Hi Amy! Hope you feel better!
Laura fxd for tom! Hoping for some good news!
Bethany taco cassorole yum. Do you make homemade rice pudding???
Horseypants and cheryl how are you?

Glad everyone seemed to have a good weekend!

 

[Storked]

It was homemade! My first time making it and eating it hehe. I wanted it because the picture in my cookbook reminded me of a Thai dessert. Mmmmm.

 

[jen435]

You just inspired me to make it.

 

[Storked]

Woot woot!
Luckily my husband hurried home because otherwise I might have seriously eaten all of the chicken stew I made. I love stew

 

[horseypants]

anything meat sounds great to me, especially chicken stew. mmmm. DF and i are giving up meat for the month of august. it's the result of a deal where i got him to go to ikea with me one weekend.

i'm on cd14 and waiting to o. i think it will happen before or on cd20, so by the weekend, i'll be in the 2ww. i really want to b prego and have a good feeling about this cycle or next. of course, i prefer this one. looking back, i wish i had tried harder before first af after d&c. oh well

 

[mommylov]

Bethany, you really do make everything sound so yummy! Now Im going to have to make stew this weekend! I made lemon pepper chicken with pesto garlic veggies tonight. Hubby was nice and full before he went to play bball... dont know if thats a good thing before you play but I did my job and fed him! lol

Putting out sticky baby dust vibes for you horseypants!!! We need more BFP's in here!!!

Hiya Jen!! Thanks, feeling much better today. Must've been one of the 24-48 hour bugs or something... maybe one more day and Ill be back to 100%!

 

[jen435]

Bethany glad dh made it home in time for supper!
Horseypants lots of baby dust to you! Hope you get ur sticky bean this cycle!
Amy I do same thing to dh before his game make him have supper with me he always eats a little then afyer bball he comes home like i never feed him! Men im so glad your feeling better!

Oh i almost forgot cycle day 49 af came i spotted only that day next day no blood... not sure if i should count it as cd 1 but def going to count it. My doctor was ready to start me on meds i have appt next week idk whether to cancel it or not.

 

[Storked]

Horseypants, I absolutely love meat too! But I could totally give up most of it just to save money on groceries (that I could use to fund my book fetish) hehe! I can't wait for you to be in the TWW! How exciting! Baby dust honey!
Amy, glad you are on the mend and what you made sounds so yummy! My stew was a crock pot recipe which I hardly use so I am just so relieved that I remembered to get started on it this morning- I remembered too late for other recipes in the past and just ended up eating something else. The crock pot is amazing was sadly done early so Istarted eating on it...and more... and your man may have been full but it sure beats hungry right?
Jen, at least there was progress in the form of spotting but hate that it took so long sorry honey. Hope the next is much shorter!

 

[jen435]

Thanks bethany! Im not even 100% that spoting for a day is af but obgyn said first day of any bleeding is. Starting clearblue digital opk today. Not really sure where my body stands so i figure ill use them in hopes to clear my mind.

My dog was sick this weekend we rushed him to vet hospital he is finally back to his old self agsin! His first cold and we made it through it who woulda thought!

 

[mommylov]

Jen, I say you count it as AF! Im sorry that you have to go through the process of waiting and guessing but like Bethany said, I think its a great sign that you spotted. Also, so sorry about your dog but glad to hear you guys made it through it ok . Good luck with the opk too!!!

Thanks Bethany, feeling MUCH better today . Funny that you mentioned crock pots... I was just talking to a gal at work about cooking with one. I just move to Colorado back In September from California and with the altitude change, I know that you have to cook things a little defferent. My hubby's friends flew out and surprised him at the begining of last month for his bday and I made pot roast... slow roasted for 9 hours like I did in Cali but put it on a lower setting and it came out a little dry dry. Since then I have been scared to use it lol.

