Minnie thanks I know I just don't get it, I know I didn't ov early because I was being monitored. Oh well I guess it's sooner to the next cycle. How are you feeling any signs?
Oh no Joeve that sucks. What has the FS said? (if u have spoken)
Any news from anyone else? Symptoms? Poas?
AFM: Well my new pack of OPK's came in the mail today 4 days too late!! So I have gone 4 days without OPK's, could have ovulated, but don't think I have. Arrrgh! Plus we haven't been dtd unprotected because I keep getting a bacterial infection, but now I have a yeast infection anyway. Is my vagina trying to tell me something!!?
Yes Tasha it's telling you "stop this torture and bring on the IUI!" You poor thing.
Joeve - AF! No way - that's crazy. I'm so sorry Was this just an unusual, evil cycle for you or do you think you need to be on progesterone?
Not much action here - except I think I'm putting back on the weight I lost because I've stopped jogging in the 2ww and am using progesterone - blah I'll probably POAS Friday.
Joeve - AF already!! Sounds like you need some prog support like many of us. So sorry the witch showed up instead of a BFP
Tasha - If I were you I'd be giving up on this cycle. What cd are you up to now? I'd have lost all patience. I'd get a bt to make sure I hadn't o'ed then get pills to bring on AF and get on with the bliss of IUI. I'm sorry money is adding to the stress. Do you know how much out of pocket you'll be from IUI? I've found there is a big difference in price from one clinic to the next up here. If you keep getting infections check out stuff about Candida (I think that's how you spell it). I'm not really sure what it is but it has been mentioned to me by several natural therapists and they have asked if I get a lot of infections (which I don't which is why I didn't pay so much attention) but they often mentioned it as being a key issue in fertility.
Saffy - How's the jabbing going? Sorry work is crazy busy, few days off will be nice for you.
Mich - I hate the 2 week on 2 week off diet/exercise thing I think I actually end up weighing more but it is so hard to stick to it in the TWW.
Minnie - Hi.
AFM - TWW has been easy so far. I think I am so convinced that nothing can possibly implant when I haven't had a proper AF lining shedding in 3-4 months that I totally don't expect to be UTD! Because of this I am in 2 minds about whether to go straight into IUI, I'd much rather start knowing I have a proper fresh lining in place. But at the same time I don't want to do a cycle in March as I don't ever want to be 6-7 weeks pg on Anzac Day again (mc on Anzac Day in 08 and 09) so I'll be taking that cycle off anyway and hopefully FS can then give me something to make sure the lining sheds. But then is the Feb one just a waste of money?!!
Mich - You know what motivates me? At the gym they have huge TV's on the wall and most of them play channel V music videos, just seeing those beautiful, toned, thin girls makes me sweat it out even more!! "lol"
Hi Minnie, Joeve and Saffy
AFM: DH and I had our counselling appointment yesterday. I have another appointment with my FS in 2 weeks and I will be meeting the nurses for the IUI. I'm assuming FS will give me provera or something similar to bring on AF and then I can start the drugs, YAY So hopefully we can get this show on the road by the end of the month!
Well I am having a bit of a bad day today, I just went feral at DH ooops...... anyway he will get over it I guess.
I will be without my japtop until next Tuesday and it would be fabulous if someone would look after our lovely action packed list while I am away. I will be here on my phone but I find it hard doing the list from the phone? Any takers?

Sunbeam - that's a tough decision to make but maybe you won't have to If this month isn't the one, would you be able to hold out until April? Wow that prog result is impressive, is that natural or on pessaries etc?
Saffy - I hope being busy keeps your mind off all the jabbing and waiting for things to happen!
Tasha - Yay, I'm so glad something's finally happening for you. You get the prize for patience!!! Your gym motivation made me laugh. I kind of find The Biggest Loser motivating actually, ha ha
Minnie - how's the 2ww? There should be lots of POAS action coming up with three of us only a day apart each!
Joeve - I'm so sorry you had a bad day- I'm sure DH will bounce back Hopefully he understands why with your surprise unwelcome visit from AF I'm happy to do the list while your away - unless anyone else wants to?
I'm plodding along, work is really busy so I can't obsess over the 2ww during the day Does the progesterone make anyone else really hungry? I've noticed it before but even more so now I'm counting calories and trying not to give in!!
I love the pictures on your list Joeve - so cute - so just kept it. Please let me know if I've made any mistakes or missed anything everyone!
I have no symptoms today. I had a little bit of cramping the last 2 days but often do. It might just be AF and the progesterone fighting for domination!
How's the high dose of clomid going Joeve? Any symptoms Minnie and Sunbeam?
Tasha - I'm so gald something is finally going to happen for you. IUI will seem like a breeze after waiting so long to O all the time.
Mich - No that is a peserie assisted prog count not that good by myself. The midwife was impressed by the number and said she'd cross her fingers for me which Kind of gave me a bit of hope for an hour or so but I'm back to total doubt now. No symptoms that are not caused by the prog. I don't think I've ever noticed it make me hungry, well done for not giving into it though. Are you going to test before your bt?
AFM - I watched a show last night about a guy who lived on juices for 60 days to get himself healthy (he had a life threatening illness and was on a lot of pills) and it was quite impressive. I think if this is not a successful cycle I might give it a go but only for 3 days or so. I started a bit of a health kick this month and have cut out all gluten, sugar, alcohol and junk food for the whole of Feb. I have now been 4 days without chocolate and have not even thought about it. The gluten is not to bad been trying tho do that for a while but it was so hard to find foods in the supermarket that do not list sugar as an ingredient! Going to have a smoothy now, yum.
The list looks great, thanks Joeve and Mich for managing it for us
I think I mentioned a few weeks ago about a client who has 2 young kids and she mentioned that she is 51. I had to ask her and she told me she married late had IVF at 45 got 5 eggs which made 3 embryos that fresh cycle produced her daughter who is 5 and she then did a FET at 48 and got her son who is 2. Let hope it does not take us that long but good on her.

You poor thing.

I'll probably POAS Friday.
So hopefully we can get this show on the road by the end of the month!

Hopefully he understands why with your surprise unwelcome visit from AF
