[MyTurnYet]

Hi ladies!! Had some really bad AF (have I mentioned how much I hate AF?) cramps today and accidentally took Midol with caffeine in it before bed, and now can't sleep! Gave up coffee and my body is not used to having caffeine, I don't think. Feeling a little loopy.

In other news, today was my OB appointment. I actually got AF while sitting on the table waiting for her to come in to see me, so when she walked in I was just sitting there tearing up. I think she felt bad for me. She is sending me to a Reproductive Endocrinologist at Yale, which is great, so I feel really positive about that. Her office will call to set up the appointment for me. She also reassured me that the fibroid they found on my ultrasound a year ago was really small. I finally found out it's an "intramural" fibroid...which makes it sound like it is going to gym class as opposed to burrowing in my uterus. Apparently, it's not in a spot where it should affect anything, but she ordered a repeat ultrasound for next week, I think mostly to put my mind at ease with my crying and all, and some repeat blood tests for while I wait for my RE appointment.

Squirrel, I know what you mean about the clothes...I ordered all those clothes online around Memorial Day, and more than half didn't fit! I even ordered a size up from my regular size, but I guess my regular size now is actually 2 sizes larger than what I think I am. I was glad in a way because I spent so much money, so didn't feel too bad about taking them back.

Anna, is Skye ok? I feel so gutted when kids get hurt. I hope that she is better now.

Tanikit, those pictures you posted made me sooo happy! Your little girl is absolutely beautiful, and the puppy is so cute! I just love them. I feel like I need to quote Honeybee: "mmmm yummy babies foot [and puppies and little blonde curls] nom nom."

Jaimie, the Santa Fe stuff is super cool. What were you speaking on? Did you ever see Rent? That song totally popped up in my head reading your post...it seems like a magical type place. Kind of how I feel about Venice. Thank you for praying for all of us. I suspect it worked.

Lucky, I thought of you TWICE today! First, someone on TV mentioned Burning Man (and I FINALLY googled it!), and then I saw a commercial featuring a lady who does roller derby! This all just reinforces my image of you as a super adventerous TTHFer.

Parkgirl, isn't working at home great? I just love that extra sleep in the morning, but find sometimes I don't manage to get dressed for the day until like 6 pm.

Ejay, thank you for the hugs and well wishes. Right back atcha.

Ok, I think I'm ready to come off my caffeine high now and crash in bed. Tomorrow night, will be going to a concert after work so will be checking back in on Friday morning. Night all!!

 

[LuckyD]

LuckyD its nice you have something more distant to look forward to - definitely helps. The World Cup madness is catching - I don't watch much of it, but do hear what is going on and since we are not a very patriotic bunch I know many SOuth AFricans supporting other teams which makes it more interesting and keeps people following it.

It is way too cold today - I cannot get warm. Brought Fudgie home today - he had a rough day yesterday after waking from the anaesthetic, but is walking around quite happily today. I'll have to take him in to work a few times to sort out the bandages and check a few things, but he is much happier here with us - still working on getting photos. At least his temperature is down and he's eating fine.

Yeah, I can imagine it would be hard to ignore the world cup where you are at the moment! That is interesting about South Africans supporting other teams - why is that do you think?
Glad to hear that Fudgie is feeling better!

LuckyD- funny how it is a winter BFP explosion for you! I really hope it works out well with the army house. I completely hear what you are saying about funding for youth mentoring programs and the like. So glad you are going to see Blondie and The Pretenders! That is going to be worth every penny. I just bought tickets to see the Pixies in September

I spent the last 24 hours in Santa Fe! I spoke at a conference there yesterday. That is one incredible town - Santa Fe means 'holy spirit' and it is well named. The whole place just exudes spirituality. There is this amazing cathedral and chapel in the middle of town. I'm a pretty crummy catholic - buddhism is much more appealing to me. But I sat in both the cathedral and the chapel and said a prayer to St. Gerard, the patron saint of mothers and women trying to conceive. I said it for all of us Here are some pics:

Oh my god - I saw the Pixies a few years ago and it was one of the BEST concerts I have ever seen! Kim Deal is amazing. Is this the Doolittle tour or something new?

