OMG, I did something stupid. My DH was haivng friends over, and I was totally left out. All his friend, they were from the work. So, of course, I was left out, not knowing what the ^(&^(^&^*&%^$ they were talking about half the time time. NO, 80% the time. And then they all started talking about my IF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And how I shoujdl stop trying and then it will happen. How I should 'relax' because 'noboyd gets pregnant by thinking about it'. Stupid, no? And they were all encouarging me to drink. So, I got angry. VERY angry, and I said FINE. So I drank 1.5 beers in under 2 minutes. :( Now I'm so mad and angry at myself. Now I am scared that I screwed myself for BFP, or that I may have done damage if there is a baby in there? PLease tell me I"m wrong and that one and a half beer (Dh finsihed the second) won't hurt my chances of BFP or hurt a baby. :( I"m so mad at them, at DH and most of all....at me.

"Princess", I am sure that your baby will be fine! I know a lot of women (including myself with my second child, a son) don't even know they are pregnant during the first month and drink alcohol. My son was very healthy! I know how frustrating it can be, and sometimes we tend to let ourselves down, whenever we lose faith about having a miraculous baby growing inside of us. Please keep the faith about your upcoming positive! I will pray for you. Sincerely, Tam
:angel:

Princess I completely agree with Fishinarkansas. Most of my friends didn't know they were pregnant and because none had any IF issues, most didn't abstain from alcohol/seafood etc. and all their babies were perfect.

Those situations where you're not quite 'in the know' re. conversation topics are horrible, and boring after a while:yawn: but they should never have been so forceful with their views. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but it's quite a private topic and people should treat it with respect. They should also have more respect for you dolly. I hope your DH stuck up for you both, but don't beat yourself up about it.

Drink some green tea, eat healthily, go for a walk and concentrate on that BFP;)

Princess, I have been following your cycle and just wanted to tell you that your chances for that BFP are still very high. Basically when you are prego the placenta starts to take over the nutrition of the baby (from what you eat) around 8 weeks or so and its really not even fully functional until after 12 weeks (thats why your hormones shift again at the end of the first trimester). While its important to not have alcohal, drugs etc everyone is correct in that 1 or 2 drinks will not hurt your baby at this point. I would just try and relax and give yourself a break because IF is a really sensitive subject and those friends should know better. I hope your weekend got better and I can't wait to hear about your beta next week. :angel:AimeeM

Princess, it's awful that you feel so uncomfortable in your own home. I am not a doctor but, I really think you are safe as far as the 1 1/2 beers. I agree and have seen myself many of my friends and one of my sisters having a couple drinks on more than one occasion before knowing they were pregnant. All of the babies were perfect.
Unfortunatly, sometimes people feel like they need to say something about things they know nothing about. They probably meant well and don't even realize just how offensive the comments were. The truth is that nobody knows what they would do if they were in your situation.
I do hope you feel better about this and get back to enjoying the fact that your BFP is right around the corner!!! Hugs!!!

Princess do not beat yourself up about that 1.5 beers you have not done any damage to pevent your BFP. Amy is also right that the placenta only properly takes over at 8 weeks so it cannot harm your chance of a BFP at all. I am sorry that DH's friends were so rude.

Good luck for your beta tomorrow or Tuesday I hope AF has not shown her ugly face.

Thinking of you my friend
Love
Char

Princess, please don't be angry w/ yourself. All the girls are right, you did nothing terrible. All my pg books say that having a few drinks before finding out you are pregnant is nothing to worry about. I have also seen friends deliver healthy babies who drank during their pregnancy before finding out they were pregnant. Don't loose hope.

I have to say though that I am very angry your DH put you in that situation again!! He needs to respect your privacy & not discuss these sensitive issues w/ his friends! I hope that he will see the error in his ways & try to make it up to you.

Sending you huge hugs. We are always here for you.

Holly

Hey Princess sweetie. I am so sorry to hear how worried you are. I agree with Holly... It's unfortunate you were even put in such a situation! But there is no way you have harmed your baby or any chance of a BFP. I know women who enjoy an occasional glass of wine thruout their entire pregnancy and trust me, unless you are drinking some fancy import, beer has way less alcohol content than wine or liquor. I promise honey, no harm done. But I feel for you cause I know I'd feel bad about it too. Keep your chin up... Your beta will bring you some great news next week! Hugs and love, Kari

Princess- I agree with everyone else. I dont think that 1.5 beers is going to hurt at this point. However, you stressing out about it is! Relax, its over! Do something that will make you feel good about yourself~ Im sure your BFP is right around the corner!!! ;)

Princess my friend drank 2-3 beers a day throughout her whole pregnancy and her baby is fine so I know you have nothing to worry about. Wishing you all the best.

