Have a great camping trip, Korin! That sounds like so much fun. We never get to do things like that.

I think bra sizes in the US must be on a different scale. I can't imagine someone in a size H being able to walk or touch her hands together!

Well, my temp keeps climbing. I don't know what that means other than I'm producing progesterone and I did ovulate at some point. I'm way too impatient for this whole process. I want to be pregnant, and I want to be pregnant NOW! :


to everybody testing today!

Erika . . .there are simply no words for how your friend was treated . . .oh my GOODNESS . . .please invite her, please! I can't begin to imagine her pain . . .losing a child has to be the most tragic event . . .

Puddingpop- I'm not giving up hope just yet. Let's see how things go tomorrow morning!

Tracie- let's see your chart! Sounds promising!

Katy- I think my sister is an H (about a 36 H). She was always large chested, which really bothered her as a teenager, and now she just deal with it (doesn't love it). She also has a really hard time shopping for bras. I think she got my share!

Korin, I gotta say (esp. after watching my sister nurse) that small boobs are much easier for nursing! I also love not having to wear underwire. I could go around in a T-shirt type bra and be fine, but I need some padding (my headlights look "on" a lot!) Have fun on your trip!

As for me, AF isn't here yet, but after 8 days of spotting and a huge temp drop today, I think tomorrow or later today she'll arrive. I'm so excited! I'm going all out this cycle . . .I finally bought some OP strips, I'm getting my Robitusin, I have the EP pills, and DH picked up my progesterone Rx. I'm ready!

[Joi]

Well, I am off to catch my plane. Wish me luck in meeting bio dad!


As for day time snogging we have a 4 year old and that makes things a little more difficult. This is just so frustrating because we had a scortching sex life before the baby planning began. I mean my girlfriends dubbed me the queen of kink (that was probably wayyyyyyyyyy tmi). Oh well, here's to hoping that the usual crazy hotel sex works.

My temp dropped another .5 deg this morning. If it wasn't 5:30 am here I would scream.


See you all next week. Big Belly hopes for us all. : :

[Lousli]

Hi there,
No stalking is needed. I tested this morning and got a BFN. I used an Answer brand, an internet cheapie, and an OPK. They were all negative (although the OPK did have a second line, just not a dark one).

So maybe it was an evaporation line, or maybe I just still don't have very much HcG in my system. I don't know. I'm trying to comfort myself with my high temp, and the fact that I got up to pee at 2:00, then did the HPT's at 5:30, so I didn't hold my urine for very long. But it isn't working very well.

Well, my last LP was 9 days, the one before that was 12, so AF is due in the next couple of days. I would think I will know for sure one way or the other by Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Still, that seems far away right now.

I hardly slept last night and kept thinking about how I would wake up, POAS, and get my big, fat, clear,obvious, positive so I could relax and celebrate. Oh well.

[mama2m&m]

OK, would you ladies PULEASE update your charts? It's like 9:00 here and most of them still say Thursday It's not like i'm stalking or anything.

angst - good luck! enjoy your trip.

miz and pudding

tracie what happened to vip?

korin, enjoy your camping trip!

erika, how sad. i can't imagine. please invite her. i'm sure she'd love it and shame on her co-worker. sounds like they have some deep-seated issues.


okay now FOR THE RECORD! i only got like 2-1/2 hours. we're still talking about that night. : in the meantime i'm still lots of ewcm and an open cervix. i hope i don't o this afternoon! that would be horrors of horros. i meant to wake dh up early but what with the lack of sleep and late meeting last night i'm still recuperating. as for daytime rendevous, naptimes can work sometimes. last saturday, the kids by some miracle were napping at the same time. nothing like some stolen hoo ha to heat things up!

this morning i left a "scheduled" rendevous in my dh's palm. he has no idea it's there but he will when he checks his schedule and by scheduled i just mean i left him a provocative note. hope he doesn't lose it, wouldn't that beat all?

oh and on the boob issue, i was called a boy once in school becuase i had short hair and a flat chest when all the other girls were growing. certainly gave me a complex. after my dd was born, i grew to a DD after having been a b-c most of my life. the b always seems sort of small so i enjoyed the BIG boobs! thankfully dh doesn't care what size they are. do you know what my mom told him in front of me one day when we were dating? "More than a handful's too much." I was so embarrassed. Almost as embarrassed as when she caught me goosing my boyfriend in high school LOL.

anyhow with all the weight i've gained in the past two years, they've stayed a D cup while i understnad most people's go down. i enjoy the big boobs but not the big body. i remember going to victoria's secret last year to get my first *real* bra after wearing nursing bras for so long and they didn't carry my size : that was hysterical.

okay i realize i'm talking WAY too much here so i'll sign off. sorry to hog the thread!

