3_babies_at_41 - I'm glad I made you smile. I know I was. How are you doing today Punkin01 - I'm glad I did what I did I got to let out some stress and not hurt anyone. How are you doing today? Tell Auntie to mind her own d__n business but I am glad dh check mate her. Kristin72 - When is AF suppose to show up. I am still keeping my fingers cross for you and I can't wait for the update. Hang in there. Well girls I'm off to poas I got a faint positive yesterday so today should be darker I order some off the internet and according to their direction if the test line is light then it is negative but dh wasn't home last night anyway and I am fighting a cold but you all know I would have gave it up. Let me tell you all something my dh is so silly he called me not too long ago and ask me was I in the mood to make babies. I just started blushing I didn't know what to say. Well I will post in a few my daughter is getting ready to pick me up to go and get something to eat. Krissy68

hi clindholm, no I don't have erratic periods at all. However I had an odd cycle last month (it was short) 24 days. I was sick for my two other cycles with the flu so my temps were off. But I am usually 27-28 days. I am cd29 today. The bfp was last night and I would have been 11 dpo's yesterday. The line was faint but was there..I read it after about 2-3 mintues. The second line is still there today. My bbt elevated this morning by 3 degrees celsius. This is also not normal for af to be on it's way. Thanks Krissy for keeping your fingers crossed. I guess I will soon find out..or not. I still have no sign of af. Bye for now.

Hello ev'ry1. You know, I think if we all stopped trying so hard tc, we might get pregnant ---- what do you think? They say you always find things, when you're not looking for them; think that works for babies too? I've decided to stop ttc, because it's always a disappointment when you don't. If it happens, it will happen ---- less all the pressure of trying. At first, I was eager to ttc asap, but I think it would be best to give it some time. I read that it may not be best to ttc too soon after a m/c, because it could pose various other risks; including miscarrying again ---- if you get pregnant too soon after m/c. Kristin, if it doesn't happen for you now, don't get discouraged; there's always next time. Colleen, I am SOoooo glad that everything is alright; I am so happy! It's not that I enjoy so much practicing the bd, actually, my only (I'm sure not dh's) goal is ttc. No offense to dh, either way ---- I just could take it, or leave it. Perhaps my 1,2, & 3 yr old, have robbed me of my s_x drive! MY, OH MY!! OR, perhaps I have already reached my peak, girls --- OH MY, OH MY!! And to think that I thought I would be a s_x-kitten forever. Yes Krissy, I CERTAINLY (smile) know you would have given it up, had you been feeling better! For someone who bd's as much as you do, EVERY opportunity is a chance for you to G.I.U. :-) Punkin, so glad that you have a wonderful MALE doctor; he sounds really sweet. If I could find a doctor like him, I might be inclined to switch to the opposite s_x. What state do you live in? Is your doctor married? (smile --- just kidding). Talk to you all later. 3babies

Hey ladies! How are things? Bunny Im good thanks! I have 8 days off so its always good! Ha my pooter yesterday tried me a little, though! It was a chitty day...er.... It was warm so when I put him down for his nap I only had him in diapers...bad idea :) When he woke up and I went to get him, he had pulled the thing apart and the velcro was still around his waist, but the rest hung behind him and it was full of poop!! omg! His hands were covered and I picked him up and went straight to the tub and he was NOTTTT happy! When I put him down (mistake #2) to turn the water on he took off down the hall leaving a trail of poop on the carpet!!! But wait...thats not the worst of it! We have 2 cats and one of them dropped a fresh dingleberry (poop) when he exited the box and den... well pooter found it and was driving his car back and forth right through it!! It was all over his pants and under his nails...all over the carpet...OMG....it was NOT a pleasant experience, but at least Im pretty sure he didnt EAT any of it!! NOW I can laugh about it, but at the time it was not at ALL funny :) I think its a great idea to just let nature take its course! I work with a gal who went through all sorts of infertility treatment ttc for years...hormone shots all of that stuff...she had one chemical pregnancy and was so stressed out as time went by that they just decided to give up and stop trying...2 months later she was pregnant..now she has a sweet little girl who just turned 1 :) You hear about these things happening, but when you know one personally...its easier to believe :)********Colleen Ive thought about clomid, but would rather go the non drug way if possible and have heard good things about acupuncture...So I think Im going to give it a shot. Im pretty sure Im not O'ing though...my cycles have gotten LONG (42 days last time) and all of the pre-af stuff is vague...Ive been using the clearblue monitor too and again it just read "high" fertility without pinpointing an LH surge....so cross your fingers that it works! If after 2 or 3 months things havent regulated...Ill reconsider the clomid...or Ill give up the idea altogether :) Besides I just feel like...hmm...how to put it...well like my energy inside is all bound up and out of whack...does that make sense? I mean I FEEL okay, but ...thats the best way I can put it. AND CONGRATS on the good scan!! That is so exciting! :-D yay!! ********* Krissy that must have felt good doing that!!! That made me giggle :) POAS?? oh...duh.. :) I think I got it...pee on a stick?? How'd it come out? (fingers crossed) *******Punkin sounds like you have a gem doc :) I have to confess...I read part of the thread about your precious baby boy a while ago...I couldnt read very much because it was too painful and it wasnt even someone I knew let alone me!! I wanted to say something, but the only thing I seemed able to manage was a prayer. I admire your strength...cause I cant imagine anything that would require more strengh than that. I hope it was okay to say something...its just always in the back of my thoughts when I see you post. Seems since I had a child...my heart is even less able to take bad things happening to children of any age or stage. :) Always keeping fingers crossed for you. *******Snycks I felt more comfy with a woman ob as well and mine was so great...actually most of the group is really good and kind-hearted. Theres a younger partner that I saw ONE time on an office visit appt and to this day every time we cross paths she says hi and asks how things are going (I work in a hospital) That impresses me that she remembers. Nice gal she is...but so is my doc :) Acidity testing? v____al? What is the pH supposed to be do you know? (clueless here) :) *******Hi michelleodell Cute name! :) We feel just the same about our ds having a sibling...well one who isnt old enough to be his parent anyway :) plus I really, really, reallllly want a little girl too...Id name her Grace :) You have my vote. Try not to worry about milestones...all kids are different and eventually they all end up at the same place pretty much... :) ******** Kristin..hoping for a + blood result!! ****yikes I bet this is a huge post! Sorry...hope to keep more up to date now that Im off for a week! Take care everyone and have a wonderful holiday weekend! Julie

