Hi girls : ) ISA - Yes ... will definitely keep all of you posted every step of the way. I think your temp pretty good this cycle ... it's usually 97. something for me too when ov. Has you temps gone up a little today? Certainly a good idea carrying on with the bd'ing ... like you said who knows cos it's hard to figure out those opk sometimes (I always have a hard time if don't use the digital ones). Ok ... you're in the 2ww with COL too. According to my physician .... don't stress, don't carry heavy stuff and don't do anything that's strenous during the 2ww (basically behave as if you're pg), yahhhh! Oh! I almost forgot ... don't drink very cold icy drinks, cool is fine : ) No alcohal ... red wine is fine(just 2-3 glasses) cos it's helps to pump the blood. VAL - How are doing? My updates, well ... nothing much is happening except the nausea is starting to kick in and my energy level has gotten lower (feeling sleepy in the afternoon) that's about all. Ladies ... What do you think .... lets move over to the Pregnant over35 board to the new thread (TTC = HCG = BFP (ASAP!) = HAPPY ME!!!) ... Hopeful just got her Bfp on Sunday morning. I think ... it's a LUCKY THREAD for everyone, lots of positive vibes and baby dust going on over there : ) : ) : ) Baby dust to all of you : )

Hello ladies, Sann, i will be posting in that thread. hope you are doing well. how is my pregnant freind doing? i am really so excited to you. i wish you and you husband the best, and ja cant wait to know tha name of your baby :) are you planning on knowing the sex of the new commer? ISA, sorry i did not get to you sooner, i was busy fighting with my husband over the weekend, i think i am losing it. i spent the whole weekend in a vey bad mood. anyway , My ND phone is ( 905) 337-7047. her name is Jane. good luck. Val, where are you ? what is new with you? . My updates, 5dpo. the same symptoms i get every cycle, so nothing to look forwared for. TTYL

thanx Col .hope you work things out. Hormones are raging on fertility meds and ttc so try and not be too hard on yourself. Sann, my temps are up slightly and FF says I O'd on Friday. We bd'd Wed and Fri nights so we should be covered. FF is sometimes wrong with mine (verified by u/s, b/w on iui cycles and it was wrong 3x's) so I take it with a grain of salt. I figure I o'd between wed and friday so we're ok. 2 ww, normally a 26 day cycle.

Col what symptoms do you get already at 5dpo?

Hi ISA, it seems we are on the same boat, I read in another post that you are 3dpo, I am 6dpo today. The symptoms I am talking about, I get cramps, those I never got before I started TTC, and sometimes I get tender breasts, not this time though. The main symptom is the crams. Usually I get those just before AF. You know what ISA, I don’t think I will ever be able to get pregnant, it’s not about being negative or positive, it’s just a feeling. Good luck with your IVF. Let me know if I can help in anyway. After all we live in the same area. : ) : ) TTYL

VAL, where are ? i am so warried about you. please show up. Sann, i am sure you read this, but you do not have the energy to post : ) : ) , God bless you all.

hi all... sorry I've been missing! Everything is fine - yesterday morning I had to leave early to get a ride with dh to the gym, and then last night we ran around after our sheep for 2 hours. (The butcher had come and the sheep decided to jump their fences.) I have to go out now and help with moving them to a new location, so I don't have much time to read/write now. Sann, I will check out that other thread when I get a minute.... hugs to all :-) (oh and I'm on cd6, so there really is not much going on re: ttc right now!)

Col, i too notice cramps more since TTC. When I was on fertility meds I would cramp from ovulation til next af (daily -what a pain). now on no meds but I still feel the odd twinges on the ovaries or maybe I'm just more in tuned to it. My only symptoms now I seem to get is very oily skin the week before af. The odd time cramps the day before she starts. Try not to think you wont get pregnant. I know easier said than done. Until you are actually told you cannot for medical reasons you should be able to, we just need to find out what the problem is. I listened to a tape Randine Lewis gave (someone had it posted on a thread awhile back) and she said there is alwasy a way to get people pg unless there is medical evidence showing otherwise. If you have troubles with ovulation there are ways to make it happen. There are ways to get more energy to the uterous with things like accupuncture and acupressure treatments for fertility and what I think is huge is make sure your body is not acidicky (like mine is) as the body is supposed to be alkaline to be healthy. My acidicky body kills dh's sperm so I am trying to eat a better alkaline type diet (just googled it and got info that way) and trying to get in a healthier lifestyle, no more sprays in the house (which apparently can hurt dh's sperms, and our health in general etc etc ) and trying to keep things as pure form as when grandma was a cookin!! We are trying to cook from scratch to eliminate alot of additives which are harmful (and colourants too)I think all our pre packaged sodium laced foods are hurting us, too much meat (and I"m a lover of meat) and hater of most veggies but I"m getting better, I think we've killed our ourselves with our 'go go go' lifestyles so I am trying to be a better healthier individual (and still eat some chocolate -grin ) I am not a coffee, tea or pop drinker which is good but I have so far still to go in eating better and living healthier.
