Thanks Kenna lol i can't wait to figure out if Marbles is a boy or girl, temperment wise seems like a boy, but the pictures of kitty genitals on google is tough to say lmao. I only have one girl, Kooshka, and she is such a princess...alll of the female cats I have had in the past weren't quite as cuddly..at all..as my boys...so will see! If 'it' IS a girl, I may let her have a litter of kittens...have always wanted to see/be apart of that...plus this is like, the sweetest, cutest kitty ever...more love for everyone...I regret having my Yoda neutered, only because he is SUCH an amazingly perceptive and sweet cat..if i am hurt, crying, anything, he will sit on me and meow and just cuddle until i stop. When I lost the baby, he was beside himself, right there with me.

After I passed the baby, I had her in the refrigerator (i know it sounds crazy, but i couldn't let go, until I found the funeral home to cremate) and I would literally just hold this little medical cup to my belly, wailing, for hours...and he would sit there and lick me, cry with me...he would have had some amazing little kittens.

Ahh. I know i am a crazy cat lady...but...it's ok. I won't hurt myself anymore At least they need me.

Amy I'm so happy for you and ur kitty is just adorable! Cats are highly recommend for depression/comfort/loneliness,etc. I got my mom a cat and it just showed her sooo much love and it truly helped my mom . I'm very happy to see ur thinking alot straighter and are happier. I love how much animals can help! Love u hun!

 

[Megamegan]

Aaaaah Amy that kitten is precious!! Oh man I miss having kitties! My DH is allergic so we have to have only dogs. Well now I want another dog. Lol. They are SO good for anxiety and depression. Yay pets.

I'm surprised that i still have no AF. Usually my LP is 13 days and I do have 2 or maybe 3 charts w a 15 days LP but I know one of them is wrong...i just dono how to go back and override it now and both times I had an LP of 15 days were when I was taking b-6 (one of the cycles w b-6 only took it part if the cycle and not the full but it still worked). I think you are right though and that my LP could be longer again. Without b6 I usually have a 13 day LP but like I said about every pms symptom and everything like that, I really wouldn't doubt if this is still from thr vitex. I seriously have had almost NO pms symptoms and it seems like my progesterone levels may be better due to AF being later but mostly due to the nice temp pattern I have so that'll be good for my future. I def dont think I'm pregnant because I'm late...i just want AF to come so I can test on my bday next cycle! Lol
I was also thinking that I may have oed a day or two later than I had thought because of my thermometer being broken. I may have really oed CD 12-14 rather than CD11. I'm pretty certain that's the case because everytime I have a shorter or longer LP, its because I oed earlier or later. That's why my doc told me not to worry if it LOOKS like I have a short LP sometimes because she said a lot of times that's not the case and slow rises make women think they have an issue at times. I figured I'd share that info incase FF ever tells u that ur LP seems to differ more than normal, USUALLY u most likely really oed a day or so before/after. U may have already known this info about ur LP and charting so I'm sry for all the info if u already knew! Lol well its for everyone to read anyhow so hopefully it'll help someone on here! Lol
I'm excited for u to test w a working test Megan!!! FX!!!!!!

Bummer, temp dropped again Mary- I guess AF should be here soon... well it's also possible she'll be later, you have had a LP of 15 days before...

Haven't scheduled my HSG yet because I have to call on the first day of AF next week. My ultrasound is scheduled for next Thursday morning. I have a good feeling that the ultrasound will be all clear and good. And I have a good feeling that the HSG will help me get pregnant. At this point I almost just can't imagine being pregnant anymore. I know it's only been 8 cycles, but I've been through just about every emotion and now I'm at the point where it seems like such a far off or unlikely thing.

On the plus side I got great news regarding my career... some new performance opportunities... I'm super excited. I live for playing music. So happy when I get a chance to do it even more!

That is great news! What is the opportunity going to be?

