Leading up to some Valentines BFP's ladies! Fingers crossed and babydust to all  We had 5 BFP's last month, hopefully we're on a bit of a roll!

[John16n33]

Ugh I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy nose this morning.  I don't know if I should go to church or not.  I am drinking some hot tea now and hopefully I will feel slightly better in the next 30 minutes or so.

[dbl_my_luv]

Thanks for the new thread, doularebekah!

J16n33, so sorry you're not feeling well :(  Hope it passes quickly!

AFM, I'm thrilled that today is 11DPO and no sign of AF!  I mean, no sign of pregnancy either, and my temp is dropping rather than climbing so I'm sure AF is on her way, BUT that means my LPs are getting longer and I didn't even use progesterone cream this month!  Wahoo! 

[KatCooke]

Yay! New Thread! 

J16n33: I felt the exact same way this morning, what are the allergen counts by you? I'm in Austin, and right now we are having a TON of cedar in the air, which I am pretty allergic to.

DoulaRebekah: Please move me to 2ww: AF is due on the 12th and I am trying so hard not to test!

I have been VERY queasy, smells are bothering me, my boobs feel heavy, and I'm MOODY. These are good signs, yes?

[Stevi]

DoulaRebekah...   Can I be moved to Waiting to Know? Thank you!

AAM...   My nipples are a wee bit tender. That means my hormones are present and doing their job! So nice to have further proof that I'm not out of the game yet.

[doularebekah]

J16n33 - Oh man, I'm sorry you're not well! We've had this weird summer cold going around here that we've all got, it's the worst not feeling like yourself! Hope you feel better soon!

dbl_my_luv - That's awesome news! 

Stevi & KatCooke - Done! You both sound like your bodies are doing what they're meant to, fingers crossed!

AFM - I'm pretty sure that I'm now in the 2WW for real, I guess I'm just a late ovulator! 

[LisaAdkins20]

Doularebekah- thank you for the new thread! 

J16n33- sorry you are not feeling well! I have had a bad weekend at work. I work in an Assisted Living Facility and on Friday we had 5 sick people with diarrhea and throwing up, this morning we had 38! It is spreading like a wildfire, some people are confused and it is very hard to quarantine them to their rooms! I hope I won't get it and that this is not what you are having! 

AFM- AF is due next Sunday, so I hope she won't show up! It is my Birthday on Sunday, so that would be the best present ever! I have been urinating a lot, I am very exhausted (which could be because of all the sicky people at work) and I have been feeling nauseated all week. So, I hope those are good signs! 

[jpack]

Lots of positive 2ww-ers here! Yay! KatCooke, my AF is also due on the 12th. You can join John16n33 and I trying to keep each other away from the tests til Tuesday!

John 16n33, I'm sorry you're sick. I feel like in my house we get sick ALL THE TIME!! I decided to start putting it in ff because I don't know if I imagine it or not, but I feel like it's at least one virus every month! DD is sick now, it's the first time I haven't gotten it, too. FWIW, I'm pretty obsessed with Umcka. It's a name brand for an African herb/plant called Umckaloabo (umcka) a/k/a Pelargonium sidoides a/k/a South African Geranium. You can even get it most CVS/Wallgreens pharmacies. It's very popular in Europe. I prefer the kind you mix in hot water (like theraflu) but you can also get it in chewables or syrup. I really believe that it helps shorten the duration of a virus and keeps it from getting into the lungs and sinuses as badly. HTH. I HATE being sick so often, but if you take Umcka early it really has helped us. Good Luck!

Doularebekah, sounds like that you may just O later. Hope you caught it! BTW you are a very good threadkeeper!

Stevi sounds good! FXed for you!

dbl_my_luv, FXed for you, too! Missed why you did no progesterone this month. Any reason?

LisaAdkins, FXed for you, too! Yuck - I'm so bad with puke - mine or otherwise. It's terrible. I'd totally suck at your job! Hope that's not why you're queasy!

[CDsMom1031]

Thanks for the new thread!!!

My LO turned 3 months on the 31st. Wahhh, where does the time go? =(

[KatCooke]

JPack: Too late, I couldn't resist! I bought a bunch from Save on tests, and I SWEAR there was a very faint, but visible line!!!

(As I'm typing this, I realize that this is not helping you guys wait it out...lol) But I will be re-testing next week for sure.

[dbl_my_luv]

Oh wow, KatCooke!  That's exciting!  Lots of sticky healthy vibes to you!

jpack, my naturopath wanted a day 21 progesterone test without the influence of the cream, so I skipped it this month.  Also, I felt our chances of having caught an egg this cycle were pretty low, so I didn't feel worried about going without it. 

