Today is a bad day for me to start tracking too! I just made a batch of brownies! Now I just need ice cream to go with them! Nom Nom Nom.

Since I already had a screen name, I couldn't use Kootch, sorry!!! hahaha, I will go send you the invite to the group now.

I LOVE brownies & ice cream!!!!!!!!! It's my favorite dessert-save for chocolate chip cookies & ice cream-both with hot fudge and whipped cream!

Okay-I'll go get the request. I also wanted to post my FB profile. I was just thinking today how fun all this is and how it's like my best friends in life are suddenly all my computer friends miles and miles (and timezones) away. It made me a little sad, b/c it would be so much fun if we could all just do a girls night out tonight. So, here's one more way too keep up:

I was watching an interesting program on PBS this morning, with a group of ladies discussing the womens movement and ladies feeling guilty if they stayed home, or feeling guilty if they worked... well, one of the ladies said something about not having kids... she said she's not ChildLESS, she's Child-FREE. I don't know why but I think that sounds so much better.

Titi: Ahhh I can't remember which one is 'The Bat' it's been ages since I saw the movie! Must look it up... or do I dare?

Your comment about the kid doing something naughty brought to mind Stewie Griffin writing 'profanity' on the wall while Brian was babysitting. It read "Poppycock" and I laughed so hard.

My hubby only snores when on his back, and then only gently. If I'm awake it's enough for me to nudge him until he rolls over and stops, but the walls do not vibrate or anything.

'Childfree' I read an entire article once that was in Time about that, people getting called selfish and being ridiculed and harassed for not wanting to have children. What it comes down to is the happiest couples were the ones who had what they wanted. Those who wanted kids and had them were happy, and those who didn't want kids and didn't have them were happy. Those who had kids but hadn't wanted to have kids weren't as happy, and those who wanted kids but didn't have them weren't as happy, so say the polls. I've got a firm To Each Their Own policy myself so if they're happy I'm happy is the way I see it.

Niamh, yes I have a follow up post op appointment tuesday at 2:15. I had to call and move my prenatal appointment from monday to tuesday. I am trying to come to terms with it all. My sisters both smoke and have unhealthy relationships and are not healthy, whileI amthe opposite. I dont smoke and drink only when af showed while TTC, I eat healthy and exercise....and they are the ones having healthy babies! Grrrr! Rant over.....for now......lol......I heard my little sister (not the crazy one) had an abortion yesterday.....which in turn makes me angry and upset. She planned this baby with her boyfriend,then he left her because she is annoying and clingy, so she went to the nearest clinic. It pisses me off, and they should have known better to NOT tell me right now. I am the only one out of the 3 of us that wanted a baby, that tried for a baby so long......grrrr......thought I would catch you girls up on my crazy sisters. By the way, Soph, my crazy sister seems happy I lost mine and that Kim had an 'A', because now its just her......and then she says to me (has the balls to say to me!!!) everything happens for a reason and that is God's way! F U!.....You all know how crazy she is!!! How rude! I will not talk to her if I dont have too!

Niamha and Soph, have you tested yet?

I cannot wait to again......Bring on my favs: Digi Opk's and My Softcups!!!

That's it I'm so ready to come over there and kick some sister butt!!!!! Honestly brains are few and far between now! cant not believe on top of every thing you have to deal with that crap, honestly hun delete their numbers tell your mum if they want to get in touch come through her! eeek Slaps all round to knock some sense in to them GRRRR ok sorry rant over!
Julia you are amazing as I'm reading your post I can tell your hurting but you have a plan and you are remaining positive, I know how painful it is to lose a baby you want soooo much but I also had a great surprise of finding out 8 ish weeks after my MC that I was pregnant again and he was my huge and healthy baby! so I could slap that doc telling you 75% chance I think they set the bar to high, I cant wait to see what your own doctor says as I would say he has all your results now. you keep your chin up and know you are a better person and forget about those stupid sisters who don't have a clue!
I like the talk of opks

I haven't tested yet none in the house I have to wait till Tuesday when I can get to the shops! eeek nervous or what! I keep thinking Mother Nature is going to pull a cruel trick on me


Jaimie did I read you are going to try MACA, you will not be disappointed I swear! get the organic stuff take the capsules or powder in the morning an afternoon only in the evening if you having a late night! they give you a lot of energy

That does not surprise me at all about your crazy sister, but shocked about your other sister. I did not realise that she was so immature. I guess too immature to realise how her actions affect you. So sorry that you are dealing with this

The witch got me yesterday, but I am crossing all my fingers and toes for Niamh - I am sure she's got it!

Hey ladies.... in my "journal of hotness", Titi thought it would be a good idea to start tracking what we are eating and when we exercise. In the past I've used a website: www.livestrong.com which has a page called "My Plate". You can track exactly what you ate and even what exercise you did in a day. Based on your height weight and goals, it will track your calories and tell you how many more you can have in a day. I've done this a couple times in the past and it always has worked wonders for me.

ALSO...... for the ladies struggling with blood sugar, there is a "My Plate D" specially for diabetics.

I created a group (it's by invitation only so not viewable) where if you would like to join this site and track your calories, we can all keep each other motivated. If you join, let me know your login name and I'll send you the invite. I am "Squirrelyone" on that site.

I think it could be a really great way to keep each other motivated to stay healthy. And perhaps something else to obsess over and take our minds off of the TTC stuff a bit!

I am going to joing tonight when I get home from my first day of work in my nes job! Wish me luck! It is a student free day today, and we had to bring a plate to share in the staff room. I made peanut butter and choc cookies, so probably not a good idea to join until AFTER they are all eaten.

