Good morning ladies :)

We had our new heating system put in yesterday, and the A/C will be done in the Spring. I spent a lot of time keeping my feet up, not as much swelling anymore. I'm wearing the stockings again while I'm here, they seemed to really help when I had them on Fri. We'll see how it goes...

Happy New Year's Eve :)

I'm hoping for another short work day like Christmas Eve, maybe shorter ;)

I'll come back to catch up again...

Dying to see how your test comes out today Simone!

Love and ((HUGS)) to you all ♥

Isra: That's right, they're NOT good, and of course being New Year's Eve our tradition is Chinese food :P ;) No MSG where we go and I'll be careful with the sodium. Unfortunately the Tylenol doesn't really help for long, and I'm trying not to overdose myself. I've been doing a lot of lying down which helps, hopefully I can do that again tomorrow :) No more Metformin huh, it may be the best thing for you. You shouldn't be so uncomfortable like this :( Hmm, FF moved your O date again? Seems more accurate at CD16 as opposed to 8 though. Your temps are certainly looking much higher now :)

Amber: Oh no, you poor thing, you've been through so much with dehydration, problems with your Diabetes and now an ear /sinusinfection :( Don't worry about cleaning and groceries hun, concentrate on getting yourself better. I'm sure your hubby can take care of those for you ((BIG HUGS)) ♥

Hi Teri :) How cool that your having your C-section on the day Christine and I are due :) Maternity panties allow more stretch in your belly, depending on if you get full coverage or under belly. I had both kinds and the underbelly one's were much more comfortable. I got a sheer nursing bra with the little tabs to open up. It WAS very difficult finding a comfortable one with the support I needed. You'll need to try them out to see which one will suit you best.

Oops, I hogged this page ;)

Simone: Oh no :( But, it didn't drop too much, weird your symptoms went away though (?) I say wait a couple days and test again if AF still isn't here. Hang in there hun ((HUGS)) ♥

Amber - Glad you enjoyed your visit. :)  Ugh, sorry you had to go to the hospital.  I had a similar incident when I was pregnant with DS (for different, but similar, reasons), not fun.  But, I got what I wanted: an IV.  I had been asking for one all day, even before we went, because it would get stuff in me without my having to eat it, LOL.  Hope your antibiotics do the trick!  Give yourself time to rest, anything that's not urgent can be done by someone else (DH?  mom?).

Teri - Wow, congrats!  I have no idea about the panties, I just wore a size bigger of the cheapie brand that I usually buy (they're cotton, but cheapie).  Maybe go to a store that has a person who can help size and fit you?  When I was in Toronto, the Sears usually had someone, and they also had decent prices.

Tara - Yeah, I bet.  It's good that you got 8, though, especially after the trouble they gave you last time.  And, it comes to one a month for the first 8 months, not too bad.  I am not sure when AF is really supposed to show, but I guess temping will tell me - I just realized (yeah, just, silly me) I don't have to be worried about AF, ever, unless my temp drops. Your chart is looking great!  Keep those temps up! :D 

Simone - Ooh, when I saw your first post, I got really excited.  I hope you still get that BFP.  You are 12DPO, maybe it's implantation dip?  Your temp is still pretty high, and if ti's implantation, that would explain the BFN.

Nicole - Glad you got your heating system! Good, those stockings are helping.  I hope you manage to rest up a bit, that little bean is too precious to risk overtaxing yourself.  There should be Chinese food without MSG - I'm I was allergic to MSG, so I know Chinese can be difficult, but we've found a couple restaurants over the years that didn't use it.  Sodium might be more of a problem, though.  Good luck!  I hear you on the Tylenol not being strong enough.  Maybe your DH can give you a neck massage?  Or you can try to do self-accupressure?  Right, my temps are higher, but I'm not sure why it looks triphasic if the first two "phases" were pre-O.  Hehe, we don't mind that you hogged the page.  And, I hogged a lot of the page 30.

AFM - Sneezing and stuffed up.  Not much else.  I finally realized that I only ever have to worry about AF if my temperatures drop.  Well, duh.  I feel stupid. :D
