Looking for official TTC buddies!!

[shradha]

Laura- have not tried fertility friend.......but have heard a lot from you all.....I hope I am not too late to check temperature now... Cd11...... Will start from tomorrow..... Hope you did not have any problem yesterday..having raising your legs up....

Patrice- I have already started to test....although I know I will not O until cd 18 ......but if my cycles are back to 32 days as it was for all there years... Then might have it before....keeping fingers crossed.....

It's surprising ....coz even my cool and relaxed dh is also talking about testing and BD....a lot.... I guess now...the bug has caught them too ......

How was work today? Did your boss miss you?

Shrdha- hi! It is almost 1:30 in the morning here I am all awake but getting sleepy now I got hungry so made myself some broth with tobasco I am becoming addictedto it lol!

It's never too late to start temping I started CD 11 and it helped me stay focused...by CD23 or so I had my bfp...the temping helped me to realize exactly what dau I ovulated, etc...and when you get prego it spikes high and stays high I can't wait for yout o get your bfp!

Coy-DH and I got to figure out which insurance we have for dental so we can get a dentist. The toothache is not that bad anymore but it still hurts. I keep telling dh we both need to go to the dentist so hopefully it finally registers in his head. And baby brain..the things that it causes women to do

Shadra-FXed for you this cycle. Yes, im thinking the ttc bug has hit our dhs too

AFM, im on cd4 and my temp rose to 97.80 but i discarded the temp due to me having a toothache and i took meds. I tried aleve but it didnt really work so i took tylenol before bed so im assuming one of those, if not both, contributed to the rise in temp. Well, dh and i both work today but i get off early so im happy. I have been having a rather good time at work and my supervisor hasnt been rude lately so thats good. Also, i have found out that we are getting 2 new part-time employees Happy about that because they would be in my age group so now i will have somebody to talk to. Also, hopefully now i wont have to stay late so i might be able to leave on time compared to staying 15 minutes after on most days. So everything is going well. DH is still on his 60 day program. He missed 1 day because we came home very late so thats understandable but he didnt miss yesterday's workout so i was happy that he is staying on it. I found out my friend's due date is Oct. 4th so she doesn't have long to go. Looking at FF, it put possible ov on June 1st so we shall see if that happens. If i do ov on June 1st and conceive, then my edd would be in March which is the same month of my other best friend's birthday so we shall see. Yesterday, I had a good day except for the excruciating toothache. Its not as bad as it was yesterday so its getting better. I put some orajel on it so its helping. Also, my mom and i both dyed our hair. Mines is red and hers is blonde. The color is different but it looks nice on her because she is very light skinned (alot of people mistaked her for spanish ). My hair is a nice burgundy color. I love it. Well, the bleeding is medium/heavy for now. 3 more days before AF suppose to end. Hopefully AF leaves on time this time around.

 

[shradha]

Patrice- I know it will sound funny..but if you want instant relief then you can try this......take a small piece of cotton and dip it in either rum or brandy.....and put the cotton between the teeth where you have pain.....don't press th cotton too hard....you should not talk....keep it in for about 10 mins.....you will feel no pain.....but this is only if your tooth is not fully infected......but this works wonders ......

 

[shradha]

Coy- I will start from tomorrow morning.....I just hope and wish I catch the eggy on time......thanks dear for hoping with me....
Why don't you do one thing.....make some extra dinner....and whenever you feel hungry you can add some tobasco sauce and eat....no need to cook again....

 

[shradha]

Wow....burgundy hair ..... So today was all pampering for you.....dh keeps telling me to try hair color but I always refuse......I have dark black curly hair.....

 

[mzswizz]

Shadra-thanks. i will try that as soon as i get home.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Patrice- your hair sounds awesome! I used to play with colors and for a long time had the brightest red, it was fun. Then I changed it back to brown My problem is my hair is almost hip length so have trouble deciding how much color to buy... Also, just wondering on your cycles...how can you tell what is an anonovultaory cycle? Is it possible you just had a short cycle? I need to research the subject more so I can understand it better!

