Hey Alin!

I'm praying that you see a BFP! Any inkling on whether you are or not? What is your gut telling you! FX'd and lots of sticky

 

[alin3boys]

Thanks Ali I'm not sure as I never had symptoms with my other 7 pregnancies untill after the bfp,I keep getting pain in my chest and back though like trapped gas but don't know if related,I do know I normally have backache by now but haven't so far.

I guess that is why they say we shouldn't symptom spot during the 2WW! If you don't have any symptoms its difficult to tell,

Well regardless, I'm rooting for you So when will you test? I guess it is a little early now, but in another few days, you should be able to test.

Ali- O.M.G. It is actually cold there? I want it I want it I want it!! Ugh, hot here again today and the sun got a jump start on me—I slept in til 7:50 again Aw well….. Um, the water dumping does help because then any little breeze is automatically cooling But after awhile I just feel basted lol

Awesome, you “met” another some-one special! You deserve it, is he handsome? That counts along with sweetness lol! My dh told bowled me with his looks Over 6 feet, curliy black hair, dark skin, black eyes – Italian, you know…muscular, nice butt (TOTALLY counts ) LOL! Plus the kick-butt martial arts and military stuff just totally won me over…sigh. Us women…what’r we gonna do with ourselves? That’s part of my issue now, I have always been tough and so is he, we have that in common but there are times I sure am sick of being tough Specially when I’m preggo and it’s hot out

JESS! Yay! I am glad to see you on today Wow, a weekend geta-way! I hope it is nice where you are going, drink something cold and alcoholic for me, like a nice long-neck beer Ahhhhhh. LOL! That is one tough part about being a mom…I very rarely drink when not preggo and never when I am preggo but a couple years back I had the urge and went and got a cold frosty Mexican beer and mmmmm…then when I opened my eyes my 5 year old (T at the time) was staring at me very disapprovingly…. lol, nipped my beer in half… I envy your sore muscles! Yours are from awesome working out and you get that amazing rush with it…mine right now are just from stretching. I’v always maintained good abs but when I get prego stretching those out is tough! Can't wait for January

Alin- ooooooo, fx’d for ya this week! When are you going to test?

AFM- gonna go out and sort junk for a bit more before it gets tooooo hot. Then I’ll work indoors washing baby clothes, I went and got the right detergent for that yesterday, so got my indoor work already cut out for me

You can have it, I have the heat on and am in my PJs to keep warm! It is also raining here now too. Probably closer to the high 50s now. To me that is COLD!

As for the man, yes I do believe he is tall dark and handsome. He is of Spanish descent, but has reddish brown hair (like me) and blue eyes. So maybe not totally dark, but still nice! I wasn't sure it would go anywhere since I had only just met him before I came up here, but we have maintained contact, and are both excited for my return. That is one more reason why this month seems to be dragging so much! I'm not even in the 2WW and I'm going bonkers! LOL!

Sounds like you have a great plan for the day, just take it easy!!!

Ali- Ohh, I want your weather so bad! Upper 50's, rain, cold, Ahhhh Right now my thermometer is reading 105 but I am thinking that cannot be correct I am getting ready to go out for the last hour and a half but always end up doing something for someone! Aaargh! Lol, "mama, I'm hungry" "can you go turn that water off for me?" "where's my jeans mom?" "can you help me wash my hair mom?" Anyways, out I go now, they are stuffed up of fruit and milk so I should be good for an hour or so! Then I plan on a cool shower and ice cream ahhh...

Nice, I am glad you have someone to look forward to when you get back to FL! But nice too that you have such a supportive family in Canada. Got my fx'd you get your bfp this month and not quads! All at once though, can't beat that!

I don't mind the cooler weather, I just don't like sitting at a desk when it is cold. I get a chill, and that isn't any fun!

NO! No quads! I think I would lose my mind. The babies and the doggies would out number me 6 to 1! Those are not great odds. LOL. Right now I just want my follicles to get bigger so we can do the IUIs! It seems like they have been growing for weeks!

 

[divee]

hi ladies.. just want to drop by to say hello. I've been reading your threads and it inspires me a lot.
Been feeling crampy today, bad mood.. just checking this site to lighten up my mood.

 

[AngelSerenity]

Evening Divee, to the feeling blue. I hope it passes quickly.

Hi everybody else, I've loads of catching up to do so please excuse my ignorance if I post something silly .

Ali.... I take it from my quick reading all is in place for this month after another mammoth organisational task?

Alin....not long to test now mrs, fingers crossed for you . Hope this is your month.

Coy... sorry the heat is still mad at your side, it's only about 20oC here (sorry I dont know what that is in farenheit lol). Pleasant, but this is probably our 5 days of summer here so I'm lapping it up while it lasts. That sounds so mad looking at temps in the states . Hope you're feeling well?

Jess.... Yeah to the charting, boo to the AF, but yeah to some progress with the docs and getting the ball rolling for testing. Hope you have a fab weekend.

TerriLou, Kelly and everybody else, hiya if you've been on. Kelly, how are you feeling?

