Brenna- Where's that baby bump pic?

I already have an enormous bump, I think it's from all of the bagels I have been eating to help with the m/s

April- Thinking of you Hun!!

Hmmm bump pics please!!!

Not sure what to think this morning with my temps. my sleep schedule has been so compromised with DH getting up early and leaving the **** bathroom light on in our master bedroom...making noise...waking me up to say good-bye. Maybe I did ovulate, maybe I didn't. Only the blood test will decide I guess. But I'm thinking of doing OPKs next month. Hmm....

Shawna - I highly recommend the Clear Blue Easy Ovulation Monitor. It's a little pricey but has been sooooooo reliable for me and has really helped me learn so much about my body every month. I tried charting temperatures for months and months and never got a good, clear pattern. I bought the CBEOM and have been using it every month I haven't be doing IVF for the past year and a half. It's worth every penny.

Funny you should bring that up...but I have one. I stopped using it and thought it was faulty because it never showed Ovulation but come to think about it....I never ovulated on my own before. All I have ot do is change the batteries and buy new sticks! Thank you for reminding me...I'm so doing that!

[goob07]

Good! I really love mine. I got so excited every time I saw the little egg in the window! And it helped fulfill my addiction to peeing on sticks.

[Angelwithhope]

I sure hope it works better for me now though! lol

Good luck April!! Post when you know something Mel.

Ronni, I just buy a bunch of the dollar OPK sticks from early-pregnancy-tests.com. They send a bunch of HPT tests with them also...which helps with my POAS addiction too. I've no tried the brand you and Shawna have, I've heard its good though. What I wanted to know though is if any of you have ever tried the ovulation watch? I've heard thats pretty good too, but I've never heard of anyone using it. Oh well, come next week ( AF shows soon) I won't need them anyway....it will all be done by u/s. I'll still use my sticks though...theres no getting around that addiction!

So, today our hot-tub arrives!! Its only a little one, a 2/3 seater, but our crackhouse is only tiny so any bigger would have looked silly. Its a shame it has to sit amongst the hideous garden, but hopefully we can do something about that in the spring. Meanwhile...while I'm not TTC...bring on the bubby!

Hi Alana nice to see you are back on here!!

I am a little late but my DH does most of the cooking in our house he just has a great nack for it.

Hope everyone is having a great day (got the time right this time I checked hehe)

Cannot wait to hear about April!

I’m trying to lurk and type but I’m too scared that an inspector will pop in out of no where. Boo! Inspectors need to go home already. There is nothing worse than being on pins and needles and walking on egg shells around inspector. Okay, maybe waiting for a beta is just as bad but still. Grrrr! I miss you all. I feel like a closet “junkie” trying to read the forum with a small screen pulled up. The things we do … Hope every one is having a fantastic day.

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Fertility Test Strips

Mrs Jen, our scientist. Is this a load of phooey? It has peaked my interest as I've always wondered abotu egg quality for myself.

[Angelwithhope]

Alrighty, I'm starting to get motivated. I'm going to try and get them to coincide my IUI u/s and the one I need for IVF. Hopefully they'll be willing to do that. I also pulled out my IVF paper work and it is saying that I need an HSG again but my doctor the last time around said no, I didn't need it so now I'm completely confused. I also need to get DH and I into to do all the necessary blood work and to remember to do CD 3 blood work next cycle. Other then that, phew, I think I'm out of my funk and onto taking matters back into my own hands.
