If you weren't an addict before, you will be now! Best tweaking&testing thread ever!

I haven't checked my cervix.. BC I mainly have no idea what the difference is lol but I've also had a lot of wetness today. Went to the bathroom earlier thinking AF had arrived early but nothing but cm if you can even call it that. It was more like I had poured water on my undies. Don't think this is typical for me either.
Fx for us Leah.. we're not out until the witch shows up!

 

[LeahLou]

Me too!
I didn't get the difference till I started checking. It takes a couple months to know what your feeling!
TMI! But this is how I understand it:
The firmness is the difference between a marshmallow (soft), gummy bear (medium) and ripe peach (hard). The height is if you can reach it or not. The opening is you feel like you could reach to your uterus (you won't ) vs it's like a clamp and you can't squish it around.

Hoping that both you ladies are just waiting for a late positive test this month!

Leah, I was going to comment on your nails too. It's been a while and they still look perfect!

 

[tdog]

Ladies!!! What in the world??? My cervix is high, firm and closed and I'm wet as wet can be! Not normal for AF arriving any day.. Ugh! My body is crazy!

Oh Leah that sound so promising and sounds like what mine was when I found out I have everything crossed for you xxx and I'm thinking of you other ladies and that you get your xxx

 

[MeaganMackenz]

I kinda wish I hadnt figured out what the cervix could mean I find myself checking it more often then I should when Im close to AF and its always so deceiving!!

At this point I wouldnt care what BFP you get and when I am just hoping you get one Leah and Aimee, ASAP!!! FX

 

[free_spirtd]

Girls that sounds so promising!! The only true sign on count on is a late AF and even that is not for sure. I've decided to hold off testing until AF is due lol. I jut get so excited watching all you girls with your maybes! Xoxo

DH has been more open about starting to try. It's like when I am not sure I want one yet, he is. And when I'm blaring ready to ttc, he's stand offish lol. So we get these weird moments of halfsies PO, or PO too late, lol. I'm pretty relaxed right now about it because I'm not truly ready to full force ttc until may+.

Love watching you girls though!! FX'd it happens!!

I'm glad I'm charting though. Last cycle was 8 day luteal phase. Now I'm worried I have a progesterone problem. I'm anxious to see how this cycle goes. Anyone have a short LP issue?

 

[slg76]

I can rarely tell what is going on with my cervix other than if it is high or low. I guess that's something. I keep thinking that if I continue feeling it I will get the hang of it

 

[LeahLou]

Follow my "guide to the cervix" and you'll get it Sara

I know Lacy! I can't count on anything! I barely have a maybe now. Just no. Haha.

I got acrylic nails for the first time and it's almost been what? Three weeks to a month? My hubby is gonna get them redone for my birthday on Sunday so I gotta figure out what I want! And I may get my hair done, since the red is growing out. Any color suggestions for either?? I'll put up ideas in my journal oooo being a girl can be fun

 

[MeaganMackenz]

I have such mixed emotions about acrylic nails- I LOVE them, but my nails grow so fast they look like shit in 2 weeks. Seems like such a waste of money for 2 weeks of awesomeness. haha!! I usually do them once a year, get it all nice and fancy

My mom and I have gone for a couple pedis this year, its kinda nice to be girlie every now and again

 

[LeahLou]

I painted over the grown out nail to make it last longer I'm a cheapskate!!!

 

[slg76]

There's no way I would keep up with acrylics. I like gel/shelac manis but if I do more than a couple in a year they damage my natural nails. My mom gave me a $200 gift card for the local nail salon for Christmas. I've been getting my toes done every three weeks or so and I feel so spoiled!
I'm getting a haircut today. Keep it long-cut it shorter? Bangs-no bangs? decisions, decisions. I don't color it for the same reason as no acrylics-upkeep needs money. I'm thinking a couple inches shorter and side bangs.

 

[slg76]

Just realized, kind of like the haircut in your pic Meagan!

 

[EMSwife1124]

Thanks Sara and Lacy I can't wait for everyone to be able to have their BFP I think I'm going to bust out a FRER tomorrow lol

I went through a phase of short hair with blonde and red highlights but the red stopped staying in my hair so I went back to my natural brown. Now I'm trying to grow it out. I am missing my color though but not missing the money it cost!
I love the acrylics too but I can't keep them up so I only get them for special occasions.

 

[MeaganMackenz]

My hair cut is a hit sneaky- its long and angled in the front with side bangs, but its shorter in the back. Or it was, its grown out a bit. Ill look at a trim probably soon We have so much car accident stuff up in the air, im waiting for the dust to settle to see my out of pocket costs.

Its a good cut though, doesn't look too different in the front but the maintenance as far as shampoo and conditioner consumption goes down !

 

[slg76]

currently my hair is about bra-strap length, only a few layers in front with no bangs. Boring! Getting too long and just lays flat. We'll see what my hair stylist comes up with today.

Ladies, fatigue has REALLY kicked in. I wanna sleep everywhere and a tiny weeny bit of Nausea not much

 

[laurarebecca1]

Anyone have a short LP issue?

I used to have an LP of 10 days then I started using b6 and bcompex and it improved to 13days the next cycle and then one after that was 14 days!! I would defo recommend that; if you don't already!!

 

[slg76]

I swear by acupuncture to regulate cycles! You use different points on your body to encourage your cycle to move along or to slow down. This is what got me having periods again after they stopped completely.

That's the part of being prego I'm not looking forward too! lol
Hopefully it will let up in the next tri
