    Morning ladies,

    Flowerchild-Hope you have a great weekend. See you on Monday.

    Emmydee- Good luck with your natural cycle who knows you might you surprise us all with some wonderful news. I hope so

    Big hugs and kisses to all you gorgeous girls.

    Well I am up bright and early to go into the city for a blood test to see how my hormones are traveling. The Dr will call me this afternoon so I will fill you all in later today. After my bloods are done I am heading out shopping for the day with two of my old work friends so I am really looking forward to spending the day with them. I'll catch you all a little later.

    Ktgirl - good luck today with your blood test

    Emmydee - sounds like you are having my temping nightmares lol. I also have nightmares about my toothbrush - must be something about putting things into my mouth.

    And no, my FS didn't monitor me with scans when I started clomid last time. I had BTs at CD23 and CD31 and that was only for the first month, once I had ovulated she said there was no need to continue with BT's in subsequent months. Now that I have changed FS and with the m/c it sounds like I am going to have some more monitoring - which is great for a control freak like me.

    Deb - Hope you had a great weekend of shopping and spend some quality time with your DH before he flies out.

    BW - Good luck with your GTT. I've had it before, so I recommend taking a good book to read in the waiting periods

    Willow - I agree that sometimes you need to have a break, especially from the scheduled BD. That's what these last few weeks have been like to us, my DH said he doesn't feel like a stud for once hehe. If he ever complains about having to "put out on demand" I just like to threaten him with having to do the sperm analysis again - my Dr told him to abstain for 5 days and he nearly died LOL

    Hello to everyone else!!! Hope you are all being good, because Christmas is nearly here!

    5 days! My DH only has to abstain for 3... and that was the only reason I could get him to BD last night! The first semenologist that we saw said anything longer than 4 days starts to reduce semen quality as the sperm are sitting about waiting for too long. We really need to BD more often!

    It's very quiet here this weekend... hopefully everyone's having a good one... I just feel like an eating machine!

    Well the blood test did not go as well as I had planned. Dr called about lunch time to say that it doesn't appear that the injections have done much so far this month :frown: I am a bit annoyed as I had the same amount of injections last month and it worked so what the heck is going on with my body. I now have to drive back into the city again tomorrow to QLD fertility group and pick up more needles and another cartridge for my pen and do some more injections this time at a slightly higher dose. I then have to go back in again on Wed for a scan. Argh this is really starting to get to me. I definitely need a break after this month because this is taking a toll on me mentally and emotionally. I was out with some girlfriends shopping when I got the call from my Dr and burst into tears in the middle of the shops so felt like a real tool. I feel like I have just had enough.

    Sorry girls I really needed to vent to you guys because you understand.

    I hope you are all having a good day.

    :hugs: Ktgirl. If it's any comfort, I got the phone call from my gyn to let me know I hadn't ovulated in the middle of the main street of Rozelle, and promptly burst into tears as well.

    We do understand, and we do know all too well how it feels. I hope the higher dose does the trick and that break turns into a nice, long 9 months.

    Hi Ktgirl I'm so sorry that your b/t didn't go as well as you'd hoped. Ipray that the higher dose of injections does the trick for you and you get your much wanted bfp soon sweety. I also hope all goes well on Wednesday with your scan. Try to relax hun( I know easier said than done) but I'm sure your bfp is just around the corner. Make sure you have a fantasic Christmas and I'll catch up with you in a few weeks

    Hi to all you great women out there. Thank you for your kind wishes. I sure do hope you all have a great christmas. See you all soon
