Mel, that's funny! LUBE MAKER (shakes head while laughing)
Im not sure what the V readings will do as mine are high before O and they only dip while you are fertile. Maybe ask the forum ladies.
AFM - DH is having trouble with his boss so it seems another move is imminent, GGGRRRR so sick of moving and im sure wherever we go next will have no access to a clinic so it looks like my assisted conception days are over... well for now anyways, im sure DH will want leave before our rainy season starts and that's in about 2 months.

Hey girls,

Just an update, im 8dpo today and having a little moment... I did have a little rough sleep but would have gotten at least 2hrs in from the time I woke at 1:30am til when I took my temp at 3:30am half an hour before I usually do, My temp was 36.51 at 3:30 at 4:14 it was 36.66 and at 5am it was 36.97! Big difference but if I went with the first temp of 36.51 it gives me an awesome imp dip, I don't want to get excited because my rest time and temp time is a little off but its pretty exciting!! I will post a pic of my chart, I also feel like AF is here which also is giving me hope :) FX for a line tomorrow arvo
I posted some tests but im not sure if its IC stupid evaps or the real deal.... uuhhhhh the suspense LOL pretty sure its the tests this early but we will see :)

My Ovulation Chart

Just an update on the tests, I pulled some old ones out of the bin and they have lines on them aswell so its def the tests.

Stillfun: So sorry about you possibly having to move. I hope you wouldn't have to move too far. Maybe you will get lucky and find a clinic closer to your new place. Your chart looks great! Maybe you won't need a doctor after all!!!

AFM: So I had a ton of cramps the night of 13dpo which fit perfect with a 14 day AF however she did not show and did not show again today so now I'm wondering if maybe I have a cyst or if maybe I still have a chance this cycle. I'm sure the witch is messing with me. I will probably test again tomorrow if AF doesn't show tonight. DH and I will be going to another foster/adopt orientation this sat with a local agency. My dh is really only going for me. He said he still wants to keep trying this route and would really like to have my child. We will see. I think its worth checking out. :)

Hope everything is ok Mel and you get your late bfp :)
10dpo today and if that was a real dip the other day I would have had a real line by now, the tests I'm using are terrible for showing perfect lines that aren'teven squinters! I check back over nnortherners pics and I think they are the same tests she had trouble with, another girl showed me hers of the same brand and she even has pink lines, I have 100 of these :(

Temp dip today so af is near Ken and I have talked about it and with IUI costing $2600 and IVF being not that much different it seems an obvious choice for us, We have to pay the upfront cost of $7850 but we get a big rebate from our medical benefits, we also might freeze kens sperm so when it fertilisation day there is no pressure, that Costa $500 and then it costs $750 for embryo freezing aswell. But I'm tired of ttc it has worn me down, I'm excited to be moving ahead.
We will probably start in November.

Stillfun I think that sounds like a great idea, I can't believe the price difference is that little between IUI and IVF. November was a good month for us that is when we conceived DD!!

How is everyone else??

AFM: Feeling pretty good, have little bursts of tons of kicks and nudges throughout the day, that is super cool. I love that feeling,can't wait until you all get to feel that. Just starting to shop for mat clothes as the elastics holding my pants together are getting kinda to be a pain. Okay talk to you all after my next apt on Tuesday October 8 20 weeks 4 days!!!

Well a little has happened from my last post, the temp dip I was talking about didn't end up being AF, my temp jumed to its highest all cycle the next day and today is high again, I have had a bit of trouble with the IC's im using so I am not too excited yet but they are def showing darker lines than they have been all week, I posted a pic but you have to invert cause its too bright, I will POAS again soon and I hope it shows a nice pink line, I will keep you all updated
AF is usually here by now and my temp is usually really low, I checked my cervix this morning and its closed aswell.

Stillfun: for that price I would def jump straight to IVF as well. I def. think I see a line but I'm on my phone so can't see too well. I'll have to look again when I'm home. I hope this is it for you!

Anastasia: that is great in so happy for you... And jealous lol!

Afm: so I'm currently on cd 2 my dh and I have been discussing saving up and doing IVF next summer. I'm trying to start sooner since my sister is planning her wedding for next October and I would hate to be dealing with morning sickness while trying to be there for her. Dh and I talked a bit last night but it led to a blow out with the usual I'm always trying to rush it and me feeling like he would push it back forever and the mention of divorce by the end of the night I was a mess and today just feeling numb. This morning he told me he loves me and I know he does and I know he just brings up the divorce word as a threat to hurt me when he's mad I'm just so sick of it. I told him we should both have wanting a baby at the top of our list I shouldn't have to fight for it all the time. I just don't know what to do. I know when I'm pregnant my dh will be thrilled and will be a great father I know it's just the stress of it all but I am just so drained and sometimes I feel it would be easier to walk away and start anew. On a side note dhs dad told me this week to just take a trip to see my mom and have a quickie with a stranger and come back pregnant lol! He cracks me up. They told us they are going to give us some money to help and then my father in law looks at me and says or you can use it for a flight to "see your mom" lol! What kinda of father in law promotes such a thing haha! Anyways hope your all doing better then me. Sorry to be such a downer today.
