Velveteen-I'll most likely be on Clomid here soon also. Here's to hoping it works for both of us! :

Megan-:

Selissa-2 Did retail therapy help you any?

's and to all!

[SharonAnne]

I'm caught up with everyone; first of all, thank you all so very very much for your well wishes with the house situation. We are absolutely ecstatic, and it softened the blow when I rebooted on Saturday morning. So much for all that positive discharge :LOL

Our closing in 11/1, so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Can I be moved to waiting to O?

No personals, but, Melissa, an astrologer cannot tell you how many kids you're gonna have. I've studied astrology for years. That kind of info just isn't there, hon, and if someone tells you it is, they're quacks.

[annakiss]

Melissa - I was going to tell you (and forgot) that urine is sterile (you can drink it) and you could always pee in like a glass jar and wash it. I also have tests that require peeing in a cup and I remembered the applesauce cups (ds grabbed 'em in the grocery and I was like "ok..."), so I will be saving one of those for when the time comes (and it ain't here yet).

Megan - :

A big 2 for all of the recent reboots. It is odd that everyone's all synched up. I'm sure it's just temporary.

I'd be willing to give y'all the BFP, but the time just hasn't come yet. If I test this early, it'll definitely be negative. But, there is more credence to my twins theory - the night before I actually came up with that theory I had a dream that I was carrying around quints (though they were my sister's). I had my baby (? - not ds) in a sling, and then was trying to pick up three of my sister's baby buckets (ugh) in my arms and push two more in a shopping cart. Some girl came up to me with a baby bucket under her arm and said, "why do you always carry your baby?" It was weird. But it was the quints that struck me, despite the fact that they were in baby buckets and belonged to my sister. They were all girls, btw.

I asked my husband, "what if we had twins?" He said, "we'd be in trouble. we'd be done also. absolutely. no questions asked." Then he said I'd be in trouble. I didn't like that.

DS just climbed on me and he stinks. must go.

Very interesting dream, Anna!!! Thanks for all the book rec.'s, too. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you.. : There are so many to choose from! AND, I'm SO GLAD to know about the inter-library loan. There is not one branch inm y area that has "Birthing From Within". The used bookstare has TCOYF for 11.00. Is that a good price?

You guys have me all swept up in all thoughts pregnancy. I have been reading so much on it and watchingthe thread that I feel like *I'm* waiting to know! :LOL

Anyways, hang in there ya'll.

Oh and Anna, re: Jon's comment about how you'll be in trouble... I hate it when men say stupid stuff like that!

Cd 13

Hugs 2 to all the reboots.

Anna -- which one sinks and which one floats again? I cant find the old post. I think its EWCM that sinks right?

Well I know the 2ww is LONG but the waiting O wait is killing me right now. Mostly because I dont know when I will -- my cycle has been getting shorter since my first PPAF returned 4 months ago.

So we are just GIO EVERY night! Sounds fun but its not. Well it is for DH but I am tired! Luckily he has super sperm so I am not too worried about doing it *too* often.

I am paying way too much attention to my body now - my temp is crazy -- pretty big hike in temp on Sun. then back way low today. I dont have the free trial of FF VIP anymore so it doesnt really tell me anything but I just keep entering my temps like a good girl

Those SaveOn tests were so weird that I thought if I were try one again, I would do the pee in a cup thing, and I am too cheap to buy paper cups just for this. Tried to scam some from my mom's house today, with no luck (didn't want to raise any suspicions!) and have just been looking through my kitchen for something I could pee in and then throw away. I think I landed on something that carried soup once for Chinese take-out.

How silly am I? No siller than the rest of us, I guess....

That is SO funny! I would do the same thing though - or you could line something in saran wrap! LOL!

Anna -- one of DHs friends wife is having twins -- happend naturally and they have a DD who will be 3 in Jan. (the twins are due in Nov.)

It would be crazy and fun and hard for a while but SO fun when they were older.

My DH would say the same thing -- we are done which would make me sad since I just loved being preggo and if I were to have three kids I would want to get to be preggo three times. Silly I know!

I was just thinking that too! So weird that everyone is so on with eachother.

I dont think I am sleeping well enough to temp accurately. Maxi just wakes me up TOO many times a night and even though I dont technically "get up" for three hours prior to temping I know the being awake/moving around/nursing is affecting it.

Sorry for the million posts --I am trying to catch up since I cant on weekends.

[Meli65]

cd 1

Add me to the reboot list.

Thanks for the astrology info Sharon Anne -- that is really most helpful! That's the most burning question I have right now about my life -- everything else is going great (well, dh could get a raise but I think that's in his hands, not the stars ).

Question for you veterans -- since it's all systems go now, and since I'm feeling old and creaky, do you think I should spring for OPKs, and if so, what kind? I will temp and chart, too but I feel like I should give this my all (although I don't know that I can match Anna Kiss's GIO schedule ). Please let me know what you think -- thanks!

11 dpo

: can't take the waiting....must know NOW!

can you telll patience isn't my virtue??? LP is usually 13 days so i should know for sure by Thursday......

so sorry for all the recent reboots. 2

meli65 - i say spring for the OPK's....i bought a bunch off of www.accuratepregnancytests.com the strips are dirt cheap.

[MamanFrancaise]

I'm having a terrible night.

I was fine up until I went to look at my Ovusoft chart and realized that I had put in the wrong CM on CD 11. So I changed it and then all of a sudden it changed my O date to what I had originally thought it was and said I'm pregnant.

So I got all excited and took a test and it was negative.

