post #321 of 437
Kindermama, what remedy did you take? I have had 3 migraines in the last week and they are driving me nutso. (sorry about :AF arrifing though! on to a new cycle!)

I haven't been on in ages, so don't know if I have caught up with everything- it seems as if AF has showed for a few ladies, which is a bummer.

Forgot who, but that is why I always try to get a last "hurrah" DTD in before I think AF will show, otherwise it seems like ages until we can DTD again. We don't during AF or spotting, not for religious reasons, but just because it has "ick" factor for me.

AFM: well, we did DTD w/o any protection this weekend, twice, DH didn't even ask if it was "safe" or not . . . and since I am leaving that in his hands, so to speak, we shall see. I don't think I have O'd yet, but think it will be sometime this week. so, depending, it may be within the realm of possiblility, especially if he keeps neglecting to use protection.

Not sure how I feel about a summer baby . . .at this point, and especially since I know there is only so much I can do to aid conception, I will be content whenever babe would arrive.

Our names our set, I think. Norah Lorraine for a girl and Theodore Edward for a boy (he would be called Theo for the most part) I have gotten some weird looks for Theodore, but I like it, and so does DH, and that is all that matters. My dad's name is Ted, not short for Theodore or anything, but his sister calls him Theodore jokingly sometimes. In a way it is honoring him, without being literal about it.

Love Brighton, BTW!

I am on . . .cd 21. Have had creamy CM the last few days, it is starting to edge on watery. I think.

Love the names! Though, I'm partial to Nora(h) as it's DD's name. Such a great name. I've gotten many, many compliments on it. And Theodore is adorable!

We don't dtd during either (for ick reasons) and since I had that UTI we're going on about 3 weeks here w/no DTD. GOING NUTS. I mean, yeah we do other things, but that's just not the same, lol.

try some homeopathic Catharis to get rid of your UTI

I took Belladonna but homeopathy is very individualized. Try this:

I ended up resolving it w/ACV and cranberry juice. Where were you the whole week I had it?!?

Ooh - and thanks for all the love for my DD!

BabyCakes, I love that pic. She looks so serious.

If I may obsess for a moment...

Well...I think I'm definitely in the running this month, ladies. Which freaks me out a little bit. Not getting zits or feeling bloated like I normally do in late luteal phase, no other signs of AF really, and my temp was quite high this morning. I'm peeing a lot and have some *ahem* desire, which ARE typical for me pre-AF. I'm 12 dpo today...AF usually shows on 12 or 13 dpo but can be as late as the morning of 14 dpo.

So I guess I'll just be waiting to see what my temp does the next two days and if AF shows.

My Chart.
post #331 of 437
mighty nice looking chart there, BS.

What's up with the open circles?
post #332 of 437
Carrie - cute pic

Mel - hope that you get the result you desire

AFM: I had some pink on my tp today and thought AF had started, which for me would be CD26. I usually start on CD29. But now it seems to have cleared up, only a tinge of brown on my tp.

I was actually happy about AF starting. I don't want to be PG. I thought I did at the beginning of the month because I was still mourning my loss. We DTD a lot during the middle of this cycle, so now I'm just hoping I didn't ovulate. At some point this week, I have to go and have my blood drawn for a quant HCG, so I'll definitely know then. For now I'm just that AF really shows up tomorrow.

OOOhhh BFS! Someone's chart looks a tad triphasic! I'm guessing the open circles are just later or earlier temps? Are they that far off from normal temp time? When do you plan on testing?

I usually temp at 4:45, so all the closed circles are within a half-hour of that. Right now I'm on vacation, so I'm temping closer to 6. The open circles are all consistent with each other, just not necessarily with the earlier ones...I'm basically temping now to see if they're dropping like they should at the end of the cycle, or not. And so far, obviously not.

BabyCakes, I'll test on Friday if AF hasn't shown. At that point I will already know. I don't have any tests with me so that's the earliest I can test anyway.

Ooooohhh, I hope this is it!

I'm trying to stay zen and then my dd told me she had a dream last night that little one is a girl. My niece texted me the other day that she dreamt she was at my birth. Well whatever the case, there are some vibes out there!

I understand. I hope AF shows for you.


AFM: Nothing really to report. Still having AF, although it's almost finished (earlier than usual! yay!). I won't be around quite so much for the next few days...we have a big holyday coming up and lots to do to prepare. We're also going camping this weekend.

On a side note, dh and I are in a REALLY good place now. I think I figured out how to make our relationship tick. It's like being in love all over again.
post #339 of 437
Wow I just realized I haven't been on here at all in three weeks at least, we just moved and are moving again but this time out of state... crazy. Anyway, did I miss anything big? New pregnancies or anything?
post #340 of 437
BFS- when are you going to test? oh, Friday, i see. I can't wait to hear!
not much to report here. dh too busy at work, afraid we may not have enough dtd to make this month interesting. temps kind of weird too. now that it has been more cycles trying than it took to get pg w/ds, i feel strangely adrift. on the other hand, a friend of mine got pg after a long time trying, when she was almost 40. so there's always hope. i love it when one of you guys gets pg, it is very encouraging. so get busy!
