Starrlight, I've been using the keeper since about 2008 and I quite liked it, but since my cycles came back postpartum I seem to be developing a latex allergy or something and it makes me excrutiatingly itchy. (Way TMI, I know) Other than that it worked well for me, but if you are at all latex sensitive the Diva cup is probably the way to go anyways. There's definitely a learning curve, no matter which one you try, so stick with it for a couple cycles and you'll probably learn to like it. (Although here's hoping you don't get a chance to practice too much before getting a BFP!) I did find it fairly uncomfortable to insert and remove at first but as I got better at it, it stopped being painful.
Wendy, I'd love to see your chart! On FF click on "Sharing" then click on "Set Up" You'll see a link that says "Your Charting Home Page Web Address." Copy it, come back here, click on the little world with the link sign and paste it in to the box. That's all there is to it!
Fazer, yay for Oing. Those super long cycles are so frustrating! Sending girl vibes your way! Our girl was conceived by BD on O day, so it's not impossible!
AFM, 9 dpo. I usually see a temp drop around 13 or 14 dpo so if it stays high for 5 more days I might start getting excited. Until than I'm really trying to just go with the flow. I've really been focusing on eating well and getting in shape this month (down 9 lbs so far!) and it's helped my stress level to have an alternative focus. I don't think I'll be as disappointed this month if I'm not pregnant because it'll mean one more month to get back in shape before dealing with another pregnancy, not that I don't want to be pregnant but at least I can see a silver lining if I'm not. 
Sorry for the convulted grammar! I can usually right a clear sentence but apparently not today!
The other thing I'm considering is completely weaning my DD. 
She's down to pretty much nursing only at night and before nap time, but it's driving me nuts. She's suddenly marathon nursing, plus popping on and off, and doing things like poking me, licking me, scratching me, until I just want to scream. I'd been planning to wait until she was at least 2 1/2 but the way things are going right now, nursing has become a cause of resentment and frustration for me, rather than a chance to reconnect. I know nightweaning is going to be loud and messy, but any attempt to put limits on it seems to cause just as much aggravation so I sort of feel like we are just stretching out the inevitable.
There was a big chunk taken out of the test area (gotta love the quality of the "cheapy" tests) but I really am not surprised by the BFN. I don't have alot of faith in this cycle, since I didn't ovulate until CD 49 and I had been taking progesterone cream to try to get a new cycle started (after giving up on this one). Just ready to move on to a healthier cycle with a "normal" O time. My LP is usually either 13 or 14 days so I've got 4-5 days left until the
shows up. I don't really see her that often, but when she does visit she stays WAY too long.
) he's really silly, as most 1 year olds!
!!!! I am so thrilled and so shocked. Really hope this one is sticky, I'm a bit scared after what happened last month, but the line on the test is super dark so I hope that is a good sign
