[MsRipple]

Look good beth!

todsmommy hope you feel better and are pregnancy immuno suppressed !

cupcake . Love it! I keep having this picture of having a girl in August. Which would mean not this cycle so hopefully my psychic sense is fuzzy by a few months!

black how's beta-ing

jalima nice strong o line!

 

[Blackrain90]

Busy week so getting bloods pulled Friday. Don't really have much for symptoms currently except occasional heartburn or hunger. Probably gonna buy some dollar store cheapies so I can see a line, haha going through POAS withdrawal.. Just have to be sneaky as dollar store is right next to work.

Beth that is gorgeous!!!

Angel I don't think it would be implantation cramping as that would be so so early. I didn't implant until I think 8dpo last month. I think your plan sounds good hopefully your body is regulating itself by now!

Ripple - thanks I am hoping they same thing lol

 

[mrscletus]

Well I got AF today.. Saw it coming as temp dropped this am. So here goes this cycle.... Fx for everyone that is continuing on, and yippee to all the BFPs!! Lucky thread just needs to rub off on the rest of us! Lol

 

[todmommy4568]

Black can't wait to see your blazing dark line! Are you excited to get bloods done?

So laugh of the day....I was at Walmart buying groceries this morning and making small talk with the cashier when I unzipped my jacket and wiped the sweat off my forehead and I go "man is it hot in here today or what?" She gave me the most dumb founded look and goes umm, no, it's not

 

[todmommy4568]

So sorry Cletus

Thanks! I'm excited to see progression, now its onto the other worries. I will get bloods Tuesday though. Then Ultrasound at 7 weeks (last week oct) to check for viability. My last pregnancy was a missed miscarriage. 12 weeks, only to find everything stopped at 6. I DO NOT want to go through that again.
Black- TEST! I wanna see! lol

 

[MsRipple]

10 dpo. Still waiting to test. Less watery cm and cramping mostly gone. I do now have an oddly dry mouth. Can't tell if that's psychosomatic or if all that watery cm dehydrated me

 

[todmommy4568]

Ripple dry mouth is a good sign! Test tomorrow?

 

[Angel5000]

Sorry Cletus

blackcant wait to see that line!!!

Beth I'm keeping fx that everything is good for you this time around.

 

[PnutProtector]

Ripple! I’m hoping next cycle I get those darn crosshairs. I’m going to try Vitex and use the CVS brand OPKs. Now that I have gotten the hang of the temping, I think it’ll work out.

So sorry about AF Ivksa

LOVELY line Beth!! So happy for you! That looks more like a sticky bean line to me too!

Angel5 - I’m glad you have made a decision that is best for you.

GO Jalilma! Catch that eggy!!

TEST Black! I want to see that line!


AFM, Cramping is all but gone today. And my temp took a nosedive this morning. I think I’m out, but I guess we’ll see what the weekend brings.

 

[MsRipple]

Haha. I'm such a chicken about testing. Don't want to see a bfn!

 

[MsRipple]

Hmmmm pnut if you did o at the last dip maybe implantation? Do you know how long you luteal phase usually lasts?

 

[cscbeth8421]

Pnut- you had same dip last month on cd 29. I think youre 7 dpo... Could be implantation.

 

[Sapphire86]

Sapphire Thank you so much for the info!! How long were you out for maternity leave?

I'm wondering if having a due date in July/August, where I don't even start the year with the kids until I come back, would be really horrible or not. I guess I could always go in on the first day at least so the kids KNOW me and then figure everything else out when I come back. As a math teacher I have the added difficulty of never having a sub who can actually teach my curriculum. But that's less of a concern for me than missing that opportunity to get the procedures in place. I never did think about the fact that going in at the beginning, getting it how I like, then leaving, then coming back could be worse. It would be so much better if I had gotten pregnant when we first started trying and had ended up with a due date that just let me miss the last bit of the school year!

I only took 6 weeks because that was what I'd accumulated as paid leave (not to mention im happier when i work and make dh crazy whenever im at home .) I teach hs math so I did have to deal with some holes when I returned... especially in my honors geometry... but the kids were amazingly resilient and after about a month back we were all back to normal. After my last experience I'll be thrilled with any due date because I know my kids at school will adapt.

I also teach HS math (Geometry & Alg2), so that is where my biggest fear comes in: filling in the holes! But I'm glad to hear that things went so well for you, maybe it will not be as big of a concern as I thought. I have short term disability so I have the opportunity to take up to 3 months, and get most of my monthly pay, so that isn't as big of a concern. Just that 3 months feels like a lot of time to be away from the kiddos.

I'm so glad to have found another teacher here! That really helps me to talk to others!

 

[Blackrain90]

Haha here is my test! 16DPO/4w3d

 

[Lawes1987]

CD30, 13dpo, AF due yesterday, yesterday. Will test again in the morning. I've had a very weird external heat around my tummy, lower tummy zone. Touching it with my hand and it's mega warm. Don't know if that's good or bad.

 

[Blackrain90]

And Pnut I agree that 7dpo is a great time for implantation dip...just saying

 

[Lawes1987]

Haha here is my test! 16DPO/4w3d

It's getting there!
