OP & TTC 11/2-11/9

[jenn42302]

Good morning ladies!

Just thought I'd start the week since I'm up so darn early!!! I guess when you are in bed on a Saturday night by 9am, you'll be up early!!!

My boss came in on Friday at 10:30 am, "to check her email" except you can access our email system from home. She holed up in her office the whole time. Oh well :rolleyes: I did get out of work by 2pm. I tried to get out by noon, but we had a crisis going on -- our secretary's 15 yr old daughter ran away the night before and was missing! And they live in the most awful, wretched neighborhood in Buffalo. Kinda didn't want to run out of there to go home early & carve pumpkins and decorate outside for the trick or treaters. I've had that situation on my mind all weekend--I hope she came home Friday and everything is OK.

I am trying to not obsess about my chart http://circles2.fertilityfriend.com/home/3331f , I've actually been OK about it, I'm more concerned to see what happens with Fiona and June!!!!! So girls, any BFPs??????? I was hoping to come here this morning and maybe see something?!?! I think I might test tomorrow, but I'll have to go get some HPTs, so maybe that will help me wait past testing tomorrow if I don't buy any today!! I have no idea what to think about my chart because I have no point of reference. I just feel bloated and a little crampy, like AF is going to show soon, but she's not due intil Friday. I keep telling myself, p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e!

That's all from me! I hope you all had very fun and happy halloweens, and lots of trick or treaters so there isn't a lot of leftover candy!!!!

O- and babydust to all!!!!

I'm expecting AF to show today, I tested BFN this morning. But I expected that since my temperatures have been dropping. :-( It's 3 p.m. here so AF should show any minute basically, I wish she'd get here so I can get it over with for now.

I decided to renew my VIP membership at FF, so I'm definitely going to be just as obsessing with my next cycle/chart....

Fiona, how are you and your chart doing?

Jenn - I hope the secretary's daughter is safely at home. On another note, your chart looks good, doesn't it?!

Take care everyone,
June

Hi everyone

Its a wet sunday afternoon her and I am hiding away in the study. Part of my trying to be calm and relaxed.

Added to that its Sunday afternoon and so far (fingerscrossed) no signs of AF. I am still going to wait at least until tomorrow night or tomorrow morning to test. And Don't ask me about temps as I didn't chart this month at all. Didn't want to obsess about it.

Jenn: I am so sorry to hear about your friends daughter. Have you heard anything yet?

June: Sorry to hear that you think AF might show. Hopefully she doesn't and you get a BFP.

Well I am off to hide some more.

Baby dust to all.

Fiona smile.gif

[shellys]

Oh June- Im so sorry that your temps are dropping. :rolleyes: Im hoping they bounce back up!

Fiona- wow you have such patience! I would have tested 5 times by now!! Good Luck tom morning!

Jenn- do you know how many days your lp is usually? (days after 2ww leading to day of AF?) the temp going back up looks good but sometimes temps can do that even if AF is going to show unfortunatly graemlins/ugh.gif Im hoping its climbing its way back up for a BFP!! Its good to temp for a few cycles so at least you can see how your body is operating and if you "O" on the same day every cycle. Good Luck!! Go Temps GO!!

[tringinjune]

Hi there, thank you for your thoughts, unfortunately I do’nt have any good news: my temperatures dropped below the coverline this morning and AF started today :-( so I’m on to a new cycle. Well, at least my money for the FF membership aren’t wasted <grin> And looking at the bright side: my cycles are short (24-27 days) so at least I don’t have to wait terribly long times for O.

I’m thinking about buying OPK’s but on the other hand I don’t know that they would add anything. So far I’ve been able to pretty much pinpoint and predict the O-date with charting. Maybe OPK’s will just add to the stress and be a waste of money.

Fiona - my fingers are crossed for you! I *so* hope you’ll have great news to share soon! BTW - how is not temping - is it easier to relax about things and not obsess just as much?

Everyone else - how are you? We don’t celebrate Halloween here, bur how was yours? Not too much candy, ringt?! ;) I miss the mincemeat pie - we can’t find the filling here, so I haven’t had it in ages.

Off to get some work done, I must finish the paperwork for two cases today, and have the papers at court by 4 p.m. so I’d better get busy.

Babydust/O-dust,
June

Good morning, ladies,

I can't believe it's November! Apparently, neither can the weather - they're expecting it to be 83 degrees today (record high). And me inside at work...

I managed to leave work by 4 p.m. on Friday. DH and I were kinda nervous as we were driving home through mondo traffic, thinking we'd have missed all the little neighborhood kiddies by the time we got home. But thankfully, we didn't. We had 20-21 little trick-or-treaters, all looking very cute. We have loads of candy left over, though - time to bring it to work...

(editing) - ok, so I was so distracted by my temping this morning that I forgot to post about an exciting non-TTC development. I went to the "black tie" event on Saturday night, which was a lot of fun. It was a charity gala and auction, and one of the things up for auction was a trip to Australia. So guess where DH and I are going on our next vacation?? We did not pay much (if any) above the market value for the trip, which was very surprising, and VERY exciting - some of the other auction items went for unbelievable amounts of money. The trip will be some time between May and September - I told DH to lean toward the May timeframe (even though our anniversary is in September) because there's a chance we'll either have a child or be so close to it that international travel won't be possible in September.

So - I'm pretty psyched about that. Now, back to work so I can pay for it...

Jenn - sorry your temps are dropping. Mine are all over the map this month. No rhyme, no reason. I'm trying not to drive myself nuts.

June - so sorry AF showed! Here's to a productive November.

Fiona - Good idea not temping and just relaxing, esp. after treatments. It would only make you crazy.

To everyone else - hope you had a great weekend!

[elmirady]

Good morning ladies! Not much new going on here. Just kind of temping and BDing and waiting to see when FF says I "O" and basically just waiting some more! I am NOT a patient person.

Fiona - Have you tested yet? I too would have tested at least 3 times by now! LOL. Tell us, inquiring TTC minds want to know! Baby dust to you!

Shellys - How are you feeling?

Jenn - It ain't over til the Ole Witch shows up! My fingers are still crossed for you. As for your chart...well I'm new at this so I can't say!

Baby and "O" dust to all and a big hello to anyone I may have missed.
June - Sorry the ole witch showed up this month. November is your month! Tyr to keep that witch away from Fiona and Jenn

[Fiona]

Hi everyone

Well its monday morning and still no sign of AF. Although I am having doubts. The longer it stays away the more I feel like it is a tease and I really don't want to get my hopes up. Providing nothing happens today I plan on testing tomorrow morning. So Please cross your fingers for a BFP for me in the morning.