Cashahn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pricess dear, I know you're frustrated with yourself for giving in, but pls don't worry 1.5 drinks is nothing... I do have friends who drank way more and their babies are fine. Beer also gets out of your system very quick... so pls do not worry on that account... take care and looking forward to hearing the best news from you!

Princess,

I hope that this will make you feel better... I was SO good with all of my cycles with following all of the rules. Except for the very last one where DH and I went on the cruise. I was so convinced that that IUI was not going to work either. We were away for 7 days, and I had a glass of wine every night the first four nights with dinner, and once or twice had another drink later on in the evening. Of course when I found out about the BFP, that was it -- but while we were away, I had said 'Heck with it, I am going to enjoy myself". And I worried for a bit when I got back, but both the RE and my regular OBGYN said not to worry about it ONE BIT. They said at that point there is NO communication between your blood and the baby's and so not to give it another thought. The recommendations are there because (1) some people do not realize they're pg until much later, and may have continued to drink (2) regular alcohol consumption can decrease fertility.

So, I am 110% that you are fine.

I really hope that you're feeling better!

Princess
I am sure you have nothing to worry about too. Beer has less alcohol content than most other drinks. Even during pregnancy small amounts are not prohibited.Just wanted to drop a line to wish you all the very best. Really hope that this will be it for you.

Amy

Princess, I agree with all the ladies and AimeeM is very accurate in her response. I feel bad that you were put in that situation at all. You have enough going on without that. Don't worry about it, you did nothing wrong. hugs.
Lisa

Oh Princess, dont beat yourself over this issue. As a matter of fact, 30, 40 years ago, doctors were recomending up to 2 glases of wine every evening to pregnant women to help them sleep, I know it sounds weird, but that was back then, and babies came out just fine. My MIL did this while pregnant with my DH, thruought her pregnancy, and all is fine, and healthy.
Take care and good luck to beta appt. Are you going to HPT?
Mady

Hi Princess,

I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you hon. I hope AF hasn't shown up & you get to go in for beta. I really think this might be your cycle!! What w/ that high progesterone level & all...:)

Hope you are feeling better after that evening you had.

Love,

Holly

Princess I hope that AF has not shown her ugly face so you can go for a beta today:D:D. I am sure you will be posting a BFP:D:D.

Thinking of you. I hope you are feeling better;)

Love
Char

Ladies, I am honestly moved to tears by how sweet and helpful you all have been. I really do appreciate everyone's input so so so much. I truly do.

Unfortunately. About an hour or so after I wrote that post, I started spotting. I don't know what I had hoped for, but maybe something to do with BFP? But then it became more and more apparent, it was indeed AF. I am honestly more shocked than sad---- I really thought BFP! That makes me sound really crazy now, lol.

It would have been fine, but I found out one of DH's cousins is pg (not the evil cousin). She is really sweet and her husband is very kind, so I know they will be good parents. The only thing that kind of bites is that Dh and I have been married 2 years, while they have been married 5 months. :eek: I am happy for her----I know I am deep down below the mess of disappointment and badness that I feel. But honestly, when I heard that she is pg-----my first thought is that "She has my baby". How silly is that? :o

And then I heard another story, about this cousin's friend. She was married, but going to university, and she got pg with twins. But then she lost them at 12 weeks.....but she was happy about it!!! Because she wanted to keep going to school......but how could she have been happy about it??? :mad: And NOW, and here's the cherry onthe sundae of the day, she's pg with TRIPLETS!! I'm a pretty religious person---but when I here of things liek that---it makes it so much harder.

I'm so sorry---I've been so negative this entire thread. :( I really must pull myself up. I guess, at the very least-- I got my BFN from AF---not from a beta or hpt. And we can start right away on next cycle. Although----Dh IS working the bad shift where we can hardly BD during the important days. But we never know, right?

Oh Princess dearest -- I am so so sorry that AF showed... I had also really set my heart on your BFP this month... (((HUGS))) my dear...:angel: and pls do not apologize 'cos you're not being negative or anything... if you cannot vent here, then where can you?????

