HELLO LADIES- I never complain about the cold weather here because I HATE HEAT...Esp. since I'm not down to my exact pre baby weight yet so I dread shorts...and tanks...and going out lol!

Z- That's sooo funny you did too! I did today too (DH insisted) and I don't even tell him its a BFN I just leave it there and he figures it out. LOL!

T- So sorry to hear but we will all be here for you next cycle! :)

Sandra- I don't temp either so don't feel bad but I probably should start trying too if this isn't our month...

DB- Kinda in the same spot as you just a day further...at least I think...I'm usually right on time for O and that would have been the 7th but like those tests say it could be 24-36 hours from the smiley so I could have possibly O'd on the 8th.

AFM- Tested yesterday and today. DH insisted...I honestly was going to try not too til tomorrow before my appointment but he seems more excited this cycle then I let on...Feeling a little discouraged today. I know it's early it's just anymore I've tested so many times the past 3 cycles that I feel like I'll never see a BFP and I'm nervous for the Dr's tomorrow because I feel like that is when I'll absolutely get my answer (I have a pap tomorrow anyways) and I guess if I wait til aunt flo on my own it kinda gives me a few days of hope instead of a direct answer tomorrow.

Amanda- I will be thinking of you tomorrow!

Baby Dust to you all... <3

I forgot to mention my stomach has been kinda in knots and my back is KILLING ME. I don't remember having this much backpain 6 days before a period is due...

Happy morning!

I feel like I am running out of different ways to say hello in the morning... I guess I can't be creative all the time

@Sandra: my DS is 20 months. He doesn't quite get hide and seek quite yet, but you gave me quite a few good ideas! I'll definitely keep those in my back pocket for the future. I prefer the digital OPKs too.

@Momma: my DH is the opposite, he just wants to know about positives. Don't get me wrong, he is SUPER excited about having another child, but he doesn't need to look at tests... especially tests that aren't obvious. I few cycles ago, I asked him to look at a test that I was unsure about and he rolled his eyes at me and said "aren't these things supposed to be obvious? Show me in a couple days when it is darker." He doesn't get the wanting to know early thing, if he were a chick, he'd wait until after his missed period. Silly boys.

@amanda: it's doctor day! Hope your appointment goes well!!!

AFM: DPO 10, my temp went up again. This time by 0.1, so I pulled out a FRER (usually I just use the cheapies)... I really ought today was gng to she my day for a beautiful pink stripe. It wasn't... BFN.

There's still time... It's still early, right? I woke up with a sore throat this morning, I hate not feeling well. Blah!

Happy Thursday to all of you!

Hello ladies! :)

@Amanda: Hope it goes great today! Please keep us posted! :)

I hope none of you lost anyone close or dear to you in Boston...I can't believe how there can be people so heartless...

On a more positive note, I e-mailed my doc yesterday, and asked him to recommend me a fertility specialist. I really feel I am running out of time...I turn 38 this year, and, even though I know it is perfectly normal, and lots of women do it, I just don't want to be 40 with a newborn...I'd like to have my second - and last, I guess - before I hit 40.

Will let you know how it goes....I fear the doctor will make me lose wait, and I hate diets... :S I have always been on the heavier side of the scale but it wasn't a problem with my first, I even thought I was 'for sure' get gestational diabetes, but I didn't! I think I've never watched what I eat more carefully than when I was pregnant...anyway, we'll see. I'll keep you posted, specially if doctor gives me any good advice, I will share it with you! :)

Have a wonderful Afternoon-evening... :)

Barbara.

Hi guys.

Ddjohnson: glad your temp is up! That's a good sign. Im praying that you get your BFP soon.

Amanda: waiting on the good news

Afm: I think af is coming. My bbt dropped from 98.4 to 98 this am. I have been having af type cramps off and on all day. so im looking a head to the next cycle. And im ok with it. We didnt get enough bding in this cycle so i wasn't really exspecting much. The bbt rise kinda excited me day before yesterday but today brought me back to reality.

Hey ladies..

I'm still waiting to hear the good news from some of you this cycle!

I hate to be selfish but I HAVE to vent!