June: I am sorry that AF showed up for you this month. But just remember there is always next month.

Shelly: How are you feeling? Did you have a good visit with your friend?

CAlgal: I am so jealous. I want a trip to Australia (for purely selfish reasons thought - I want to visit my Mum). If you have any questions about Australia feel free to ask me - the resident TTC expert on Australia (afterall I did live there for 27 years). Just on May - the weather there is starting to cool down some what. its late fall there then and September can either be really hot or really cold.

Elmira: I am just trying not to jinx myself this month. I just want it too much to work out. So Hopefully I will have news in the morning.

HI everyone else. Hope you have a good day.

Fiona smile.gif

[aprilk]

Good morning. We have wonderful fall weather today (the high is supposed to be 25 F). Brrr! Dh & I went out of town & did some Christmas shopping over the weekend. Since we're so far away from malls, we have to plan pretty far in advance.
Nothing new to report here on the TTC front. My temps have been all over the place. I'm beginning to think I'm not even O'ing?? Guess I need to just make that fertility appointment and stop procrastinating.

June~I'm so sorry to hear af showed. I really had thought this was it for you. Fingers crossed for you next month!

Jenn~Your chart looks really good. How awful about your secretary's daughter, did she come back over the weekend?

Fiona~Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you! I think you're going to be our next BFP!

Calgal~Can you send some of that warm weather our way? Congrats on winning the trip. That sounds so wonderful!

Elmirady~Doesn't all of this waiting get old? I often feel like that's all I do. Wait to O, wait to find out if pg, wait for af to leave. There should be a way to find out instantly!

How is everyone else doing?

April smile.gif

[jenn42302]

Hi Girls!

Brief check in today. Our secretary's daughter came home (to her grandmother's house) late Friday. Today, she is having her daughter arrested to teach her a lesson!! :eek: I've just been keeping them in my prayers, because what advice can you offer on a situation like that???

Temps went up this morning!! :D Will share hilarious false BFP story - the test I bought at a pink horizontal line that goes through the test while the urine is making its way up through it. I see this line in the test window and start jumping up and down in the bathroom thinking it is a BFP!! until I realize that the line is supposed to be VERTICAL, like the one in the control window is starting to look like. I tell you, you can't imagine the range of emotions and thoughts that go through your head when you think you see a BFP. i hope so see one for REAL in the next couple of days...

Fiona ~ Me too, all my fingers, toes and everything crossed for you!!! HEAPS of babydust!!!!!!!!

calgal ~ congrats on winning the bid on the trip!!!! It sounds AWESOME!!

June ~ so, so sorry the witch showed. I tried to keep her away, I did!!

april ~ Sorry it's been so cold. and sorry you live 100 miles from the mall - I'd DIE (though I'd have a very happy DH if the mall was so far away!)

dyann ~ have fun BDing and waiting for that O!

graemlins/wave.gif Hi to everyone else!! Take care, babydust and Odust to all!!!

jenn smile.gif

[MrsA925]

Hi Ladies

Fiona- OMG you are holding out so much longer than I would have.

Jenn- Your chart looks good!!

June- Sorry about AF!

Calgal- the vacation sounds great! I have always wanted to go smile.gif

April- good luck waiting to o. I am on cycle day 47 and I think I am o'ing finally!!!

Well ladies it has been busy here. I am turing my rough draft research paper in tonight. Oh yeah and we bought a new PC (not here yet...)

My fingers are crossed and baby dust to all
Ginny

[32lbs&counting]

FIONA- AND JEN...FINGERS AND BABY DUST YOUR WAY. I WILL BE CHECKING IN TO SEE IN THE WEE HOURS HERE IT WILL BE EARLY FOR YOU...
ALSO IF YOUR LEVELS ARE NOT HIGH YOU MAY TRY AGAIN THE SAME DAY BUT LATER ON OR THE NEXT MORNING. THAT HAPPENED TO ME...EXPECAILLY IF AF DOESN'T REAR HER HEAD.

[tringinjune]

Nothing new to report here, doing my best to talk AF into staying with me and not visiting Jenn and Fiona. I’m also trying to decide whether to make an appointment with a fertility clinic to get some basic tests done (SA and whatever) or to wait another couple of cycles. But if we wait, then it will be the holiday season, and everything will be shut, so it’s either now or in January. Sigh... desicions, desicions...

Calgal - wow Australia! I’ve always wanted to go there. I’m sure the auction was exciting!

Elmirady - so, did you O yet according to FF?

Fiona - I am so anxious for you, and hoping to be reading some good news here soon.

April - you’ve done Christmas shopping already?! I wish I had too, usually I buy gifts and stuff well in advance, but this year I’ve been too busy/preoccupied ”waiting” (for O or AF or the next day’s temp).

Ginny - hoping your draft for the research paper will be approved. And how neat you decided to get a new computer.

Jenn - your chart looks good. Ohh... I bet the HPT-testing and false positive was hard on your blod-pressure?! I know I would have fainted or something. Keeping fingers crossed for a real BFP in the days to come.

I’ll be checking in later today to see if we have some good news here, now I must get on with my work.

Babydust/O-dust,
June
http://circles2.fertilityfriend.com/home/27e69

[jenn42302]

GRRRRRR :mad: My temp took a HUGE nosedive this morning! Now, AF's not due until Friday and it ain't over until she shows, and I have had erratic sleep patterns/wake times, but GRRRRRR :mad: nonetheless!! Well, if that witch does show up here, I will forcibly restrain her, Fiona, and prevent her from making the trip down the Thruway to see you!!!!

Ginny ~ Good luck on your research paper! And I hope you enjoy your new PC -- though too bad it's not a Mac ;)

Lisa ~ Thanks for stopping in and for your well wishes. I hope AF stays away from Fiona and me too. But Fiona has been at TTC longer, so if AF has to come to anyone this month, I'd rather it be me. But then, that's it, NEXT month would be my month!!!!!!!! How's little Kaden doing (he's such a cutie!!)?

June ~ How ya holding up? I don't know, I'd wait until after the holidays maybe to do testing. It's a busy time of year that (and this is only my opinion) doesn't need the added stress of all that yucky testing. But if you do get it done now, I guess you'd be ahead of the game!!! Good luck with whatever you decide!!

