AF is on her way I have the WORST headache ever! I just wanna feel better and I'm sick as crap and working a CRAPPY job for now...just lots going on an I'll write more when I have more time. DH might be going to Afghan again for another 4 months on 4 months off so lots of traumatic shit happening here Love ya girls an miss ya but I'm trying to stay off here much as possible b/c of some depression issues that have been popping up with me

Sorry I didn't make it yesterday to see how everyone was doing..IT WAS ROUGH!
Wednesday night Jason went to feed the heifer and came back to tell me that the brake pad on the suburban was busted--so no vehicle yesterday. He got it fixed and the rotar had to be replaced too.. Then I was supposed to get a ride with my boss who lives just down the street from me, and I didn't hear her phone call, or her knocking on the door. I ate yesterday, and 30 minutes later--puking my guts out and other things coming out the other end--TMI..
Today the boss that was supposed to pick me up--she's sick but can't leave, another co-worker is sick too, and yet another got sent home when she threw up all over herself.. We've got some kids that you can tell just don't feel good, so they are probably getting it too...UGH...Its no fun to be sick..

I hope everyone is having a good friday though! Going to catch up... And then off to FB...I miss not having internet at the house!

Nicole--So glad that your temps confirmed O'..I know it sucks being in a longer 2ww..Been there hun! I'm trying to get my cycles to be back to the 28 days that they were so I took soy when I m/c'ed this time--I think it helped cause I had major O' type pain on CD 12--or it could have been my cyst as wednesday and thursday I had super "wet" cm..Have your tried soy? You can get it at Walmart--40 mg tablets (Soy Isolflavones)--you can't eat extra soy (soy sauce is ok) but don't take anything extra with them like Tofu, etc.. I took it on CD 2 (or day 2 of the bleeding from m/c) up until CD 6. started with 120mg/day 2, 120mg/day 3, 160mg/day 4, 160 mg/5, 200mg/day 6. You can take it CD 1-5, CD 2-6, or CD 3-7. From what I understand--the earlier you take it cycle wise increases the number of good eggs, where as the later you take it gives you a good strong egg. Its similiar to clomid--but natural. You might research it hun. Baby aspirin helps with the lining, B6 helps too. I've tried Omega supplements and didn't like the fish burps I would have after using it.. I've heard something called CoQ10 is supposed to be good to.. But not researched it enough.

Beth--See if you can find Wild Yam Root at a general health food store. Yams are high in natural progesterone, and may help jumpstart your cycle.. You could also try the soy too, but have to have an af first..

Andi--Sorry that AF is going to show her ugly head..I hope she doesn't though!!!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Well I wasn't crampy or anything this afternoon....was standing in my room now on medications for being sick Allegra, Sudafed, and Nasonex had this SHARP pain in my va j j...and went to the potty soon as the pain was done and I stopped screaming....it HURT LIKE HELL never had that before went to pee an whammo AF was pouring in the toilet how lovely...normally I feel shes coming or my temp drops REALLY low etc....NOT this cycle soooo we are done an hopefully get our home study around the end of the month....for the adoption process just a waiting game for everything these days!

 

[waiting2012]

Andi--I'm sorry that damn witch showed her ugly head! Odd that she arrived so full force like that...Its not fun when she just shows up like that...

Its rare I'm on line on the weekend, but opted to come up to the mc'd's to use their wifi, Jason and Wes are sick with the same crap I had...HeeHee...I hope Adrian escapes it but I doubt it seriously...She was still in bed when I came up here... SO I hope this crap leaves our house soon!

I hope everyone has a good weekend if I don't make it back..

Andi--I hope the home study goes as planned, and I'm sure it will! I know you guys will give those little girls a wonderful home!

 

[waiting2012]

Wanted to mention something...I was wondering if any of ya'lls hubby's had odd dreams? I mean, with Adrian--Jason knew I was pregnant before I did, and the other day he mentioned he had a dream about being a little boy's room.. He said the boy was about 3 and had blonde hair..He was sleeping in his bed. Not the kind of dream Jason usually has..Hmm..Wishful thinking I guess.. My dream about our last (I think) had a little boy in it but he had dark hair like Jason... Who knows.. I'm babbling, and probably just my emotions catching up with me again so I'm looking into it to much..

Going to check out my games on FB while I still have battery to do so...Love ya'll!

 

[armymama2012]

I have considered soy but wasnt sure if it'd do more harm than good if i was already ovulating. Well as of November we will be done TTC for a year since I will be moving back to IL while hubby is putting most of our stuff in storage and getting deployed.

 

[waiting2012]

Might be worth the try since there are still a couple of months left.. I have read good things about it, and I didn't notice any harsh side effects from taking it.. I think get side effects bad from the provera, but none from the soy.. Just dont go over 200mg, and I would do a gradual build up of it rather than 5 days of the same dose.. Hopefully you wont need it and youll see your bfp this cycle!

Hi girls...nothing much here. Just waiting, waiting, waitingI did get dotted crosshairs today, but I'm not getting excited over it since I've already had that happen once this cycle.At this point I just want AF and conceiving would just be an added bonus. How awful is that?

