BubbleMa: That sucks that someone could have that kind of attitude and still work with kids.

Stevi: Thanks for the good words. I hope things work out for your young friends. They are so lucky to have you!

cbaa: I hope you get things figured out quickest and that your docs are understanding and helpful!

AndtheStars: I went in for a UTI that would not go away and found out I was pregnant with DS. That was my one and only UTI ever. Maybe it's some kind of wacky good luck? I do tend to drink a lot of cranberry juice though so maybe that also helps.

Sila: Way to keep positive! I hope you O soon so that we remain cycle buddies!

Yay for temp spikes Sourire!

Thanks justKate!

AFM: My DH is so funny. He told me the other night that his greatest turn on is the fact that every time we BD it could be the time he gets me pregnant. Apparently, this is why I've never had an issue getting him to BD anywhere near my fertile window.

I hear ya about the proud hubby. We (hopefully) conceived with 2 day old "boys" as I was away on a girl's trip, and my husband thinks he is just Mr. Superimpregnator. I can't even imagine what that superhero cape would look like... 

[justKate]

OMG I'm having the most horrific grumpiness ever.  I'm really being awful.  I'm assuming that's not a pg sign. 

My ICs came today (I've never ordered them before, just used dollar store ones) and I had to pee on one just to see how they work.  Of course neg b/c I'm only 7DPO, but I couldn't believe how tiny they are!  They always look regular size in peoples' pictures....  Anyway I have 10 left so I'll probably keep at it for a while.

[AndtheStars]

Sourire, , , I'm so happy that you and others chart so that I can stare and obsess about your charts instead of driving myself crazy with my own.

Thanks for the UTI input, everyone. I think that I'm going to buy some instead cups and try those. I think that drinking cranberry is supposed to increase CM though too so maybe both? And since I got a UTI when I got pregnant with my son, maybe it's a sign of good luck. (Thanks for that, fertility goddesses)

justKate, I was just looking on amazon at tests! Are they the Wondfo (or something like that)? If they are really tiny, I'll probably need to buy double because I'm clumsy enough to drop 50% in the toilet/cup when testing. I haven't needed any for awhile but having a large stock of them on hand when I'm actually starting to want to POAS is a great idea, right? I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

belacmsage, my DH is just excited that you have to BD to get pregnant because it means he actually might get some! I think that he's secretly hoping that it takes awhile for us to get pregnant.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

[MeredithA]

AndtheStars: Yes, I would say go with the cranberry juice too. I am prone to UTIs and drank tons of cranberry juice when ttc ds and I didn't notice it having an impact on my CM at all...but if it is supposed to increase it, thats even better! Good luck!

JustKate: I know what you mean about those ICs being sooo tiny! They are getting smaller too! I had some blue handled ones from early-pregnancy-tests.com and they were ok, but then I ordered some from saveontests.com and they have pink handles and are super super skinny. Hopefully you'll get your BFP and then you won't be grumpy :-) 

AFM: I am pretty sure AF is on the way. AF is due tomorrow and I took an FRER this morning. BFN. If I don't see any spotting tomorrow, I'll probably take another one on Sunday. I've been crabby and really sleepy, but that could be PMS or preg. so who knows! 

[SilaMarila]

JustKate/AndTheStars - I used the teeny tiny opks last cycle and went back to "big ones" for this cycle lol. As for clumsyness, yeah I dropped my tube of PreSeed in the toilet today. That about sums it up.

Finsmom/Belacmsage - LOL @ Superimpregnator!!! My DH also thinks he puts a baby in every single time... 

[BubbleMa]

JustKate, I hope she was joking!

MeredithA, I hate that pg symptoms and PMS symptoms are so similar!  It's not a nice trick for mother nature to play on us ladies!

Still not much to report here.  My boobs are getting more sore every day.  And SUPER sensitive.  And I keep feeling weird twinges in my uterine area (is that the proper term?)  Who knows if it means anything though.  We'll see next week!  I'm really hoping to get a BFP while on vacation!  :D
 

[TenzinsMama]

BubbleMa, those sound really promising-- when are you planning on testing?

