Relaxing and ttcing = awesome

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I am pooped after the party yesterday. Will write more tomorrow. Have a wonderful night!

 

[never_give_up]

And today I cut wood in a snow storm- yesterday we got at least 12-13 inches! And windy today too. I want to write more ( I am feeling chatty) but Aeryn is yelling at me

Coy you are supermom!!

 

[Samsfan]

COY. Thanks for looking at my chart.

Please dont go back to that supermarket. The guy sounds like a freak!
UOTE=Grey Eyes;25374041]Hi ladies!!

Sam- ooo looks like an Ov day coming up soon!

Ali- I second the "I'm freaking exhausted, I think the provera is causing me to be flat out exhausted. I am finding it hard to get my butt moving today" without the provera part I am tired too. I slept great tho! And last night dh sprung a full body massage on me I say "OK!" lol! Anyway, we had to wrestle medicine with Kata gain today, took all my Marine dh and I had! lol! Dang that girl is stubborn. And tough! Aaargh!

Anyway, tonight I am making Lemon Pepper Chicken, with rice and veggies. Currently on my second pot of Gevalia espresso!

Btw...dh doesn't always go w/me to the store...Yesterday I stopped at the small store where my tire got slashed. The same cashier (male) was there. When I got home dh found that they guy had placed a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner in with our food and he took the time to pop the child safety locked cap! What a jerk! His wife used to work for me...I didn't fire her but she took another job and I told her I could schedule around it. So she kinda got pi$$ed and quit. Wondering if he is my tire-poking culprit? Motive...[/QUOTE]

Hello samsfan I love the feeling of approaching ovulation and the new hope it brings!

Ali- So happy you miscalculated and that you WILL be able to do FET in March. So exciting!!

Coy I am enjoying reading your parenting journal!

My arms are killing me from fibro pain but I clicked wrong and lost the whole post I wrote. Too much pain to do it again. Will update later. Wishing all you ladies great day!

Where's that girl Jess?

Here I am! Spent a glorious 4 days celebrating my birthday. My BF and BFF made it incredible. LOTS of great food, dancing, shopping, and laughing.
I did get one gift I could have done without....yep, you guessed it. AF showed up. So I guess I have next month to look forward to. It seems that my LP is too short (about 9-10 days). I don't think that is good. I did some research and I read that progesterone cream helps. Any advice on which is the best to use?

I am open to opinions.

 

[never_give_up]

Hi Jess, sorry the showed up. If you look a few pages back you will see all our birthday posts to you!! The progesterone I am using is called Emerita pro-gest. You must have missed my post to you over a week ago but here is the link again:

Thanks for the birthday wishes!! I just saw them. Y'all are so sweet!

Chantal...I did miss your post. I will check out the link right now. After looking back, I had a teensy tiny bit of spotting 3 DPO. Then it started up again at 9 DPO and continued from there. I don't know what that is all about but I hope progesterone can help.

 

[never_give_up]

It should help Jess. You start taking the progesterone as soon as ovulation is confirmed. I often would start spotting at 9 or 10 dpo but 3 dpo is very early. So far this cycle I havent had any spotting. I ordered the progest from Amazon. They had the best price. Do you have heavy flow? You may want to talk to your gynocologist about the early spotting. When I had spotting 5 days before af was due turned out I had a fibroid.

Morning ladies!

Jess - you can also get progesterone from your OBGYN. They come in all sorts of forms, pills, suppositories, and shots in RX form. I would advocate for the pills or the suppositories. The shots are a pain in the ass, literally! Or you could go the cream route as Chantal suggests. Either route is helpful I'm sure, but if you have access to a Dr, and have low co-pays, it might be cheaper and more regulated if you go that route.

So happy you had a wonderful birthday weekend (well minus AF). I would have gladly taken her for you! I'm still waiting on mine. I think that now that I am on the provera I'm not going to get my period until I stop taking it. I still have 5 days to go So that puts CD 1 on Feb 18th, mock transfer would probably be about March 7-12th with AF due around March 18-20th, then real FET Apr 4-8th. ARGH I must have miscalculated before, my FET is going to be in April now. AHHHHH My due date is still in December, the official one would be December 22nd. Twins could be November 30th. So there is still hope! YAY!

I bought some shirataki noodles online yesterday, along with the wheat belly cookbook flours they recommend for making GF things. I think I'm going to focus on things like GF focaccia bread, pizza crust, and GF tortillas, having a sandwich bread and tortillas have been the hardest things for me to do without. I love making soft tacos, and having a sandwich for lunch is so easy. The flours they use are almond meal/flour, flax seed meal/flour and garbanzo bean flour. Combining them together you can make breads, cakes and all sorts of other things. I'm going to give it a try, and we'll see how it goes. So between the noodles, the 3 'bread' things, I should be able to eat pretty much everything I like!

The progesterone I am taking is natural and odorless and easy to rub on the skin. The suppositories from the doctor are medicine. They caused to be delayed by several days so will see with this one if I get the same issue. Fertility friend did say not to test before the 14th because the progesterone could lengthen my luteal phase.

Hi Ali! You so want your baby born in the year of the black snake lol
I hope you get your wish!

The Chinese 2013 horoscope shows us that this 2013 year of the black Snake is going to be an exciting year for many. There will of course be both ups and downs, and for some the ups will be quite high and the downs will be quite low. For everyone, there will be good and bad and highlights and lowlights.What the Chinese 2013 horoscope can show us is not exactly what will happen this 2013 year, but the types of emotions that each Chinese horoscope sign is likely to go through. Once you know what to expect, you can do a better job of preparing for each situation. For example, when the Rat knows that they’ll have an emotional 2013 year, then they can keep this in mind.

Hi ladies!!

Jess- hm, yes it sounds like a hormone issue. While breastfeeding my body is producing too little progesterone and my LP is consistantly short....in fact I think my last LP was 9 days? I was researching the same issue:

https://www.mothering.com/community/t/718929/short-luteal-phase-questions

So def check into getting progesterone. I used vaginal suppositories of natural progesterone as doc said it was more effective and the vag supps, um, get it closer to where it's needed

Coy...She is too cute!!!!

It is a bit warmer in Texas. 54 (F) ...and wet! Even though it is not -2, the sun isn't out and it is raining so I am skipping my run this afternoon. I can do cold, and I can do wet, but I CAN NOT do cold AND wet!

Interesting! So what is the year 1972? What is their forecast for 2013? Or is that the rat? I think that is me! Am I right?

I worry about the progesterone cream as it isn't going on to the part of your body that needs it. I have a friend that lost his mother to progesterone cream, she was older and using it after menopause. So it could have something to do with that. There was a big class action law suit about it I think. Hormonal supplements really should be monitored by your Dr, at least that is my opinion. The natural vaginal suppositories sound safest to me! Course what do I know? I'm putting estrogen and progesterone in my rear

Yes Ali you were born in the year of the rat. That was a generalized prediction for everyone in 2013 but here is the one for the rat:
