Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[MamaTo2Girls]

ok geez gals...lots to catch up on.

rachael-weather is rainy, little windy so far. Still got power. Umm...no signs of af. Hope I don't at all. I am cd22 today, 8dpo. I will be 10dpo Wed. I am kind of anxious tomaybe try testing tomorrow? We'll see. That is great to have a big glob of mucus...the month before I got preggo with my last, I was cd13 and had a big glob when i wiped and had it on my undies. I know it wasn't O day, so still bd after tonight even. I can't believe already, only cd6? i hope this is your cycle! fx.

Laura-I love shoes, I love shopping, I love makeup, I love looking pretty even if I stay at home all dayand don't go anywhere. I never really use to be this way but I wish I would've done it earlier. lol Glad you had fun! You should post a nice pic after the wedding.

I love you gals so much. I wish you were closer so we could do stuff together.

Anyways...Mirolee,still hope you get your pos opk asap. Has your hubby ever got a sa? I hope he has enough for daily bding!

softcups, goo, ewcm, bd'ing, mens white stuff, wheelbarrows to the living room, wet panties and everything else that goes with it. I wouldnt want to share it with anyone else. You girls are amazing and i feel i could tell you ladies anything.

Will try heather to post one. Actually will try to remember to get a pic to post. I always forget to take a camera and my phone is, for lack of a better word, 'poo'. I wish we were all closer as well. Would be great to grab a coffee and some lunch and have a girlie gab. all around.

 

[laustiredttc]

oh, ps about make-up. Remember when i tried the soy and ended up looking like the elephant woman. Well the hives resulted in a scar on my forehead which is actually quite deep. So got some camoflauge make-up today as well to see if i can cover it. I hope so, i just cant believe that i scarred myself taking something i knew really nothing about will NOT be repeating that mistake anytime soon!!!

 

[HWPG]

no pos opk. no SA. no nothing anything. we have talked about doing a SA in jan (giving it 1 year off bc).... i hope we dont have to! [sigh, having a bad day....]

 

[Brayr08]

I really hope you don't get to the one year mark Mirolee. It is especially depressing b/c at that point b/c you are officially deemed "infertile". BOO! This whole thing sucks! Im sorry any of you are having to go through it.

Also, holy crap wind! I'm not so sure Michigan isn't having a mini hurricane of it's own! I'm shocked we haven't lost power yet. I live in the country, so it seems every time there is a slight breeze our power goes out.

Laura, I can't believe it left a scar! Our babies better appreciate everything we go through to get them here.

So, for the first time ever, I did an internal mucus check & my fingers came out
completely covered & the mucus was really strechy. Maybe I'm just getting geared up to O in a couple of days. Damn it all, I'm getting excited again. I always tell myself that this cycle, I'm going to be realistic & not get excited. HA! What a joke.

 

[Brayr08]

So, question, do/have any of you check your cervix position?

 

[Brayr08]

Sorry, I'm apparently post happy tonight...

So, I think I just hit a new low in TTC...I just googled images of ewcm...Just to make sure I'm not crazy. Let me tell ya...I think I will be haunted by those images the rest of my life. ; ) No, but really, they were helpful, but yuck!

 

[HWPG]

oh bray, you have me laughing!
again, my ewcm is distinct and good, but i have never googled it, and now you've confirmed i dont have to. i try to check my CP but i just dont know what i'm doing. not sure what bit is what in there.... so if you figure it out, maybe you can give me a lesson! ha!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

morning! i caved and tested, bfn to me...but i still have hopes only because it feels my bbs are a little sore and my temp is same as yesterday and tmi but lastnight i had these 3 little burps and they made me throw up in my mouth a little, sorry gross i know, just trying to notice things odd....chart is looking great to me if you ask me. Probably setting myself up for disaster since I've thought my chart looked better than a previous one. I guess i will test again tomorrow, but if bfn again i will wait, cuz i only have 2 more. We'll see what my temp is again in the morning. Glad you're all safe. We never lost power but the wind got crazy. Daughter has school so must not be any trees down or water across roads. Hope you all have a great day. My little one was sick lastnight with a fever and everytime she drinks, she can't keep it down. (This has happened before)...joys of being a mom. Might be a doctor visit in the future.

 

[laustiredttc]

oh Mirolee hang on in there hun, there is light at the end of the tunnel just keep moving forwards.

Rachel great news on the ewcm, now bring on that

Heather your not out hun, not even close. Still keeping fx for ya girl.