Well, gotta go. Want to get into work early. Don't have motivation to stay late lately!! I'll be checking back later today to see how everyone else is doing (especially you Fiona)

O and babydust to all!!!

jenn smile.gif

[calgal]

Good morning, ladies. It's going to be another unseasonably warm day today - in the mid- to upper 70s, sun shining, etc. I love days like this - but in the spring. In the fall, I like it to be about 10-15 degrees cooler, with a nip in the air. But don't get me wrong - after the 2-3 feet of snow we had last year (which in D.C. means that no one can do ANYTHING for about a week - wimps...), I'll take warm weather.

DH was out of town on business yesterday and today - but he'll be back tonight. I have to say, this has been a record couple of weeks in terms of our not being in the same city at the same time. Unreal, actually. At least the Patriots won last night (in a real nail-biter), so my DH is extremely happy. He's also likely to kill me if the Patriots make it into the Super Bowl this year - Super Bowl tickets were another one of the auction items on Saturday night, but the bidding was around $2000 (obviously not including airfare or hotel). Too rich for my blood.

I have a funny work story to tell. News of promotions came out this week (I was not up for one), and within about 5 hours, a friend of mine from California who no longer works for my company sent me an e-mail asking if I was okay, and telling me the rumor mill had it that I had withdrawn my name from consideration. I find that kind of amusing - at least they're not saying I was passed over because I'm incompetent, but, hello - I was never UP for a promotion - how could I withdraw my name? :rolleyes:

Anyway, that's my life.

Jenn - sorry about the temp drop. I hopped out of bed both yesterday and this morning to turn off the alarm, before realizing I had to temp first. I don't think it affected the reading, but who really knows - my chart looks like a mountain range at this point with all the ups and downs. I hope AF doesn't visit you, but if she does, maybe we'll be Thanksgiving BFP buddies...

Fiona - I'm keeping my fingers, ankles, toes, everything crossed for you.

June - can't hurt to make the appointment for testing now. They might be backed up until after the holidays anyway. (Then again, I'm incredibly impatient and even though I've only been officially TTC since July, I feel like it's been forever.)

Ginny - good luck with the research paper!

Dune, Surfergirl, Elmirady, and everyone else: graemlins/wave.gif Hope all is well by you.

Have a great day!

[Fiona]

HI everyone

ever heard the expression that no news is good news. Well I guess that applies to me.

I did test this morning and it was a BFN. But still no AF. Talk about confused. I guess I will now just wait it out. I am going in for a beta test tomorrow afternoon anyway.

So at the moment I am having a big old pity party sorry.

Fiona :(

[elmirady]

Good morning ladies! Not much new going on here today. Just work and more work. I keep ignoring a rather large project I need to complete, hoping it will go away on its own, but it's still here! LOL.

Fiona - Did you test this morning? My fingers are crossed for you. I so hope this is your month! We were posting at the same time - No news is GOOD news! Many people get a false negative before their positive, don't sweat it! I just know it's your month!

Jenn - Like you said, it ain't over til the ole witch flies on in. Could the drop have been an implantation dip? Have you looked at some of the charts in FF for pregnancy? They are all over the place, so I say you're still in it!

April - I agree with you there should be some sort of test for the day after BDing so you know right away! Maybe we should invent one!

MrsA925 - What kind of PC did you buy?

Calgal - I agree with you the $2000 for tickets is a little too rich for my blood especially if it didn't include airfare or hotel.

June - FF does not say I've O'd yet and I am on cd15 so we'll just have to wait and see...part of that is I'm terrible with noticing the CM, but I'll learn as I go and just keep "practicing"!

Shellys - How are you feeling these days? I am still so excited for you! When are you going to start sharing the news with family and friends? I'm the type of person that's just gotta spill the beans!

A big Hello graemlins/wave.gif to anyone I may have missed. Baby and "O" Dust to all. AND AUNT FLO STAY AWAY FROM FIONA AND JENN RIGHT NOW!

[ November 04, 2003, 08:24 AM: Message edited by: elmirady ]

[MrsA925]

I think I am in the 2ww now. My temp shot up to 98.2!! It is so hard to hope it will happen month after month...

Fiona- Still Praying for you!

Jenn- Sorry about the temp dive.

June- It is hard to say about the SA and other tests. When we found out about DH MFI we were both pretty upset for about a month. I don't know if I would want that around the holidays. I think there is a lot of special babydust around the holidays.. maybe that is all you will need smile.gif

Calgirl- I laughed about your job gossip!! We have that here all the time. Funny how people just keep talking and talking

Hi Everyone !!!

Ginny

[aprilk]

Hi all. Still waiting to O, I think. Any of you experts want to look at my chart? My cycles have been 26-28 days, so I'd better O pretty soon.

Fiona~I hope it was just too soon to test and that you'll see a BFP soon. Fingers crossed for you.

Jenn~I hope AF stays far away from you as well. Maybe it was just an implantation dip?

Calgal~Can you send some of that unseasonably warm weather our direction? The high today is supposed to be 25. Brrr!

Elmirady~You're right about those tests. I think it would take a lot of stress out of the process.

Ginny~Fingers crossed for you. I hope you O'd & caught that eggie!

June~We're also trying to decide when to start testing. We picked up a home SA kit which just looks at the quantity, but not quality. I figured the $30 was cheaper than a visit to the doctors, even if it won't tell us everything. We're planning to start fertility testing in January, if needed. I figured we didn't need any added stress at the holidays.

Shellys~Thanks for checking in with us. How are you feeling?

Dune, Surfergirl, and everyone else~How are you?

April smile.gif

[Fiona]

Hi

Still nothing really new to report. I have to go in tomorrow and have the beta test done. DH (god bless his heart) called and talked to my Drs nurse this afternoon as he knew that I wouldn't be able to. Apparently the progesterone suppository could mean that AF won't show but they won't accept a definitive result asides from a blood test. So off I go.

But my pity party got worse this afternoon when DH and I talked as he picked me up from work. He got an email from one of his sisters (he has three) and guess what she was telling him. If you guess that she was pregnant then you win the jackpot. She already has 3 kids that social services are investigating. Problems in her marriage and mental problems. Dh had to break the news to his parents. They weren't impressed to say the least. In the past DH and I have mentioned that if social services want to take away her boys then we would consider adopting the youngest. If they have issues with the new one I would seriously consider adopting this one. But it really isn't the news I wanted to hear today. Apparently one of my other sil knew but decided not to talk about it saturday as she knew it would be sensitive topic for me (god bless her too).

Oh well consider this a little vent.

