WHERE IS EVERYONE? This board has been so quiet lately......... ???

I think that this message board is great. I've gone back the the first OVULEX and have been reading all of your messages. You sound like a great group of people. I tried for about 3 years and I went for IVF it worked and I have a beautiful daughter. I was told that my eggs are to hard for my husbands sperm to penetrate. They did ICSI. I decided to try again and was shocked when last month they told me that I wasn't preg. They put in 3 eggs that were better than the 3 that they put in the first time. So now I am trying Ovulex. I am hoping that it works. It made me feel good knowing that there are women that conceived from ovulex. I've been waiting to here from Les23 I've been hoping and praying for her I hope she is ok.

Where did everyone go did you move to a different message board? ???

Nancy, that is what I want to know.......I guess that everyone is just busy :-\.

WHERE IS EVERYONE????????????

I'm here Monica. I've just been extremely depressed. In a way over the end of the pregnancy but also because everyone thinks (and they may be right) that three kids would be too much to handle, financially and every other way. I was trying to imagine how I would handle doing 3 sets of homework. My son is 19 months old. At his age, my daughter knew her body parts and Zack was teaching her to recognize shapes. I wonder if the reason my little guy is not walking or talking is because, as my mother says, we don't have enough time for him. I enrolled my daughter in school so that he could have some time to himself but I'm not there the sitter is there. I do make sure to read him a story at night and say his prayers but I wonder if I will have the time to teach him to read the way I taught Tova. I also need to start teaching her simple addition and I haven't done it yet. I saw my MD. He feels I am depressed and I should treat the depression. He feels I could try again on Zoloft if I wanted to. Anyone have any info about that? We took the baby to a neurologist. He was very cute and smiled and crawled around for the doctors. Still, all they did was scratch their heads. They don't know why he's not talking or walking. Sorry TMI just starting to feel like a hamster on a treadmill. I come home from work, start over with the kids and by the time they're in bed I'm wiped out and so is Zack. We read separately if we have the energy and then we just collapse. Also, we've had alot of family weddings. Zack went but I couldn't go because I'm in mourning for my dad. So not only couldn't I go but that day I had both kids all day in addition to whatever else I had to do and by the end of the day I was wiped out. I felt like not only am I in mourning but I'm being punished for that. My father would never have left my mother to go to a wedding if she were in mourning. It wasn't close family. Sorry guys I guess it is the depression. I'll come out of it I'm sure. I also want to know what happened to Les23

I wish that there was something to say that will make everything better for you. I know that you situation is a little different but I also miscarried. I remember that it took me and dh 2 yrs to get pregnant and when I finally did I was so excited. At about 8 weeks I miscarried and I thought it was the end of the world. The only thing that is going to make you feel better is time. As for what other people think you and your husband have to do what is right for you guys. Everything else will fall into place on what ever you both decide.

Jackie, it was good to hear from you. So much better to reach out than crawling in your shell. I know sometimes it's necessary but you know that we are always there to listen with an understand ear. You have a lot on your plate right now, and you should be good to yourself. You are the priority, because if you don't feel good, you can't take care of your kids the way you would like to do. If I may say, since you are the one doing the treatments and having to deal with really painful issues,(m/c and mourning your father), would it be possible for you to take a break from all the hours you are working? What if DH took on more to give you a break. You know, however overwhelm we can get sometimes, there is always a solution. Any family members who could take your kids once in a while, so you can do something that would make you feel good?
Also, get a second opinion for your son.

Hang in there. I know it's a lot right now, but it will get better. Sending lots of good energy.

hello everyone!! being the end of the month it was really busy here at work. and i have had all sorts of car problems.

well update about me. i called my doctor and told her what the problem was. i had taked 2 hpt with bfn and she set up for me to come in and get a blood test and then was going to put me on something to jump start me if it was bfn.

well then the next day my lower back was kind of hurting like i was going to start and i was like i will give it a few more days so i do not have to pay for a doctors visit and meds.

well yesterday af arrived. i am happy that it is finally here. i am going to have to change my ticker. i thought it would be a bad period since it has been so long but it is really quite pain free with lighter bleeding that i thought it would be.

so that is where i am and i want to thank everyone for the prayers and concern. i am lucky to have you all.

it was a wonderful day yesterday. it was 70 degrees. and i was off work!! so i got to enjoy it. today is on like 40 out but it is still warmer than below zero which is not uncommon here.

Jackie; My heart truly goes out to you. You sound really down & dismal, and I will pray that the Lord will lift that spirit of heaviness off of you. I can certainly relate to you feeling like you are wiped out all of the time; because I was just telling Joseph (my husband) on last night, that I felt like it was NOT enough hours in the day to get everything done. I too work full-time, so by the time that I get home in the evenings....it is already about 6:15pm, and I only have a little over 2 hours to get everything done. Ex: Shower, cook dinner, etc.. It gets a little frustrating & it is a source of some of my irritation; HOWEVER I am really trying to keep a good attitude about it & not complain until things change.

You mentioned that you were still in mourning for your dad.....I am so sorry about that, and I KNOW that it has added more stress to your life. Jackie, you need to take a vacation in order to re-group, and to REALLY think things through. Can you take time off of work? It seems that you really need to take care of yourself first before you fall apart. You need to figure out what it is that you really want, and then take the necessary steps to accomplish those things. Is there any way that your husband can help you out a little more than usual with the house chores, etc.? That way you can "attempt" to re-organize your life & then figure out some ways to do things a little differently. That is what I am in the process of doing right now as well. My husband & I just bought a new home, but because we seem to always be so busy......I really haven't had the chance to enjoy it yet, and THAT has got to change; so the exact same advice that I am giving to you, is the same advice that I am using for my situation.

Let me know what you think.......

Wow Fiso; Apparently we were posting our messages to Jackie at the same time.....and it appears that we had the same advice for her in regards to her taking time off of work & getting additional help from her husband & family members. That is interesting...........
Jackie is that possible?

Les23, I am glad that your AF finally showed up. I know that you are somewhat relieved.
You mentioned that your bleeding was lighter than normal, and with less cramping...........
Question: Have you taken your temperature lately? Is it still elevated, or has it gone back down to normal?

There really is a reason that I am asking you all of these questions. I am not trying to be nosy or anything, but I am just trying to figure something out........

LES23 I AM SORRY TO HEAR THAT AF CAME BUT GLAD THAT YOU ARE OK

so ive been on ovulex for three weeks...i was supposed to get my period yesterday...i thought ovulex was supposed to regulate everything and make your period on time...i took two hpts yesterday and they were both negative and also one today...is it still too early for hcg to be detected in urine or? ive been ttc for 6 months...i found out two days ago i had a very small ovarian cyst on the left ovary...doctor said that didnt interfere with conceiving, im wondering if thats true or not...but any insight please share with me...i feel so depressed i havent been blessed yet...hopefully this ovulex works...

Does any one know how many people who were on ovulex that did get pregnant?

There has been I think 6 people on this site that has gotten pregnant. My sister in law conceived while on Ovulex.

M- the bleeding is just like a normal period. I just figured it would be worse because of how late I am. I have not charted my temp sorry. I usually do not get cramps but my lower back will ache and it is doing that but still not as severe as I thought it would be. The one thing that I notice that is odd is that my boobs do not hurt at all. That is usually one of my first clues that AF is coming. But they do not hurt at all.

Oh yeah I wanted to tell you all.... My friend is getting induced tonight at midnight. So we will have a new baby boy here tomorrow sometime. I am super excited about it. They have one little girl already and she will be 2 in April. She is a cute little thing.
