Well AF apparently forgot her purse or something because I had a bleed after BD. I was not at all happy about that since I thought I was done. Grrr :growl mad: Sooooo Spotty is here and I really didn't want the extra company. A 6 day visit plus a preceding day of spotting and now another day of spotting with a bleed is plenty for me after having been spotting and bleeding for almost 3 full months now!! Ladies, be thankful when you have a 3 or 4 day period and go on to having 3 weeks off. I'd just like my 3-4 weeks off and to ovulate in the next week or 2. That's not too much to ask, is it??

Ok that aside, we just got back from our church picnic. It was sooooo HOT, but we had a nice time. DS got to play outside in the sprinkler and on the slip n slide with the other kids, DH chatted indoors with some people, and I chatted outside with some people. Glad to be home in the A/C though. We're about to get some rain, so maybe it will cool off a little. We watched fireworks last night and it cooled down a bit and there was a breeze so it was good weather for it.

She did that on purpose L.E. so she could come back and be nosey! and she left spotty on purpose too, just to annoy you. I know for a fact that he is trained on and off a leash. She left him so that you wouldn't notice very long that she came back for her purse...The nerve. Heck even being thankful for a 7 day period is a good thing.

I am glad you guys had a good 4th my DH got called in to work for several hours. he went in at 11 and got off at 5. So I watched movies at home a little while and chatted with my friend. It was hot outside over here too.

This is DS waiting for fireworks last night. I don't think I've ever posted it, but his name is Malachi. And you know I'm weird about pics and names so I'll probably take this down tomorrow hehe.

Yes you posted one before, and he is still a handsome boy!!! i love his name too!

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Morning Ladies!

Stacey glad you get your temp spike.
Momma glad you got yours too

It looks like the 3 of us all got our temp spike this morning. Must be that darn full moon!

 

[staceyj83]

It has to be the moon maybe its the iner werewolf in us trying to come out

 

[FngrsCrossed]

It has to be the moon maybe its the iner werewolf in us trying to come out

I think it is...lol I was always team Jacob and obviously Alcide is the cutest! So We are werewolf kind of girls.

But I honestly read something about calculating ovulation according to the phases of the moon, by find out what phase it was in when you were born. I read that you are fertile during whatever phase you were born under. I am a full moon girl.

 

[staceyj83]

Not me the full moon was 7 days after i was born but hmmmm im going to have to look that up

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, Yea I knew I posted a pic before, but not his name. I catch myself starting to type his name all the time and have to erase and write DS instead. I just wanted to type his name out on here for once lol. And yes I'm thankful for my 7 day period too. I just hate when you think you're done and you're not. It makes me scared because that's how my bad bleeding worked... I would get 12-24 hrs off and get excited and it would start out of the blue again. Sooo annoying. But I think AF and Spotty are both gone and I hope they stay that way. I had spotting for a couple days after Provera last time, so I can handle that, but if I get another bleed, I'll be very upset. I'm not wondering if my cervix got irritated because it was definitely fresh blood and *TMI* things felt like they were at a different angle during BD... like I changed shape, and I know my cervix got hit... so who knows. Anyway, hopefully that is all over with for a while. I'm sooo hoping to O in the next week.... I know it's not likely, but if you're going to dream, dream big!

Wow looks like everyone is DPO (except me) right now. I hope everyone caught their egg! Maybe I won't be far behind and we can be bump buddies too!!

MzSwizz, looks like AF will be here any minute for you. I bet your goodbye today was hard.

 

[staceyj83]

Ok looked it up i was born on a sunday under a first quarter moon this is what i find crazy dd#1 got pregnant with on a sunday under a full moon give birth to her on a sunday dd#2 got pregnant with her on a sunday under a new moon she was due on a sunday but i had her 6 days early on a monday under a new moon

 

[L.E.]

I'm not big on astrology, but you had me looking up the moon phases, Fngrs!! I'm a full moon girl too!! DH is not, but when I read the Full Moon info, I said to myself that I would not be surprised at all if DS is Full Moon too, and he is! Ha... weird... so is my brother, which doesn't surprise me at all either.

So if the moon phase/fertility thing were correct, I would ovulate in about a month (Aug 2nd), so we'll see. The next day is my anniversary so that would work out great as we're planning on staying overnight at a hotel probably on the 2nd.

 

[L.E.]

Based off my due date and early scan with DS, he wasn't conceived anywhere near a Full Moon, though, so maybe my fertility doesn't match because I'm not regular.

Besides that, I believe that God gave me my DS and the moon had nothing to do with it... but it's interesting to look up anyway and I believe the moon and sun do have major effects on the world, so it would be possible for them to impact more than we already know.

Hey ladies. Nice to see everyone had a good 4th of July.

Fngrs-I got to check out that moon phase/fertility thing. Where can I go to see it?

L.E. yep she came today like a hour ago along with the cramps so i know she is here to stay. And yes today was a hard day, but will get through it. Shed my tears for today so far.

AFM, i am officially cd1 today My temp dropped below coverline to 97.26 today so i knew since this morning, that AF will most likely be here today or tomorrow. Well today was very heartfelt. The family and I got to be with DH as much as possible before he had to leave to go to the airport. I miss him dearly already But atleast I have 18 days before I get to see him again So atleast everything has worked itself out. I got to spend time with dh before he left, i got AF today and now i get to go to boot camp AF made herself known. I was in the store with MIL and nephew and I started getting bad cramps followed by sharp pains in my back and I knew that it was AF on her way. By the time I made it to my mom house to visit before they went out of town and I used the bathroom, she came full on so i made it just in time and didnt mess up my underwear or anything Well, atleast now I know how my chart & temps suppose to look when I ov. And looks like i dont have a progesterone issue at all so thats another good thing. So now Seamen Recruit Clayton is awaiting departure from the airport and im waiting patiently by the phone for his phone call letting me know he made it there safely and then in 18 days im next and I too go from Future Sailor Clayton to Seamen Recruit Clayton! So im excited and nervous at the same time.

