OMG Zen you are friggin KILLING me!!! TEST girl!

Your chart looks awesome, your symptoms sound good to me, and shyt, you started an October thread on sept 10? Sounds like you were setting yourself up to me!

OMG I'm dying....can't go to Vegas....need to know....

By the way, what is your due date? it will be my lucky # this weekend for roulette. No shyt. And if I win big, I'll buy you my fave baby gift. Seriously.

[zenproofstella]

just kidding.

i am weak.

BFN. And yes - in case you are wondering - it was an 'early test'.

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! ack.

why am I not surprised??? i probably didn't ovulate until like day 25 or some crap - and i'm just having a long cycle.

boo hiss.

oh well - nothing I can do!

[goin' green]

Damn Zen - I totally feel like this is YOUR month!!!! What if you change your o date in FF and overlay it - what does your cycle look like then? If it was day 25, it's still early and doesn't mean it's over yet!

HUGS!!!!!!!!

[binkin]

I dunno, Zen, that chart still looks pretty damn good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Stupid BFNs, seriously.

I need some coffee. Until I feel up to going downstairs and retrieving some, I shall prop my eyelids open and try to form sentences.

gbutt - heh. You know, I'm trying REALLY hard to just accept myself as-is even while I work on improving, so posting that pic was kinda part of the experiment. It sure as hell isn't going on my Flickr or anywhere that an ex might see it, though. Ahem. I love that tattoo, too (good thing since it's HUGE and TAKING UP MOST OF MY THIGH). Here is a better pic of it! And yes I will take any excuse to show it off, because it took f-ing forever to get, and nobody ever sees it because it hides under my pants. Gah. I have another as well, just says "seraphim" in Elvish kinda at the base of my neck.

eeeeveryone who has posted a photo so far is seriously super-hot. We're all so awesome! Cute AND hilarious? Hello? The universe needs our babies, that's all I'm sayin'.

Zen - thanks much, my BFF and I used to spend a lot of time acting like we were Weird Al and making up new words to songs. I also dislike Fergie, most of the time, but that song is gen-ius because it's HORRIBLE and possibly the worst song ever and yet... it's so catchy. I mean seriously, "lady lumps?" The hell?

As for moi, my temp went up a wee bit this morning, though not to where it was before, and no spotting. But it's early yet, so we shall see as the day goes on.

[goin' green]

Binkin - meant to add - yes, that song is HORRIBLE, but yours is AWESOME!!! Seriously! I LOVE it!

[zenproofstella]

OK - I voted. I gave you worst case scenario and said CD25. I mean, you had the + OPK and EWCM earlier, so maybe your body was gearing up to O, then you got sick, and you didn't end up O'ing, and you O'd after you got better...I still think you're pregs.

Binkin Yes, your song is AMAZING. freaking hilarious. And - I know, I know... I have a strange affinity for Fergie. Don't ask me why. The worse, the song, the more I like it. And the tatoo is beautiful.

goingreen Go to Vegas, relax, live it up, have fun, and forget about TTC. This might be your last weekend of recklessness before you are pregs!

AFM I tested this AM too. 5 dpo. I know. dumb. I tested w/ an OPK and preg test (both internet cheapies). The OPK line was almost as dark as a +. The Preg test was totally negative. ARGH WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Acckkk,you are as bad as me!!!I was going crazy and tested this morning and of course it was -.Man,I should just sit on my hands
I am off to pee on an opk to see what happens!!LOL
I have no idea what it means,I just wanted to let you know that you weren't alone in your madness

[minimunklemama]

Ooh, tell me what happens with the OPK!!

BTW, I love your picture...

I have a secret crush on all of you because you are so hot!!

[minimunklemama]

p.s
I still think that you are preggers ZEN!!

[RABITGRL]

Zen- I still think you are preggers. Those HPTs don't know everything.

Evertyone- you are all so beautiful, it's amazing really how many foxy ladies have been drawn to this one thread.

Binkin- I now you said you can't wear a bikini but maybe you should so the world can see your sweet tattoo. I love it!

As for me I am totally confused by my chart. I was thinking anovulatory but then my temp has been up the last two days. I should have never started temping cause I think I might be loosing it. Yesterday I found myself with two thermometers in my mouth at the same time, just to see if they said the same thing. Definetely developing a problem.

[RABITGRL]

oops typo!

Why were you thinking annovulatory? I definitely think that you might have ovulated around CD19. The next few days' temps will help you tell for sure.

[Aufilia]

Zen -- Try CD25.

Rabbit -- I agree, looks like you likely ovulated around CD19.


Bought some HPTs last night but declined to pee on them this morning. Maybe tomorrow. My temp is either up slightly or down slightly depending on whether I input the one I took at 4:15 or the one I took at 5:15. Symptoms are so non-existant I can't pretend I've got any.

I say you def. have ovulated...on day 20.

i have to step away....

I love, love, love your tatoos. What is the one on your neck? What does it read? And the one on your thigh? How long did THAT sucker take? Very beautiful. I really want another, but I just can't get my head around what I want... : on the higher temp.

I voted. I think it was CD23, but it's so hard to tell with the illness RIGHT when you O'd. I think you have a few days. Maybe committ to testing on Tuesday if no AF (stay away, curse you).

Huh. 5 DPO and you got a + OPK? I donno. Weird though.
RabitGrl: I think you O'd between CD17 and CD19 too!

Me, I'm emotionally better, but still a little crabby (not as bad as yesterday). STILL waiting to O.

[valeria_vi]

wow, guys! it's impossible for me to keep up with so many posts.
I have to say, shamefully, that when I used to work, I spent much more time on the computer then I do now. At work, there's a lunch break, a slow day, a headache day, a not much to do (rarely, but happens) day. now that I am home with dd, there's never a "not much to do" day and headache days are no excuse. *lol*

Zen, if you Oed on cd 25, then why did you start getting breast tenderness right the next day? but I would probably assumer "the worst case scenario" and go with day 25.

Good point. Who knows!!! I think you're right though - i may aught to jsut go with 'worst case'. I feel like I just got the GO TO JAIL card in monopoly. damn it.

haaaaaaaa

The one on my neck is Tolkien Elvish script, just the word "seraphim" transcribed... it's sort of... hm. For protection, kinda. The one on my thigh was originally a Yoshitaka Amano drawing, and there's lots of symbolism in it for me; the most obvious is -- the demon represents my bipolar disorder, and the mermaid is me, not afraid of the demon but not submitting to him either, blah blah. It took a long time. I think 8 or 9 four-five hour sessions or something like that? It was actually done by a friend, and she was 8mo pregnant when it was finished. That photo was taken on her dining room table, because we had to wrangle positioning so that my leg was accessible with her pregnant belly in the way. lol

There are several more I'd like but I need to save lots of money first, so they'll have to wait. Here's another Amano drawing which is essentially what I'd like as a back piece.

Sent off two resumes/clips for freelance jobs today and submitted an article, plus finished some swap items, so I'm feeling quite productive even though I'm sleepy. Still no AF. :

Zen - I wish I were some chart expert... I really don't know! I hate BFNs, though. They can bite my big toe. The only reason I have managed to refrain from peeing on a stick is that I don't have any sticks in the house, presently, and it would be SO RIDICULOUS for me to do so anyway, because hello? spotting? probably only a few days post-O? whatever. stupid sticks and their stupid lines.

gbutt - I share your affinity for shitty music. Sometimes you just want to listen to crap, mirite?
