Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

It seems that most of our cycles are shorter now. I bet there is something to that and being more fertile.

Menb... I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and good or bad know that we are here with you.

Colta... I can't believe I am in the tww. I am so excited nd have such hope. We have had a long year and this would be the perfect finish to it for us.

So praying for all of us to get our bfps and berdc needs some company.

Speaking of which... Berdc how are you feeling. With any luck I will be with you in 2 weeks. So excited.

Sorry I have been chatting much lately. I am doing good....thanks for asking. Waiting to see if morning sickness kicks in in the next week or two. I had to take the glucose test yesterday morning. I thought it was way to early, but doc said since it runs in the family better to be safe then sorry. They said they would test my sugar if it was 92 or lower I would get the drink and wait an hour. Bad news I came back at 94 not sure if I will just repeat again or if they just classify me as gestational diabetes. My boobs are still really sore and I can fill my ligaments starting to pull.

I have been so emotional for the past two days. My husband got rid of one of my dogs. I miss her so much and all I want to do is cry. I just know that if he would gave her more time she would have been a good dog. I just hope that family loves her as much as I do. :cry:

oh, why did he give her away? what was she doing wrong? we have 2 dogs and had a heck of a time with our 2nd one when we got her. she had food aggression issues and being a puppy she chews and digs like mad! i have taken her to obedience classes with the slip collar training and it worked a miracle! she listens well now. still have a chewing problem, but that's our fault. she just needs to be watched closer and taught what is ok to chew on.

Well we had three. We have had her since she was a pup, and she was just always into everything. The worst part was she would go outside and come back in covered in mud. My OH just got tired of me always complaining about cleaning up after her.

yeah, we have that problem too. the puppy digs and digs and digs outside and comes in all muddy. it's really bad when it's wet out. and when it snows, 2 dogs bring in a lot of snow that melts all over the floor! we have a dog door they just go in and out then they want. and they are small puppies so drag snow in on their bellies too. it wasn't a big deal with one dog, but wow do 2 dogs make a difference in size of the mess. as far as the digging goes, we are still hoping puppy will stop when she gets older. if not, i would guess DH will do the same thing. one thing we are trying right now, filling the holes the dog digs with her own poo. so far, we've have a clean puppy!

We have a doggie door too and that is what caused all the problem. She was a digger too and it just seems like all it has done lately is rain. She also broke the gate to the deck around the pool and walked out on the pool cover. It was new and she poked holes in it with her claws.

I have started locking them out when I notice they are muddy. We just put the cover over the door and then I go get them and give then a bath when they are done getting messy, then keep em inside. The puppy just chewed up our $80 baby gate last week. I was pissed. I asked out trainer about it and he said it's my fault that I shoulda been watching her better and she has too much access to the house. he told me to crate her at times i can't watch her. i felt bad doing this but she actually likes it. he said dogs that dig and chew alot are nervous and need a small space to calm down. he also told me i let her have to much access to the house. so, i put her in her crate for 20 minutes at a time when i'm busy and by god, she does like it! she calms down and when i let her out again she doesn't chew on everything. this trainer is awesome. wish i could afford to keep going, but it's expensive.
 
Oh berdc... I am sorry to hear you are having a rough time. I have a dog that is awful. I complain about him all the time but would feel just like you if we got rid of him. Luckily I have a farm though and he can stay outside.

I actually have 3 dogs,3 cats, 2 rabbits,2 hamsters, 1 turtle, 1 hermit crab, 2 pigs, 2 goats, 2 horses, 2 cows and 40 chickens. We are getting 2 miniature donkeys next week and are starting our ark. Lol just kidding about the ark. Next year these numbers will double when they are start breeding. We let the kids name the animals. That was a mistake. Our rabbits have porn names. (coco sprinkles and bun bun foxy) the turtle is named flash. One of the hamsters is Thor the other is firework. The bad dog is manwich. Pigs are Elvira and Leroy brown. we have a rooster named monkey. Our cats are called cat and mouse and the 3rd one is all black so they named him 13. The hermit crab is called claw. And the goats are buttercup and daisy. lol and if this craziness doesn't put a smile on your face I don't know what will. Lol hang in there girl.