I am also sorry that you had to hear so much new-baby news just at this time... we all know how terribly hard that can be no matter how much you like the person... so pls don't feel bad about it... I completely understand why you feel that way (and I think we have all gone through that)...

Please treat yourself to something today... just for the sake of it... I know it is so hard to face AF esp. when all the signs were there... and we're here for you (((HUGS)))... promise me you'll have a large slice of chocolate cake today, ok?... and with a lovely cup of tea.... tomorrow you will feel better... I promise :angel: thinking of you my dear...
Love,
H

Princess, I'm so sorry! I was convinced you had a BFP on your hands. I wish I could take even one of those triplets and give them to you. Things are so unfair sometimes.

I'm glad you're able to see the positive in that AF showed up right on time. I hope you're doing okay today. Thinking of you! - April

Hazel-- believe me, I am going to take that advice and treat myself. I thin it's starting to hit me now. And on top of that, the whole thing with DH working during the important days this cycle, and he doesn't seem to care .... it just seems that this cycle is just starting off horribly. I know I'm supposed to turn it around somehow....but right now, I just feel sad. I just want to curl up and cry in a corner, but I can't because I know that will do more damage than good. :yawn: <--- that's a big sigh right now. I knwo it's supposed to be a yawn, but pretend it is a sigh, okay? lol.

April--- Believe me, it is so silly, I wish I could have had one (or even two! Or heck, all of them since we're wishful thinking!) of those triplets. I mean, how is it fair that she got blessed with THREE...when she didn't even want the first two that she had lost? And we did everyhting right this cycle....BD'd every other day, lay down for 30mins after each BD, ate right.. I odn't knwo what happened. It's just so unfair.

I hope you ladies are having a great day. I've decided I'm going to make this an amazing cycle---I'm going to exercise (moderately) eat right (today I have a lunch of chicken and rice) and just let it be. If this isn't the cycle, well then it's not....as long as AF comes on time we can start on a better cycle where DH will be around for O. Or maybe we won't need to at all. I'm feeling more positive....but that corner and a box of kleenex are still looking mighty tempting. :angel:

Oh Princess, I am so sorry that AF had to show her ugly face. I really reallly had every hope that this was the cycle. And I'm so sorry also about all of the baby news this weekend. It really is so unfair and I know that doesn't make it any easier.

I am sending you lots and lots of hugs, and I agree with Hazel -- treat yourself to something very special today. We are all here for you - don't ever ever apologize for venting -- that is what we are all here for.

Love you,
Kel

Oh Princess. My dear sweet friend. I am so sorry this cycle wasn't the one. I think we were all convinced otherwise. I wish I could give you a big hug. It's okay to be upset & feel a little negative - especially after all the baby news you got right after AF showed. I do hope you feel better soon though. One thing's for sure - your BFP is coming!!! Hang in there sweetie. Sending you cyber hugs.

Holly

Oh no Princess, this sad news has hit me particularly hard. :( I know it's got to be even harder on you but I really am upset! I don't wanna be alone without you in the 2WW. I thought this was the one for you... Like you said, you (and DH) did everything right this cycle! Princess my dear sweet friend I am so sorry. The good news tho is that you finally seem to have achieved a regular cycle... and I know what an obstacle that has been for you. Clomid is likely to work, it just takes time. I have a childhood friend who struggled with classic PCOS her whole life, the main prob of course being lack of a regular period. Well it took a while to get her regular but they finally did and then six months later the clomid finally helped her conceive and her baby is due in June! Please hang in there... You are gonna make a great mommy and you sure do deserve it more than these gals you mention who could seemingly care less about being pregnant. Huge (((hugs))) to you. Def treat yourself good today. Love to you. Kari

Sweetie I am so sorry that AF showed her ugly face. I am really convinced that this would be it for you:(. Let me just tell you about my clomid journey, Dh and I also did everything right from BDing every day to every other day and it still took us 4 cycles to concieve. Hang in there my friend your BFP is coming. Try and stay as positive as you can your next cycle will be starting soon :):). The others are right go out and spoill yourself.

Sending you tons of gentle ((((((HUGS)))))).
Thnking of you my friend

Love
Char

My sisters, I don't know how you do it. I feel refreshed and back and positve....but it's a new kind of positive. I feel calm about it.

Kelley-- Thank you so much darling. All of the baby news---- that's what made the BFN particularly stinging this time. I think that today I'm going to treat myself---not like my normal little treats, but somehitng like a bag of toffee popcorn and a movie. ((BIG HUGS)) I hope youre doing really well!!

