Fern - Are bananas on your "allowed foods" list? If you freeze them (peeled first, and cut into chunks), then when you toss them into smoothies they can take the place of ice, and they thicken the smoothie without adding chemical thickeners or corn starch or similar.
Mrs.Green - I think your BD looks just fine! You got one in there the night before ovulation, and since sperm can last 3 - 5 days in there before they die, you're covered! All it takes is just one little sperm to make a baby, right? Stay positive!
AFM -- Rant warning! Read on if you dare, but it's a little long-winded! lol

Holy moly, I have been the most moody, cranky gal EVER the past few days. I have zero patience for the pets, when I'm normally like - the Dog Whisperer or something. I keep going from happy to bitchy in seconds... Poor DH. I warned him the other day and said, "So I apologize in advance for any snapping I do later." lol
To be fair, though, he keeps doing things that would drive me nuts on a GOOD day. One night he asked me if I wanted him to fix me some dinner. We'd had a late lunch that day and were only a little hungry later in the evening. I told him that if he was already getting up to make food, I'd take a small helping of some leftovers. He goes, "Okay," goes into the kitchen, makes himself a big heaping bowl of food - and nothing for me. Like in the 30 seconds between couch and kitchen, he forgot?
Then he was doing the "I can't find it!" routine, when the thing he was looking for was in plain sight.
Then I spent AGES ironing the wrinkles out of all his clean work shirts, but I missed one. And he went out of his way to fish that one out of all the ironed shirts and wore IT to work instead.
I finally told him, "It makes me feel like you don't care about all the work I put in, making sure you have clean, presentable clothing to wear to work. I spent two hours on those shirts, and you find the one I missed and go to work looking like you just rolled out of bed." He is still in "college intern" mindset and just wears whatever -- but he's a salaried software engineer and should be making an effort to show up to work at least in a pressed shirt and decent pants! He doesn't think that what he wears to work has any effect on what people think of him. Well, it does. Just because people don't walk up to him and say, "Hey, man - your clothes are really wrinkly!" doesn't mean that no one cares, you know?
Anyway. I've really been trying to be patient, and reminding myself that it's all hormonal PMS type stuff, but this is way WAY more than I usually experience every month, so it's hard for me to compensate for it because I rarely have to deal with it.
Do any of you gals get like this at all? What do you do to try and keep from biting DH's head off?
