy outlandish stuff. I wrote down little notes when I wake up to remember. But symptoms, bbt went up to 98.0 this morning and it's never been that high. I had a sharp pain in upper left uterus area yesterday and dull pinches here and there since. Not quite like AF. Cp fluctuates between medium and high but is getting softer and is def closed. Butterflies still but not as often or as intense. I'm disappointed I used CB plus prematurely and got a negative. My best friend who doesn't know I'm ttc called me this morning and said she dreamt that I was in labor and she was taking pics and videos. So I told her I'm ttc. Gonna try to wait until Thursday to test. I'll be 11 dpo then.

Storm - How sensitive are the clear blue? It might still be too early to show up? FX for you!

I took my booster injection last night so that's me finished with my injections. Bought a new dressing gown and sensible slippers for tomorrow as my current slippers are purple dragons and I'm not sure this is appropriate for a hospital (although they do make me smile).

Yeah CB isn't as sensitive as FRER. Trying to be patient but it's really hard. Gonna try FRER tomorrow with fmu. Tomorrow is 5 days before af is due. Praying to every god in the universe and to the universe for a a BFP. And good luck at the hospital

Temp is still pretty high but I'm feeling a bit crampy, not as intense as af cramps but enough to catch my attention and make me feel I could be out. Smh really don't want to be disappointed.

hey cocoa! haha you just put a smile on my face with the slipper talk.

storm - all the best. i am fx for you. 14dpo today but BFN... waiting for AF..... i didnt temp religiously this cycle because the trigger shots make the temp weird.

cant wait for AF and start fresh. IUI here i come...

Haha Cocoa I love the slippers. Although it night bring some luck to renew your things for such an important event. i really have my hopes up for you :) so exciting!

prima, have you looked Into soy?

Storm. How do you manage to wait so patiently with testing? Have you maybe tested by now?

This week i have just not been completely convinced that this is really all happening and honestly been almost exoecting AF to arrive but now finally im few Days over what would have been my date of AF areiving so i finally might look into making an apppointment with the doctor! :) I didnt dare to take any more tests though

Prima thank you hun, I hope IUI gets the trick done for you I know it's been a long journey for you.

Kung-fu it's been really trying, I did use frer this morning with fmu and bfn. So that's disappointing but it's still early. Then again I woke in the middle of the night to go so who knows if I diluted it. Good luck at your docs appointment, I'm still really excited for you!

Cocoa you've gotta tell us how your day went at the hospital.

Afm: 10dpo. I'm confused looking at my bbt chart. I went from 98.0 to 97.8 to 97.5 today. Hoping AF isn't on her way, she's not due for another 5 days. I'm have dull cramps here and there, not quite like AF but enough to put some doubt that I'm pg. Yesterday was an increase in cm and today a bit drier. CP medium and it went from soft to firm. Still increased appetite, bbs feel full, vivid dreams, all things that could be af related. It's my first month charting though so idk what to think. I'll try to wait until Friday to test again. But I'm feeling out.

Sorry guys I'm feeling mega depressed. Spotting today. I always spot 24-48hrs before AF. today is 14dpo so here we go. At least it'll be iui in 2 weeks for me.

Really down and going to bed. Will come back on tmr and reply properly..
