October Sticky Beans!

[krissie328]

Oh great news on the opk mrscletus! I guess all that snow will me useful.

I live in a high elevation desert. So it gets warmer quicker and we get ready hot in the summer. But we also have very cold and dry winters typically. But this year it was really only cold Dec-early March.

Yay for positive OPK cletus!
Lots of your way!

Krissie - Yeah we have a late spring break up here, which drives me insane because I'm used to Texas where our Spring Break was early March. We get out of school here in WA in Mid-June (the 16th I think) so I have a long ways to go still.

Last year was our first year in the house (this month marks 1 year in the house!) so I didn't do much last year in terms of the yard. This year I'm getting some flower garden done and hoping to start to work on my lawn. We have a ton of moss instead of grass, and I want to get rid of it!


Cletus - snowing?! What?! It's supposed to be spring time! But yay for the +OPK!!

I'm on the coast so we don't typically get really really warm weather, but we also don't get much in the way of snow either (which I appreciate, I'm not a fan of extreme weather in either direction).

I must admit I love the Pacific Northwest weather. My family is all from Eugene, OR and I just love it there.

This is also our 1 year mark in our house. I did a lot of clean up in the yard last year. This year I'm getting lots of new flowers that didn't sprout last year so I'm excited to see what they turn into. Today I've been cleaning out more flower beds and taking out weed barrier. I'm hoping this afternoon to plant some bulbs I got last weekend.

Yes snow... And so much for the damn positive... Ugh!! I'm so mad! Sitting here crying, I don't know what else to do, I all but begged for it tonight, and nothing. I'm so over it! I don't know what to do!

Mrscletus - I totally understand your frustration. But you do have some not too bad bd timing already. Is dh trying but unable? Tomorrow am would also work great.

Holy Cow so much yard work today!! Home Depot was having an awesome sale. Mulch is 5 bags for $10, and soil is 5 bags for $10. And I found whiskey barrel planters for $30 (almost half off). We've done a ton of work today. It's looking like we actually take care of our yard! LoL!


So DH has his SA (and blood work) on Tuesday morning and they said he has to make sure he has "cleaned out the pipes" (their words! ) at least 2 days before but not more than 5 days before. however, I'm not allowed to have sex until after my HSG test Tuesday afternoon. So today I had to remind DH that he needs to "prep" for his SA. poor guy. I feel bad (and it feels awkward telling my husbnd he's required to go masturbate! ). I mean I guess I could take care of it, but I am not a huge fan of BJs I don't mind to get things going but I've never been able to really keep it up through the finish. Anyway, sorry if that was TMI. Just feeling kind of bad (and thinking about it because as I was typing this he went to go take a shower after an afternoon of yard work and I was thinking he is probably giong to be in there for a little while )


Krissie - I grew up in Astoria, Oregon (much further north) but have a lot of family in Eugene. i love that area!

I also was very excited to see stuff sprout and find out what I had in the yard! When we moved in last year was April, and so things that I thought were just boring trees or boring green plants started to sprout some very pretty flowers! I've been pulling up weed barrier too. I don't know when they put this down but the weeds have grown through ti so badly that the roots are woven through the barrier. It's really bad. Pulling up a weed pulls up a chunk of barrier. I need to just get it all out.


Cletus - I'm sorry! I understand your frustration. Have had some of those days myself. You still have time tomorrow. You my not O for another day or two, but if you do O today then you have some BD from 2 days ago, which is not bad. I hope you can get him to cooperate tomorrow

 

[mrscletus]

Thanks ladies... I was just overly frustrated last night. And I decided to test this morning and still very positive... And much EWCM today. DH works a double so won't be home until after 10 pm, but hoping that is still ok. Fingers crossed it will be a better night tonight. I probably owe him an apology for being so mad last night. He was just tired.

Totally understand. Hopefully he won't be too tired today (although that's a very late night)) and you can get your egg tonight. Keeping FX for you!

fx he's not to tired tonight.

 

[mrscletus]

Tonight was much better. Fx, that it wasn't too late.
Temp jumped this morning.. So I am guessing I am 1dpo! Yay! Let the waiting game begin!

 

[MsRipple]

Mrs Cletus!

I'm trying to figure out of I really might be 10 dpo instead of 11 dpo (did a little bbt temp adjusting 1 dpo and I temped an hour earlie rthan normal). Usually temp adjusting works just fine for me and has helped me accurately pin O date. If I'm 11 dpo I'm feeling super cautiously hopeful as my temp is bit higher than past cycles at 11 dpo (but not higher than past cycles at 10 dpo).

 

[cupcake.]

Cletus, fingers crossed! I think my timing looked like that and we caught! the day of O is great timing!

Msripple, i hope you caught! Have you tested already? Your temps look so beautiful! FX

 

[MsRipple]

Nope I think a stark white test will make me too sad. Going to try to hold out til wed (day af should be due)

 

[mrscletus]

Your temps look great MsRipple!!! Good thinking to wait to test. I always hate testing too early

 

[Angel5000]

I'm exhausted. First day back to work after spring break is always the worst. Kids are so antsy/tired/annoying. Hoping tomorrow is better, though I'm only working my morning classes because of the HSG in the afternoon.

Cletus - Hope you caught it!!

Ripple - Good thought, waiting to test. I always say I'm going to wait and never do.

 

[krissie328]

I had ewcm today and my boobs are killing me this evening. My opk was negative but I'm hopeful I will o soon! I sure hope so at least!

 

[Angel5000]

Do you usually get sore boobs before O?

 

[krissie328]

Do you usually get sore boobs before O?

I don't think so. I don't have it marked on my ff chart. It usually happens around af. But I'm only cd 14... then again last cycle was only 19 days. So I guess anything is possible.

I should also add it's different. This is all over the the sides. Before af is usually just the nipples.
