Isramom: I haven't heard of tree oil. I use benadryl cream. It soothes it and takes the heat off the bite.
Tara: I hope these last two weeks go by fast it feels like its already over but we still have assignments due.
I will respond more tomorrow. I slept all day today. Only woke up to do the first of the month bills and then went right back to sleep. Af is supposed to show up today and still no signs of her at all. I hope I can last the wait for the test.

Christine - Whoops, sorry I missed you last time! Interesting that FF got a different date than you. I have a feeling this is your month, though - you've been too un-stressed about it and having too much fun for it not to be.. ;) I had a control line, no test line. I think Nicole said the best time is mid-morning or early afternoon, so that's what I've been doing this cycle. Last cycle I was doing it in the evening. When did you stop nursing? Maybe I am normal, after all. :) I know what you mean about a high baby fever, I think we all have it. Tara - Brave girl with the HSG! Glad it went well. Hm, dye. Interesting. Good to hear that Dr. B. didn't find anything abnormal. Yikes, I can see why you were always nervous. I guess you're one good reason (or statistic) proving that abortions aren't always necessary. Thank G-d you're healthy, huh? Let's hope this is your month! Maybe OPK's just don't work for me. It's kind of depressing, though. I just realized that what I considered dry might be sticky, and what I considered weird (i.e., wet underwear - sorry TMI!) is probably watery. Hm, makes sense. I thought I was smart, though. We've been BD'ing, but only since CD12. I don't think I missed O though. IF I O'd, that is. Alix - Tea tree oil is useful for tons of stuff - getting rid of a stuffy nose, helping a sore throat, pimples, bug bites, etc. Hope you get a BFP this month! (Or no AF and a BFP from your doctor.) Nicole - Praying that those two little ones stick! GL today! AFM - Took another OPK today and no test line at all. Also less CM. I made an appointment for the 12th with a new OB/GYN, because I feel like my old one won't take me seriously. Maybe I should go to a different type of doc instead? AF should hopefully appear (or hopefully not appear) before the 16th or 19th, but FF is giving me the 14th. Bummer.

Hello Ladies :) Ok, I'll try to catch up as much as I can... Brie- COngrats, she is beautiful. I agree breastfeeding is more demanding than I think pregnancy. I"m always hungry and exhausted. Nicole - OMG, this is so exciting!!! I can't wait to hear!!! Tara- Good luck this month. I really hope things will be perfect fo you this month! Oh man, I can't remember everyone but congratulations to those with BFPs and babies. I"ve been thinking of all of you! AFM - Arrietta is turning 6 months next week. Amazing how time flies. And I love everyone's generosity but OMG I have enough clothes for her to change every hour! LOL

Oh my gosh ladies, I'm sorry I haven't been on to update you all! IVF is done! We transfered 2 embryos both graded A-, one of them had 8 divided cells and the other had 7 :) As for the other one's some were very close behind in grades and cells so they will wait until Day 5 (tomorrow) to see which will be still be viable and they will freeze them. So, there are two little beans inside me right now! So, it's definite my 1st Quant Beta HCG is the 10th and my 2nd is the 12th! This is amazing!! Thank you so so so much for all your prayers and sticky wishes ♥ It brings tears to my eyes, I feel so loved and supported by all you wonderful ladies ♥ Tara: So glad you're done with the HSG! I know, it IS pretty uncomfortable :( How are you feeling today, still crampy? It's true it CAN make you much more fertile and "ready" since your tubes are cleared out and the dye acts in your favor. OOOh, yay you go back Mon! Are you thinking of going through with IUI this time? How much will it cost? It seems as though Dr. B is highly recommending it for you. Christine: I couldn't help but see those cross hairs! Yay for 5 DPO! :) Simone: OOh, you may have O'd yesterday with that nice temp rise! FX'd your temps keep up ;) I need to catch up with everyone else, please bear with me if I'm slow going with the posts. I may need to just pick up here, I hope you all understand. Love and ((HUGS)) ♥

Tara Sorry the test procedure was painful, but glad your tubes are clear. GL with the cd13 u/s! When will they do the IUI? Lisa Wow, 6 months old! Happy half year birthday, Arrietta! Love her name! It is nice to have people give clothes for new babies. I had gotten a ton of boxes for my oldest that I gave a lot away. Wish I would have kept more for my next son, but I lived in an efficiancy and didn't have the room to keep it all! Christine Yay for getting CH's! gl with your race! That is a great way to keep your mind off the 2ww. Are you going to do any sightseeing while you are there? Alix have you tested! Nicole I hope everything is fine with you! We have all been thinking about you! GL and FX for all of us! AFM Holy temp rise today! I was so sure I would O today, but with my temp rise today it had to have been yesterday. I just hope we weren't too late as we hadn't dtd since Saturday up until last night. I just hope the egg wasn't released until the afternoon as the window for conception is so small. We almost didn't even dtd because my oldest had friends over and were in his room which is directly under my room and Len would not sleep in his crib. Today I have to clean up the kitchen, Len's room and take care of laundry. All of which I hate doing, but they need to get done. Tomorrow my IL's maybe coming over.

Isramom- Yes, I was very relieved to know that my HSG was normal and that tugging in the back of my mind is diminished now. I'm very glad my Mom decided no matter what the outcome she'd keep me :) I'm really bad with checking CM....kinda lazy about doing it. I usually only do what I notice. I only ever got one + OPK although that ws after I started clomid. I hadn't been Oing before that or was doing it on the wrong days. I think finding a new OB/GYN may be a good plan since it sounds like the one you have has put you off. If anything they should at least reassure you or offer to investigate further. I'm thinking that maybe your body is still figuring itself out after breastfeeding? Ovulation can be sporadic when BFing. Lisa- Arietta is 6 months already?!?! Wow, time flies. So glad to hear from you. I can only imagine how many baby clothes you must have. How does Nathan like being an older sibling? Nicole- I'm am totally thrilled that your transfer went well! Sound like you got some good little beans in there. Now they just need to stick! While reading your post I couldn't help but do a little happy dance for you ;) This really is happening! I will add you're dates to the board. Are you taking any more meds for the rest of your cycle or no? Can't wait till the 10th and 12th!! I felt fine pretty much immediately after the procedure and still. Just intense cramping with that darn balloon. Dr. B wanted the info from the HSG before moving ahead with IUI and now that it's okay IUI will be a good plan for us. I think he said it's about $275 for the sperm wash and IUI itself. Of course we have the added costs of all the other stuff we've been doing like the hCG injections ($200) and US's ($75/per US). It's adding up that's for sure. Already spent almost $500 on just the HSG this month. DH and I are on board with doing IUI this month so we shall see. Simone- Hope that you were able to catch that egg! Sounds like you have to get your BDing in around the kids schedules which sounds tough. I'd BD again just for good measure! The HSG wasn't so much painful as it was increadibly uncomfortable. I go Monday for a CD13 US, so I should know when we'll do the IUI once my follicles mature enough to trigger. Hopefully soon. I'm guessing mid next week.

Trent, Ty (spiderman) Eli (brighter green shirt), Peyton (darker green shirt) and Lennox. He didn't like wearing the costume at all! 
This one I found on my camera and believe one of the twins took it. This is of Ty and Lennox. Oh keep in mind Ty was almost 16 and Len was 2.5. in no time at all Ty is going to be shorter than my twins.
