Thanks Sandy. I've spoke to a couple of girls and the majority think 7DPO so think I'll go with that.
 
Bb-progesterone levels peak at 7dpo and then begin to fall when pregnancy hasn't occurred to trigger AF. Going in at 7dpo is the best indication of ovulation/O strength.
 
Cute shoes Kara!!

I agree with the reasoning of 7dpo testing.

afm, bleeding stopped. Alia has a cold.
 
I agree with 7dpo as well!!

Nikki- so weird! Maybe THAT was implantation bleeding?!?! Didn't you and DH BD recently without protection?! Lol.

Kara- Love the shoes! So cute!

Amanda :hugs: I hope you're doing okay hun.

Amanda waves- How's home life with the baby outside your belly?! Lol. Is Hannah being good with her?

Katrina- I wish I had a temp to scrutinize!!! Lol. Still keeping FX for you. No sign of AF?

Afm, anatomy scan tomorrow! I'm super excited to see our baby girl again :) Hope everything goes well. A little nervous.
 
BB-agree with the 7dpo. That's what my doc had me do too. I ovulated anywhere from cd13 to cd20 and had a 13 day luteal phase...cd21 would not have worked for me at all! 7 days before af might have been ok, but seems like that's more guess work and would be off if you have an extra short or long luteal phase.
I'm so glad they are doing all this testing for you! Hopefully you'll get some answers quickly.

Nikki-Sorry Alia is sick :(

Cassidy-Try not to worry. I think the anatomy scan is always nerve wracking bc you just want everything to be ok...most likely it will all be just fine. :hugs:

We have our last growth scan tomorrow. Hoping both babies are head down and close in weight still. I can't believe we only have 4-5 weeks at most until we meet these little people. I think there is still a disconnect in my brain...Even though my belly is always moving and we refer to them by name, it's like I still don't realize they will be coming out and will be little humans that I am responsible for. I'm going to be in for a real shock when they get here! lol
We still have so much to do and time is counting down quickly. It's hard to get up and move at this point, so I'm not sure how it will all get done!
 
Cassidy, that's so exciting! Everything will be fine, I know it! I'm always nervous, too.

Julie, that's so exciting for you too! I hope she's head down for you! Everything will get done. Somehow, it does. Maybe you'll get that nesting urge and take it all out! I don't know how you do it with 2 babies in there. I have no energy with just one! Well I am working all the time, but STILL!! I know what you mean about not feeling like this is really about to happen. I'm still tryin to wrap my head around being pregnant for real.. it seemed like it would never happen! And since I can't feel it yet (although I think I got a little tap/bubble one day last week!), it really feels unreal.

Katrina, hope you had fun! Still FX for you, too.

BB, I think that's a good plan. :) FX!!

Nikki, Sorry Alia is sick. I hope she feels better soon! I hope your weird bleeding stays away.

I'm poooped! I wish I could take tomorrow off. :/ My day off was busyyyyy! I woke up too early tossing and turning. I got up and cleaned house for a bit. My parents came over early, and we went shopping and out to lunch and shopping. Then we came home and went to the in-laws for dinner. Hung out with the fam, and now I'm vegging in my chair, but I should be doing SOMETHING! ..But I'm not. Well I guess I am doing laundry.. and I did make something to take to work for lunch a few days that's fairly low in carbs so I can just add the carbs I need to it.. in the form of dessert maybe! ;) I made something along the lines of cabbage rolls, but I just browned my hamburger and onion with some garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Then I added my chopped up cabbage and tomato juice and let it cook until it was done. It's actually very yummy, and much easier than cabbage rolls. I got a blender today so I need to find some smoothie recipes that work for my new diet, too. Off to Pinterest I go! Haha. I'm only 13+2 and I just snissed. Seriously!? I could cry right now. How is that even possible..?!
 
Sandy-LOL I snissed more around that time than I have recently. I actually haven't had that happen in a few months...not sure that's possible considering how big I am and how much pressure is going on down there. I have been kicked in the bladder and felt like I might pee, but somehow didn't lol

We have people coming to do a deep clean Tuesday morning. I am trying to do some things to prepare for them coming. Mainly we have things piled around that I need to move out of their way. Right now my goal is to clean up the kitchen counters and wash the pots and pans in the sink, but so far that's going extremely slow...My pelvis hates me the entire time and my feet are starting to swell already. I need a personal assistant lol
 
Sandy- make protein shakes. My fav is ice, milk, 1/4 banana, 1 tbs peanut butter and scoop of chocolate muscle milk protein powder...works great with blood sugar numbers and soooo good.
 
Cass- happy bday to your hubby soon!! Ps. How has he been feeling?

anyone have ideas for my hubby bday from Alia?
 
Julie, I'm sure! Glad someone is coming to clean for you though!

Nikki, thanks for the recipe. That sounds yummy! I'll have to try it. I wonder if I can get the protein powder at the grocery store. I hate going to Walmart.. Can you make it ahead like the night before? I'm just not hungry at 6 or 6:30 when I get up, so I'm hoping to get some breakfast in easier this way. I can sip on it as I get ready. What about like.. a photo and frame if he has an office? Coffee cup or something with her picture on it? Pinterest always has great ideas, too.
 
Hope everyone had a great weekend! I hit 27 weeks today, which i'm considering to be the third tri! Whew.. right now it's flying. I know it'll slow down at the end, but for now, I can't believe how fast it's going.

Julie- I am the same way. It's still so strange to me that I'm going to have a baby that i'm completely responsible for. LOL.
 
Julie I hope they are both head down tomorrow.
Nikki I agree a picture frame or maybe a handprint set to hang up.
No af yet. I'm pretty sure she is coming. I'm extremely grumpy, skin is being a terror and have some ewcm. I wish I had a temp too, but sharing a couch with a cat all night wouldn't have been accurate anyway.
 
Sandy- IV never tried, but I bet you can make it night before an stick it in fridge. I believe they sell the protein powder at grocery store. But in my opinion muscle milk is the best kind.

so I ordered dh a beer glass mug that says "2014 January 5th, love you daddy!

also, dh was awesome today... He changed our sheets and did all of the laundry (including folding it)! Now if I could just find time/energy to treat him to sex. Between a baby, exhausted mommy and my mother living with us its been hard!
 
Just been to the hospital and had 7 vials of blood taken. Results will take roughly 6 weeks.

I put in a complaint whilst I was there. The gynae unit is right smack bang in the middle of the antenatal and delivery suite. Twice I was asked if I was there for a scan and once at my appointment on Friday. I didn't know whether to scream or cry. How insensitive!
 
I'll look for that Nikki. Thanks! What a cute idea for a gift!

Bb, yay for results and yay for standing up for yourself! That's ridiculous!

Britt, so exciting! It's gonna be time to meet Harper so soon!

Katrina, I hope not, but if so I am sure femara will do the trick!!

Afm, getting new tires today. Much needed, but I sure hate spending the money. I'm planning to make beef and broccoli or steak for supper. It's supposed to snow an inch or so today. Ugh. I'm OVER snow and wintee. Bleh. I don't feel so great today. Nothing specific .. I tossed and turned all night though so that is probably part of it I am sure. Happy Monday!
 
I know Sandy! Not long now!!! I too am also over winter. It was nearly 70 on Saturday, and today it's 20 and we are supposed to get up to 3" of snow tomorrow. I could seriously cry. I guess the upside to having a baby at the end of June is that i'll have a good chunk of the summer off. I can take her to the park to walk around and at least do things outside!
