    @CML11 - I was super nervous about the trigger shot too but it was nothing. The needle (Ovidrel) was so narrow that I didn't even feel it. You can do it! 

    Thanks! That's good to know! Makes me feel slightly less nervous. I'm terrified of needles (which will have to be overcome with IF lol) So my RE said to wait till to use it until they say when. Do they wait till after the ultrasound (which is on Monday) do you remember?

    @TAT2MAMI thinking of you, good luck with your surgery! 

    ciara_test - i'm pretty sure robitussen is for thinning mucus out. it is supposed to help people with clomid when it dries up... i don't think mine is particularly thick (and i am not on any drugs) but i have friends who took robitussen for 5 days leading up to O and they got pregnant that month. who knows. i better start soon if i'm going to, counting down to O next friday or thereabouts.  

    BD this morning, will try it every other day instead of every day this month.  maybe day of OPK and day after...
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Sorry, we just got back from vacation this weekend so I wasn't here to update last Weds....

    1. Liz from North FLA
    2. 2 months 
    3. Right now just charting and paying attention to my body changes.
    4. Where are you in your cycle? I'm in the 2WW 
    5. I am so anxious about this cycle because there was a whole lot of BDing around my O days. However for as much BDing as there was, on my actual O day, we were travelling back from Cali (thanks to my late period last month for screwing everything up) so I'm hoping we didn't miss a narrow window.

    QOTW: 
    What is your idea of a perfect date night with your spouse/partner?
    We do this about 2-3 times a month. On our way home from work, we stop by our favorite local watering hole (Aardwolf Brewing Company) and have a pint or two while talking about our day. What I love about this is that we almost always start talking about dreams and plans and it keeps us connected to our goals. Sometimes we'll hit up one of the food trucks there. Otherwise we'll just go home and BD  ;)

    I havent checked in, in a while. Im on 3 boards. We need a board for those who are over 35 and have an infertility diagnosis or trouble trying to get pregnant and you have a child. I can't keep up it seems. I am no longer benched. I started a new cycle almost 2 weeks ago. I was in today and there are 2, possibly 3 follicles that will be mature enough for my IUI later on this week. A bunch of little ones that will not result to a hill of beans. RE lowered my dose of follistim, so I am now on 50iu instead of 75iu which has had a lower response than last time, but I don't have as many follicles maturing, which is a good thing. I am CD12 now, started meds 3 days late.......

    April/May 2014- Benched due to cysts/enlarged ovaries

    @mommalawyer yay for getting off the bench!! Woo hoo! Good luck to you :) Too many boards for me too plus 2 fb groups. Seriously I need a tablet sometimes to help me remember the details haha.

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN  DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!

    @radiantly - I've got IF brain and what I can post on one board, I can't on the other. Some need a warning or disclosure on the post/siggy/picture and dang it, half the time I can't remember what flipping board I'm on! I frequent this one less, for unknown reasons, but still like to check things out. Lots don't understand the 35+ and trying to get pregnant! (Especially over 35 and trying for another!)
