[CLOSED GROUP] TTC to 1st diaper - Welcome Freya! Congrats to fezzle!

[ClandestineTX]

Your temp drop isn't abnormal. There are people who are slow risers/ slow falls and ones that rise and fall suddenly - both patterns are normal and it's also possible to mix and match.

I don't know if my emotional roller coaster today is circumstantial or symptomatic. I almost don't care, anymore. Just feeling a bit horrible and going through a bit of awfulness on the inside. I'd love nothing more than to get myself together and make this weekend productive and get some things done to get my life back into a state I recognize as my own and get things situated so I can have a super-productive week coming up.

Your cat sounds awesome Snackimals! Makes me sad OH and I are both allergic to kitties. (My allergies do not stop me from cuddling others' cats - that's what Benadryl is for, right? - but have thus far managed to keep me from getting one of my own.)

The weather here is gorgeous. I really want to get some friends together and go hiking, but after the scary spotting, the nurse told me to stay off my feet for a few days. So I think I'm going to get some friends together and either 1.) do some grilling or 2.) have drinks (iced tea and lemonade for me) on a patio somewhere.

 

[ClandestineTX]

@Txbiscuit - I vote for a combination of both #1 and #2. And I like that we live close enough to have similar weather I'm going to settle for opening all the windows in my house and doing a bit of cleaning/ organizing.

 

[Snackimals]

Texas, grilling sounds GREAT! If I was staying home this weekend I'd def sign up for your plan!

Also, I'll let Tezka know she inspires people to luv cats! Even if they cant own one! I have a hard time with people that hate cats. Seriously. It's not like I think everyone has to have one, or even has to love them, but HATE them. Pfff. Ridiculous. In fact, studies show that serial killers/psychopaths are 'DOG Owner' types. Cat owners are free and clear We are little angels!

 

[txbiscuit]

Uh oh... I am a dog person.

Then again, I am also a cat person, fish person, chicken person, squirrel person... I secretly wish I were Snow White or Cinderella. Not because I want to be rescued by a prince, but because I want to be surrounded by cartoon animal friends at all times.

Not possums, though. I am not a fan of possums.

 

[ClandestineTX]

LOL, I'm a crazy animal person, too. Well, mammals. I don't like birds, they're usually stupid. I like birds only because they entertain my cats (through the window of course).

 

[txbiscuit]

I have to say, while I would not eat MY chickens, owning them has made me feel less guilty about eating poultry. They are dumb, dumb, dumb.*

*On the other hand, they imprinted on me, and and thus follow me around. They may be dumb, but I still love them.

 

[Snackimals]

no one likes possums! NO ONE!!! well, except maybe terrorist...

Chicks are adorable! Dumb or not.

 

[ClandestineTX]

Awww

Hi ladies,

Thanks for all the well wishes. I took dh with me to the doc bc I was so scared but he could not be I'm the room with me bc of X-rays. It was really quick and felt like a cramp that doesn't go away, really uncomfortable. They didn't use lube so I've been sore for the last two days and spotting. I'm worried bd now bc it feels so sore in there. Hopefully it goes away soon. They say spotting is normal. I took hpt before test just to make sure and it was negative. Just so weird because I keep feeling my uterus shake and random pains.

Sorry I missed the doggy talk, I'm not a big pet person but I oddly collect stuffed animals

I work as a k12 instructional data analyst. thought of getting my pop but toooooo much work!

Snack, any updates?
Tx, we have very similar charts! I've known my husband for three years married 6 months. Yikes that went fast.

 

[Twag]

Thank you for the furbaby love I am an all animal lover but as a pet dogs - my Mum is allergic to cats and I love going for walks with my girls
Possoms are cute

Lamago that is bad that they didn't use any lube!!!

AFM - cycle 8 is a no go so looking forward to cycle 9 and all systems are go and hoping for a BFP
I am 33 now bah DH turns 35 in a week

CD 2 of cycle 7... the first of many waits begin! Since we're definitely not getting our 2013 baby, I feel like I care a lot less about when it does happen. Will still try like hell to make each cycle the one, but it's like now that's passed (our chance) - when it happens, it happens. Maybe too, it's completing cycle 6 and seeing how much this has dominated my life over the past 6 months and I simply want to focus on other things in my life. But will still be here and still trying, just trying differently.

 

[Ameli]

Yeah, I am a total animal person too. We would have tons of pets if we had the time and space. But the dog and cat keep us plenty busy. Both of our phones are full of pics of them. We're proud parents already.

Well, on to the next cycle for me too. I ordered some new prenatal vitamins and am considering using softcups this time, but not sure about them. Anyone here used them?? I'm also going to try to be more relaxed this cycle and eat healthier. I may try to SMEP, but won't likely follow it to a T. I am closing in on 34 (end of May), and I'm trying not to let it bug me too much.

 

[LillyTame]

Woohooo! Congratulations Twag! How exciting to be staying in your place for the first night Anything special planned or still just taking it all in and unpacking?

 

[txbiscuit]

Ameli - I tried using softcups, but I didn't practice enough to get it in without knocking everything out in the process. I think Lilly and Snackimals have both tried them, probably with more success than I had.

How is everyone? Where is everyone in their cycle? Twag and Lilly, you're pretty sure you're taking this cycle off, right? Is everyone else waiting to Ov?

Me: my doctor considers 13 weeks the beginning of the second trimester, so I'm counting down the days until next Friday. (I'll still have a week before B&B considers me 2nd tri, so I will just celebrate twice.)

 

[txbiscuit]

Also - since I am no longer really on the TTC boards very often (except to stalk you guys here and on your journals), I took the spoiler tags off the ticker in my signature. Is that OK with you guys? I can leave my signature off of my posts here if you guys would prefer that. I know it can be a bit much seeing them everywhere.

 

[LillyTame]

Not taking off...just taking it easy, a break from full-steam TTC, but OH is having performance issues, so you might as well say we are taking off.

I like seeing your siggy, I think people have the option to not see any siggies so if it bugs them, they can turn them off! HMPH! I think I would only hide mine if I was posting something in a MC thread

And Wait! This is our thread TTC tooooo 1st diaper...so that means the preggy phase too! You better put that ticker back up!