Happy Sunday all my favorite ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Squirrel-awww I just saw in your post that your livestrong profile isn't KOOTCH : (
common girls-someone can still pick kootergirl! (I dare you!). I went with Titi920-that way it will be easy to find me.

Niamh-somehow I missed you were a day late-whohooo! FX'd I can't wait to stalk to see what happens!!!!

Dee-Really good thinking about ph testing the SOUP (that's what I call the softcup remnants!) I think I'd like to test both me alone & soup to see. I gotta find out where to get ph tests-might just add that to the Sept. list.

DO: Wear earplugs if you're childless and your oh snores like a rhino.

DONT: Wear earplugs if you are a mommy and supervising your child.

That wasn't too funny in itself but you have to picture my funny cartoon of the DON"T wear the baby is doing something really naughty and mummy is sleeping soundly with smile on her face and sleepmask and daddy is snoring like crazy.

Okay-sorry to anyone I forgot! Jaimie-whacha doin?

Great idea! I am going to test the soup when my kootch testing strips come! Titi, you can buy then on ebay for something ridiculous like $3! Make sure you get the full range ones, apparently they are the good ones. Or if you want to go high tech you can get something called a hanna tester which is a probe that you stick up your snatch, but you have to get calibrating solutions and stuff too, so much more expensive.

By the way, my birds have been saying whatcha doing over and over for the last hour.

 

[soph77]

Titi, I added you on fb. I am the belly dancer.

 

[CelticNiamh]

Soph Thanks hun for your positive thoughts sorry AF got you the dam wicked bitch that she is

 

[Lilaala]

Sorry she got you Soph!

 

[Titi]

Hi again-
Hey Soph thanks for the FB add I found you! I forgot you were a belly dancer. That is so cool. The first unsucessful attempt I had at TTHF! back in Nov. I started a belly dancing class. It was SO much fun. I really liked it. It was hilarious though-NONE of us were very coordinated and there is just something about a chest shimmy that I just CANT do it!!!! Everyone would crack up every time I tried. Anyhow, then my dog started having seizures, and I stopped going and like a lot things haven't gotten back. I am sorry the got you today hun ...........Doesn't she know nobody likes a witchy Kootch!!!
Good advice about Ebay for PH strips-will check there. We can then post our kootch numbers!!!

Lilaala-wow I'm proud of you already posting your diet!!!! I dare not start til tomorrow. Haven't been bad today except since I am on a roll with the mojitos and margaritas wanted to try a new recipe for a cocotini the last day before I'm good!

Child FREE. I like that. It doesn't have quite the depressing lacking sound as childless. Almost like it's a choice-even tho its not. I agree-to each his own.

I forgot about your masterbating birds!!!!! I think it would be funny if they kept repeating "whatcha doing' while you

I am off to Ebay now..........

Sorry about the stupid horrible witch arriving.

Once you join, let me know and I'll send you the invite to the group! This will be awesome to have people on there to keep us all motivated and on track!


Oh, and THANK GOD the world cup is OVER!!!! I'm sure Tanikit is super happy!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Got mine ordered! 160 strips for $2.19 and free shipping! Not sure how they make any money off of that, but whatever!

How do you plan to use those? I mean, they are just flimsy paper. I know if they touch anything at all, like other paper or something, it will show the pH of that.... Because they are flimsy, it's not like you can stick it up in there, right?

 

[Titi]

Jaimie mentioned maybe you can stick a q-tip up there thumbsup: to something else to put in there!).....and then smear q-tip on paper?

 

[SquirrelGirl]

ok, i was thinking i'd read that somewhere, just didn't know where! Hope the cotton doesn't get stuck up there! lol! I always worry about using a q-tip in the ear for that reason!

Anybody tried soy in here? I'm thinking of giving it a try this next month.... Any weird, horrible side effects? I'm currently reading a really huge thread about it, and most everyone raves about it, but I'd love to hear if any of you have had experience with it....

 

[Titi]

used soy last cycle and this cycle-soy isoflavones 38mg tablets. Last cycle I used them cd2-6 about 76-128 mg broken up in 2 doses-half at 5am and the other half between 10am -lunch.

This cycle I did cd -7 and upped the dosage to 190 mg...taken the same way.

This month I thought I noticed more and longer ewcm but I have no idea if that is the soy or not cuz I'm doing some other stuff too. Other than that-I didn't notice anything different at all either cycle-but I'm not all the way done with this cycle yet so idk.
Wait-now that I think about it-both these cycles I have af like cramps plus running stitches like cramps during 2ww-that's slightly different-made me think I was pg last cycle all that cramping.

PS I read this month in TWO different magazines that following the Mediterranean type diet increased fertility by either 40 or 60% (can't remember now, thanks to cocotinis). Maybe for the diet tracking girls we should make sure we are getting lots of olive oils & fish!

 

[Lilaala]

Haha I tried posting the diet and then decided heck I'll make an account and save it.

I tried drinking soymilk a few cycles back, but since ovulation isn't my issue it was kind of pointless for me.... Soy is a natural Clomid substitute after all By my understanding at least.

Masturbating birds... what?

Hmm, for about two years I took a Salmon Oil Omega 3 tablet daily (I don't eat fish ) then I stopped because I read about the mercury levels in fish and how too much can cause infertility. Can't win for losing?

 

[tryforbaby2]

Thank You wonderful women for being who you all are: amazing.

Soph, Damnit........I am sorry she came.

Did anyone else see that mush got her bfp?.......
