Good Morning ladies... this was my first time with care of the thread so if you need to be moved or I just totally did something wrong, let me know!

Also, if you want me to add your chart (and we ALL would like to be able to obsess with you after all) just let me know by bolding it!

bonald: I moved you to waiting to KNOW even though you said waiting to O since you said 2dpo. Figured that was a typo since we're cycle buddies and all.

AFM: No crosshairs yet for me... I really hate having a slow rise. I KNOW that I O'd but I probably won't get my crosshairs for another 4 or 5 days because O doesn't like slow risers, lol. Oh well, I still put myself in the 2ww

Ooops! Thank you!

Looks like it's confused because you had such high temps on CD 10 and 11. I wonder if the disregarded temp is confusing it as well. Hm. Hopefully you'll get your crosshairs soon. I am pretty excited that we're cycle buddies again -- and Oed the exact same day!

AFM: 3 DPO today. BBs/nips tender/sore. BBs never tender this early. Forgot to mention that yesterday I had some major nausea late morning--early afternoon. Weird. It's too early to have symptoms from pregnancy so I am thinking maybe that since this was a pretty "major" O (tons of CM, O pains, etc) I experiencing symptoms from that? Trying not to think about it, but the tender BB's seem strange to me...

[Attached2Elijah]

Well, I took my temps twice both yesterday and today... Yesterday I took them once when I was freezing cold w/o a blanket on but it was my normal time and it was only 97.3, then I took it 2.5 hours later and it was 97.5... then today I took it WAYYYYY earlier then I normally do but after a good stretch of sleep and it was 97.7... then I had to move bedrooms for a few hours (DD was having trouble sleeping) and woke up and took it again and it was 97.4 so I'm not sure which ones I should use for either day. If I use the 97.5 and 97.7, I easily get my crosshairs... If I use any other combo, I don't get my crosshairs so I don't know, I think I'll use the ones that give it to me since I'm 99.9% sure I O'd already.

Ohhh if I take out all the 97.5 temps (which were actually questionable temps anyway thanks to DD) I get my crosshairs with the lower temps!

[Gator-mom]

Ok wrote this and then realized there was a new thread..thanks Attached2elijah!

Anyway..I'll just sum:

I was responding to Stevi about school..and the sum is, I don't have any options to go part time or online..my program is all or nothing. The plan would be to have Dh go part time and we would work our schedules so one of us is always home. Also my MIL is retiring this year, so I'm 99% positive that she would be happy to help out with a brand new grand-baby! So in sum, for me, it would be 9 more months of pain and suffering and then I'll be able to start my career, and work my schedule how I want if I go into home health like I think I will!

AFM: Started spotting last night and AF is here in full flow so I can be moved to Waiting to Onow. At least I knew she was on here way..and I feel better knowing Dh is ok to try one more time!

[Sourire]

MrsMike - I hope you get that BFP next cycle.

bondald2 - I believe tender breasts are caused by high progesterone. Someone once posted a link in one of the threads to a study showing that cycles where women were pregnant had higher progesterone starting right after O. I don't know if its because the higher progesterone made them more likely to be pregnant, or because the pregnancy made them have higher progesterone right away... either way its a good sign! I have had tender breasts from 1 DPO in all 3 of my TTC cycles, and I had never experienced that before in my life.

Gator-mom - Murphy's law says you have much more chance of a BFP this cycle since it would be less convenient! I say you are making the right decision to go for it!

AFM - 9 DPO today. AF could start at any second... the last 3 days I have been spotting but so far I haven't seen any blood today. I have mentally prepared myself to be disappointed by the arrival of AF. On the other hand, the longer I go with no blood today, the more hopeful I am going to get!

I had the SAME thing last month. It was the worst (Or best, however you want to look at it) O that I've ever had. I puked on O day. My boobs hurt ALL month, I even had breakthrough bleeding when I Oed... Not to mention the back hurting the cramps... And the huge amounts of CM.

AFM: This month, nothing. I don't even know if I Oed. =( =( =( I'm officially on CD16... I should have Oed days ago...

Thanks for taking over the thread, Attached!!!

[Stevi]

Gator-Mom... Well, nothing wrong with a Mr. Mom! Did you say he is in school? Maybe he could do completely online, then he wouldn't have to switch to part-time. Or take a combo, some classes online, some on campus. Just tossing out ideas, I can already see that you will make things work.

AAM... Well, todays OPK totally trumped yesterdays! So, I'm either Oing today or tomorrow. Hoping to get 2 BDs in today, and one tomorrow. Any and all could easily not happen, but I'm still hoping for 2 out 3!