So, I took a hpt test today like my obgyn wanted me to do (Well actually she wanted me to take it tomorrow but I couldnt wait) and this is the one time I was glad to see a So hopefully that means my hgc levels are back to normal. I go in next wed for my followup ultrasound to double check everything. They said that they maybe saw a fibroid so I think she wanted to double check it. If all goes well then all I will have to do after that is wait for AF!

 

[Storked]

Jen, be careful with OPKs. So glad your dog is doing good I actually gave my kitty milk yesterday to see if he'd drink. He has just grown so big that he is eating and defecating less. Not much of a kitten anymore
Mommy, I never thought of that about the crockpot! I didn't move super far when I got married but my stuff is cooking much faster than it used to. I used to make soups to drink for the workday and I could leave them on low all day. Weird huh? Will impatiently wait to hear from you about next Wednesday!

I'm watching Little Bear. I love cartoons hehe! I have to go prepare a lesson for cub scouts. Ugh.

 

[jen435]

Amy congrats on bfn hopefully u can officially start trying soon or now.
Bethany aww your kitty is probably sooo sweet i bet he loved his milk
I cancelled my appt and she called me back telling me to reschedule to my surprise they are booked up so ill be going in at end of month. Itll give me time to start charting a new cycle of bbt, cervical position & mucous, opks, symptoms etc.... Id like to figure out my body but idk exactly whats best so im just trying everything. Trying to hold off on medication to normalize atm ill start it at end of month iff ob still encourages it.

 

[lilesMom]

so much to catch up on
amy that is great u got ur bfn, u be back to normal in no time now hon xxxxxxxxx
the person who did my u/s said she thought she saw shadows that were fibroids too, i must remind my doc so i can check it out .
jen i get confused between everyone, how many af have u had since ur loss? my first af was only a day, my second was longer alright but still only 3 days which for me isnt long so id say it was af alright. ur prob better check it out just in case. i also hate opk but only used them for very short tme till they annoyed me too much
glad ur doggy is ok xxxx

bethany chicken stew is too yummy to resist , i totally understand the demolition of it if he doesnt get home fast enough hee hee
do u feed ur kitty much meat? if my cat gets too much meat his tummy goes funny. u can get speacial cat milk too, regular milk isnt great for um, try half milk half water if its regular milk , xx

horseypants keeping my fx for u chick, could very well be ur lucky month. maybe hasnt happened so far cos ur body aint ready and now it is xxxxxxxxxxxx

samsmum u still here hon? how u doin? xxx

i had a lovely day today, had some of my family over for lunch , 12 people was lovely
am also feeling much better, have felt crappy and sick for about 5 weeks, finally shaking my virus thingy i think yey
i didnt ring my doc yet cos she said it would take a week r more so i didnt bother,
i wanted to have a day of not thinkin bout it il ring tomor and hoopefullly they have some results cos it be week and half then

 

[jen435]

Laura good luck tom! Praying for you to have some good news or just some type of news you know. Being in the dark is hard.
This will be cycle 3 for me since d&c... the second cycle was by far the longest. Time will tell all. I never used clear blue products before was considering asking about ppls experiences with the 20 day digital ovulation kit. I think I'm going to!

 

[lilesMom]

i just hadnt the patience for it lots o people swear by opks
best o luck chick.
ur body is prob still getting back to normal, docs used to say wait 3 afs before so maybe thats the end of dodgy afs for u now xx

 

[jen435]

One can only hope

 

[Storked]

Jen, my second was the longest too! I hope this one isn't even longer :-/ hope you figure it all out
Laura, he just eats dry cat food. He is odd and doesn't really care for wet food. He just likes dry food and people food (we have to fend him off every time we eat- even for things a cat shouldn't like, like lemon bars). I just gave him a little bit of the milk to see if he was too sick to drink- he had barely eaten or had anything to drink all day but he lapped up the milk and is eating/drinking normally today so I have no idea what was wrong with him before. Poor boy. But yeah, other than that day he never gets milk lol.
Also, I am with Jen and praying for you
