Yay! I am keeping everything crossed that a fetal pole appears! I don't think its terrible to google as long as you know that its just one possibility & you put that info in your back pocket "just in case". I struggle a little with whether to mention a possibility to a person or not. But in cases where it sounds like it "could be" a potential ectopic preg, the risk of not mentioning it or having it checked out could result in a burst tube or death to both mother & fetus & that would be 100,000x worse than mentioning it "just as a possibility". It happened to a girl on another thread where I mentioned it & thankfully while she ended up in ER, she kept her tube & her life... Will defo keep you in my thoughts & prayers & very relieved its in your ute

BF - Nice going - how are you finding the yoga then? Hope you are starting off just a couple days a week & then going from there as it tends ot work muscles you never knew you had!

Owl - Yeah, DH has no insurance since he's working in a start-up situation, but I can change insurances at work, so I'm going to have to look into that "just in case". They may not even offer any that cover it... Glad you are feeling better & let us know how the betas went? FX...

Twinks - thanks for popping in from the Kingdom of Lurk! Big back at you - hope you are fairing well! I haven't been able to keep up with much so my journals are all suffering at the mo - please forgive!

Purps - its finally Friday

TGIF ladies & big , major & to all! Our new Pledge of Allegiance...

AFM - had acupuncture last night and got emotional (as soon as she stuck a needle in my 'heart' point (on the wrist).... the tears were streaming down I couldn't stop it... ... it was the strangest thing.... I told ND and so she put 2 more needles into my feet/legs that helped to reassure me (when you are extra sensitive/emotional)..... Gotta love acupuncture.

Hi ladies!
I'd love to join this forum.
I'm 36 TTC #1 naturally. DH is 43. I have been not trying/not preventing for the past 3 years. But decided in August that I would actively start trying so have been doing TCM and charting.

 

[LilSluz]

Hi Firebaby - welcome to you!!! TCM - Traditional Chinese Med? (or Turner Classic Movies, because I like those too ). Hopefully you will get your BFP soon

Dashka - aw, honey Crying is a good thing - you have to let that stuff out. If you suppress it like most of us do, you'll end up carrying all that around - and it spoils as time goes by. I treat it like poison & try to get it out. Matter of fact, if I am even borderline emotional one day, I put on sad songs deliberately & cry like a baby until its all out. Works for me anyway . Glad you are getting it out whatever it takes . Gosh what's up with our jobs, actually demanding work from us!?

Nessaw - now there's a girl who knows how to Pledge! (not necessarily in that order!) How dare they not put internet in your classroom!? Don't they know how important Facebook is?! And BNB? Ugh, you should file a complaint...

LadyH & Purps - you virtual lushes, you! But oh no, you picked me on a bad weekend when I'm sick, or you know I'd drink everyone's for them because I'm just so polite like that . Gosh, I guess that means we gotta cover Pad from now on, too?! And GreekPorn? I guess we're going to have to start a TTC#1, >35, AA, Need-a-Liver-Donor thread soon!

BF? Dwrgi? DrH, Nessaw, Mirium or Chicken you guys have to cover me too this week! Dashka, you can cover the dark chocolate covered almonds. After all, its the polite thing to do... and we are very proper ladies...

Have a great weekend y'all!

 

[Maddy40]

hi Firebaby, I'm relatively new here too - everyone has been so welcoming!

Grkprn oh my gosh, I'll be thinking of you this weekend. FX and I'll try to cross some other body parts too..

 

[drhouse]

Hiya lovelies

I hope the lushes had fun we had romantic date night last night. Two glasses of French vino. Lovely share plates. Good fun.

Lou gkprn lady great reason to stop drinking!! Gk porn I hope the pole has developed. Otherwise this might be a blighted ovum. The pseudosac of ectopic wouldnt be misshapen. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that.

Dash am going to try accupuncture - I'm sure the release will make you more relaxed and fertile!! Am crossing fingers for u.

Lils Youre awesome. Baby dust.

Maddy 40 your chart is awesome.

Welcome fire.

Ive got the flu. Is that why my chart sucks? I feel febrile? No lh surge on opk yet

 

[purplelou]

Hi fire baby and welcome!

DrH being unwell can affect your chart, but it doesnt look like your chart is showing fever sohopefully it won't affect it from detecting ovulation! Get well soon xx

and loves to everyone xxxxx

 

[pbl_ge]

Thanks for the warm welcome, All! I have to say this thread is impressively overwhelming. It's hard to keep up and get a handle on who's who and what's going on?!

And am I right in thinking y'all are pledging allegiance to wine?
So confused, but it sounds like my kinda group!!!!

Drhouse, that's quite a chart you have there--up, up, and away! Hope you feel better soon.

Grkprn (Greek porn?!) - Hope all is well.

I can't keep up with everyone yet, but I am sending well-wishes and as appropriate.

AFM, I'm still waiting for the supercharged post-MC AF to stop. In the meantime, OH and I sneaked away for a long weekend on Cape Cod with his family. Beaches, hot tubs, wine, and a wee bit of BnB for emotional recuperation.

to all!!!

