[LilSluz]

Paws - Welcome to you!!! If you need anything else, please just ask as the girls here are all very, very helpful!

chicken - Oh, working alternative therapies into your job sounds awesome! I wish I could use mine somehow... As far as CD21 tests, having a cycle of CD28 - CD30 is really close, so you should be OK. It is never right-on anyway, but monitor your O as you are via OPK/temp so that between them you can pinpoint it or when it should have been We are always here to help too if/when you need opinions!

Purps - always such a sweetie, I hope you have a great day too. Gotta get over to your journal soon

BF - yes you missed out on some excitement Hope you are doing well, darlin - gotta get over to your journal too!

AFM - Orlando is actually Thursday night although DH came back from Bimini w/vertigo from getting water deep in his inner ear tube. So, keeping everything crossed he can get on rides! If not, what's the point? And too late to cancel & get $ back . Argh. Just waiting for to visit - probs tomorrow. Hell-month has begun at work, so might not be on much? Thinking about maybe taking a break to allow my CoQ10 (taking for 2 mos now), Royal Jelly (1.5 mos), DHEA & Vitex (added 1 week ago) to "sink in" (all take about 4 months). Idk..

But a big to all & have a great day everyone

Oh honey - what a mix bag - firstly huge congratulations!! that is wonderful news!! at first look it seems your hcg more than doubled which Ive heard is good news ! so I wonder now will your RE do another set of bloods?? hope you hear soon xxx

oh and as far as symptoms coming and going - dont worry. I think this is quite common! and doesn't mean a thing. I will keep everything crossed for you that this is your sticky xxxx

We cross-posted - Oh honey! Congrats!!!! Yeah, HCG should be doubling every 48 hrs., so your #'s look fine using that methodology? Europeans don't usually do HCG bloods like we do. I'm a little confused about what you said tho...Are you still bleeding? How much did you bleed? I really hope it was just a short one that can occur in pregs... So we did get an Aug BFP then!!!! Keep us updated!

I did get a August BFP! I'm still spotting -- it's a pink mucus color. I'm wearing a pantyliner. I started on Monday morning and I had SEVERE cramping super early on Monday morning -- it woke me up at 4:30 am! I took 1500mg of Tylenol and it went away, only to come back at 12:00 pm. I'm still cramping off and on with lower back pains. I don't get period cramping much (lucky me!), so I really don't have anything to compare it to. I only bled enough went I wiped, but it's the loss of pregnancy symptoms (it's like night and day) that concern me! I'll definitely keep everyone updated!

[dashka]

Nessaw - have a good day back at school!

Pad and Lady H - how are you doing today?

Lils - oh no I hope DH gets better before your trip to Orlando! that would suck if he can't join you on the rides... I am expecting AF probably Thursday... so we can have some wine together....

Purps and Butterfly - HI !! big hugs your way

AFM - 11DPO today - and did CB digi this AM - GOT BFN !!! I know it was a long shot but didn't really have the normal symptoms this month so thought there may be a chance. Oh well have RE follow up app't finally today at 5:00pm....

Grk and Lady! Wahooo congrats guys! Grk I have been spotting as well for about 3 days now. I am hoping I can get an early scan so I know either way of I will be celebrating or mourning. However, Grk one thing i do know is worrying will not help or change anything. If you are or will be about 5-6 weeks ask for an early scan to put your mind at rest.

Hey ya Butterfly nice to see you!

LadyH - So, so happy for you!!! Congrats!!! Keep those happy, positive thoughts coming, and H&H 9 months!!!

Grkprn - Wow such great news!!! Congrats!!! I understand the mixed emotions but (as lame as this sounds) try not to worry too much... I've heard that so many ladies get that pink discharge right at the beginning! FX for a H&H 9 months!!

AFM - my weekend was really nice - got LOTS of sleep, which I loved!! We didn't end up going to Universal Studios.. it was super hot outside, so that along with the long lines we'd expect over a holiday weekend convinced us to just go another time. We did go down to a museum with a bunch of fossils (the LaBrea Tar Pits museum!)... super cool. We also had hoped to go to another art museum (the Getty), but we got turned away as the parking structure was full!!! So we ended up going to the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. It was still a good weekend, and I loved having a few days off work. I'm supposed to get AF on Sunday and I can't wait for it to get here so I can start a new cycle and actually TTC!!!

I just wanted to come out of the shadows of lurkdom to send huge congrats and hugs and FX'd to Pad, MrsH and greek porn!! (Greek Porn, we don't know each other like I know Pad and Mrs H but I'm one of the old-timers on here, I've just been lurking for a long time now. But I've been lurking all along so I feel like I know you anyway!) Pad, I am thinking the pinkest pink thoughts I can....

 

[LilSluz]

HA - honey! I have to get over to your thread as I have not been in a while. So much going on (& I need to reserve an hour to read your posts )

Mirium - I've been meaning to ask, when is your lap? I was thinking 9/5 or 9/13 - coming up quickly so major FX's it all goes really well!

Dashka - I meant to tell you that I'm so ecstatic that you went tubing & had an awesome time! Laughing is the best medicine ever! I used to go tubing - was sooooo much fun!!! Of course several tubes were dedicated to beer & we'd all just hang on to each other in one really long line of tubes going down the river. Sometimes we'd lose people, but oh well (p.s.- this was up north, NOT in the alligator-infested rivers of FL... although that could have been interesting? ). Hope the soreness goes away soon Will check back about RE appt (so impatient - lol)

I'm partaking in a tonight. Been a little down today. Hope you ladies are having a good night tho...
