I crack myself up sometimes too!!! LOL!
Sometimes I'll say something really stupid to my husband or I'll hear something really stupid and I'll just bust out laughing. My husband just looks at me like "and thats what I married?"....

Cali - It's 6pm here.

Im fighting with my son to eat his dinner. Im trying to bribe him with a choc chip muffin but apparently he's smarter than me. He said "I have to eat all of this and all I get is that little muffin?" and I said "Yes, but it's choc chip". And he said "What if I don't want it?".
That little sh*t!!!!!! LOL!

Thats awesome!! Just turn into a total right there, and maybe he will rush the results!! LOL!




Ok so I found this online... thought I'd post as it applies to a few of our questions from today~

Can I ovulate without detecting the stretchy white cervical fluid?

Ovulation can take place even if you do not notice the “stretchy egg-white” fluid that we assume accompanies ovulation. Every woman can experience her own type of cervical fluid, and not all are the same. Ovulation is assumed to take place on the day a woman has the most amount of wet fluid.

What does it mean if I have the stretchy cervical fluid on more than one day?

Many women can experience ovulation fluid a few days before ovulation actually takes place and can even have it after ovulation has finished. When women are studying their fluid to determine ovulation, they are looking for the 12-24 hour period that they had the greatest amount of wet fluid as the time that an egg is available for fertilization, although intercourse that happens on the few days before this can also result in pregnancy.

Grrr...

Nothing in my sinus cavity which is good in a way but it also means no infection and nothing in my sinuses. So the Dr is thinking I have allergies but they offered no help whatsoever. So basically I have to try an over-the-counter allergy med. I'm going to go see another Dr. I'm in so much pain I can't stand it.

 

[RNmommy]

Kendra - Thats terrible (but good in a way). At least you've ruled out mass or infection as a cause. I can't believe they didn't offer you anything. Honestly, its probably because most OTC allergy meds are as good as rx's nowadays. But they still should have gone over what you could try first. Damn doctors!!!!

How frustrating! Maybe your sinuses are just swollen and some degongestant will help. Mucinex-D is helping with my congestion, and is supposed to be good for CM too.

Lisa - Everytime I look at your little wedding ticker it makes me smile because thats exactly what my cake topper looked like (the double hearts). Awww!!

 

[gueyilla1985]

im having a sore feeling down their and my stuff feel a little swollen WTH!!! if it can go wrong it is!!!

Aww! Mine was very similar, that's why I picked that picture for my ticker. My whole wedding was filled with double hearts!!

So apparently the cure for groggy sick medicine head is a nap and a hot shower. I feel much better although my poor nose is chapped from all the blowing! Gonna try and beat this cold!

Hopefully I won't pass out early so hubby and I can get in tonight on the chance that my high temp this morning was a fluke. I'm trying to be patient until tomorrow so I can see if my temps stay high even though I never got a positive OPK. These tiny little sticks are bound to drive me insane.

 

[KendraNoell]

I think I'm going to switch doctors and I'm going to go to an ear nose and throat specialist if I can find one before my husbands insurance on me runs out (I think end of May). I just wish I didn't have to stress out about how I feel when I'm more concerned with TTC- but I know I have to be healthy in order to be the best mommy I can be to my baby. Ugh. Grr!

 

[RNmommy]

Rae - FX your temps stay high. Could be you just missed your peak with the sticks.

Kendra - I would def recommend an ENT doc. They'd know better than a regular doc. When my son was having all of those ENT issues, we drove him to a pediatric ENT specialist that was over an hour and a half away from where we live. But it was so worth it!!!!! Hopefully you get this fixed soon. Once you get preggers, its gonna be hard for them to run certain tests and put you on certain meds. We need you to be a healthy mommy!!!!


Well, today is 4DPO (i think), CD21. Im getting ready to head to the GYN here shortly. FX!!!!
I havent had any more cramping, just an occasional "feeling" in my uterus...cant figure out how to explain it. Its somewhere between what a cramp and an orgasm feel like. LOL!!! It doesn't hurt, its just there. It's only done it once or twice.
My nipples are still sore and this morning my bbs are sore too, a little. Not sure if this is related to an impending visit from AF in a few days or something else. Im not good at this pregnancy symptom spotting business.
I guess its because my periods have been so irregular for so long and every cycle Ive gotten different symptoms.

Anyways.....Ive got to go get dressed. I really dont expect too much news today. I know hes gonna tell me I have to wait for the blood work. UGH!!!!

Im gonna throw a !!!!! LOL!!

Talk to you ladies later!!!! Have a good day!!!!!

 

[raelynn]

Good luck RNmommy! Hope you get good news.

Well, my temps are still high today but FF still hasn't confirmed ovulation. No idea why. I'm still skeptical since I've been sick so I don't know if that is affecting my temps. It didn't up until now but I guess time will tell. In the meantime, hubby and I are still BDing every other day just in case.

Here is my chart for today: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/33d8da

Hello ladies!

Kendra - Totally understand your frustration. That same thing has happened to me numerous time. I'm feeling bad, go to the doctor and they say just to use an OTC to make the symptoms go away. It's always been a congestion issue with me as well. I get the nose and chest congestion all the time and thought it was a cold before but then realized that it was the allergies that was causing the congestion. I agree about taking Mucinex-D. That always seems to clear me up! And, I do agree with RN about seeing an ENT specialist. They will be able to help you more than a general physician will. Hope you get better soon!

RN - Your symptoms sure are sounding pretty good. Hope your visit goes well today and goes better than you expect.

Rae - You bd'ing every other day sounds like the best idea since you're still trying to figure out what the heck is going on w/ your temps. I understand, my temps aren't making much sense to me either!

My dh and I bd'd last night and I used preseed for the first time. No complaints from either of us, definitely just aided in the moisture area...lol. I did see how the recommended dosage is way too much though and am glad I went with the suggestion of many women in the forum who have tried it and said to use 1/3 of the recommended dosage. So...now it's just a matter of dtd and waiting for my smiley face for the big O day. It's not coming soon enough...so impatient!

 

[RNmommy]

Im back from the docs. Didn't find out anything useful at all! :growl:

He did a culture that he referred to as a "fertility culture" and when I asked the nurse what that meant she had no idea. Nice, huh?

They did draw blood. He told me that if I get my period to call them so I can get my Clomid rx for next cycle and that if i didn't get my period by CD40 to call them and make an appt to come in. So i have no idea what that means. UGH!!!!!

Im still holding out hope that I end up preggers and dint have to worry about it. But ive got this sinking feeling that its not going to happen.

But I did find out one good thing. When I originally went to the doctor on March 1, the blood work showed that my thyroid was sluggish. I was really concerned about this, I didn't want to end up on thyroid meds while TTC.
Well, when they did the repeat bloodwork on March 10th, it showed that my thyroid was fine!!!! Woo-hoo. I must have just had too much sugar or something before I had that first set of blood drawn.

Anyways....

Im just chillin at home now. Did my morning OPK and there's still a decent colored second pink line. No where mear positive but nowhere near looking like an evap. So, im hoping thats a good sign leading up to my BFP hpt.
FX!!!!

Rae - Im really thinking maybe you O'd and FF just didn't catch it. Its possible you didn't catch your peak with the OPKs. Watch, you're still going to be waiting to O when you find out you're preggers!!!! LOL!!! That would be a fantastic surprise!!!!!
