2013!!!!! January Testers!(140) (40) BFPs! 9 Angels Come find a Buddy today!!!!

I think about how much time I'll be able to take off all the time... Like will I be able to take twelve weeks? insurance only covers six weeks at 80% pay, so the other six would have to be vacation or unpaid time. I wonder if I could go back to work four days a week instead of five, but cost benefit analysis says no, I'd lose more in my pay than paying for daycare. I don't know how we Americans do it and think it's normal; the system is messed up.

You should be eligble for Family Leave also right? They allow you to break it up like one day off a week or you can take it all in one sum...

Thank you, CastawayBride! I just had never heard of estrogen dominance before and it hit close to home with the fibrocystic bb's as well. But do you think I would've had such bad O pains and felt so feverish if that were the case? Does that sound like the day I would've O'd or would if have been the day before/after? I know you can't give me a 100% positive answer..but with your experience, what would you guess-timate?

 

[CastawayBride]

Well I confirm my ovulation with the monitor and I correlate the nipple tenderness the very next day after ovulation but I don't have the feverish symptoms...it could just me the way your body "O's"...everyone's bodies work so differently! I am also newly off BC (third month) after being on it for 16 years so suppose I feel my symptoms are bit off from others...

 

[KitteyKat2010]

Will you please change my date back to the 16th, I think I ovulated later than I thought I did. So for sure the 16th then I will quit bugging ya LOL!!

 

[LilyBump]

Well, as long as I O'd I think I'd prefer the nip tenderness to the massive cysts I get in the TWW a lot of times! I'm still a bit lop sided from last month! Although, I doubt I'm going to be lucky enough to go through the next 2 weeks without..I at least learned never to correlate my breast changes with pregnancy symptoms. Now hopefully I'll be able to do the same for breast changes and O. If we didn't catch the egg this month, I think I'll start charting more seriously (maybe even use OPK's) next month-- even if it's only to be able to answer questions such as this, in regards to my body.

Good luck, Castawaybride! I have a lot of work to do the next couple of days, but I shall be poking my head in soon!

Ok idk what to think right now... Bfn this morning and now I peed and it's light pink watery looking not bloody looking and that huge temp dip... AF due the 7th... Starting or ib? I NEVER start early. Like ever! Idk what to think!!

 

[Tower6]

Please please don't be starting

 

[Tower6]

Sorry to post again... Wouldn't it be way to close to AF start date to be implanting? Idk I'm really nervous but at the same time do excited if it is ib... But too nervous to get my hopes up lol

Hi! I'd love to be a part of this thread! Third cycle, 11dpo, testing 1/5/12

 

[ClandestineTX]

I wanna test RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

This is why I don't normally keep peesticks in the house.

Haha - love your little emoticon! That's exactly how I felt this afternoon, so I went and stocked up on some $store cheapies and peed on one just for fun... just in case I'm lucky enough to be one of the early implanters. But, as expected, BFN. At least I got rid of the itch, and don't really feel bad about the BFN since I know it doesn't mean I'm not pregnant

The head games we play with ourselves, eh?

<--- Guilty of same. This boat is getting full, eh?

 

[ClandestineTX]

...So anyway, I decided to look it up online and ran across an article that said if you have nip/front of breast pain around O than more than likely it's estrogen dominance and you didn't ovulate. It has gotten me pretty bummed and very confused on whether or not I even O'd this month..


Anyone have an opinion? I would greatly appreciate it!...

I had sore boobs, mostly nipple-related since before I ovulated and still have it at 9-10 DPO... hoping it keeps the witch away tomorrow!

9 DPO is the MOST COMMON date for implantation - FX your temp shoots up in the morning!

I'm in America and get six weeks of paid leave. I think it depends a lot on your employer, though the lack of standard maternity/paternity leave is BS for the country that claims to be the best in the world all the time. It's a shame, really it is.

I'm 9-10 DPO (depending on which calculator you use) and due for a new cycle tomorrow or Friday, but the testing calculator on countdown to pregnancy says I should test on the 5th... so we're neighbors of sorts!

9dpo - could totally be IB!
Keep positive!

 

[Cristeena]

Welcome new joiners! Congrats on all the s!

AFM, we decided tonight to go back to "pull out method" until I graduate and get a job around May/June. Boo Its for the best though financially, DH doesn't feel comfortable getting pregnant without insurance, and his firm is so small, their insurance is over $700/mo!!

Anyway, GL everyone, I will be living through you all vicariously until May!!

TOWER, if its unusual for you, it sounds promising.... FX!!

 

[~Brandy~]

So many BFP's already!! YAY Congrats everyone lets keep it goin

 

[Tower6]

I have never ever been early but it's definitely pink when I wipe there was a little red last time. So I am really thinkin I'm out today with that huge temp dip.... I am really bummed if i start early because that would make a 9 day lp and that's just NOT GOOD... Please please don't be AF
