Jaimie, my nickname is Miss CrankyPants! DH calls me that all the time...I have no idea why. Actually, I do. That name tag button cracked me up. And yeah, block those people!!

Ohhh, I love that about the hot weather....it is 95 degrees out here today. I have no idea what that is in celcius. But, I just got back from a doctor appointment. I had an ultrasound today for some extra reassurance after my little crying session at the OB last week. I wanted to know if it's possible that my fibroid got bigger since last year. Apparently, it did grow slightly, but the tech said it's still really small and she sees people with fibroids get pg all the time, and it's all the way in the back where it shouldn't hurt my chances at all. So that made me happy. She also looked at my left ovary and saw no dominant follicles and I was all bummed since it's right before O time for me, but then she looked at my right ovary and saw two very large follicles. I could kind of see what she was talking about on the screen. She told me it's "time to make a date" and recommended having a bottle of wine tonight. That made me SUPER happy. Wouldn't it be great if I got pg this cycle, and then one day can tell my child to be, "I remember when you were a follicle?"

Ok, I'm a bit relieved and excited right now, if you can't tell.

Parkgirl and Anna, I have everything crossed for you...even the bbs...I forgot the symbol for crossed bbs. I think Soph or Jaimie made it up.

Oh, I forgot to post my funny stories...

So, for the past couple of hours I've been trying to get on BnB and thought that the site was down because kept getting an error message. Finally, I realized that I somehow kept typing in "babyandbumb."

Also, yesterday DH and I were both working from home and he has this habit of running into my office and flashing me while I'm on a conference call. (OMG, he'd die if he knew I was typing this right now.) Anyway, he did that yesterday, and I came down to his office after to yell at him and he got all sweet and cuddly and we wound up BDing when we were supposed to be working. I guess that's not really funny, but I felt all sneaky and stuff. TTHF!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Oh yea! I forgot your nickname was Miss Cranky Pants MyTurn : ) You need one of those buttons. You are SO lucky you get to work from home with DH. I get to work from home lots and sometimes my DH has the day off. I would throttle him if he flashed me during a conference call though - that would make me totally lose it with hilarity! I'm so glad you are having fun baby making action. You should have gotten a pic of our future child / follicle on the ultrasound : ) Glad your doc did that for you, that is really nice.

Crossed boobies: (.Y.) I got that from TryForBaby2

By the way, when I was looking for a cranky image I found this: https://www.crankypantshome.com/ ridiculous cutie pie hand knit toddler pants! Why does the universe give me cutie pie baby stuff when I'm looking for an image to express my crankiness about not having a cutie pie baby?

 

[honeybee28]

nooooo jaimie that's normal boobies i think crossed boobies is (.x.) !!! Jaimie, you'll get there before you know it I'm sure of it and it'll be soooo sweet when it happens. Everything happens for a reason.xx defo block those fb people.

jill YEY to follicles, im really glad the apppointment went well.
doc is taking blood from me tomorrow for 7dpo test. hubs has a SA next thursday! Do you know how long before the appointment we're not meant to aherm release the spermies for!?

parkgirl and anna, fx for you

tanikit are you feeling any more pregnant yet?!

yey nix!! Congrats. fx for you

hi ejay, lucky, soph niamh (you've been a bit quiet lately hope you're ok), moon, squirrel!!! Loads of love and dust.xxx

 

[MyTurnYet]

Haaaaa, that's hysterical about the cranky pants toddler pants! You know I totally want to buy some, even though I don't have a toddler to put them on. I can make my niece and nephew wear them.

Honey, my DH had two SAs. The second one was a repeat because he, ahem, "released" too close to the first test (like the day before) and the volume wound up being too low, so yeah, definitely watch out for that. From what I remember, he should try to abstain for 3 days before the test, but not for 10 days before. Does that make sense? In other words, make sure he "releases" within at least 10 days before so that is "fresh," but abstain 3 days before test date.

That cracked me up about asking for a follicle pic...how funny would that be if hubby came home and I had a follicle pic on the fridge?