Holly-- Oh my Holly, I feel better when I hear that being upset and negative is natural. I don't thin kDh really understand that---he kind of said that I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up so high. He said that he was hurting too----but I wanted him to show it. Because it didn't really seem at all liek he was hurting. And I know it sounds weird to want to see your man hurting, but honestly----I just wanted some reaction other than "Well this time wasn't our time" But I am feeling heaps better than I was this morning. Only room to go up, right?

Kari-- Oh my dear cycle sister, I was so sorry when AF came. Honestly, I was so sad that we woudlnt' be making the 'jump' together. But I'm here to celebrate when you get your BFP tomorrow and when you make that big leap. Kari, that sotry about your friend, that makes me feel SO GOOD. Not that she had problems, but that the Clomid worked for her. You're right, I need to hang in there----in the grand scheme of things, I'm only beginning my thrid cycle on Clomid, so I just need to be a bit more patient. And I really think that if I lost about 5 lbs, I could really help my body out. So other than my treat tonight of toffee popcorn (actually... I might make fudge! :D) I'm going to really eat healthy. And I am going to start walking home from work. I really feel like I could help my body out----I remember, when I was 16, I worked out regularly, and my period was right on track. Maybe I need to be a bit more healthy.

Char---- Darling, your story was so inspiring. It really puts perspective, that I just need to be a touch more patient. I mean, for all we know, even though he's taking me down (from 150mg to 100mg) third time could very well be the charm, right? I'm going to make fudge tonight, put my feet up and watch a movie. I have the house to myself (Dh is working opposite shift) and I will spoil myself. I have to admit, I'll be positive, but I'm not investing too much into this cycle, since DH will be workign a conflicting shift.....we'll be lucky if we get the chance to BD more than once. :) I'll take what I can get.

I feel kind of reflective. Not over the top positive....just that my BFP is coming....I just have to be patient. I also really want to try and get into shape a bit so that I can help my body along. They say that if overweight PCOS ppl lose even 5lbs, it can make a significant improvement in fertility. So I htink I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and actually try and be as healthy as I can, not just for the cycle, but in general as well. Wish me luck!

Thank you ladies so much for being here---I odn't know what I woul have done without you. :)

Princess, I am so very sorry to hear AF showed. I really thought this was it for you. I admire you for remaining positive that your BFP is coming, and your right, it is, and for whatever the reason this time wasn't your time, your time is coming soon I just know it. I am not sure how long it will be before you get to cycle again, but perhaps we can be sycle buddies....Huge hugs....Lisa

Lisa, thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words. Well fortunately, I guess, AF showed up right on time (for me) so we are going ahead with another Clomid cycle. My doc was worried that I may have over stimmed a bit on the 150mg (153 progesterone level!!) so he is putting me back down to 100mg. I started taking it only today, and I swear I'm already feeling the side effects. :dizzy: This is going to be a weird cycle, because I don't really knwo how to feel about this lower dosage. And also, during the imoprtant days, Dh won't really be aroudn to BD....we'll be lucky if we BD more than one time. Heck, we'll be lucky if we BD at all! :yawn: (pretend thats a sigh) So, I'm just remianing patient... BFP is coming, for all of us. :angel:

Oh Princess, I'm so relieved to hear that you've gained positive ground as the day has gone on. Even though I've seen your resiliance in action before, I was a little bit worried about you. But you are doing just what I admire most... looking forward and doing so with positive energy! That's why I love you girl! Hope you enjoy your evening (and your walk home if you decide to take it on this evening!).

Oh Princess I'm so sorry to hear about AF showing up. I was really hoping this would be the month for you. My heart is going out to you with a big (((HUG))). I'm glad that you're going to continue trying. Are you taking only clomid, no injections?

I'm sorry to hear about your DH's cousin getting pg. I know it's hard to hear of anyone getting pg (even if you're happy for them), and it doesn't matter if it's a loved one, when you yourself are trying. I will be honest, I get a little jealous when I hear of friends getting pg so easily. That's what we're here for. But I see it this way, when we DO get pg we will be the best mothers because of all that we had to endure to get our little miracles.

Princess, you're such a positive influence on me and I know that will pay off to benefit you with a BFP someday.