Fiona :confused:

[DuneRaiderette]

hi guys. just watned to pop in real quick-like and let you all know im still here. my aunt is in the hospital again, and not doing too well. she hada temp of 102, and couldnt keep water down. so they admitted her, and she is really down about being in the hospital so much. they are starting her chemo today or tomorrow. so, if im not around, its cuz im doing homework or at the hospital. take it easy!

[jenn42302]

Awwww, hugs to everyone this afternoon. We really need some good news around here.

I really, really hope everything goes well for you tomorrow, Fiona. When you say you are going for a beta test, does that mean a blood test for pregnancy??? I send you so many good vibes, and all the babydust, even my share. And that plain ol' SUCKS about the S-I-L. I swear, why is it that those who shouldn't have kids can???? :confused: :mad: I know you have sKids and I know you want your own, but being able to "rescue" a baby from a bad situation isn't so bad. My heart goes out to you. You really, really deserve a break and I hope you get one tomorrow.

Becki ~ I am so sorry to hear that your aunt isn't doing well. I hope she gets her temp down and that the chemo isn't too hard on her (and that it WORKS!!)

April ~ sorry I can't help you with your chart - I can barely interpret my own!! O-dust to you!!

Ginny ~ Babydust to you ~ let's hope those temps stay elevated!

Dyann ~ I've been trying to ignore the laege projects too, but they keep finding me!! I hope you scared AF away from Fiona and me with your stern warning LOL!

Calgal ~ Sorry that you were "withdrew your name from consideration" for that promotion!! Too funny!! And they are wimps in DC is 2-3 feet of snow shuts them down for a week. We were up and running in ONE DAY after getting SEVEN FEET a couple of years ago!! Such is living in Buffalo. But, living in Buffalo, I was not too happy seeing those Patriots win!! I will kill myself if the Patriots make it to the Superbowl -- I hate the pats and almost would rather see the Dolphins make it!! (sorry to your DH for that rant, but I'm a die-hard Bills fan!!)

Okie dokie, I'm gonna go home now. See you all tomorrow.

jenn smile.gif

[calgal]

Good morning again. Boy - sounds like everyone really needs a big hug. Time for some good vibes...

Absolutely nothing new to report here. It's closer to a fall day - drizzling and overcast, and about 10-15 degrees cooler than the past several days. Definitely a day that makes me not mind sitting at my desk as opposed to strolling outdoors.

The only problem is that people just can't drive in the rain here, either. A little drizzle brings out all the bad driving maneuvers. I saw 2 accidents (slightly more than fender-benders but not ambulance-type) within a 1-mile stretch of road, and the rest of the time was pretty much stop-and-go. And this is at 6:30 a.m.! Maybe people just need to drink their coffee BEFORE getting in their cars.

Anyway, I haven't heard anything else about myself at work, so I guess that's a good thing. graemlins/crazy.gif I'm not even going to talk about my temps or TTC because I can't figure out a thing, so it's just waiting and hoping AF doesn't show up.

Fiona - so sorry about your latest pity-party news. I'm sick and tired about hearing such stories, too (although most stories I hear are about total strangers, which is frustrating but not quite as bad). Your time will come - hoping it is this month.

Becki - sorry to hear about your aunt. For what it's worth, my aunt had breast cancer and chemo nearly 20 years ago, and she's fine now - so there's definitely hope.

April - wish I could help interpret your chart, but as someone else posted, I can't even interpret my own...

Ginny - oooh- temp spike - major baby dust to you!

Elmirady - I hear ya on the head-in-the-sand approach to work. I do the same thing sometimes. Good luck getting motivated to get it done.

Jenn - sorry about the temp stress. Like you said, though, it ain't over until the witch shows up. Fingers crossed for you.

Ok - now let's all think some positive thoughts, 'kay? graemlins/wave.gif

[Fiona]

Morning Everyone

Well I am feeling somewhat better today. Still no AF so that gives me some hope. I have my beta test (yes Jenn a blood test for pregnancy) this afternoon so I really hope for some good news.

Becki: I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt. Helps me put my small pathetic issues into perspective and I really needed that. I hope and pray that this is just a temporary hickup and that she recovers quickly.

Jenn: I hope AF stays away from you. And my DH won't mind if the Dolphins make the super bowl. He is a dolphins fan. Oh and what is it in the water in Buffalo (that is where my SIL lives) people there (between some of your bad stories and mine)seem to get pregnant by blinking.

Calgal: Its meant to be warm here today but they are forecasting snow showers on the weeekend. At least they can drive in the stuff here. Apparently in the Northeast if all the other airports get closed down the airport here remains open - even in a blizzard.

Well baby dust all round.

Fiona smile.gif

[elmirady]

Good morning ladies. Not much going on here. I've been temping and FF still has not said I o'd and I'm CD17. If someone could give me a clue as to how to post my chart, I'd post it for you all to take a look at. Sure sounds like we all need a bit of good news here! Hugs to all!

Fiona - My fingers and toes are crossed for you today sweetie. I just know this is your month!

Jenn - How ya holding up? Have you retested yet? When is AF due again?

Dune - You, your Aunt, and your family are in my prayers. And I can attest to the fact there are slight hiccups when dealing with the dreaded C word, but I'm here to tell you Remission can be achieved as my father did! We're thinking of you!

April/Calgal/MrsA925/June and anyone else I may have missed - graemlins/wave.gif How are you all doing?

Baby and O dust to all. And again I'll say it Aunt Flo stay away from Fiona and Jenn!

[aprilk]

Another cold & snowy day here. Nothing new to report. Looks like I may not have O'd at all this month, so I think I'm out of the running. :(

Fiona~Thinking of you today. I hope everything goes well.

Dune~I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt. My grandmother had ovarian cancer over thirty years ago and went through some bumps along the way, but has been in remission for thirty years now. I'll keep your aunt in my thoughts.

Elmirady~I'm on cd 18 and still waiting for FF to give me an O as well. Not sure what this means. I'm actually thinking of not temping next month since it's beginning to stress me out. graemlins/crazy.gif

Jenn~Fingers & toes crossed for you.

Calgal, Surfergirl, Ginny, and anyone else I've missed~How are you doing?