Steph, you asked a couple of days ago about hubbies having any odd dreams. My DH didn't have dreams, but it was funny how with my first son he was guessing what the weight would be....the last several months he kept saying he was going to weight 8lb. 10 oz. Well, when he was born they said 8lb. 10.5 oz. We just looked at each other and our mouths dropped open, lol. He was only half an ounce off!I think sometimes our hubbies can have like a sixth sense or something when it comes to conception/pregnancy. Maybe that's part of God's way of helping them share a pregnancy with us or something. I don't know, but it's weird sometimes. Just like when they *know* after BD'ing that it will lead to conception that exact time.

I hope everybody is doing well. Nothing much here....my daughter turns 11 on Sunday. She's supposed to go with her dad to Georgia on Friday/Saturday and then he'll bring her back Sunday and I guess we'll have a little party for her then.

Hugs everyone

 

[armymama2012]

Well due to being in the military I only have one more cycle after this one of TTC. I will be going back to our hometown in October and staying until next October.

 

[waiting2012]

Beth--I hope you have an extra special day with your birthday girl!
That's great about the crosshairs on the ovulation chart! I don't know much about it--but I'm going to say WAHOO!

Nicole--I think you will get a pleasant surprise before October hun!! I can just feel it!!

Hope everyone is doing good today!

You decide...

I see in in grey scale and normal but not in inverted. Might just be too early to tell for sure.....

 

[AndreaFlorida]

...and one more LOL

 

[AndreaFlorida]

The light colored bed is THE BOYS...the darker one is brand new an its the girls I just haven't got their sheets yet since we wanted them to pick them out. The new Serta's we got for the girls bed were "too big" for the bottom bunk so we had thinner Serta mattresses that were the boys...so we took the Spongebob ones the "thinner" ones an put on both bottom bunks that way the baby wouldn't sit up an smack her head on the top bunk lol...so the mattresses don't match but are all brand new really

The boys closet was HORRIBLE so we got rid of a LOT of toys it looks way better now. You can tell in the pic of their bed they also have their own computer an internet in their room which is "blocked for most websites" LOL mom an dad are mean...but its life sometimes we don't want them hitting on something they shouldn't be on!

Also.....THE NEW FISH TANK! We got it last night at PetLand it was 50% off!! WOOT WOOT!! We paid around $500 for the tank an EVERYTHING with it, pump, heater, extra fish, and lighting!

The new tank is 55 gallon the old was only 29 gallons BIG upgrade my moms about to be on her way over to come see everything we have done this weekend...we were BUSY an I didn't have time for online! But...it looks great in here....I'll upload more pics later on of more stuff as we get it set up!

The baby doll on the bed was mine since I was around 7 years old. She STILL TALKS an WORKS lol....
The toybox was Trysten's "toddler" toys an he's outgrown them an so I placed them in the girls room for the 2 and a half year old just in case we get them WHICH I PRAY WE DO....so there is that for now!

 

[waiting2012]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the fish tank Andi!! And those beds...HOW CUTE!!! I can't wait to hear when you get to bring the girls home!!! Its going to be an awesome and amazing day!

Mandy--Yeah, not the best--I was actually shocked to see anything to be honest but with my fertile myrtle eggs--I shouldn't have been completely surprised... But it was pink, not that it shows that great in the pic.. I just let it be as it is for what it is.. I don't have anymore to take and not testing again till this weekend... AF should be due around 8/24-8/27 although I think it'll be a no show.. My coworkers both had fish for lunch--one of them a can of tuna (I love tuna) and it turned my stomach bad... My face is still broke out too--just along my chin--no where else..Like I dipped my chin in oil or something.. Oh well.. I'm not qoing to dwell on it to much here on this thread--I want to see much more deserving s show up..I just didn't want any hurt feelings ect for not saying something..

My boss has this bright idea of getting together from 12:30-1:30 to pull together a curriculum for us to use when Preschool starts--YIPPEE... I hate when she gets these bright ideas... I'm ready for a nap! I dozed off and on yesterday and was in bed at 7:30--asleep for a bit and then awake, then asleep..Oh well...

Going to be here and there and everywhere for a bit... Lots of luv ladies!!

 

[bnporter81]

FXd for you, Steph. It looks positive to me, too Congrats! And yes, my crosshairs would be a good thing usually, but I still don't really think I O'd. I mean I've had the high temps, but my OPK is still kind of dark...kind of like I might O. sometime soon. If I had already, wouldn't the surge be gone and there wouldn't be much of a line?And I never got a positive OPK in the days leading up to the temp.spike. Grrrr, sooo confusing sometimes!

Andi, I love the fish tank and those bunk beds...they are so nice! Any new news on when you might get the girls?

 

[armymama2012]

Well I have now had 7 days in a row of positive Opk. Does anyone know if ruptured cysts can cause false positives on Opks? I am going to test in 6 days. My temp dropped dramatically at 4 DPO and is now steadily staying above the cover line.
