Well temp went up and so did my Vreadings so lets hope this O was successful and the sperm got the egg and I get a BFP in 10 days!

Anastasia how did the appointment go I keep checking hope things a fine I'm sure they will be.

Northern are you in the tww

Mel how's your trip I hope it keeps your mind off things.

AFM going to a gp today to get my referral for the clinic, I didn't realise I needed to updat it every 12 months, I asked a girl on a different site that uses the same clinic and she said she had to get hers done halfway through an I IVF cycle, makes no sense but oh well, had a huge drive to town yesterday left at 3am and it was scary driving the truck I had a car on the back of the truck as well as a 4 wheel bike I have a pic on facebook

Stillfun I seen that pic, good job driving that I would be a little nervous!

AFM: Ultrasound went really good, got to see baby, he/she moved a little and got to see the heart beat which is at a very good 160!!! Things are looking great, I have my doc apt this Thursday to go over the ultrasound and a normal doc apt, should be interesting since I don't know if I'll have my truck back or not by then. My husband has had mine for about a week since his broke down and had to get towed home, its gonna cost a good chunk of $ but oh well need two working vehicles!
I will be interested to see if my doc adjusts the due date since baby measured 8 weeks 1 day and if you go by my LMP it will be Feb 21 and 8 weeks 3 days.
Excited for Aug 16 that will bring me to 13 weeks and I can start telling everyone, although I am feeling pretty good about this little one. My DD is excited I didn't tell her till she seen the ultrasound! She says it will be a boy.
I'll keep checking in on you all and I will try to report back on Thursday sometime, but I work that day too, so might be late.

appointment went well at the clinic ovulation induction set up for next cycle let's hope I get pregnant again before I have to do it, did aultrasound to check for cysts, all good! 4dpo and have been super crampy the last 2 days,fx its a sign

Good luck stillfun!
Hey did everyone drop off the face of the earth? :)
Doc apt went good, have a load of blood work to get done and then back at 12 weeks. Cant wait for that, maybe I'll go in earlier if I can't wait. All is going well and I am praying it stays that way and am trying to be as positive as possible.
TTFN

HAHA I know Anastasia! It seems that way, I know Mel is away for her sisters birth but not sure what Northern is up to! That sounds great about everything girl, bet its getting real now!!!

I'm still checking sometimes. I haven't really thought much about my TTC this cycle. We are in the process of moving and doing work around my new house. BD once in a while, but not keeping track of any signs or anything. We are too pooped out and sore to BD too often! I don't even know what CD I am.

I feel like I have fallen off the face of the earth! I'm taking a course that is exhausting hands-on work and I haven't had any time to get online or even talk to any friends.

Anyhow, AF is starting so I'm out for this round. Didn't have high hopes for this one anyhow. Just looking forward to going to the clinic and getting some help. Just a couple more weeks...

Peek a boo!!!!!! :P

ANASTASIA!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mel - congrats to your sister, I hope you are holding up out there!

Stillfun - glad the clinic checked you out and everything is a-okay! Hopefully just a little bit of help and you'll be on your way!!!!!!!

Northern - good luck with your class!

hoping - oh boy. lol. I am 2 years in to this whole step-parent thing (my fiance). I feel like he is still adjusting some days to his role, trying to figure out what it is and how to best accomplish it. And my son is only 5! I can't imagine having older children and introducing a new parent. I would guess that it's going to take a lot of time for everything to fall into place. He absolutely should not be picking on your kids though, or make you feel like parenting is more your responsibility than his. Like Mel said, you do not want your kids resenting you or him. Would he do counseling? If you don't think he's worth it, or that he doesn't care enough to put the work in to change, kick him to the curb - sounds like you're independent enough to stand up for yourself! :)

Me????? Well. I have not been keeping any track of anything at all aside from cycle starts. We've been frying bigger fish at my house. My fiance has been facing pretty big changes at his job, and we are working very hard on our relationship before we worry further about ttc. Yes, we did get the referral to the fertility specialist a couple of months ago, but we haven't yet gone. He was having seizures, and they just switched his meds. We've been in counseling now for a couple of months as well. We're thinking about moving somewhere less expensive so that we can save to buy a house. My son will be starting kindergarten next month. I think that's about it. Lol. One of my best friends just had her baby last month, and it's been great being able to watch her experience motherhood for the first time. But it's also been a good reminder of how very tough it is. We are definitely doing the right thing for us now, focusing on getting life set straight before ttc. (I still want to get that SA in the next couple of months, though!) :)

So happy to check in with everyone!

SUE!! Long time no chat! Im glad you are focusing on other things in your life and I hope DH has sorted his seizures out!!
Northern- Sounds like you have been busy! Maybe we all need NTNP cycles sometimes LOL
Mel- has your sis has her bub yet?
Hoping- Im glad everything went well with your new house! Maybe not knowing is a good thing!

AFM- Temps is where it should be for AF to start today and I can feel a little cramping so that's another cycle done and dusted! Start meds tomorrow if the witch starts today then back to town for CD 10 to 14 for U/S and bloods! I think DH is putting too much faith in this cycle with the clinic and I think he will be super disappointed if it doesn't work... I think I should sit down with him and make sure he understands.
