@august05:  Hi!!  Thanks for popping in!  So glad to hear that you’re doing well. 🙂

 

 

 

@MrsPuddingface: Haha thanks, my dear.  Keeping my hopes tempered for now.  I’m actually nervous I O’d a day later, which would make my timing not so great.  I’m trying to remind myself that I O every cycle on CD13, so there’s no reason to think that changed this cycle (except my CP was still high, soft and open on CD14 and my OPK didn’t turn positive until the night of CD12 and usually it’s positive that morning).  Nothing I can do now but relax, right?!  We know I’m so good at that. 😉 I want to hear about your appointment!!! UPDATE, UPDATE!!

 

 

 

@Solis2013:  So glad to hear you and DH are getting the ball rolling on some testing!  I hope you find some answers very soon!!

 

 

 

 

 

@BOGB:  I’m so sorry about your temps.  I’m anxiously checking your chart every morning.  I know you must be frustrated. *hugs*

 

 

 

 

 

AFM, I had to laugh this morning when I went into my FB app, solely to look at my messages because I had a new one – I still haven’t been on FB for over a week now – and when I exited my messages, the news feed popped up.  I tried to click out of it as soon as possible because I didn’t want to see anything and get sucked in.  And what’s at the top of the news feed?!  Someone’s freaking bump picture.  I have been on FB for all of 3 seconds in the last week, and I STILL see a pregnancy announcement???!  Funny joke, universe.  You got me. 

 

 

 

Also, just lurked around a bit and noticed ANOTHER “BFP?” thread.  When they are clear as day, WHY is there a question mark?!!?!  Ugh, sounds like I’m an angry elf today…

@hardtoconcentrate:  Ugh, stupid FB and yeah, I’m thinking these PITA BFP threads should be moved over to the pregnancy area, grrr. Maybe you should check out the comments now though 😉

@MrsHovzilla:  BAHAHA! That seriously made me laugh out loud.  Thanks for directing me over there. 😉

@MrsPuddingface:  Wow, you are awesome for catching up with everything!  I hope you O soon and your doctors appointment goes well today!

@MrsHovzilla:  Haha, your comment on that other thread made me laugh.  Just the right amount of passive aggressiveness 🙂

@Lyndzo:  I can’t either, I just make a good show of it! 😉

@BOGB:  *more virtual hugs* I’m sure they just need to ramp up the dosage a little. Good luck with your bloodwork today – I’ll be thinking about you!

@Mrs. Doily:  I really hope if I do move on I get to take at least one of you lovely ladies with me. I think even once we make it over to the Pregnancy threads, most of the women in there will have no idea why every twinge, cramp and TP check will be absolutely terrifying for us, on a whole other level than it is for those who haven’t tried so long and who haven’t suffered a loss. It would be nice to share a pregnancy with some of you ladies who would understand. XOX

@Solis2013:  Congrats on your DH being ready to face that – I think it’s a scary concept for most men! As for charting, start temping right away just to get used to it. I found my first month or so of temping it was about getting into a rhythm and coming to understand how it all works and what each temp means. That first month is still valuable data, but you’re basically wearing training wheels the whole time. I also found that I was losing sleep the first week through worrying about temping in the morning, so it might be good to get through that part before the data is actually important. GL!

@med700:  Thanks missy! The pee-holding thing was the worst – in fact, I couldn’t hold it. I drank so much water in the morning that I peed 3 times in an hour and a half before I went in, but I took a 1L bottle of water with me. I chugged it in the waiting room and hoped I had some residual already sitting in my bladder. The relief I felt when he told me to go empty it before the trasvaginal U/S was unbelievable! It’s bad enough when you think you might pee your pants, but it’s so much worse when there’s a guy hanging around in that area and you feel you might let loose at any second! haha

@MrsHovzilla:  I just called, to say, I love youuuuuu! *serenades* Seriously – you’re amazing, and that comment just made my day! XOXOXOXOX

@mrs.stormylove:  I’m glad the worst of AF must be over then, at least there’s that? As for the dairy and gluten-free – I don’t know how people do it. Dairy I can do without (except I eat lactose-free yoghurts like they’re going out of style), but gluten? Have you ever TRIED gluten-free bread? It’s DISGUSTING. It like, CRUMBLES. The only thing that’s gluten-free (that would normally have gluten in it) that’s good is cereals – those Gorilla Balls are awesome. Have you dipped into the soy and almond milks? I like them both but have heard through random tidbits here and there that you shouldn’t have a lot of soy while TTC – I don’t know why. It might be worth googling if you’re currently drinking a lot of soy milk.

