Crystal!!! wooo hoooo!!!

 

[peacebaby]

Great stuff Crystal Fingers and toes crossed it just keeps getting darker xxx With the prednisolone check with you dr, if the insomnia is bad he may let you have the whole dose in the morning. The leaflet in my pack says to do that if you get insomnia, it makes no difference to the effectiveness. I'm so glad you have your meds on hand,less worry especially now.

LL,wow so they dissect brains to see what makes us tick lol. Thumbsup to her, you must be so proud.

Milty, your son gets all the more adorable to me, would love one like him. Sometimes young teachers are great, fresh new ideas and they relate to kids easier as they understand the generational differences.

Thanks girls as I said it is barely there and questionable but I'll take the clexane for the next few days and see how it goes Peace if it doesn't affect its effectivness then that's it I'm taking all of it in the morning Even when I am sleeping its a very light wake up every 20 mins type of thing and then when 4-5 am comes I am wide awake and I had a cheat yesterday too so don't feel bad about missing a few days working out I had a Jack Daniels Burger and fries There was nothing else on the menu Had a big walk last night so all will be fine but wow that tasted good

Liz- I think its great when girls choose to go on to uni and have a nice career!! I think its important to be happy and independant You must be a very proud mama

 

[LLbean]

I truly am... she turned out really good after all

 

[crystal443]

They always do if they have a great mama Liz

 

[Milty]

Ok Crystal I see something...it may just be an evap but I think you should take the meds...today

If its stronger tomorrow you will wish you had and what have you got to loose

 

[crystal443]

Milty-I agree its just to hard to tell what's there right now, and I took the Clexane so if nothing comes of it that's fine if not I've got all the meds started Thanks for looking

As far as DS teacher and school go i'm kinda iffy on them this year. His teacher last year is this years mentor. So she has been give an "full date on him" and has told me she is nervous to teach him.

OK I will say yes he is smart but it's not like he is going to collage at 12 or anything.

Our advanced classes here are called gifted and you test for them in 2nd grade. Last year he tested with all the other students and I was surprised to find out he did not get in them. So was his teacher and she had him retested. Which I got to observe.

I believe he truely is gifted at math as he has been doing basic algebra for the last year and he is above average at sicience. In everything else to me he just seems like a good A student. Spelling is probably his worst subject but he still gets A's.

Anyway during his retest for the gift program the test was heavily weighted toward english type questions. It was all verbal with 20 questions 6 of which were spelling and 7 of them were definition type questions. He scored a 90%. He had to score a 97% to be in automatically and above a 93% to be considered for an exception.

So now he is in a class where they spend 10 hours a week working on math. Right now it's adding and subtracting review. He is bored to death already. I really forsee problems with this and I'm not sure what to do.

All I know is there is something wrong with their testing if a 8yr old can do algebra but isn't qualified for advanced classes.

Ok rant over..

 

[crystal443]

Milty-my kids had to do testing for the advanced class for year 7-9 but it was based on an overall score so if they do really well in Maths and science it will help make their overall score higher. The other exception they make here is that in that age group some kids just do not test well If they know they're gifted or advanced then they're put in the class. There are 30 spots for kids and everything is taken into account, Milty if your son is able to do algebra at age 8 that's very advanced

My son will be in the advanced class until year 10 and then its different again they can then skip years so for example my dd is in year 10 but she takes more year 11 subjects when she hits year 12 she'll be able to go to uni once a week for classes Your system sounds very frustrating for your son because if he's bored now he's got all year ahead of him. What a shame the school can't see how bright he is and help him discover what he can achieve. Bright kids need to be challenged..they used to try to give my kids "extra" work to keep them busy but that doesn't help because then they're bored the next year

I can imagine how frustrated you must be

 

[Milty]

Well it's really hard because I know he needs advanced math but for example he has to really work for his grade in spelling. By the end of the year last year he was studing spelling words 30min a night to keep his score up.

He is only in 3rd grade so until 7th grade his is either in all advanced or none. Then starting in 7th you can say take advanced math but grade level English and so on. But here is the kicker you can't take any advanced classes in 7th through 9th unless you were in them in earlier grades.

His teacher last year was awesome and found ways to keep him interested. So she tried to pass that info to the new one but I'm just not sure.

When I meet her she told me she was not prepared to have kids who were all at such different levels.
I hope she finds her confidence soon.

 

[crystal443]

Milty-I can see why your a bit nervous about the younger teacher now it makes sense can you buy the lesson books there? We buy all their books here including text books and lesson books so you could go and buy him harder maths books to keep him busy with it. The thing is if they don't keep him challenged he'll lose interest, I hate having to watch over teachers but you do what you gotta do

 

[crystal443]

I'm thinking now that I'm taking the Clexane I might wait and see how my temps go until AF is due and then test again There's nothing else to do until I'm due for AF anyway and that way I can't stress over faint lines

 

[Milty]

I have a feeling you implanted on CD9. So I think it's good that you started your meds and maybe tomorrow or then next day you will have a better line

 

[Milty]

Oh sorry it took me a sec to see what your saying...

I think that sounds like a great plan...or wait till CD 14 then you have given it plenty of time to sink in

 

[crystal443]

Yep what will be will be will be now, I'm not anxious so I'll just watch my temps and relax:thumbup


When are you testing?

 

[Milty]

Oh I don't know usually I just wait for AF but i might test this month.

I really don't know what to think about this month...

Right now FF will not even give me crosshairs unless I put it in research mode. It also gives me a low score

I have to say I really have no idea when I O'd. The only time I had any O cramps was on CD 10 and the temps match that. However that's sooo early as cd13 is my earliest before that. Also the US tech thought it would be cd 13 as well.

What do you think?

 

[crystal443]

If the ultrasound tech was saying aroung cd 13 then I would stick with that Anytime I've had scans to measure follies they've always been right on sometimes being a day or two later then they think even but to O that much earlier then was showing on the scan is strange. I thought follies could only grow at certain rate per day? I just checked Dr.Google and it says follies in a natural cycle can grow 1-3 mm per day, any idea what size it was at your scan?

 

[Bravemom]

Morning everyone ,kids all at school ,o wot to do with myself totally knackered to be honest Af has left the building and I need to start temping again ,I really can't be arsed with dtd or anything ,wot is wrong with me lol ,Happy Monday everyone

 

[sukisam]

Morning all

I hope you are all well. well I'm back at work after 2 amazing weeks off so far so good. Had a very busy weekend it was my Mum and OH's mum's joing 60th birthday party and we had half of Yorkshire staying at our house!! AF arrived 20 mins before the party so CD3 for me. Onto cycle 500 or so it feels- actually I'm still feeling reasonable chilled about it all, AF seems much better on the vitex- I have been able to leave the house and wear tampons which is nice

Can't say much cos I'm at work sending lots of love to Bmom, Crystal, peace, Jen, Milty, ready, HA, BF, Jax and anyone I've forgotten (oops !)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Milty]

Crystal 3 of them were at 19.x or something each being a bit different and one was around 15 I think. I didn't pay much attention to the small one.

Bmom I hope you are not coming down with something

Suki: I'm so glad AF is more under your control

morning everyone
