Nicole: I bet this wait is longer then any 2ww from before. No still no sign of af. Although Ive had one of my hormone headaches off and on since yesterday. So I wouldn't be surprised if she showed up, although she doesn't usually take this long to show up once the headaches start and those are weird as well usually they start off mild and gradually grow so intense I have take something, but they stay super mild and manageable and then go away then come back a little. So confused. 


Simone: ugh, I have allergies to. And to most of those things you listed (cats, dogs, dust mites, mold, and grass). They can make life miserable until you can eliminate them from your life. Which isn't always easy. 


Brie: oh yes the wanting to get things done but just no energy to accomplish. Just make sure to not overdue it that stuff will still be there and don't be afraid to ask for help. You eventually start getting strength and energy back. After I had Kale I had a heck of a time. I had no energy even the thought of getting up to go to the bathroom was overwhelming. My back was killing me and i kept uncontrollably shacking, and was beyond emotional. Turns out I had a really bad uterus infection and seriosly dehydrated. I ended up back in the hospital for hydration and antibiotics. But man was life so much better when i got home. So the lesson is listen to your body. 


Alix: I've had weeks where I was sure I wasn't going to have a liver after all the meds I was taking. And especially when the meds hardly phase the headache, but you still take just by chance that round will help. I feel for you and hope they go away in time for you to get your bfp this week. 


Amber: Relaxing and just going with it is the best.  Just try and stick with that laid back attitude all the way through the 2ww. 


Tara: Maybe you had it on here and I missed it. Are you for sure doing the IUI and if so when does that take place? Is this your first time doing IUI.  I hope this works for you. 


Afm: as I stated before still in the waiting game. Im at day 30 of this cycle. Although I just have this feeling she will start today. With the headaches and cramping I've been feeling. I've already been trying to get in the mind set of next months ttc plan. I think I'm going to go back to finding out what my o would be with a 25,29,32, and 35 day cycle would be and bd every other day for those two weeks and maybe every day for the 27-30 day cycle ovulation possibility days. Im giving up on basing it on cm, mine is confusing. Still not trying to give up on this month, just not getting my hopes to high. 


 its funny everybody keeps talking about next summers camping plans. Which I'm usually in charge of making. I just listen and say ok. Knowing in the back of my mind that if I'm pg I'll be due in the beginning of July and I won't be making any plans for next summer. I probably won't be going anywhere. I guess they'll have to figure something else out.

Haley: I know, and it's really only a 1WW now, but it feels like 2 :P I was happy to find out that the countdown starts at the retrieval date and not the transfer ;) Makes sense because it's really O day. Those are confusing headaches, not very consistent and kind of off pattern (?) I forgot if I or someone else asked you already, do you use fertility friend? It's such a great tool to keep track of your cycles including their lengths. Once you establish a few cycles on it (if they're regular of course) there's usually a calculation of what your luteal phase should be so you can have an idea of O day and when AF is expected. They're already talking about next summer?! Boy, we need to get through the Holidays and winter first he he ;)

Lisa - Welcome back!  Wow, Arietta is getting big!


Nicole -  Yay, PUPO!  Stick, babies, stick!  This is so exciting, can't wait to hear your HCG levels!  Hopefully they will both stick and you will end up with twins (if you need help after they're born, call me and I'll be right over, okay? :P). You totally deserve 2 after all this effort. :)  You guys are planning on keeping the rest for future use, right?  How are you feeling?  I haven't been temping (going to start next month unless we get a BFP), so I don't know how useful it is, but here's my chart.  I actually signed up back in August, when you recommended it, but I haven't done anything on the site till now.


Simone - Glad you got some BD'ing yesterday - hopefully it was in time.  I know what you mean about hating cleaning. :)  Hope your IL's visit goes well.  Cute pictures, thanks!  Ooh, your husband is allergic to you.  Hmm, I wonder how he can make sure you don't irritate him..


Tara - Yeah, we're glad your mom kept you, too. ;)  That's what I thought, too, but I haven't BF'ed in six months, and I was getting AF for six months before I stopped BF'ing. Hm, the IUI doesn't sound too bad, but the costs sure add up.  Your insurance won't cover any of it?  Let's hope the IUI works for you this month.  It's good that Dr. B. is so supportive.  KMFC for the trigger next week!  


Alix - Hm, never thought of using tea tree oil for migraines, but I should try that, because it would probably help.   I don't think it's early to test - your last AF was over a month ago, and you've probably got high enough HCG.  It could be that you're one of those who never gets a BFP even when you're pregnant - it happens sometimes.  A doctor should be able to tell you for sure.  Make that appointment!  Feel better!