Shradha- I would love to have curly hair! My hair is super arrow straight and I can't get curl to stay in it no matter what. I can use mousse, hair spray, curling iron and work on it for hours and it falls straight again in about 30 minutes Grrrr!

 

[mzswizz]

Well i know it was an anonovulatory cycle because my temps stayed in the pre ov range. Never got higher than that and all my opks were negative. So seeing that my temps didnt go up and just stayed in AF/ pre ov range, then i came to the conclusion that i didnt ov last cycle.

 

[lauraemily17]

Shradha - You'll have to put your chart on your signiture like Patrice has so we can all have a nosey. I love analysing charts!! I've also got curly hair which I love. Unfortuneatly the older I've got the less curly it's got but it's not fully gone. I have highlights which I think has dried it out somewhat losing some curl but I'm planning on going back to my natural colour of very dark brown after Beanie arrives and hope to get some more of my curl back.

Patrice - I hope your tooth ache gets better soon. Definately don't leave it too lobg before getting it looked at. As Coy did I left a tooth too long and ended up with a full root canal filling which is now a partial crown as the tooth pretty much fell apart!!

Coy - How are you doing? Thats great that you felt baby kick

AFM - I have feet and anklesa again!!!! Now they're not back to normal but a vast improvement than what they have been recently. I've been bandaging them for longer at night and had them up last night then tried your tip Shradha with hot water and salt earlier then put them back up again and they are loads better. My pelvis isn't as sore either after having my feet up high so I think the stick and changing the way I move is really helping. Hopefully I'll be able to keep my feet and pelvis this way!!

I had a question I wanted to ask but it's gone clean out of my head!!!

 

[Grey Eyes]

I had a question I wanted to ask but it's gone clean out of my head!!!

Lol! Let us know if you remember

Wow, I am happy that the swelling is going down for you! It helps to try out a few things doesn't it, and see what helps the most?! Do you have the weekends off of work?

AFM- I am okay today, super exhausted feeling for some reason... I am stressing about court again but trying not to. I don't think I can afford the economist as they charge huge sums just for a small bit of calcullating...basicalythey try to determine how much in wages I would have lost given my current rate of pay (back then) in relation to our recession and given any regular bonus/benefits and raises I would have recieved. Then, that is totalled for my damages. I am not great at math but that shouldn't be too hard to figure out! I am good enough at numbers to know that $300.00 per hour is outrageous (And the economist was saying "days of work" ahead. )

Plus My 3 year old woke me up about 5-6 times last night She is going to have to get over this. I am wondering how to break it? I think if I let her climb in bed with me, fall asleep, then take her back to her bed...because this thing about having me run into her room every hour at night is getting exhausting! She wakes up all crabby and irritated..usually she just gets a drink of water and falls asleep and I can go back t o my bed. But that's a good 15 minute bit every other hour. Sigh...I was telling dh we have to get her to quit it somehow before baby is born because that's gonna be tough enough, waking up every 45 minutes- hour to nurse!

Annnnyway, today I have a small school assignment and it is sunny outside so I am thinking I will get my grocery shopping done for the weekend, then maybe work outside for abit. I can never seem to just let myself take a nap when I am tired instead of finding more projects to finish -but I should

 

[lauraemily17]

Yep I have weekends off, not that that always stops me from doing work due to my wonderful demanding job!! I won't be doing any this weekend though and have no intention of doing any next weekend either so no more weekend work for me for a year!!

$300 an hour is extortionate, mind you if we have a reason to charge a customer our time we tend to charge £100 per hour which isn't so far off that. What will happen if you can't find one cheaper?

That must be hard with your little girl. I wish I could suggest something to help but I don't have any experience yet!! Do you think it's got anything to do with you being pregnant? She can sense things changing?

We've had a lovely day as well today,it's actually stopped raining. (we had the wetest April on record which carried on into May!!) We did a bit of shopping, picked up a few more bits for Beanie, very nearly got everything we need now. Just got to do a few final touches as well to the nursery which hopefully DH is doing tomorrow.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Laura- if I cannot find the right price for an economist the judge simply has to rely upon my testimony and figures...which shouldn't be difficult as it's all pretty cut and dried. I made a fairly set amount and all of my bonus' and etc were based off of that and my fiscal earnings so I may have to do without.

