Guest guest Posted January 30, 2001 Report Share Posted January 30, 2001 Dana, You forgot?! Definately must have been the denial...I hope you get the urge to call and set up the test today...you are keeping us all in suspense! If you don't do it for yourself, do it for us! LOL Seriously, let us know when you reschedule the test as we will be anxiously awaiting your results.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 Wow Dana, Your parents and sister are incredible! That was so nice of them to open their hearts and homes to needy children. Dh has been talking about adopting a needy child for a long time. The only problem I had with it was that he was adamant on wanting to adopt a negro teenage boy. I'm not prejudice, I just think he's trying to make more of a statement by picking a specific type of child; I think if you want to help a needy child, you should be open to whoever comes your way - not to preclassify others. Dh is a really good person, but sometimes he takes a good idea and twists it a little funny (if you know what I mean). maria Re: AF finally shows...cd1 tomorrow > , > > Right now the babies are just in foster care, however they are trying to > adopt them as soon as the mother's rights are terminated (if that ever > happens).

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2001 Report Share Posted February 4, 2001 Keri I hope you are feeling better. It seems like the colds going around are worse than ever. You have to ttc before you O. Once your temp goes up it means you have already O'd. You should get the book Take Charge of your Fertility. It totally explains how to chart. I know there is a free on line chart but I am not sure of the name. Someone else here might know. The book also explains how to read your cm. When you cm is like egg white and really stretchy you are very fertile. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 Dominique The difference with IUI is that the sperm is washed first and put directly in the uterus. So it skips the cm. The cm is what keeps the sperm alive for a period of time. Thats why its so confusing on the timing. How long do the sperm live then. My dr office said 24 hours. I have read 6-12 w/IUI. But I would keep doing it your way for natural bd. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 I get it now (finally)! One other question. You usually do two IUI inseminations right? Maybe there's a way to do one the morning following a +OPK and one the next afternoon - You know what I mean - the day after and the next day but spaced morning and afternoon? There's got to be some kind of scientific way to do this...well, I'm sure I'm no help. Do you get an ultrasound this month to see where the follies are coming from?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Dana, That was so sweet that you shared all of us with your RE. I also spoke about the group today at my doctor's; there was a woman there who thought she was having an ep. I told her about my ep and tried to answer some of her questions. Then I told her about all of you and how helpful and supportive everyone has been. And that I wouldn't be where I am emotionally without all of you. Hopefully she'll be okay, if not, I hope she takes my advise, and looks into the group. I'm sorry you had to experience so much cramping. Like you said, hopefully it will help! ++++++++++++ thoughts and :::::::::::::::::: baby dust for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maria Re: Re: Elle's U/S > Elle, > > I can only imagine in my wildest dreams what it must be like to finally see > that your little one is there and swimming around right where he/she is > supposed to be.