Oh my Princess, I am so sorry this cycle didnt work, and you were so close:(. This IF stinks. Take care my dear,
Mady

Oh Princess Im so sorry AF showed, I was so sure that you were going to get your BFP this cycle. I pray that this cycle is the one and I hope that we will be celebrating our BFP's together. Wishing you all the best.

Cashahn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Princess,

How are you feeling today? Emotionally & physically? I know AF takes a toll & I think you said the new round of clomid is messing w/ you too. I just wanted to remind you we are all here for you. And don't worry too much about this cycle...sometimes it is the ones we least expect that bring us our bfps. Remember Cristy who got pregnant w/ twins after only 1 BD session several days before O? :D That could be you this cycle. You just never know. I'm not saying you have to be super positive, but I did want to remind you that your miracle could happen at any time.

Sending you more hugs. I hope your week is getting better.

Holly

Hi Princess, just wanted to check in on you. Everyone is right, you are such a positive influence to us all, BFP will happen for you soon, I just know it. You deserve it, everyone does. Hang in there sweetie...big hugs to you.
Lisa

Hi Princess, I just wanted to echo everyone else, your BFP is close. We all know the frustration, but I can feel a baby coming for you soon! I hope you're doing okay today as you've been a bit quiet (which is understandable!). Thinking of you and hoping that Clomid isn't being to harsh this time around. - April

Princess I am so sorry. This IF thing really sucks. Please know I am sending you warmest hugs and thinking of you.

Ruby

Princess sweetheart, I hope that resiliance you felt and expressed yesterday continues. I'm pretty sure you don't always work on Wed's and that is hopefully why we haven't heard from you. I'm thinking of you my belle soeur. :angel: Hoping third time is the charm for you and the clomid (the first time I ever conceived, it was my 3rd round of clomid... it didn't work out in the end, but the important thing is... 3rd time did bring a BFP! Hoping the same for you good friend!). hugs and love!

Kari

Hi Princess,

I am still thinking of you my friend. Hope you are doing okay & hope to hear from you soon.

Holly

HI ladies!!! :D Oh my gosh, thank you so much for everything---your words really make me feel so good!! Rght now, I feel like a storm cloud. Dh and I got into a pretty bad argument over something REALLY stupid. We made up about a half hour later (it was my fault really, since he made a stupid joke, and instead of rolling my eyes I yelled at him) but I'm still angry. Not about that-----just...angry in general. I mean, I don't even knwo what I'm angry at. HOnestly, this 100mg hates me. The first time was 100mg and I was the same way. 150mg LOVED me. And here I am back at 100mg and seeing red at absolutely nothing.

You're right though. even though I'm not really feelign 100% about this cycle--I know there is always a chance. LOL, as Holly said, look at Cristy! And Dh managed to get three days next week that will be the easy shift for us to BD... so maybe we will get an easier chance. All it takes is one, right? :)

Again, thank you so much for the hugs and loves and advice! :D I appreciate it so much! All my love to you ladies!!

Princess, I am so glad Holly reminded you of Cristy's story... that is just one that I'll take to the grave! Sometimes it is the cycles with odds stacked against us the most that bring the huge BFP surprises!!! I feel your pain with the clomid. I was so surprised (happily) when last month you said the 150mg dose was treating you so good. I tell you, when I was on that drug I was someone else... and a very uncomfortable someone else!!! Your doctor must have a very good reason for adjusting the dose back to 100. Maybe it'll be good for your body to experience a slight change each month and it sure doesn't seem unreasonable that he wouldn't want to increase your dose. Afterall, you certainly do seem to be responding!!! You said you are on cycle day-5? So just a couple more days on the pills for you, is that right?

Hey, and if nothing I said above makes you feel better I think I got a good one for you.............tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!!! :D:D:D

Hahahaha, Kari, your words were perfect! And that last part made me laugh out loud!! Hahahaha! Tomorrow is Friday, and my mother will be flying in tomorrow afternoon to stay for a couple of weeks!
But you're right, hey, at least if I'm getting these evil side effects, it means I'm responding! And you knwo what, I think we were all surprised that 150mg left me unbothered-- I mean I was expecting to be a monster LOL! Well hopefully you're right and thrid time's the charm! You're right---my doctor is a really good man and knows what he's doing, he must have good reasons to change the protocol, right? :D And to answer your question, yes only two more days until I'm done those pills :D

Oh!!! And I did do somehting proactive yesterday. This very...how we say... i want to say like "elite". This elite clinic, they sell prenatals and they were telling my about them. It's 6 vitamins a day but they're all really good quality. So I bought them :o. I'm hoping that prenatals will be a help! And I'm trying to be healthier---tonight is chicken brugers (with veggies on it) and a side salad. :)

