Yeah that's what I've read. Interesting though. Boy she has been moving pretty much non-stop today, which is great. But she's taking all my energy definitely. I've been soooo tired, but I really don't want to go to sleep right now.

Since we're on the topic of tasting breast milk ... I never could bring myself to taste mine. I never leaked while I was pregnant; never leaked while I was nursing, either. But (even though I didn't think so at the time) I made plenty for John. It was SOOOO hard, breastfeeding. Everyone says "It's such a natural thing." Which is true, of course. But it doesn't COME naturally! At least not for me! And my GOD, I'll never forget the feeling of that first latch. I was certain that someone had clenched my nipple in a vice grip and had run out of the room with it! It got easier and less painful though! Just thought I'd share my 2 cents, not that anyone asked for it! Knowing what I know now, I am CONFIDENT that I'll have a much more enjoyable time nursing the next one! (If there is to be one. )

AFM: Finally got a flashing smiley today on my digital, showing high fertility! Yay! Today was my last day on Femara, so hopefully we'll be able to make a baby in the next few days. I ran out of Softcups and forgot to get more today. Guess I'll have to run to Walgreens tomorrow.

I've found my tribe, lol! I stared at a Wondflo today until a mirage of a second line appeared.

My back is sore and I am exhausted from sitting at the computer all night reading everything I can about TTC, TWW, OV, and watching videos of sperm mobbing eggs, embryos rolling around in fallopian tubes, and implantation (transformer stage) and trying to listen! to my belly to figure out if any of that might be going on in there. smh.

Really just very low and sad today. I am 15 DPO all BFN on a Letrozole IUI cycle. Ultrasound and second BFN at doc's office to start the morning. Was really hoping this was the one, as we all are :(

yes...

@2frsty- I must be preparing myself for future breastfeeding. I keep accidentally pinching my nipples in stuff ! ROFL! Like I was cleaning a vase and when I put my hand in the vase to dry it out with a towel, the vase was too close to my chest and somehow pulled my nipple into the vase. Guess that's what I get for not wearing a bra under my shirt that day. LOL!

@latetothegame- Welcome sugar cube!!! I never thought of that but we are like a tribe arent we? LOL...our screen names are like our tribal names. So instead of Dances with Wolves or Stands With A Fist....we're Pees On A Stick or Stands On Her Head ! ROFL. I'm sorry, I just finished my coffee so I'm slap happy. lol! Have you checked out the beautifulcervix website? That's addicting too if you check your cervical position or mucus. I'm so sorry your iui cycle was bust. Bfns seem even harder when we put so much money towards treatments. I have to drop a $1000 towards an injectable cycle in a few months and I'm scared it's either going to fail or end in miscarriage again. If you dont mind me asking....what's your doctor's next plan?

@lau543- so relieved to know I wasnt alone in this. When I first start ttc, friends looked at me like I was loco. lol

@2Frsty- thanks for your input. I'm not leaking, but I can squeeze gently and get some. I'm actually thankful that I'm not leaking right now, just got lucky with this. Lol

@Tara- that's one heck of a way to prepare yourself. Lol

late--> Welcome to the crazy game!! (You may have joined this forum before - I'm a fairly newcomer myself - but I've not welcomed you, so WELCOME!) If I could get back all the time I've spent staring at tiny little strips - I could live forever

I got my solid smiley face tonight! So looks like tomorrow is O day and then into the TWW for me!

Need my straight jacket....who wants to tighten it for me??!!!!

Guess who's on their period.....on cd18....without ovulating? This lucky girl right here!. Apparently a side effect of the spirolactone I'm on (to lower my testosterone) is a period every couple weeks. It's only been 11 days since my af ended. I'd love it if it was ovulation bleeding but according to google...many girls have the same problem on it. I cant catch a break...

@2frsty- were you able to get your baby dance on?

Goodness I've missed so much! I tried to read and catch up but I'm sure I missed stuff. I agree- we are a tribe :)

Jess- I hope you're feeling better.
Waiting- that's a crappy side effect! Hopefully it just means it's working and going to help you get that perfect baby though. Have you had the anniversary party or still planning? How did it go/is it going?
2frsty- did you get to BD in time for ovulation?!
Enbutler- you are so cute pregnant!

AFM- I am 8 weeks now and I have been deathly ill since week 5. 3 trips to the hospital, I'm out of work for at least another week or 2, and Ive lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks. This pregnancy, though very wanted, is I swear trying to kill me sometimes. I just hope everything is still going well- I have another check up a week from Monday. I see Drs all the time I'm so sick but they don't always check the baby, so I'm excited for a baby focused appt and hoping and praying all is well with the little bean even though I'm deathly ill!
