Hi out of the Blue ( cool name choice) and everyone else. I am TTC this month after a chemical last cycle. I am ov TODAY!! Awesome right? Not really! My poor ds who just turned 3 was admitted to our local Hospital with what appeared to be some super virus. He was having 105+ fevers. Today is day 6 and we've been moved to Children's Hospital Boston. They are checking for Kawasaki disease, he has some of the symptoms and some bad blood work but not all of it is insistent so we're still thinking virus. He's actually doing much better than he was Sat through Tuesday.

I am ashamed to admit I brought my opk's with me to hospital. Last nights was very close to positive, so after a pm to Atomic I took her advice sent dh home for all my "stuff" and attempted a TBM. So awkward in a bathroom. I just couldn't miss this month after all my hard work, especially because I'm 40 and don't have much time!! When I did an opk's this am it was SUPER positive. Now what? Do we attempt another TBM in our private hospital room? I would never dtd, I'd be to scared! I might dtd ( quick and discreetly with sleeping ds tucked in bed)if it was late and there were no nurses checking in but I'm sure dh wouldn't. I wanted to go through O because of age and using Rephresh and Sylk. What do you all think ( besides that I'm nuts). Obviously Ds is our first priority but I need these o attempts. I did another Rephresh finger this a.m. even though I was due for a full applicator but didn't want to make it too hard if need to do TBM. dh has done FR and it asn't been easy. Today is day 20 of my cycle!! I'm STARVING. Not much on diet at Hospital cafeterias. Mostly Diet Pepsi with loads of Equal!!

Sorry so long but could use you advice. I've read all you posts and praying for a number of you to get your BFP's soon. That stark white first line is heartbreaking.

Hope DS gets better soon. I'd be doing the same thing I def would have brought my OPK sticks and would be having attempts any way I could. We put so much time/energy/effort/starvation in you can't waste a month! Any chance you can DTD in the car real quick. Certainly would change the boring sway sex to spicy.

Welcome, sis40. Hope your son is ok. How did the tbm go?

Well, I ended up going to the ob/gyn today because the last couple days I looked like I was 4 months pregnant and this morning I had sharp ovary pain. Turns out I have Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome from the clomid. I have to get blood work done and an ultrasound to make sure my electrolytes are ok etc. No sex for one month! And, if I'm not pregnant, (which it's looking like I'm not), I have to skip next month of trying so my ovary goes back to normal size. So sucky. I drowned my sorrows in my sons ' chicken nuggets and french fries tonight and a pb&j. Now my oversize belly hurts even more! I really wanted to have a baby before November. Sorry to vent.

First off don't be sorry to vent thats what we are here for. I am so sorry that is happening. Its so frustrating to have to take time off, I know well having to take off December and January Uggggg. So frustrating for you. Hoping you are not in too much pain. What dosage of the clomid are you on? Really hope you feel better soon. At least enjoy eating normal without guilt

What did I miss? I didn't see what u were responding to!

We went over to my parent's house tonight and we were all talking about DS1's tuition for school, and my mom said something AGAIN about how stupid it would be to have another child. I wanted to scream "Guess what, Mom?! I'm might be pregnant right now!!!!!!!!!" I didn't though, because I'm a big wimp. Uuuuuuuuuuugh.

It's really tough when family isn't supportive. My mom has always been the type that gives "advice" whether you want it or not. Before I was married it was her constantly telling me to go back to school. Now she thinks I need to do the same child spacing as she did, etc. It's really lame and I hope that either she turns around or that you will find it easier as time goes on to let her comments roll off your back. <3

Katie-sorry, hun. My parents are the same exact way. My mom once told me don't even tell me if you are ever pregnant again! Hang in there!

Thanks all for the well wishes. Just trying to go with the flow though as all of you know it is so hard to do sometimes. Hopefully the pain and swelling will start to go down.

Katie sorry your mum is being like that, some people don't think do they? My mum has also made a couple of comments in the last fortnight that getting pregnant again would be a silly idea

Well, high temps are probably because I was coming down with a fever. It's much lower this morning than it was last night (above 38C) but its still raised and I'm worried it'll harm my chances... and after such a good sway this cycle too...

oh no... and now it's moved my crosshairs and it says I last BDed 2 days before OV!
I know my latest temps might not be accurate due to the fever/whatever, but really hoped it was the day before it now says it is!

ETA - right, discarded the temps and changed it to "monitor" *sigh*. PMA rapidly decreasing!!

ETA - again, left the temps as they were (I like seeing more temps on my chart), and just changed the detector mode to fertility awareness and it put my OV day back to where any non-computer would have put it

OotB - LOVE your high temp this morning!!
