Well IUI #2 complete. Two eggs, one from each side :-) I had already ovulated!!! I knew I had, I started cramping right before we left to go. Last month I didn't ovulate until 4 hours after the IUI and they say the sperm starts to lose its potency 5/6 hours after wash. Yahhhhh. And DH had 55.6 Million Motile swimmers so hopefully at least one or two work some magic :-)

How is everyone doing????

Mandy sounds like perfect timing!! :-) yaaaaay! 2 great eggs and plenty of swimmers! I'm praying nonstop!! Sooo exciting!

Wow enbutler, 12 wks today! Can't wait for you to get in and get to see your precious baby, such a miracle :) So glad to hear your morning sickness has gone MIA hopefully it stays away!

Even though I've stayed so busy this week this tww still feels like its taking forever.. 2nd week always seems like forever. I'm not keeping track of every single symptom everyday cuz that drives me crazier, so I've only jotted down a few things this time. Also decided not to test early - even though I always say that - but really gonna resist and just wait it out. Who knows, it might make a difference.. for my sanity anyways. Hope all you wonderful ladies are having a great day!!

CD17 today. Face looks great so I think my testosterone has finally evened out. Thank goodness! It's so hard to ditch a cycle but if no sign of impending OV by cd 20, I'll start my progesterone. Why is it so freaking hard to get myself into the groove of losing weight. I know dropping another 20 lbs would probably fix a lot of my reproductive issues, I just have no drive right now .

@xomandy-

@jace's_mama- what dpo today?

Tara today is *drumroll* 10dpo! Which means I've only got 4 more days to go!! Wow.. where I've been trying to be more laid back about it all I thought I had farther to go, when you asked I had to look on here to see!! So that makes me feel good. Are you taking any medicine or herbs or anything to help with ovulation this cycle? Did they recommended losing weight? After I had my son it took a whole year for me to get back where I needed to be.. and now I could spare a few pounds but its so hard to stay motivated. My mom and I used to walk/jog everyday, now that its getting a lil warmer we've started back. It really helps a lot, 30 minutes a day has done wonders for my energy level. I was staying tired all day then couldn't fall asleep at night.. but after almost 2 wks of walking/jogging everyday its almost got me back to normal :-)

@Jace's mama- yes ma'am. Gosh this wait for the Dr appt is killing me. Unfortunately when I called, one of their sonographers is out on maternity leave and they're short so all sonograms are booked up. Grr.

I'll make sure I keep you ladies posted if you'd like.

Baby dust and sticky vibes to everyone. I hope everyone gets their BFP at one point!

@Jace, I agree. The first week is a breeze. The second week feels like eternity! 10DPO! :-) Fingers Crossed for you. WAIT IT OUT! I will be your support group for that!

@Tara, glad your face is clearing up. Hopefully you OV :-) Soon. I feel ya about the losing weight. I eat out EVERY day for lunch. I keep telling DH that we have to stop doing that. Gym, boy oh boy the gym... I actually LOVE working out, it's just getting there that is the problem! If I go home before the gym, I don't see the gym.

@Enbutler, I can't wait for that day I hit 12 weeks :-)

Yes enbutler, definitely keep us updated! I am sooo excited for you!

Mandy I need help! I don't know if I can wait it out or not! I was fine til I realized exactly what dpo I was, I bought some tests while I was out today cuz I ran out of the internet cheapies.. haven't took it yet but I want to!!

@jace's_mama- You can do it hun. Just hold out a little bit longer. But if you cave I totally understand lol. I usually start testing at 10dpo cause I'm just plain crazy and love torture lol.
No herbs or meds this cycle besides my regular metformin and foltanx for pcos and mthfr. Afraid to do soy again after my testosterone spike. As far as weight loss, weight loss is recommended for pcos. When I was first diagnosed, I lost 25 pounds and a balanced out all my hormone levels but my body still would not cooperate and ovulate. So after that I was started on clomid, which worked but lost all the babies. I'm 5'1" and 160bs. After the weightloss, I was down to 145 but gained back 15 lbs after my miscarriages and loss my kitty to cancer. Stress makes me have no appetite but depression makes me say screw it and eat ice cream .

@enbulter- Can't wait for the ultrasound!

@xomandy- I used to be really athletic....gymnast and figure skater. Wish I could get that back. Dh discovered crossfit over a year ago. He wants me to join so bad but I'm scared. One of my favorite workouts now is pole dancing, but I'd be embarrassed being around all fit girls (afraid it'd feel like high school all over again). Wow...I'm really putting it on the table right now lol.

Mandy- we need to get some more BFP's floating around in here!.

Tara- I'll make sure I let you ladies know how it goes and post pics

I caved.. bfn. Depressed now, shouldn't have wasted money. I really had a good feeling about this month, guess I was wrong :(
