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

[Cowgirl07]

Yep, I have my eggs on the counter already. I love them too. I found places that deliver them across the country but they are expensive.

 

[RobertRedford]

yum. I tried to make them once, I just couldn't get my macaroons to be uniform. They were delicious and we tried all sorts of fillings.

I really want this for the next time that I make them: https://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-1052786/Lekue-Macaron-Kit

 

[NDTaber9211]

Ugghhhhh I want macaroons now.

I want one! I have never made them before. Oh well got to love experimenting.

 

[RobertRedford]

Me too. yum. I'm trying to stay away from sweets and this is not helping, haha.

ETA: weird thought of the day. I take the ferry to work instead of driving most days, and I end up sitting next to random people, often times women and pregnant women. I always wonder if they are members of BnB and maybe I actually know them through this forum. Anyone else ever have random thoughts like that? Or is it just me, hahaha.

 

[NDTaber9211]

Just you But seriously, I haven't wondered if they are on BnB but I have had a fleeting thought of you and I being at the same place but not knowing it since we live so close to each other.

 

[RobertRedford]

Nichole, every time I am in your neck of the woods, I think the same thing!

 

[frsttimemama]

Cassidy, that is so frustrating! I'm sorry. Hope they get it figured out soon.

Rachel, that is so so exciting!! Can't wait to hear about it.

Morgan, thanks. I'm still kicking and it's getting a bit better.

My poor hubby.. ha. He says I'm cranky and he forgot about this period business. This is the first in over a year for me. He said I needed to be pregnant so he could have a break from this already.

I'm going to check out the fertility diet. I will take all the help I can get! Is there a link somewhere? I'm trying to eat lots of protein, dairy, fruits, veggies, decaf green tea, flax, water, and avoid breads and starches. And sweets unfortunately! I have such a sweet tooth. Ugh! I have been fortunate enough to lose all but the last 4 pounds of pregnancy weight. I'm so close. Then I want to try to lose more to help with fertility.. and I do have some pounds to lose. Getting pregnant is the best motivation I have ever had though!

I am so antsy! I am the kind of person that when I want something, I do something to make it happen.. not waiting for it to come to me. I feel helpless because there isn't anything I can do to help myself. Does that make sense? Anyone else feel that way? What do you do?

 

[HWPG]

My mantra is "do something, or do nothing". It applies to everything - eating, exercising, jobs, etc. it's my way of telling myself "I have a choice. I can choose to do something - go running, NOT eat that sweet, apply for a new job, find a new bf(I don't want that, I'm just using it as an example)" Alternatively, I can do nothing. I can let life float along, complaining about how I don't get anything - raises, bf's, fit/healthy, etc, how nothing goes my way. So, with infertility, it's the me thing that I can't do anything about. I can try and take vitamins and have sex all the time, but in the end, this one is really out of my hands. So, in response to your question firsttime, yes. I feel helpless frequently. And I will keep taking my supplements and medication and exercising, but I can't wait. I am so impatient. I want this, now. No, yesterday. No, five years ago.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I often think about pregnant people being on here or if I have seen there post on ovufriend or something. I also wonder if I will ever meet my Bnb friends in real life.
I have a large sweet tooth but I usually prefer fruits to desserts. But I have decided to try macrons mostly because I love a challenge and like trying new recipes!

 

[jury3]

Ok, there is way too much to catch up on and comment on everything...

Nichole-Luckily thyroid issues are usually pretty easy to fix with meds...

Morgan-I tried to warn you about the First Response opks...just saying lol
For the ovulation...check out this video, I use it sometimes to "visualize" the process. I use to picture it during acupuncture lol

Kara-Your chart is looking so good! If all of our charts looked like that, we'd have no problems knowing if we O'd or not lol

nini0914-Welcome!


Rachel-Yay for officially missing AF!!!! I'm so excited for you And...the dentist sucks! I have a major gag reflex when it comes to things being in my mouth and that does not mix well with the dentist. I dread having to go while preggo!

Amanda-That fb thing is horrible! Luckily most lesbians do the insemination thing and even if they don't do that they are usually smart enough to get the guy's sperm tested! That's just gross and wrong, I hope it isn't real...
I used to look at beautiful cervix all the time to compare what mine looked like to it lol It's very helpful!

