Holly - I decided to go ahead and make myself totally miserable by putting together an IKEA bed for LO. Whiny children + bed construction = misery. A BFP really would be nice, even with the stomach virus!

Phat - hey girl ! Hope you feel better soon . Try Noxema .it works for everything . sounds like a rough time ... Hang in there super mom ! @holly -hope its the start of a for you ! Everyone's been so busy .dont forget to breathe ladies !

This fever sucked! My chart is so messed up, I have no idea how many dpo I am. I'm either 4 or 5 dpo. I got my + opk on tuesday but my cervix didnt feel ripe. Wednesday though my cervix was open snd soft. So i'm guessing 4dpo. No symptoms except my stomach is feeling iffy.

Holly- i hadan oh crap moment yesterday when i realized i hadnt paid bills!

@phat- how's your tummy holding up?

Tara - It's okay, and all the kids are better today, thank goodness. I'm 4dpo, so you probably are, too. I think anything with my tummy is from all the supplements, especially the frolic acid.

How was your nephew's cake?

Glad to hear it phat!

Nephew's cake turned out AMAZING! I even surprised myself!

Tara - I'm glad. I've never heard of marshmallow fondant. Is it good? I might try it. I don't like regular fondant at all.

I LOVE marshmallow fondant but I hate wilton premade fondant and some stuff that bakeries use. This was my first time making it and it was super easy. You basically knead powdered sugar and marshmallow fluff until you've reached the right consistency.... I used my kitchen aid with dough hook to do most of the work. It's like marshmallow playdough!

Wish my temps were higher. I know my coverline is way off but makes me nervous. Thinking about going for 7dpo progesterone test to check my levels. How are all my ladies?

Forgot to update on what i've added to my list of ttc tactics. I'm on day 4 of eating a whole pineapple. Apparently pineapple core has a special protein, bromelain, that helps implantation. So i cut up a pineapple on 1dpo into five sections. Then everyday i eat a section including the core!

@Waiting - I have never heard about the pineapple. I will try that if I don't get preggers this cycle.

AFM - Shooting pains in my boobs today, but they are not sore. I was extremely tired this morning. I stayed in bed until DH woke me up at almost 7:00 am! I normally get up at 6. When I got up I had a splitting headache. Hopefully it is the hormones kicking in.

Well I took a Wondfo this morning and it had a very thin second line. I waited about 6 hours and just took another one. The line is wider and clearly visible in person. I took a photo of it and posted it, but it is not that great. Not sure if you can see it. I hope this is the start of a BFP!

Also, after a BM a short time ago, I had some very stretchy EWCM. I was wondering if it could be semen since we BDd last night? Anywhoo. This may all be nothing, but it sure is exciting!
