My first time thread-keeping and it's all screwed up!  I reformatted it by hand but lost all the chart links when I copied and pasted from the old thread!  Serious help needed tomorrow.  Bed is calling now.

[Pasta]

Ooh, I would like to join this.  I am 5dpo, so I'm waiting to know. Thanks! 

[CorgiMommy]

Hi there, I think im ether waiting to O or waiting to know!  you guys decide.  Im really not tp well today, nauseas, heartburn like you wont belive, cant eat and if I want to walk In super dizzy.  Probly some hormonal war raging inside me, what you think?  It really is awfull to not really have much hope that I'm pregnant .

AndTheStars - Thanks for the new thread.  To do the links, click on the chart icon, then click on the button on the toolbar that kind of looks like a globe with a chain link.  It's next to the bullets button.  That will popup a window that will allow you to enter the chart url.  Or, I think if you ask the previous thread keeper to send you the source code from last week's main page, you can just paste that into the first page of this thread (over writing what's already there) and that should give you the links and stuff.  Let me know if you have questions.

Viv -  CONGRATULATIONS!!! 

AFM - Please move me to waiting to O.  Just bought "Fertility, cycles and nutrition".  I hope it has some good info for BFing and TTC.  

Good luck ladies.  I hope this week brings some BFPs!!!

[gozal]

Vivica! So so so excited for you! Am I allowed to call your LO the Hooptie Baby? Now get outta here and to the DDC! But come back and let us know how you're doing, okay?

[kittenbritches]

AndtheStars - Thanks for the new thread this week!  We'll get the links all squared away, I'm sure.  :)  If you need it again, my chart url is http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/EcstaticUtahMommy

Corgi - I noticed on your chart that you're marking - HPTs.  Are you taking pregnancy tests at this stage?  Is it because you just had one day of light bleeding?  That must be so confusing. 

Vivica - Congrats on your BFP!!   H&H 9 months to you!!!

AFM - I think I'm gearing up to O (watery CM, strong O pains, HS cervix), so I'm in the BD stage!  LOL.  DH works swings and gets home around 12:30 at night...last night he was really stressed when he got home, so we talked for a half hour before getting to it...and then neither of us could sleep until 3am!!  I'm exhausted!   I desperately need a nap, but we are moving this week!  Ugh!

[CorgiMommy]

kitten - Yes I am taking HPT now and then, nearly 8 weeks since D&C and no real AF. Feel so useless, as my DH keeps asking me if I am not pregnant yet??? As you can see, we BD regularly and he probly recons its not his fault nothings happening. I was so sure I o'd but it seem to just be another dam missed message from my body, as no temp rise.

[janellody]

AndtheStars - here is my chart http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/352915 Thanks for taking over the thread, I think dates need to be changed in title but what do I know, I am still a newbie!

Kitten - that must SUCK to have to do everything that late.. my hubby and I have issues just having to do it every other day, it is such a chore already and we just started :(  He would never agree to doing it that late, he would just pass out.  We do it right before bed, but sometimes (like last night) I am just so tired and not into it.. ugh.  I am trying to think of ways to make it better and not such a hassle, because if we don't get that BFP the first month, we have to keep going and I think we might just die. lol.

Corgi - (hugs) to you, I hope your body starts cooperating!!

[Stevi]

AndtheStars...   Go back to the old One Thread, to the first post, and click on "Quote." Copy and paste that info into your first post for this week's One Thread. Then it should maintain the links, etc...

[toothfairy2be]

I'm at work so I cant comment on everything but I wanted to update. I POAS this morning & it was white as snow... Just an IC. my temp went up as you can see (but who knows how accurate it was bc @3am a laundry basket fell & woke me , I tempted at like 330 when I realized I was not falling back to sleep & it was 98.9, at 540 it was 99.4-my usual wake up time). Ive been nauseous since yesterday afternoon, thought it was anxiety but it is still here... I feel emotional & my face broke out & like puking... If I'm really not pg this is the most cruel AF joke ever. I am still having that little bit of spotting... I have no answers, I just feel so crummy & want a do over... I really dont feel AF coming like usual & if she is I need to call my RE... So annoying. I'm done whining, lucky for me I only have 2 more patients & can go home. I'm going to splurge on FRER for the am...

Updated to here

So I think that I got it figured out and everyone is where they need to be (and with a chart too!)  Let me know if you see anything that needs changed.  Sorry for the confusion!

Viv, seriously just still so excited for you!  Thanks for the BFP to stare at!

cbaa, like I said before, beautiful chart, just beautiful.  I'm hoping so hard for you that this is it. 

corgi, that is some confusing stuff you got going on there.  I'm going to vote that you should stay in Waiting to O.  I don't see that you clearly O'd yet.  And tell your DH to settle down.  There's nothing wrong with you and maybe your body just needs some time to adjust back to regular O'ing.  He's getting the benefit here too! 

Stevi,  Thanks for the instructions!  They were the ticket!  I'm such a computer boob...

Kitten, fingers crossed for a successful BD run and good luck with your move.  Moving is the worst thing ever.  So stressful!

janellody, I'm with you on the hassle that is BD'ing.  DH and I always did it before bed too cause that's the only time that I can guarantee that DS won't bother us.  I feel the exact same way about having to do this all over again next month if it doesn't work.

AFM, I keep second-guessing whether I O'd yet or not.  I'm onto watery CM which I usually get for a day or two past O and then dry up.  I kind of want to move myself to Waiting to Know but I'm afraid to jinx it.  Also, I feel like I need to confess that I am not doing a good job avoiding coffee and wine/beer in the O/TWW period.  When we were TTC my son, I was so good!  Now, I just finished a cup of coffee at work and last night had a glass of wine at my friend's bachelorette dinner.  Please tell me that some of you other gals slip up too!  I comfort myself by assuming that nothing has even implanted yet even if we did manage to concevie this month.  Oh, rationalization, you are my best friend...

cbaa: I've got everything crossed for you. Maybe making the RE appointment was your good luck charm like it was mine?!

[vivica2]

thanks ladies!!!

and gozal- yes, yes you are! haha im sure dh wont forget it either. ;)

[Stevi]

cbaa2010...   That would be driving me nutso!

AndtheStars...   No problem, I was given those same instructions the first time I was threadkeeper.

[BubbleMa]

So sorry cyg. 

Viv...congrats on the hooptie baby! 

[MeredithA]

AndTheStars ~ Thank you for taking the job of thread keeper - it was a very hectic 1st day back at work with the kiddos and will probably be completely crazy the whole week! 

Viv ~ WOO HOO!!!!

I threw a big party at my house at 3 dpo and had probably 4 mixed drinks & this Saturday night at 10 dpo I had a glass of sangria with dinner. I had iced black tea this morning, and a lot of mornings before o this month --- all things I have not done in a year... Hope that helps!

I still feel pukey. My DH is hopeful. I just want an answer. I pee too much to POAS tonight, so it will have to wait til the morning. If my temp drops I won't torture myself.

jenellody- I felt the same way after our first month, second month, third month, so on and on and on... somehow you just get through it. Try pre-seed, it makes things less uncomfortable at least on the nights that it just feels like work. The last 2 months we tried to O at the same time, that at least kept things interesting! Last month I didn't ovulate, so I guess if I am pg now that would be the answer for me!

[remark71]

Vivica:  Congratulations and I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months.

Good luck to everyone else.