Santa Fe is cool - we spent a night there on our roadtrip last year. Had the best dinner ever there - with the strongest margaritas I have ever had. One woman that was dining in the same room as us got lost on the way back from the toilets after drinking only one of them...so funny.

You are so sweet about the prayer x hope St Gerard was listening

This is my DD, Laurana with the puppy - she adores him and he is sleeping in her bed right now - he fell asleep before she did. He is doing so much better for all the attention.

Soooooo cute Tanikit! Your daughter is beautiful, and Fudgie is adorable! What a cute pair x

well i'm here girls, been a busy week so far, i had to take skye to the hospital last night as she smacked her eye and hurt it badly but she is alright now, 3 hours to be seen was stupid, anyway with me i have alot of watery/clear discharge and i felt bega dizzy elier while i was out with my mate at the fair with the kids, and i felt sick also, anyway im due on in 10 days if i go by a 58 day cycle sooooo i dunno what to think i just so tired right now so i think i will get going to bed now, sorry i havent replyed to you girls i will try to catch up soon just so tired and dont feel right

night night mwah

Oh no, hope Skye is ok Anna - that's horrible. Sorry to hear you are not feeling good - hope things improve soon x

Oh sweetie, I wanted to cry when I thought of you getting AF at your OB appointment - you poor love. It's great to hear that some action is being taken and that you are going to get a RE appointment. Really hope it goes well for you xx

That is nice you thought of me twice! How crazy is Burning Man! It's seriously amazing and out there.
There was just a big huge roller derby tournament in Australia, that my old league organised - it was a big deal and it made me miss derby so much! Don't know about adventurous...but I do love derby


Just sitting here waiting for AF - I know that she is on the way, just want her to hurry up and arrive!

 

[honeybee28]

Tankit oh my, your pup and dd are so cute!! nom nom nom lol.

jaimie - totally was me being nervous about the interview that turned me into cranky bitch, i feel fine today. well im slightly cranky coz dh wants us to go out and get drunk and watch the football tomorrow night, and i want us to stay in and chill out. he's not great at compromising sometimes, so will probably just say that he'll go out without me! grrrr men and sport. thank you for saying a prayer for us all! really hope it works.

thanks for everyones good luck wishes - the interview part went well, but the technical exam was really tough, i reckon i knew about 50% of the answers which im not sure will be enough but we'll see.

got my peak today yesssssssss!!!

have a great day/eve everyone!!

 

[Tanikit]

MyTurn, sorry to hear about AF arriving - that must have been awful. Hope your next appointment will go well and that you will get some answers.

LuckyD many South AFricans come from other countries and have been living here a long time (10-30 years or more many of them) but the country you are born in seems to have a very strong pull. I'm 4th generation South African and yet my relatives come from England and Canada so I have some inclination to support England too - besides which South Africa doesn't have a great soccer team, so we need someone to support in the next round

Anna really hope Skye is better soon - its horrible you had to wait so long!

Lucky hugs - will always hope that AF doesn't arrive, but if you know she is coming then try do something really special for yourself.

Honeybee glad teh interview went well and hopefully you will get a great exam result too. Good luck for this cycle.

9dpo today and I have an extremely heightened sense of smell especially since my nose still seems blocked from that cold - everything tastes vile and the only nice thing I have smelt today was the cut grass (don't even know who's house that was coming from - not ours) The rest of it was disgusting - dirty teeth of a dog at work, rubbish in the rubbish bins on the side of the road, cleaning Laurana's potty (eww), the smell the dogs left in the bathroom last night (I locked them in there - there is no poo but it still stinks), the smell of winter (we have had frost for two days now and then is a cold dry smell - never noticed it before so can't describe). I think I need to go looking for nice smells - any suggestions - even our heater smells of burning and I never noticed that last night (nothing is burning)

 

[honeybee28]

Jill i forgot to say im so sorry about af showing up and also the way she showed up! what an evil bitch!!

tanikit have you done an hpt!? if you want a nice smell maybe you could bake some cookies or something!!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

i had to take skye to the hospital last night as she smacked her eye and hurt it badly but she is alright now, 3 hours to be seen was stupid,

i just so tired right now so i think i will get going to bed now, sorry i havent replyed to you girls i will try to catch up soon just so tired and dont feel right

night night mwah

Hope you and Skye feel better soon Anna! Sounds like a tough day you had

Hi ladies!! Had some really bad AF (have I mentioned how much I hate AF?) cramps today and accidentally took Midol with caffeine in it before bed, and now can't sleep! Gave up coffee and my body is not used to having caffeine, I don't think. Feeling a little loopy.