@RoyalLime:  Thanks hon, I’ll update after the appointment (it’s at 12:30PST). DH MIGHT be willing to work out with me, but he goes to one of these old-school gyms where they have a ton of hanging bags and medicine balls and tons of freeweights. They don’t have treadmills or ellipticals or even recumbant (recumbent?) bikes — which is all the stuff I’d be wanting to use. I’ve been thinking about getting a treadmill or elliptical for home use, but we just don’t have the room for one. I already walk the dog twice a day, so I’m hoping to get into running with the dog. I did do a little this morning – I ran with him for 2 minutes, then walked for 3, then ran for 2, walked for 3 on our usual route. I’m hoping to slowly build up that way. If you have any tips to share I’d love to hear them!!!!

@hardtoconcentrate:  I’m sure your O date didn’t suddenly change. Either way your timing is STILL really good. I know this is one area you guys have struggled, and I think it’s awesome that you guys managed to pull this off! *knuckles your head, like an annoying uncle*  Don’t worry hetero-platonic soul-mate, you’ve got this in the bag 😉

@LAZB:  Thanks hon 😀 XOX

@Solis2013:  You can start charting now, it doesnt hurt. 

@MrsPuddingface:  HELLLLLLOOOOO LAAAAAAADDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! so good to see you catching up. You are so good;))) *hugs*  How was it training that new girl? How was your appointment today?  I really have nothing new to report.  Im on my TWW and not feeling anything at all, so Im taking as a good sign but not putting my hopes up.  

@hardtoconcentrate:  GRRRRRRR to the preggo annoucement booooooooooooooo……..if it isnt you and one of these lovely ladies, then who cares right???? I hope your day gets better, lady! *hugs*

@MrsHovzilla:  I saw your comment on that Thread…lmaoffffffffffffffffff.!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it! good one, girl!

@MrsHovzilla:  I cannot even begin to explain to you how amazing your comment was for my day.  🙂  You gave us all a nice smile in here!

 

@MrsPuddingface:  I would really like to know how many women have just lost their control on that table and peed themselves.  I wouldn’t blame them for a second!

@RoyalLime:  Hi, lady, my TWW is going well so far for the first time,  I have no symptoms whatsoever, so im taking it as a good sign, I hope:-/… Im 9dpo so I still got another week or so before AF decides to make an appearance, I m really hoping she stays really far away from us this time!  How have you been?

@RoyalLime:  I will test only if AF doesnt show by the 13th.  I know what you mean, although DH hasnt done his SA yet, but will this weekend.  I know that having good news is always in your favor, but then you start to wonder why isnt it happening if you are both healthy and the reproductive department is good too….its so frustrating, I know! Im staying as positive as i can, we shall if that works right?….chin up, lady;) FX this cycle is it for you too!!!!!

Sorry I haven’t been around much, work has been so busy this week for month end!

@MrsPuddingface: Hey lady! No sign of O yet. I stared doing opk’s on Monday at CD11 and they have all been super negative so far. What about you? And I am hoping and praying that you get some good news tomorrow. Keep us updated!

@hardtoconcentrate: Ugh I’m sorry about stupid FB. :/ And that BFP post… I could say something really mean but I am going to keep my mouth shut. 🙂 I hope you are doing ok! I see you are about 2dpo, and your BD timing looks great! FX that this is it for you!

@MrsHovzilla: LOL at your comment on that thread. 🙂

@RoyalLime: FX that the softcups work for you this cycle!

@MrsR4ever: I’m still keeping my FX for you girlie!!

AFM, CD13 here with no sign of O. If I don’t O in the next couple of days, I will probably be out for this month because DH and I are taking our son to visit my grandmother this weekend and we are staying with her so there won’t be any chance for BD’ing.

Sorry that I didn’t get a chance to respond to everyone, I hope you are all doing well!