Girls I really need some help here. I started using the opk test strip that you buy off the internet and I guess they are working okay here it goes with my temp starting on cd 1 98.3 - cd 2 no temp - cd 3 98.66 cd 4 97.73 - cd 5 97.97 - cd 6 98.26 - cd 7 98.1 cd 8 97.78 cd 9 97.59 (according to FF I ovulated on this day) cd 10 98.19 opk was bfn - cd 11 97.78 opk was bfn cd 12 98.3 opk faint test line but the direction said that is still a bfn cd 13 98.71 opk faint test line again cd 14 (which is today) 98.3 opk was bfn I normally ovulated around cd 15-18 but it has been for the last 3 cycle cd 18 so I am a__suming it will be on the cd 18 again. Did I miss it again this cycle. Please help. Krissy68

Julie, I'm sorry about your "poop-problems" with pooter; however, it did give me a good laugh. :-) I remember when my ds was about a year old, when I walked in his bedroom, and saw c___p all over his crib, sheets, pajamas, hands & face (yikes!!!). In this instance, I believe my boy had eaten some of his poop; by it being "chocolate" (I know ---- too graphic) all around his mouth. All he could do is smile, and all I could do is take pictures; to show him what he put me through ---- when he grows up. Rolling his little car through the cat's dingo-berry (what a funny term for "c___p", and I can't believe I'm discussing this!)? That is hilarious! I think that little ds of yours, really likes poop. Perhaps you should change his name from "Pooter", to "Pooper". :-) Krissy, I'm sorry I'm not able to help you on the opk test strip; all those #'s really look quite confusing to me. I don't think I'd know how to read that, if I was promised a pregnancy; by giving someone an accurate explaination of all those #'s. Hope you get the answers you seek. Dusty babies to all! Bunny

Kristin72 - When are you going to test again? 3_babies_at_41 - I know what you mean about having s_x just for the ttc part and I felt like this also well yesterday we had a tornado and I just couldn't get into the mood plus everybody was up in my house I was trying before I had to go to work and we tried just didn't reach the end goal so I told him that is okay then when I got up this morning I wasn't really in the mood but my 3 year will be gone and my oldest and my granddaughter will be gone as well that only leaves the 17 and 13 year so I will try and get rid of them as well. Then maybe I will be in attack mode LOL. On a serious note I agree I'm not going to stress if it happens it happens I might have reach my end anyway and my baby making days are over. I will let you know how it goes at the dr on jun 3. pootersmum - I'm sorry your little man gave you a nice surprise after his nap. I'm glad that after you got everything cleaned up you were able to laugh, did you take any pictures to use against him when he gets older and have his first girlfriend you could use the pictures as blackmail LOL. You guessed right poas mean what you said, well today I am on cd 14 and i got a bfn but on cd 12 & 13 it was a faint test line and according to the instruction it was a bfn they both have to be the same color. According to Fertlity Friend it said i ovulated on cd 9 and that today I am 5dpo. I have been ovulating on or about cd 18 well at least for the last 3 cycles. I will keep you posted. I'm just hoping I didn't ovulated on cd 9 because I only bd on cd 10 and cd 13 but didn't reach the ending goal if you know what I mean. Krissy68

