Hi Chicks...long time no see.

Me and DH are about there. If we don't conceive this cycle, we're moving to the "NTNP" stage. I can't keep putting my life on hold for something that probably won't happen.

HI ladies,

Cd3 here. I went in for my blood test on Friday instead of Wed (lots going on) Not surprised to get a BFN just really had that feeling. I am not going to to a natural this cycle. After all the reading I've done and what my nurse and doc said the chances are veeeeery slim on a natural one so since I'm going through all of this I will just end up taking clomid this cycle. Had my CD3 blood and ultrasound done this morning and now waiting on results.

Pumpkin, omg how exciting! did you post your test?

39, How are you? Do you always spot before AF? I did too sometimes for about a week before, and this past cycle I took prescription progesterone and it helped me tremendously. Zero spotting. Before that I would take natural progesterone and it didn't do anything for me. Just throwing it out there.

Hello and welcome SMP, wish you all the best and hope you get pg quickly. As far as first time IUI - everyone is different. I read a lot of success stories on first time. You never know - I hope for you it happens so you can tell us all about it

Speaking of vitex... Any of you noticed spotting on it? I took it for a few cycles and realized I was spotting A LOT (but that was my issue to begin with) it was a lot more though.

Hi All! Well FINALLY... AF arrived for me today on CD41.. YIKES! Usually I'm 22 - 27 days, but with going cold turkey on all my meds I guess it screwed with my body too much. Thanks Kerzie for the suggestion. I did reach out and received some information on Vitex. I didn't know that I shouldn't be taking it every day. Please read www.larabriden.com/Vitex. There's some interesting information there.

Well onword... dh gave me a high-five this morning for starting. LOL Only... because I had tested twice while waiting for her to rear her ugly head. Wondering how long I have really as I may be the oldest of the group, but going to try for a bit longer just in case. Where man fails, God prevails.... if it's meant to be. Until then I just try to live in the moment and cherish every day with my dh and ds.

Praying for bfp's in the coming months!

Congratulations Pumpkin! Praying for a sticky bean.

Jandei - I can't take pictures right now, the only phone that we have that could take pictures is my grandmothers and it takes pretty low quality ones, but if I get a digi Friday, then i'll try to take a picture of that lol

Calvingirl - I'm really hoping you get your BFP soon I remember seeing you on here when I got pregnant with the one I miscarried, and i'm really pulling for you.

Kerzie - When are you testing?

Calvin. I get your frustration with just wanting to see "something" but it's still early. I tried "NTNP" but failed miserably, I know all the signs of ovulation by now and would put more pressure on myself around that time. I'm trying to half try, once I find my o window I'm getting on with life. No more poas for me unless I'm late. I'm trying to get healthier and putting my energy into that and if I end up pg then great but if I don't then I'm lucky I have my ds. Hope you get your bfp this cycle

Pumpkin. I tried to leave you a sentiment yesterday but the site kept freezing on me. How exciting!!!!! I really hope this is congratulations. Hope your bean is super sticky and you get a positive digi..Try get the clear blue with weeks estimator, it's the most sensitive digital at 25mlu. Others tend to be 50mlu.

Chicks. Hope you ovulated later than Friday so you caught that egg Also happy you got some

Jandei. Good luck this cycle I hope that clomid works and you get your bfp Haven't ever spotted on vitex but I don't have that problem, it just made my period super scant when I took it after o.

Baby. Am I really cheering af ??? I'm looking at it the same way as you too, it doesn't hurt to make sure I bd during ovulation but other than that I'm super grateful I have my ds. Thanks for the link, that's how I was trying to take it but just doesn't work for me. Silly, awkward body I hope your body will regulate now, if my lp is short again this month think I will have to go cold turkey to clean my system for a few months, it's not been normal since I tried iso flavonoids.

Hey ladies...just checking in and seeing how you are doing..today i go to see the results of all of this testing thats been going on..I'll post later about what happend...i hope all.is well.with you ladies...while im waiting im gonna go back over the old.psot to catch up...

Well ladies, I feel out. 12dpo and bfn on FRER this morning, and another bfn on dollar tree test this afternoon. AF due tomorrow.

I have zero symptoms except a cough and a stuffy nose, which I had already. Not even any cramping, so AF doesn't feel like it's going to be on time. It'll torture me for a few days before finally ruining my day.

My husband got laid off today, and on the way to meet him for lunch to discuss it, I got a speeding ticket. So you can basically say, I've had a bad day. Hope better things for everyone else. This was our last cycle for really trying, and with DH out of work, I need to focus my efforts elsewhere anyway.

Thank you Pumpkin - I remember you too.

Hi ladies didnt get much good news i have to jave a minor surgery to.remove a fibroid and the spwcialist put me on metformin...so I'll keep you posted on the process

Shanta. It's good news once they remove the fibroid, then you can ttc once again full of hope. I'm sorry you have to go through that though

Calvin. You had a really crappy day yesterday and sounded so sad I hope your dh gets a new job soon, a bigger better one than before I wish we could all give you a hug in person

Calvin - I'm so sorry you had such a bad day =/ When it rains it pours it seems, but like my mom told me, when bad stuff happens, it usually leads to better things ahead.

AFM- 12DPO Today and I tested with a DG cheapie and it came back as a standard positive, I was shocked. Never had a DG cheapie show up like that this early before , but I'm hoping that's a good thing and this baby sticks , i'm going to be anxious now until I hit the 12wk mark but I feel pretty good, with the one I miscarried, I got MS once, and the tests never progressed like ( I feel) they should have, it took forever for them to get dark, and then the clearblue with weeks estimator was always off, so i'm hoping it's a different story here. I will TRY to find a way to get a picture up ladies =] but please be patient with me.

and to all those waiting to test
