Baby magic don't start testing for few days after you stop the Clomid, you can get a false positive from the Clomid.

Tara that is so sweet, my youngest niece is like that for me. She gets sooo excited to see me and is extra happy if she gets some one on one time. She loves to rub my belly now to feel her cousin.

9 dpo and BFN. I know it is early still rather upset.while searching for something uplifting I ran across this.

That is just what I needed. We need to remain hopeful. #bfpsin2014!

Baby Magic - don't overload on the internet! There's lots of good and bad about everything so don't freak out! I took the one round of clomid and look at me now! Let your doctor guide you and just keep them informed.

Awww - Tara - your nephew is adorable! You will be a spectacular mother, is there any doubt??

Phatgurl - you are amazing! Keep strong :)

Bfn again today - 12dpo & cd25, so I'm sure I'm out. My guess is AF will arrive tomorrow.

In case any of you think you have the best mom in the world, I'm here to tell you mine is. With all this stuff going on with my son, I've been seriously questioning my parenting abilities. My son is in therapy for various things, and I've started therapy to learn how to have better relationships with my kids. He has had some legal trouble, and the court psychologist basically said our parenting led up to what happened. I don't know how much is attributed to me, my ex, or our multitude of spouses/significant others. So, I was telling my mom I'm worried if I cannot overcome my shortcomings I am not sure I am the right person to offer my son the best opportunity to move past what has happened and be a productive, happy adult. She told me that I was able to change myself & become a better person than who I used to be, and she thinks I might be the perfect person. She believes I can do it. I know it's not true that I'm perfect, but it made me feel really good, and my mom doesn't give fluff compliments, so at least I know she thinks I've turned out OK. :-)

Holly - hang in there!

OH Holly!! I'm right there with you!!!!!!!!!!
Woke up to a text that my childhood best friend had her baby early this morning. Aaaaaaand, my closest friend now (the one in texas), is being induced tomorrow.
Talk about a double whammy! Can I just stay in bed all day and eat chocolate! Forget the chocolate....how about chocolate whip cream vodka! Lol. However, I'm saving money and spending my Jamberry earnings on alcohol would be stupid lol.

I'm actually trying to make really good choices with what I put in my body. Been drinking smoothies for breakfast. Eggs give me diarrhea, oatmeal was the last thing I ate before I got the stomach flu the other week and cereal is just too carb-y to have everyday. So I decided to find some easy recipes. I've had one the past 2 mornings that tastes like a chocolate covered cherry!
1/4 cup frozen cherries
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup milk
1 T cocoa powder
honey to taste
some crushed ice
I dissolve the cocoa in a little bit of hot water so it's more of a sauce. Then add everything to the blender. No kidding...tastes like chocolate covered cherries!
And if you dont feel like yogurt....
Take a box of sugar free/fat free chocolate pudding, 2 cups of crushed ice, and 2 cups of skim milk and blend. Takes like chocolate cake batter...add in frozen cherries and you've got black forest cake!!!!
There, that's my daily recipe! lol. It's amazing how cooking gets my mind off of stuff.

Hey holly- how did you add that picture? I've tried different ways but it always screws up the page. Photobucket updated and doesnt treat the link the same way. Btw...my mom has always told me that...'dont give up on your miracle!"

Phat- your mommy is right! You are a great person honey...even if you dont see it :)

@kristi- thank you darling!

Dh called to chitchat during his lunch break while I was typing this and I started to cry. I just so badly want this IUI to work!!! I'm scared cause I see stories of other ladies trying for 5+ years and even though I know God has an plan for each of us...I worry that I havent been though enough to deserve a baby yet. Like I have to suffer more. What the heck is up with that!? That's the devil talking!

Tara - you should never have had to suffer at all, and it's definitely been enough already. When is the iui?

Probably first week in April based on previous clomid cycles. I'm praying we get our return before then. IRS says if you e-file and get direct deposit, you'll get it back in 10 or so days....21 at the most. If that's true, then we'll have it by the end of march for the IUI cost.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! And a super congrats to mephrika! I was in the middle of a message the other day when we got some bad news, so I haven't been on in a couple days. Good luck Tara; I've been praying for you for weeks now, and the rest of us too! My SO and I had a mc at 5 weeks a bit over a month ago and we ov'd this month so we're trying again. I'm 9 dpo and got a bfn this morning and so I'm hoping it was just too soon. I hate that I can psych myself into the symptoms even if not expecting! Drives me crazy! Praying for bfp's and sticky beans for everyone!!!

Tara - that's right around the corner! I would have done your taxes for free. We got ours 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Mragan - glad to see you're back & gl on your BFP!

Bfn for me this morning on ept, Answer & DG..

Kris, thanks. I try my best not to overload to much online, but I just got a bit curious about Clomid since I've never taken it before. It's so hard not to read up on stuff...it's irritating, lol...

Athena, thanks for the info. I actually bought a different Ovulation Kit than what I've been using. I got the CBE Ovulation Kit that only detects the LH surge. It doesn't give the (4) days warning, where you get high readings followed by peak.

Phat, You are awesome love and you should be proud of yourself. You're actually involved and trying and that says a whole lot. If you didn't care, you wouldn't invest yourself like you are. No one is perfect and never will be. We've all struggled with something. Just look at who you've become and just continue to be the best you can be :)

Tara, so excited about your IUI. FX that the 1st round is a success!!!!! You truly deserve it to be.

Mragan, sending you lots of
