I know I have been missing all week, my back is just back to normal, got my first decent nights sleep last night....... sigh

Gave my DF a right talking to last night about timing and BDing. I told him I will give it all up unless he does his part for the 4 days I need him to each month! I know its not romantic, but argh, I have been BBTing for months, taking pills till I rattle and don't even ask about the taste of Vitex in tincture form... ewwwww! So enough is enough........... I have only had 2 good BDing months, the rest have been low, and I don't have time for this shoddy, slap-handed approach!

Yep I have come back all guns blazing.......... if he doesn't do his duty, then I am giving this all up!

Oh and hello ladies!

 

[Fezzle]

Good for you, atty!

 

[Sis4Us]

Sometimes u Gotta lay it down so they Understand Men!!!

Glad u got UR point across!!

Hi everyone!

Good for you Atty!!! Men are so frustrating!

Terri - that's great news. I need to get my ass in gear and find a fertility specialist soon. I'm feeling too crappy to think about it today, though.

My doc put me on antibiotics that he claims are safe for TTCing ... Not sure that I 100% believe it but I have no choice I guess. Feeling too crappy to BD anyway.

 

[Wish4another1]

Terri - You go girl - I think we always feel just a little bit better when we take control and feel like we are moving forward! I hope you are preg and don't need their services anyway!!!

garfie - ugh on too early ovulation - I had that last cycle - and my cycle ended up 20 days... ya that sucked... here's hoping your's is a fakey!!

Atty - that a way!!! tell him like it is... you know guys are not good at guessing things - some times being straight is the only way they will truly understand what we want... I hope he willingly gives you your 4 times at just the right time!!!

kfs - im sorry you are still sick hope you get to feel better soon and those meds dont mess with anything!!

AFM - the has exited stage right... another 4 day af - that's two cycles in a row that af lasted 4 days - in the past she stuck around for 6-7 days... I am not complaining - she doesn't need to over stay her welcome... OPK neg this morning... Day 5... OPK testing has begun...

Thanks everyone. I don't feel like I'm infertile, and I feel bad thinking so when there really are people who are infertile and doing all the can and have been for years, it's just that NOW, I realize that I will be 40 in two months, and what if my eggs really are gone/dying/losing their potency. I just want to take action now. Whatever they offer than I can afford either through insurance or whatever is what I'll do.

Atty-Way to grab the bull by the horns. No more messing around!

kfs1-Well, call when you feel better. I'm just tired of waiting 2 months and 2 months. I'm not 30 or even 35 anymore. And I'm still a smidge upset that my doctor didn't want to do bloodwork when I asked her for it. I trusted her but knowing everything else is healthy (thyroid, cholesterol) has nothing to do with your girl hormones (FSH, AMH, estradiol, etc).

garfie-I hope it's a FO as well. Day 6 is super early. Did you change anything this time around?

Wish-Awesome on the 4 day AF. I have short ones, and it is pretty nice. Less money on tampons/pads, less time being miserable.

Time for lunch (burrito-day two). Be back later!

Well ladies it's very quiet in here, are you all out enjoying your weekend! Well it's the beginning of Paddy's weekend here, means the supermarkets are heaving because it's a bank holiday weekend. The pubs are full of idiots and everyone is looking forward to tractors pulling trailers filled with local farmers dressed up and the odd fiddle! Welcome to Paddy's weekend out in the sticks!
Ps managed to Bd 2 days running and a positive OPK today (very early) but still took another talking to my DF. You know for a guy who's a doctor of science in bio chemistry he's a bit slow on taking what I'm saying on board! Grrr! MEN!!!!

 

[Sis4Us]

Lol I bet your parade wil be more exciting than my local one! I was in it a few years back with my kids, dressed as a fair trade banana! Don't ask, all I will say it beat being a dancing orange, which I was a few years earlier! I remember that parade so well, only because I think we looked so misrible. A bunch of bananas with runny noses cause it snowed and hailed for the whole parade! Lol

We've been caught in the rain B4 but they got the most Loot cuz the crowd was small but we usually get Sun Burns cuz it's the 1st time baking in the sun After winter!!

