Sporty - I know you were teasing. I just had a rough day with my teen :/ Tiff - Sorry about the BFN. You sound pretty convinced AF is on her way. I don't know how you can not let it get to you at times. This process is very frustrating. Have you scoped at all? Dr. R told us it could take 3 months just for the sperm to return and I know that was the case for us since I scoped regularly I remember thinking that there just weren't enough sperm there and then we just kept seeing more and more as time went on. It's so difficult to be patient in all of this, especially for those of us who are AMA. I'm sure it is especially tough for you since this is your opportunity to be a mommy for the first time. I'm praying for you. I texted DH about the smiley face earlier today and told him to drink lots of water since the marathon begins when he gets home tonight He just texted me back to say he's in Philly now because he caught an earlier flight. It amazes me how committed this man is to having another baby, lol!

Shel - that is awesome! What a great man:-) Smiley faces are soooo good!
The AMA title definately makes things difficult on the timing issue. I've had anot of disappointments in my life that had made me a strong woman, so I figured if I stay strong, I won't fall apart. I had a hard day today and let myself cry, so I'm good for now. Besides being a stepmom, this has got to be the hardest thing to deal with month after month. I applaud you ladies that have been doing this longer than 6 months to over a year.
My TB is here:-)))))

Tiff, Sorry about the BFN. Sucks! I have a feeling I will be right there with you next month. I dont even want to test right now. I may wait until Friday. BTW I LOVE taco bell!
I just stuffed myself with homemade burritos tonight. I am SO GROSSED out with myself right now. I just kept eating and eating. YUCK! I eat like a pig the week before I start. OH JOY!

Tiff, sorry for the bfn. I remember how disappointing that was when I was trying to get pg the first time. My whole mood hinged on what one peed on plastic stick said. Sucks. That's the one thing I keep telling myself and my dh before we even have the vr: I will not turn into a crazy person, I will not turn into a crazy person! I know that's easy to say now, but will probably be really different once we're actually fertile! I can't wait, though!!! Hurry up, IRS!!! We still haven't picked a dr . . . I'm thinking Dr. Roeder, though. I almost added Dr. Finnerty to the list, but my dh is getting overwhelmed by all the dr's links I'm sending him!

Good luck Shel! Happy faces mean happy men! :-)

Cyn- sounds like eenie meenie moe might be in order! LOL.
Mandy- I'm sure I'll feel pretty gross after I eat a pint for Tiff! :-)

Cyn- we will all tell you our dr was the best, but you will have to choose for yourself (Dr. Hickman is the BEST) Sportykids- I could go for a pint of ice cream, but my scale says no way (oh great now I am craving Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby, which I have not been able to find in a long time) AFM~ grr frustrated with dr.'s and now scared to death about the EPS/ablation. They say that I will be under conscious sedation and strapped down to the table for 5 hrs while they do a cut down and thread catheter's through my groin Gonna go register our car and get licenses today, DH has an interview today and then dentist this afternoon.

BFN for me this morning. Blah! Even though I didnt think I was, I tested anyway. I am not feeling pg at all. On to next month! I am not due to start until about the 10th. So I have the fun of waiting for about a week. Blah again! Bring on the gallon of ice cream!
BTW what happened to the BFP post? I think her name was Amanda. I went back to read how many dpo she was when she tested and I couldnt find it.

Mandy - I'm sooo sorry Mandy. AF isn't here, so don't count yourself out! I need to DTD to get AF started. I'm only spotting this am.
I'm sorry to report that Amanda miscarried. I think Jenn took it off so that it wouldn't upset her:-( She is in good spirits tho and will be starting TTC again.

I hope she comes back here:-) I miss her posts.
A pint of Ice Cream sounds good! We make our own, so what shall I put in it tonight? Hummmm, Heath Bar or Peanut Butter Cups???
Mandy - it looks like we will be cycle, "O" and POAS buddies again. We are going to DTD EOD this time, but not sure when to start. CD1 or 2 is the question. Leslie?

Heath bar! And add marshmallows and drizzle chocolate on top! What time do you want me over? :-)
Weigh in is tomorrow, so in order not to be depressed the entire weekend, I'm going to wait til tomorrow night to endulge!
So I spotted today, which means AF is coming. I don't chart or do anything extra, so by the time next week comes around and DH is allowed to DTD we should be all set. Should be a very active month! hehehe
Tiff and Mandy, So I guess that means we are all on the same cycle!

Tiff, are you referring to the sperm meets egg plan? If so the recommended BDing schedule is start on CD8, DTD EOD until you get a + OPK, then you DTD for 3 days in a row, skip one day, then BD one more time. Any other time of the month is free-for-all.

Oh, and Mandy, I'm so sorry about the BFN. And Tiff, are you in contact with Amanda? If so, please pass along my condolences. I'm so sorry to hear that she miscarried.
