Calling all OLD CLOMID CYCLER GALS...

Alynn · #1 (**permalink**) 09-13-2006, 01:37 PM

Girls,
It seems we are all so scattered around, and I can't keep up with what anyone is doing! Not to mention that some of the old gang is simply MIA (Penny, Sharon, Jennifer, etc). I'd love to hear what everyone is doing! I'm now hosting the 30-something-parents board (under Toddler-to-Teen) and I'd love to have you all over there! Kate, Meghan and I are over there, not to mention a ton of the old 30-something crew. It's a great board and it would be a nice stationary place since there are new Mommies, expecting Mommies, BTDT Mommies......so drop on over an intro yourself!

I'm still here...kinda. With going back to work and renovating a house...I am swamped. I try to hop on and check on your guys whenever I can.

I can't believe Kendall is walking!!! WTG sweetie! They grow up so fast. How is your pregnancy going?

Where is everyone else?

Whitney!
I heard that you might have been hanging out with Miss Kate? Humm? We want pics and details! What sort of trouble did you two get into?

Stop over to the 30-something and post an intro if you get a chance. Seems like all the "old clomid gals" are so scattered....I miss everyone!

I'm here lurking of course but I come on here to check on everyone. I see updates from time to time but you are right everyone is scattered. I think between new boards and private boards and just life in general.

I will go check out the board you host. Sounds like a place I might like. I just made the trip from TTC 20 something to TTC 30 something after my big b-day. Plus I just couldn't chat with some of those younger mommy wannabes. It was too depressing....21-22-23. <<<SIGH>>>

Anyway, we are TTC#2 and in the dreaded 2ww now. I wish I would get

or a

so I could know what the heck is going on!!!

Lindsay,
Evan is getting so big! And, he is so darn cute! Everyone is SO scattered. The 30-something parenting board has many girls TTC or newly expecting...it's a great place! I hope that AF stays away and you get your BFP soon! Post an intro over there when you get a chance!! Good to hear your update!

I would't be looked down on because I am 27 now would I? LOL!

GL Lyns!!

Whitney,
For you we'll make an exception!

And, I won't tell anyone!

Well, hello there!!!!!!

I was on clomid back in 2003 and 2004. We then moved on to injectables and IUIs as well as IVF. Remember me????

I need to look in on the 30something board, cuz that's what I am. Lynds and Whitney are young'ins!

Well, I'm back, anyway. TTC#2! Peyton is 7.5mos old, almost crawling and doesn't have any teeth yet. My siggy is totally out dated, so you can't go by that pic! I need to get some on here! I've been lazy!

Went to the RE office today for my BW. They called me in the afternoon and told me that we'd start the Gonal F and everything soon! What have I gotten myself into? HA! Yeah, I want to TTC a sib, but, at the same time, I'm scared to death! Coping with two kids under 1.5yrs apart is scary. Plus, what if it's more than one (when/if it works)? Sheesh! But, we're gonna go for it! So, I was expecting them to put me on Estrogen and Progesterone to induce a flo and then we'd talk about the stims and triggers. Well, lo and behold, Freedom Drug already called tonight! I about choked on my water when they said who they were. Hearing the meds (sans the Estrogen and Progesterone) just made all the memories and fears flood my mind. So, I'm coping with my jitters along with pure excitement! The RE office, Freedom Drug and my insurance will be having some pow wow conversations tomorrow and we'll have to figure out if we will have a co-pay or if we're on our own. The Ins switched and I didn't think that I'd be researching the coverage on meds this week, so I'm unprepared. My stims and triggers are supposed to arrive next Friday with the projected start date of Sept 30. WHOA!!

Hey ladies!
Everyone is so scattered but I thought I would stop by and say hello! I cant believe you are working on number two already Erica! Brave woman!! I am staying away from TTC for at least another couple years!

My lil man started walking at nine months and at this point he is running!
Whitney, are you pulling your hair out?? Two under two??? ahh!
Gotta run, but great to stop by!

obnurse · #10 (**permalink**) 09-20-2006, 06:00 AM

Hi everyone! I am still alive and kicking LOL! Life is very busy, I am working just 2 evenings a week and home with both kiddos the rest of the time. Things are wonderful, kids are good. Jack finally started crawling at 11 months old, what a late bloomer. He is just the sweetest thing ever, and Madeline is 2 going on 12. Girls are so advanced it is scary!

