Jenne

[Newbian Mama]

I've been following Katie34's story for the past couple of weeks. Congratulations to her and all the other mamas who have little ones in arms.

So we had two BFPs in February and none in March, is that correct? I have a feeling we will get quite a few BFPs this month! Come on little April babies

[Newbian Mama]

Question of the Week??

what is the best April fools Joke that you ever played or what played on you???

I've never played an April Fool's joke on anyone and never had one played on me, that I can remember. I think I'm a riot and I love fun pranks so I'm open to it.

[mclisa]

can I say how much I love your creative titles of the threads!

[Olerica]

Just a drive-by, saying hi. My DH and I have ended our quest. I hope you all happy and healthy pregnancies and babies in the near future!

[Laggie]

I would post but I think I'm still borking.

[Tear78]

lol....ok.....'ow menny beerz 'ave I 'ad? I cen't understend you ledeez! Thanks for cheering me up in the face of a late BOOOO hiss.

sanks for zee new sred!!!

ETA this a.m. - ok..wait...AAA! Did i breath too much campfire smoke last night, or weren't there several threads phonetically spelling in a French accent for Jenne's behalf last night? I didn't think I was THAT upset last night...and I was kidding about the beers. Mods, was there a glitch last night that you've fixed or am I officially off the TTC deep end?

[AmyPDX]

Please add me! I've been lurking for quite awhile, and had planned to officially start TTC this cycle. Last cycle was just too perfect, though (I tend to be a bit irregular or have long cycles, but have been doing all sorts of things--maca, accupuncture, diet and exercise--that seem to be helping) and DP and I took the leap. Sadly, AF arrived this morning. Onward to April! If this cycle is like my last, we may be doing an insemination on our 10th anniversary, which seems very apropos.

My chart's in my homepage. I'm 30. Anything else I should add to this intro?

Thanks, all, for the great support and info you've provided this lurker for the past few months. I hope to return the favor starting now.

[iheartmyfamily]

amy - welcome! good luck to you and to everyone else this cycle! we really do need some bfps. last month was so depressing and quiet! bring them on!!!

afm - cd 13. fourth high on my cbfm. my opks (2x a day) never did get as dark or darker than the control line and now there is no line at all. can't make sense of it. anyone???? still high today... hoping for a peak tomorrow so i can get this party started.

i ended the month a bit confused, it seemed like yes we had some but they did not asked to get moved and i let them come to me. So anyone that wants to be moved? please just ask, i never move folks before they ask unless they wander off to a DDC and forget to ask all together.

sounds like you need to start planning some!

thanks, for some reason i felt kinda flat creatively this month, glad it is still nice. i will work on updating colors and such when im on my home puter, i have 2 24inch screens i work on at home, so doing this on a laptop is a very very different experience.

Olerica, would you like to share with us where you and your DH got to and what you are doing to move forward with your life? i know it has been a long journey for you. Huge hugs and warm wishes in all of life!

Ok was that just the funniest thing ever?!! I love that MDC enjoys April fools day like that. Does anyone know if folks did that to themselves or how it happened to certain folks? i love the muppets and was in glee all day!

gotta love a forum with a sense of humor!

how are you doing Kiya? as one of the very few ladies that have been around here since i showd up, i think about you often. how is the spring treating you?


AFM- well i got crosshairs and i think they may be right, it has ben a little hard since i am in NY still. but thankful i have been here since CD8 and only started temping then, so i'm crossing my fingers that i milked a reliable chart out of the mayhem. With family all around dh and i only managed to dtd once in my fertile time before he left back to work. but my cm was good and that is a rare thing for me so i can always hope.
more likely since my lp is so clear i can now make plans for next cycle and medications. i o'd a tad early so i'm kinda bumping up against a weekend trip that i reallllly want to go on, so i'm going to maybe start my clomid as early as possible and do my best to fit it all in. i dont plan to leave till CD15 gone until CD18 so it could be dicey. This will be my first cycle with clomid & one injectable for estrogen support, so not sure if that affect my timing.

[Newbian Mama]

Olerica - Best of luck to you and your DH with whatever the future holds for you

Tear78 - Lol @ the beers. I'm actually thinking of popping an ice cold Corona tonight. Where's the yummy emoticon?

Yesterday was April Fool's day so lots of tricks here at MDC. There were a lot of threads and posts in the language of the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show. I didn't even notice the ones with the bad French accent!

Sorry AF showed up s Onward and forward, right?

B]AmyPDX[/B] - Welcome to MDC and to our lovely thread. Sounds like you're doing everything you can to increase your TTC chances. Sorry about AF this month s We'll send you lots of baby dust for your next cycle

iheartmyfamily - In my favorite TTC book, it says that OPKs should be considered a secondary fertility sign with cervical mucos the number one sign. How is your temp and cervical fluid? My cycle before last showed a clear positive OPK but my last cycle didn't and I definitely ovulated. In fact, that's how I missed my insemination; all other fertility signs lined up except that darn OPK.

JustKiya -

AFM - AF finally started today!!! I'm actually happy because she was so late, I was beginning to wonder if she would ever show up. I'm sure this will be the last time I'll be this happy to start a cycle.

Today I am getting back into my healthy habits. With the death of my aunt + free Starbuck's drinks + cheap Easter candy, I've really fallen off the wagon. I'm going to do my hour of aerobic exercise after I finish this post.

I'm going to do a treasure map this year and I'm putting a picture of a 2011 baby smack dab in the middle! Lol! Is anyone else doing a TM?

at your 2 24-inch monitors! My dream computer (as of today) is a 27" iMac but I think I need a bigger desk to hold the weight!

Did you see the April Fool's funnies at ThinkGeek.com? I think you'd appreciate their humor

It was completely random. I posted on another thread and it was converted into the Swedish Chef language but the other posts weren't. The thread entitled Thread Jail had every post like that!

It only takes once right? What CD are you on today?

[Blanca78]

Hi Everyone!
Welcome to the new ladies!
Hi Kiya, hope spring is treating you well.
Adorkable--yay for CM! You never know what may come of it...
Newbian--did you figure out what happened to AF? Did she show yet? Sorry if I missed a post on that. I'm not always--shall we say--"detail oriented."

Thanks to all of you who wrote with support for me in this torturous wait to TTC. It really is tough. Not so much for medical reasons, but I have baby fever so bad right now, but I also know deep down that if I were to get pregnant too soon I would probably end up blowing off finishing my grad degree, or at least not spend the energy on it I should. So it really is better to wait until at least this summer, but I feel soooo torn between my heart and my head.

If only there were a crystal ball that would tell me, "Yes, you will get pregnant with a healthy baby within X months," waiting would be a lot easier. As we all know, it's the uncertainty that's the killer. At any rate, I made it through another O and just two more to go...

Good luck to everyone this month!

[Newbian Mama]

Blanca78 - I feel you on the baby fever! Well I also have toddler fever and young child fever Your time will get here before you know it and then you can obsess with us

Thanks for asking about me . AF finally came today, 10 days past due. Originally, she was due to arrive on the around the 21st and that is the day my aunt died. I think all the stress that followed is what kept AF away (and screwed up my sleep habits as well). I've been having pre-AF symptoms for the past 10 days so I'm glad to finally get it over with.

If you find that crystal ball, please let me know!

[Tear78]

omg, I TOTALLY thought you ladies were joking around in a French accent for Jenne's benefit! What fun! Thanks MDC ladies!!!
