Stevi: Are you doing online and in-person dating?

[CorgiMommy]

Mommy - I had the same problem last week, my OB appointment got cancelled so could not get a answer on what it was.  I would definatly tell her about it and also let me know if you can!  I felt like I was having a bad AF, but only spotted a bit, strange what our bodies get up to!

Stevi - I hope you find someone nice, it is such an exiting time.

SKJ - My dogs are doing the same, my puppy ate my thenomitor last week, had to get a new one, but they keep waking up at 3-4 am and I need to take them to wee.  Ugh

[Stevi]

Gemmine...   Yeah, I do a bit of correspondence over the Internet, then meet if he seems nice, and go from there.

A friend of mine had success with the turkey baster method. I'm not sure about the details, it was one of those random bits of information that came out in a conversation about other things, but I know that it worked on the first try for them after a year of actively TTC.

Stevi, that would be wonderful if the HSG gets my tubes all nice and ready for conception to take place!!  I've had two before, and luckily I haven't found them to be as uncomfortable as what they can be for some women.  I hope this is the case Friday... hope I didn't jinx myself, ha ha.

[beautifulnm]

Can I get added? I'm on CD 35.. I think I O'd late; my cycle has been out of whack since I had a miscarriage in May.. No sign of AF.. I'll be compulsively POAS if and when she shows up.

[Stevi]

TenzinsMama...   You've had the HSG before? How long ago? Before your DS?

AAM...   I may go with an FWB situation. Well, actually, it looks like I have already started on an FWB situation. I was serious about feeling lonely, so hopefully this guy will be up for the F part of things once in awhile. So far he seems too good to be true, so keep yourt toes crossed!

Think Fertile Thoughts!

Hey ladies! Just checking in. Today I am 8DPO and got a BFN. Was really hoping for a BFP since it's my 5th wedding anniversary, but not today. I'm thinking this won't be the cycle. Still hoping but trying to not get too excited, if you know what I mean.

Sending dust and sticky to all!

AFM - I left a message with an Arvingo Mayan Abdominal Massage person today. Anyone ever tried it? I even had DH read an article about it and he thinks it might be beneficial to me! Trouble conceiving DS, DS's birth, fertility problems a second time, miscarriage, these all point to problems with the position of my uterus. Now I just have to wait for her to call back and see how much it costs. They also teach you how to do it to yourself. I think I would really like that. I like having control and it would make me feel good to have a ritual to do everyday to help ttc.

I did Arvigo from January- June, I took off July b/c I didn't have a free day to go & August I have been so busy with Dr appts I didn't go. I thought it was great, I learned so much about my organs and how things felt and should feel in proper position. I still do the self- care before O so I think I still get some benefits. The one I saw also does acupuncure, herbs, reiki & mind body studies, as well as being a former nurse  (RN), so all around she had such a sense of knowledge and peace. She has studied 3 times this year directly with Rosita Arvigo, the founder of Arvigo massage, so I felt I was in good hands. I hope you have good luck with it. I figured if anything it would put me in a good place for conception when my time comes, even if it didn't magically get my pregnant. My session was 90 for the first visit, and 70 for follow-up visits, but I know there is a range anywhere especially different parts of the US! Good Luck!

Can I be added?  I am on CD7 and just waiting for O!

[MOMMYSINCE2008]

janellody-  hope your stay here is short and you get your  very soon! 

God Bless and !

[janellody]

Thanks!!!

[AndtheStars]

Crrrunchberie, don't give up hope...8 DPO is still really early. FX for you!

Stevi, T(oes)X for you!

cbaa, that's great info about Arvigo massage. Have you noticed any changes in your cycle or health because of it?

Mommysince2008, yay for crosshairs, your chart looks good! You had great BD timing this month. I hope it brings you your BFP!

Tenzinsmama, ditto on the multiple HSG question...did it help you conceive your son?

beautifulnm, Welcome! I'm sorry to hear about your loss. How many DPO's do you think you are?

janellody, Welcome to you too! Are you trying for your first? Is this your first cycle TTC? We (I) are a nosy lot!

AFM, We skipped BD last night and are trying for tonight, Friday and maybe Sat or Sun. I think that I might O a little early this cycle to keep up with the full moon. I had a really trying morning with 2 year old DS and it always makes me question whether I can really handle two (or more) kids.

[MeredithA]

Beautifulnm & Janellody ~  Welcome! I’ve added you both!

Stevi ~ ooh good, I’m glad you’ve found someone that seems nice

Crunchberrie ~ aww I’m sorry about the bfn – 8dpo is still very early. It is possible this is the month!

MommySince2008 ~ Nice chart! Since its my 1^st cycle temping as well, I don’t have much input for you other than it looks like you BD at a good time!!

AndtheStars ~ Sorry you had a trying morning with the little one! When my 3 ½ yr old acts up is not when I worry about another one – its when he is being a complete angel and I worry what if the next one isn’t as sweet/polite/loving/perfect as he is. DH says I worry too much about everything though. 

[AndtheStars]

MeredithA, I worry about everything too so I try to chalk it up to that. I have been lacking patience with DS lately and it makes me feel like an awful parent and I just question whether or not I can really handle two. Sigh.

[arbybee]

BFN today and a downward trend in temps. Oh well! Gonna kick back and wait for AF and I guess enjoy that I can have a gin and tonic or two this weekend at the beach.

[MeredithA]

Arbybee ~ too bad about the bfn, but thats the spirit -- gin and tonic at the beach sounds wonderfully relaxing! 

[toothfairy2be]

WELCOME janellody & beautifulnm - I hope you have beautifully short stays because of beautiful BFPs!

AndtheStars- I haven't had to take advil for cramps, which at points in the past had kept me completely incapacitated and unable to sleep at night because of the pain, so that alone was worth it for me. I also feel more in control & connected to my body and my creative space. I never considered myself 'crunchy' before, but for some reason when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth, the duration of this journey has made me more focused on saturating myself in every moment, knowing when I do get pregnant there is so much to look forward to and enjoy about pregnancy and birth and not as much to complain about!
