Hi ladies! Sorry I did not get to buddy groups yesterday!
Well, I am on CD14... and we are baby dancing at least once a day. So help me this better be it! I thought that Mike was the one that would tire of the sex everyday, but he loves it. I am the one that has to be remind that we are on a TTC mission.... sometimes I am just so tired! LOL Don't get me wrong, it is great once we get into it... I should ovulate within the next 48 hours. For the last 4 cycles my Ovulation day has been on either CD15 or CD16.
The new series of unfortunate events book came out yesterday, So I Have been reading up a storm. I love this series about as much as the Harry Potter series. The cool thing is that there is only one book left (out of 13) in the Series of unfortunate events that needs to be published... so hopefully this time next year I will be done with them. I am so excited to see how it ends... though I think the harry potter books will have a better ending.
I am also in the process of planning a HUGE party for the AOH that will be taking place this Saturday. I have to finish getting together the awards and whatnot, but for the most part everything is falling right into place. It should be an awesome time, but then again it can be a pain planning a party for teenagers, you never know what they are "to cool" to do. BUT the thing is that once they get over their "coolness" then they really have a good time. We are going to have pumpkin decorating contest, bob for apples, have some races, and eat... eat... eat! Well, They will.. I will be a good girl and not eat like a cow. This week is going much better then last.. I have already lost one pound!
As for potty training.. I have trained 16 kids... and not one of them did it a second before they were ready. Most of the time it happens right around 2 years 10 months.. but most of my boys were not completely trained until the month they turned 3 years. All you can do, is constantly make them aware of the potty. If they have a dirty diaper, ask them if they peed or pooped, that way they have an idea of what is coming out when. Also, read potty books to them, and ask them if they want to do. Do not set them on the potty unless they day yes... if you do that it will become more of a "scary" thing then anything. Not sure if this helps.. but I hope it gets you all going in the right direction!
I hate baseball, but since I love you I will cheer for the Sox and the Cardinals!
Love and babydust!
Jacque

Awwww... Diane, I'm sorry there won't be any follicles. Did you miss O? Or do you think you just haven't yet? Jacque - thanks for the PT advice, we are going to wait a few months before trying again I think. I really hope this is the month for both of you! My surgery is friday, I'm getting a little nervous.

Diane: throw those damn OPK's away, they just cause stress! You are going to go to the DR today, they are going to see some nice follicles, and then you are going to Ovulate tomorrow. All is well!!!
Linda: I would be nervous if I were you also, but I know everything is going to turn out just fine. You will have your surgery - rest and recover for a few days - then have a wonderful anniversary - then before you know it Halloween, Thanksgiving, and New Years will have come and gone.... you will be on your cruise, and then it will be time to start baby dancing! Just think, if you get a BFP the first month back to TTC, and Diane and I get BFP this month.. there will only be a 5 month age difference between our kids! WooHoo!
You know... once all of our babies are born we should all meet up for a big dinner somewhere... you, your kids, and your hubbies... what do you think? It would be a nice way to celebrate... we could even have it at my house, I think I am about half way between where the two of you live! I know that it is weird meeting people off of the Internet, but by then we will know each other so much better... think it over!
Love and super powerful fantastic baby dust!!!

LOL Jacque, you always make me feel better! I joined a TTC in Chicagoland a little bit before I joined our group, and I already met them too, it was lots of fun! I enjoy meeting people off the internet!

Getting together would be neat - especially to celebrate our new little ones ;D Doc appt was OK: Doc want over s/a results DH is normal or above normal in same cases. count was over 60 Million - so lots of good swimmers - normal is anything over 50 Million Motility is over 65% - normal 50% - 80% Forward progression is a 4 - above normal , so DH sperm swim very well , normal is 2.5 - 3.5! my u/s shows an egg over 22MM and that is a size that I could O anytime, well my OPK's are still very negative so doc was worried to give me a trigger just in case this isn't a good egg, so I need to keep doing OPK's to see when I will O! so looks like the problem is me! Then if no BFP I will need to get a HSG done and a post-coital test done (to see how DH's sperm does in my CM)! Then 3 cycles of Clomid left, and we will move to IUI or less we get bad results to the post-coital test then will do that next cycle! But last night Iw as thinking why should I wait I have been waiting for 18 months, I just want to get pg and if IUI will up my chances why would it be any different than conceiving naturally? So I have this cycle to think about it! Jacque - have you O'd yet? Not here, hoping for a + OPK today? ? or else my egg was a dud!

Well, I'm back, it wasn't too bad, I'm just cramping and bleeding now, but they didn't find anything, not even a polyp, so my uterus is in tip top shape, must be something else!

Diane: WooHoo for the TWW, thank GOD this cycle feels like it is taking forever, at least we are now in the home stretch, so... when are you testing. Linda: ;D I am so happy that your uterus is in tip top shape! WooHoo that is such good news. How will the aspirin, heparin shots and prednisone keep you from having a m/c? What do all of these meds do, and how do they help? I am such a worry wart, I just want to be sure that the DR's know what they are talking about. Love and baby dust! Jacque
