Hi all!
Taking the time to catch up with everyone now. My husband has his study group from business school over and I swear I have never been so bored listening to them talk about their companies' financial projections and management... groan!
Fleur any updates today? Hope you are feeling good and things are still looking positive!
Terrissa working in a froyo shop would be the death of me! I would be eating it all the time, haha. Although maybe that would cure my sugar addiction. Let me know how that goes for you!! How are you feeling? Any symptoms? I do so hope we get some more BFPs, I would love to share the 9 months with you guys.
Jamie yay for O! That's so great, what a relief. Sounds like you have been timing well too

You are so good with all the things you do to aid fertility, I should really be trying to be better about that. I can barely manage to remember my prenatals. Happy (belated) birthday to your daughter! Did you do anything fun? It is crazy how fast time goes, I can't imagine my baby growing up and yet it is happening before my eyes. I'm just trying to give her as many kisses as possible so I don't regret missing out on the snuggles later (when she wants nothing to do with me, ha). Also I'm curious, when you were testing your husbands sperm, did they give you any good tips or suggestions? What good things did you learn? I know the TTC is more than just a woman's job and I'd love to give my husband some things to work on. Of course I doubt I can get him to quit his nightly glass of wine and that should be priority number one but.. baby steps.
Natalie you never know, I have spoken to two people in the last week who said they ended up pregnant the one month they were just like, eh forget it, I'm not going to try. So this could be your surprise

I hope the appointment goes well and the doctor is better this time around.
Kate that is a bummer about your husband! That does seem strange because he is really young, and clearly doesn't have any bad habits that should be affecting things. Might be worth just saying something to him, like "we would really increase our chances if we tried more than every other day, maybe there is something we could do differently" - then suggest going to be early, or trying in the morning, or even in the shower or something! Who knows, maybe it's just a routine thing.
Zay I'm so sorry! That really sounds like a bad day - ugh I am shuddering just thinking of the cut in your vagina, yikes! So uncomfortable. Good luck clearing up the yeast infection, those things are the worst. I have my fingers crossed for you anyway! Also I bet your friends aren't sick of you - I am sure they are very supportive, but I know when I am thinking about something 24/7 (ttc) I think my friends must be sick of hearing about it, but mostly I'm just sick of myself thinking about it! Might be fun if you can get out for a girl's night.
Kylee I definitely hope these are all good signs!! Diarrhea has actually been one of my symptoms too, one of the reasons I was so convinced I was pregnant last cycle, I had it from like 4dpo. And I do think it is totally possible to hit the bullseye like that, I mean it's obviously very common not to but some couples I think are just more fertile together, and also if you are really trying I have to believe that increases the odds. Very impressive with the planting! I would love to make raised beds but we don't really have the space. Maybe in our next house, haha.
AFM my bleeding seems to have stopped - I had the one morning and then yesterday morning some pink when I wiped. My doctor didn't call me back yesterday so I'm hopeful she thinks it's no big deal. I have a ton of CM this cycle, I actually thought I was bleeding again this morning but it was only wet. It feels like a strange cycle so far but I'm trying not to get to down about it. I picked up the progesterone yesterday, my doctor says to start it 72 hours after I get a positive opk. I'll wait until I am sure I ovulated I think. I'm sure it won't be a magic bullet but I think it might at least help me relax during the tww since I won't be temping (since the progesterone will just artificially keep my temp up). Anyway it better do something because it cost $150 for 15 doses!!! And that was after insurance paid for half. Jeez. I should be ovulating Thursday, started opks today. My husband is fighting another cold so I'll have to stay on top of him this week to BD (no pun intended!)
I'm hoping to be more positive this week and stay more connected! It's nice to hear everyone's updates.
