AUGUST buddies~ Symptom Spotting, Girl Talk & POAS party!

[macydarling]

Lol about midnight pouncings. My DH has tried those moves but I love my sleep too much. I work from home often, so I occasionally get midday BD which is wonderful lol.

I woke up today feeling terribly down - it's a hormone thing announcing the witch is close by. Boy, does it ever suck? Why are women's bodies so complicated? Why is my body so complicated?

I have a massage appt today with a massage therapist, that I tell way too much too. She's going to try and tell me about natural alternatives, seeing a naturopath etc. etc. but I've spent so much money trying things over the years to reset my body that didn't work so I'm just about ready for a turkey baster.

Sorry you feel so down Hormones suck. Being a woman in general sucks sometimes! At least you can look forward to your massage. That sounds amazing. I would loveeee to try a massage, especially after long runs but they are so pricey and Im cheap.

Hi I'm still waiting for AF and so I'm onto August too! Seeing my obgyn next week to see about these stupid long cycles!!

Lots of baby dust ladies!

 

[macydarling]

So sorry about the BFN Muah. I know that hurts! But dont count yourself out til fhe witch shows her ugly face!

 

[n.miller]

I'm going to stalk. No AF yet, but I'm convinced my body is doing something crazy. Anyway, we're gonna NTNP this coming cycle (if it ever starts). But I want keep up with all of you.

 

[Rhodiolagal]

Welcome n.miller . . . I'm glad to see you here but I was hoping not to.

I don't want to give you false hope but heard a crazy story from my massage therapist today who got a one day bleed when AF was due, along with BFN - which turned into a BFP 21 days later. Very rare, but it happens.

 

[macydarling]

Hi N.miller! Keep your head up! A girl I went to HS with has 4 kids and she got BFNs the first FOUR MONTHS of every single pregnancy. I am still hoping for your BFP!

 

[fairyy]

I sometimes think that I am pregnant though I know it's AF and POAS and it comes out as BFN of course. Am I ever going to see those two pink lines ever ! Btw my mom bled with me and thought it was her period. Then she went to the doctor complaining about headaches and found out that she was pregnant then. She is a doctor herself and remained clueless till head she had those headaches.

 

[n.miller]

Well, I did have a killer headache yesterday. But that's not uncommon for me. I bought 3 cheapies today. Technically 2 because DH is a hypochondriac and wants to pee on one because he heard a BFP for men means he could have prostate cancer. although he is not at risk. I think he just feels left out of the POAS party.

I also bought a new basal thermometer so I can be more accurate with temps. I'm beating myself up for not temping this cycle. Then I could at least see if temp was elevated.

My DH is a fan of a First Response tests. All other tests, mainly IC's he says are crap tests though he doesn't know anything about its accuracy and never peed on those but he likes the tests you can directly pee on them and hates dip strips.

 

[n.miller]

That's DH is opinion as well. He would prefer I use one of my clear blue digital tests, but sine I'm doubtful I'd rather not waste them. We bought the rite aid brand of frer

 

[sharnw]

Hi ladies! cd1 today. Would love to join you xx

 

[macydarling]

Welcome Sharn!!! FX this is your month!

 

[sharnw]

Thank you! FX crossed for you too
April babies for us all

 

[n.miller]

Anyone who gets a BFP this month should ask for a push present with the babies birth stone. lmao

 

[coolbabe843]

i want to join, i just started AF so i am out for july but hopeful for aug!

too funny n.miller!

i'm not a big diamond girl, but wouldn't decline!


i actually am not sure i would want diamond as my birthstone. having a birthstone that's not a diamond means you get to enjoy both because even if you're not born in april you get diamonds...?

mine is aquamarine and i'm a fan. does everyone else like theirs??

 

[macydarling]

Push presents yeah! I actually just learned about what that is a few weeks ago! I'm not actually sure what my birthstone is...opal? I think.

Welcome Cool!!

 

[n.miller]

I have 2 birth stones. Pearl is the traditional, alexandrite is the modern gemstone. I'm not a huge fan of either. I love sapphire.


AFM - I believe I am officially the august stalker. Toilet tissue was coated in pinkish brown on the last trip to the bathroom. I already cried 2 nights ago when I saw the spotting right after DH got home from work, so I've already come to terms with it for the month. Still not enough for a panty liner, so not calling today cd 1. That'll probably be tomorrow. I wonder if DH will still want to POAS without me. ROTFL


Bright side - scuba diving, the ability to take anti malerial meds, and drink alcohol in Costa Rica.

 

[Rhodiolagal]

So, the first drops of AF arrived tonight. I was expecting her a little later because of the progesterone, but she'll probably be here in full force tomorrow, so I'll count tomorrow as CD1 like you n.miller.

I really hope I can get through this temping business consistently. I'll have to put the bbt on my alarm clock.

Have a lovely birth stone dreaming night ladies.

Rhodiolagal - looks like we'll be cycle buddies. And I keep my thermometer in the same place.
