Morning

So glad to hear that everyone is making progress and doing okay.

Phat// Thanks for the well wishes. I hope this is it too . Now it's your time to gear back up and try again this cycle.

Tara// Sounds like all went well at your appointment. It's good to have options, so you're not 100% out and you will get your babies; just stay hoepful

Mandy// Hope you're doing okay :)

Athena// When do you take another ultrasound? I thought that pic you posted was cute.

Kris// I'd be excited about the baby shower too!! Who doesn't like a good party wth food, games, and gifts . And I'm sure your babies will be as cute as ever.

I know that I've been in hiding for a few days...busy putting in work with the DH, working my babymagic, lol.

I started recording my temps but I'm not sure with the way my chart is looking...I believe that the 2 spiked days resulted from having the heat on in the house. I live in Central Florida and the weather is crazy. It's 70-80 degrees one day and then 40-60 degrees the next. It's funny that those are the two days we had the heater on with extra blankets. I believe that may have thrown the pattern off. O, well. I'm just hoping for a this cycle..

Tara you're appt sounds awesome. I'm glad it all went well and it definitely sounds like God gave you signs that this is your path. You know I'm a sucker for cats and kittens, everytime we go to petsmart I have to go look at the cats they have for adoption. Dh always reminds me no more cats aloud lol. The last time there was this huge orange cat. He put Rudy to shame and Rudy is a big cat. Not fat though I'm talkin this cat was probably the size of two Rudy's it had to be over 25 lbs. I can't wait to see pics of your new addition to your family.

Phat I'm sorry, hugs. Eff those wondfo devil sticks :(

Kristi it may be strange but there is red hair on my hubby's side. So I've kind of hoped for a red head. Dh's hair is a pretty auburn, though he swears it's brown lol his beard though is solid red. His mom told me though his memaw had hoped his hair would be red like hers, but it not never got brighter.

Baby magic our next scan is Monday. I can't wait to see how much little bean has grown. Temperature change in your bedroom can definitely throw off your temps.

Congrats Athena! Can't wait to see the new ultrasound.

Waiting - Parints sounds amazing! I'm so happy for you!!! The trigger shot should really help.

AFM - I got my CD 21 progesterone results back today. 8.3. The doctor says that means I ovulated? I thought it had to be over 10 for an unmedicated cycle?

So glad the appointment went well Tara. Are they going to monitor your follicle growth and trigger timing by ultrasound?

cd17 today, still no OV. But it's ok..I'm just going with the flow.

@phat- Like most medical personel, she's a little uncomfortable with sticking softcups inside during OV cause even if it doesnt cause an infection to us, it can introduce just a little bacteria to the semen and cause problems. But she said if I lay down for an hour then I wont have to worry about keeping the swimmers up there cause most of the swimmers will already be out of the semen and into the cervix by the time I get up. But since I'm getting an IUI anyways, I dont really have to worry about the softcups. As far as preseed goes, if I'm going to use one, that's the best. But she said she wants my vagina and cervix to be the perfect most beautiful environment, which means starting over and trying to do it as natural as possible. She did suggest rubbing on a little A&D ointment before hand and after to help with friction and irritation I get. Never would have thought of that! I also mentioned Ovaboost to her. And like I said (being in western medicine), she's not fond of herbal remedies online. Not because they dont work, but because they arent FDA regulated. Apparently they did a study on some of the herbal reproduction remedies out there and they found they contained ingredients unlisted that could be harmful for reproduction. She wasnt saying that all of them were bad, but that she wants to play it on the safe side and stick to what she knows works. I'm game...anything for my babies!

@babymagic- as long as your doing opks as well, you shouldnt miss your real spike. What cd are you?

@memphrika- it does seem low. Do they have you on supplements yet?

@lisserb- yepyep! Not too happy about having to have ultrasounds there cause it's $150 rather than $20 copay at my dr but she is afraid if I keep using my doctor for u/s that I'll get in trouble with the insurance company. She said if you are on fertility meds that ultrasounds automatically dont count as covered cause it's considered treatment (I have UHC). She actually has clients being forced to pay back a couple thousand to the insurance company for that exact cause. EEkkk!

Sucks that they aren't covered, but with any luck these will be the last ultrasounds you need for fertility, cause you'll get your sticky BFP! :)

Tara- I'm so happy for you! I really hope you get your BFP!!!!

He gave me supplement GS to take starting 2 DPO since a hear ago but I haven't needed them because I haven't O'd according to my charts.

My DH was started on 7 weeks of Doxycycline because his WBC count was high in his SA. I'm really hoping they put me on clomid soon. Hubby goes for another SA in 6 weeks to make sure his wbc went down.

Next thing my RE wants to do is CD 2 and 7 blood testing.

Memphrika did you get married?

Btw...this is our new kitty Monroe!
