either!
I am so happy that there are so many of us pregnant now 
How are you feeling?
YAY!
if I did.
So I left him to have is eye appointment, and off I went on a whirlwind shopping spree. I went to LuluLemon and bought 2 pairs of comfy pants, and then to Macy's where I was able to get 5 new shirts! Unfortunately I had to go up a size 
due to my giant boobs! LMAO 
Yes they have grown a whole size, maybe more. 
The tops fit my boobs, but there is plenty of room in the abdomen so as it grows I should be able to wear these shirts until maybe 4-5 months? 
maybe more? Plus the selection at the store down there was so much better than what I have up here in West Palm. I will have to go back! 
it was a perfect day! I think Vlad had a good day, and he enjoyed my friends. babies. I did another HPT last night, and it was only slightly darker than Saturday nights, but it is close to the control line dark, so I think we're good. I will do another one tonight and hope that it is darker. I know that being out in the sun could have made me more dehydrated, and I also did the test several hours later than the others I have been doing, so who knows it might not have been as concentrated. I'm not going to stress and will keep being 
about it! 
Grey Eyes.. can't wait for you to
JandK.. can't wait for you to
Chantal.. hope you are feeling awesome and ready for an awesome beta result tomorrow
BabyWhisperer.. where are you? hope you are feeling good and that MS is not too bad
Matin.. congrats on your
Angel.. loved the bump picture, and I'm glad that you are getting back to running, I think it will help with the stress. I always found that working out eased my stress level. I could pound out my stress on the bike treadmill, etc. Just don't overdo it!
Phil.. Your baby is absolutely beautiful, such a serene face, and delicate features. She fits her name.. Saria.
Melly.. how are you doing? Did you catch your OPK, I guess it will be time to test shortly
I hope I haven't missed anyone..
AFM.. This weekend has been a busy one! Friday night was our special dinner. It was a lot of fun, and we had a great meal. Then Saturday we went down to N. Miami to a huge mall called the Aventura mall. Vladimir needed to get 3 new pairs of glasses and he likes the store there, which is odd since it is a lensecrafters and they are a nation-wide store
After my whirlwind shopping spree, and Vlad's eye doctor appt, we headed to the Buy Buy Baby store to get all of his needs. We got a crib and mattress, stroller, pack and play, bottles, sterilizer, sheets, covers, bouncy thing, etc. We went to Babies R Us too, but it was depressing compared to the Buy Buy baby. We hit a Walmart which surprisingly didn't have much in the way of receiving blankets, or basic blankets and bath things. Which I figured would be a great place to go! We finished off the evening at a Cuban restaurant with his friends.
Yesterday was my friends BBQ/Pool party, and we had fireworks at the end! The fireworks were my fault. We were celebrating my
My cramps come and go, so does the CM, and I'm just being ZEN and positive about this little one. I pray nightly for all of us, and just hope that God is watching over us and our
Today is going to be a quiet day, laundry, and relaxation is on my agenda. My goal is to get all my laundry done and actually put away!
Only a few more weeks right? As for your cravings.. I think it is normal to crave meat in pregnancy. It is your body telling you that it needs iron! I had a friend that practically lived off Duffy's burgers. So eat what you crave, and feed that growing baby!
I am contemplating a nap right now! LOL! 
today!pretty please 
My breasts are tender but not hurting like they were on previous cycles. I think the maca powder and progesterone helped balance my homones and fix this problem. I had no pms or cramps last 
!
is that it could mean that the corpeus luteum doesn't produce enough progesterone. Natural progesterone will encourage implantation. Especially since you don't have a drop when is due. Some monts I had spotting but some months I didn't. I had been charting and ttcing for over 3 years since miscarriage and the first month I tried natural progesterone I got a bfp. Used it another cycle and another bfp. It can't be just coincidence. Coy had the same thing too! You can buy it on Amazon. The one I used is Emerita pro-gest. It is worth a try! Chantal- No spotting for me. I have a feeling that this one is here to stay. I feel it in my gut for you! It's a wonderful event and joyous. Can't wait for the first scan!
Sam your luteal phase is not too short. Your chart always looks good to me. If you were having spotting before
Yes you are right Sam, God is in control and I prayed to him that I didn't want to just get pregnant again. That I'd rather not get pregnant if it was going to be another loss. So it just has to be good this time!
I'm doing okay, still stunned, very nervous and watchful. sigh.
Yay! Fingers crossed for you Jandk!
Your iui was the 16th right?

I think Chantal is on to something. Your FS can give you a prescription if you want to try that. It comes in several forms.. suppositories, pill and shot. The non-RX stuff is different, and I think it comes in a cream. Since you are seeing a FS I'd start there and see if they recommend it. Usually that us part of the workup, determining if there is a LPD (luteal phase defect) which is common as we age. The symptom is spotting for a few days before AF comes, or having 12 days or less between ovulation and AF. So if either of these things are happening, then I would get some progesterone! My last BETA was 57, and it's supposed to double every 2-3 days. I'm hoping for over 200, but anything from 152-228 would be acceptable. Even higher would make me happy!
Time for work tomorrow. New outlook..... time to slow down and enjoy the summer.