 

[LilSluz]

DrH - thanks for drinking a couple for us! Bet you didn't realize you were drinking for all of us did you? Although that would have taken a few bottles, but we'll take what we can get...

Oh no - so sorry you are sick ! I had to look up what febrile meant. In your chart entry module, go to Specific & check off "Fever" & "Illness" on whatever days the fever started & you will probs get dotted lines & FF won't count those days in its super-secret Master calculations . Did your temps climb throughout the day today (yest?)? Because 98.3F is below 98.6F which is normal but I am guessing it only started out that way today/yest? (Idk the time diff - today is probs tomorrow for you? it confuses me, sorry! ).

Ok - I found where you can change chart from F to C if it bothers you - go to Chart Settings & then Chart Settings (again) & you'll see its like the 3rd one down.

 

[drhouse]

Hi Lils and other lovelies

the trouble is the USA thermometer is in F. I just don't know anything about farenheit!!! Ive used two boxes of tissues. Singlehandledly. Or should that be singlenosedly. Gross. DH brought it home. Just had a stinky week at work. No wonder Im exhausted.

PBL ge good to hear that you and DH are having some you time. Its important. we just played mini golf with our nephew and now are curled up on the couch.. awwhh.....

am going to go for a run tomorrow if I am up for it.

 

[Lady H]

Hi lovelies. Sorry some of you are feeling poop, but thanks for taking on my wine last night!

Spoiler

Went and got a new Bra today as BB's sore, went from a 32E to a 34 FF! Omg!!

 

[LilSluz]

Purps & Pbl_ge, we all cross-posted!

Purps - hope you are having a fab Saturday

GreekPorn I was wondering when a newbie would come by & say wow, she really is into the part of TTC! As you can see, it worked! Na, we gave her that nickname bc it was supposed to be GreekPrincess, but we all seemed to see GreekPorn (hmmm, don't know why?) Some of us have been at this waaayyyy toooo looonnnggg lol

Actually I was wondering if I could call you pb&j bc your name is hard to remember. I can remember peanut butter & jelly pretty easy tho (this is how the nicknames get started...)

Yeah, we are now Pledging our Allegiance to , , & chocolate... and but only when we REALLY have to...

Don't worry about keeping up, its all overwhelming at first, so just do the best you can. Cape Cod sounds like an awesome time! Sorry super-charged is messing w/you - so you had mc & then this AF is first after? So then this cycle you can start TTC again? Hope so - have fun & drink some of that for us will ya?

Ugh ladies, if seeing babies everywhere in real-life isn't bad enough they invaded my dreams last night - there were like 20 of them! Dreamed I went to my friend's house (who is posting her baby pics all over FB) & it was ALL new mommies - ALL with babies ranging from 6months to 2 yrs... Its a shame bc I really love, love, love lil babies to the point where I'll meet someone for the first time, not even get their name & want to hold the baby. I steal my friend's baby every Fri night - I hold him thru the whole dinner (they love it - its a symbiotic relationship ). My heart just yearns...

Oh well, one of these days - have a great weekend ladies! I am going to this cold off... & self-medicate...

 

[Butterfly67]

It's OK ladies, no need to panic, I will take up the slack for any that needs drinking

pbl_ge_abc_xyz - yes your name is too difficult to remember so peanut butter you are Glad you had a relaxing weekend

I went swimming last week and in the showers there were these really cute little seats that you strap your kid into while you shower and there was a total cutie little boy in one...

ETA sorry I meant to welcome fire baby

 

[Mirium]

Hey ladies,

to everyone. Charting felt a bit like a chore to me the 2 months that I tried it but I am considering trying it when I start TTC again. Is Fertility Friend expensive . How does it work? Just any info is appreciated. Happy weekend ladies!

 

[padbrat]

Bonjour ladies...

Did send a message this morning, but I guess it didn't post...

So you all are sicky bods then... is this a computer virus then hahahaahhaahaha... gawd I am sooo funny!!

Sorry, I really hope you all feel better soon!

Welcome Pbl... and Fire. We are a crazy bunch, but really this is the best thread ever! Hence why we all still stick around lol

Lils my crazy chick you and Drh's chart look mental! It sounds like we all had a pounding at work!

LadyH feeling ya... pain.. lol x

Heyya Purps... when you going on leave to nest and put your feet up?

Butterfly how noble of you to take up the slack on the boozing front... make mine a nice malbec please xxx

Grk... I am hoping for the best... but fearing for the worst... xx

 

[purplelou]

Pbl...welcome chick! this is the bestest thread on the forum!

Pad I have 3 weeks left at work.

Miriam..I think you. Can have a free trial at ff, then you can choose to have the 'bells and whistles" version for a fee...or have a more basic verse for free...I think the basic version is ok absolutely fine though. You can chart all kinds of stuff...including cm and of course temps, and then any signs of symptoms you like. I stuck to temps and cm when I was charting and found that enough for me
