Are you taking a break for this month? I have not seen you in these couples of days. I remember you said that you called your RE after you got AF, what did he say? any new plan for you?
I am in Clomid/IUI #2 right now, this time my RE asked me to take clomid CD3-CD7, so, I am done with the pill today. I will have a folicle check next Tuesday (27), probably a HCG shot too.
I am really hope we can do this cycle together again! Any way, you will always be in my prayers.

I am so happy for Sunny! God bless Lisa get the big fat positive too.

Hi neighbor! I live in the bay Area too. Are you seeing a local RE? Mine is in the city. . .Good luck with that follie check!!!

Hi, MaryAnn
Thank you for the good luck. You live in San Mateo? That's great, we are neighbors! I used to live in Foster city, and then we moved to Santa Clara.
Yes, I am seeing a local RE, I once been treated by Stanford REI clinic, but I did not feel comfortable with them, so I changed to a new RE in Kaiser (since IUI is insur. covered). How about you? which clinic are you seeing? IUI or IVF?..... Good luck to you too.

Lynn,
I couldn't help but hop on the bandwagon to find out How Mindoo is doing?
Mindoo, I was just thinking about you today too. I've been in a bad funk all week and haven't been posting, but that's another story. Someone brought doughnuts into work today, it was a fumigation weekend, and consequently everyone was running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Not me though. I got left behind with the box of doughnuts. They were the big fat glazed yeast ones. Yum. I lost count as to how many I ate, I think 5. Binging a bit, yes. But like I said, I've been in a funk, trying not to be depressed, so I think I deserve it. What it is that is so stinky appealing about deep friend bread coated in that sticky sweet sugary glaze? I love it.
I was telling dh I had doughnuts for lunch, and that I wasn't really sure how many I had, I'd finished off the box. He noted that one of the big signs of an alcoholic is loosing track of how much they have drunk. So, does that mean if I lost track of how many doughnuts I ate, that I am a doughnut-aholic?
I was comforted by knowing you are out there, and that I am not alone in my doughnut-aholic-ness.

lol Cathy - I snuck in a donut this week too. However, I'm very grateful that I didn't gain weight after last weeks binge.

Lynn, Thanks for asking about me. I'm taking a month off from drugs/IUI, however dh and I will try naturally every other night starting about night 12 until.... No ODK testing either. He does much better when there is nothing "timed" about our bd. He likes the idea for every other night min because then he feels like he's getting the national average. Men! Who knows what motivates them.

DH is also going to have a gastric by-pass surgery within the next couple of months. If we can get one more attempt in before his surgery then we will, otherwise further attempts with dr. help will probably be put in hold for three months or so.

I've been trying to cut back the time I spend on this board because I'm obsessing and all this ttc is consuming everything from me. I'm trying to get my life back in order. There is a lot of good parts about my life and I can't neglect them. But somewhere along the line I did and ttc took over everything. It didn't start out this way and I really don't know when it happened. It just did.

So I will get on a few times a week to check for BFPs. I feel deep in my heart that there will be a bunch soon, and I will keep praying for BFP's for everyone. But I'm going to try to put tremendous energy in getting other things done in my life this month. I guess I'm trying to test that old "Relax" theory. lol

Good Luck and Baby dust to all,
Mindy