[jenn42302]

Hi girls,

Well, I don't know what to say, but there is a HPT in my house and I haven't retested!! Talk about patience on my part ;) My temps went up a little this morning, but not enough to excite me and run to test. I guess (unless my temps spike or something) I'll wait to see if AF is late before I test. I have one left and don't feel like buying more, so hopefully I can wait it out. I'm usually quite regular and AF comes every 28 days. So, today is CD26, so that means AF would be late on Saturday. Symptoms are vague, could be PMS, could be pg, the only "weird" thing is that I have felt like a cold has been coming on (but not actually developing) for almost 2 weeks. Who knows what that's about :rolleyes: I'm trying to keep this all in perspective, other people have things much worse.

calgal ~ Yeah, what is it with rain and bad drivers? I think people here have a harder time with the rain than the snow!!

Fiona ~ OOOHHHHH HEAPS & TONS OF BABYDUST TO YOU for a BFP on the blood test!!!!!!!!! No AF is good!!!! And I wish there was something in the water here in Buffalo with getting pregnant!! I guess I'm not drinking the right kind of water, maybe that water is only reserved for people with bad judgement/circumstances. And here, our airport stays open in blizzards, too -- in fact because we don't close we are the airport many airlines often divert to if you can't make it into NYC, Boston, etc.

Dyann ~ post a question in the VIP Questions section http://circles.FertilityFriend.com/Circles/viewforum.php?f=48 After I got a +OPK but FF didn't show me Oing, I posted a question there and someone went in and manually put in a coverline!! (If AF shows, I will actually pay for the VIP membership, $10 a month to save my sanity -- SOOOO worth it!!) And, I hope AF listens to you!!!

april ~ Have you been using OPKs? I still really rely on those to tell me I've Oed, I like FF because it gives me an idea about what's happening the rest of the month. O-dust to you!!!!

HI to everyone else graemlins/wave.gif Fiona, keep us posted and ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*BABYDUST*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ok gals, I figured out how to post a link to my chart. Here it is. Let me know what ya think. I'm so very new at this! Thanks!

http://circles2.fertilityfriend.com/home/33da8

[Fiona]

Dyann

I looked at your chart and I would agree with FF I don't think you have O'd yet. But you might be getting close. My temps tended to level out just before Oing. Have you been taking your temp at the same time every day after 3 hours sleep?

Good luck.

Fiona

[SurferGirl]

And now I'm back, from outerspace....

Not really, just Vienna. It was a great trip. I saw some really cool stuff, ate good food, and got to play with the kiddies. I was visiting a friend who have moved there a year ago. She and her DH have a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old. They wore me out! I think my kids will be spaced a bit farther apart. They were so cute tho!

On a slightly weird/gross note, you know how you can lose 8 pounds in 2 weeks? Get sick! That's right, all you need to do is get the flu and throw up everything you'd ever thought about eating in your entire life. After that your abs, lower back, arms, and legs will be so sore and tired you won't be able to sit up straight and take in liquid. And when you do take in liquid it can only be in the form of Sprite or broth. And then, just when you think you're getting better and are able to eat solid foods again you get put next to some jerk on the plane who coughs all over you and makes you sick yet again! Then when the plane lands you will have a temp of 102 that doesn't break for 2 days.

Yes, that was me. This is my first day back in the office. I did get sick in Vienna over a weekend, then was fine for a week, and then get a temp on the plane. I still have no voice, but at least I'm actually hungry! My throat has been so sore that only liquids would go down without a teeth grinding fight. Today I'm eating Indian food. YUM. And my color is finally coming back.

On a good note I got to see Dr. Phil and an update on all the people doing the Ultimate Weightloss Challenge. I was so impressed with how well they're doing. I was disappointed that they didn't talk about how important exercise is to losing weight and keeping it off. All he talked about was portion control and eating high response foods. Do you think they'll talk about exercise in a later show?

Fiona - I am holding my breath waiting for your post this afternoon! I hope! I hope!

Umm, I've got to get into a meeting. Hopefully I'll be back in later to post more personals.

[MrsA925]

Hi

Fiona- My fingers are crossed.

I have meetings all day but wanted to check in...

HI EVERYONE !!!!


Ginny

[shellys]

Surfergirl- wow 8 lbs!! Im so sorry you were so sick! I did see on Dr Phil that the next weightloss show will include exercise(I was thinking similar thoughts myself until I saw the commercial!)

Jenn and Fiona- Im pulling for you two! Jenn I loved the comment about only ones with poor judgement gets the "water" LOL!!

Elmirady- I agree with Fiona about your chart. Maybe you dont normally "O" until the 19 th day or so of your cycle. Which you may get to BD right on time this month!!!

Ginny- how are you doing?

I hope everyone is good. Nothing new here. I have another appt. next Tuesday to have an Ultra Screen to see if the baby has any defects. Honestly Im only going because its another ultra sound to keep me sane!! The past 2 weeks have seemed like forever to wait for another appt!

[elmirady]

Fiona - Yes, I take my temp same time every day except for the one on CD14 as that one was an hour earlier than usual and it is lower than the others right around it. Thanks for taking a look. So my temp will go up with ovulation correct? When do you go for your blood test today? When will you get the results from it?

Surfergirl - man that's a heck of a way to lose 8 pounds. I lost 12 in one week a long time ago by having 2 root canals, on opposite sides of my mouth! Hope your feeling better. Your trip sounds wonderful!

MrsA925 - Have you O'd yet?

[Fiona]

Well they drew blood just after 1pm. DH should have the results by now. But I have told him I don't want to know until I get home. Only an 1hr and 20 minutes to go. We did talk to the doctor about what to do next cycle if this one is a bust.

Ginny: How are you going?

Surfergirl: What a way to lose. I don't want to try that. And I just love Vienna when I was there 9 years ago.

SHelly: I am so excited for you a good ultrasound. Make sure you pos some pictures.

Dyann: YOu will either have a slow continuous rise or a big jump. And I think that if I remember correctly if you wake a hour early you can adjust your temp by adding .2 to it. We will have to watch over the next few days.

Fiona smile.gif

[MrsA925]

I love you guys!! This is the only place I can really talk about how exciting it is to ovulate smile.gif

It seems I did ovulate. I need to see tomorrows temp to have a better idea. I really hope this is it. If not we are on to Clomid/Metformin to see if that can do it. I am not ready for IVF yet even though the doctors think that is the only hope with DH male factor IF...

Fiona-- GOOD GOD HOW ARE YOU STANDING IT.... And what a DH to get the results for you. My DH would be scared to death to tell me either way. I always yell at him to make sure he really listened to the nurse...

Elmirady- I looked at your chart and I think your O should be coming soon. You can look at other people's charts on FF. Look under pre o dip and you might see a lot that look like yours so far.