L.E. and Stacey- I love the stars and everything in the sky. But I am not big on Sun in Venus and Moon in Sagittarius type stuff. I don't read my daily zodiac horoscope either. lol I believe in God without a doubt. I was kinda' taught not to do all of the Astrology stuff because it is "ungodly" lol But I started thinking how could something so beautiful, that God created be ungodly? I think God did however make all of us so beautiful and unique, and absolutely amazing. So what I am really saying is, if the lunar pull can have an effect of the tide and sea-life, why wouldn't it have an effect on people and our bodies? Right? It's definitely something interesting to look at. I just noticed that around and at the full moon, I feel prettier, sexy, and more outgoing and alluring. And at other times, I turn into "frump-thing".I mean seriously I wore stilettos to to freaking movies for goodness sake?! Who does that?! Most people would go for comfort, but I went for style and sex-appeal! Like Channing Tatum was go to a viewing there too!!lol SO I typed into my bing search engine about fertility and the phases of the moon..and Voila, info!!! lol It's neat that you ladies researched it, and found out some cool facts! I also read that the moon is actually full for only 1 second flat! Anything else is considered waning or waxing, if my memory is correct.

So since I did some fake temps and my thermal shift didn't look like much of a Thermal shift I figured either the gravitational pull, or the lunar phase, has something to do with delaying my shift or delaying ovulation. And since the January loss it's been like that. I ovulated during a full moon in Jan. and got a + hpt lost the baby, and I don't know if my body has been trying to get it together since or what. The second loss must have really thrown me off. I was a little further and it maybe messed up my cycle even worse than the Jan loss..Soooo...here I am.

BTW: The lunar phases and fertility are for regular cycles, and it's said that your fertility begins with the phase of the moon of YOUR birth, not your childs. I used a full moon as an example, because that is the phase it was in when I was born.

L.E. I apologize if I have offended you in any way with the moon phases . I am not suggesting that this is the way that babies are most certainly conceived. I am a firm believer in God, but don't feel I am in any danger of losing his love or going to hell for asking scientific questions or just wondering if the moon phase is my fertility window. I am not asking or suggesting that anyone convert to Scientology or Astrology for any reason. Just thought it was an interesting read, and that every lady on this thread would enjoy reading.

fngrs-thanks

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, Oh I hope I didn't come off like I was offended... I was just saying that my fertility when I conceived DS didn't match up with my lunar phase when I was born. I was born on a full moon (and so was DS), so it didn't match up with mine (or his)... all I was saying was that I know God made me conceive with him, so the fact that it doesn't match up with my moon doesn't bother me. Plus I'm not regular, and if you're regular I could see where your body would be more in tune with that sort of thing. I do believe that God put all these things into place and that they effect more than we know, so them affecting fertility could be a real possibility. At our old church (before we moved) our pastor actually did a whole series on the constellations and how they relate to the Bible. It was very very interesting. I just wish I had taken better notes or remembered more of it!! So I'm totally not offended at all. I don't read horoscopes often, but do look at them every once in a great while out of curiosity. In fact, after all this moon stuff, I looked up to see if mine and DHs zodiac are supposedly a good match. Funny thing is that it says we really aren't and would have to work hard in our relationship. Actually it is the opposite, but I do find some other things sun and moon-wise that are true about us, so I take it as interesting and move on.

 

[L.E.]

And I even made an event on my FF calendar saying that my moon phase was about to be the same as when I conceived DS so it would be worth a shot to make sure we get our BDing in LOL.

Oh another interesting thing I just looked up... When I conceived DS, the day calculated that I conceived was a WAXING MOON 25.14% FULL....
When I conceived my chemical... the day after my positive opks started was WAXING MOON 21.08% FULL, and the next day was 29.41% full....
In Dec. when I ovulated and did not conceive it was a WANING moon at about 29.95% full.

Interesting to say the least....

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Ok...I just wasn't sure if I'd offended you are not. Didn't want to do that. some people are jut firm in their beliefs and I don't like stepping on anyone's toes. I just found it all so interesting to read, and how you can regulate your cycle with using a dim night light.

 

[mzswizz]

So today is a crabby and crampy day. I have been sulking all day and not really getting anything done except put the laundry in the washer, took some things to ups and emptied the garbage cans inside the bathroom and kitchen. Im just patiently waiting by the phone so i can hear DH's voice one last time. Everything i do and think about puts me back in a sad mood because it reminds me of him. Hopefully, this is the withdrawal stage of DH and im going to cope better as time passes on. Well with that being said, my friend was texting me about drama with her newly husband (got married last month). TBH, i really didnt want to talk because im like right now, im thinking about my dh and you want me to sit here depressed and have to sit here and listen to the drama?! not a good combo at the moment. For now, its hard. I didnt even eating anything yet. I need to do better than this.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz... I think it's perfectly reasonable to be crabby and upset today... If you were completely fine, I'd have to wonder if you and your DH got along at all lol. I know that you do, though. I think it's going to be hardest the first couple days and then after another week, you'll be so close to your own trip, you'll just be excited. I'm glad you got to move up your boot camp so your time apart is less. Watch some sappy movies, get a good cry out, and wear yourself out to sleep well tonight. Have some fun with girl friends in the meantime and it will be your turn for boot camp in no time!... Oh and EAT! That in itself can make you crabby!
