No ! Feeling a bit crampy right now. Not really af crampy though. More twingy like. Tender bbs. I'm not testing because I just can't handle it. I'd rather wait until it becomes clear. I've never had a 13 day lp so I'm beginning to allow myself to be hopeful again.

Baby Cakes so excited for you and your family! I hope this is the cycle for you!



My Chart is on free VIP!

FXed for you BHappy! I hope this is it for you!

I'm really optimistic going into this cycle. I allow myself to be super bummed when af comes but then I pretty much get over it and and am ready for a new cycle, a new chance. Every month we get to try is a month we have w/just DD, and a month we get to have fun trying.

I keep having these thoughts like, "I hope we conceive this cycle, the timing will be perfect!" This cycle especially. My BFF will be just over 4 months pg, which means I will most likely be able to travel to see her when her baby is born. My first tri will end on Christmas Day, which will make such a great announcement. And baby will be due right at the end of June, not too hot, not too cold.

Sigh. Nothing like getting your hopes up!!

I do the same thing...every month I'm not pregnant is another month to lose some weight! I only have 14lbs left to reach my goal. Of course I could easily take 10 of those off like I did in the past with morning sickness It could go either way and either way, I'll be happy! But...but...end of June is a great time to have my baby---we'll see!

Yeah. I thought I'd make it less stressful if I didn't temp after confirming O. The one day I broke that rule I ended up with a wacky low temp that freaked me out. So I put the thermo away.

I almost tested this afternoon when the family was out, but I only have one test so I want to use it once I'm fairly positive....like maybe Friday?!? We shall see!

The countdown to "test" day is a VIP feature on FF - not something you can just add

Good luck everyone! stalking this thread!!!

that's the VIP treatment ! Sometimes FF gives it for free for a limited time, like 5 days.

Ok, so I feel a little silly. I mainly use my iPhone to check email and take pics. Other than to Facebook, I don't know how to upload a pic here (theoretically, if I was to test sometime soon & post a pic heheheheh). Can someone tell me how? I don't want to upload a photo from iPhone to home computer, because dh would know and I haven't told him anything yet.

Do you have an account w/photobucket? You can take the pic w/your iphone, upload to photobucket and link from there to here.

You might have to put it on your home computer for a minute, but once it's on photobucket you could delete the file from your comp and just have it there. I think. Ha! I can't wait to seeeeeee!!


Oh - and so far in the past two weeks I've lost about 3 lbs and am back comfortably in my jeans! I've been kicking butt on the treadmill and really making fitness a priority. It really helps to have a goal to stick to, and something to obsess about other than pregnancy!

Dude, I have NEVER seen FF give someone VIP days at the right time. That's practically a miracle.

DH and I decided today that starting tomorrow, or maybe the next day, we're going to do the 30 day shred. And we can't do it at the same time together, so what we're going to do is set up "funds"- and every day one of us doesn't work out, we have to put $5 in the other person's fund, and then at the end of the month, you can use the money for whatever you want, guilt free (all our bank accounts are combined, so usually we're good about checking before making purchases). We'll see how it goes.

This month I'm feeling avoidant so far . I haven't even checked my chart since I think about day 3, and I'm pretty sure it's like 8 or 9 now, but I've lost track.

What a neat idea! That's motivation if I ever heard it. I know at the end my account would be empty and DH would have like $100 bucks - and he'd prob just spend it on more protein powder, lol!!

Guys, do you think my soy protein powder could be making me break out? I'm no expert on things like this, but I feel like ever since I started having protein shakes again, my face has been a disaster. Nothing else has really changed, except that it's been 6 months since I've been off hormonal bc, which might have been keeping my face clear. That's enough time for it to wear off an for my cystic acne to come back, probably, right? Ugh. I hate it.

Bhappy - c'mon, throw us a test! We need to see it! I've never seen VIP at a good time either. This is all kismet.

no test yet :)

ok, so i opened my flickr account, and i promise when i test i will upload it for you all. they also have an iphone app, so i can upload the pic from my phone. coolness.

i decided when i woke this morning not to test, just in case my O date was off for some reason. i just really want to be sure first. then i almost changed my mind. so the test is sitting in the bathroom, waiting...


jj, i was recommended to use rice protein. you could give that a try instead!

off to get ready for school. have a great day, lovelies!

BHappy I'm so excited for you. Can't wait to see your test

Kindermama I also like to find other things to obsess about. Especially diet, nutrition, etc. It's so nice to think about something other than TTC.

Baby_Cakes Congrats on your weight loss!

AFM - FINALLY started, for real. I'm on CD3 of real red flow, no brown spotting crapola. Still trying to keep up with you ladies until the end of the month at least!

JJ- read mercola's soy article. you'll probably never want to touch processed soy again. fermented soy is a-okay. Try Hemp protein powder, brown rice powder or whey powder for protein in shakes!

BHappy- oh my! You have some willpower there! I've been thinking about you and really hoping this is your month!

You have got some SERIOUS self control, woman! I'm both impressed and annoyed (lol) b/c I want to see some lineage!!

And I'll see if DH has any rice or pea protein around. He just might. Thanks for the ideas!!

ooh, exciting stuff on the horizon! BHappy looking forward to your test results! I am a POAS pansy myself.

Carrie, DH are in the same place I think, about being excited about a new one (even though our LO is only 10 months old!) He does ask DS how he'd feel about a little sister. (often) FX for you! it is so exciting, isn't it?

MMD: yay on :AF official arrival. stick around as long as you want!

AFM: I think I have O'd. I never remembered to temp so purely based on CM: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1b048d
I think our timing (though that was unintentional; we haven't discussed TTC or not really at all this cycle, which is strangely liberating) was excellent.

on a side note, we repainted our master bedroom this weekend and tried out DS being in his crib all night as a result. He STTN and has the last 4 nights. I love the uninterrupted sleep, but I sure to miss waking up with him. kinda sad, baby boy growing up! had to happen eventually though, I guess.