Surfer Girl-- Sorry about the flu but glad you had fun on the trip. I am a freak in planes. I hate when people even breath on me or touch my shoulder...

Shelly- Thanks for stopping by. How are you feeling? I hope things are going well.

Got to go back to work smile.gif

Ginny

[elmirady]

Fiona: I am on pins and needles here for you. My DH hyperventilated when I told him we were pregnant with our first...I could never trust him to take the news and give it to me sanely, LOL. What a sweet DH you have! Keep us posted and my fingers and toes are still crossed for you!

Ginny - Thanks for taking a peak at my chart so far. i think I'm starting to feel little twinges, so maybe I'm gearing up to ovulate. I have looked at the charts on FF and some look similar and others look whacked to me! OH well. Great news that you O'd!

Fiona~I just had to check in to see if you knew anything yet. I've got fingers, toes, and everything else crossed for you! :D

[jenn42302]

Fiona, oh Fiona? Any word yet?? I'm DYING over here!!! (Yea, like you're NOT!!!)

Last-minute babydust!!!!!

jenn smile.gif

[Fiona]

Well my official comment for today - Life Stinks (ok so that is the edited version)

I have just had the long distance cry with my mum and feel a little better.

So now I have to wait for AF to show. And then move onto next month. Hey an August baby can't be that bad right.

Thanks for all the support over the past couple of days. It has helped me get through some bad times.

Fiona :(

[elmirady]

Aww Fiona Hugs to you. August babies are cool too! We'll all just take over the preggie thread next cycle together!

[aprilk]

****{Fiona}}} Many hugs. I'm so sorry. I think Elmirady is right, we'll all be taking over the preggie thread next month with a bunch of August babies!

[DuneRaiderette]

hola chicas. actually, im learning russian. smile.gif i work with five ukranians who dont speak much english, and they are teaching me russian. kewl. well, auntie is starting chemo today. they decided her nausea was from the cancer, so they want to start asap. she was able to eat half a popsicle, some water and some nonfat milk yesterday and it all stayed down. i wish i could be there today, but i have my chem lab tonight, and i havent even looked at the chapter. so i have to stay home and cram.

fiona~~im so sorry bout your bfn! **********{HUGS}}}}}} august is a good baby month, and i will be right behind you all with an october or november baby!

jenn~~we got it all riding on you now, no pressure! and what is this i hear about you have a hpt in the house, and not using it? you must be at work...lol

calgal~~thaks for the positivity (and to everyone who is keeping my family in their thoughts/prayers)! we (my mom and i) know in our hearts my aunt is going to be ok. its just getting throught the hard parts (like this one).

elmirady~~oh, thank you for reminding me about your father! that helps! how is he doing?

april~~thak you too, for putting things into perspective! my mom figures, ok, 25% of women who get o.c. live. she knows of five who have had it and died, so my aunt has to be in that 25%. we just know she is going to be ok. but thank you still!! it makes me feel warm, like someone hugged me. smile.gif

surgergirl~~glad you have a good time! sorry you caught a bug. another quick way to lose weight is to get somekind of virus in your mouth, then get a bacterial infection on top of it. you wont be able to eat anything but milkshakes and soup for two weeks. just make sure you are old enough to appreciate the weight loss...i was only 12. :rolleyes:

shelly~~nice to see you again! im glad everything is so far so good!

hi to everyone i missed, i gotta go cram for chem. babdy and o dust!

[shellys]

**************{Big HUGS}}}}}}} Fiona. An august bay sounds wonderful.

[tringinjune]

Fiona ******{hugs}}}} I'm thinking of you.

June

[calgal]

Hi, ladies,

It's gonna be a jam-packed day today so don't have much time to post. Absolutely nothing new for me on the TTC front - just waiting and hoping AF doesn't show (due anywhere between tomorrow and Tuesday - last mo's cycle was around 3 days shorter than normal, so who knows). I'm not going to get too down about it, though.

Fiona - BIG hugs to you. Let's hear it for the August babies!

Everyone else - gotta run, but graemlins/wave.gif

[SurferGirl]

Awe Fiona. Big hugs to you. Next month will be better. And August is a great time to have a baby. After all, my birthday is in August. :D

I'm still coughing, but at least my throat isn't really sore anymore. I'm drinking lots and lots of tea. It times like these when I'm accutely aware that work is very tiring. I've also been suffering from horsie withdrawl. I did actually buy a new horse - the one I was leasing. His name is Hawthorne. He's such a pretty boy. A bit of a freak sometimes, but still a good boy. But since I've been out of the country and then sick I haven't been able to ride him! This weekend maybe.

Jenn - So how are things looking for you? Are you charting on Fertility Friend?

Calgal - Can you believe this rain? It's better than snow - I'm hoping for very little snow this year.

Dune - Hola Chica. I'm thinking about learning Czech, which is similar to Russian. I think it's really cool that your are learning a language that is so complex.

Shellys - The u/s must have been amazing! Picts?

June - How are you doing? Are you formulating the plan for this cycle?

Elmirady - Good to hear that things are going well for you.

I always thought it would be fun to get pregnant in November so that I would have a holiday to tell DH or the Grandparents on. So with that in mind....Baby Dust to ALL!!

[MrsA925]

Fiona-- HUGS!!! August Babies are great! DH is an August baby. I will never forget the cycle I was sure I was pregnant I planned out how great the baby's birthday would be and everything. Now when I hear people are due at that time I cringe...

We are hear for you!!

Hope everyone is doing well today. I had to mess with my chart a bit to get a coverline to show up. Sometimes I hate FF. Anyway I don't think this will be the cycle for me. My temps are really low so far and since the o' was so late in the cycle... Anyway it isn't over till it's over but if it is going to be a bust I hope it will hurry up!!

Ginny

[elmirady]

Good morning ladies. Not much going on here, just waiting to "O". I've felt some twinges that could be greaing up to "O" and DH has Friday thru Monday off so that should be prime BDing time ;)

Fiona - Hugs to you my dear. We are here for you if you need to talk, vent, etc! I truly believe that November is the month a bunch of us will be moving on over to the preggie thread!

Jenn - Have you broken down and tested yet. If not, where is the Jenn we know and what have you done with her! LOL

Hi to everyone else, I've gotta get moving here at work!

Here's my chart in case anyone has time to take a peek. http://circles2.fertilityfriend.com/home/33da8

Baby and O dust to all!

