[twotogo]

Hi ladies back from 3 weeks in france,kids settled back in school and hubby back on nights at work,had a fab time loads of bding but didnt temp or anything just went with the flow am 2 days late on cd 27,and if ov as normal 13 dpo but still getting bfn and feeling down,thinking about making drs appointment to see how egg reserves are with my age but don't know if they test in the uk.

coy ~ sounds like will meet your baby girl very soon can't wait for pics

ali ~ so sorry u didnt get your bfp,fingers crossed for next time,enjoy your trip

babywhisperer ~ hope af stays away and contract negotiations goes to plan.

Yay! You're back! Glad you had a great trip.

Ali- I thought you were packed...well I'd say forget it, just buy all new stuff in Canada! LOL! Just make your flight girl and catch up on your en route!

Baby- tahnks! Yes, it is a tough dang road, I didn't enjoy the lawsuit but I know I was in the right. Didn't get what I wanted (size wise) but life doesn't always offer it that way. And often when we think we are getting a small bargai it ends up being a great deal! Hope your cold gets better, stress doesn't help things. I am trying to understand your job though- is it like a union type thing or...? I know you mentioned contract, etc, and I am assuming for job improvement. Anyway- I hope it works out for you! Go get some

That's a good attitude to have. You made the right decision and I know you were right too in what they did. It's amazing this stuff still happens everyday.

Afm, cold seems worse in the am and right before bed. It's more like sinus pressure mostly. I also had some nausea this morning and heightened sense of smell...then again Penn Station and Grand Central Station don't exactly smell like flower shops and bakeries...gross. Cp is high and soft. Temp was .1 degree lower than yesterday. Limbo everybody! I have a question for cm, there isn't much when I use the loo, it's what I take notice of when I check cp . Is that right? If I am a 28dc this month af could come Sunday so maybe testing on Saturday isn't a good idea. Bbs still not sore so feeling out.

As for my job, I am in fixed income sales and trading. If you ever have trouble sleeping I could give you details I work on a trading desk selling and buying fixed income (bonds) to and from portfolio managers for mutual funds, hedge funds, insurance companies...I used to manage money on a mutual fund desk and was a portfolio manager for individuals, but then the world blew up in 2008. That wasn't fun.

Sleep was awful, dh worked until 2 then came home and watched the debate...he woke me up a few times. Grrrr

How are you feeling Coy? Ali you all set for your trip?

 

[twotogo]

Um, so okay.... FF just changed my O date. So why would it change the date after all this time?

OMG!! Your temps look great too! Have you tested? and why not??

I took an Equate +- test yesterday. At first it looked like it was going to turn into a pos BFP at the three minute mark, but then it disappeared. But the negative mark also disappeared after a while. I'll go ahead and post a really horrible picture of what was at the 10 minute mark. The pic is so bad you can't really see anything because it is so fuzzy. I think it may have just been a bad test. I think I will test on Saturday with a FRER.

 

[alin3boys]

go test lol

 

[twotogo]

go test lol

Maybe I'll break down and test tomorrow.

 

[twotogo]

So, we are supposed to get snow tomorrow and Saturday. Don't think I'm quite ready for that...
Right now I need to get outside to the garden and get all of my green tomatoes inside to try to ripen them. Grrrr! This year my garden has just been a complete flop.

Bonsoir, I don't speak French, but felt inspired and jealous of 3 weeks in France!!! Where did you go? What did you do? Omg I'd need Betty Ford after that trip with all the yummy wine they have...and cheese, my nemesis.

Good to have you back!

 

[alicatt]

I'm with you on the Betty Ford trip! We could be roommates! I have a love affair with wine . I think one of my favorite trips was to Napa/Sonoma! So much wine, so little time!

All packed and at work now, will head out of here between 12 and 12:30 for the airport. Then flight leaves at 2:50, arrive in Toronto at 5:50, customs, rental car, etc, then drive, should be at my destination by 9pm. Hoping my Mom has wine do you see the theme here?

TwoToGo - any news about the interview? Good luck with testing, your chart looks promising. What was the original O day?

Alin!!! Welcome back! YAY! Sounds like you had a wonderful time, please tell us more

Baby - sorry you are feeling so yucky. I am a big baby and hate being sick. I hope you are drinking lots of fluids, and warm drinks, and mucinex! That stuff is great at getting the crud out of your head. Hopefully you can relax this weekend, and get some rest so you can get better.

Coy? News? How's babes? Maybe she will come on my B-day after all? She has to wait until Monday!!

No chance of rest. We have a bday get together at 9pm tonight. 9pm!! Who does that on a school night? Oh that's right, a guy who owns a bunch of Dunkin Donuts and just sits back and collects $$, grrrrrr. And Saturday we are going up to West Point for the Army v. BC game. I really hope af stays away at least for that...tailgating w/ the witch would be a nightmare.

