Good Morning!

First off:

: Congratulations Serina!! :

I love good news in the morning.

One thing this thread always needs is MORE 's!! There will never be enough.

Things are moving slowly this morning. I'm just exhausted. We were up late (for us) last night finishing the last touch-ups on the paint in our bedroom. Hopefully we can move our bed and dressers back in there tonight. We've been camping out in the den which is fine, but our room is our room, KWIM?

Once again, I must reiterate: NEVER BUY BEHR PAINT AT HOMEDEPOT!!

I recorded The Amazing Race last night on TiVo and I'm dying to watch it! It's my favorite reality show, maybe even my just plain favorite show (except for The Simpsons, which is in a class by itself). If you like watching shows that go into relationships AND show you wonderful things from around the world you should check it out. (two thumbs up!).

Check me out, I'm not obsessing about my chart! I'm doing much better than I had hoped.

Cd 12

I have to be fast but I wanted to thank you SO very much for the support!

Jess, woo hoo on the promotion!

Jodi: Thanks for making me feel loved!!!!

Amy: I know what you mean about at least something being different. It's the same old, same old that can leave a person feeling miserable.

Jess, I'm always so glad to read your posts . . .glad you're back!

Alexis-- I need to read your message board again. I'm such not the horndog. I think my peak ended a long time ago. Plus, we have to coordinate things so that my DD AND my mom are busy/asleep. Ugh.

Serina-- YAAAAAAY on the +!!!!!! How lovely that you got to tell your family in person!

Marie: I have absolutely every part of myself crossed for good luck. This sounds so very, very promising! I'm sending the gooiest vibes you can imagine! BTW, my friend who just got a strong + has been cramping even before the + (even the day she got the +), and so far so good!

Trisha: So sorry you're rebooting-- your chart looked so promising.

Katy: It's amazing how different healthcare is! When DH was unemployed, my #1 fear was our healthcare. We paid for our own, but there was no guarantee that it was worth anything. When DH got a job, I literally kissed our new health insurance cards.

Megan: I am really hoping it's too early and that you get your BFP!

Velveteen and Erika: I think we're all cycle buddies! And Erika, lemme see the link to the site that you worked on so that I can admire your work!

I'm sure I missed people . . .hugs to all!

[MamanFrancaise]

I'm still here - lurking and reading... not much time to post even though I haven't left my computer in like daaaaayys. Congrats to the BFP! I think I am Oing today. Have been GIO like rabbits lately and I feel completely different about this cycle - totally calm and relaxed and just not caring - but I do care - I just am not feeling the pressure.

Anyhoo... gotta run... take care!

Megan...KHA for you!!!

MamanFrancaise (my mind is gone, I can't remember anyone's names from their sig lines!!!)... it sounds like you're on a more serene level this time around, good for you!!!

Muse .. .thanks my cd 1 was May 29! Argh! I tested positive late when I was pg with my older ds...it's so aggrivating to have to wait to find out either way. I'm in no way a patient person when it comes to these things! (As in, as soon as we considered having another child, I insisted we start discussing names! )

:yawning: I just took a nap with the kids again...I never nap during the day... hmmmmm....

Jess...thanks for the link...my kids are almost as fascinated as I am!

[Joi]

Temp is the same as yesterday.............. I um may have POAS and got a big BFN. I know it's too early I know I know :



I am trying to stay positive. Trying to do like Dori says.

[Johanna]

Serina & Marie

[alexisyael]

I'll echo Johanna, cause it feels like the right thing to do:

Serina and Marie

And here's a daily dose of sticky for all our mamas-to-be (cause I haven't seen Korin yet, so I'm filling in for her):

Miz, I need to start posting more tips on my board... it's hard to remember...

OK, we're going tfor a walk, so I'm going now -- I'll be back!

Belly Blessings!

[chiromama]

Hey all, I only have a few minutes... I'm off to a networking luncheon, then a meeting. I may have more time later... but we shall see.

Thanks to all who weighed in on my issue on my LJ.

Serina... Woo Hoo Congrats!!

Maya, Raven, Kate and Shannon....

Joi.... Ummm YOU TESTED WAY TOO EARLY!!!! But I forgive you.

Yesterday the ND that works in my office came in with a bunch of new supplies... and among them, a huge box of HTPs. . Now I'm really gonna want to test early.

Ok, Now i am officially late for my luncheon. to all!!

I'm thinking about stopping charting, the last 2 months we have GIO at just the right time and I was so excited to think that we had timed it perfectly but it didn't work and now i'm wondering if it's worth the stress

Ah, ignore me, just feeling a bit sorry for myslef this week, post camp blues I think!

You know, I just had to stop charting and such. I was obsessing. And I know some people stress more when they don't and it helps them get a sense of control. But it was just too hard on me. If nothing else you could always quit for a cycle and see how you feel about it.