[jenn42302]

Hi girls,

Fiona, I am so, so, so very sorry. **************{HUGS}}}}}}}} I wish it had turned out the way you hoped. But you're right, an August baby would be cool. I actually only know one person born in August (besides my cyber buddies, of course ;) ) And I have a feeling I will be joining you in August. This just doesn't feel like my month. No, AF didn't show yet, but it just doesn't feel right. And no, Dyann, I didn't disappoint -- I DID take the HPT this morning and it was a BFN (I didn't note this on FF, too depressing to see it on the chart). Speaking of charts, here it is: http://circles2.fertilityfriend.com/home/3331f

Now, I have to either wait for AF to come and not buy any HPTs (obviously) or if she's late buy them and take them when you are supposed to take them -- when you are late!!

Quick personals, I shouldn't even be here right now with all the work I have, but I just had to find out about Fiona.

Shellys ~ I'm sure all is fine with the peanut. The cyber-aunties can't wait to see the u/s pics. And how are you feeling? Do you FEEL pg yet? I hope m/s stays away from you though.

Ginny ~ I hope you Oed and that you catch the eggie!!

SurferGirl ~ I hope you get back riding soon!!

calgal ~ I hear you about the busy thing. ANd I hope that witch STAYS AWAY FROM YOU!!!!!

Becki ~ cool about learning Russian. And I hope your aunt is doing OK.

I really should get back to work. Hi to everyone else!! graemlins/wave.gif Let's think, it's almost the weekend, yeah!!!!!!

O and babydust ~~

[Fiona]

Hi everyone

Well I am still feeling a little down but I will slowly get over it. I guess I have worked out that if I hadn't gotten the news about my SIL then the disappointment this month would have been easier to take. But it wasn't meant to be so I have to move on. Although I will admit that thanksgiving could be interesting to say the least.

But after speaking to my MUM and my other SIL I started to think about the good things. Ok so my list might be a little off but good things are important such as my medicine going down (and it will be down even further by the time our next attempt rolls around), its november 6th and we still haven't put on the furnace, I am still wearing sandals to work (ok so that is the Australian coming out in me) and another good thing. ALL OF YOU. The best support ever.

Becki - I hope your Aunts Chemo goes ok. I think I have mentioned this before, my mum is an ovarian cancer surviour. So far 8 years and counting.

Calgal: I hope AF leaves you alone this month.

Surfergirl: Hope that you get to spend some time with your horse this weekend. I plan on spending some quality time with Leo (my puppy) this weekend. He has actually been a real comfort to me.

Ginny: Fingers crossed that this won't be a bust for you.

Dyann: Get BD. Remember mass invasion with August babies. Plus a big CNY/WNY baby shower next summer.

Jenn: SOrry about the BFN this morning. Maybe it is still too early to tell. But having looked at your chart - you are lucky you have a nice long LP. YOu can have a loan of all my baby dust Until I need it later this month.

HI to everyone else.

Fiona smile.gif

[aprilk]

Just a quick check-in today. Cd 19 and I'm still waiting to see if FF will give me an O or coverline. Trying to not get overly frustrated with it, but I'm thinking of taking a month off from OPK's and temping next month (if needed of course). Of course I'll probably be stressed then from not doing anything. ;)

Calgal~Hope af stays far away from you.

Jenn~Sorry about the bfn, but there's always hope until the ol' witch shows.

Surfergirl~Glad you're feeling better. What kind of horse do you have?

Elmirady~Did FF give you an O or coverline yet?

Ginny~Hope you caught that eggie!

Fiona~Sandals still? We have had 20 degrees as the high the last couple of days. You're right about these gals being a wonderful support. Next month we're all going to the preggie thread together to continue that support.

Dune~I'm so glad your aunt is feeling better. She's still in my thoughts. How wonderful to learn a new language.

June~How are you doing?

April smile.gif

[shellys]

Hey Buddies! Im sorry jenn and Fiona about the BFNs I bet next month we are gonna see soo many BFPs its gonna be one big party!! graemlins/crazy.gif


Becki- I hope your Aunt is doing better{{Hugs}}

Elmirady- your chart looks good but no "O" yet!! I bet your "O"ing alittle late and your gonna catch that eggie!!

Ginny, surfergirl, June, April- I hope you are all doing terrific!

[DuneRaiderette]

hi guys. well, auntie had chemo yesterday, and went into anaphalactic (sp???) shock...basically, the stuff the actual drugs are carried into the body is petroleum based synthetic vegetable oil. sounds nasty, huh? well, the gave her too much at once, and it sent her into shock. she almost died. but, they got her out of it, and today when we went to see her, she was doing 100 times better. she even started knitting a little. she had eaten twice, but couldnt eat dinner. then, she started puking again (sorry so graphic...i gott a get it out though, its like therapy). so, we will see. i still think she is doing better on the whole. well, i have tons of studying to do. baby dust!

[jenn42302]

Yup. AF's on her way. I'm spotting, my temps have taken a nosedive, all the classic signs. So who's next to take the babydust, april? calgal? On to August babies!!! (Actually an August baby does sound really :cool: An August baby would be 4 months old around Christmas, maybe a little aware of everything going on!!)

This is the most disappointed I've been, but I'm trying to find some positives from this whole thing. One is this was my first month charting, and while frustrating, it's taught me a lot. I know when stuff is happening to my body. I know that I O. I know that I have a nice, long LP. I also look back and know that we need to do more BDing!! (DH is so cute, when I told him this, he said, the cell phone's on, you call me, no matter what when it's "time" and he'll gladly "respond"!) I also know, like Fiona, that I have an AWESOME group of friends here, that I never would have gotten to know if this hadn't taken a while. And lastly, I think this is taking so long as a "test" from the man upstairs. I honestly was on the fence about wanting a baby before. I knew DH did, and I figured maybe once I "got through a pregnancy" I'd develop more "maternal feelings." All of this makes me know that I want to be a mom, I want to have a baby, not just I want to have a baby for DH. DH and I keep saying, if this doesn't work, we will adopt and we'll raise a child, and we will, but at the very beginning of TTC I was very selfish and scared by pregnancy and thought, hey, adoption would be perfect! Get a kid without the labor! Now, while I would be SO grateful to adopt a baby if I had to, especially one who doesn't have a family of his/her own, I really, really want a biological child. Maybe this was you-know-who's way of making sure I was ready to be a parent. Unfortunately, I think He needs to employ this test more often -- if you know what I mean ;)

Wow, this got long, sorry I guess I needed the vent, sorry you guys are like free therapy and save my poor DH from even getting more of this!!! I hope no one else needs to, but feel free to get it all out here because I think knowing that others may have similar emotions makes me at least feel like I'm not so graemlins/crazy.gif (at least about TTC!!)

