A friend of mine has been 6 months smoke free on ecigs. Good luck.

Those boxes are amazing Star!

I've had a migraine since yesterday. The pain hasn't been too bad it's all the other symptoms. I know it's the weather, we have had rain today.

I'm also in a trivia league so we're question setting this season so there's lots of research and work to be done to make it all go smoothly each week, so if I disappear again... it's into the ether that is google & wikipedia!

Feeling rather tired lately. No desires which is quite odd for me, usually by CD2-3 I'm already to tie DH down for a week to have my way but not this month. I think the stress of my sister and colleague is getting the better of me. I found out that another 2 coworkers are getting unhinged by her so we'll have a talk with our manager as to how best to approach her. She's just not professional at all in how she talks to us, very patronizing. I figured I was the only one to notice, but thankfully I'm not so I have backup. Also, she'll ask for feedback and then be argumentative about anything you tell her. /mini-rant

Rant away love. Sounds all too familiar to me. 2 more pregnancy announcements this week, 1 colleague and 1 college friend. Still not smoking and GL with yours Nic. U r doin really well. Im feeling a little more hopeful this month as I have been having cramps but they are railing off now, my face has broken out and I never get spots and bbs are fuller and tender. Hope this is my month!! Anyone else having good signs?

Eurgh i'm a bit sick, wierd sore throat type thing and just feel sick.

Been biting on a piece of ginger. That's been helping. Luckily we bought a crap load we dont know what to do with xD

 

[cntrygrl]

Took a test this morning BFN. Just awaiting AF to show her face so I can get this last test over with and start the clomid. She needs to hurry herself up. Damn her and her irregularity.

 

[nic18]

tsy, sorry you have a migraine hun & rant away hun ! we are all hear to listen .

beads, i was bad yesterday ! when i have one thats me just cave ! but never had one until about 5.30pm. so today i'm going to push it abit further and the day after abit further see if it can work that way. but well done you & keep at it!

star, i'm feeling the weird throat thingy too!! its not a sore throat but its just horrible. & my nose is blocked. feel better soon hun

cntrygrl, sorry you got a BFN hun

 

[starrilicious]

Hmmm anyone who uses opk's is it usual to have them come up blank aside from the control all the time?

 

[nic18]

star, do you mean is it normal for only 1 line to come up?

 

[cntrygrl]

Star if you aren't producing LH it is very normal. Especially since your cycles aren't regular. If you are ovulating or at least producing LH you would see some form of line on the other side. I'd say try a different brand though just to be sure. When are you testing and are you holding pee long enough?

 

[nic18]

ARGH. in such a shit mood. OHs been in a crappy mood all day been taking it out on me and now i'm in a shit mood. he's also working late tonight which has pissed me off as i've been asking him to do something & it always gets pushed to the weekend, where he then says he is to tired because he has been workin until like 4am that morning.. you need to balance out your work & home.. you work for yourself so its not like you need to work 8am-10pm weekdays and then 9pm-4am weekends while sometimes working weekend days to i know you work hard for your money.. sometimes i just feel like i get forgotten about! & when i try speaking to you about it, you try turn it into a argument or just tell me to sh! ARGHHHH! sorry ladies. needed to get that out!

 

[beads]

Chin up Nic. Kick him in his sleep. I do and I feel loads better! I keep getting the wierd throat thing too!!

 

[yoshy]

Wow, I missed a lot of posts the past couple of days. Star, those boxes look amazing! What/who do you make them for? (I think I missed that part).

Tsy, it's good that you have backup when going to your boss about your coworker. It's tough having trouble with coworkers, especially when you think you're the only one, but once there's more than just you, it makes things a lot easier to deal with.

Cntrygrl, sorry about the BFN... how late is AF?

Beads and Nic, good luck with the stopping smoking! Keep at it!!

 

[starrilicious]

Lol Beads, sometimes you have to!

I'm properly sick now, sneezing, coughing wheezing, lovely!

Curling up on the sofa today.

yoshy - those were my trial boxes, making them for family for christmas. Might put in my etsy shop too, not put anything in there a while...

 

[cntrygrl]

Nic-- Sorry OH is being a butthead.
Beads-- WTG with the quitting smoking!
Tsy-- That is one part I enjoy about working by myself. No one eleses attitude.
Yoshy-- Today makes day 2 of being late. I'm not going to test again til it's a week late if it makes it that far. I'm anxious to book my HSG and this long cycle is frustrating.
Star-- Lots of rest and fluids. Hope you start feeling better soon.

 

[tsyhanochka]

Cnteygrl that has got to be frustrating. Hope things resolve quickly. Either bfp or AF to get things moving. Question. If you are ovulating as your chart suggests... what's the point of clomid?

Nic...men are jerks at the worst times!

Star rest easy!

Hey Yoshy!

Going to my Dr today I'm nervous. Got the dentist today too. Hoping to change my social insurance number over to my married name and passport as well. Busy day "off".

 

[starrilicious]

Good luck Tsy!

Havent changed my passport myself, they dont give you the extra time left on your passport so waiting till it runs out! Still got 2 years...

Thanks guys, having plenty of tea and juice. hubs bought me lots of cake to keep my spirits up, i'm set!

 

[cntrygrl]

Tsy-- I'm not sure what the point of clomid is either. I don't know if it's to give us a boost. I'm going to talk to the dr. about it more.

So I've been having this uncontrollable bitterness towards pregnant women. Has anyone else had that feeling before?

 

[beads]

Omg crappest day at wrk EVER! But its over now. Im about 10dpo today and other than the odd tummy twinge everything has stopped so I think thats me out. Dont know why but thats my gut feeling

 

[starrilicious]

cntry - completely normal. I feel like that often. Sometimes on the train I won't even give up my seat, bad I know but i'm trying to be better about it...

Beads - It's not over till the fat lady sings!

 

[tsyhanochka]

Hey Ladies.

Thanks for the support. Well my new Dr. is so nice, and very proactive and positive!!

She is sending me for an ultrasound which I have booked for tomorrow on my lunch break, and then she wants bloodwork from me on CD21 for my progesterone, LH and FSH levels.

After I get those done I'm to go back and see her. She's questioning if I have Endometriosis (and respected that I've looked up symptoms and was thinking the same) with my painful periods, but doesn't want to rule on anything until we get tests back and then she'll make a referral to a gyno or other specialists as necessary as she said she's not comfortable treating those things on her own. Which is awesome, cause I wouldn't want her doing that either.

She's understanding that I don't want to go to specialists unless it's covered under our provincial healthcare. So we'll go as far as we can to find out what our issues (if any) may be and then I'll know where I stand. She said Endometriosis likely won't come up on an ultrasound... but the US will rule out anything else. And we'll go from there.

I feel really good about this, she seemed curious like me to find out how I'm on cycle 12 and nothing, given that I seem to ovulate (according to my temps) and my temps stay up after ovulation for a good while (likely not progesterone issue), and that we're timing sex as best we can... and on the dot the past few months.

So I feel much better to get that ball rolling. She's also happy that DH goes to a doctor in her clinic so that will make his tests easy to confer/refer to.

So yay for that!

booo that I didn't get all my errands done because I forgot that I need my photo signed by my guarantor before I can get my passport in my married name.

But I had a great day otherwise.... cultural insensitivity moment aside from a Service Canada staff when they made a comment about my new married name not being as 'nice and easy to pronounce' as my former name. BAH!!!

ah well. off to a girly date with a good friend who is new to the TTC world.... she's likely to tell me they got knocked up easily...and on the 2nd try or something stupid....What was that about being bitter... oh you're preaching on the choir on that one!