Amber - If you are O'ing before CD10, talk to your doctor.  Hopefully it will not be positive before CD13.


Brie - You just rest up and get 11 hours of sleep out of every 24. :)  No dancing, okay?  The easier you take it now, the faster your recovery will be.  I know what you mean, feeling like it'll never get done.  Get a friend or relative to help out, and make your DH do the stuff you can't do. :)  Make sure you drink a lot and  get an extra 500 calories a day so Layla doesn't sap too much strength.


Haley - I know what you mean about CM being confusing.  It sounds weird, but when DH happened to be standing near me, I asked him, and he really helped me out.  Somehow he can differentiate between the types when I can't.  Maybe because he's seen less of it - to me it all looks nearly identical.  Hopefully AF won't show for you this month.


AFM - I thought I had creamy CM yesterday, then it looked more watery and then towards evening like EW.  I have no idea what that means, I just wrote EW on FF because that's what they say to do.  And today I wrote watery, but the truth is I can't tell the difference between what's his and what's mine.  It was kind of stretchy, but not too much.  Sigh.  I didn't do an OPK today because anyways it was already night when I could have done it (and I've been doing early afternoon the whole week).  Maybe I should - CD16+14=30, which is a regular cycle, right?  And maybe I'm not O'ing at all.  FF hasn't given my CH yet, is that because I'm not temping?

No I've never tried any of those fertility web sites I've always had an irregular cycle. a year ago it looked like it was getting more regular. Always between 27-29 days I know that doesn't seem regular to most but for me it was good.  I was excited because I thought oh that's going to make getting pg this time around so much easier then with kale. But then last month was 27, the month before that was 25 and the month before that was 39, the longest it has ever been.  


I don't usually make our reservations till January, campgrounds around here fill up fast. Plus we have so many we have to make sure everyone can get the time off. But the topic came up early this year because Last summer when i planned our one camping trip it was right during a big antique show. My parents were supposed to take my aunt and uncle to it to help sell at their booth, but our trip screwed up the plan. So my Aunt was making sure that i knew the dates of next years and planned accordingly. Bad thing is if im pg my edd would be July 11th and their show is July 15th and i went a week over with Kale. Plus i have a feeling if ive just had a baby or awaiting a baby my mom will not leave town. So we shall see if im in the dog house again. We don't celebrate the holidays so that doesn't consume a lot of our time. We just enjoy all the sales. :)

Isramom: yeah my cm never seems to change consistency but then again I'm really just going by what I see on the toilet paper. The only thing that real changes is the amount that is there. but what I notice is i'll have a little one day then a lot more the next day and then back to a little on the third day and gone by fourth. Which is when i assumed i O'd. Then a few days later or week later I may have a little more for a day or two and then gone again pretty much is like that the whole month long. Like this morning I had a little cm.  Plus a couple weeks ago I noticed after I worked out I had a lot of cm. So confused. That's why I think I'm giving up on that method. That's is if af shows and I move on to another month of ttc.

Wow, a lot of action on here today!


Haley- No, we haven't done IUI before. It's very likely that we will do our first IUI next week or so. DH and I planned that we would. Now we just have to wait for my body to be ready! That is so difficult trying to plan stuff when you know it's a possibility of being PG or having a newborn. I was in a lot of weddings the last two years we've been trying and I always kept thinking....geez, I might not be able to fit into that dress. Even ski vacations or camping trips have been hard to plan, too. One of the camping trips we went on this Summer I had to bring my injection in our cooler. Hoping that you get PG now, so you'll know what needs to happen for your family events in July! 


Brie- If you keep bleeding or your bleeding has increased you should follow up with your doctor to make sure you don't have any retained placenta. Your bleeding is suppose to get lighter and lighter not heavier. It should also go from red to pink to whitish. I hope that this new plan of ours works for us like it did for your friend. This month would be fantastic!


Nicole- Wow, only one week till the first test!! I can barely believe it's gone as fast as it has. Seems like the transfer was yesterday. 


Isramom- I hope you have success with Oing. Keep us posted if you get a consult with an OBGYN. 


Simone- I'd get your bases covered and get in the BDing with that EWCM. You never know...It's hard to tell from a chart until it's obvious that you O'd which should take a few more days of your temps staying up.

Hello ladies...I don't have a lot of time to reply to everyone right now. We have to run to the store to get dog food. They ran out last night. But Af showed up yesterday. She's being brutal this go-round. I guess we will try again next month.


Have a wonderful Sunday. I will be on later to reply to everyone!
