2frsty don't be be discouraged!! 11dpo is still early. I got my super super faint positive until AF was due and then my real BFP two days later I'm thinking I was around 21 dpo (I ovulated early) so hang in there! Fingers and toes crossed for u!

Thank u phatgurl! :)

I personally liked first respond- early result the best.

@2frsty- I must be losing it cause I see a line on your frer clear as day. I'm cheering you and your uterus on from st louis!

@pinkster- 10dpo sounds like a good day to start testing :)

AFM- Af is finally out of here and I started my birth control and spironolactone. It stinks but my testosterone is jacked up again. Pretty much all of our savings for babymaking are going to dh's car. Dh's dad (who works on old cars as a hobby) talked him into taking his engine apart thinking it was the timing belt. The belt was fine but the timing was off. Dh has been working on it but cant get the timing to line up right. His dad has been telling him exactly what to do including diving deeper into the engine so we have engine parts all over our garage. He's acted like he knows exactly what he's doing helping dh out but basically told us this morning that he has no clue what he's doing and his friend (a mechanic) will fix the timing issue for us for $300 if we buy the parts ourselves. But that only fixes the mess that has been created. The actual issue that started all of this could be the timing OR it could be something completely different. The $300 doesnt cover fixing the possible real issue. Ontop of that, the stuff dh's dad has instructed him to do, could have screwed up more delicate and expensive parts of the car. So, either our car will get fixed...or we'll buy a new car. Dh's car is a 2003 Tiburon and has 130,000 miles on it. It's not worth much anymore and it's almost silly paying way more to fix it than the car is worth. So we're hoping it was just the timing and paying the $300 will fix everything. If not...we may be car shopping soon. And something just hit me...I've been praying for a 4 door car (we both have 2 doors) cause with us HOPEFULLY have kids soon, plus me taking care of my nephew plus his new sibling due to arrive in August...I'm gonna need a 4 door at least. Maybe this is God's way of inching us in the direction of a bigger car. Either way I'm frustrated. Dh's dad has been using this as a bonding moment (father and son working on a car). I understand he's getting older and wants to create more memories with his son, but....could he have done it another way?! If he would have called his mechanic friend in the first place instead of guilting dh into letting him help...we wouldnt be out $300+ to just fix what has been done. We have $1000 of baby savings (needed $1200 for injectable cycle) but we may be spending all of that this week. ***slamming my head into wall over and over and over and over again*** Sorry, just needed to vent. Thank the good Lord, cause my good news is helping me through this. I'll let you all know in a couple days :)

Don't have time to catch up - I'm utterly exhausted and can't wait to lie my head down!

Looks like today is CD 1 for me, girls. I'm just gutted! I've been so depressed lately with all the BFPs I've been surrounded with. The past 2 days have been the worst. That, and the headaches off and on have been driving me bat shit crazy! I checked my CM this afternoon and there was some lotiony light pink CM there; it's quite a bit more and considerably darker/brighter in color. But maybe with AF showing up 4 days early I'll be able to start the Follistim injections and O early enough for Matt to still be here to BD with! I'm so depressed over the whole thing and feel broken.

I'll catch up tomorrow morning! Hoping everyone has a great Tuesday!

Aww Frsty, Im really sorry lovely, take some time out, do something you really enjoy or interests you, when AF shows with me i have a few drinks over the weekend and let me hair down a bit, still hoping AF will stop for you and its just a show, you'll get there girl, dont give up -x-x-x-x-

Thanks pinkster! I'm feeling much better about it today. My baseline u/s to start the next cycle is Thursday morning, so I'll talk with the Dr then. Gonna try to get my follies to grow quickly so I can trigger before Matt leaves. Also just found out that he got "fenced in" at work, which means that he's DEFINITELY going to Afghanistan this summer.

As y'all can see, I got bored and switched my signature around a bit. The good news is, I was able to include a link directly to my blog!! It'll take you to my welcome page, but you can easily navigate your way around the site! I'm cramping a fairly good bit this time; I'm bleeding much heavier than usual, too. Got the results of my P4 back today, and my progesterone was 27.1 which I think is pretty good. Not really sure just HOW good that is, considering that I was also on 100 mg 2x daily of progesterone supplementation. Wonder if that's why I'm bleeding so much more? Who knows.

Hiy Frsty, well thats good if progesterone still in your body surely, also ideas about gettin those follicles ready, shame hubby has to go there though, I wish him and all our brave troops well, my best friends son is in navy and not long come back from that area, must be tough for you at times as well lovely, you def need a bouncy baby to keep you busy lol ;) -x-x-x-

Hi ladies, I'm back!!
I have to admit that I've really missed checking in with you guys everyday, but that mental break was much needed. I did a quick skim through to try to catch up on all the updates...congrats to the BFP and good betas

AFM I'm just keeping busy with work and traveling...hubby & I will be celebrating our 1st anniversary in just a few months! And although we were hoping to be celebrating a baby on the way, we still have plenty to celebrate about...afterall we managed to not kill each other lol. That first year is exactly how every other married couple said it would be. Oh well, I'm still a bit bummed, but I'm not defeated. I'm sorry that any of us have to deal with some of the many struggles of TTC. for us all

Tara - always something, right? Still excited to hear your news!

2Frsty - I'm sorry this cycle wasn't a go and that your husband is being deployed. Good luck on the next one!!