I finally found out it's an "intramural" fibroid...which makes it sound like it is going to gym class as opposed to burrowing in my uterus.

Hope you were able to get some sleep eventually - I've never seen the midol with caffeine in it - does all midol have that or do you have to buy it special?

You made me cry and laugh at your post - I've totally cried at the gynecologists' office before. I was bummin' about all the babies and bumps in the waiting room and posters in the examination room. That was before DH and I even started trying! I think he agreed to start trying a couple of months after that because of how bummed I was at that appointment. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have AF show there I'm so sorry hon. I hope the next few days are ok for you

The intramural fibroid is hilarious! I hope it gets a good workout and disappears

Tankit oh my, your pup and dd are so cute!! nom nom nom lol.

jaimie - totally was me being nervous about the interview that turned me into cranky bitch, i feel fine today. well im slightly cranky coz dh wants us to go out and get drunk and watch the football tomorrow night, and i want us to stay in and chill out. he's not great at compromising sometimes, so will probably just say that he'll go out without me! grrrr men and sport. thank you for saying a prayer for us all! really hope it works.

got my peak today yesssssssss!!!

have a great day/eve everyone!!

Yeah for your peak honeybee! I hope you get some great news about that interview. I'm not sure I could handle an exam and an interview in the same day - I would be hella cranky. Hope your DH behaves himself!

9dpo today and I have an extremely heightened sense of smell especially since my nose still seems blocked from that cold - everything tastes vile and the only nice thing I have smelt today was the cut grass (don't even know who's house that was coming from - not ours) The rest of it was disgusting - dirty teeth of a dog at work, rubbish in the rubbish bins on the side of the road, cleaning Laurana's potty (eww), the smell the dogs left in the bathroom last night (I locked them in there - there is no poo but it still stinks), the smell of winter (we have had frost for two days now and then is a cold dry smell - never noticed it before so can't describe). I think I need to go looking for nice smells - any suggestions - even our heater smells of burning and I never noticed that last night (nothing is burning)

Hmmm - your heightened sense of smell sounds like a juicy symptom to me!

I'm going to get a digi opk today and start using it next week I've never tried a digi before.

LuckyD - I'm glad you've gotten to see the Pixies since the reunion. I am really looking forward to it - I never got a chance to see them before they broke up and I didn't catch their first reunion tour. It is another Doolittle tour. I'm a huge Kim fan - I really dig the Breeders too. Ha! Get it, breeders? Maybe I should listen to more of them...

 

[Tanikit]

Honeybee I might get tempted to do an HPT soon if symptoms continue, but 9dpo is still too early. After I wrote that I went shopping and noticed the smell of raw red meat again - the only time it ever bothered me before was when I was pregnant with DD. Maybe I'll test on Father's Day after all. I'm just tired of hopeful 2ww symptoms that end in BFNs so not too keen to test. Will try a hot bath with bubbles or aroma oils tonight - can't do cookies since I am supposed to be watching the sugar levels and the smell might be too tempting (but sure it would smell nice)

Lucky what is Midol?

Jaimie hope the digi opks do their job nicely - always fun to try new toys

 

[parkgirl]

MyTurnYet-- Ugh, that sucks to start while at your appointment. I'm glad you are going to see a specialist, FX that really helps.

LuckyD- Hope the af wait isn't too bad.

Tanikit-Oh, the smells sound promising. FX for you and tons of

honeybee- Woo Hoo for your peak!!

Jaimie- I love the Digi OPKs. Take the guess work out.


