    @heathaah: Free fertilization! Yay!! I'll take one or two of those coupons, too! :)  In reference to your comment about the Bruins/Flyers game last night, I'm not talking about it. I'm depressed. :(   lol

    @RosieGirl  I know how frustrating it is. :(  I'm so sorry. Hang in there!

    @Megan  That is hilarious what you and your husband did with him reporting "symptoms". Love it! The spilled coffee/spotting is the best. haha

    @SweetKate Sorry about the BFN, but this is great you are ready to do the IUI in the next month!!!

    Started Clomid last night. Grow follies, grow!!!!

    @heathaah: bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

    *sigh* I didn't THINK vit D/calcuim could be a problem, but it was a wishful thought, right?  Something easy to fix....

    So, I had some really weird cramping before I got up this morning.  Not sure what the heck it means, but it's not anything normal pre-AF.  Hmmmm.... Nope, not gonna get my hopes up!

     

    ohhhhhh, and forgot to mention, before they took my x-ray, the dr asked if I could be pregnant.  I looked at my FI and broke out giggling.  We said "not likely, but it's not out of the realm of possibility".  AND we told him, ok my FI 'cause I was still trying to hide the laughter at the question, that my fertile period was about 10 days ago.  Dumb ass doctor has to THINK ABOUT IT!  And asks if we test 15 mins ago.... uh... dude, we've been in YOUR ROOM FOR THE LAST 15 MINUTES!!!!!  

    Of course, he also asked where I got the "red mark under my eye".  It didn't dawn on me later, I got it from my sunglasses.  I was like "what red mark?  I have a red mark?!"  (Did I mention I'm not fond of this idiot dr?  'cause he's who treated my uncle and my uncle ended up dying from a heart attack????  because my uncle wasn't on the right meds???  Grudge? Me? Nooooooooo ;) )

    @Jenn23: thanks!  I think the coloring is lighter today, yay!  It's still sore, though.

     *snicker* I teased my FI about if we should go get a test and he said nah.  He also teased me about having "baked eggs" and "radioactive eggs"..... And this was in the room where I had my x-rays taken.  With a nurse nearby who MIGHT have overheard (not sure).  

    We're such baaaad people, lol

    @Candy_Nee: Thank you!! Here's to less side effects and lots of follies on the left side!! :)

     

    @Zinzerena: Radioactive eggs! lol Oh my gosh! So abnormal cramping sounds promising. This is the first time you've had cramps such as these? Go get a test!!!!! The suspense is killing me! lol

     

     @heathaah: Wow!! An 18 on Day 12. That's awesome!!! So you should be close and will do the trigger and IUI in a few days! Can't wait to hear the results!

    I have a feeling the ovidrel injection may be tonight, which actually kind of sucks in a way.  If the IUI was planned for a weekday, then my normal nurse would do it at the nearby (25 minute drive) hospital.  Also DH could do his part at home.  If I do the injection tonight and have IUI Saturday, I have to drive over an hour to the other location, have a different nurse, and DH has to masturbate in a strange room!  Also, if I don't know the nurse, I won't feel comfortable bringing my coupon!!!  :)

    @Jenn23: Well, I had a hydascan four years ago (while pregnant with my daughter due to a faulty gallbladder... we won't go there, it's a long story, lol) and they use actual radioative material during the test!!!!  It was kinda cool 'cause they had me hooked up to lots of monitors and I got to watch the stuff go through my body.  WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Out of a sci-fi movie! 

    I'm gonna wait till Saturday! :P  Though, honestly, I SHOULD get my period tomorrow.  IF I'm gonna get it.  

    My bet is on AF showing up.  Anyone else wanna start a betting pool???

    Ok, this is embarrassing but I must share!

    When this part of the month comes (where I have a good follicle), I always sing this song I made up, and DH laughs at me. 

    Sing it to the tune of I'm a Little Teacup!

     

    I'm a little follicle, small and round

    My estrogen is high and my lining is sound

    When the LH surges, as you know,

    Down the fallopian tube I go!

     

    Hahahahahhahahaha, I crack myself up sometimes!!

    @heathaah: LOL Awesome song! I just sang it and it is fantastic. Especially the last line. LOL  Well, I know it won't be as ideal if you have to drive on Saturday farther away (and not as comfortable for your husband!), but either way, I wish you luck!!! Keep singing that song. :)

     

     

    @Zinzerena: That scan sounds wild!! I hope you get news and that this is the month!

