Hi ladies,
I'm 7 dpo and I already broke down and tested once. See, I have this gallbladder function test on DPO 11 this coming Monday - so I really need to know before that if I'm out this month. I can't reschedule, but the procedure can't be done if I'm pregnant. So I'm on tenterhooks, hoping to get a faint line or something before then so they will let me reschedule.

So I'm just waiting now...but I'm exhausted all the time, hungry and my boobs have stabbing pains in them. My temps ARE slowly rising though, and I looked at my chart the last time I was pregnant and I didn't spike till 9dpo, so hopefully....ugh. Hate the TWW.

Thanks Mom

Calvin - I had gall stones really bad (not knowing it ) when I was pregnant with my youngest, and like a week or so after having her, I was back in the hospital and I ended up with Pancreatitis on top of the gall stones because the Dr's at the first ER I went to were so imcompetent -.-' , anyways, Getting my gallbladder removed wasn't that bad, but I will say that , if you do have to have surgery to get it removed, you need to walk around so that the gas they put in you can dissipate, because that was THE WORST part after surgery @.@ Good luck to you =]

Calvin your symptoms sound promising. I really hope you get a line by Friday so you can cancel.

I almost broke down and tested today but it kinda looked like my cm was getting darker. I usually spot before af so I just decided to wait. No need in wasting a test. I am thinking I may be pms'ing big time this month. I had a few words with a co-worker and I got so heated that I cried and envisioned myself chocking the crap out of her. I am usually a happy positive person and I allowed her to take me out of the vortex, so I left work early and came home to relax in the tub and refocus my thoughts.

Mom yes I am a southern chick. I love Chicago when the weather is nice.

39 thats awesome to know someone else has a passion for natural healing.... It would be awesome to get together to talk. We probably would be up all night talking:)

YES! Ok, I'm a little optimistic. Just had a HUGE temp spike this morning, making my chart triphasic, and I also started coughing. Seems silly, but coughing has always been one of my pregnancy symptoms. That kind of tickle in the back of your throat - you aren't sick, but it bugs you? You are either clearly your throat constantly, or coughing. I had that for three months with Oscar, and with Jack (my first son), I had it throughout + weird sneezing fits. I had to take a bunch of sudafed just to get through the day. I read it's the progesterone.

Anyway, could just be allergies, and I really didn't think we had much of a chance this month because we only BD'd once in the window, but maybe JUST MAYBE we caught the egg. Couple more days and I'll know...hope those temps stay up. Check it out - I have my chart on my profile.

39. Some women get crazy mood swings before a bfn, read about one lady who called her mil all the names under the sun over something silly hung up the phone and cried hysterically, got a bfp a few days later. Things are certainly looking good for you as so many different things are happening

Chicks. Good for you taking care of yourself!! Have you tried talking to your dh without getting emotional? Explain to him what you need and when if he still wants to keep ttc, they don't get it unless it is spelt out simply for them. My dh was shocked about the egg only being viable for 12-36 hours. Good luck and hope he decides to go for it every month

Mom. It's sods law that you will fall this month put on a load of weight just so nothing fits for the wedding What a great excuse though for buying an expensive new dress, how could your dh complain? Don't forget the shoes.. ...and bag.

Pumpkin. Poor you, sinus pain sucks Had problems with mine recently, my lips were tingly and numb, had what felt like toothache in nearly every tooth. Cold compress helped ease it a bit for me, hope it eases soon

Calvin. Things are sounding so promising with you, we are all waiting for the . I hope this is it for you

Afm. Still unsure if I've o'd, slept last night but woke early morning to pee and forgot to take my temp. Took it a few hours later when I woke again but not sure if it's valid, aaagh!!!!

Hi ladies,

I am feeling much better today. My dh and I listen to positive thinking audio books so they help me stay focused on the good things. Money and the Law of Attraction by Abraham Hicks. Cd 20

Miracle yes I am sure we would have a grand time sharing knowledge.

Calvin your chart looks good. Hope your temp stays high and you get that bfp this weekend. I will be checking for your test pic.

Kenzie I know not knowing when /if you O'd is driving you batty since you are a consistent temp taker. Just bd all month...lol. I may need to start back temping.

Sending a blizzard of
In expectation of seeing strong BFPs!!

Hi all!! I am not as big of a reader as I once was. I love Dean Koontz too. I think I've read about everything from him. LOVE ODD THOMAS!! I laugh... I cry. Great book series! I've read LOTR also a few times and own all the movies... but of course. Currently I'm reading 'For The Love' by Jen Hatmaker... great read and she's so funny.

ATM I'm on CD9, but not temping.... don't know why really just am tired of it all. Just tracking CM this month and nothing to report. My son started the 4th grade this past Monday and it just all blows me away. Squeezing him for all he's worth at times and taking in every moment I can. He is my heart walking around outside of my body.

Hope you all are well! Sending hugs, prayers and baby dust your way!!

Hi all,
39. Glad your feeling more like your usual self, give your dh a big hug from me for knowing exactly what you needed Can't wait until you poas I will keep every few days just to be sure even though things are starting to feel a bit tender

Baby. What age is fourth grade? We have a completely different system here and its a bit confusing for me. I never get tired of watching lotr movies, have even started trying to get my ds hooked! Good for you not temping, once I get my cycle regular again I plan to check for a temp rise after o (by this point I know my normal temps before and after) and that will be it. I want to be more relaxed about everything.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend
