What is your opinion about the abbreviations? Do we want to keep them on the first page or do they take up a lot of room? I think there is a link of abbreviations at the top of the ttc forum. I was just curious what you thought.
I noticed we have success in 3's. Well lets change that this month and have success in large numbers!
eta: I took out the abbreviations, however I can add them back at a moments notice if anyone wants em! |
Amy - Thanks for the new thread! I think you're right about the abbreviations. I never looked at them anyway.

I'm also 7 DPO and teaching the last week of the school year (with children, next week is cleanup and such without children there) so that is making me an impatient basket case as well. Every twinge and symptom I'm wondering "Is that implantation? Am I PMS'ing? Is this a side effect of stopping my medication?"
The one week wait is brutal. And I broke down today, 7 DPO, and took a test. About 3 days earlier than I planned to!

Lousli -
I am on antidepressants too, and I can't imagine weaning off of them. Recently, I've been considering increasing my dose. I imagine that I would have some jumpiness and anxiety if I were to wean off my meds, so you might be obsessing a little more this month b/c of that. I hope once you finish up school, you'll feel more like yourself.

Jessica - It is so nice to see how positive you are right now.
I wish some of your optimism would rub off on me! I will definitely be keeping my
for you!

Justthinkin- Speaking of abbreviations and such, what does "subbing" mean? I think I've seen that in other threads too, but I don't get it. Sorry about the long wait to see the PCP! Very frustrating! That would irritate me too. It is good that you are going ahead and getting everything scheduled.

Emotionally, I'm doing better. I think the final step in my recovery is getting the tattoo I've been planning on. That might be part of the closure I need. It's really important to me. Still trying to finalize my design, but I want to wait til we meet with the tattoo artist.
Is anyone else excited for the possibility of a spring baby?? I've had babies in March, April, & May, and just *love* that time of the year. May would have to be my favorite - it's finally warming up outside & everything is turning green - I just love it! |
Mollie -
I'm glad you're doing better. What are you going to get for your tattoo? I have 1 tattoo now, but I've thought about getting tattoos to honor my child(ren?). I just don't know what to get. I think I'll have to wait until Nate is older to determine what would symbolize him the most.
I do think a spring baby would be nice, which is honestly one of the reasons I feel like Feb might not be our due date. DS was due in late April and born on May 1 and it was perfect. It was a great time to be pregnant and it was nice to be able to go out and do things without bundling up and without worrying about flu. I keep feeling like I'll end up being due in March/April/May anyway. I guess we'll see!

just strange. I had a small bit of "something" I dunno even what it was. I had a temp drop, then it jumped up like crazy. I wiped yesterday and there was like a spot of blood on my to. I mean like a pin point. I wiped more thinking my period, and nothing. I bared down a bit and a little bit more. Then nothing. No more yesterday no more today. My temp is still high and I am 11dpo (my luteal phase is normally 11days)
It's just crazy. If it is my period, it needs to wait until Friday though.

Tulsileaf- I wouldn't worry much about one tiny little spot. Of course, I tend to spot a lot, so one tiny drop isn't much for me. Your high temp is still looking good... just keep waiting it out!

Not sure when I'll even O again, but I'm just going to wait until I start to see CM and then start the OPK's.. I guess. |
Andrea -
I can imagine how hard it was to continue with "life as normal" when it was everything but normal for you!
It would be really hard to put on a happy face for the kids when you're going through something like that. I hope that you're getting a little time to yourself to grieve.
AFM - I didn't temp this morning and it was so weird!
I still woke up around the same time and just laid there. I think my sleep is going to be total crap until I finish up a big project for work and get some more packing and stuff done at home. I've been feeling some anxiety creeping up on me and it sucks. I have a prescription for anxiety, but I won't take it during the 2ww. I haven't taken it the whole time I've been TTC anyway, but I've managed to keep anxiety at bay until recently. I'm just going to work on re-directing my energy (and my anxious thoughts) as much as possible.
Oh, DH's cousin's wife apparently had her baby last night!! She was supposed to have a home birth, but ended up with an "emergency" c-section due to a breech baby. I'm a litle confused about how they didn't know the baby was breech until last night (when I'm presuming she was in active labor), but I'll wait to get the details directly from her. Everyone else in the family thought she was crazy for wanting a home birth, and DH and I were the only ones who supported them. I'm afraid that now everyone is going to think that they were right about home births being dangerous.
Oh, and the baby is a girl and she was 8 lbs, 12 oz! Big girl!
It is such a wonderful blessing to have another baby in the family. I can't wait to find out what they named her!

March was my favorite month to have a baby out of my 4.
I don't know of any way to increase sex drive. I'm sure there are herbal supplements though. For me, eating well and exercise tends to boost my sex drive.