I agree as well, Megan - I also feel like going to the doctor, or hospital, it is almost crucial to have someone with you. When I go with my Mom (who is my top choice to go with me, because she is beautiful and professional and is nice but firm, and doesn't let things just slide..people take her seriously) I am always taken more seriously, and get better care...Mike going was good as well...having friends go is last choice but better than being alone...you just kindof need an advocate these days.. and jave to be your


Jess - I followed your blog! And wanted to say - I liked you on YouTube a while back - I got a ridiculous # of subscribers somehow last summer - if you comment on some of popular videos with a link to your channel, my subscribers will be more likely to notice! There is one I have like 100k views on, My smoking story I think - I monetize all of my videos (haven't done much with it in months) but got a check for $120 in October lol...not sure what I am up to now, but they send out the checks once you get to $100, haha

Wellll...I made a quick decision yesterday after work, and I ended up getting a kitten. Drove all the way up to near the airport..they had 2 left, and the one i had my eye on was there...he/she (not sure yet) is 8 weeks, white paws, silver and brown..and just about the sweetest thing ever. He slept under the covers tucked into my neck all night My mom was livid at first, but got over it. Haven't told Mike yet....brought Marbles to work today and he/she has been just the cutest thing ever. My cats aren't too thrilled yet lol. I know was probably not the best choice...but I will post pictures once i can figure out how to again lol. He is long hair too, which i am just a nut for. And such pretty blue green eyes. Ahh. He is sleeping on my lap right now. The good thing about cats is they are so chill...and not much work...I am very happy to have him/her

Love you all!!

Thank you for following! I'm up to like 23 followers on my blog and 7 you tube subscribers! I'm trying to get my channel switched so it says eventual momma instead of Jessica R. I feel kinda guilty about posting a link to my channel on other peoples videos. Is there some sort of etiquette on doing that?

I agree about taking someone with you to the doctor. I don't usually need an advocate, but more someone that pays attention because my mind wanders a lot and I lose focus.

Do cats not have the tell tale weiner or vagina that dogs have?

One more! (today lol)

So cute!

Aaaaah Amy that kitten is precious!! Oh man I miss having kitties! My DH is allergic so we have to have only dogs. Well now I want another dog. Lol. They are SO good for anxiety and depression. Yay pets.

My dh is allergic to cats also, and it am to a lesser extent. We both have dogs, but neither can live with us and we were both told by our moms we couldn't have our dogs back.

AFM: today was horrible. It's like a psycho bomb exploded in the classroom and all 14 kids went bizerk! I had a 3 minute lunch break and am so swollen that my underwear elastic snapped. I took a Percocet at 3 and am waiting to take a tramadol.

Also, I am going to be doing a video called tmi tag. I have seen it around a lot and instead of using a pre made list of questions I want people to ask me things that I will answer on my video. What would you guys like to know about me?

 

[Jennuuh]

Jess - I just followed you as well I couldn't earlier from my phone.

Amy - That kitten is adorable! DH is allergic as well, and we had a cat previously named Godzilla. Loved him. Acted like a dog and it broke my heart when we could no longer keep hubby's allergies under wrap with medication. It just got to be too much for him to handle. I understand needing to get a kitten/puppy to satisfy that nurturing gene! I had 5 dogs at one point because I just couldn't stop needing something to NEED me. Hubby has to keep me in check!

Kenna - You're waiting to O right? I'm sorry for not being up to date with everyone.

Mary - I wish I knew how to read charts and could offer insight, but it sounds like you may have figured it out with the late O.

Megan - Good luck with your new opportunity! I'm sure you'll rock it

Sorry if I missed anyone!

 

[Megamegan]

Hi Jenna!!! Thanks for stopping by Hope everything is peachy with you!

Jess: I followed your blog too Funny, I had been reading it but never actually subscribed until you reminded us. I hope it does really well

So most of you guys probably know I'm a professional musician... well I have my regular job in a military band (a great one) and that's a full time thing but I don't always have a lot of opportunities to play the music I want to play, the music that feeds my soul as a performer. Well, I have been trying for the past year or two to make contacts with local orchestras (even if they are small, on a low budget or completely volunteer), and finally in the past week I've gotten two invitations to play with two different orchestras. One of the concerts is this Saturday and the other one is in June. The music we are playing is very rewarding for a flute player and I just feel happy that I get to perform more. Also, my woodwind quintet has been very active lately and we have a concert Sunday, so I've been getting my fill of "real" challenging classical music instead of the typical Army/patriotic music I have to play in the band (that music serves an important purpose but it gets old to the performer). It will be super fun to play with strings- I was trained as an orchestral musician so it feels like home to go back to that role.