You know, it's possible that Katana is just a bit worried of the newcoming baby...she seems excited but I know kids get jealous. Take my oldest for example. I was combing Kats hair and mentioned how thick and curly and beautiful it was and Teagen throws herself across my bed and demands "So what am I --second best?!" Lol...I told her that they are both beautiful but very different in many ways and she shouldn't feel the need to compete. Sillies

 

[Grey Eyes]

I am tempted to change into a sundress and try to get some color on my very pale legs...but figure I'll probably just burn lol! As soon as I told dh that I might a cloud blew in front of the sun

Here's a weird thing. My girls and I sat down on the bench in our front yard to have ice cream bars and the neighbor lady and her husband stepped out and sat down to stare as usual. After about 15 minutes I sent the girls in to wash up and the neighbors husband snorted, threw his hands in the air, and stompd intot heir house.

......Is it possible he's a perv that likes to watch little girls? Cause as soon as they went in sso did he. At first I thought they just stared to try and irritate but I am thinking he has a problem

And my very naughty boston terrier keeps using my new garden bed for a nap spot which is really annoying lol...

 

[shradha]

I just made a silly mistake today.....as per my habit I woke up and went outside my gate to take the milk packets......then suddenly I remembered ...oh I didn't take temp......luckily I had not gone to the washroom.....or drink water....so I immediately went to sleep for 1/2 hr and then woke up and checked temp.....it was 99 f ....don't you think it is high? Or maybe I made a mistake ...my temp was not recorded properly as I woke up? I have not recorded it in fertility frd coz I feel there is some mistake......

 

[shradha]

Coy- my god.....he definitely is a perv ..... It must be so difficult living with such a guy next door.....and always keep a look out for your girls.....

Here it's raining like cats and dogs........but no relief from the heat because of the humidity I guess....

You have lovely straight hair dear.........you can leave it open and would look stunning....whereas my hair though I have soft curls ...have to apply hair sprays to keep it intact...coz they fluff up and look messy....that's the reason I often make burns or braid my hair.......

 

[shradha]

Shradha - You'll have to put your chart on your signiture like Patrice has so we can all have a nosey. I love analysing charts!! I've also got curly hair which I love. Unfortuneatly the older I've got the less curly it's got but it's not fully gone. I have highlights which I think has dried it out somewhat losing some curl but I'm planning on going back to my natural colour of very dark brown after Beanie arrives and hope to get some more of my curl back.

I will surely add it to my signature....but today I feel I made a mistake....coz my temp can't be high......can't b O now.....so didnt record it yet....Tom will do it properly....

I have a mixture of curly and frizzy hair....so I am limited to only few hairstyles.......although my dh loves the curls....he often tells me to make it straight.......

 

[lauraemily17]

My DH is the opposite Shradha & hates me straightening my hair!! I very rarely do it though as it doesn't suit my personality. My also has frizz tendencies, I use gel, smoothing balm & liquid hairspray to keep it under control!!

Coy - I think you could be right about your neighbor, that's really scary. I'd keep a close eye on it & report them to the police. How old is he? Does he have any children of his own?

Afm - found another reason why my pelvic pain & swelling has been better. Beanie is breach!! Last week when the pain was it's worst he was definately head down, I felt pressure down below & his heartbeat was right at the bottom of my bump. It's felt different though in the past few days so got the Doppler out today & his heartbeat is about an inch above my tummy button now!! Although I'm pleased with the releif from the pain I really want him to settle in the head down position sooner rather then later, I so don't want a c section which I'll be given if he stays breach at about 39 weeks.

 

[lauraemily17]

I remembered the question I had. It's right up your street Steph!!

What are you opinions on drinking raspberry leaf tea or taking the capsules to help prepare the uterus for labour? I've heard that noes a good time to start with only 1 per day then build it up gradually.

 

[shradha]

Laura - really happy that your swellings and pain have reduced.....it must be a huge relief ........and hoz the baby doing? When you talk to your baby.... Do you get kicks??? have you thought about any name?
