**** JaNuArY 2013 tEsTiNg ThReAd 13 BFP'S****

And an update... I paid Amazon for next-day shipping on my OPKs, which I never do (because I'm cheap and we get free 2-day shipping with Amazon Prime). Even though a UPS truck drove down my street yesterday afternoon, no stops - online status tells me they've been rescheduled for today and I'm grateful my husband is less averse to calling customer service to refund my extra shipping fee! Why do some days feel like everyone is trying to stop this baby train??? UPS *******s! :: End Rant ::

p.s. My mom, who has no grandchildren and no idea we're ttc, is hilarious. I called her to inquire about a cookie gun we used every holiday season during my childhood and she mentioned it broke years ago, but she still has the cookie recipe. She started to say that with her current, healthy lifestyle she couldn't imagine making something all butter and egg yolks... and then she started laughing (almost howling, really) and then said "well, maybe I could be convinced into making them if I had someone to help me"... continues to laugh... "And I don't mean YOU!" - safe to say this future grandma is running out of patience? Probably one of the sweetest and least invasive ways she could have not-asked us

hi last cycle I ordered clear blue fertility monitor on amazon along with its sticks with special one day delivery so I was checking the status online so there that shows it has been delivered while I didnt get anything so then I call the customer service and asked them to refund back my money...they use the yodel service which is unreliable and poor service they dont deliver properly and even though I checked many customer reviews about yodel ...so then I got back my money ...

At least UPS didn't lie about it being delivered, was just a big disappointment! All day I was seeing the status as "Out for Delivery," meaning it was on the truck headed for my house (eventually). No idea why they didn't deliver it, but at only CD 6 with 27-28 day cycles/ highly unlikely I would have ovulated this early. Hoping still way in advance of my LH surge and that those OPKs get here TODAY!

I hadn't heard of the SMEP method before your post, had to look it up, and now... think I'm going to run this by my husband when he gets home. Really determined to give us the best chance possible this month and this sounds like a great plan, even for those ttc #1 without history of prior mc, etc.