I'm going out tomorrow for some colcannon and corned beef! I can't wait. I have some schoolwork to do first, and then going out will be my treat. My "local" bar is up for sale, so every time I have an opportunity to hang with my longtime bar friends, I will take it. The husband/owner of the bar passed away in October right before our wedding, and now the wife is running it on her own, and struggling big time. That's why it's for sale. However, she lives upstairs from the bar, so she keep trying to sell it for a high price so no one accepts her offer. I don't think they make a profit at all. The beers/food are inexpensive, but that's why everyone likes going there.

Anywho...she makes an awesome colcannon, and corned beef/cabbage, so I have to go this year as it may be my last.

Wish-I like your wedding picture. So pretty!!
Atty-Have a fun time at the parade.

 

[Wish4another1]

Thanks Terri - that is one of my fav pics - I love the way he is looking at me - like he likes me!!!!
Ladies - I'm thinking I am going to tonight and I am totally not fertile !!! I know what is that???
Hope you all have a great st paddy's day weekend!!!

 

[battyatty]

I'm going out tomorrow for some colcannon and corned beef!

I haven't had real corned beef in years, hmmm me thinks I might pop out to the butchers and get some for Monday!

Well yesterday I got my very first blazing +OPK, never happened before, not sure if that is due to the OPKs I was using before, these new ones are super sensitive! Funny thing and here's a question, I did get ewcm, but that was days ago, the last 3 days it has been creamy? Been trying to google an answer.....
can you have non fertile cm with a + OPK????? This happened last month also, that's why FF couldn't work out my CH?

 

[terripeachy]

What kind of OPKs are you using now? I had EWCM this morning, but didn't think to take an OPK in the bathroom with me, so I'll use one the next time I go to the bathroom. I think it's too early for O day, but who knows with my body. I think it's possible to have several days of EWCM before you actually ovulate, so I would just make sure you BD and cover your bases. Oh, and I don't always get fertile CM, but I still ovulate.

Yeah, go get some corned beef. Hopefully someone saved some for you at the butcher! hee hee.

And finally, Roxy is now up for adoption. Her biopsy was clear, and she was happy to go for a car ride. She was not happy when I left. One of the volunteers said that the last time I left she was crying for a while before she calmed down. That made me feel SOOO bad. She's in good hands. Hopefully I'll see her at the March for the Animals, which is coming up at the end of April.

 

[kfs1]

Hi everyone!

Atty - I think it's common to have ewcm before your O. I say keep on BDing lady!

Terri - Awww. I'm sure Roxy will find a great home. That must be so tough though.

Wish - that is a great picture!

Sis - glad you'll be able to sleep in. Sounds great.

Quiet here. Started OPKs this morning. Negative but hope to get some flashing smileys soon. Still feeling crappy though so my temps are kinda wacky (plus i haven't been sleeping well).

All of your St. Paddy's Day plans sound great!! My husband's parents are hosting St. Paddys tomorrow. I'm hoping to feel better so I can chow down on some corned beef, too.

 

[terripeachy]

Success! I saw some "friends" that I hadn't seen in a while. The bar started getting super crowded, so I rolled out, but it was a great time while I was there. I was going to upload a pic, but I might have to do it from my phone. Grrr....more later.

 

[ERosePW]

Hi lovelies! Just wanted to check in while I have a free moment and check everyone's posts and say hello. It's fun catching up, but then I can't comment on everyone's posts so I'm looking forward to March being over so things will slow down a bit for me.

AFM, I'm a bit discouraged and confused. My body is doing weird things. My temp went up to post-O temps on cd11. I was doing IC OPKs sorta randomly in case the HSG were to affect my cycle, and they were all neg. But I don't recall if I did one on cd10 or not. When I start them that early, I don't note it in my chart. I started the CB digital opk on cd11 and, as expected, no smiley. I've been testing since then though, thinking maybe the higher temps were just a fluke, but still no smiley. On clomid, I usually get the smiley by the night of cd12 or the morning of cd13. And my temp never jumps until cd14/15. So I don't know what to make of this. Since I'm taking clomid, I should not be able to O the very day after my last clomid pill, so this doesn't make sense. I'm just so frustrated since this is my HSG cycle. I just don't think it's possible to O the day after the clomid is done. I thought it took a few days before O could occur. Just don't know what to think, and it's really frustrating. Does anyone know any different? Or does anyone know if an HSG can affect a woman's body this way? Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.