I'm 9 DPO today and have felt nauseous all day. Not horribly, but very noticeable. It would go away when I had hot tea and crackers, but nothing else seemed to help. I really hope I'm not getting sick. Two of the guys I work with went home sick today. The weather is finally going to be nice for a day or two, so DH and I want to go bike riding tomorrow morning. We also have plans to visit his dad on Saturday for a Fathers Day BBQ.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Tanikit - midol is a brand of pain reliever here in the U.S. it is particularly good for cramps and other pms nastiness.

Got my digi opks today. I got a pack of Clear Blue 20 test strips with the digital reader. Is that different than the CBFM?

Hope you have a nice bike ride and BBQ ParkGirl!

Just don't take a bath that's too hot!!! I thought it was bad to raise your body temperature too much when TTC or PG.



Hi everyone!

MyTurn... how awful to get AF while at the OBGYN's office! Very happy to hear that your doctor is referring you and getting some tests done.

 

[Ejay]

Hi all

well the weather has been nice here recently, I have been riding my young horse in the evenings the past few days, although last night was one of those moments with young horses: what did you want me to do Mum? I am a bit confused, I don't think I want to do it at all, I can't remember how to do that. I know I have done it 100 times before perfectly, but tonight I can't do it (well if horses could talk I think that is what she would have been saying last night)

The walk home the other night was just as good, I saw two skylarks having a bit of a tiiff, chasing each other around. The walk is about 4 miles, so very do able.

Tanikit - Fudgie looks so cute, and very contented, I am glad he is doing well. Your daughter has lovely hair, I am blonde but have straight hair and always wanted curls.

Jaimie - The pics lok great, thanks for saying a prayer for us hopefully it does the trick. Maybe you could put St Gerard as your avatar?

Myturn - so sorry about AF getting you at such a bad time, although the plus side is that it sounds like things are moving in the right direction for you and hopefully you will be able to get some answers.

Honey - Hope the BDing goes well, FX for you this cycle.

Lucky - sending you some real big , The wait for AF is such a bummer, I realy hope she stays away for you but if not sending you some more

Tanikit - those symptoms sound very promising!

Hiya Squirrel, where is that wavy hand smilie when you are loking for it!!!

 

[LuckyD]

got my peak today yesssssssss!!!

have a great day/eve everyone!!

Congrats on your peak honeybee!!! Hope you got some good BD action xx

I think I need to go looking for nice smells - any suggestions - even our heater smells of burning and I never noticed that last night (nothing is burning)

That is interesting about South Africa Tanikit. Yep, we have a rubbish soccer team too...but NZ always feels like the little underdog anyway, we are used to it! That is really exciting about your sense of smell - sounds very hopeful! Fingers crossed for you!!!

LuckyD - I'm glad you've gotten to see the Pixies since the reunion. I am really looking forward to it - I never got a chance to see them before they broke up and I didn't catch their first reunion tour. It is another Doolittle tour. I'm a huge Kim fan - I really dig the Breeders too. Ha! Get it, breeders? Maybe I should listen to more of them...

Oh, you are gonna love it! Sooooo good, I saw them about three years ago and I felt like a teenager at my first concert....me and my friend managed to be standing in the second row, and the crowd knew every word to every song...it was gold. I would go see them again in a shot. Plus, my friend just saw them on the Doolittle tour and apparently they came back for an encore and played a whole heap of other songs too. I'm excited for you!

I'm 9 DPO today and have felt nauseous all day. Not horribly, but very noticeable. It would go away when I had hot tea and crackers, but nothing else seemed to help. I really hope I'm not getting sick. Two of the guys I work with went home sick today. The weather is finally going to be nice for a day or two, so DH and I want to go bike riding tomorrow morning. We also have plans to visit his dad on Saturday for a Fathers Day BBQ.

Hmmmm, nausea? Could this be a good thing? Hope you're not getting sick too x enjoy your bike ride and BBQ - sounds like a lovely weekend.

Hi all

well the weather has been nice here recently, I have been riding my young horse in the evenings the past few days, although last night was one of those moments with young horses: what did you want me to do Mum?

This is so cute Ejay, I love it! Glad the weather has been good and you are having some good riding on your horse. What is the young horse called?


Woooo! Weekend is here! Not sure what we are up to tomorrow (well, apart from some definite house cleaning...) but I am happy about having no plans! Then sunday might go to the movies with my girls....