Cassidy-I'm so sorry about all this stuff with DH...I can't even imagine how frustrated you must be right now. Can you get a second opinion? Are there any specialists like that nearby?

Thanks to the ladies who are ranting about lgbt discrimination! It's nice to hear. Although my boss has openly said she doesn't agree with gay marriage, I don't know if she's picking on me bc of that. She knows I didn't agree with her when she had the student with autism hand cuffed, she knows I've talked to the union and HR about her lesbian comments, and she's been wanting to separate our teaching team bc she has a problem with us being such good friends (usually that's a good thing...). I think she hates that we are all on the same page and know more than her. So, I think she's retaliating in her own way. Luckily her boss knows about it and I emailed him yesterday. Others are complaining already too. So, either she will straighten it out or she will be out of there soon. I just can't wait until she's out of there!

[ItthyBThpider]

Holy moly you guys move fast! I feel like I need a diagram to put my responses with each person and what they said and cross reference that with the names in the first page XD

I want a ninja blender. I have started eating a lot more fruits, and would love to make blender drinks, but out blender is a pain in the neck to clean and the lid is all messed up. one of the dogs thought it was a chew toy lol. I have an aweful sweet tootg, but I find that the more fruit I eat, the more that satisfies it and the less I want candy. So yay!

I have often wondered if the next person over is someone from bnb or whatnot. It's interesting that we can be so connected and yet so seperated!

I get so stressed out about money. It's taken us so long to finally recover enough from the accudent and moving that we can finally start saving again for things we need, like repairs for our car and more moving expenses and what not. And more medical bills will be coming soon -.- The healthcare industry should not be for profit!

AFM I have cramps still, and really bad heartburn and random nausea. The nausea isn't my normal "head" nausea, either, but comes right from the stomach. It'a getting my hopes up a tiny bit, and I still don't even feel like I O'd! Can't mistake the temp from this am, though. Darn symptom spotting!

 

[Disneybaby26]

FirstTime- I know exactly how you feel and I think Mirolee put it perfectly. I'm such an organizer. I have a plan for everything and rarely deviated from it. When things happen that I can't control it definitely throws me. It even took a while after my MC to accept that "that happened". I've felt okay since just knowing I'm doing the best for me, for us, to "try", bc well, that's just all you can do! We're all with ya!

Do any of you ladies know if it's worth me going in for a 7dpo progesterone tomorrow? I have a standing order bc the doc thinks I took the clomid this cycle but I didn't. Obviously we know I Od but can getting the level checked give me any other info? What do you think?

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks ladies! So glad I am not the only one like this. Guess the only thing to "do" is what I have been doing.. trying to lose weight and eat right and start exercising to have the healthiest body for a baby whenever it does finally happen.. Hubby is all about being patient and it will happen so while it makes me crazy because I need it now, it's nice to have him to help keep me sane

 

[morganwhite7]

Morning all- Woke up mega late this morning.. made it to work by 9:15, lol. But needless to say, I had to DISCARD this mornings temps bc I woke up late/jumped outta bed to hurry before remembering! Ugh so not sure if I'm extra hot bc I already O'd or bc this morning's temps are stupid. No fertile signs still.. no ovary action or EWCM which ALWAYS happens.. Hmm so just waiting for something to kick into gear. Dang First Response OPK has been positive for 3 days now, and I mean possssiiiiitive.

 

[mommyxofxone]

good morning ladies, sorry i missed quite a few pages, can someone fill me in? dd had a good bday, she is getting a lot better from her cold, and last night my throat started to hurt. temps are not looking great for after o- just kind of floating over here in i have no clue what's going on land.

 

[HWPG]

kara, i would say you do not need the progesterone bw - only becuase you had such a large thermal shift. if you had a slower or shallower one, i'd say go get it.
afm, i had my scan this morning. 7mm lining and 1 dominant follicle. but i've been fighting back tears because the waiting room was overrun with pregos and toddlers. it's heartbreaking to know you are there becuase you cant get pregnant, while all these women are there to see their babies. f-ing suck hairy balls.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Lol aweee, Mirolee!! I feel for ya, after they told DH and I we had to do a D&C they sat us back in the waiting room while they arranged surgery...crying hysterically with all the preggos looking at me. Needless to say, that's why I found a new OB!

I know dominant follicle is good, how's that for a lining number??