Sourire, that's exciting to have someone have a premonition about you!  I had one about a friend of mine this spring, I just had a feeling that she was going to get pregnant in the next little while... After meeting her for coffee (she wanted to know about my ttc'ing experience, because she was getting worried about not being able to get pregnant) and then not hearing from her for a little while, I then contacted her to see what was up because I just kinda knew that she was going to tell me she was pregnant, and she was!  5 weeks along, and everything is going just great (she is due in December). 

justkate, I just hate when I have grumpy days like that!  I hope it's a better day tomorrow!

AFM, Please move me to "Waiting to Know".

Is anybody going to be testing this week?  I'm hoping we can finish off the month of July with at least one more bfp; it's been a great month so far!

[MeredithA]

BubbleMa - sore boobs is a good sign! I hope you get that BFP on vacation too! keep us posted! 

TenzinsMama - I'm testing this week too. We need to finish up July with several more BFPs!! 

[Mom2IrishBoys]

My temp still never fell below my CL which is 97.43. the lowest it had gone was 97.61 and now its on a slow rise back up it looks like. Any ideas? I only had 1 day of light bleeding. the rest were just spotting. So to keep an eye on if my temps went below CL or not, I switched the 1 day of bleeding to spotting and in a day or 2 will put it back.

[BubbleMa]

Tenzinsmama, AF is due the 26th, we leave for vacation on the 30th.  I was going to wait until the 2nd or so to test, mostly because I wanted to give AF plenty of time to show.  But now I want to test in July, just in case.  :)  So, I think I'll test on the 29th now.

[TenzinsMama]

BubbleMa, everything is crossed for you!!!

M2IB, I can't remember what your testing history has been this cycle... do you think it is worth testing again? 

[Mom2IrishBoys]

TenzinsMama: I tested - at 11, 12, and 13 dpo. Its confusing.. cuz if i put back in my 1 day of an actual flow on the 20th.. FF puts me at 4dpo and 'most firtile' cuz my CP has been high and soft for the past few days. BUT it has Aug. 4th as my expected O date. Last cycle my O actually came 4-5 days AFTER  FF guessed it to be.. so maybe i'll O a few days sooner this cycle? All SOOOOOOO confusing lol. I'd concider testing.. but honestly I'm out of tests atm and its entirely too hot and Im too lazy to go out just to get it lol.

Updated to here.

Mom2IB, I think its worth testing again. I'm one of those people that had a light period the first month I was pg with DD--I didn't test until I was like 7 weeks along because of that period.  So maybe once more...

TenzinsMama, I'll probably be testing every day until AF comes, although I should wait until the middle of the coming week. 

ETA: finsmom, any updates? 

As for me, getting flat temps on this side of O too.  I know they don't really mean anything during the LP, but it would be great to see them climb.  Oh well, flat is better than falling.

Well, I as well was out of preg tests this morning (I don't even want to use the ones I got from early preg tests.com cause they are STILL giving me a negative!!). So I'll test tomorrow morning and update. I feel I'll be ready to move to graduates when I see a gestational sac next week. I should see one Tuesday, I'm hoping. I know that by no means and I out of the woods until after about 8 weeks,but at least I will know it's not a chemical pregnancy or an ectopic. 

[Mom2IrishBoys]

Well.. DEF not pg. my temp FINALLY dropped below CL this morning, now that the spotting is gone. Im HOPING that Im going to O soon as FF has me as most fertile these past 3 days, today being the 4th because no matter how many times a day I check my CP its only been H/S. So maybe I'll actually be able to TTC this month before HUbby is away!

[remark71]

Mom2IrishBoys; Sorry for the temp drop and good luck this cycle. 

finsmom; Good luck testing this morning.  I hope you get a really dark positive.

AFM: I ovulated on Thursday, Can I be moved to waiting to know.  i did a comparrison of my chart from the PG I lost and the O temp and post-O temps are prett close, so I am hoping that this cycle with end with a BFP.   I also received a job offer on Thursday and will be flying to Atlanta for training the middle of August.  That will help with some of the stress as now I will have a stable job.  After training I will be working from home all the time and they are really flexible with the hours.  The only tough part will be leaving DS for a week during training. 

Good Luck to everyone.