Wow! That is alot of animals to take care of. How do you ever remember all those crazy names?

How could I not. The kids spend so much time thinking them up. Lol they have a ceremony. I may worry if they want to smash champagne bottles up against the animals heads though. Each name is worst then the next. The funnier part... I grew up in Miami. I am not a country girl. I don't know how this happened. But I love it.

I am hoping that in the next 10 days I will be joining you. If we didn't catch this egg I will be amazed. Lol
 
Moter my temps are all off. I don't sleep much. Last night I woke up and took my temp and reLized it was only midnight. Then I took it again at 5 at midnight is was close to my last high temp at 97.70 but at 5 had fallen to 97.39 my temp yesterday was 97.96 which was a big spike. There is a link to my chart in my signature. I don't understand the damn thing at all.

yeah, it's pretty important to take your temps at the same time everyday or you can't really have an accurate reading. what is says to do if you are early in taking your temp, add .1 degree for every half hour, and if you are late taking your temp, subtract .1 degree for every half hour. it also says to take your temp after at least 3 hours of sleep and right when you wake up. maybe you could set an alarm for a certain time really early every morning so it's the same time everyday? that is if you are a person that can fall asleep easily again. that being said, you still have 2 temps that are above your coverline so one more high temp tomorrow and ff should draw your coverline. i take my temps between 6 and 7 am every morning and always use the method above to adjust them to the 6 am time cause that's when i get up most mornings.
 
My problem is I maybe get 4 hours sleep each night and never straight. Charting may be impossible for me. But I am hoping that tomorrow will give me a clearer picture. Last night I didn't sleep but maybe 2 hours. I tried ambien once and I still didn't sleep. I just thought I did. Made phone calls and left the house. Now I just deal with it. Been like this as long as I can remember.

I so hope you will be joining me!
 
I am ready for all the testing and waiting to be done. If I am not pregnant though I may stop the opks and charting and just dtd eod. This is all so stressful

oh wow, i can barely function if i get 6 hours sleep. i need my solid 8 or am cranky. DH has problems sleeping too. he just can't shut off from the day. he takes sleeping pills sometimes. he sleeps best with the tv on and on the couch cause thats how he slept growing up. (he didn't have his own room as a kid)
 
My problem is the same. I can't shut down. It's horrible.

have you tried writing down what's on your mind. making a to-do list or reminders could help keep it from cycling through your head all night.
 
hmmmm........how bout something repetitive. DH tries counting. i'd say drink a beer or two but that's probably not a good idea right now!
 
No I don't think beer would be the best choice right now either. Lol I am ok with it. I guess I just don't require that much sleep. And hey when I have a baby midnight feedings aren't a problem. Lol I won't lose any sleep.
 
Four hours of sleep a night......Oh My Gosh! I am sleeping 9-10 right now.
 
Four hours of sleep! I don't function on less than 8! LOL. When I was pregnant I had insomnia and only slept 4 hours a night, it sucked! I was so tired, but it was like my mind wouldn't shut off... I don't know how you do it!
 
Lol I have been doing it for at least 20 years. Not tired either.

So I am 3 dpo according to fertility friend. Charters please look. I am positive I od yesterday but my temps don't correspond. I am so worried something is off.

I see the last few temps are open circles... did you take those at a different time? It could be off... that is why FF is giving you dashed lines, because your fertile CM and + OPKs don't correspond with the temp shift. I would say you probably O'd yesterday too.
 
af has gone not sure what the little out burst was all about it was after we:sex: so maybe just something to do with that so just waiting now to the big o hopefully sometime this wk :thumbup:
 
My temps are taken anywhere from 4 to 6 am. I tried to change them by adding or subtracting .1 depending on when I took my temp but gave me the same result so I changed it all back. We will keep dtd eod for a week just to be sure. I think because I never get 3 consecutive hours of sleep they are all off.
 
Just to an opk and it's very positive. My chart is broken. I don't know what to do. I don't think I am actually ovulating. I think i keep gearing up to and just don't.

That could be... some people say that they can't temp, maybe you are just one of them.
