I'm sorry AF showed EB . How's Af going? Any pain?
I'll still be here to support you in February :)

AFM- CD11 already. Crazy! My chin feels like I had a fast ball hit it. At least it shows the soy is working again. I've been SOOOOO stressed out too. Our cat is being a Booger Meister Meister Booger. This is his first christmas and the sudden appearance of a 9' christmas tree, twinkling lights and light up santa have him stressed out. The tree he seems to be enjoying though...he's already climbed multiple times and broken some ornaments. He only does it when we're not home cause we're watching him. But the stress of everything has made him develop a really bad habit! After the first time he destroyed the christmas tree (bent branches etc), dh and I kinda raised our voices at him. It freaked him out and he immediately went out to his cat bed near his litter box and peed on it! I cleaned the rug under it and tossed the bed. Since then he's been fine (besides climbing the tree which will stop soon cause we bought a cat barrier that inserts under the tree). Until today. Dh was going to put him in the mudroom with his litter/food while we were gone so he didnt get into the tree. I told dh to put down a towel in the floor so he had something cozy to lay on. Dh put it in the floor and the cat automatically peed on it. Full on, emptying of bladder! Ugh! No urinary tract infection..just stress from the decorations. I guess he now thinks soft fluffy towels etc in the mudroom are a second litter box. So I have to go buy special enzyme cleaner after work to remove the cat pee from the rug that was under the towel (2nd time cleaning it). Plus we need to make sure there are no towels or blankets on the floor for him to use. He's still using his litter box normally...it's just those 2 times. So as you can tell, I'm a bit stressed out . To top it off, money is super tight for christmas cause of everything we've had to do to get the cat normal again. SO happy I'm off for a week so I can pause and take a breath.

Oh no That's crazy..they sell some sort of spray you spray on the tree to keep pets away. I trained my cat at a few months old by simply spraying it on things I don't want him being on and now (his first christmas) he was biting it and after i sprayed it bam he stopped :) It's a life saver definately give it a go !!

And I'm so sorry about the way you feel hun :( x

Hello everyone hope u all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with ur families. Sorry I haven't had much time or strength to get on til now but I'm back lol! Been very busy this holiday week, as I'm sure it was for all of us.

Waitingonmymiracle it sounds like u have ur hands full wit ur kitty. Omg I used to have indoor cats but my dh got upset that one of them had an accident out of their litter box and that was it. Next day he built them a cat house n they seemed to ebony enjoy it quite nicely until he moved them or to the porch they freaked and ran inside. The first nite they refused to sleep in it they just plopped in front of the door waiting for it to open to make their OO7 move lol. But dh was determined to keep them there they ate about a week they finally got used to the fact that they would stay outside but not to the fact that it was dh that sent them there lol they would not play or get near him for about 2 months. They loved me but they resented him for kicking then out. I felt bad for dh he really tried to get them to forgive him but they weren't having it. Finally about 2 months later it was as if nothing ever happened they were his best friends again all was well. My dh is a bit of a neat freak n had very little patience with messes except for baby messes those he will gladly clean lol thank God for that cuz my poor boys would be living in the dog house next to our kitties lmbo jk.

Well back to baby news little one doing great except for Tuesday I had to go to er the morning sickness (all-day sickness) was too much to bear hadn't eaten for 3 days nothing would stay was getting dehydrated. Dr sent me too er to get fluids n they have me some nausea meds. Thankfully baby was fine strong heart beat at 172. Just mommy was miserable but feeling better meds dont work all the time but has helped keep something down so my little one can grow strong n healthy. Dr appt on monday for check up. At least I was able to see my little one again keep growing Baby girl

Praying for u all n

Oh noooo Im glad you and baby are ok now...

@lilliam- I'm sorry morning sickness is kicking your butt hun. I hope the meds kick in. Keep us updated :). It's funny...we go our lives trying to prevent the stomach flu but we are begging and pleading for morning sickness when ttc. My greatest christmas gift would be super sore breasts and nausea ROFL!

CD 14 over here and waiting for the big O. My cervix is heading in the 'ripe' direction. Not surprised that this ov date is later than the last time I did the soy cause I started it two days later and used it for one day longer (my normal prescribed regimen). And this every other day is for the bird! It's when I cant get it that I want it the most. And dh knows this. For example, days we cant BD...he breathes heavy in my ear and tmi...puts his all over me while I'm trying to make dinner lol. He's such a tease .

Things are much better with kitty! We got this awesome Christmas Tree Defender that snaps into place between the bottom layers of branches. It's too high for him to pull himself up and he cant climb up from the bottom. You cant even see it so it's awesome! And no more peeing outside of the box. My dad and I are going to build him a cat tree so he can rough house on that. But I'm trying to draw a design. Saw this cool lotus design but not sure :/. Anyways...I love you ladies. I'll keep you updated on OV! :)

OK...so this has been a crazy day in the ttc department! lol. Before bed I checked my cervix and it felt softer but still kinda closed. I hadnt taken an opk yet so I took one at midnight (I was up late lol). It was quite dark and so close to positive! I went to bed but couldnt sleep. About 30 minutes later I suddenly had to pee again. On a whim, I took another opk (obsess much ). It was positive . I stood in the bathroom for 10 minutes trying to decide what to do. Either have middle of the night lovins or wait til the morning. I went for it! I crawled over to dh on the bed and woke him up. I said, "Wake up and screw me!" I honestly tried to make sound sexy but I'm pretty sure it came off desperate. He opened one eye and cracked a smile. I dont normally talk that way but I felt bad waking him up so I figured I'd try to be....hot..ish lol. Anyways, I woke up this morning to a a cervix so open I could drive a bus through it . Praying for a big temp spike tomorrow!

Hiiiiiiiiiiiii ladies !!!!!!!!! I finally broke back into my account ! I lost my passwor and got a new email .I still stalk you guys daily :) so happy for Athena !!!

Nicky thank you. I also stalk too lol. Our baby boy is 3 months on Saturday.

Update- no big temp spike yet so not quite sure what's up. I've been feeling very 'off' since yesterday. My stomach has been having waves of nausea that talking about makes me nauseous. So I'm hoping progesterone post ovulation. My bbt chart is sorta all over the place so I'm just waiting to see what happens.

@nicky- Hi honey!!!!!!!!!!! 9 months already? That's insane!!!! Time is flying by so fast! That is so sweet that you are still following. I bet everyone still reading is getting bored with me lol...same dang story...same dang time lol. Phat is doing good! Her and I talk on facebook daily. She's still trying but is mostly focusing on her health and fitness. She's a beachbody coach now and is awesome at it. She's lost so much weight and has some guns for biceps! lol. Holly is pregnant. I cant quite remember how far along she is but I think she's due soon. I was so happy that she finally got her miracle! She's an inspiration to me. Actually all you ladies are. I love my personal cheerleaders . So do you think you're about 8dpo? Hopefully your next pregnancy, your morning sickness wont be as bad. I felt so horrible for you . OH boy....the dildos! lol.

See what I mean? My post OV temps are usually around 97.8 - 98.4. So I dont think I've ovulated yet. I'm almost out of OV tests too. . Could be possible though that I OV'd yesterday cause a .5 increase is good. I'll know more tomorrow when I temp. Praying for a solid 98.0!