Don't feel stupid, we all go through it. I was holding a baby on the 4th crying my eyes out. I think we've all been there And we're all here now for you.

[May-lily]

Well I know it's stupid but I couldnot resist after buying more tests and I got a negative (no faint line even) so now I'm confused and frustrated and mad at myself. But if I'm not pregnant I'd rather know and just wait for af. But dman it I did not make up that line, however faint it was, my dh saw it oo and it's still there. It can't be evaporation line in nine minutes can it?
The scary thing is that the second test was supposed to be more sensitive, so I kinda of expected (hoped) for a more visible line, but of course, it was afternoon and not that long since I'd peed. I should know better.

KateB, sorry about your blabbermouth friend. I hate when people do that (though I'm sure I've done it too)

Korin, Erika and Jess, you sound so busy! I'm glad you can at least escape to us a little.

Jo, sorry about the boob pain. I wish mine hurt more, but I'm sure that would get old pretty fast!

hugs to all

Cd 1

I'm still so behind here, but I just wanted to pop in and say that I've been lurking and I'll probably be back full swing next week - just so much going on!

Congratulations Serina!!! : : : :

Lots of clear vibes for you Marie!! : The whole 7/7, 14th cycle thing would just be so cool!

Trisha

Maya - so sorry, but also very happy that the m/s is setting in for you!

amarasmom - for you and vibes

KatyB - not stupid at all! How agonizing!

I know there are more things to say, but it just all went out of my head, so general for those who need them!

It's FINALLY CD 1 for me. I had two days of spotting and wasn't sure if it was going to turn into AF or not, but it's official now. I'm actually very glad about it and looking forward to this cycle (and : that this cycle will be normal - or at least less than 60 days!). Don't know if it will be my cycle or not, but if it's at least more normal I'll be happy with that for now.

Sending out lots of for everyone! Keep those BFPs coming!!

[Shorin_Mama]

Marie, you are violating all of the cardinal rules of testing. Afternoon unconcentrated pee? Who the heck do you think you are?

What are we going to do with her, ladies?



















We'd better not punish her because then we'd ALL have to get in line for a spanking. :

Jess

[prophetmother]

cd27!!!!!!!

Today is cd27 about 14 dpo and I haven't accomplished a single thing all day... My cat Lilo is in heat and she's getting on my nerves.


You all are a great diversion! So funny with each other. I'm still trying to figure out all the inside jokes!

QQ- What is pg CM supposed to be like?

[Stone Fence]

We don't all need to get in line.

Alexis is exempt! She is the queen of not testing

Quite right, but can we spank her for making us wait for her to test? The nerve!

CD 12 - to GIO or not to GIO

I usually O on CD13, but last month O'd later. DH is not the every day kind of guy, so I figure if we GIO tonight, that's our last shot for this cycle. But, if we wait till tomorrow, we might be too late. Ugh!

to all the positives. And for all who need them.

Marie - I've got my : for you.

I know I had more to say, but I'm seriously lacking in brain cells these days...

[phoebekate]

9dpo

Yay Marie!! Sticky baby vibes for you, it's great your DH got to see the test before he left! Oh no, I just read that your retest was a BFN, but surely you really need to test with FMU when its still early?

RaggedyAnn - sorry about the reboot

Sarah - i hope this is your month! the higher temps sounds like a good sign. FF gave me 3/21 as an EDD if this is my cycle - so we would be due very close together!

Amanda - I hope this is your month, it must suck to know that you test late and just have to keep waiting!! I have NO patience when it comes to uncertainty, none at all.

I POAS this morning because when I woke up this morning I thought "hmm I had a really sore left ovary two days before my temp rise - maybe I am really 10 dpo - better test". I could rationalise myself into anything. BFN, no surprises there. DD was a surprise so I was probably 21dpo when I thought to test, so I have no idea when the earliest I might test is, and I have never charted before and always had long irregular cycles, so I don't have any idea how long my lp is either....

[jocmtl]

Checking in...

I cranked out that article at lightning speed... I only hope I won't hate it when it finally comes out! It was hard to concentrate and I had to force myself not to obsess about pg on the Internet.

Muse: we are cycle buddies, sorta. My cd1 was June 9th, which means my dd would be March 15 (except knowing the date of the iui, I'm figuring more like 13).

Jess- I LOVE The Amazing Race!! I've been waiting for it to come back so long! I'd love to work for that show, doing what I have no idea. Something cool. Last night's episode will not disappoint!

Never tried Berh, but my dp swears we'll never use Martha Stewart again. Hard to clean, chips easily, but then again, our wall are fairly new and pourous, so who knows?

KatyB: That wasn't stupid at all. I hate when people are cavalier about asking these kinds of questions. They mean well, but it's insensitve.

OK, going out for a healthy dinner with a friend . Ciao all!