 

[Tanikit]

MyTurnYet - you better get busy - sounds like it would be twins if you fell pregnant this cycle! You normally only see one dominant follicle that close to ovulation.

Not feeling any more pregnant - just very happy that AF has stayed away. Bought another test today despite having a blood test today cause I can't quite believe it and I need to keep seeing it.

Jaimie that is so cute - I think that is so you know what not to get your baby when you get your BFP and when it is born though.

 

[MyTurnYet]

Ohhhh, I want twins so badly! That'd be great. Have a twin niece and nephew...they run in my family, and in DH's family, too. His cousin has triplets, though. I think that's one too many. She needs to have a nanny help her. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, though?

Tanikit, I love your new "March Mummies" sig. Sooo cute!

 

[honeybee28]

ok cool thanks jill - hehe thats funny that your dh had to have it done twice!

oooooh twins would be so great i would love that! i'd take just baby now though please mr stork!!

yey tanikit! Glad the bloods went ok. i think you need to start believing it!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Mmmm - Tanikit is a yummy march mummy! Wee! Did you have this hard a time believing you were pg with DD? I think all the TTC insanity might make you doubt yourself - you are really honest to goodness knocked up hon!

MyTurn - I didn't realize we have that SA situation in common too! My DH released 1 1/2 days before his and his volume was low too. That makes me think that BDing every day isn't such a hot idea, that every other day or every couple of days during your window is better. My DH is doing another one in July...I would love to see you catch both those eggies babe!


I think I'll get and post a mature follicle pic as my profile pic - that will make me feel better about ultrasound pics on Facebook : )

HoneyBee - definitely learn from our mistake and just make sure he releases 3 days before his SA! Sorry you have to go through that hon. It can be really tough for the dudes when their SA results are bad so I think it is a good idea to follow the 3 day rule. I felt very guilty for trying so close to my DH's sample...but it made him drink less!

(.X.) for the 2ww!

 

[honeybee28]

Yeah i think you're right about that actually jaimie, must mean that bd'ing everyday isnt a great idea. crazy right? defo less bding for me next cycle, we did it 5 days in a row this cycle.... cant be good huh!?

haha a teeny tiny bit of me hopes the results make him cut back on drinking. but then most of me doesnt hope that, coz if he didnt cut back what i considered to be enough it'd probably cause a row and we're so tight at the moment.

jaimie really hope that your dh's will be better in july, has he made a lot of changes? is he drinking a lot less than he was?

ok so it's next thursday night, so do monday night right?

ahhhh i just had loads of cookies and cream haagen daz mmmmm sooooooo yummy. i really love ice cream. mint choc chip is my favourite flavour. ahhhh i cant wait til im baking a bean in my belly i might call it a little choc chip lol.

so jamie and jill - are you meant to be working at the moment?! wish i could work from home. id probably wear my pjs all day though lol!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

um, yea, definitely supposed to be working

My DH has been a super star champ about taking vitamins, drinking more water, drinking less beer, and generally trying to improve his for our next sample in July.

And I think a "release" on thursday for a monday sample is perfect.

I've been trying to stay away from the coffee hagen daaz in my freezer

 

[MyTurnYet]

Ohhhh, mint chocolate chip is my favorite, too!! Followed very closely by cookies and cream, yum yum!

Yup, I'm supposed to be working, too. Ssshhh...got all excited about the follicles, and now can't go back to my work computer. I do have it sitting next to me, and check my e-mail every few minutes or so.

Jaimie, I remember you said your DH was cutting back on drinking...I can't seem to get mine to do that! He's also a baby about taking vitamins. He does take Emergen-C, though. That he does all on his own without me having to ask, so I try to make sure we're stocked up in it. I used to take it, too, until I heard (or read somewhere) that too much vitamin C for TTC women can be bad.

 

[honeybee28]

sorry i meant that the other way around, his SA is booked for next Thursday so bd on monday night right?

mmmmmmm iiiiiice cream

ahhhh that's so good! Must make it that bit easier that he's doing his bit to help.

haha naughty you. im meant to be studying actually, ive done an hour or so. gonna go and have a hot bath now i think. hope you get your work done lady!!