Well, from this point on it's a new month. No more moping for me (I was such a sourpuss yesterday). It's a beautiful (yet cold!!) sunny day here, it's almost the weekend. What more can I say, I guess I'm putting on my happy face!

Take care, O and babydust!!!!

jenn smile.gif

[calgal]

Good morning, ladies. Another full day at work for me, I fear, but of course I have to check in with my buddies.

I'm feeling some signs that could be pre-AF. With my cold and constant travel in mid- to late-October, my temps were so high and the temping times so erratic during the early part of the month that even though I'm still temping, I can't tell whether my temps now are "high" (signifying an O) or just normal, and I really, really can't tell when I might have O'd. Oh well. I guess I'll just wait and see.

When I was out of town last month, I went to visit some friends from law school and my previous job. The one from my old job had been out of town, so I left her a business card. Well, she called me back yesterday, and guess what - yep, she's pregnant. (Is EVERYONE out there pg??) She said it took them 4 months, and the first 3 she did the temping, OPKs, etc. Finally, the 4th month, as she put it, "we just started f****** all the time - like every other day for 3 weeks" - and that worked. She was so funny - she said her DH would complain about it being in like the 2d inning of a baseball game, so she would tell him that's ok, keep the tv on - do whatever you need to, but just get over here. smile.gif (TMI, perhaps, but I was so relieved to know that it's sometimes not "romantic" or "magical" for other couples, either.)

So, I've decided we just ALL need to BD much often - not just during the 3-4 days we think it will "count". I told DH he better rest up. smile.gif

And finally, I have a scale-victory - now that DH and I have almost entirely cut restaurants out of our normal routine (since around July), I've lost 5 lbs. I can see the 120s from here, for the first time since I was 16. smile.gif

Dune - so sorry your aunt had an allergic reaction to the chemo. At least now they know what they should give her...

Jenn - stupid witch! Definitely take your DH up on his offer.

Everyone else - hope you have a great Friday and weekend!

[ November 07, 2003, 07:33 AM: Message edited by: calgal ]

[elmirady]

Good Morning Ladies! The sun is out, but chilly. I forgot what the sun looks like, LOL.

Jenn - Sorry the ole witch is on her way! I've decided that if this is NOT my month (and we have at least 2-3 weeks yet to tell) that I will go to the tanning salon as a pick me up! Just gear up for the preggie thread invasion!

Fiona - How are you doing today? I really really tried to tell AF to stay away from you (and Jenn) but she must be freakin' deaf or something!

Dune - So glad they got a handle on your Aunt's shock...that can be scary! My father had many little bumps in his road, and still has them, but as time goes by, we just deal with each one as they come along...we look at his cancer as something like diabetes or high blood pressure...he will have it his whole life, but we are maintaining it with treatments, drugs, etc. Hugs to you!

Calgal - You cracked me up! My DH said he doesn't want me "milking" him, however, he is off the next 4 days and according to FF I'm "probably fertile" so we'll see!

April - We must be cycle buddies because I am on CD19 too. Nope, FF has not given me O or a cover line, although it does say "probably fertile" right now. So DH is home the next 4 days and he's going to be busy! ;) tongue.gif

Shellys - How are you feeling? Have you guys bought any baby stuff yet, or started to share your wonderful news?

A big howdy to anyone I may have missed this morning! Baby and "O" Dust to all and Aunt Flo, leave us all ALONE

[aprilk]

Good morning all. Well FF finally said I O'd (four days ago). Guess I'm just not patient enough. Although it's given me a dotted line and I'm not sure what the heck that means.

Shellys~Thanks for checking in with us. How are you feeling? When is your next appointment?

Dune~Sorry to hear about your aunt, but I'm so glad she's doing better.

Jenn~Darn that af, we all told her to stay away from you and Fiona! I really liked your dh's comment, I think I'll have to try that with my dh.

Calgal~I hope af stays far away from you. Thanks for sharing your friend's comment. I often feel like ttc is sooo unromantic, so I'm glad to hear that other people go through that too.

Fiona~Enjoy the bd fest. I'm sure you'll see an O & coverline from FF very soon.

June, Surfergirl, Ginny, and anyone else I've missed~Hope you're doing well.

April smile.gif

[Fiona]

Hi everyone

Yeah its finally Friday. This week has seemed like the longest week ever. What with all the waiting and then all the disappointment that followed. I am glad it is the weekend and I can just potter.

You realise we spend two weeks every month hoping like crazy that AF would stay away. (and yet she never does). Well why is it that when she is meant to come she won't. Now that I know this isn't my month I just wish she would hurry up and get here. I want to move on.

Becki: I am so sorry to hear about you Aunt. I really hope that she gets over this and has a successful treatment. She will be in my thoughts.

April: Don't even talk to me about 20s unless you mean celcius. UGH. They are forecasting record snowfall here this year. How is the BD fest going?

Shelly: DOn't worry we will be joining you soon ok.

Jenn: (((HUGS))) I am sorry that AF showed for you this month as well. Why can't she just get the hint and stay away. And I understand how you feel about adopting (I recall us talking about that) and I understand how you feel about wanting a biological child. I am sure that it will happend to both of us when we least expect it to. Maybe we will get some early christmas presents this year in the form of BFP.

Calgal: Congrats on your loss. And have fun with the more frequent BD. But remember AF hasn't shown yet so don't think this month is over.

Dyann: Thank you for making me laugh today. I have to admit she must be deaf and when she finally makes it here I will yell at her (I guess unfortunately she wanted to visit Jenn up the thruway before she came here). Hope you and your DH have a successful weekend.

April: A dotted line in FF means that they think that is when you O'd but there are conflicting signals (ie Fertile CM indicated after the date of O). I just peaked at your chart if you take out the EWCM indicator on day 19 I bet you get a solid red line. Hope this helps.

Well baby dust to all.

Fiona smile.gif

[aprilk]

Thanks, Fiona. I did take out the EWCM and it gave me a solid line instead of the dotted. :D

[Fiona]

Glad I could help April.

Ok just an update. Well she finally showed and have scheduled the ultrasound for this month. Its on the 18th so about the beginning of december I go on my rollercoster ride of emotions again.

Fiona smile.gif

[MrsA925]

Well I am four days post o now. We had BD covered and NO it was not at all romantic the last few days at all.

Ugh I will be back.. boss is yelling

Ginny