I know deep down that I'm not pregnant but I got caught up in the moment and felt hope again and then was let down AGAIN by a BFN.

Ugh. I'm going to go change the CM back to what I had so I don't stare at the chart that says I'm pregnant when obviously I'm not.

[allgirls]

well this looks a little promising...hubby was home on the weekend and we gio a lot!...he is only here on weekends so it's always hit and miss...anyway, since Friday I have had lovely CM and my cervix is nice and ready for O...kinda hoping we hit it...if not this month will be over soon...it will be early O though but with all the supplements then just maybe...

Oh and all the GIO was really good...my drive was at it's peak...usually a sign of impending O...now let's just hope one of those swimmers does the job!

eta...I had cramping yesterday, bloating today along with sore nipples when baby nursed plus cramping again tonight...all signs of impending O...yay...I am temping but not showing anything but of course it wouldn't until after O...so if I get a good temp in next few days I will get a little encouraged...

[annakiss]

Morgan - your temps still look fine to me. I think you're temping fine. One out-of-whack temp does not a chart make. Just keep going. It will work... Oh yes - EWCM sinks, semen floats.

Bex, so glad that I was of help. I was wondering, but I'm not mad or anything. Glad you told me here though. Yeah, Inter-library loan is da bomb. $11 bucks ain't bad for TCOYF. I think I paid $14 on half.com. I did talk to Jon about his comment about me being in trouble. I smacked him around a bit. :LOL I explained that I hoped he was full of it because I thought this whole parenting thing was a joint effort, not me flying solo, because if it's me by myself then what the hell is the point of having a partner? He's not my frigging sperm donor, you know? But he just said that he meant that until he finishes his PhD and starts at a job, yadda yadda yadda, it's still going to be me at home a lot with the kids. And I was all like, "you douchebag." He's usually such a feminist, I don't know what his problem is. I mean, I see his point in a way, but he's still a douchebag. Can I say douchebag here? : :LOL

Melissa - man that blows. Hang in there. Don't take up my GIO schedule. It stinks. If you have predictable cycles (more so than mine) then you won't have to, or feel like you have to. Remarkably, I actually had sex with my husband a couple of days ago (?) for fun. It was nice. Since I've O'd, he's actually been all frisky and I've been like, "you douchebag." :LOL

Jodi - HOLD ON, girl! Just a few more days and all your questions will be answered. Find something to distract yourself. (I should really do the same myself, this twin theory is makin' me want to know NOW)

Erika - I'm so sorry. Big big s I hope that things become more clear. I looked at your chart and the ovusoft version of CD11 just doesn't make sense to me.

Carolyn - good luck to you. You seem like quite the fertile one, so I'm sure you'll be outta here soon enough!

As for me - during a bm today I had a big gob of what looked like EWCM and I was like, I gues now that I think about it, it could have been leftover semen from the other night, but it seems like an awfully long time for that. Anyway, when I put it in as EWCM, FF made my line dotted, which is bs. http://www2.fertilityfriend.com/home/4b049 I sound like such a valley girl tonight, eh? I suppose I should just take it out and forget about it, write it off as semen. Will probably do that...

Been crampy all day today. Tonight I went to an About Birth Choices group meeting way the hell out in bfe and met 2 women with twins! How weird is that? I went out for coffee afterwards with some of the women (and the 2 w/twins) and I mentioned that I was in the 2ww and told them about my slight temp rise and then the real temp rise 2 days later and how I thought it was half and egg and then the other half and everyone (even the ones w/out twins) were like, "no, more like two eggs - more like twins." So see, I'm not full of it. But the idea of twins is a bit freaky to me, nonetheless. At this point, however, I just wanna be pregnant. I've been thinking about it since I joined this thread in April and it's just starting to wear on me. This struggle between wanting to hope, but not wanting to hope too much is annoying. I also don't want to complain too much about it since I've only been trying a short while.

to all!

Hey Melissa, I would spring for the OPk's too! If you have the money (buy it on ebay) get a Clear Blue Fertility monitor.

[dinade]

Good morning ladies...

boot me to waiting to know. I o'd on Sunday. So we'll see. 2 to those who got rebooted. to those who got BFN, :celebrate to those with BFP. May we all get the babies we so long for. 2 dust

[allgirls]

I love the "reboot" over the "AF" term!

Sad to those who "rebooted" though...(((HUGS)))

We all have little babies waiting for us...

AnnaKiss...I know a lady who had the same pattern, was pregnant, her son insisted it was 2 babies...sure enough...twins!!!

I think you might be reading it right...now whether both fertilize that's the thing...

I am positive I have had that as well...but not ttc...I charted regularly for a long time as birth control and there were months...it's not all that farfetched...

I used to be extremely fertile...we share the soap, I get pregnant but might be a little harder this time with hubby away so much, me being older (38!) and nursing...but it's always fun trying!

[SharonAnne]

Warning, big fat whine ahead:

For the past year, all I've heard from people is "RELAX." That makes me mad.

Well, someone has taken the place of the well meant "releax"

Now, I hear, "Oh, you'll get pregnant while you're moving. You won't be so focused on it. You'll be paying attention to the moving and it will take all your time, so you'll get pregnant, that's the way it always goes."

OMG people SHUT UP ALREADY! I'm getting especially upset at this when it comes unsolicited, as it has been coming for the past few days. It seems like everyone who I tell about the house tells me that the baby is next, because I won't be so "worried" about it. Goodness gracious already. Bite Me.

Whine over. Thanks for indulging me.

Well, yeah, but I'm indulging myself at the moment. Lord only knows why.
