[MrsMike]

Sorry - the last two days ended up being crazy and I couldn't get online. I'm in the process of checking the other thread and moving names over to the list. Sorry!

[I Need Coffee]

Hi! Can I join? My name is S and I have been TTC for a couple months now. One problem.....my cycles have been like 100 days long. No joke. I have had 1 period in the last 7 months!
So I started vitex today, we will see what happens. I AM PRAYING TO GOD that it works for me.

So I guess you can put me under, "WTF is going on!" Because I have no idea, lol.

[sleepingbeauty]

Thanks for the new thread!

[Stevi]

Gotta love a shiny, new thread!!

Everybody think Fertile Thoughts!!!

[karmab]

thanks mrs. mike. i might see if you want me to take the thread off your hands next. let me see what happens this week.

omg, ff actually gave me back the 1 point it took away from me for talking bad about it. i am not kidding. i started the day with 31, mouthed off and they dropped me to 30, now 4 hours later, they bumped me back to 31. fickle. how does ff have the time to mess with my points all day long? and i didnt do anything!

[Spinnerette]

Well, I'm pissed off. AF showed three days early, on 11 DPO. Honestly, this whole cycle I didn't think it was my turn, I'm just suddenly hit with this intense frustration. I want to be pregnant, I want a baby, I want to start our family and move on with the next stage of our life. We're so ready, and I feel like I'm stuck.

Anyone else having a glass of consolation wine tonight?

Welcome! I have added you. I hope you know WTF is going on soon.

A few threads ago I got all b!tchy about my crosshairs. I swear FF read what I wrote because it took my solid crosshairs, moved them and made them dotted. It's like a "Real Housewives of Fertility Friend" episode - with FF being that catty, backstabbing frenemy.

Okay - so everyone has been added and moved as needed.

AFM So, some utility company was doing emergency work on Saturday. Hit the DSL lines. I didn't have any DSL access on Saturday morning. We went camping overnight, where I also couldn't access the internet from my phone, grrr. Still no DSL when we came home yesterday. It was restored today. Thank goodness. Sorry I abandoned, y'all.
I moved myself to Waiting to O. We're not going to try this month, but we aren't going to avoid. I will be starting my new progesterone, which is a natural source and very low dose, a few days after O. I'm so nervous.

As for preggo points - they are evil. I had a cycle where I had 18 preggo points by CD4 when I was still rocking the Flow. I don't use the VIP unless I get a free trial and those stupid points piss me off.

I'm so sorry. I don't drink, but I do have a consolation iced coffee from DD when AF shows. I usually cut back when TTC, so it makes me feel better a teeny tiny bit.

[vivica2]

DTD and there was CM abound! so excited after my rant earlier about EPO making me crazy! its about time! lol


im off to hang upside down now.

[scarletjane]

everyone is killing me lately. especially karmab and this catfight you have going on with fertilifrenemy. let's see how many points you can get if you post about how much you love her, how nice her shiny hair is, how you know how hard her job must be keeping track of all of our cycles.

ineedcoffee, welcome! i hope you figure out what's going on with your cycle. let us know if we can help. do you chart? are you nursing, or have you recently lost weight? have you experienced amenorrhea before? it's always so frustrating to not know what's going on with your cycle. sorry you're dealing with that.

this thread has been fun lately. i have felt so jokey lately (i mean saucy). I think it's just that i went through several really intense months of heartache, grieving, sadness.. and i'm starting to feel light again. like the clouds are parting. my husband and i have been really jokey together lately too. it's almost like i'm having a hard time being serious, as if in compensation for all of the months of lacking that. does that make sense?

I just don't want to seem cavalier about the fact that it sucks to want to get pregnant and to not be. spinerette, i hear you. i'm ready too. i wish i was able to appreciate where i am right now- this portion of the path- but instead i want what's up ahead and for now out of reach. it's hard. living life in 2 week increments sucks.

mrsmike, welcome back and thanks for the new thread!

