Oh how fun Jess! I put up ours yesterday and today. Now our house looks like Disneyland and Christmas time exploded
Here is the video of my mom reacting to the news, I think this is the third time I asked her to re-read the letter.

[MrsStutler]

Sheesh Jess you look fabulous!

So I haven't had a whole heck of a lot in the way of symptoms (yay!) but holy cow are my emotions heightened. I start crying at the dumbest things! I was reading the paper today and started bawling over this 15 year old kid who was the first graduate of our city drug rehab program. No idea who the kid was but I was so emotional over his achievement. Then I cried over Sesame Street. Really. It's getting a little ridiculous. Lol

 

[Jess19]

Thanks

I know what you mean, I hold back tears all the time! Lol
I try to stay tough for the most part but sometimes the emotions win.
Lately iv been sorta bitchy (I apologized to DH the other day) I think it's because I'm not comfortable doing anything anymore, especially sleeping! but I guess I better get used to not getting much sleep

So what is your estimated due date Kayla?

 

[mammag]

Jess you look f'ing amazing!!! Wish I was that pretty pregnant!!!

Do you guys have any experience with the walmart 88cent OPK's? I'm avoiding this month, and didn't think I was anywhere near O yet, but took two of them today, and they both look like this? I'm only CD 14, been O'ing around CD 18 or 19. I didn't think I was close so we have definitely been BD'ing? Now I don't know what to think.

 

[Jess19]

I don't have experience with those but i do have some experience with opks and that looks positive!
Before all the clomid cycles and what not weren't your cycles like 28 days???
Maybe your going to have a shorter cycle, that would explain a cd 14 positive opk.
Do you have any signs and symptoms for ovulation to accompany that positive opk??

 

[mammag]

I'm not sure? We've BD'd, so I'm not sure about EWCM. No sore boobs or O pains or anything though. And I looked back all the way to Feb of '11, and no, I never O before CD 18, and usually later. I think I need a different brand. I don't want to avoid sex for a week because my OPK's are too sensitive, lol.

 

[MrsStutler]

I'd call that a definite positive, but maybe try another brand and see how the results compare?

Jess- my "unofficial" due date is July 29th which I think is pretty funny considering my due date with Roxas was Feb. 29th! I'll know for sure next week on the 5th!

 

[honeysuede]

That looks positive to me Grace
Wow Jess - you look AMAZING!
T - What a beautiful ring - I am so happy for you
Kayla - Love the video!! And I remember being emotional on & off like that
Big hugs to everyone xxxxxx

Hi ladies hope your all well I'm hoping by this time next week I will be able to call and request treatment again so hopfully start injections before Christmas


Grace what about BCP? Or making DH wear a condom?

 

[Jess19]

Grace any up date on the opks today??


Last night DH and I started child birth classes it was fun!
We were the only couple there that weren't 1st time parents .
I wanted to do the classes for the main focus on labor. I'm going to try really really hard for a VBAC and I want to know what to expect.
I know iv already been through labor once but it wasn't full labor. I have up easily and went with the c section. Plus it's been 7 years since I've been prego and 10 since DH went through all this, so I figured we could both benefit from a refresher class plus we get a free car seat when we complete the class!!! It's 4 weeks long, yesterday and the next 3 Mondays.
After Christmas I'm going to start washing baby cloths and blankets and packing diaper bags and hospital bags.
Does anyone think that's cutting it too close???
I keep thinking.... What if something happens and I'm not prepared at all!

Grace what about BCP? Or making DH wear a condom?

I'm not interested in BCP. I'm trying to lose weight and get into shape, and it really messes with your hormones and makes weight loss very difficult. I've actually talked to DH. We're thinking about a vasectomy. I mean, at this rate though, it seems like I could have sex daily till I died and not ever get a baby out of the deal. So I don't know what we're going to do right now. Condoms are not really something I'm interested in, too many years without them to turn back now!! That's why I'm trying the NFP.

 

[Jess19]

I feel silly asking, but what is NFP ??

 

[mammag]

Natural Family Planning. It's popular with catholics, penacostals and in general religions that are against any form of birth control. It's not very effective though. At least not with normal people. But I figure if I can't get pregnant BD'ing every day in my fertile time, that avoiding it completely should work pretty well.

 

[Jess19]

Oh, I see.
Have you done the dance lately? Since before or after the opk??
Looks like this cycle is going go be a "maybe I should POAS" cycle
