Sonja,

Can you squeeze in some time when the dh gets home from work? Or is he too

exhausted. I know would hop at the chance, but you're dh work may be

more strenuous and tiresome.

Just an idea. Someone else may have a better one.

Amy,

thanks, the problem is that our son wakes up about the time the dh. gets

back from work, so no rest for the wicked, or rather too much rest.

Anyways, I am hoping that he can come up with some excuse to get atleast

the 2 most crucial nights off, the rest of the time I suppose we can

just wing it.

Here's a laugh. He suggested leaving a little parcel for me by the

kettle with a turkey baster!!!!Won't that be fun!!:):):)LOL. They

can really be a scream sometimes...

On the u/s picture thing. I think it was really inconsiderate of her. At

the very least, she could have phoned you and told you about the u/s

asking if you would WANT to see the pics.I would get depressed also.You

aren't overreacting. I don't really think anyone in our situation could

be blamed for overreacting, we have every right to...

take care sweetie, and I really hope AF skips your house this month.

Here's some pos. vibes.

Sonja -

I am fine. Thank you so much for caring. I guess since we last spoke a lot

has happened here at the Darcy household. I have been so obsessed with ttc

that I know it has driven crazy. We are fighting like crazy because

all I want to talk about is the ep and ttc etc... I think reading and

posting to you all the time has only increased my obsession with everything.

I am trying to relax and get everything off my mind because I know it is

making things strained between me and . So I'm not charting temps or

counting days to O because it is stressing me out unbelievably. and I

had a long conversation and he doesn't feel that we should be trying to have

a baby now when we are at eachothers throats all the time. I know he is

right and I know it is mainly my fault because I am so obsessed with the ep

that I can't be happy. So for now, whatever happens, happens...

I am so sorry that things are so rough right now. Maby a break is a good

thing.We are also getting to a hard patch right now, and I am not sure

how to handle it. This whole business just isn't easy...

I really hope things settle down. If you need to talk, or yell or

anything, I am here for you.

take care

Sonja,

Today is CD#11 for me. Just for good measure we started last night - a

little practice never hurts. I bought my OPK last night. Here's a

question, should I start using it tonight? I have O around day 13-15, so I

don't know if it's too early. Any thoughts anyone?

I'm so glad that you are not having any pains. I think this is a very good

omen. No thoughts on wind pollonation, but maybe you can be waiting when

he gets in at 6:30. Set your alarm 15 minutes before and splash cold water

on your face to wake up. It could work

Hiya girls.

Well, I think Tara and myself are now CD#9, which leaves like what, 2

days before the bd. starts. , I am really worried about you. Are

you o.k.? Where are you now? Please let us know how you are.

I feel better about this cycle now. I have been charting religiously

since AF reared her ugly head, and I am going to use the OPK this time,

and I am exited about that. Anything new to give hope, hey? Our only

real hassle this month is my dh. working nights. He only gets home at

about 6.30 am, and then he sleeps till like 2pm. My son gets home from

playschool then, so we are stuck with no private time. I work all day,

and only get home about 30 minutes after my dh. leaves for work, so

heavens only knows how we are going to wing it this month. Any thoughts

on wind-pollonation would be greatly appreciated.LOL . this cycle has

got to count for us, coz we only have this one and the next left before

the clomid rounds start.

Some good news though. The pains I've been having has finally gone! I

can't believe it, I don't remember the last time that I didn't have

pains, this is great!

Anyways, let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to plan a schedule.

, please let us know how you are.

take care

sonja

,

Enrico and I are currently at the same point - at each other's throats. It

has been going on for the past week or so, and it is partly bc I am so

fixated with ttc. So don't feel bad - infertility is one of the most

difficult things a couple can face in a marriage. I will pray for you two.

And who knows, maybe the " whatever happens " attitude is all you need.

Hang in there.

Tara,

my OPK has a list inside that you use to figure out when to start

testing.I have also found out that it is best to test at about 2pm in

the afternoon. They don't recommend testing first thing in the am, since

it may be too early to detect a rise, and also not to test in the

evening, because you may have missed your warning.

here is what they say about when to test.

what you do is take your cycle length, and add on the number they give

you to the day you started your period, counting that day as 1.

24 day cycle add 7. 25 day cycle add 8. 26 day cycle add 9. 27 day cycle

add 10. 28 day cycle: add 11. 29 day cycle add 12. 30 day cycle add 13.

31 day cycle add 14. 32 day cycle add 15. and so on...

In other words, my period started on the 14th.My cycle length is usually

28 days, so I see I have to add 11 days starting with 14 ( my first day)

and doing that, I get 24. So I have to start testing today.

I hope this helps.Do your test though before tonight. Mine showed that I

am not about to O yet, but the line was almost as dark as the control

line, so I think I will get a pos. tomorrow, which means I should O

either Wednesday or Thursday. Anyways, I will let you know, and you do

the same, o.k.?

Have fun.
