Please, August, do not taunt- it's BFPs that we want!

[RobertRedford]

Hi ladies, crazy weekend with no Internet at home!! Looks like I have a tonnnnn to catch up on. Af is still here, took the day off of work for personal reasons (ill explain later) so ill catch up tonight or tomorrow. Hope you're all doing well!

 

[clynn11]

Love the name Alya nikki, but I agree that I pronounce Alya as Al-yuh and Alia as al-ee-uh, so not sure which pronounciation you were going for. I actually love both lol.

Nichole- yay for testing and getting o nthe right track! So excited and ready for you to get your BFP!!!

Welcome to the new girls! So happy to have you here with us!

Morgan- I O on CD12 every cycle, before I drank fertilitea I O'd anywhere from CD11 to CD16, so it could definitely be your true positive! BD BD BD BD!!!!!

AFM, I don't even know how many dpo I am lol. Doesn't really matter anyways. Excited for next cycle to come to hopefully have a chance. We'll see.

 

[frsttimemama]

Morgan -- at least you caught it! Good luck!

Nikki, I really like that name. Either pronunciation is cute, and I think it's a nice meaning behind it, too.

I agree. Yesterday was CD1. So now I wait. When should I start OPK's? I couldn't keep a BFP secret from my hubby at all! The first time, I burst out of the bathroom waving it at him, asking what it was. Happy Friday to him. Lol. Can't wait for next time!

I start the day after my period ends but I use answer so I get 20 of the buggers in a pack. I had no idea when or if I O'd and had a positive opk on day 13 last month. Good luck. I will probably start on day 8 or so even though af has ended on cd 3 apparently.

[RobertRedford]

Thanks, Katrina!

Nichole, SO glad that Af came! Your clomid cycle can finally start! woohooo!

Ash, did you have a good weekend on the houseboat?

Rachel, holy cow those numbers are GREEAT!

Emily, I addressed your package wrong so they sent it back to me. Poo! Sending it again tomorrow from work

Cassidy, how are you?

I took the day off of work and got caught up on everything. I have been receiving anonymous emails to my work email recently harassing me, threatening to harm me, etc. It feels like a sick joke! We are pretty sure we finally found out who it was, and last night was really rough, so I stayed home today to get my head on straight. AF is still here and nasty as hell. TMI but this am in the shower I didnt have a tampon in and I had multiple clots (like quarter sized) coming out of me. Normally during AF I have maybe one clot on CD 2, but not this many this late. I'm a little concerned.

 

[mommyxofxone]

my poor girl is sick today, she keeps coughing/sneezing/ and constant runny nose drs said just keep an eye on her, but i hear her coughing in her sleep and it makes me so sad. she turns 2 tomorrow and is going to have a cold.

 

[clynn11]

WTF Amanda?!?! Who would do that kind of thing?? Ridiculous! I hope they catch whoever it is.

Awee mommy, i'm so sorry your daughter is sick! FX she gets better very fast!!!

I'm doing great! Just living life. Enjoying not sitting here stressing myself over whether I am pregnant or not because there is no possibility lmao. So i'm enjoying my month off and looking forward to trying again next month. Went to a family reunion Saturday and a baby shower yesterday so i've been busy!

 

[jury3]

frsttimemama-I'm sorry work was tough today, but I'm sure tomorrow will be easier..and the day after a little easier than that...thinking of you!

Nikki-I like the name! Do you pronounce it a-lee-uh or a-lie-uh? I kind of like the second pronunciation...in fact, I like it enough to consider putting it on my list! lol DW is jewish

Nichole-Yeah, it sounds like they did CD3 bloodwork plus a little extra maybe. Can't wait to hear...I hope you O on cd14! However, don't be surprised if you don't O that early. Some people it seems to regulate them right away and some they still O later, but it might regulate more over a few months of it. BUT that doesn't mean you won't be far enough along by your bday to test!!! lol

Amanda-I hope everything is ok...

AFM-First day back to work was super exhausting. I was told I was being moved for the self-contained position based on my "adept skills"...there was no one qualified for the position blah blah blah. So I get there today and there's another girl who is like "I was hired for the self-contained position". There is only one self-contained room/position, so we are all like "What the f***?!" See my boss and ask her. She's like "I picked Julie specifically for the self-contained position." (P.S. this fits into my theory that she requested me to move to her new school so she could continue to torture me...) Then 2 seconds later was like, "it doesn't matter to me, you guys can decide who's doing what position" WOW! So much for my adept skills being the reason I moved...I honestly don't care what position I'm doing, but I'm seriously losing faith in the system! Get a backbone and make a decision...Anyway, then I had to get into my old school to go through the 5 million boxes I packed up a few months ago and separate my items from the school items. It was a lot of work but I got it done! Now I have to move it all to my new classroom and get set up...all before Monday and we have professional development everyday. It's gonna be a long week! lol

 

[jury3]

Amanda-You posted while I was writing my post! lol Oh no! That's horrible! Why would someone do something like that?! People are so horrible sometimes...

 

[NDTaber9211]

I got some of my labs back. FSH and Estradiol (ovarian reserve tests) are normal but my thyroid test (TSH) came back a little high. She said it was still in the normal range but for someone ttc, she wants to see it lower. She prescribed me a low dose thyroid hormone replacement medication.

 

[ItthyBThpider]

Holy moly that's a lot to catch up on!