Nothing real exciting going on at the moment...waiting for AF....boring.

My OH is fixing a bike in the living room as I write this...

 

[Tanikit]

Squirrel, it is bad to raise your body temp, but I think they mean using a sauna or steam bath which raises your temperature into a fever tenperature which is definitely too high. I have tried taking my temperature before and after a hot bath and it doesn't change all that much.

Ejay it sounds so nice to go riding in the evenings - its been years since I rode and I miss it. What is your horse called and what was he supposed to be doing?

Hope everyone has a good weekend. My sister in law has lent me her car for the weekend and hopefully a bit beyond so I ran around all morning doing chores and am now thoroughly exhausted. Its so nice to have teh freedom to do what I need/want to do. My DH and I are supposed to be talking tonight about what we will do about the car issue - we had wanted to get a second car anyway when they hijacked us and I still want us to have 2 cars, but we are worried about what we can afford.

I have a 4 day weekend now - we had to change work times because of the soccer, so hopefully it will be a nice rest - would love it if it ended with a BFP, but only time will tell - I hate the waiting.

i'm alright just i was surpriced to feel dizzy and that

MyTurn, sorry to hear about AF arriving - that must have been awful. Hope your next appointment will go well and that you will get some answers.

LuckyD many South AFricans come from other countries and have been living here a long time (10-30 years or more many of them) but the country you are born in seems to have a very strong pull. I'm 4th generation South African and yet my relatives come from England and Canada so I have some inclination to support England too - besides which South Africa doesn't have a great soccer team, so we need someone to support in the next round

Anna really hope Skye is better soon - its horrible you had to wait so long!

Lucky hugs - will always hope that AF doesn't arrive, but if you know she is coming then try do something really special for yourself.

Honeybee glad teh interview went well and hopefully you will get a great exam result too. Good luck for this cycle.

9dpo today and I have an extremely heightened sense of smell especially since my nose still seems blocked from that cold - everything tastes vile and the only nice thing I have smelt today was the cut grass (don't even know who's house that was coming from - not ours) The rest of it was disgusting - dirty teeth of a dog at work, rubbish in the rubbish bins on the side of the road, cleaning Laurana's potty (eww), the smell the dogs left in the bathroom last night (I locked them in there - there is no poo but it still stinks), the smell of winter (we have had frost for two days now and then is a cold dry smell - never noticed it before so can't describe). I think I need to go looking for nice smells - any suggestions - even our heater smells of burning and I never noticed that last night (nothing is burning)

she is alright thank you for caring

i had to take skye to the hospital last night as she smacked her eye and hurt it badly but she is alright now, 3 hours to be seen was stupid,

i just so tired right now so i think i will get going to bed now, sorry i havent replyed to you girls i will try to catch up soon just so tired and dont feel right

night night mwah

Hope you and Skye feel better soon Anna! Sounds like a tough day you had

Hi ladies!! Had some really bad AF (have I mentioned how much I hate AF?) cramps today and accidentally took Midol with caffeine in it before bed, and now can't sleep! Gave up coffee and my body is not used to having caffeine, I don't think. Feeling a little loopy.

In other news, today was my OB appointment. I actually got AF while sitting on the table waiting for her to come in to see me, so when she walked in I was just sitting there tearing up.

I finally found out it's an "intramural" fibroid...which makes it sound like it is going to gym class as opposed to burrowing in my uterus.

Hope you were able to get some sleep eventually - I've never seen the midol with caffeine in it - does all midol have that or do you have to buy it special?

You made me cry and laugh at your post - I've totally cried at the gynecologists' office before. I was bummin' about all the babies and bumps in the waiting room and posters in the examination room. That was before DH and I even started trying! I think he agreed to start trying a couple of months after that because of how bummed I was at that appointment. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have AF show there I'm so sorry hon. I hope the next few days are ok for you

The intramural fibroid is hilarious! I hope it gets a good workout and disappears

Tankit oh my, your pup and dd are so cute!! nom nom nom lol.

jaimie - totally was me being nervous about the interview that turned me into cranky bitch, i feel fine today. well im slightly cranky coz dh wants us to go out and get drunk and watch the football tomorrow night, and i want us to stay in and chill out. he's not great at compromising sometimes, so will probably just say that he'll go out without me! grrrr men and sport. thank you for saying a prayer for us all! really hope it works.

thanks for everyones good luck wishes - the interview part went well, but the technical exam was really tough, i reckon i knew about 50% of the answers which im not sure will be enough but we'll see.

got my peak today yesssssssss!!!

have a great day/eve everyone!!