We are thinking of going for a 3rd baby next year. I have the Mirena in, so the plan is to pull that out in August and see how things go till the end of the year (they will go nowhere, I can assure you). I will start Clomid again in Dec/Jan and hope for another fall/winter baby! That will put Madeline at almost 5 and Jack at 3. I don't really want to have the 3rd so close. I want to enjoy Jack's babyhood and the new baby as well!

Glad to hear from everyone else!

Erica~ Good luck with # 2 sweetie. I want to see a new pic!!!

Sheridan~ Pulling my hair out is an understatement. I can't believe he is walking!! Hay is 10 months and trying.

Dawn~ You and Kate are both crazy! I couldn't even dream of a third right now.

Thanks Alynn!

Just jumping in here...

I remember all of you girls from years ago when I used to lurk a lot! Unfortunately, I gave up TTC for several years but I'm back at it now. I hope to have the same luck as all of you very soon.

Erica...you're more than welcome to come over to the TTC 30-Something Board as Lindsay just did! I host that board, too, and we need lots of newbies on there...it seems to be slower than normal! (As does this board...I can't seem to get it up and running like it was years ago with Whitney and Sheryl as hosts...ugh!).

waiting4ajoy · #13 (**permalink**) 09-25-2006, 07:50 PM

I thought I will jump in. I am an old timmer. But was not one of the lucky ones to have a baby. Right now I am not ttc. I just lurk alot to see how people are doing on here.

makabe · #14 (**permalink**) 09-26-2006, 06:30 AM

It's good to hear from everyone! I'll have to check out that new board... It's hard to keep up sometimes, but I do sign on to see how everyone and their kids are doing. I can't believe how many of the "old" girls have more than one baby now!!

Sam is doing really well... We think he'll do best as an only child for a bit longer (his attachment really became obvious after he'd been with us for about a year) so we'll probably not put in our next application until spring of next year. It's about an 18-month to 2 year wait to adopt from Korea right now...

Glad to hear everyone's doing so well!!

CUsweetie · #15 (**permalink**) 09-26-2006, 06:35 PM

Karen~Sam is just adorable!! Look at that smile!

Jessica~How are you doing sweetie? Are you still with the police friend of yours? You need to update us!

Kelli~You are doing great honey! The board has its ups and downs. GL this cycle!

racechick24 · #16 (**permalink**) 09-27-2006, 06:02 PM

Karen...wow, he has grown (I'm a lurker from long ago-turn host!

). Glad to see he has adjusted very well!

Whitney...thanks for the encouragement! This board seems to be picking up...hopefully it will stay that way!

obnurse · #17 (**permalink**) 10-07-2006, 10:30 AM

Jessica, good to hear from you! How are things? Last I knew you were divorced and with someone new. Hope things are going well!

ttc102002 · #18 (**permalink**) 10-07-2006, 09:50 PM

Hey there, ladies! I popped over to the 30something toddler to teen board for the first time! Lots of familiar faces over there! I need to get online more so that I can check in on all my friends!

Well, I'm on Estrace for a bit longer. Then, I'll add Prometrium and

should visit then. I'm guessing, near Halloween. My meds came last week and I can't wait to start them! Doing another injectable/IUI cycle.

I'm off to bed, I just wanted to give ya a little update!

rozyckan · #19 (**permalink**) 10-10-2006, 08:06 PM

Hey gals so good to catch up with everyone!!! The twins are 20 months old and are so much fun they are really starting to talk and are just so smart it is amazing!!! Olivia is already 6 months and she is getting ready to crawl - she is a crazy one like her brother Jake not content unless she is trying something new!!! I took another parental leave from teaching but am back two days a week again and loving it! I will have to check out the 30 something board since I will be there in less than a year anyway!!!!
Here are some pics I took of the kids at the apple orchard!!

racechick24 · #20 (**permalink**) 10-12-2006, 08:46 AM

Erica...any updates?

Annette...love the pics!

Me...well, I don't think you can call me a graduate from Clomid but I am moving on from it. Had an RE consult on Tuesday and it's been decided that we proceed with IVF. I'm still sticking around as host of the board so feel free to keep posting here as much as you like. I like seeing updates from all of you Old Clomid Cyclers...it gives me much hope!
