gemmy -- do you temp orally or vaginally? If orally, I wonder if doing it vaginally would give you easier to read temps?
I had considered doing that for the next round while ttc both times because my temps can be rocky (I tend to be a mouth breather at night). I'm just lucky that my thermal shift is huge so my chart is pretty easy to interpret even with the rocky temps.
nats -- fx! Sounds like you gave it a great shot this cycle! I've had pain on both sides before but never while ttc so not sure if I release two eggs at once but I doubt it. This time I had pain from the right side, which is very rare for me but then that big ol' corpus luteum cyst formed on the left so my u/s tech was sure I must have ovulated from the left this time even though I felt it on the right.
I don't think my right ovary works, to be honest. It looks funky in ultrasounds.
Linz -- Hope you get some decent sleep soon. Maisie was a horror getting to sleep for the first year. I would rock her for hours and hours and we'd both fall asleep in the rocking chair almost every night. After about 4-5 months, she got better in the middle of the night, though. I could get up, feed her, and she'd fall asleep pretty quickly after the bottle and I could generally put her back down. She still woke up 2-3 times a night until 8 months or so and then at least once until 13 months when she started sleeping through the night about 95% of the time. Pure gold, that is! I'm so, so, so happy I won't have to get up for work with all the sleeplessness this time around. Not that caring for 2 kids under 2 and going to school and being responsible for the house won't be way harder than my current job, at least I may be able to take naps.
first -- Sorry your oldest is giving you a fit! You should tell you the dyslexia excuse doesn't work for math (well, may not), though.
I have a good friend who is dyslexic (granted, there are different forms of dyslexia), but she's a MATH TEACHER with a Master's Degree in math.
She has always been awesome at math & science, she just can't spell (she spells phonetically though, so it's easy to understand what she's trying to say) & it takes her a bit longer to read (but she even does that well).
I potentially only have 6 days left at work after today! I told them my tenative last day before maternity leave will be next Friday. Now that we finally have a closing date on our new place, I think that may very well be it so that I can spend that next week working on the new house and won't have to be traveling 2 hours away from home at 39+ weeks pregnant scrambling to get stuff done there on the weekend before my due date. I'll have to do some leave calculations and see where that will put me in terms of paychecks and all that good stuff before I decide for sure.
I woke up and thought what the heck give it a go. 
not sure I will get away with more bding tonight lol 
xxx
So after I tell her she can't go to the after school dance and I ground her from the Wii, her DSI and absolutely no Disney until the end of the school year and that her test scores had better come up guess what I'M the Bad Guy
