I can definitely see something on both pictures. Fx it gets darker for you!! When is af due?

I am back to work today so I am hoping I will have less time to sit and obsess. I have just been in a terrible mood for three days. I have been having so much pain and cramps and no positive opk to show for it.

 

[todmommy4568]

Krissie I hope work does the trick and helps you feel more settled

AF is due Friday or Saturday.

Krissie i hope you won't have to wait for O much longer!
I do remember though with the cycle i got pregnant, i had lots of O pains and only got a positive OPK on the day my temp was already up. So no positive OPK doesn't have to mean no O.

I think we've decided on a fun idea for how to "reveal" gender to our family/friends that aren't around. When we did our initial announcement we used a picture of a onesie that says "Player 3 has entered the game" with 2 XBox controllers (one black and one pink ) and a little wii controller with the cord "attached" to the pink xbox controller. (with the writing coming to a hospital near you, January 2017).

So I saw a video online this weekend of a family that wrapped up a controller that was either pink or blue and gave it to their daughters to open on video and they opened the present and the color of the controller told them what their new little sibling was going to be. I think I want to do the same thing but since we don't have kids we'll use my niece. She's 5 and knows I'm pregnant and is very interested in the baby. She's constantly asking how long before it gets out of my tummy. Then we will video it and send it to my mom, or friends, or post to FB or whatever we decide to do.


Cletus - LoL I hear "training" and my mind automatically goes to conference ( teacher thing ). Keep us updated!

Shan - I see a shadow of something on that test! I can't wait to see if it gets darker!

Krissie - Hopefully work helps you settle down and O happens!

Funny enough I was reading stories like this to help calm me down yesterday. I am definitely having lots of twinges today and I had good fertile cm last night so thinking it will happen soon. Someone on another thread mentioned anxiety on clomid and this higher dose has really messed with me. I am so emotional and anxious about everything. If we do another round I am thinking of going back down to 50 mg. I feel crazy right now!!

 

[Blackrain90]

Shan I see something on both!! (And Jess saw something so that's a good sign haha!)

Krissie I hope you O soon!! How frustrating!

Jess that sounds like an adorable way to do a gender reveal!

 

[krissie328]

Jess- I just love your idea for a reveal!!

I might have to steal that one. With DS our announcement was three xbox controllers with the same Player three has entered the game.

I love the idea as well jess, so cute! And I can't wait to finally know what you're having

As for me, and I just now realized (it's 10pm for me, so day is almost over ) - it's my V DAY
Seriously, I didn't think i would get to experience this day so soon after all the anovulatory cycles I had end of last year until february. I'm still so in awe and thankful that it pretty much happened immediately after I started ovulating again (we didn't have a shot in february as there was no BDing at all during O time then, but we caught immediately the following cycle).
I guess I will actually have a baby in my arms in November/December

and here's my V Day bump

 

[mrscletus]

I wish there was a way to secretly go get a test here! Problem is I don't want everyone knowing my business!!! Lol.. So I wait, super anxious and cannot believe I am having this LONG of a cycle if I'm not pg!! Like for real..
Your bump is so adorable!!! You are looking great!
Shan- I think I see something girly!

 

[krissie328]

Happy v-day Heike. You have such a cute bump.

 

[Angel5000]

Happy V Day Heike!! And your bump is adorable!!

 

[mrscletus]

Day 30... Over here praying for an airdropped pack of Wondfos!!!! Hahahaha

 

[todmommy4568]

Happy v day heike!

Julie how many more days left?

Can I vent for a second? Good because I'm going to I am so frustrated today. My exhusbands fiancé text me today and said "I find it funny how Asher doesn't understand boundaries" Usually I don't take her bait but I figured sure I'll bite, why's that? Well apparently there was an issue of Asher flinging his penis around while bathing with his little brother and she says "him having it up in his face".....I put it in quotes because she tends to overreact to situations. Anyways. I asked her why he didn't have any underwear on in the first place and she sent this big response about how I didn't need to get defensive and she was bathing them together and was there the whole time. Now this has happened before and I told her it was normal for children around 4-5 to be exploring their sexuality and that she shouldn't bathe them together because clearly that wasn't working. So when she brought this to my attention once again I got mad and responded with "don't f*ckin bathe them together! The only place this ever happens is at your house not with friends or at school or anywhere else" well you can imagine from there we just fought like teenagers. Anyways, once my brother and I started comparing parts my mom made us stop bathing together. I think this is the same situation, plus don't have a 2 and 5 year old bathe together. At home he knows it is private and you don't show people your junk and so on so how confusing that she wants him to be naked with his brother when at home you aren't supposed to be naked with anyone?? Then I text my best friend to talk to her about it and she said that since that happened and Asher had had some tantrums at school months and months ago that I should send him to therapy. His behaviors coincided with Kevin going back to work and not being around as much and the behaviors have since stopped so I contributed it to that situation I am just feeling so attacked right now, my ex's fiancé and I definitely have our differences but to go to my best friend and get further put down was a shock. Now I'm just sitting around crying and feeling like a horrible parent

 

[Blackrain90]

Shan I'm sorry you're having a rough day. It is perfectly normal for boys to have a fascination with their penis at that age, and your right, it's probably best not to bath him with the 2 year old, so if she knows that and does it anyways she's being a twat. And I don't think that some tantrums and flinging his penis around are cause for therapy. Sucks when you just want your friend to listen and support you and she comes off at you like that.

You know your son best, don't let anyone make you feel like you aren't a good parent because they think they know better. He is your son, end of story.

 

[todmommy4568]

Thanks heather

 

[krissie328]

Shan- so sorry hun.

I agree with Heather. This is a completely normal stage of development. It sounds like she clearly is going against what you mentioned before and the results are similar. You do know him best and I am sure there is nothing to worry about.

 

[cupcake.]

What?! Seriously maybe it's the way i was brought up but tbh at that age what else do you expect from a little boy, especially around his family where he feels comfortable.
And the way she opens the conversation it's obvious she just wanted confrontation.. I'm sorry it got ugly

Obviously those things depend hugely on ones own values and stuff, i've been brought up very open mindedly and i seriously don't see why his behaviour would be soo bad. If Asher really wouldn't listen when he's asked not to do it, then not bathing the two boys together is the simplest solution. I don't see how therapy would do anything other than making him feel like his body is something to be ashamed of, even in front of family..
Don't feel like a horrible parent you're definitely not!

 

[todmommy4568]

Thanks krissie!

Heike I was brought up in a way where you weren't ashamed of your body at all and I have been pretty open with him too so I don't expect him to be a prude haha. He doesn't play with himself when he is taking a bath by himself so that leads me to think he is just "showing off" or whatever it is boys think when he is forced to bathe with his brother.

I feel so much better getting that off my chest without a bunch of backlash I am just going to stick to my guns about not having them bathe together

 

[Blackrain90]

Yeah they pretty much see it as a toy haha.
