QOTW:  Who else has spring fever?  What are your warm weather plans this year?

Don't forget to add your updates.  Where are you in your cycle? Any new news, testing, or treatments?  Wishing everyone luck and a BFP very soon!

I suspect that the new info I put in after the last check in did not save.  If I need to add you or correct anything, please let me know.

CharBart

Warm weather plans: hhmmm...no plans yet, just waiting to start this IVF.  Hopefully plans for summer will be getting ready for baby!

Update: waiting for AF to start BCP's....start lupron on 4/3...stims on 4/17

Also...you can update my age to 40

MAH123

QOTW: My SIL just moved back to the US and is in tampa, so we are planning a week long vacation to visit her and do some of the Fl stuff with DD who will then be 4yo (we scratched Sea World off the list after the incident this week). DH and I are debating a vacation by ourselves too (the keys maybe)......depends on IVF stuff.

Update: Spotting since Saturday (expect full blown AF this evening) and hpt neg so far (NO TUBAL! Hip-Hip-Horray!), so I will start bcps cd3. This is it for us and we're in a good place with that decision. 

Good luck to all of the ladies testing this week! 

Haribo1

I have spring fever!  GA weather is such a tease...fluctuates any where from the 30's to the 60's.  We have started looking into a June beach trip to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary

 I am CD17, waiting to O, first time charting.  It's only my 2nd month off of OCPs, so we will see if I actually O this month.

Joe'sSweetPea

JoesSweetPea, 39, San Francisco, TTC since 8/2009

 

I am somewhat spoiled by milder weather here in San Francisco, but I am looking forward to shedding the layers and walking around in capri pants and flip flops.  Regular pedicures on my toes that stick out from my cute sandals, sitting outside reading a book or crocheting, or drinking a glass of wine in a cafe (hopefully not this spring!)

 

Update: I have my HSG scheduled for Monday am. 

Jilliesmomma

Update: I am on cd#10 - no meds, just Fempro, EPO and a baby aspirin (as per dr). Also, DH is taking Fertilaid for Men and we have been drinking green tea each night.

 I am in the 4WW lol.  We are in escrow and hope to close on 3/31.  This is will be our Spring Fling.  

BTW, my info has been updated to the list.  

jandjay

Spring fever has definitely hit. DH and I were looking at counter height bistro sets for your back patio today. I was planning how we'll plant some oblong containers for along the side yard and thinking about and outdoor rug.

Update: CD 28. FF says testing is 6 days away. I think NOT. My cycle is usually between 30 and 32 days so I will keep my fingers, and my legs, crossed a maximum of 4 days!  This is my first cycle after a m/c on 1/19 so no AF yet (who needs the had anyway, right?) but I did ovulate just like clockwork with a positive OPK on CD18 and a temp shift on CD20. I'm mentally ready for a BFN if it comes but I'm positive and upbeat knowing that a BFP is possible.

Good luck to everyone.

karenannmark

5 dpo.......the dreaded 2ww, dont think i have much of a chance this month but anyway, did try the pineapple core myth, though i missed one day, looking forward to the weekend already! Have a great day all and praying some bfps come our way!

Kristiep1971

Please add me to the sucess stories. EDD  is 10/16/10.

I have spring fever big time. I can't wait to see the flowers start to bud.

DH and I will be going to Cancun in May for a friends wedding but other then that we have no other plans for the summer yet.

joyfulnature

QOTW: I think I'm beyond spring fever and into spring mania! We haven't made plans yet, other than expanding the size of the vegetable garden. That is enough for me right now! Thaw, dang it, thaw!

 

Updates: I am at ovulation. We've done our part, so fingers crossed!  AF is not invited, but if she shows up later this month, we'll have an IUI.

heathercara

Warm weather plans...I can't wait to get a mani pedi this coming Friday in hopes of inspiring warmth and open toe shoes, I live in FL for God's sake!!

AF showed her ugly face on Friday.  Tried starting OV Watch for this cycle and could not get it to read me.  So hoping it's just a bad sensor (although it means I'll be too late for this cycle) and not a bad person using it...tee hee.

cyn-d

QOTW: I agree with the Spring Mania! I know you all on the East Coast have had a crazy winter too, but here in the midwest, I don't know when the last time was that we had this MUCH snow!! I'm done! I love snow, it's beautiful, but c'mon...we'd really like to get some sod laid down(new house--moved in last month--ground has been snow covered ever since)

 

Cycle update: My ticker today says "you're ovulating"...we BD'd Saturday, plan on tonight, then again tomorrow or Wednesday, just to be sure...

 

ToshaGirl

In many ways I find it odd to even type this....

Please add me to the success stories. EDD 10/06/10.

 

lisa&laird

HEY?  Can I be added to the list of "belonging to this board"?  Put me under......OLD and trying, trying, trying before my last egg turns into a dust bunny?!  Thank-you!

