Thanks for the new thread nicolian!

[toothfairy2be]

Thanks for the new thread, nicolian!

Nothing exciting here... But crossing everything for all of you!

[jojobean]

Thanks Nicolian, for the new thread!

[TalkToMeNow]

Thanks for the new thread!

[musicoholic]

Thanks for the new thread :)  

Nothing exciting here....  6dpo and a bad case of Mondayitis...  splinters in 4 of my fingers (2 joints in each!) from putting pork on bamboo skewers for breakfast this morning (didn't think to soak them first, did I?)....  AND was trying to figure out why I'm peeing so much - until I remembered I've just started drinking dandelion root tea to help alleviate my "natural" fluid retention ......  

Someone tell Tuesday to hurry up please!!!!!!  

ETA:  WOAH!!!!!!  SOMEONE in here has a VERY exciting chart!!!!  (I won't mention anyone's name...  but I think we're all waiting on an update from her!!!)

[Mummoth]

Thanks for the new thread! I'm sorry I haven't been around the last little bit. I'm pretty sure this month will be a bust, SO had the flu. 

How was everyone's weekend?

[ValH]

Hi ladies!  Thanks for chart stalking me!!  Sorry I didn't update over the weekend, but I was out of town for most of the weekend, and had to work yesterday. 

I really don't have much of an update, though, other than what's on my chart!  No symptoms to speak of, no cramps (since Friday), no spotting (at 15dpo!!!! definitely a record for me).  My boobs did start to get a little sore yesterday, and still are today - they hadn't been sore at all throughout this LP - but nothing excrutiating.  I really thought I was out on Saturday when my temp dropped, but then it spiked yesterday, and today it's at my normal LP range (98.48).  I want to test, but then I don't want another BFN (already had one at 11dpo).  So I'm waiting, at least until tomorrow but possibly until Wednesday.  Oh, the suspense!!! 

[nicolian]

You're killing us, Val! :)

[not_telling]

You are one strong woman!!  Alright...we'll all just grit our teeth and wait until tomorrow...

Thanks nicolian!  

4 dpo here, just hanging out, temping and taking my vitamins.  I'm really impressed with your willpower, Val!!  I'm crossing my fingers for you 

[jojobean]

Can't wait til tomorrow Val!  EVERYTHING crossed for you!

AFM:  9 dpo and nothing.  My therm broke so no temp, no cm and no symptoms.  Probably an AF cycle  which is fine.  We had decent timing this month, and all by DP's encourgaging too. He is still "gun shy" so to speak to dtd ON O day, but he lets me have my issues and I let him have his lol.  But if I may vent to you ladies, it drives me bonkers sometimes.  It is just so ODD.  It is like he just can't handle the responsibility of actually planning and working for another baby, but if it just "happens" when there is limited bd around that time well then it was meant to be.  He is a great guy, great father.  He is terribly afraid of commitment in life though.  And it is not just in ttc...it is big life choices and small life choices.  We are finally getting to the point where I can make a plan that he is involved in a few days in advance lol.  Not that this is wrong, it is him, you know?  I m a total planner, and he is just not. 

[MountainMamaGC]

Sorry I havent been around much. I have been hanging around in TTCAL. I am 11 DPO today. Not feeling it at all.

[Taxlady]

I'm with everyone else here.. I cannot wait for a certain someone...

Anyhow, I'm back to waiting to O..

[CDsMom1031]

Hi, ladies... Just poppin' in for no reason at all.

LOL

Val, I pray, pray, pray that this is the one for you! I really do.

AFM: CD9. Lame, boring, stupid... Dumb.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's strength that's keeping me from testing... it's more like fear of the BFN.  I've seen enough of those (including one earlier this month), so I'd rather just wait it out and see what AF decides to do (hopefully she'll decide to take a hike). 

Anyway, thanks for all of the encouragement and well-wishes.  It really does warm my heart to know that you guys are cheering for me! 

jojo - It seems like there's often a planner and a non-planner in each relationship.  I'm the planner, DH just kind of goes with it.  Drives me crazy sometimes, especially when he just expects stuff to happen but doesn't PLAN to make it happen.  But I guess opposites really do attract!

That is so true! With me and my DH, he is the planner and I am the non-planner. He likes to set everything up way in advance. When we go on a trip he will research the destination for weeks and read like 5 different guidebooks about the destination to plan all the stuff we are going to visit. Then when we get there he is upset that we can't do everything he wanted because I would rather sleep in super late and just chill.

Like for example our TTC vacation in Mexico (which is in 3 weeks woohoo!) He agonized for weeks over which hotel to go to and which flight to take, and he wanted to debate the choices with me for days on end. I take one look at the options and am like "ok that one sounds good, lets do that" and its over in 5 seconds, but then the next day he brings it up again and wants to start the whole discussion over! I am like, didn't we already decide this? Let's move on to another topic!

This weekend I started taking my progesterone cream again, which makes me super irritable and he started going on about another trip we plan to take in March and I just snapped and screamed WILL YOU EVER STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS YOU ARE DRIVING ME INSANE! I apologized after and blamed the progesterone cream, poor DH he really does have to put up with a lot when I am taking this stuff, but we really have such crazy different styles to planning!

End of rant!

Popping in to say- I agree! Though for dh and I it seems like we trade off on who is the planner and who is the "go with it" person. For our wedding/honeymoon- I planned everything. We joke that all dh had to do was show up For most financial things (buying a new car, repairs around the house, etc) dh is the planner and I just kinda smile and nod. LOL! For baby making.....
dh is in the "just do it all the time and eventually it'll have to work" camp

[Calycanth]

Hi!  Would you please move me to "Waiting to Know?"  Thanks!

[Stevi]

Val...   I hope the temp and lack of spotting are good news!!!

AAM...   I don't have much hope for this cycle, but am actively starting to look into new donors. I think I only want to use one for awhile, but am hoping to have some to choose that one from, you know? :)

Everybody have a Reproductive Week!