I have to go get my kids moving on schoolwork.  It's amazing I want more children when we have days like these around here!  They're making me nuts!

[jpack]

Way to go KatCooke! Good Luck! FXed for you!! Hey, when the spirit moves you and there are cheapies callin' from the bathroom closet... right?! Keep us posted!

Dbl_my_luv interesting about the progesterone. Good to get a comparison, yeah?

John16n33 - hope you're feeling better! I totally caught my DD's cold. Bleh, but I don't think it's too bad of a cold... FXed it'll pass quick.

AFM Off to get my results from the 3dpo blood work. Got a message, "Everything looks good, but [midwife] wants you to redo the progesterone cd26-8, so we'll have the order here for you."Kinda thought that would happen! I'm interested to know the #s, so we're gonna go get them now.

[Attached2Elijah]

Thanks for the new thread! LOL I also absolutely adore that I am 'A2E' on the list... hehe. I have become rather 'attached' (pun intended) to that little nickname from last go-'round on the list.

TTCCorC, I can't believe your LO is 3 months already! WOW!!!! It seems like your BFP was just a few months ago!


Well, I think you can safely move me to the 2ww, please! I'm not exactly sure what day I O'd but I'm pretty sure that it happened... and it was a doozy! I had about 2-3 days of VICIOUS O pains, nausea and some other really nasty O signs that I don't care to repeat again. I'm not sure if that's because of the loss or what but I don't ever remembering feeling it quite like that. I never did get any CM to definitely say when O occurred but that's because of lots and lots of BDing and also because I wasn't really internally checking. I was playing this cycle cool, calm and relaxed and just enjoying my hubby and our child-free room so I didn't obsess. Now I'm kind of hoping for a Valentine's day BFP... although, I know I'll chicken out and not bother testing. I'm scared of those stupid sticks, even more so because of the loss now. Pbbbbffffttttt! They really should invent a belly button ring that just lights up when you're preggo. Would make my life so much easier.

[LisaAdkins20]

A2E- LOL!!! I like your belly button idea! 

AFM- I have been spending half of my day on fertility friend. Many of the charts that showed a pregnancy were able to test + on 9 DPO or 10 DPO. I think I might go tomorrow and buys some HPT from the $ store. I want to know already! I hate this week or not knowing what is going on at all! 

[John16n33]

jpack- Oh no! I hope you start feeling better soon.  I feel slightly better, but not 100%.  My head is still so congested I feel like it's about to explode.  I am chicken and dumplings tonight with A LOT of garlic so hopefully that helps some.

Lisa- Your doing a lot better than me! I am only 5dpo and already tested today lol.  I have 23 Wondfo cheapies left though so it wasn't too big of a deal.

AFM- The only symptom I have had so far is extreme fatigue, I actually took nap today while the kids did.  But I get more tired every cycle after o'ing and I have a cold so I'm not reading into it much.

[anyalily]

Hi everyone. Thanks for the new thread DoulaR! Please move me to the 2WW. I am on CD17 or something close to that. I think I O'd on CD13-15, or thereabouts. I am not charted, except to notice signs when they are obvious. 

It sounds like a lot of us are sick right now. I got a sinus thing yesterday and now I am feeling a nauseated, but I think it is more nerves than anything else. The acacias are blooming, so allergies on top of a cold. Fun! I would suspect just allergies, but DD came down with it too.

I am feeling a little down and stressed right now. I have been a SAHM since Wednesday. But on Friday I smashed my pinky finger in the door and on Sunday I got a cold, so I am feeling thwarted. At least my DD is eating well. She ate ALL her broccoli tonight and a few sardines with very little bargaining. A triumph!

[Stevi]

I have been TTC since December of 2005, and I just bought my first batch of cheap Internet HPTs (Wondfro). LOL

[John16n33]

anyalily- I'm sorry you are sick too.  I wonder what the heck is going around?  I am just grateful that we have not caught the stomach virus that is going around here too.

[jpack]

Anyalily - bummer about the cold and pinky! Sorry to hear that! great about DD eating well though.

Stevi - That's so funny!

A2E - I had extra cramping at O this cycle, too! I'd never noticed it before, and maybe it is because of the loss, but yeah, I had some wierdness, too. Lets hope it was just for super crazy ovulation awesomeness! LOL about the bellybutton ring! I've already gotten a couple BFNs. bleh- I peed on SO MANY sticks last cycle hoping for darker and darker lines, it's like I got a bad habit! I wish I was more hesitant like you. I think I'm setting my self up for .
