Bammom: I'm soooo happy for you!!! Congrats hun!!

Penny- Yay! You will get the ball running for the cycle triplets. KMFXâ??d for all of us!

Wifey- Your symptoms (or lack there of) arenâ??t an indicator of much. My first medicated cycle I went back for a 7dpo progesterone draw. I would have been clear at 14 and I was at 24/25 and I think it was too elevated. It ended in a BFN. The following month (non medicated) I had every symptom under the sun that would lean me towards BFP. My boobs were at least two maybe three cup sizes bigger and hurt like hell. I had to hold them to go up and down the steps! My skin was beautiful (not normal), I had back pains. The whole nine yards. UGH! I kept telling DH â??Babe, I think you really lodged one in me this timeâ??. AF showed about 15dpo. Unless its was a CP (I never tested), all those symptoms lead me nowhere.

Jgroves- WTF!!!! I would be losing it!!! You may as well wait for the 8 week ultra sound.

Koti- She doesnâ??t put any needles in my belly because of the IUI. She does give me needles to support my progesterone levels to keep my uterus in line for implantation. There are so many spots on the body for reproductive health that she can use as opposed to my belly. I am feeling much better today! A little emotional but other than that, Iâ??m awesome! Thanks for asking.

Cristi- Haha!!!

Bammom_ Wooohoooo!!!! That is awesome!!!!

AFM- Iâ??m generally in a good mood today. I just told DH I think acupuncture is like an antidepressant.Iâ??m emotional in that I feel so happy I want to cry. No lasting symptoms for me today. I had some cramping earlier and a little â??tuggingâ?? feeling in my belly and I did check my cervix. Med, Med, Closed with some creamy cm. Which is kind of pointless because I donâ??t know much about my CP changes during my cycle except for leading up to O. Honestly, I donâ??t know that much about then because I have DH check it for me (teeheehee). I feel pretty laid back today. Donâ??t get me wrong, if AF shows her ugly face, I will be disgusted but, Iâ??m just trying to live in the moment while I can. Who knows if Iâ??ll feel this good tomorrow. LOL!

Blushing - How long have you been doing acupuncture? I just started it this cycle. It's definitely an..... interesting experience for sure. It seems to be maybe helping though because normally I only get a positive OPK for a day, this month I had a 3 day surge. I'm hoping that meant a strong ovulation.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

Bammom, That is AMAZING news. So happy for you. Congrats... H&H 9 months my dear! This just made my night!

bammom - SO GLAD to see those numbers! You've been in my thoughts and prayers all day!

jgroves - I'm sure you already know, but with military medical you have to fight for almost everything! Keep pushing for what you feel is right! It sounds like they are working with you though, so that's good!

GVMDL - *hugs* :-)

bammom - so glad to see the progression in your numbers!

kotikd - sorry about having to drink so much before the test! Geez, sometimes all I have to do is THINK about having to go and I go! LOL! Don't know if I could hold it!

jgroves - So sorry your appointment stressed you out, but glad your dr seems willing to work with you. Just continue to be firm and don't let them put you off. I'm sure things in the military work a little differently, but I'll bet if you let them know you're serious, they'll change things to suit you.

Oh boy, I am letting my compulsiveness take over with this fertility monitor. If I haven't seen and read everything out there on the internet about how to take it, how to read the strips yourself, etc, etc....I even took a picture of the stick, labeled it with the cycle day, and then decided to save it so I can watch the progression throughout the month! Am I whacked or what? Before this is over, I'll have them taped into a notebook with notes on why I think each month did or didn't work out!! I'm a mess.

@rebecca:I am cracking up right now. I did the notebook thing last month, so funny. It actually kinda kept me same and organized! This month I am taking a laid back approach for the first time. Let's see how long that lasts lol. Good luck Hun!

Gvmdl: what's new Hun?? What cd are you?

Bam mom: yayyyyyy I knew it would be good, congrats dear!!!!

Hi koti, how are you?

Lacey: heyyyy how are you???? Where are u at in your cycle? DH took the news ok, we switched him to boxers from boxer briefs, so he is trying cool the boys down a bit. He may or may not be annoyed with me since I bug him whenever I notice he is kinda smooshed down there with bunched up pants or something. Lol! So funny. He's also taking vitamins with zinc so that's keeping me hopeful. Doc doesn't want to repeat results just yet, said we will wait till after the holidays and I'm not knocked up, we will look into an hsg and ultrasound with the specialist. Oh the joys...

Jennavee: we miss uuuuuuu, how's the bean growin?

AFM: CD10, barely temping. Took an opk, very negative, DH started a new position so we didn't even get to bd yet this cycle, my period ran 8 days pretty much and we have been so tired! We probably will tomorrow. EDD would be July 28.

Tomorrow is Halloween, hope the only you guys see is a little kid in a costume lol hahaha

I'll be dressing up as a fairy at work. Happy Halloween girls!

Rebecca- LMAO!

acrichton- Good for you trying to be more laid back!

penny- I've been doing it for a little over 2 years. It has brought me peace if nothing else. I'm trying to get into meditation and yoga a little more. I really believe in energy healing. Not saying medical doesn't work but I do believe combining the two will have great results. I'm glad you've had somewhat of a positive experience with it.

Goodmorning Ladies!

How is everyone?

AFM- 10dpo here and I've been pretty good not symptom spotting but last night I went to sleep nausous as hell, mouth watering like a freaking faucet! This morning's temp took a small dive and I have back cramps like a mofo (hopefully implantation). I've had these symptoms off and on since my IUI and the nausea may have been from me being hungry (it was pretty late). I was trying to convince myself not to get too excited about it because I would be disappointed if AF shows. Then I decided that its not the end of the world if I am dissaponted. It won't be the first time. I'm going to live in my momment for now. party] party] baby_dust] sticky_vibes]

Oh blushing I hope this is it!!!!!! Sounds good! The only time I get remotely nauseous right now is when my tummy is empty

AFM: all is well! And I'm not taking a test today! That's a big step for me! I will test every other day and watch the line get darker until I don't think it will get darker. I still have tons of osom's and a few cbe weeks estimators left so I'm totally using those all up! Lol To all of the ladies about to test. I cannot wait to see your !