[mama2m&m]

okay so i lied.

lesly your chart still looks really good. when i got my last bfp it was 12 or 13 dpo and barely visible. so i'm gonna say that it's just too early yet. i know it's sooooo disappointing and so hard to wait. i'll be : for you!

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. My size is so average (36B) that VS is always out of my size. Same all my sizes, shoes (8), clothes(10). I'm just average all the way around!


What do you guys think about baby dreams?? My sil and I both had dreams of my newborn baby girl on the same night. (night before last) I haven't had a baby dream since I was pregnant with Kinzi. Coincidence? Sure. But could it be an omen?

Tracie (stuck on MDC when she should be getting ready for work)(same thing, different day)

[mama2m&m]

oh so you just signed up? i resisted for a while too until i got tired of counting dpo's LOL! i figured murphy's law i'd sign up and not need it but it doesn't seem to have happened thus far.

as for baby dreams, you both having the same dream at the same time is interesting. i had a baby dream a few days ago, like last week sometime i think. i'm not sure what to make of them to be honest. i like to think of them as things to come but i know it doesn't always happen that way.

[mamaharsh]

Good morning all.

Lesley - bummer on the BFNs, but I'm :

Puddingpop - I have my : for you too.

Erika - I can't believe how that woman treated your friend. That's just horrible.

Elena - I'll send +++ vibes your way for next month.

Korin - have fun on the camping trip!

Denise - have fun with your DH this afternoon

Tracie - I'm a 36B as well and I always have to order my VS bras from their website. As far as dreams, I don't usually have very memorable dreams, but I do when I'm pg. When I was pregnant with my son, I had two very vivid dreams about boy babies and no dreams about girls. With my last pregnancy, I had a dream at 2dpo that I was pregnant. Sure enough, I tested + at 10dpo. At nine weeks, I had a dream that I felt the baby move and then saw the imprint of his/her hand on my stomach. I found out at 12 weeks that the baby had died at nine weeks. It's really wierd because I so seldom remember dreams.

I'm pretty tired today. Nate woke up 3 or so times last night and I had a hard time getting back to sleep each time. DH and I talked and we think we are going to sit this cycle out. He thinks my body just needs a break. I agree, but it's going to be darn hard to ignore my O signs this month. It was hard enough last month. He gets home tonight, which I'm really looking forward to. I hate it when he travels...

[shannon0218]

Major temp spike this morning.
Oh man, if this isn't the month, I'm gonna be a mess.
Wanna hear the funny thing though?? I believe because of the HCG trigger shot they gave me and the fact that I'm taking supplemental Progesterone, my arthritis is better, not good and definitely not in remission, but the wrist that people kept asking if I was sure it wasn't broken has come way down in swelling.

Lesley , however, it is still WAY early!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait another few days and see if the bitch shows.

[Mizelenius]

Ah, Shannon, now I'm getting REALLY excited for you, too! A major temp spike is just a good thing, no bones about it!

As for you, Lesley-- I'm not giving up a bit of hope yet. It's still early!

Denise and Tracie-- I keep going back and forth about the VIP thing. I'm trying to be frugal, so I did the free FF when DH was unemployed, but once he got a job I signed up for the 30 day membership, and now I'm thinking about keeping it. I don't "need" it, but I'm a freak about research, so I love using all the features.

My happy news: is here!!!!! Yes, I'm doin' the happy dance. I just feel so lucky that (like I've said before), with the help of TCOYF, charting, you lovely ladies, and a very responsive doctor, that there's actually hope that I could become PG this month. Had it not been for all of the above, I would've been in the dark about why I couldn't get PG. It was so comforting to get the big temp dip and then have AF show up a few hours later . . .I feel like a psychic (and sometimes a psycho).

[alexisyael]

Lesley It's still WAY too early! :

Korin - have fun camping!

So -- I had a thought about the list keeping, which is this: We can set up an alphabetical list of everyone who feels able to keep the list for one week at a time. We would rotate through the list... if you are unable to take the list when it comes around to you, you put an X after your name, and then you need to take 2 weeks instead of one the next time.

I'm going to create a thread dedicated to this, so if you are capable of keeping the list, please sign up!

