Kindra - so sorry to hear the
came to visit again. Fingers crossed for next month for you!
Cliqmo - The morning sickness is worth it right?
Hope to join you soon and congrats again!
SLC - Sorry you used all your tests. I would definitely invest in some ICs if you're going to keep testing so early. Those ClearBlues and other name brand test are SO expensive! Another reason to temp instead of testing!
Although I haven't decided if that makes me hope more or less. I know the two months where I had a beautiful dip/rise followed by a triphasic month I was positive
certain I would get a
and then was devastated when the temp dropped and the
came instead. That's rough for sure.
TaurusMom - Love your son's 'do!
AFM - I'm thoroughly confused. I got my first positive OPK on CD16 and have gotten positives every single day since. I'm now CD20. My temp still hasn't dropped so this is officially the longest surge I've ever had. Last month was three days. Today is the fourth day. Fingers crossed my temp dips tomorrow so I can be in the 2ww!
Also - as much as I love it here, I think I'll be a bit more scarce around here for a while as I think I've decided to take a break. Last cycle was awful not ttc but was so much more peaceful not counting days. I had hoped to keep it that way but I'm already stressing and getting frustrated. I know I'm "only 27" but I feel like I want kids NOW or not at all. I don't want to be an "old" mom and not getting that elusive bfp kills me a little more each month. I told DH today and he's not at all amused but part of it is his lack of enthusiasm for trying too that makes me wonder if he really wants it and is actually ready for how much it would change our lives. So I'm thinking it will be best to lay low for a while, NTNP but more on the NT side by not
around ovulation, not counting days, etc. So anyway, even if I'm not here - I'll still be thinking of all of you!
for them! He likes anything bug too... yuck. lol. But his speech is getting better, but he's still talks someone baby gibberish. His ears were horribly infected (his ear drums were) his first two years of life which made him learning how to speak hard, as he learned what he heard...thus making a lot of "baby babble". However, with work with a speech therapist (which has ended! yay! 
) because of his progression AND his ears are now great...he is learning very quickly and now talks in complete sentences most of the time
The picture below is him 
so 
Since you haven't temped the cycle in full, you probably won't see an ovulation pattern but doesn't hurt to start. I took two months off from temping and then decided to again about a week ago so the first part of my cycle has no temps. Since I know I didn't miss ovulation though, it's all good. 
but I just really couldn't help it. The whole time the test was "thinking" before the result came up (it was a clearblue digital test) my heart was racing & I was praying for a "pregnant" to show up 
. When it came "not pregnant" I shoved it in the waste basket in the bathroom. 
LOL . I'm not heartbroken yet, since I am only 9 dpo but I did have my FX for those three minutes . Oh well... but, now I'm all out of pregnancy tests. 
. Oh well onto next month!