 

[MyTurnYet]

Oh, and I totally wear my PJs most days... Today I actually got dressed because we had to have an appraiser stop by, and because of my appointment.

I started working from home one day a week when I first started with my company, but last year they couldn't give us raises because of the economy, so my boss said we could work from home more to make up for it...save $ on gas and all that. Fine by me! Most of the team is in a different part of the country, anyway, so even when I go in to the office, I'm by my lonesome.

 

[MyTurnYet]

Oh, I get it, honey. I think maybe actually BD Sunday night then, since his appt. is on Thurs.

Ok, alright, I guess I'll go get some work done, now.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Yea, I'd do Sunday HoneyBee! And I'll go back to work too - and I definitely wear pj's or work out clothes most days I work from home : )

 

[honeybee28]

ahhh so jealous of you both! Thanks for the tip, will warn dh tonight! Enjoy the rest of your day.xx

 

[SquirrelGirl]

So much to catch up on!! Still have two pages to read, but before I forget everything or get too many multi-quotes going.... here's my first attempt! hehe!

Squirrel - love that, too, that your DH has a plan. So cute! Hope you don't mind, but think I will steal that, as well. Will ask my DH his plan. Trying to be super chill this month as we're going to a specialist at the end of July.

Of course, steal away. In all honesty, at the time I asked him his plan I was bawling about it not being our month yet again, and clearly what I was doing wasn't working. It really blew me away that he had a very quick answer to the question, though!

I was definitely feeling a little sorry for myself yesterday but I think that is mostly because it was a slow work day. I had a run this morning in the desert and feel loads better. I am going to block a couple of gals on Facebook too - too many ultrasound pics and baby pics! Blocking makes me happy They aren't people I know very well and I will unblock them once I am less cranky about babies and bumps. You'd think someone that gets cranky about that stuff wouldn't spend half her day on a forum of the same name...

Yep, just recently hid or unfriended several people on Facebook for this very reason. Definitely makes for a better facebook experience!

I'm longing for some hot weather - apparently hot weather can make you more fertile so good luck to all of you BDing at the moment.

Squirrel you are brave to leave things up to OH though it makes a lot of sense - maybe this will be your lucky cycle because of it.

WHAT?!?!?! I have never heard this! In that case, bring on the heat wave!!!!!!!!!!!

And the thought of letting OH decide when to BD really relieves a lot of stress on me. It's more like a partnership. I was starting to feel like I was doing everything by taking vitamins, POAS, saying when to BD, etc. So it's nice.

Ohhh, I love that about the hot weather....it is 95 degrees out here today. I have no idea what that is in celcius. But, I just got back from a doctor appointment.

Go get him, MyTurn, whoop whoop! bowchicka bow bow

Also, yesterday DH and I were both working from home and he has this habit of running into my office and flashing me while I'm on a conference call. (OMG, he'd die if he knew I was typing this right now.) Anyway, he did that yesterday, and I came down to his office after to yell at him and he got all sweet and cuddly and we wound up BDing when we were supposed to be working. I guess that's not really funny, but I felt all sneaky and stuff. TTHF!

That is ---AWESOME---! So jealous of the mid day rendezvous!!!

MyTurnYet - you better get busy - sounds like it would be twins if you fell pregnant this cycle! You normally only see one dominant follicle that close to ovulation.

Not feeling any more pregnant - just very happy that AF has stayed away. Bought another test today despite having a blood test today cause I can't quite believe it and I need to keep seeing it.

TWINS!!!!! THAT WOULD BE CRAZY AWESOME! And Myturn, if you don't want two at the same time, I'll take one!

Hope it starts to sink in soon for you Tanikit!

 

[soph77]

omg, I think I just did something bad

Had a shitty day yesterday, so woke up today determined to have a good day

Hungry.... Check cupboards - empty

Bought a mars bar yesterday that I didn't eat, that will be OK for breakfast

Turns out, mars bars are not a good breakfast choice - feel sick