BTW, I think the British are on the French system of sizing -- where A, B, C and D are all the same, but then DD is E DDD is F ect... And yes, as a large C verging on a D, I still feel perky. Not as much as I was as a B mind you, but enough. BF's gonna change that, but isn't that what pushup bras are for? :LOL

Anyway, since some of you aren't on the hair diversion thread, I though I'd repeat an offer I made: send me your picture and I will make up a TTC web page, where we can put names to faces...

Belly Blessings!

[mama2m&m]

that's a great idea alexis. put me down. are they still looking for someone this week? i have a 4-day weekend so i should have extra time LOL.

perky boobs. are there really such a thing? : i haven't seen those in a long while. but that's okay LOL.

shannon :

well dh found his LOVE note and called me! he never calls me at work LOL so that was quite pleasant and he sounds quite excited oh i'm so excited! LOL. lucky him gets to go out to lunch on the company!

miz, the features are fun but i find i don't use most of them. the thing i like best is that it counts the dpo for me so i don't have to keep recounting. the ohter thing is that my ovulation seemed fluky these last 2 months and i don't feel i got accurate coverlines. not that i could do much better LOL.

so far this cycle were in sync though LOL.

[mama2m&m]

Okay, it's me again. And like I said somewhere else, I'm wya to chatty today. Must be the lack of people in my office :

anyhow, someone sent me this and I JUST had to share with the greatest group of WOMEN!

11 PEOPLE ON A ROPE

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten
men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so
they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all
going to fall. They weren't able to name that person until the woman
gave a very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go
of the rope because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything
for her husband and kids, or for men in general, and was used to always
making sacrifices with little in return. As soon as she finished her
speech, all the men started clapping their hands.......

It's true...we do run the world!

[alexisyael]

Denise, you are on for this next week! Start a new thread on Sunday and we will join you!

And everyone else: to add your name to the list of volunteers, click here

(Denise and Korin, you are already on the list )

After everyone signs up, I'll be in charge of letting everyone know who's turn it iis...

[mama2m&m]

wow 22 pages and counting! okay you got it! sunday it is

[mama2m&m]

katy, i have access to all my charts, but i did wihtout vip as well. i could go back and look at charts into last year. now i could only "share" on chart on my home page though.

[BinahYeteirah]

Hello, all. This is Binah, and I am a long time lurker! Just delurking to get an opinon on my chart, even though I just know that everyone wil tell me to wait for next temps before anything can be determined.

When I entered my temp this morning, my o date went from CD 16 to CD 15. Those last two temps just seem so low for post-ovulatory for me. They don't look like a dip either. I was expecting my coverline to be taken away, and here it is a day earlier!

http://www2.fertilityfriend.com/home/4887e

I have so many days when I didn't temp due to Shabbos, Shavous, and some thrown out temps due to fever. I was so sure I o'd on CD 15-16, due to the "spotting" (it was some streaked ewcm), HSO cervix etc. THen I got somehig temps after that, but they were all taken after sleep deprivation (1-2 hours of sleep), or after sleeping in the car (we have been traveling and moving), etc. So basically I am dealing with every possible thing that could mess with my temps. CD 16 would be quite early for me to o, considering my last chart. This is only my second cycle pp, though, so really I'd consider nearly anything within the relam of "normal."

Anyway, blah, blah, blah!

I have to catch up on everyone's good news in the last, OH, 10 PAGES of this thread I've not managed to read.

TIA!

[Lousli]

Hi there,
I called my doc's office today and asked if I could take a test. I didn't speak to the doctor, only the receptionist. She said i could take one, but it probably wouldn't be a + until the first day of my missed period. I asked about a blood test, she said I probably couldn't get one since it is so early (even though I bet if I could talk to the doctor directly I could).

Should I bother? It would save me money on HPT's. LOL.

Or I could wait. yeah right.

Or I could fess up to my mom about how long I have really been trying and ask her to order me a blood test....

Edited to add: I caved. I called my mom, no answer. Called my dad, he says he will order a blood test for me. I'm going to ask him if they can do it STAT!!!

[mama2m&m]

binah welcome! i'm no expert though it looks like you o'd to me. not sure about the big dips though. maybe on sunday it'll go back up and then give you a more definitive answer. i'm sorry i'm not much help.

lesley, are we supposed to be talking you down or helping you to test early? if it were me, and if i already had the tests in my house, i'd probably wait another day or two -- i know as hard as it is -- and retest with an hpt.

if you truly can't wait and must have a blood test call your doctor back and say you got a positive and need a blood test to check for pg and progesterone levels. i'd use mom as a last resort if you're not intending her to know.

good luck!

or as korin and heve say == step away from the hpt!
