@2frsty- I was gonna get on here today and check in on you. I'm so happy your little guy got into all his therapy classes...especially the equine assisted therapy! Horses are amazing creatures :). I cant wait to hear how he thrives in that environment :)
I see something on your test but those wondfos are such tricky boogers. Are you going to test again today?

@jace- I cant think straight either LOL!

@brimsuqt- I'm so sorry honey! I'm so proud of you for being so proactive in your health. I agree...everyone says to exercise and eat well and get your body in the best shape but after every bfn all you want to do is sit on the couch, listen to sad music and eat comfort foods. It's like every bfn is a break up lol. But what you're doing for your physical and mental health is inspiring.

@astrid- HAHA! Mission: Dh Dehydrate! LOL
I love the fact that you're on the other side of the world (that didnt sound right LOL)! I love seeing girls on here from all over cause it shows that we all have something in common....we're crazy! We've had girls from the UK, Australia and India too. I find it awesome :)
Your road trip sounds beautiful. I've flown out west over colorado but never drove it. I'd love to though :).

@Phat- dh was super nervous about is SA too. He was afraid he wouldnt hit the cup. Since your dh will be home, he said the easiest thing for him was to just lay on the bed and put the collection cup on his stomach with the opening facing his penis. Then when he got close he put the tip into the cup to catch it all.....*you know what's funny? We always talk about her cervixes and mucus and breasts but it feels funny to discuss penises! *

@holly- thank you sugarcube!! How are you doing? And how's your little one?

Still waiting on my opk to darken. I feel like a stuffed thanksiving turkey! lol. I woke up at midnight last night to horrible stabbing pains that felt like I was being ripped open in all directions in my abdomen. It was so bad I almost had dh take me to the hospital. I kept thinking my ovaries were ready to blow up. I went to the bathroom and when I bared down to pee, I wanted to scream. Turned out I was horribly bloated and gasey from those stupid delicious beans and cornbread . But I couldnt get any relief and the added pressure in an already tender, swollen abdomen had me almost crying in the bathroom. What sucked was that it hurt too bad to even try to fart! LOL!!!! I was dying. I finally got a little relief and was able to go back to bed. But I still hurt today. Feel like I need a needle to release the pressure at times.
Well enough about farts and penises today LOL... to everyone!

Tara I hope you find relief with your tummy so you can spend all your time draining dh!!!! I told myself I'll wait 3 more days before testing again. Ill see how that goes!

2Frsty I'm so glad your hard work & persistence paid off! Sounds like he's going to be getting all the therapy he needs.. I love that he gets to work with horses, I've seen so many kids thrive with horses when nothing Lee helped!

Hello sweet Ladies!

Tara - i hope you get well so you can fulfill your "Mission"! :)))

Phat - you are not assholes! He wasn't one either, he just had a lot of love to spread around! A LOT! :))))))) We even remained very good friends for over a year after we broke up but when i met my current husband it was Kind of weird to still Keep contact so... he also got married (2nd time around). :)))))

Ladies wish you all a great day and i kwwp you all always in my prayers!

You are not alone!! lol I feel like I am not only driving myself to insanity but my partner also. We have been trying since August and last month I had an early miscarriage which even though I was so early on, was absolutely heartbreaking for me. Anyway this month I am 5 days late for my period. Cramping, sore nipples and breasts (my nipples are almost constantly erect as well), headaches, nausea however all week I have been getting BFN!!

Went to the doctors and he basically told me to chill out and stop taking so many tests. He just doesn't understand how hard it is when you just know in yourself that something isn't the same and you have that box of tests sitting in your drawer... i'm sure you ladies feel me! haha

jesslekay - Welcome! Yes, we definitely know that feeling.

Astrid - I'm on #3, so I can't say a word about his #2. :)

Tara, I reallybhope you get a positive ovulation test soon! I certainly understand your dr not triggering you, but I'd hate to see those follies turn into cysts.

If you still haven't ovulated by tomorrow, I'd ask for another scan. Good Luck my dear!

@lisserb- that's my fear . He never mentioned the possibility of cysts but the thought popped into my head and I googled it. I've always OV'd on my own with clomid but I've never had these many follicles before. I'm scared.

Due to take another opk at 2pm. I just want to ovulate. My lower abdomen is uncomfortable and sex has been painful the past 2 nights.

@jesslkay- I'm so sorry for your loss hun. It's hell, even when it's early on. I've had 6 and it never gets easier.
I think drs shouldnt be allowed to talk about our peeing on stick addictions unless they have gone through infertility. Dont give up hope yet hun. Because you miscarried last cycle, you probably ovulated later in your cycle.

I actually wis he'd have scanned you earlier and triggered you with only two or three of the largest follies ready to go. The smaller ones wouldn't have released then. You should have been triggered when the 26mm follie was at only 18-20mm. Then the ones that are 18mm now would have still been immature and likely wouldn't have released.

Well, last thursday my biggest follie was 14mm. He kept me on a lower dose an scanned me first thing monday. They had blown up over the weekend.

After reading lisserb's post, I've been scared and depressed today and have cried a few times in dh's arms. After a rough day, we went to my inlaws for dinner and my day got worse.
I noticed a sippy cup on their counter and asked where it came from. It was apparently left there after a family get together earlier this year. My mother in law was gonna toss it and I said, "you could hang onto it for your grandbabies". She looked at me and said, "By the time you give me grandbabies, the plastic nipples on these will be rotten."
She laughed really hard like it was the funniest joke she ever told. I sat there feeling like she threw a harpoon thru my heart. It just wasnt a good day for that. She saw the look on my face and came over and said she was a little harsh with that "joke" and said she'd make up for it with a hug. I went and hid in the bathroom for almost a half hour.
Please ovaries....surge! I beg you!
