Hey ladies...happy hump day!! How's everyone's week going so far? My bff sent me some of her ultrasound pics today and I swear my uterus contracted...lol. I have such baby envy. I keep calculating things based on when I'd possibly have the baby I'll conceive next cycle...crazy aren't I? Like will I get to fly home in July? Hmmm....probably not since I'll be around 36 weeks along...lol...I'm such a planner and I want this so much!! I think I'm really and truly ready to be pregnant next month especially given that my benefits have finally kicked in at my new job .

So that's what's up with me so far this week...let me hear how everyone else is doing

[lavatea]

Ha ha, I know exactly what you mean about planning, FairyMe. I think I do it every month.

I'm gearing up to O soon - I'm CD 13 today. Thought I might actually O on CD 14 this time, but it's looking less likely. Anyway, I'm hoping to squeeze in BDing every day until a few days after O. So that should be lots of fun. By this time next week I should be in the dreaded TWW.

I sooooo envy you...I don't O till around CD 27...I have over 2 weeks to go. I hope we overload November with BFPs

Oh, FairyMe, that really, really stinks. I thought CD 17 was bad (that's the norm for me, though I do occasionally get lucky and O earlier). Do you have a 14 day LP after that?

I wish...my lp ranges from 14-17 days.... I can't win!! I have 39-90 day cycles, don't O till almost CD 30 and my lp is never shorter than 14 days...sigh...see what I'm working with over here?

[lavatea]

90!! I'd cry...a lot. I'm hoping this cycle is it for you!!

LoL...I have, believe me I have, and on top of it DP isn't up for the every day or even the every other day during my fertile time so we may BD once at the most twice around O time and I have to pray that it does the trick.

oh fairy, you DO need to get pg this month! You poor thing. *hugs* mama! That's just rough.

I don't know what's in the air, but my kiddos are just MEAN this week. *sigh*

And i totally do the planning too. I have a lifetime VIP membership to FF, and it really gets me into trouble with the obsessing sometimes. lol!

[Mohawk Mamma]

Yes, ladies, i've got the planning bug too. like "oh, if i get my BFP before thanksgiving we can share it at the dinner table when everyone says what they're thankful for!" but i'm on CD #9, so that's probably not realistic. or maybe it is, idk.

My week has sucked. I had to put my Boxer to sleep yesterday. She was 10 years old. i got her for my 17th birthday. She had a spindle cell tumor growing on her spine, its alot like an octopus, it has tendrils that come off the main mass & work through muscles, destroying & atrofying them. That dog was the only constant thing in my life the last 10 years. i made alot of bad choices, Gilda went through a divorce with me, we moved alot, she lived in texas with me for 3 years, came back to Oregon, we got married & she was there through it ALL. But she was suffering & it was time. here's a link to a celebration of her life: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...7&l=31e6319583

my mom thinks maybe now that Gilda's at peace, my body can work on TTC. 2 legged kids & 4 legged kids aren't the same, & its silly to say a baby would replace my lost dog. but maybe the joy of a new life will ease my heartache.

happy fairy dust this month to everyone, sorry for the tear-jerker story.