[mingus]

Hi. I’m mingus -31 yo, married for 8.5 years, mom to 5.75 yo DS and finishing month 1 of ttc #2.

I’m waiting to know – ditched birth control 26 days ago and had 2 days of light withdrawal bleeding a few days later. Don’t know if or when I ovulated – I think I may have right around 2 weeks ago.

I have been having some interesting symptoms, but they easily may be just from adjusting to no hormonal BC (was on nuva ring). I’ve had colostrum leaking in the shower for 2 weeks now (hadn’t seen that in 4.5 years!), swollen bbs, mild pelvic pressure, very gassy (even had a night 5 days ago where I barely slept because of it, but I wasn’t sick), getting more emotional in the past few days, and a couple bouts of nausea this weekend. I’m planning on testing on Weds. if no AF by then.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

[Calycanth]

Welcome, Mingus!

Sourire -

Stevi - Have fun!

AFM: 10 DPO today, which is good. I'm hoping for a nice, long LP this month since last month's was so short - it would make me feel better about our chances next cycle. Looking forward to seeing all the little ones in their costumes tonight!

[Gator-mom]

Welcome Mingus! Hope you are only here for a short visit!

Stevi: Yea, not sure exactly how it would look, but I am sure we will find a solution, esp since we both want the extra addition.

AFM: Just trying to put out my last ditched effort of asking the universe to give me what I want! I think I'm going to actually pull out an old pic of myself pg with Ds and post it next to my computer so I can focus on actually BEING pregant!

[maxwill129]

Add me to Waiting to Know. I'm in the 2ww. Af is due the 4th. I don't have a chart that's online, but I ovulated the 21st. I was going to test the 5th.

I already cheated and took a test today (10 DPO and not FMU and I didn't really hold my bladder as long as I should have) and got a BFN.
Feeling pretty premenstrual. Crampy, moody, boobs hurt, sick to my stomach, but I always get that way the week before AF.

[sarah2881]

MrsMike -

Gator-mom - I hope this cycle is it! It will all work out!

AFM - Gosh, I still do not feel like I have gotten my mojo back this cycle. Dh and I are trying and enjoying the trying, I just don't feel very positive about the outcome. O should happen Monday. Here is hoping conception can happen even with the sour attitude! I just really hate getting my hopes up and then getting let down. Dh gave the swimmers a little pep-talk last night though! It made me laugh and I hope they listened!

[Attached2Elijah]

maxwill and mingus, you have been added and Welcome!!! Hope we can kick you out ASAP!

[musicoholic]

Good job, Attached2Elijah! Thread looks fantastic!
Oh, and my FF is http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/31e7b6... although it's pretty bare atm....

@Stevi: and have fun!!!

AFM: CD4. After a crappy last week, I finally felt well enough to get back into the gym this morning - and felt SO much better afterwards!!! Have today and tomorrow off work; af is just about ready to hit the trail, so just need to find something to do until she's finished packing her bags... Then DH better be ready!!!!! He might be going OS for 2 weeks - leaving on the 12th/13th Nov... I think I'm due to O around the 11th!!!!!

I don't O late....

[Mommy2b4]

Can you add me to Waiting to be Ready Thanks.

Looking forward o getting to know everyone!

[Mommy2b4]

Guess I should introduce myself I mentioned briefly why we were waiting before but . . .

My name is Lateria, I've been married to dh for almost 8 years. We have a 6 yr old dd, and 4 yr old ds.

I've wanted another since ds was almost 2, but dh got a vasectomy when ds was a few months old (we agreed but of course I realized too late that that was a mistake ).

It took 3 years but dh is finally convinced that we should TTC again
We had our consultation and the VR date is set for 12/1
I'm praying that everything goes well and everything is in working order after the 2 week recovery period.

I've started charting (learning as I go), but still need to get a thermometer.

Okay, thats all

[TheDivineMrsM]

Karma!

I just saw you on the list of BFPs and wanted to say congrats. You were so helpful when I was on this thread. See you on the PG board!!

[Stephaniqua]

After 4 days late, AF finally showed. I am so upset. I was so sure I was pg but it must have been the prehalloween stress that was keeping af away. Please move me to* Waiting to be Ready*. Due to timing issues we have to stop trying until january. I plan to still check constantly for updates, and can't wait to get back into the game.

[jojobean]

Sorry I have no time for personals It has just been hectic around here...I feel like I am on fast forward most days.

Anyways, super moody 12 dpo. Expecting AF to show during the night or the morning. BUT I think DH is really leaning toward being officially TTC next month