    @Jenn23: Good luck this month!!!!

    @Zinzerena: Vit D helps with the absorption of Calcium, so lack of makes you not absorb calcium, equally thin bones :) The dr prob thinks your FI is beating you!

    I lost my last post on the last thread, and now have no idea what I said!! Oh well. Happy cinco de mayo! For those of us not in the TWW yet, or for those of us that don't get a BFP and need a drink, here is a site with some margarita recipes!

    I'm soooo afraid of getting my hopes up (despite the magic eight ball, lol).  

    now watch, I'll end up getting AF early and it'll last an extra long time just to show me up.

    @Rosie Girl: *giggle* I know!  My FI even mentioned that!  Which is just DUMB because we're always in there laughing and joking with each other!  Or talking about family, finances, etc with jokes and innuendos thrown in for good measure!  

    mmmmm.... those recipes look yummy!!!!  But my FI has to work tonight, boo!!!  

    I stole a sip of my blackberry whiskey Tuesday night and nearly gagged on it.  Weird, cause it's REALLY GOOOOD.  Ended up having two glasses of pink lemonade to get rid of the taste of the whiskey.  And it was barely a cap full!!!

    @heathaah: Love the coupon, love the song, and hooray for an 18 already!  That's so awesome!  Hopefully the timing all works out for the IUI. 

     

    @Jenn23:  Good luck with clomid this month, and go lefty go! :)

     

    @Zinzerena: Hope AF stays away!

     

    So I took a cheapie test this morning and BFN.  I'm sad, even though I know it's still way too early.  I didn't want to set myself up for total heartbreak if it's still a BFN in a couple of days.  It's almost easier getting some of the dissapointment out now.  Hopefully I'll get a happy surprise next time I test :) I do have to check with my nurse to see when I do a final test and stop the progesterone if neg.

    So now the dilemma of when I test next with a good test - Sunday, 13dpiui, mothers day, so emotional charged if neg, but could tell my family in person and be an awesome day if pos.  Or Monday, 14dpiui, we'd be back home and just the two of us, so more private for either result.  Any advice?

    @heathaah: I LOVE THE SONG. I AM BACK. My wedding is over, so now it is time to focus on a baby. I stop taking my clomid and metformin like two months ago. So next period, I am back to meds. I have to read threads II-V now. :) I feel so lost of what has been happening in everyone's life.

    @MerryC: thank you!!!  

    I think I'd test Monday, because I'd be thinking Sunday would be ruined with a negative test.  And, it's be a little more fun to celebrate in private if it's a positive.  Or share disappointment if negative.  

     

    I know this is bad... but I'm almost tempted to go get a cheapy test and test tomorrow morning.  Of course, I could always just wait one day, lol.  GAAAAH I HATE NOT KNOWING!!!!!!!  

    Bah, it's only one day.  I think I can wait that long. Maybe.

    @MerryC: I think you tested too soon! I would test monday. It would be nice to be just the two of you, and you just in case is it BFN, you won't be all down on Sunday. BUT, I still hoping for a BFP!!!!!!!

    @April222011: Congrats on the wedding!!!!! When is AF due?

    @Zinzerena: I have no patience, and always break down and test!

    @Rosie Girl:  @Zinzerena:  Thanks for the advice ladies.  I think it's wise to plan for worst case scenario, so I think I'll wait until we're back home to test.

    I just heard back from my nurse.  She said to wait until the 10th - Tuesday - AHHHH!! That feels like forever, but now I guess I just want the best shot possible at a BFP, so I think I might try to wait that long.  She also said if it's neg on Tuesday, I can wait two more days and test again, then stop the progesterone and wait for my period if still negative.

    @Rosie Girl: lol, usually I don't, but since I'm still betting on AF showing, I really don't see a reason to get a test.  IF AF doesn't show, THEN I'll buy a test.  

    I blame my FI.  And my hate for buying tests that aren't gonna be postive.  Every time I've gotten a negative test, I keep thinking "I should've just waited.  That was a waste of money."  

    I know, I know, I'm awful to think that way....

    @Zinzerena:  I know, I've stopped keeping the good tests in the house for the same reason.  They're so darn expensive!  But then I always wonder if the cheapie internet ones are as sensitive or reliable.  I know they should be, but....  This month, I have to buy them though, since the progesterone will keep AF away.  I figure since we're spending so much at the RE, what's another $10 for a couple tests? :)