Lisa

OscarQ

Update - IUI# 1 with Follistim (100mg) and trigger = BFP on 2/26.  Second Beta today (First was 172, Progesterone 60).  Fingers crossed!  EDD 11/7/10

Spring fever - heck yeah - I'm so sick of this snow.  Warm weather plans - probably visiting my sister in Spain - hopefully getting to attend her wedding since hopefully I'll be too far along to visit when her baby arrives in early October.

DMD1029

QOTD: I DEFINITELY have spring fever...but really want it to just be summer already.  I need it to be over 80.  We're probably still MONTHS away from that happening!  There's still snow on the ground and I've heard that the Mid Atlantic can expect another snow storm in March!  Good grief enough already!  I'm going out to LA for work next week, so that will help me get my fix. 

UPDATE: I got a BFP, but am not mentally ready to be added to the success stories yet.  After 2 freakishly high betas, I'm nervously waiting for my 1st u/s on Thursday when I'll be 5wk6d. 

GymDogFran

Update:  I'm having surgery to remove a fibroid on Wednesday.  Then we'll try to schedule the thaw from the donor egg bank again.  Hopefully, we'll be back on track with a mid-March transfer date in the next week or so!

QOTW:  Yes!  It has been tempting to try and lie out by the pool because the sun has been out, but it is still way to cool!

redsoxbono

QOTD: I definitely have spring fever!  I CANNOT wait for our first Red Sox game (we get a package of ten games) in April.  Sometimes it's so cold that we go wearing our ski gear, but it still gets me excited for summer! 

I am on day 20.  AF has been showing up around day 25 (usually at least spotting by then).  If she shows then I am set up for day 3 bloodwork, the Clomid challenge, an HSG, an SA for DH and an appoinment with a high risk OB-GYN to discuss options with my cervix.  I know it's unrealistic, but I'm hoping for a miracle this cycle!

lizette0626

QOTW: I'm looking forward to our Spring break cruise. DH and I are going on an 8 day cruise to the carribean on 3/27. I can't wait!!

 

Update: I'm on CD6 of our third cycle TTC naturally. (no meds) We have an appointment with our RE on Thursday 3/4. He wanted us to come in if we didn't get a BFP last cycle to discuss what the next step will be. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I started charting this cycle hoping it will help.

nursesrh

Could I be added to this board

nursesrh, 38, NC, TTC since 12/09

 QOTW: I am so ready for spring! Warm weather plans include a week in Charleston to celebrate our anniversary!

Update: Waiting until AF is late before I test. A few IPS but I am really trying to ignore them and go with the flow:)

mscandyman

After a very traumatic ectopic surgery, I received my first period.  Hopefully this means my cycles will continue to be normal.  Only time will tell.  Regardless, we are probably going to hold off on trying again for a while.  I want to be sure we are 110% ready, physically and emotionally. 

But I do have Spring Fever.  This weekend we cleaned up our bikes in prep for taking them out to dinner, the boardwalk, out with friends, where ever!  Can't wait to park the car on Friday and not move it again 'til Monday morning!

kbrodie06

QOTW:  Who else has spring fever? Me, me, me, I have spring fever, it was 70 yesterday!!! love it.

 What are your warm weather plans this year?  Enjoy the outdoors!

Don't forget to add your updates.  Where are you in your cycle? Any new news, testing, or treatments?

Cycle day 2 and get to start using CBEFM now, yay!!! Hope this works! (then sticks)

Kristin

rach2100

Need to be added:

rach2100; NC; 38; TTC since 09/2007  (UGH!)

I always feel like I have spring fever...no matter where I'm living.  I just love the warmer weather!!  Warm weather plans:  we have a trip coming up to Aruba...this is where we honeymooned 3 yrs ago...and couldn't wait to go back.  My nephew will graduate from High School this year (sigh!)...cannot believe how fast time has gone by.

Update: just sitting here waiting for AF....she's 5 days late....and for peace of mind I tested and got a BFN...so, I wait some more.

mjencook

Hello!

Please add me to the list!

mjencook - 39, IL, TTC since 01/10.

QOTW: Seems like here in Chicago our spring is when everyone else is in summer...but we might hit 50 this weekend! I am looking forward to building a raised veggie garden in our side yard and eating the rewards!

Just got AF yesterday (boo) and have started to track temps etc on Fertility Friend. So just waiting for the time next week to check for the OPK+ and go from there. In the short time on this board, I have learned a lot and hope to be able to get to know you all.

 GL to everyone TTC!

MRSDNA

Hello! I can't believe I'm saying this but I am now 39

We are waiting to "O" any day now and feel like this is our last shot on our own before we start down either the IVF route or the IUI route.  No pressure here!  Boy, that puts me in the mood just reading this Hahaha!

QOTW:  I have spring fever big time, it's been so cold for so long down here in "sunny" Florida that I'm just OVER IT big time!  We're looking into a trip to the Keys, but that won't be until June.  We're attending my BIL's wedding in Miami so we're thinking that we'll just head on down to the keys for a week.  I can't wait!

bcn68

Spring Fever:  Going to Maui the end of May!

Waiting to O.  My last cycle got messed up after taking progesterone....not happy about that.

Please update my age to....gulp.....41
