liles- Rumley's sounds wonderful! It's nice that there is a place where kiddos with special needs can go specifically. so happy to hear baby is doing well from the scan! what a relief it must be. love the pictures! They look so big!!
proud- go you not taking no for an answer! hope you caught that eggie!
Happy- it was for my best friend across state in our hometown. unfortunately she texted today asking to cancel it. said she didn't want to talk about it tonight. We (my co-host and i) are holding off canceling anything until we can talk to her. Her fiance just got home 2 days ago from deployment so not sure if they just had an argument or something more serious. My heart hurts for her. In happier news...less than 2 weeks to go for your wedding!! love your new TTC ticker too!
glong-



thinking of you and praying for a clear answer soon for you
kitty-


it all sounds so stressful. i hope that the car and job get sorted soon. Have you called your doctor? You may want to call and see if they want you scanned to be sure everything looks okay after the chemical. It doesn't seem normal that you would still be having cramps
Ali- congratulations! hopefully this pregnancy will be a lot less stressful for you not having class and studying etc!
curiosity- yay for fertile time!! that's the fun part of the month lol. i love that you're settling into your new home and just enjoying it. it definitely helps to have a wonderful distraction from ttc. and i know it will happen soon for you!
matts- its always so scary to see blood while you're pregnant. sounds like its just an irritated cervix like you said. Praying you dont see more and can go over it at the doctors next week. how are you feeling so far?
arturia- If your cycles are always a certain way, then this sounds like just a one off cycle to me (which is so frustrating when you go to start trying). It's pretty common to have one or two off cycles a year (at least for me it is!) I wouldn't say its anything to worry about unless it becomes the new normal. And as long as you are having a proper flow (read:shedding your lining) then it most likely wouldn't be a concern for the doctor. I would definitely call though if it happens, just to be sure. How is your husband doing?
les- so nice to hear from you

I think we all have moments where the weight of trying gets too much and you need a break. please know that we are here through the ups and downs. it's a hard journey and often is more heartache than not and we are here for you, however you need us to be! putting the thermometer away sounds like a great plan to help you stay more relaxed through the tww this cycle. i'll have to pop over to your journal (totally missed you had one!) to see the cake. i'm sorry it was a tough day with your friends asking about having a baby. it wasn't meant to be callous, but that doesn't make it sting any less. it WILL be your turn one day and i hope it will help heal your heart
tiny- yay for AF being gone! That's so sweet that Leo was bringing you little gifts. Sounds like you really had a wonderful weekend! hope your birthday comes and goes without much anxiety and stress for you. is your trigger when there are big groups of people (like for a party) or being the center of attention? Maybe just ask your DH to kindly tell everyone that a text or FB message saying happy birthday is good but no other fuss?
green, mrs unicorn, avalanche, choco, jwilly, banana - hope you all are doing okay and hope to hear from you soon
AFM, it's after midnight now so I am officially 5 weeks! I took my last FRER on Saturday. It wasn't as dark as I would have liked and am considering picking up one more for mid this week. I know i need to stop testing and probably will be done. But it would really help set my mind at ease seeing the test darker than control. Otherwise I am feeling pretty well. Been bloated every night and had a couple short mild bouts of nausea. Have also been feeling tired but overall, nothing to complain about! MS kicked in with DS at 5.5 weeks so I am going to enjoy any good feeling day that I can!
Happy Mothers Day to all those who celebrated it this week! That's for moms with babies, moms with angel babies, moms with babies to be or fur babies and even want to have babies. We are all mommas in one way or another and I hope you felt loved and appreciated today.