Yeah for your peak honeybee! I hope you get some great news about that interview. I'm not sure I could handle an exam and an interview in the same day - I would be hella cranky. Hope your DH behaves himself!

9dpo today and I have an extremely heightened sense of smell especially since my nose still seems blocked from that cold - everything tastes vile and the only nice thing I have smelt today was the cut grass (don't even know who's house that was coming from - not ours) The rest of it was disgusting - dirty teeth of a dog at work, rubbish in the rubbish bins on the side of the road, cleaning Laurana's potty (eww), the smell the dogs left in the bathroom last night (I locked them in there - there is no poo but it still stinks), the smell of winter (we have had frost for two days now and then is a cold dry smell - never noticed it before so can't describe).

Hmmm - your heightened sense of smell sounds like a juicy symptom to me!

I'm going to get a digi opk today and start using it next week I've never tried a digi before.

LuckyD - I'm glad you've gotten to see the Pixies since the reunion. I am really looking forward to it - I never got a chance to see them before they broke up and I didn't catch their first reunion tour. It is another Doolittle tour. I'm a huge Kim fan - I really dig the Breeders too. Ha! Get it, breeders? Maybe I should listen to more of them...

shes good thanks, just up at my mums today, and last night me and andy had sex and he checked my cervix and said i am ovulating because it was open

Hmm Lucky, seems like you've been waiting quite a while for AF! Are you late yet or is this the normal amount of time between your pre-AF symptom and actual AF?

Ejay - that is an interesting idea about using St. Gerard for my pic - but he doesn't make me smile the way Annie Oakley does. Glad you are enjoying the walk to and from work.

Anna - so sorry to hear that Skye has the chicken pox now too!

Tanikit - I hope you find a good car soon, or maybe two : ) Is your insurance working out?

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Squirrel, it is bad to raise your body temp, but I think they mean using a sauna or steam bath which raises your temperature into a fever tenperature which is definitely too high. I have tried taking my temperature before and after a hot bath and it doesn't change all that much.

Good to know! Sounds like you're being careful about it by having temped to test it out!

At my old house, I had a hot tub. I loved it. But I guess it's good we moved and had to leave it behind, because I'd miss being able to use it if it was just sitting there on my deck.

 

[honeybee28]

hey everyone

jaimie it sounds like you have the standard cb digis, do the give you a smiley face when you ov? if so that's them. the cbfm is a bit different, you pee on a stick everyday between around cd10 and when you ov then plug that stick into a little machine that tells you if your fertility level is low, high or peak.

im off to cook dinner now and then im going to see my friend while dh goes to the pub to watch football. i've convinced him to leave the pub pretty much as soon as it finishes though lol.

have fun.xxx

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Thanks honeybee! My cb digis do have the smiley face. I hope your hubby obeys and comes back after the game!

At some point we'll have to rehab both our bathrooms and I really want to get one of those tubs with the bubblers built into them : )

 

[parkgirl]

Hello ladies! Hope everyone is doing well. DH and I were able to go on a wonderful bike ride this morning, then out to breakfast. Now we are getting the house ready for dinner guests tonight. A few of our good friends are coming over for dinner and games.

I'm off to the store.

 

[Ejay]

Lucky - Hope AF stays away have a good weekend, OH and I have no plans at the moment either, I love it, I am always complaining about all the jobs we have to do at the weekend, mostly my doing.

My young horse is called Jameela, she has just turned 5 and we were practicing for a dressage competition. She is still a real baby and tries realy hard but gets confused very easily.

Tanikit - stick with Annie, Yeeeee Hawwww

Anna - so glad Skye is doing better, it must have been a real worry for you.

Who was talking about hot tubs, I love them, when we go visit OH's parents they have a huge hot tub, I could just laze in there all day