So it rained a TON here the last two days! So much that when I went to my dr. appt (that is an hour away b/c we live in a small town) that one of our major highways. So to make a long story short after 20 wasted minutes getting around the flood and almost an hour on the road I realized I was going to be at least 20 mins late and called and had to reschedule Then to make matters worse my phone died right after the call with the doc so I couldn't call DH and tell him that I was coming home and not to take DD to my grandma's (30 mins from home b/c of flooding) to watch her. Luckily they were still at home after I rushed back. And to put the cherry on top.. this is the first time I've been on the internet since Wednesday afternoon (b/c of storms that took out our internet at home). SO to sum up.. without internet I got out pantry, medicine cabinet and one other cabinet organized.. along with all the laundry done woo hoo! haha And my appointment is now next Thursday instead (thank goodness they could get me in so soon).

Ok, so now that I'm done whining. On to my weird symptoms.. creamy cm for the last couple days.. none yesterday completely dried up but oddly enough I have had sore boobs for 3 days now (including today) and have recently noticed that my aereolas are quite a bit larger than normal.. I even had DH confirm b/c I thought I was losing my mind! Along with the aerolas my actual nipple is enlarged as well. Any ideas ladies?? I'm super confused.

It's been a rough 24 hours... My cat has been acting strangely and seeming thin, so I took him to the vet yesterday. Vet said all signs point to cancer. My heart is broken. He is 10.5 years old, I've had him since he was just 6 weeks old. He was my baby before I met my husband. He is at the vet today having some tests and x-rays done, we'll know more later... But I've been a weepy mess and I can't imagine life without him.

I'm 11 DPO. My temp jumped from 98.17 yesterday to 98.42 this morning. I took a FRER, but no second line. When I got home after dropping my kitty off, I had a couple of drops of blood in my undies. I don't know what is going on.

@amanda: sorry about your appt. weather sucks! At least you got a few things accomplished. I've been needing to organize my closets and cabinets, I just always put it off.

@zuberi: it isn't over yet! Until you drop under the coverline and get AF, you are still in the hunt.

Sorry for such a downer post, my head just isn't in the game right now. All I can think about is my little friend.

Thank God it's Friday- it is Friday right?

Amanda- I'm so sorry to hear you couldn't get any answers yesterday! Hoping today is better and dryer! It's been cloudy and windy here and storms are coming through. It's very strange you are having pregnancy symptoms...did you test again just to test? I mean maybe it wasn't chemical maybe you ACTUALLY are! Hoping your appointment is soon so you can start next cycle.

DB- Normally my husband is more...whatever about it but I feel like he is starting to get anxious and he is the one pushing the testing everyday. He's like a little kid lol horrible with surprises. I'm so sorry to hear about your cat :( I know that they are like babies esp. when you've had it for so long. Hopefully it's nothing and the vet with give you the clear...also that is SOOO exciting your temp is going up! Maybe you had late implantation? The body does mysterious things...

Z- Don't count out yet! I guess you will see soon when AF comes!

LucasMommy- don't get discouraged, I'm sure you will be before 40! I can't wait to hear news from you about what they say. I hate diets too. I've tried cutting out my pop but the more months of TTC the more I've been slacking and drinking it. no more then 2 a day. Which is supposively ok considering I dont like coffee...

AFM- Had my test at the dr. yesterday for abnormal cells (i've had them forever...nothing is wrong just routine) and it's pretty dreadful and leaves me with cramps. They tested for pregnancy and it was negative. I've heard that their tests only pick up 50ml of HGC so I guess I still have a shot but I've been pretty much counting myself out this month as well and looking forward to TTC next month and actually using preseed and baby aspirin. Also going to try the every other day method and buy the O strips and bedding 3 days after a positive (yep have it all planned) LOL

Nothing much is new and GLAD to report we are very far from the Boston mess. Hope to hear you are all away from it as well.

Hugs.

Hi ladies. Just checking in.

MommaC: i agree with you......you have to have a plan. Lol. Im going to revamp mine. Lol don't really know what.im going to add but i know it will be something.

Amanda: hang in there girl

Dbjohnson: sorry about your cat and maybe its just implantation spotting. (which is a good thing) keep your eye on it. We will pray it don't get any heavier.

Afm: nothing new.

Hi Ladies,

hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Afm: AF came, im not cramping like I usually do you i think its because of the primrose oil. well im starting cycle day 1 tomorrow.