On another confusing note- I am discovering that the more I practice my flute, the more my back and neck hurts. Bad. It has actually prevented me from practicing in the past, and I think it is one of the main reasons I slack on practicing- because it hurts. So today I tried something new- I took a Fioricet before my practice session. These pills might be expired but it doesn't say on the box, but they are at least 1.5 years old. I took one last night for an actual migraine, and realized how much better my back/neck felt. So I think what I am going to do is go to the doctor and explain to them the pain I'm having which is related to playing flute. I know I can stretch (I do), get a massage (expensive), acupressure with the Spoonk (google it, it's awesome) and maybe acupuncture (also expensive), but I am going to see if the Army will pay for some of these things as well as prescribe me the correct pain medication. I hate to say it, but I feel like pain meds might be the best option for allowing me to practice as much as I want to. I am afraid of pain meds, becoming dependent on them, and the side effects like getting drowsy or constipated or hurting my organs. But, maybe if I only take them when I'm in for a 2-3 hour practice session, it won't be a problem. What do you girls think? It worries me. Not to mention the possibility of getting pregnant and whether or not I could take them while pregnant (I know some are safe).

Well, back to my practice. My back isn't 100% pain free but I think the Fioricet did help a lot.

 

[Wishing1010]

Hey Jenna!!! I'm waiting for...well, something to happen! Lol, not sure if anovulatory and AF is coming or if I'm still going to O this month. Only time will tell!

So glad you stopped in, having any fun symptoms?

Megan, I'm sorry you are having so much pain! I can imagine that the lengths of time and angle you must play at, will do a number on your muscles. Take some hot baths and using heating pads when you can.

Jess, I'm sorry today was so bad for you!!! I am hoping your end of the school year will fly by so you can relax (well, until your next surgery!).

Mary, I hope your temp goes back up tomorrow

My sister was induced at 6 am and has FINALLY started pushing! My nephew should be here soon

 

[Wishing1010]

I think Marbles is a super cute name btw, Amy!!!! Can't wait to see if it's a boy or girl! I have one sweet girl cat that loves everyone, and the one that only loves me and attacks everyone else...including DH lol. Our eldest boy is very whatever, he likes to do his own thing. Our baby boy is the most cuddly and amazing cat! He stole my heart from the moment I saw him at the shelter. I picked up his brother, but this kitten kept pawing at me and purring. I had to take him home he has a bad eye but doesn't seem to mind. He's my love along with our dog.

 

[Jrepp]

Megan, whenever I practiced my flute I would also get neck and lung pain. Is your pain kind of through your shoulder blades? If so, it's probably from breatng out. I say do what you need to do to not be in pain. I have taken so many pain pills in my life, and I have never been addicted. In fact, half the time I don't know if they even work lol. Perhaps video tape yourself practicing and see if you are sitting in a funky position.

 

[Megamegan]

Thanks Jessica... I am taking a flute lesson next week and I'm going to ask him if he sees me doing anything that could be causing extra tension. I have seen a few people- acupuncturists and massage therapists- even one Chinese lady randomly in a Macy's stopped me and started pressing on my neck telling me I have blocked pathways because of my tension (that was really interesting, I let her work on my neck because she was so good at it! too far of a drive to go see her regularly though)....they all tell me it's muscular. My lungs are pretty darn tough because I play for several hours every day. I think it's more about tensing up while I'm focusing on the music... I don't realize I'm tensing up until it starts to hurt, and by then it's too late. It also happens when I'm doing marching band, even when I'm just walking. That is weird. But, the thing about the Army is they want to fix you because they don't want you to get disability when you leave. So they will help me. I'll make an appointment fairly soon. I don't think I would actually get dependent on pain meds because they make me a little nauseated and I don't like that feeling, but maybe if I find the right one and it doesn't make me feel sick, it could make a huge difference in my life. If I could practice an hour more each day, I could do so much more- such as competitions and more success with gigs.

Anyway thank you and I appreciate your reply!

Still no AF still. I must be a day or so off on my O day. Still going to use a digital tomo a.m tho. Ill keep u all posted

 

[SweetMelodies]

SweetMelodies, how are you doing?!

Feeling better today, I'm not a fan of being sick. Also only being able to take Tylenol for my sinuses was sucky. I was off work for 2 days because I had no energy, a constantly runny nose and I kept sneezing. I was feeling better so I went back today. I ended up having a coughing fit and losing my lunch. Funtimes.. but at least I don't feel as sick as a did the last two days so that's nice.