Nikki - I like the name! I like spelled Alia better, too, unless it's pronounced a-lie-uh

Nichole - When I thought I was pregnant last cycle (I swore I was pregnant and I thought I had a faint bfp), I bought a bunch of tests and a brownie with icing and was going to write "hello dad" in the icing and bring it to him. The only reason I didn't run out of the bathroom screaming was because it was so light. It gave me time to plan XD

Amanda - that's aweful! I'm glad you guys figured out who it was. I don't understand why people would do such horrible things.

AFM - I'm 5dpo according to ff. I keep having cramps and my labia hurts, which is weird. I still don't really feel like I O'd, but I must have.I feel likr this cycle is just a wash. DH and I were talking about using softcups next cycle though. He's always worried his little guys are falling out too fast XD

 

[NDTaber9211]

Amanda- wow how awful! I'm glad you figured out who was doing it.

Julie- what bull****! I'd be so pissed.

 

[NDTaber9211]

ItthyBThpider- I think I might bake him a cake that says congrats dad or like yours, hellp dad. I think that would be awesome!

 

[morganwhite7]

Nichole- Congrats on mostly good news!! What a relief.

Used a Softcup lastnight for the first time! (Btw- WTF. That thing was so nasty this morning.. you guys were right lol.. barf!) I think my O is approaching, and I must just have a super surge of LH a few days before, as usual. Kinda strange though, I wonder why it would be so dark on a First Response and then just faint on a cheapie? Anyone have any experience w/ these tests? I know somebody said don't get em but Walgreens was out of my kind!!! Still no EWCM yet though, should be here soon! Haha ahhh- LET THE BABYMAKING COMMENCE!!!

 

[morganwhite7]

Mommy- Sorry for a sick babe :/ What a great opp to snuggle and make it all better

Cassidy- Why do you keep saying you're out.. why's that? (I prob forgot whtev it was.. lol)

Julie- Your stories of the school admin are killing me. I can't stand to see that. Not only are you being treated poorly, but the whole lesbian thing fires me up too. We had a WONDERFUL teacher in HS who was also gay and suffered the most horrible mistreatment. I just mean teachers/kids/parents like to make believe that it really matters in a school system. Like really people? Are the guy teachers actively pursuing all the young ladies?!?! NO I don't think so! Wtf I just don't understand how some people's minds work. Lol. I am christian and also all for gay rights. In fact, I've told DH on MULTIPLE occasions that if he left me I'd say screw every man out there and be with a girl.. Lol how fun would that be!

(Sorry for the weird rant, and I truly hope I did not offend anyone! Just thought I'd share my views )

P.s. Anyone use a softcup and feel like it makes you pelvic bone sore? I just feel kinda ouch after having it in all night. Looking forward to trying again tonight but not sure whether or not to use those lil buggars..

 

[goldstns]

Hello Ladies!

Robert- how scary! Why is this person doing this to you? What do you think your work will do? Stay safe please!!!

Julie- UGH! I hate work problems... it makes everything so stressful because you need work to pay the bills, can't just quit. I hope it works out. So sorry! Maybe you can have a sit down talk with her and a third party?

You all are right... i want it to be pronounced A-lee-uh... so I am leaning back to Alia. Thanks for your help! Then I was joking with DH and we both have talked about Layla being a name too... so we said how about Alia Layla (now say that 5 times fast!) ... HAHA!

 

[NDTaber9211]

Morgan- I couldn't have said it better myself! If I witness any discrimination against gay and lesbians I lose my shit. My mom and best friend are gay so I have no tolerance against hate. I was around when my friend came out in high school and got into many fights against people who tried to bully him.

As for the soft cups, I have no problems with them though the longest I've kept it in was around 4 hours. I get a bit paranoid that the cups block some of the swimmers so I still lay there for 15-20 mins before I put it in.

Nikki- Alia Layla is pretty! Kind of a mouthful though

I am still trying to figure out a name for a girl. I am leaning towards Adelyn or Adalind but I keep hearing that name all over now. It seems like it is becoming popular and that saddens me. I also feel like I might be stuck going with Tara Lynn. My name was originally suppose to be Tara so I thought of using it to represent my mom. Lynn is DH's mom's middle name so she would be represented too. I told my mom the name and she started crying. She said Tara Lynn was suppose to me my name to represent her best friend who died when she was young. She was like 'I get to have my Tara Lynn after all!'

I do like the name but Tara Lynn coupled with my last name just sounds so rednecky to me. Good thing I have what seems like a long time to figure out what I want lol. Hopefully I'll have a boy and not have to worry about it

 

[frsttimemama]

Amanda, that'd be horrible! I am so sorry!

Morgan, that's weird, but at least you didn't miss it then! The softcups sound so gross!

Thanks for all the thoughts. I am lucky to work with great, supportive people so it was okay and will get easier everyday. I hope The hardest part is all the pregnant girls around here.. but it isn't their fault. As for AF, I think I may bleed half to death before she gets out of town. GEESH! I have never had one this heavy. Like tmi but I had to change a regular tampon after 40 minutes and a super after about an hour and 15 minutes. Twice already. I'm not sure if that's normal? If it keeps up, I am going to call my OB and ask. I kinda feel like I am out of it for August before I get started. I will be camping days 13-17 and
So we will just BD lots because it will be difficult to do the OPKS those 5 days. Then hubby is going to be out of town during ALL of the days Fertility Friend has calculated as fertile for me. UGH! Oh well. All we can do is try!
