Kellie & eatveggies-----

Welcome!!!

Age? Are you part of a couple or using a sperm donor? Do you have other children? Do you have a link to a chart? Would you like an angel next to your name to signify your MC. Anything else you'd like included?

Yeah I noticed it's been kind of dead lately too. I just don't know if I can handle going back to not being able to use the snooze button. Plus, when the alarm woke me up at the same time all week long, I wanted to go to bed earlier so I wouldn't be so exhausted, and that left less time for DTD since my husband stays up late. It was almost counterproductive. Or should I say counter reproductive?

Just turned 26
Been married for going on 3 months to my wonderful DH who is 28
No other children, we were planning to wait 2-3 years to have them, but got pregnant on our amazing honeymoon, lost the baby at 11weeks and now we can't wait to get pregnant again.
This is my chart, with TCOYF http://www.tcoyf.com/chart.asp?id=kellihope
Sure, an angel would be great. Do you put a date? Her (we didn't know the sex, but call her a her and named her Hope) EDD was July 3 and we lost her 12/12.

Other things to include. . .DH and I own a farm in Vermont where we raise Grass-Fed Lamb & Pastured Poultry. Our website is www.ShuttleworthFarm.com

Thanks!

What the heck...it's Monday somewhere... TaraRae, thank you for starting the new thread. Can you add me to the list? I'm 27 and my partner and I are trying to conceive our first together.

Monday Check in:
Name: rainface
Date: 1/3/08
Where are you at in your cycle: CD 2 of my second "real" cycle after going off birth control.
Appointments: nope
Symptoms if they apply: I'm just "reveling" in the company of AF at the moment
Testing: I got a negative test on new years eve and went out and enjoyed my champagne and wine. Now I'm back and ready to go on round 2.
Thoughts: I got a good example of the importance of communication yesterday with my bf. He was worried that I didn't really want to get pregnant since we had such a good time on new years after my negative test. He thought that I was happy that night because I wanted to run away. We've been having a lot of stress lately for various reasons and we have a crazy family situation so we've had a little less time to connect. Poor boy. I love him so and I feel bad that he worried about how I was feeling until we had a chance to talk.

Can I be added? I guess I would go under "waiting to O," although it's technically next cycle that we're going to be ttc. I am trying to be good - trying this cycle would result in an edd that's exactly the same as my husband's birthday and we didn't want that!

I'm 27, this will be number 3 - one 7 yo dd and one three-in-March ds. And here is my chart!

[TaraRae82]

KelliHope, rainface, and Patchfire--you've been added! Please make sure I got chart links correct and everything is spelled correctly. I hope your stays are short and sweet!

Monday Check-in... Late.

Name: Connie
Date: Thurs 1/3/08
Where are you at in your cycle: CD 56
Appointments: None
Symptoms if they apply: Spotting on CD 51, Sore BBs, kind of moody, tired (that could be due to Christmas vacation and since we were visiting family we never see, we stayed up late and got up early every day.) Overall, nothing that screams BFP.
Testing: I tested on Saturday the Dec 30th, it was clearly BFN. I'm debating about testing again on Monday- that is our anniversary and if my some chance I am preggo, then it would be a great anniversary gift for DH.
Thoughts: I have no clue whats going on. (Hm, this seems to be a recurring theme this cycle.) Anyway, my temps were all out of whack before we left and then I thought I forgot my thermometer and now I can't find it- so no temping as of late. The spotting has me SOO confused, it was just a tiny bit- not enough to be anywhere near AF, but definitly there. I had a LONG cycle after going off BC, but it souldn't be happening now! I wish I could just shrug and say, "ah well, I'll know everything soon enough." But its wearing on me. If I'm not preggers I just want AF and if I am I just want a BFP!!

Changes made. Let me know your chart link when you get it!

[Snow~Pea]

TaraRae thanks so much for starting the january thread! I was lurking today, and getting very jealous of everyone that can log on during the day. I am a little afraid of even going on this site at work, but wouldn't dare logging in!

Here you go! I started charting late this month.

[SimplyRochelle]

Tara, will ya move me back to actively trying? We didn't really take a break, I just got really depressed and all that fun. Pretty over it now and although we still want a baby, we've just both realized we have all the time in the world so things are going to be much more relaxed now. Sporadic charting I'm sure.

[TaraRae82]

Update to here!

Also, in the PG catagory, is there anyone who's already delivered that's still on the list? It looks like it goes back a long way and hasn't been updated in a while. I didn't know if I should be "cleaning house" or not.

Can I Join?

My name is "R". (well, it's my nickname, I prefer it)
I have 2 girls, TTC #3 with help from a friend.
I'm a single mom by choice.
I was sooooo thinking I got the egg this past cycle, but after 4 evaps AF started today!
Looking forward to a new cycle though.
I'm on CD 1 today!

xposted from the One thread:

I got my BFP this afternoon

...but I don't feel happy at all. I think AF is on her way and this is going to turn into a chemical. I feel totally PMSy now and my cervix is just like it is when AF is about to arrive. I am sure I would have a temp drop tomorrow morning if I temped.

I just don't know what to do. I just can't feel glad, because I am certain it's not going to stick and it's just... ugh.. I don't know if I can continue on with this trying to conceive stuff. I am 20 years old, shouldn't having a baby be easy??

: I want it to stick SO bad. I just know it won't.

Life is so unfair.

[Sioko]

Ssshhhh MissWorld.... It's not over till the red lady debuts right??
You have a positive, B POSITIVE! I know it's scary. I've had 3 m/c now after my two breezy pregnancies. 2 of them were ectopic. Every period I get is scary because each ectopic started out as a "normal" period. Every cramp seems to threaten my life. And now, I'm trying for and am afraid of a BFP. I just know it'll be in the wrong place again, and I'll have to go through that......

But the thing is, that's just my fear! Remind yourself of that. Know the difference between fear and reality! I know it's hard to keep the two seperate, I struggle with it often, but you have to try. Just believe you're ok until you see differently. I don't know if you believe or not, just take it as my good intentions, but I will pray for you!
