Katie, your tests look AMAZING!!!! I can't believe the frer. I did look at your boys pics but I didn't remember messy faces at all. May be because my kids have messy faces every day too. They get dirty every day and clean every day. I'm soooooo super happy for you and I love seeing your peesticks.
Amber Middle Name, please post your pics here!!!! Please???? Your test is positive dear and we are all excited for you. Your bfp only amplifies the excitement of Katie's bfp too. Now we all get to be on cloud 9 for you both. Your chart looks positive too. And it's not too late for light lines, those are definite lines and they're not too light.
Daisy, I think that you got some good statistics from ff and it's strong enough to make it obvious that maca changed your cycle for the better. I think you should continue it. Progesterone causes the bloat, so I think you just had a really great o. You are 3 dpo, if you had 3 high temps. Can we see your chart? Did I miss another aspect that you needed input? You're doing great and can test soon. Did you get tone dollar store?
Mummylove, did your dd enjoy her birthday? Your chart looks good, don't worry about the opks now because your temp confirms o. If you feel anxious about it, put in a similar high temp for tomorrow and you should get crosshairs.
Stacey, love you.
Beckie, thinking of you.
Zoie, I'm so glad you're back. Just to tell you, often I can open your pics. There's not anything wrong, I have pbotosharing blocked to protect the kids and sometimes it messes up what I want to do. So if I don't comment, that's why.
Nikki, I looked at your chart earlier today, seriously, and I thought you were within two days of o by comparing your chart last cycle. I'm so happy for you, this is a great cycle. You definitely do have ferning, it will get fuller. Keep posting pics please. My dh is older, well, um... Older than yours by a few or more. I understand what you are saying, it makes it a bit more challenging. Now that you got a pos opk, I would ask him to give it his best just for you, I'd try for 12 hours from your positive opk, definitely before 24 hours from your positive. You have nothing to lose by trying, other than his ego and that can affect a lot too so be gentle if he can't. Tell him it means a lot if he tries. Can he get the helping pills just for o time?
Okay, so all this talk about that and maca. My dh was anxious to start his, it's been 3 days, I think. We bd last night and he worked fine, it even hurt. Then he was getting all 'bothered' today while I was dressing. I covered and he said it's working already, meaning the maca. Does it really work that fast? Daisy you may know. Maybe he believes it will and it's purely psychological.
Gueyilla, I think the general concensus about taking maca is 3 weeks on and 1 week off. Most take off during af because it's an easy schedule to remember, just like changing the batteries in the smoke detector every time the te changes. I have spent a good bit of time thinking about this, and I changed my mind a lot but my final conclusion is that we will take off from 3dpo until 10dpo. Since my dh was so excited about taking it, he's going to be on for longer before getting a break now. He can take a lesser dose after I know I o'd. I want to work up to him taking 3000mg by o time for a few days. I plan to do 1000 mg for about a week and stay at 2000mg the rest of the time.
Megg, are you there? Hi.
Andrea, have a safe and fun trip.
Amanda, you have beautiful children. I love his little scrunchy face. I love it when little kids do that.
Afm, I took my ds back to the er because he was so dizzy. Blood work is fine, x-rays show no obstruction, stool sample shows campylobacter, which will cure itself. I still think there was more to it. She said it's normal to blackout before throwing up??? I've never done that. He's much more active this evening and I may still take him to our dr.
My 19 yo dd came home today. I missed most of the time she was here. I was at the hosp for 3 hours, came home and hurried to clean the kitchen and cook, she left right when dinner was ready. No one told me they had to leave by 6:30pm. I was crushed. I told her and her bf bye but as soon as she left I dropped to the floor in tears. I feel so sad.
I testedthis am with fmu and planned to post fmu and smu pics together, well after going to the hosp smu wasn't until 3pm. I was drinking water it was useless anyway. Ih, they were bfn. I'm sure I can post pics tomorrow.
Nite.
