Good morning ladies!

B&B: You are right about letting nature do it's thing. I really should know better by now. It is so hard when you want something so bad. I know that we all can relate to that.

I am glad that you are feeling better & back in the game!!

Kristen: Hope you caught the eggy!!

vmartin: DH and I love to fish. We went yesterday and I caught 6 and he caught 7. Most of them were small or drums and I caught a large carp, but we had 2 good size catfish that we brought home.

Sorry that AF showed, she is trying her best to get me too.

2frsty: I have nothing but hugs and love for you, dear and an open ear if you need to talk. I am glad you have such a close family to lean on. That means a lot.

ttc: welcome! We all know the TTW craziness. You will fit right in. GL!

AFM: I tested on a $ cheapy yesterday morning with FMU and got a good faint line. I didn't have to squint or turn it in crazy angles to see it either and it is still there today. I was going to confirm with a FRER today.. The only thing is, I started spotting this morning again so I didn't bother taking another one bc I know it will be a waste of a good test. I am not quite sure what to think of it all. I just wish AF would hurry up so I can start over. As of right now, I can't even count this as CD1 yet.

Danielle: Girl, it sounds like you and I are in the same boat and I know how frustrated you are. Maybe it is bc we are stressing?!

Bumpin - its driving me crazy! Maybe it is because we are stressing. I know I have been off the past few weeks in general. My stepson's mother had her baby a week ago. That would normally have been her week to have him, but since she didn't want him the first week we kept him. And today starts what would normally be our week and we are keeping him again (which I'm glad) because she is having a really hard time with postpartum. Its just so frustrating dealing with someone who was already struggling to be a mom of 1 who is now a mom of 2 and should never have been. And my DH and I haven't gotten pregnant yet. It just all makes me sick. To watch my stepson come to the realization/thoughts that his mother doesn't want him around. No matter the reason, a 6 year old shouldn't ever have to deal with even a hint of those thoughts.

I know that isn't helping me at all on top of stressing about whether or not I'm pregnant this cycle.

Danielle: Bless your heart. Maybe you haven't gotten pg yet bc of this baby needing you. I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason. It is hard for us to imagine someone not wanting their babies when we are trying so hard to have one. Who is the babies' dad? That seems odd for her to want you guys to care for it, but maybe it was God's will.

Sorry you are going through such a hard time.

Oh no, we aren't caring for her new baby. We have my stepson. He normally swaps houses each week. But this is the 3rd week in a row that he is with us. And I hate that he feels like his mother doesn't want him. He is only 6 years old and should have to think about something like that.

Oh, I see. Sorry I misunderstood! Your stepson is lucky to have you in his life. I hate that he has to go through that. I didn't meet my mother unitl I was 21 and it was my wedding day 5 1/2 years ago. I haven't seen her in 4 years now. My stepmom and I aren't even close. The closest thing that I have ever had to a real mom is my MIL.

Oh wow. I can't imagine meeting my mom for the first time on my wedding day. That is amazing that you were willing to do that at that time. I'm glad to hear that you have your MIL now.

We've been having issues with her not giving him enough attention while he is there and have been working with a behavioral specialist because he was having tantrums while there. But she isn't willing to admit its something that she needs to change. And now all this. I'm glad I'm able to be that mom figure he's looking for but it breaks my heart to watch him testing her when her and I are in the same place.

Bless his heart.. I figure he is throwing the tantrums bc of the lack of attention. I hate that he is having to go through it. I have never understood it and probably never will. My DD is my life and I couldn't imagine not wanting to be there for her. She is truly missing out and will probably be the same way with the newborn. I really hope that it gets better for the children's sake and for yours.

Well yall im done I guess! I had severe cramping yesterday and showed up! The funny thing is I have never in my life cramped that bad. And then my flow is light. It is still here today, although very light. I will count these days as cd 1 & 2 and will take a test in morning to make sure before I start clomid again tomorrow. The reason im testing is because dr said make sure to test before each start of clomid AND (check this out) a friend came over yesterday and she brought along her 1 month old. She says she had cycle up to her 5th month of pg. And her prev. preg. She had a cycle until her 8th month! She said she didnt know she was pg until those months. I was astonished! Has anyone heard of this?

vmartin: I have read that it isn't that uncommon to have bleeding during pregnancy at the time of AF. Of course, it isn't a true AF bc your uterus sheds and gets ready for O if pregnancy wasn't achieved. For 3 months of my pg I had a very very light 2 day bleed with my DD. Now, when I get pg again, any blood will scare the bejesus out of me.
