So, my progesterone dropped from 18 to 15, another thing to freak me out. I'm on progesterone suppositories inserted vaginally 6 a day! I've never inserted anything with my finger before, so this is another new thing for me! Plus I gave myself a shot for the first time yesterday because I was at work when the time came. The prog is making me cramp a little which is also scaring me. Thursday can't come quick enough I tell ya!
Wow Jacque I can't imagine keeping a pg a secret until 35 weeks! I wouldn't be able to hide it anyway, I pop out at like 3 months, lol.

Linda - wow on a progesterone supplement 6 times a day! I am on a suppository where it is inserted before bed and I think that is nasty. I also cramp from them - hopefully means they are working and all is OK!
Jacque - I don't understand why people wait that long to tell people??? Like Linda I show early.

I know, I can't stand the progesterone suppositories. They leave me feeling not so fresh down there and I have to do it all day long, 2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 at night, so I don't even want DH to touch me, poor DH. I hope he can last another month!
I talked to the nurse today and she said mild cramping is fine, if it gets worse or there is bleeding I need to call them. She said my progesterone dropped too much that's why I'm on such a high dose. At least I know it won't be forever!
I just learned to give myself a shot in the tummy today, it's a little easier than trying to maneuver getting it into my rear. The first one this morning I didn't even feel, no pain at all, it was kind of weird, sticking a needle in myself and not feeling a thing, but then tonight's hurt some, I guess it depends if you hit a nerve or not.
Well, I'm trucking along, 3 more days til my u/s. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself on Thursday, the appt isn't until 2:30 in the afternoon! I'm going to be a wreck!

Linda - I know what you mean about the feeling not so fresh because of the stupid progesterone.
I hope you get great news on Thursday. I always make early appts because I know I am a bad waiter for u/s! I was annoyed that my next appt had to be 10:45.

Linda: Shots? Suppositories? You sound like a walking science experiment. I hope all of it is more then worth it and you will soon forget all about these things when you are holding your baby. Thursday is just right around the corner and I cannot wait to see your baby's first photo. When you see that little heartbeat you will feel so much better! --- though it sucks that your appointment is so late in the day!
Diane: You are using the suppository also? Or did I read that wrong?
If you have time... take a look at my chart... it looks completely different then another other chart I have ever had? What is your take on it?

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/947c8I have no clue why you cannot see the tickers.... did you recently make changes to your virus software or firewall? What exactly do the suppositories do? Jacque

Jacque - I would say you haven't O'd yet? was your OPK really negative today? ? It is weird and yes we upgraded our virus protection, do you think that is the cause? what do I need to do? ? I hate seeing no one's tickers The suppositories is just extra progesterone and helps to lower risk of m/c. I am on them because Clomid can thin the lining

Diane: As for not seeing anyone's tickers.... you have your virus protection set up to block certain outside images. You need to add the ticker sites to the list of sites your computer will accept images from. What type of software do you use? If it is something I am familiar with I can walk you though it.
Linda: Thursday is almost here. Your appointment is in about 27 hours!!! The wait is almost over!!!
My OPK today is definitely positive. The on I took on CD14 was almost positive, but not quite. Originally I had it logged as positive because yesterday was negative and I thought that My O timed already happened, but since I have been so sick I am a little dehydrated and I am not going as much, I think that is why my OPK's have been so screwy. --- I also do not know what to do with my temps, I am so sick and cannot breathe out my nose so I know my temps are not accurate. I will not discard any of them (the ones that are off are Sun, Mon, and Tues) until after I get my cover line, then I will go from there. I know I am ovulating today..... so as far as I am concerned I am in the TWW and I will be testing on the 20th, if not sooner. --- I did the unthinkable last night. Mike is getting what I have, and he could not physically baby dance. His member was ready, he just could not do it. So.... we had him get off in the Instead Cup and then I put it in. I do not believe we did that, but he was worried we would miss the window if we didn't. It was a good thing we did.... I felt some O pain earlier... We will dance tonight and again on Thursday just to be sure we have all of our bases covered.

You're too funny Jacque! The things we do to TTC! I heard of this girl who had her BIL send his deposit in fed exed to her and her DH, and her DH turkey basted the deposit into her (I guess her DH doesn't have any swimmers). Talk about a home chemistry experiment! LOL!