As for being pregnant, not really noticing too much today. I was suppose to start my period today so I thought I might see some light spotting but there has been nothing, just light cramping off and on.

Only me and DH know atm, I'm going to the Doctor in the morning. My mom is currently out of town until next week, and DH's parents are away until next month! So we decided we will tell my parents when my mom returns and wait and tell his when they come home. Not really something I want to tell them in an email lol. Then 12 weeks for everyone else. Keep this bean sticky!

Man I knew first trimester would be stressful but I'm already going a bit crazy double checking everything, making sure I'm eating ok ect I guess the fact that I don't really feel pregnant is not helping the situation. Well my legs are still achy my temp is still high and my boobs are covered in veins! lol tmi ;p I actually taken a pregnancy test everyday so far just so I can see the line get darker.

I know I need to relax. sigh!

 

[Megamegan]

Aww I'm so happy for you, sweetmelodies I hope you feel better soon. I think probably after seeing the doctor and giving yourself time to get used to the idea, you'll start to relax a bit. I think it's just an adjustment at first

AFM: This short story might be emotional for those who are pregnant so I am hiding it in a spoiler- but nothing you haven't heard before- just wanted to share how awesome my friend is!

Spoiler

So I was chatting with my gay friend online tonight. He sent me a photo of a mom, her daughter, and her grand baby, and they were all holding each other. Then he said "Make me some babies! I need a new niece or nephew!" And I instantly got sad, and I told him I'm working on it (he knew I was trying since I got married). Then he told me how his parents tried for 12 years to have him. And, they got pregnant before him, but lost the baby 2 weeks before the due date due to a ruptured amniotic sac. (That's the part I felt may upset some people.) I couldn't believe it... it's just amazing how everyone has a story. This guy is an incredible person, just brilliant and has a million fans. His parents must be so proud and grateful for him. After hearing his story, I realized whether he meant to or not, he showed me some perspective... he also kept saying how I could adopt... I'm sure if he wants kids he has thought about that, but probably doesn't understand the maternal instinct to be pregnant, but anyway- then he said he would donate his sperm to me. Lol!! I know he was just being silly but it was pretty darn funny. I told him- I'll let ya know in about two weeks whether or not we need help in the sperm department This kid is just my favorite. He's such a great friend. And we are both flute players and play together often so I feel lucky to get to see him and be around his jovial awesomeness.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing everyone's temps tomorrow! And tests hopefully Goodnight

 

[lotus21]

Hey everyone. It's megamegan. I created a new account, because I've asked the admins to change my username ever since I first created my account and they never responded, and I searched the terms of use and never found anything saying I couldn't create a new account. So, I'm now lotus21. I didn't want my first name to be in my username... I think it was past midnight when I made the account last time and I wasn't thinking straight, lol.

I know it's not like I'm 100% anonymous as I'm telling you who I am and this forum is public, but, you guys are my friends so obviously I'm gonna tell you lol. I'm just probably going to start my journal over and change my photo and stuff. Why not have a fresh start. My username was driving me nuts every time I looked at it. I hope you guys don't mind, I know I'm silly. You can still call me Megan obviously By the way, I'm all about the lotus flower. Those things are baller.

Approaching the midnight hour. I'm like, one of those people that needs a code on their phone where it makes you do math problems before you send a text after midnight. Cuz I end up doing crazy stuff like changing my username on my pregnancy forum. I live dangerously.

 

[mdscpa]

Hello, megamegan/lotus21... nice temps you got there i hope it continues to rise and stay that way.....

Better if you could put your chart link on your sig so we can stalk for it everyday, if you don't mind.

My symptoms yesterday and today were worst feels like im about to get my AF but im already on my 5th day. i haven't tested yet and im not planning to just yet til i see my doc tom.

 

[mdscpa]

Can't wait to see your test mary.... FX'd this is your miracle cycle.....

 

[Jrepp]

No probs Megan. It might take some getting used to, but it'll be fine.

So I just stood up and hubby was like what the bleep! I asked him what and he said look down. My stomach has been killing me since about 11am when the kids went psycho at work. I took a picture. It looks like I'm quite a few month pregnant, but it's all swelling I'm gonna look silly pregnant if my belly pouches this way, but I can't believe how much it swelled.

 

[Wishing1010]

OMG Jess, that looks crazy!!!! I don't even know what could stop that! I'm sorry, you definitely had too much excitement yesterday. I wish you could stay off longer