AFM... back from the Olympics, fabulous time at the gymnastics finals seeing the GB team secure 3 medals. Our work is on a high (although I must admit I'm ready for a new role). Plenty of managed even in a house of teenagers and my CBFM showed a peak on Monday so also had some nooky then . In these past 2 cycles I am getting a low temp 2 days in a row so I had a bit more yesterday evening just in case although my temp did start to rise yesterday. I think I ovulated on Tuesday evening to be honest as I had some cramps but I couldn't get DH interested (he's worn out the poor pet) so I'm just hoping those were hanging in there waiting to pounce from the day before . I'll know tomorrow if I'm officially in the TWW and the begins.

I also got my appointment through for the RMC specialist which will be on the 6th September so something is starting to progress that way which will hopefully end in some medical answers and help (I'm praying).

Now I'm off to catch up some more on the last few days on here xoxo

K, so I was sitting here doing my school assignment and a fuzz kept blowing in from the fan and tickling my nose. So I would bat it away. Finally, I noticed the annoying fuzz on my shoulder and batted it off. The fan blew it onto my lap....where I belatedly noticed it was a spider happily swinging on his web LOL! Eeeek!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Good morning ladies, (it's night still but I'm getting a jump start on ya'll! ) They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I am going to have some fun and sum my day up with pictures

Morning ladies, well I'm officially in the 2WW . I'm really going to try and forget about things this cycle so I may not be on as much in my attempt to de-stress . I got my hopes up too much last cycle and symptom spotted like crazy so I'm going to try and chill a bit more this month. What will be and all that, it is only my second cycle TTC after my 5th MC and as much as I want to be positive it is difficult. Anyways, we did get plenty of in but possibly not on the day of ovulation as my DH was knackered bless him . So I'm just hoping those were waiting to pounce from the nooky the day before.

Have a good day all!

xoxo

Angel, I understand. Last month I was symptom spotting so much I had myself convince I was preggo. This month I'm going to try not to do that. Don't know how well I will do, but I will try. Right now I'm still waiting on the big O .

That is too cute! Busy day for you as well!

Morning everyone, I'm on CD14 I think? Still waiting for my follicles to develop. Will be going in for my scan and bloodwork tomorrow morning at 9. I really hope that they look good, and I can do the trigger and get the show on the road. I did take an OPK yesterday and didn't see any surge. However I did find some creamy CM, which I think is a precursor to EWCM? So maybe I'm getting closer, YAY!

Another cold, rainy, windy day here. So cold we had a fire in the fireplace last night. Probably will do so again tonight too! I even put the heat on, so I wasn't freezing.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Ali- CD14 Getting there! How much longer will you be in Cnada? I am guessing you'll be driving during your TWW...hopefully all the storming is gone by time you get home. Are you homesick for FL? I guess we are all wondering if you'l be wanting to move back to Canada. I bet that FL sunshine is looking pretty good to you right now Oh- will they do another US to check your ovaries before IUI?

ahhh I wish I had that cool weather! But I want cool, not freezing yet Still have tons of work on the outdoors to get accomplished, not to mentioned getting in about 6 cords of wood for our wood burning stive this winter. We have gas heat but prefer the fireplace. I did tell dh that when our wood-guy brigs wood this year that I will NOT accept these behemoth sized blocks...I mean, seriosly. Last two years he brought wood blocks that were so huge it took dh and I both to roll themover to the log splitter, then had to use tool to get them lifted up. Usually took about 1/2 hour to get one block split! I told him I am not doing that during, before, or after labor- when babes is here and needing me every 15 minutes! Dh doesn't want to mess with it either. So since we're paying for it, we want it split Wonderful time saver!

Twotogo- take some time to de-stress! That's so important, and something we women forget- or flatly refuse- to do

Jess- where are ya lady?

Angel-

AFM- almost done witht he junk from the garage! Notice I say "from". This is just the stuff I drug out, the worst of it, to sort through Anyway, then I move to the inside of the garage....Once it gets hot today I'll nail a closet somewhere...I did about 4 loads of laundry last noght, now I gotta find space for it! Doing baby clothes today.

Coy - yep we'll do an ultrasound tomorrow morning with blood work. Depending on what they see, we'll either do the trigger and IUI, or maybe just the trigger, or maybe just wait another day or 2. My CM is now creamy, which is the step before egg white CM, so I think we are getting close, but it could still be a few days. They won't trigger unless the follicles are 18mm, and they were only 10mm on Wednesday. Grow follies grow!

You guys would split your wood? OMG, that is wild. Nope you shouldn't be doing that pregnant or with a newborn! No way! We have them deliver the wood already split, and even then it is a job to pile it nicely. My brother will have to go out in the rain to get wood when he wakes up. Yes it is afternoon and he is still sleeping. UGH.

I have my PM interview in just over an hour. I'm so nervous! I really wasn't expecting it to happen this quickly. The PM (project management) position is a step up in our company, and would come with a raise I hope! Anyway, I'm excited and super nervous right now! I want the position soooooo badly. Between the interviews and my TTC stuff, I am pretty overwhelmed at the moment. I wish I could take something to help me relax, but that would be horrible for the TTC, and probably make me too relaxed for the interview. Don't need them thinking I was on drugs!

I'm sure you will find a place for babes clothes, where will she be sleeping? In your room I suppose, what about a changing table? Do you have room under there? Or a small dresser? I have a perfect dresser up here, its so cute, in fact I think it was my baby dresser when I was little.

Oh, if things couldn't get more annoying, it is miserable outside, and I have a headache from hell!
