Thought I would take the plunge!

Meli, I hope that dh comes around and that your dad and brother don't add to his thinking.

Here is my chart, pretty boring still waiting....

Yaaaayyyyy, for the June baby angels! Wooooo!

Vegas, I know what you mean about that dip, I've been getting some strecthy cm too, surely cd7 was too early to o though? Post o temps normally above 97.6 though, who knows? Do you reckon I should start with the cheapie opks tomorrow just in case? x x

I am stalking your chart even though it seems like gibberish to me lol! I can barely figure out my chart hee hee!!

Tornado watch in middle of winter? This is really weird weather!

Thanks for changing over the thread!

Hey Jasmine,
What does the white O/blank circle mean on your chart CD 2 mean?

Angel: Thanks for the new thread! Stay safe. Tornadoes have gotten so much stronger and frequent these last few years. My parents get the warnings all the time where they live too. Thankfully they have a basement, but most people don't.

Jasmine: I wonder if your body is trying to O early, but stops and then you go ahead and O later. Didn't you think that you had ovulated early last cycle too, only to confirm O later? Who knows, perhaps it means nothing.

Jasmine, if you remember, I had some really good ewcm on cd 8 and thought "what the heck!?". I didn't ever o then, and still haven't unless I am today. I have yet to have any more really good ewcm and I usually do. I think if would have had any opks, I would have started taking them then.

The open circle means you took your temp at a different time, so it might be off. If you see a filled circle with black around it, then it mean it was discarded.

My Ovulation Chart

Thought I would attach my chart to this new thread! Wow, Angel, you're still waiting to ovulate! I think your egg is waiting for mine and Meli's! Sociable egg, whatever next!

Yeah that's right Vegas (good memory!), last cycle I got an almost positive opk on cd9 with watery and then the opks went back negative and I ovulated on cd17 in the end! I took a cheapie just this morning to check, there is a line there but not positive! Think I'll stick to the cheapies until cd11 then start taking the digis!

I didn't know that tornados weren't normally a winter thing! That would seem normal to me to have one in winter, but the closet we get is Wizard of Oz! Eva's favourite film! I guess it's not fun in real life must be scary! The snow has gone now in the UK, it's just miserable old raining now x x

Does anyone know where Stef is? Hope she's okay x

I love that!!! My egg is just trying to be sociable! I don't know where Stef is, she hasn't been in her journal either. Come back to us Stef!!!!

Vegas,

Wow..that’s a great memory ya got there--remembering jasmine’s false o last month!!

Jasmine,

I was rofl at your comment to Angel regarding her egg is a sociable one…that’s cute!

AFM,

Wow. Just wow. I just got off the phone with my uncle who needs the liver transplant. He is such an ass!!! Backstory-my mom is one of 7, she is the oldest and he is the youngest. My large family is very close, most (except for me) live within a 5 mile radius of each other. For the last ten years or so, this uncle has estranged himself from our family. I don’t know what his issues are/I don’t care, all I know is that he talks sh*t about all of us to each other, to all his friends and others (it all gets back to us--trust me). Says that he doesn’t need his family-he has his friends and that’s all he needs. He can’t even bring himself to make appearances at family events-not even the important ones, like my grandmother’s (his mother’s) birthday parties (she’s 89 y/o). This totally bugs me--like really? You can’t bring yourself to make an appearance to your own mother’s bday party--it’s not like she’ll be around forever, you can’t pretend to be civil and let my poor grandmother die in peace??? This are the reasons DH hates my uncle--for this behavior. And I don’t blame DH--but he’s my uncle and regardless of all of the above, I still was willing to donate to him. Although it’s on everyone’s mind, none of us would ever say to him “where are all your friends to donate to you? You don’t need your family, huh? Well, look who’s saving your life”.

As you know, I was asked (by my mom and aunties) to accompany him to his dr’s appt. a couple of days ago, which I did do. Took 2.5 hours of my sick time to do that. I also typed up the results of the appt, scanned the possible donor paperwork, and emailed to the extended family. Turns out he was admitted to the hospital in the afternoon due to mild complications. I called my aunties to let them know. Yesterday morning (Tuesday) I called him again to check status, was he still hospitalized, did he need anything, just to check on him, to let him know that we/I cared. He said he was still in the hospital, doing fine, didn’t need anything. Ok. This morning, I called him again to find out status, wanted to check up on him, ask did he need anything? Etc etc. He tells me “I am still in the hospital. Please leave me alone while I’m in the hospital” I, very shocked, responded ‘”ok”. He then HUNG UP on me !

WTH!!!?? I am so upset, my feelings are hurt, I’m embarrassed at how he treated me, crying here at work!! Can you believe what an ass he is?? Granted, I don’t know if he even knows that I’m a possible donor, but to me, it doesn’t matter. Donor or not, I still don’t deserve to be treated this way!! Does this not even paint a picture of what a **** he is?? Why is DH always right about these type of things??Now I’m feeling like "f*** you!! Why should I put off ttc, why should I put my health in jeopardy to donate to someone like you??]

I am so upset and I just want to say “forget it” and move on with my life and go back to ttc. Am I taking this too personal?? I don’t even want to share this with my family because #1. I’m embarrassed, and #2, it will prove right all those who said not to donate (DH, my brother, my father, and I’m sure there are many more who agree with DH).

Sorry for the rant but I have nobody else to vent to!!! I need to get a grip and pull myself together soon--students will be out on their break and will probably be popping into my office to see me..I cant look like something is wrong!!
