October Sticky Beans!

Calling all the test crackers! I cracked open my frer from last night because there was a spot where the strip was too close to the casing and was causing a wet spot that made the test hard to read. Didn't take it out of the casing just cracked enough to get the wet spot to go away. Has anyone ever gotten this bad of an evap after cracking their test? I have taken them apart before and never had this happen.

:haha: I have been so out of it today. I posted that and immediately thought "hmm, I think I saw a flower bet that was cletus" was just too tired to look :dohh: you could BD every day though and then the reply would still be valid :rofl:
 
I know I could never do it! I have enough trouble with the 8-10 times a month I do manage lol
 
Yayyyyyyy Laubull!!!!!:happydance:
Welcome Candi, hope this thread will be lucky for you!!

I've been a mess today, got a wicked head cold and can't take anything for it and can't take time off of work. Brain isn't functioning at all (it is taking me forever to type this because I keep misspelling everything haha).

Also got a lovely baby bloat going on (on top of already having a chubby stomach on a very small frame). Look like I'm 4 months along so gonna have to buy some loose shirts or people at work are gonna start talking.

Sooooo.... Who has/ has had increased creamy/milky cm before a bfp? Really trying not to symptom spot... Honest I am ....

Haha no one ever really tries to symptom spot. Can't say I had that CM, but didn't have really any for the most part this time. Last time it was a lot of thick EW/jelly like CM. So obviously everyone will be different haha.
 
Black buuuuuut AW! There's a little bean in there so it's perfectly fine to poke out a bit! :baby:

I have made an observation... the three or four "fertile days" that I get each month seem to zip past and there's never enough time (or energy) to BD as much as I want but those days that I'm waiting to O or during the TWW are SLOW SLOW SLOW! I keep looking at FF to see if I am magically 10DPO yet... nope, still 2DPO:haha:

Just arrived in Vegas for my TWW retreat!:happydance: Well, my family lives here so I'm spending time with them in an attempt to distract myself while DH is traveling for work. OH WAIT.. ALL MY FRIENDS HERE HAVE BABIES...haha not much of a distraction from TTC.
 
@Blackrain90 I get so happy when I see your posts <3 <3

@todmommy4568 waiting to see bfp :D

@cscbeth8421 also waiting for some more news from you :) :)

I hope that no one minds if I write a little RANT/story here...
I've been feeling very emotional and I thought maybe writing would help a bit. No need to actually read this :P.


I met my husband in 2011. We got married in 2012, which was after him leaving the US to go back to Saudi for 4 months (I didn't know if he would be back or not). After we got married I finished my MA and we moved to Iowa, so he could get his MS. 2 months before he finished I got a job offer to teach English (I accepted it because it was my only way of getting into the country and once he left the US it would be difficult for him to get a visa to come back).

So, I went to KSA alone after spending the Christmas holiday with my grandparents. I spent 10 days in Bahrain to get the visa and then traveled to Saudi to start my new job. It was hard, but I was happy because I knew that it was a step forward. I was living in company accommodation in a single apartment. I was working at the largest all female university in the world. I felt really patient.

My husband finished his studies and came to KSA, but stayed with his family in another city (5 hours away) while trying to find a job. 3 months later he found a job in the same city as me and he started working. When my work ended for the summer he rented an apartment in a hotel and I went to stay with him (a risky situation in KSA). I went home for a few weeks to see my family and came back.

I started a new job at one of the strongest universities in KSA. I went back to the company accommodation so that I could take the bus to work. After 4 months my husband rented an apartment, explained our situation to the landlord, who said that he didn't mind if we stayed there together as we tried to get the paperwork.

In Saudi it is very difficult for a national to marry someone from outside KSA, especially western countries. We started applying for the permission in March 2014 and were denied many times due to my husband's age (he's under 35).

My husband started traveling a lot for work, to see his family and even to take a break. I couldn't go with him to his family because we couldn't announce our marriage until we got the papers finished. I couldn't travel outside the country so much because my employer was the one who issued my exit visas. (people abused the system and so they make strict rules about weekend travel). I can't explain how I felt lonely during that time. I was alone in the house and even though I invited people to come visit, it wasn't often enough.

This past May our papers were finally approved. We went to the court and signed our marriage contract. I went home to the USA after finishing work in June. My husband couldn't come because of work. In August I went to his city for the first time and we had a very large wedding celebration.

After that I started a new job and he went back to work. At the end of August he traveled to Canada. Mid September I traveled to the US and we had some time together before our wedding reception with my family.

Now we are back in KSA. Both of us are working. My husband is working what seems like 24 hours a day. He's in the office until 6 pm and when he comes home he either naps or he's on his phone/computer for work. When we go out of the house and we're in the car, 95% of the time he is talking on the phone for work.

BASICALLY...

I'm feeling so emotional because it has been a hard 3 years of being away from each other constantly. Now we have finished our papers and I felt it would be so much easier, but I feel I miss him so much. He can be next to me physically, but mentally I feel he isn't there with me. I don't want to say anything to him right now because I know he is stressed and busy and trying to be successful in his work. I'm just sad... He is the best husband and a wonderful man, but I feel alone still...
 
Alone, An hcg of 736, doesn't mean too much. I will be getting it drawn again on Thursday to be sure it's increasing since i have a history of miscarriage. So Thursday it should be around 1400-1500. Fingers crossed.
 
Black - good signs that baby is doing well! On another note I love that side braid, I can't wait until my hair is long enough for that again lol!

Ivksa - that sounds really tough, I couldn't even imagine! :hugs:

Boston - yay for vacation hope you have a great time!
 
BTW, yesterday at 19dpo smu, i think i maxed out my testing.

Black - loving the little belly pooch. Tho I really didn't realize that starts to happen this early!!

Ivksa- oh wow! That is really hard! I didn't realize just how much you guys had to go through! I can see how hard it would be with him working so much. I hope you are able to spend some quality time together soon. i wonder if he just doesn't realize how lonely you feel? Men are sometime so oblivious.


Beth that is the most beautiful dark line ever!!!!! I'm so jealous right now. :)