Love to you!!! xoxo

Princess, I'm so glad mentioning Friday made your day better!!! :) Good for you being proactive and going out and getting some prenatals! I had my own experience with that yesterday... As I was leaving the RE office my nurse stopped and asked me about what I was taking. I told her CVS generic (come on, I've been taking them for 3 yrs! Did you she really expect me to be buying the expensive kind for all that time!!!)... Anyway she fetched a couple boxes of the prescription brand prenatals for me. She said they have the perfect balance of everything I need... So clearly a good prenatal is important! And enjoy your healthy dinner tonite! Just a couple more days on that clomid and hopefully you'll be feeling all back to the normal easy going Princess we all know and love so much! Luv ya girlie!!

Kari, that's amazing you have prenatals that your nurse recommended!! Your babies (note I say BABIES!! :D:D:D) are going to grow so strong and happily inside of you. Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for you!! And you're right, just a couple more days and I'll be normal again! I honestly can't wait, I truly don't feel like myself, and I don't liek that. BUT---it'll all be worth it, right?? :D Staying strong!! Luv ya too sweetie!!!

Princess

I am so sorry about your bfn........i know it s not easy though your turn s coming up along very very soon. Try to think about the new cycle that has just begun.

Hugs

Amy

Good morning Amy!! How's our sweet nephew doing? I was feeling pretty down and negative yesterday and last night. I mean, not as bad as I was earlier on in the week but-- it has been a rough week. But please please nobody mistake that for I'm not totally happ for you ladies who have their BFP! Believe me, nothing gets me happier than when one of my own gets their dream come true!! :D:D
I was just having one of the Clomid plus arguement with DH moments where the world looks bleak and nothing can make happy again other than cupcakes and lots of 'em. But I've decided, I am going to get excited about this cycle. I dug out an unused notebook for college days and am using it as a journal, to write out and draw feelings, so my negative feelings have a place and aren't swarming inside of me and wrecking my cycle.
You know, I was actually to the point last night, that when DH came home we sat down and had a chat (we have midnight chats lol) and I said "I don't like what kind of person Clomid is making me. I feel like an emotional wreck and I don't know myself when I'm on this and that scares me a lot. I think that if for whatevre reason this cycle is like the others, maybe I should stop the Clomid." (And take the natural way for a few cycles, but I neglected to mention that)
His answer surprised me. He actually said that he'll try to be a lot more understanding, and give me my space when I seem to be under the Clomid rage lol. But he said that of course while the ultimate decision is up to me----he isn't quite ready to take a break yet.
I guess I'll have to see how this cycle turns up! I know I don't sound positive, but I'm just scared of getting my hopes up again. But you know, no pain no gain, it'll happen! :D

Good morning Princess! I'm so glad you and DH had a good talk last night. It certainly sounds like he's realizing that the best approach to Clomid is to understand that you're not yourself while you're taking it! It makes us all crazy, and while we still want DH's support, sometimes it's best to just stay away! I hope this arrangement works well for you guys! And best of all, after all it took you to get him to agree to Clomid, he's not ready to quit! That's great news. I just know that BFP is coming for you soon girl. Have a great Friday! - April

April hi darling!! :D exactly, that's why I was so surprised that he didn't want to quit, considering hwo I had to push and wheedle! LOL. Well at least he has drive right? And I guess that just goes to show me how much he does want this baby, even thoough he never shows it. Men! LOL. :jester: And hwo knows, right? The third time just might the charm.

I've been thinking about it a bit and I think I'm going to close this thread. It started off pretty negative and I don't want the negativity to follow through to this cycle. Hahahahaha, I probably sound really crazy, right? :jester: But Ithink a new thread for a new cycle is in order, so when I have something new to report, i'll start a new thread, I promise, so I will keep you updated ;) Until then, I'm probably going to be on the May/June thread. Thanks to everyone and ALL MY LOVE! XOXOXOXXO

Princess, it sounds like you & DH had a productive talk last night. :) Isn't it comforting to know that they want a baby as much as we do? Even if they don't always express it or act like it, they too are ready to start a family just like we are. And that family will be started before you know it. Praying so hard that your 3rd cycle is the charm. Have a great weekend my friend.

Holly

Holly, my sweet Holly, you are always so kind.
