Hoping for a much more peaceful night tonight but I guess we shall see! I also want a big ole high temp!

[melissamarie247]

Good Luck Manda!!

I am back from the hospital today. I didn't sleep much last night since German hospitals are really attentive. I had someone in there taking my blood pressure and temperature every 2 hours during the night and seeing if I needed anything. I had breakfast at 7:30 and could go home. The food was really good..

I am still really sore, though. I go get stitches out next week and hopefully back to normal by next weekend. Doctor said 3-4 weeks complete healing time. They had to blow gas into my stomach to see and make room so now it is starting to come out and it is a huge releif. lol... I know...

I really hope I get results from this. If anyone has questions about ovarian drilling now you can send them my way. I got the basic idea of how it is.. It can't be that much different here overall. The hospital was very different, though. They just operate different. I am also ok on just Motrin.. so that's a good sign.

S0 glad all went well and that you are home!!! Must be a relief to have it over and done with. Sending lots of good vibes for a quick recovery now

[melissamarie247]

[Sk8ermaiden]

[aubers68]

Glad to hear everything went well AND that you're doing good on just Motrin seems like a good sign for quick healing!! Can't wait to see your results, they will be exactly what you're hoping for, I can just feel it Praying for a quick recovery so you can get back to that baby making

[aubers68]

Amanda.... I'm waiting on a temp girlfriend!!! It's time to get up


Kellie, when will you start testing? Are you going to wait or start mid LP???

[Sk8ermaiden]

I really don't know! I tend to stay occupied and in a good mindset until I start testing and it is all downhill from there. I would LOVE to wait and see if I am late, but probably will start by 10 dpo. Who knows. I am usually good through the weekends and then Monday when I am alone again my resolve weakens. Monday is 8 dpo. Who knows. I am feeling really out this cycle - I don't know why.

[*Manda*]

I'm up! I temp at 6 but then go back to sleep. This AM I didnt get up til 10:30. I dunno what my deal was

My temp stayed about the same but another

[Sk8ermaiden]

Still crossing my fingers. That's nice and high!

[~* Natasha *~]

Kellie- Excited for your upcoming testing!

Manda- Your temps still look good and girlie it's still super eary in the grand scheme of things! FX that this is it! After all, your cycle has been beautiful so far!!

Melissa, so glad to hear your home and doing so well with pain management.

I'm very frustrated today with my low carb diet. I've been doing so well since Oct. and have lost 26lbs. For the past week however the thought of any veggies, meats, and most fruits has made me very nauseous. Today was the worst though. The thought of eating anything on my diet makes me sick almost the point of running to the bathroom. All I want is pasta and cupcakes. Or mashed potatoes. I did give in tonight and got a chocolate doughnut and now I feel guilty because I still haven't had dinner. Don't know what I'm going to do, but I don't want to blow my diet or make myself sick.

[MrsOrganization2011]

Oh I have those days/weeks ... they are so frustrating. It must have been something in the air yesterday around the world cause I didn't want ANYTHING that was in my diet either.

All I wanted was grease ... french fries, a burger, something I know I wasn't allowed to have. I ended up not eating most of my meals yesterday because I was so fussy and couldn't find ANYTHING that would satisfy my hunger in my mind which is really odd for me. I normally eat 5 times a day (3 meals and 2 snacks)

Its really tough when those moods hit us and more so when they make you physically sick but don't get upset with having just one doughnut its not the end of the world by any means. You do need a treat once in a while. 26lbs since Oct is AWESOME!!! You deserve a huge and

Just remember that tomorrow is another day and try again!!

If you need to talk when in those moods or maybe even need a new low carb recipe that might peek your interest and not make you feel like being sick let me know I'd be glad to help ... I know that dieting is a HUGE struggle and I am doing it to so we can do it together!!

[Sk8ermaiden]

I hear you. I'm not trying to lose weight right now (even though I should be), but I have been trying to cut way down on sugar and refined carbs to try to whip my cycle into shape and I was doing kind of OK until ovulation hit and then I just needed to EAT ALL THE THINGS. Especially the chocolate things. I do agree that it's just one donut and as long as it didn't derail you and send you off on a giant binge than you're doing really well.


AFM, my temp is lovely this morning, but I'm not sure if it's for real. I tossed and turned what felt like all night. It was not a restful sleep AT ALL. *sigh* I guess we'll just see tomorrow.

[MommaHarvey]

Thanks for the encourgement. I ended up not doing as bad as I was afraid I would. I had a can of Campbells Select Chicken with Egg Noodles soup for dinner. It does have 20 grams of carbs for the can but 14 are from protien and fiber. So to help with the sweet tooth I let myself have a small bowl of no sugar added icecream. Which is a splurge for me since I've cut out dairy except cheese because of the sugar in the lactose.

I wouldn't worry about blowing your diet around O time. I always eat worse when my hormones are surging. Around O and when AF visits. And my cycle is still getting alot better, and the weight is still comming off. Although I think I've hit a plateau.

[*Manda*]

I've been falling off my diet bandwagon way more than I'm on it lately it seems.

How do you get past the feeling like it's never going to happen for you? I feel like I'm not meant to be a mom and having custody of zach is all I get. It's so discouraging. 2 yrs, 4 months later and I'm still here.

[MrsOrganization2011]

I know I haven't been TTC for that long, but I do know that I have those days too. Most of my friends say "Oh just relax and it will happen, don't stress so much" or "if its meant to be its meant to be" well that's not always what you want to hear.

My husband and I waited to have sex till we were married because we were old fashioned and wanted to wait and not risk having children before we were really ready for them and now I'm almost 33 and terrified that was the wrong thing to do. I didn't really know it would be a problem to have children since every person I knew was having them without even wanting them. Even my sister with only one ovary was able to get pregnant with 2 gorgeous and healthy children.

Add to that being over weight both caused from and a cause of PCOS and some days I ever wonder if its all worth it. You girls are all amazing though ... and I see that some of you have had such amazing success stories ... I can't help but wish/hope/pray that I will get there sometime and Amanda I want you to know that you are definitely not alone in feeling like this!!!

[~* Natasha *~]

I have those days, too. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if Price and I are just meant to have each other. I know that sounds wierd, but I can't help but let my mind go there sometimes.

I want us to have a child together so badly... I know whatever God's plan is will happen. I guess I jsut get impatient sometimes....

[MommaHarvey]

I think I have officially fallen off the diet bandwagon also. That one doughnut ended up just being the start. I also ended up buying a few pieces of prepacked cake from the bakery section at the grocery store today. I think I'm just going to splurge for the rest of the day and get back on track tomorrow.

Trust me, I know how hard it is to try, and try month after month and not see results. It took 3yrs for my first pg only too loose it after 7wks, but after that I had my wonderful son. We thought all our problems would be over after DS was born. The OB told us that my hormones should level out and not have trouble the next time we tried. Yet here we are again. We've been NTNP since baby was born 13mo ago and started TTC 5mo ago.

Just be thankful you have all the ladies here to help you through the emotions. Last time around I didn't even know about these forums and DH and I had to do it all on our own. But it is well worth the time and effort.

[aubers68]

Ladies, please please please never give up!!! Of course dealing with infertility issues there will be rough days. Days of hopelessness and almost a feeling of failure... but we are so much better then that. We have too much to hope and strive for and should never give up!!! I have faith that it will happen for you ladies. Stay positive and strong like the women I know you are!!! I love you guys!!!!