I agree with scarletjane...you should tell FF how pretty she looks in that outfit and maybe stroke her hair...girls love t when their hair is played with...it gives me good chills.


I'm getting the "obsess" bug...can you hear it flyin around? <zzzz....bbbbzzzzzzz>..darned thing! I want to test at barely hours away from being 5DPO. What...?

::::sprays Jen's bug with anti-obsessatandtestat5dpo spray and a spritz of nonobadjenniferadurhamdonopeeonanythingotherthanyo urtolietseatandifyoudothatpleasewipeitupthanks spray::::

Wow. My Firefox spell check just had a seizure...

[aon1974]

I am new too... Would you mind adding me to the Waiting to Test list? I am due to test on June 4 currently CD20 and 3 dpo... Time stands still in the TWW. We have been TTC since January and have a 19 month old DD.

I am booked in to see a natural preconception health specialist on Wednesday. DH and I will be pin cushions to find out the current state of our health. I am secretly hoping that all the tests will suddenly reveal a BFP but 1) I am not confident this month and 2) i will only be 4 dpo when they do the tests..

Please be a big BFP month. I love logging on and reading about people's BFPs.

Baby dust to all! Ant x
PS Does anyone know how to add your FF chart?

[lovebug]

THANKS for the new thread!!! i love new shinny threads!

i hope there are lots of BFP in this one!!!

i cant wait to re-join the TTC team!!!

AFM: AF showed up today. that is awesome news. if she keeps this timing we MIGHT hit getting PG on DHs R&R. it would hit perfect, so my fingers are crossed for that. it gives me something to look forward to!

BEST OF LUCK LADIES!!!!

[CLH_X3]

Welcome to all the new people !! GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks for the new thread!!

Might as well move me back to WAITING TO O ...
Iv started spotting today. I always spot now on 13+14 DPO and af arrives full force on what would be 15 dpo ...

I got CD 3 bloodwork on sat, what a pain in the bum that was to get since my docs dont take blood on a sat and I have to get it done on a sat! ... Going to a different clinic now and there post the blood results to my docs!

lovebug - YAY for AF showing !

Welcome!

On FF's nav bar, you go to Sharing > Home Page Setup, then you can make your chart(s) public. Once you make it public, it should say "Your Charting Home Page Web Address" at the top with the URL you can share.

Yay for finding a place for Saturday bloodwork! And good thing it wasn't for Sunday. I don't know what it's like for you there, but here you can't get anything done on a Sunday...or after 10PM...or on a public holiday...or... The other week, a lady next door chastised my husband for sanding our wooden lawn table on Sunday. Apparently, he was disturbing her peaceful Sunday afternoon. Ooops.

***

CD14 and I should be ovulating soon! Had a tiny bit of EWCM yesterday. I don't ever get so much (usually more watery). My temp was slightly higher this morning, but not a post-O temp. Besides, I don't trust the reading because I did not sleep well. Our 12-month-old is teething (molars!) and didn't want to sleep in his bed, so he was with us last night. He's a really wild sleeper and was continuously cannonballing me with his head all night.

But I still think O is soon because I was especially saucy last night, to use the word of the week.

[suzywan]

I call shenanigans on my temps! They're terrible - I go to sleep hot as h#ll and wake up (way too early) freezing. So, I stopped - an ugly chart was the only way I could do it

I have little hope this month, but will test anyway - then I'm out the next 2 cycles. Hope I can stick to my decision on that.....

Welcome. I have the same issue with super long cycles. Are you charting? I am also taking vitex. I did have a shorter cycle this time (28 days instead of 133), but it was anovulatory. I would like it to make me ovulate more often, not just bleed more often, lol.

[karmab]

welcome new people!

jennifer, put..the test.. down, and slowly walk away...no sudden movements..and everyone will be ok...

good to hear from you lovebug.