Dont even know what cd i am. Not been checking cbfm, not doing opk's. Just relaxing till i get my period. Not bd around O this month as i had my op the same day. Next month will be getting busy

 

[HWPG]

hi!
we weathered the storm just fine; no power loss, although my mom lost power and she's ~10 mins from us. cd435 for me - hehe, jk, just feels that way - just cd21 actually. still doing opks, good thing i bought 50 i.c's! temp is still low, like pre-Ov, so i'm hoping in the next 3 days.... heather, i had thought about the dtd every day thing with sperm - you're right, we dont know the quality of his soldiers, but to be honest, we cant keep up the every day thing anyways, so sometimes it happens twice in a row, but more commonly it's every other day. i'm hoping that is enough; everything i've read said that it should be enough. neg opk again this morning - and at this point, i cant tell if the line is getting darker, like gearing up to Ov, or not. i def have a line, it's just not positive. sorry about the bfn but it's still way early; and having to be up with your youngest must have taken a toll on your sleep. rach, you had me cracking up last night! glad to hear your environment is so hospitable! laura, wish i had a little bit of your relaxation... esp with my Ov delay, i could use a little bit of a laid back approach. saturday! saturday i'll be swimming up to the bar in the pool - at least i'll be able to drink in Mexico, woot woot! thank as always for the support and encouragement.

 

[Brayr08]

I got a pos OPK this morning and when I pulled my soft cup out this morning, the left overs were pink, which makes me think I maybe did O since I spotted the day of O last month. When I tried to feel my cervix, it felt like it was really high and maybe open, but I'm just guessing. I'm w/you Mirolee, I have no idea what's going on down there. hehe We bd last night, but I don't know how good of quality his swimmers were since it's been a while since we've had sex. Also, when I pulled out my stick for the OPK, I didn't think the line looked dark enough, but I think the reader just checks for a certain level of that hormone to give a pos. I'll just pee on the test tomorrow without the reader and see if the line is lighter or darker. I guess I'll just keep temping and see what happens. I'm not really expecting a whole lot this month. I think it may just take a cycle for the clomid to get me regulated. We'll see.

 

[HWPG]

bray, a few things to keep in mind: the electronic reader is different than the by-eye sticks. the lines def do not need to be darker to get a positive. HURRAY on the pos opk (cant believe you got yours before me, damn you woman!)!!!! even if his swimmers werent the Lochte's of the fleet, at least there will be some in the tunnel waiting. get another bd in tonight, and tomorrow girl! i'm SO jealous! and last, did it hurt to take the softcup out? cause i get a little pink also, but i think it's cause it scrapes the sides a bit.... what a short cycle! how exciting! did i mention i'm jealous!????

 

[Brayr08]

It's not the most comfortable thing to take out and when I use them multiple times, I do feel like the rubber or something is irritating me.
I sort of wish I hadn't got my pos yet. I'm afraid that unless the clomid made my follicles grow super fast, I'm not going to have anything that's viable. Oh well. We'll bd tonight and tomorrow night (which reminds me, I need more soft cups!) and then go every other day until I see a temp shift. I get to start taking my supositories on Thursday twice a day. Yipee...I've heard they can be quite messy. I wish I could use my magic wand to see what was going on up there (my magic wand is usually a wand with a condom on it filled with blue goo that they stick up my hoo-haa to see how many follicles I have and how big they are). I HATE not knowing!!! And girl, I'm sure you'll get your pos soon. Your follicle is just getting nice and fat with a nice ripe juicy egg for the OH's to penitrate and make you a mama.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

ok i'm in the middle of eating lunch and i just feel sick. I hope it's a good thing and i hope tomorrow shows me something.

YAY! Rachael...that's awesome! I just can't get over how short your cycles are and O so early! Can the clomid work that quick? You just started it on Friday and today is Tuesday? I hope it works for you, I don't know what it is suppose to help with, but whatever it is....FX!!!

Mirolee-jealous your going on vacation. My mom lost power as well, but she is 6 hours from me. Well, your next for opk. FX for you as well.

cd23 today,9dpo...i am sooo ready to see 2 lines. Hopefully tomorrow. I wish I wouldn't have tested today...

 

[Brayr08]

The clomid is supposed to give you a better quality egg/s and the suppositories are supposed to give you a better environment so you don't miscarry early. Basically.

 

[Brayr08]

Oh and mama, maybe feeling sick is a good thing? Hopefully you aren't getting what your daughter had. Hopefully you've got a baby in there making you feel yucky.

 

[HWPG]

i hope your sickness is a good sign heather, but i did think you were going to say you were sick at our posts, hahah! close one! tomorrow cant be here soon enough!
i also wish i could see my follies. and poke them. and get them to come out! i'm lol-ing that you used "juicy egg" and "penetrate" in the same sentence... because i am 14 years old.... yea, those softcups are awesome, but in order to be awesome they are might huge. and crinkly. have you noticed that? i still blush after we dtd and i'm putting it in and it's liek "KKKRKRKRRRKKKRKKRKKKKKK!!!!!". i think it might have a microphone hidden in there somewhere 'cause it seems so loud.... oh i am silly today...

 

[Brayr08]

I like that you liked my wordage...I'm 14 too, so it's okay. They are loud! I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. DH usually doesn't say anthing, but it is sort of embarrising and I feel like I have to put my whole freaking hand up there (okay, I really can't fit my whole hand into my vag) just to get it where it's supposed to sit. The things we do...

 

[NewandNervous]