I'm sure your mom will have wine. That's a long trip, you better sleep on the plane. head isn't so bad actually...feels more like a nuisance...it hasn't gone full blown which is weird. Head colds usually go right to my lungs.

Yep, turns into a long day of travelling. I hope I can get some rest on the plane, or hopefully they have a decent movie to show! The flight is 3 hours, which is just long enough. I don't dislike flying, but its not my favorite thing to do either, iykwim!

Bummer, no rest for the wicked this weekend! I think maybe you should duck out of the B-Day thing tonight, let your DH go on his own, you need your rest of the cold will end up in your chest and then it will be way worse!
I love the NyQuil and DayQuil products for when I have a cold, they are great during the day (keep my head feeling clear) and awesome at night so I can sleep! You have to get the NyQuil from behind the counter though, its the good stuff!! Get better!

Thanks, but going to try and do this meds-free just in case. I keep cramping and running to the bathroom and nothing. I look all the while saying "No No No please no af". Hubs is crossing his fingers for a bfp and keeps asking me to test, but af could come anytime from now-Sunday. I hate testing then getting af the next day.

I think your trip is perfectly timed for you. Get back to the comforts of home and family. You will be recharged when you get back.

OH YA! Totally need to be med-free. Silly me. My brain is working at about 50% as it normally does. I just caught a stupid bug in my code, something I should have caught days ago. This vacation is definitely needed. I need to recharge, and get back to my normal self. Can't wait to just sleep under my duvet and be all cozy!

Yes, I totally understand the testing and AF thing. Sometimes I find that if I test and find out that it's neg, then AF comes sooner? Then I can just get over it. I think its something to do with the testing, getting the and relaxing that allows it to come. Otherwise you keep stressing and it delays AF. Course we really want to see the So maybe that is what you will see instead!!! I have heard that some women get sick when they are first pregnant. It is due to the lowered immune system from implanting. The hormones that you produce right at the beginning of implantation are meant to lower your immune system so you won't fight the embryo (good) but it also means you are less able to fight off bugs! So being sick might actually be a GREAT sign!

BabyWhisperer- after Ovulation your cm gets sticky and dry and goes away. You can start getting cm again even if you get a bfp though, but not necessarily a ton of it- each woman is different. I think cm is most useful in determining fertility periods! Oh btw- Ali mentioned taking Mucinex for head colds...not sure if I mentioned it or if you were taking it before but it's great for pre-ov thinning your cm!

Alin- glad to have you back! And I have my fx'd for you also, sometimes the relaxation is just what you needed!

TwoToGo- I am not sure on why FF changed your dates unless maybe it thought the dip on 6dpo was an implantation dip? What dpo did you think you were on before they changed it? Your temp looks beautiful btw, got my fx'd for ya!! And why wait til Saturday? LOL! Thursday is an awesome day for testing! lol Btw- I live in Idaho and we are supposed to get snow and freezing temps also Nnnnoooooo! I don't want it yet!

Ali- If you didn't have to drive upon landing I'd say get that wine en route! Hope you get some seriously needed rest and relaxation in Canada! Take pics! Be safe, drive careful- the bit! Don't forget us

Jess- How are ya lady??

Originally my O date was CD 13, then on 4 DPO they changed it to CD 14, now today they are changing it back to CD 13. Who knows. I may test tomorrow. Part of me is afraid to because I feel like it'll just be a BFN. I get so tired of seeing BFN's....

Just came in from the garden. My kiddos helped me completely clear the garden, so that job is done. Unfortunately, my hands were numb and I was using scissors to cut into my tomato plants, and I sliced deep into one of my fingers instead. Ouch! So sad.... now I can't do dishes.

Well, I had best get back to preparing lunch. I'm making grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches, fried in bacon grease. Yummy, but probably not very healthy.

 

[alin3boys]

Thanks for the welcome back,we went to argeles sur mer,south of france and also couple of days in spain,didn't do much just relaxing spending time with hubby and kids couple of tipsy nights lol.

I don't like wine im a baileys girl lol,and cheese gives me headache,im hoping been relaxed has done the trick was feeling deflated earlier but each day that goes by with no af i feel more hopefull.

I just broke down and tested b/c I was feeling so strange like queasy meets nausea meets on the edge of puking, like that feeling when your mouth starts to water...and BFN with a FRER. I felt like this back in Aug, but that was serious waves of nausea like being on a boat and getting motion sick. At 10dpo a bfn...I will assume af will just be late and what I'm feling is just a drop in hormones.

Hey ladies, guess what? I got me a smiley face!!!!!
Grrrrrrrr, I'm out tonight, but I've warned Hubby to be ready when I get home.
