They're pruning the bigass red maple in our yard. Seriously, the thing took up 1/3 of the entire yard, but it looked so nice. Now it is all denuded and stuff, and RIGHT DURING LEAF CHANGING SEASON YOU GUYS. I am crying.

For some reason I always cry about trees. I still have a piece of bark from the pear tree in my parents' yard (it got cut down). I think I must be a :

I sorta caved. had a really pathetic night...convinced my period was coming (because you know...temping at night means JACK SHIT!) - and so went out for mexican and margaritas..mmmmmmmmmmm. I only had 2 at the most...small glasses...just enough for a nice buzz. I slept like a BABY (GOD I NEEDED THAT!)...and this morning had a temp rise.

go figure.

so now im really confused. BFN - im 13dpo....and no red to be seen.

Zen, I really don't think that two margaritas will have a dramatic effect on the baby. don't sweat it!

Oh, hey Zen, can you manage knitting today? I know you've said it relaxes you, and I found last weekend when I was at the end of the 2WW and UBERSTRESSED that I was knitting kind of furiously but at least it was something else to focus on.

I've actually jumped into a project "Sheep Dreams" (you can look it up in ravelry!). it has been a huge help!!

thanks for the suggestion ;-) it does have a calming effect for me....

[binkin]

Oh, that's cute! I'm just working on the 1000 pairs of mitts I have in my queue. I may spend some time this weekend knitting for myself, though that MIGHT have to wait until after the holidays.

[binkin]

so quiet today.

I'm pissed. We did DH's part of the Fertell test (the SA) today, and... it didn't work! No control line. So I can call and get a replacement, I guess, but... it sucks, because then I have to wait for the damn thing to arrive, and make sure DH hasn't given up the little swimmers within 2 days, and ALSO? It TAKES NINETY FREAKIN' MINUTES to run the FREAKIN' TEST. So we have been sitting here all hungry waiting for dinner and for no reason! YAY.

[anonyma]

Okay, so I take a day off from obsessively reading this thread, and ZEN!!!

Your chart! OMG - it looks so good. Now I'm all worried that you'll abandon us for the DDCs, and then I WOULD have to stalk them.

Woodlandfairytale, everyone's said what I would have said, so I'll just repeat whoever (Olerica?) said that you are where you are, and that doesn't make you a downer at all. One of the amazing things about being human is the ability to feel emotions you thought were contradictory at the same time. You'll be a good aunt, and you'll love that baby and be proud of your sister, and be sad and hopeful for yourself, and all of that is okay. Hugs to you.

warning: navel-gazing ahead...

so here's my thing.

i may, *may* be ovulating in the next day or so according to an opk taken yesterday. on monday i go under for an impacted wisdom tooth removal (which was supposed to be done, like, 7 years ago and became horrendously painful with each pregnancy- word to your mother (heh heh)- get your dental work done BEFORE getting pregnant.) so if i DO ovulate, say, tomorrow (which would be really early for me) then i'm maybe taking a huge risk by going under a general anesthesia (and no, a local is not an option with how badly this one is impacted- it may case permanent nerve damage to my lip and tongue as it is) and being on painkillers for the next week. or does it matter if you have these kinds of traumas *before* implantation? and you know? i'm probably not ovulating despite the positive opk and i probably won't become pregnant in the next week, but a girl has to worry about SOMEthing, you know?

lordy.

[binkin]

I shouldn't think it matters before implantation -- there's no connection between blood supplies at that point, so I wouldn't think twice about it.

And uh, good advice. I have no idea what they're going to tell me on Monday. I hope it's nothing too horrifying like they have to dig around up in my jaw or something. ALHGSDLKHG.

[freezehead]

oooo- what are you going in for binkin?

Well, see. One of my molars on the top left had a filling that was about half the tooth. It had fallen out and been replaced several times, and I was going to get a crown for it, but then I got laid off and divorced and had no dental insurance. And it's been about, oh, five years since the filling fell out the last time, so it's kind of half-missing on a diagonal, with a nice deep hole. I had a toothache from hell the other day, which finally induced me to call the frickin' dentist. I'm escared, because it's been like this for so long, and I have just adapted to the constant low-grade pain on that side of my face, you know? I'm terrified to go in and have them be like "ooh, bad infection and nerve damage and oooh"

You're not going to have any x-rays on Monday, are you? If not, I guess the only thing I'd worry about is the type of painkillers they put you on. The general shouldn't make any difference so far as implantation is concerned, I wouldn't think.

I sympathize with you though -- I had three out this summer, after putting it off for ten freakin' years (largely because I was chicken at first and then pregnant/nursing for a good few years after). We took the month off of TTC because I would have been about 2 weeks along and I just wanted to be extra careful.

Oh yeah, and ladies. Seriously. Listen to freezehead. Get the dental work done NOW. When the blood flow increases and your gums swell, all those things you've been ignoring for years start to haunt you.

[jillybeans]

ick! All this talk about mouth surgery makes my teeth hurt.

Zen, a little cuervo never hurt anyone. I'm sure babes will be fine! (and will show their face soon!)

Ok, your description kind of grosses me out (mouth things make me squeamish -- whenever I'm at the dentists, I want to ask the hygenist whether she needs major meds to get through the day, because I would!) but I'm hoping it's not too painful.

[major bedhead]

Zen, don't worry about the cuervo. I tied more than a couple on while in the TWW with both boys, and they're both fine. I know lots of women who didn't even know they were pregnant until they were in their second month, and all of their kids are great. A good sleep is probably what you needed anyway!

Sorry about the gross description

sitting here patiently(not!!!) waiting for Zen's BFP

Go out and buy a good test.When I got mine the dollar tree came up neg but the cvs one gave me a faint line

hello to everyone else

[peanutbuttercup]

Good morning everyone.
Nothing to report here. Just hanging out with AF for another day or so. How are you all?
I am a little bummed...just found out James Taylor is doing a free concert in Asheville tonight supporting Obama, and I missed the opportunity to get tickets. They're all gone...Oh, Ruby would have loved it. She'd have been the dancing queen .
I'm waiting as patientily as possible for Zen...and I'm silently chanting bfp.bfp.bfp.bfp.bfp.bfp.bfp.bfp.bfp.bfp.

[minimunklemama]

looks like I'm coming back,I so wasn't expecting this.I was really worried before as I had two losses each after a successful pg but my intuition told me that I would be fine this time.Guess I can't trust myself
I am not hanging onto hope either as it is like I am bang in the middle of my AF