3_babies_at_41 - I thought that is your number was high then you were getting ready to ovulate and if they stayed high for 18 days then you were pg but if your numbers start dropping then AF is on the way. It is really all confusing. I will just keep poas and give update next week. Krissy68

Everybody have a happy and safe Memorial Day. I will not be back on the computer until Tuesday. I don't have internet at home yet but I will I think on the 28th. Love you girls, Krissy68

hello all....pooters mum that was so funny I know you didnt think so at the time.......well I am down today I couldnt stand it no longer and I tested last night...BFN I know it was at night instead of first morning and it was kinda soon......I GUESS???? Heck I really dont know I used to be regualr but the last 3 periods have not been and then the surgery was in March and that period was on time (2days after surgery)but VERY short and the next one was LATE .....like 5 days I was still under the dr's orders of "no relations until You see me back in 6 weeks" so I knew it was not a pregnancy......So I am not sure if the being late threw everything off ....If i "o'ed" or not .....when I should test .....I want to be pregnant so bad and I really thought if I tested last night it would show and Hubby and I had a great day together and it would have just topped off the day.... ya know!!!!!! ( I have been working overtime now for 4 weeks ( i normally work mon- fri but for 4 weeks I had fri day off and worked sat and sun which i s hubbys days off ) I am still working the overtime I just pitched a fit and changed to sat off and sun is 12 hour shift of overtime...I pitched a fit because the girl that works 1st has everning off with her hubby and she worked sat 1st and off sunday.....the girl that works 3rd had sat off and afternoons and evenings with hubby but I work 2nd shift and dont see hubby in afternoon and evenings.....(he works 1st) and then to not be able to spend sat OR sun with him was getting old.........Our boss said he cant MAKE us work over time if we work our 40 hours in a week then the OT is voluenteer.......so the way he sees it is if you are willing to come in to work then you should work what YOU want....so I told them I would do my m-f 2nd shift and would work 12 hrs on sun 7a-7p if that didnt work or they didnt need that time frame covered then oh well....THEY TOOK IT!!!!!!! so here i sit at 18.58 per hour!!!!!!!! sorry yall dont want to listen to me ramble......take care and have a great Memorial day......just FYI I may not be around to much this coming Fri.......I will be Joshua's first birthday and I have taken the day off work because my mind will not be where it needs to be that day.....trying to come up with something special to do for him Sugestions????? thought about going to cemetary and having a little cake and release balloons for him thanks ladies

oh yeah Pootersmum I dont mind talking about Joshua....some days its easier and some I cry when I talk about him but I will ALWAYS talk about him it keeps his memory alive........thanks for your prayers and kind words....I can say this is the hardest thing I have ever been through......I have heard people say that my husband are strong people to go through it and bounce back......they just dont see us behind closed doors...we cry we miss him but we know we have to go on for our daughter too.......some people dont want to mention his name and this hurts us or when we mention his name it makes their expression change and that makes us mad.....we dont mind anyone bringing up his name or talking about him.......a few family members has this belief that by us talking about him we are hurting ourselves and if we just forget we will not hurt and can mover on easier and that is not the case....he was real and he existed if only for a short time he is our son........a family member was over heard telling someone that hubby and I have only a daughter......this is not true!!!!!!! we have a daughter and a son.....one is an earth angel and the other is a angel in heaven , I also have a 17 year old son from a former marriage......so please feel free to ask/talk about him any time I also have a web site that I would love for you and the other ladies to visit about him w w w dot virtual-memorialsdotcom (as you know no spaces between the w's and . instead of dot........then put in first and last name Joshua Maddox .....(if this works I know sometimes you cant put in a web address) please sign his guest book and use the name from here so I know it was you thanks love yall Shana

(never had it before so not sure what it is) usually with my period I have BAD cramps and they start 1-2 days before and I usually have all of the symptoms a headache a day or so before and just ILL and plain BITCHY, bloated.....and my stomach usually tears up (if ya know what I mean) a day or 2 before.....but nothing this time ?????? I am so confused HELP??????

Hi Punkin, sorry to hear about that "no good" Aunt of yours; dh needs to put a temporary stop to her flow. Also wishing you & dh strength & comfort, to get through Joshua's upcoming b-day. The cake & balloon release at the cemetary, sound like a good, "healing" idea. Punkin, you know I love you honey; here is a hug ---- especially from me to you (((((MUCH LOVE & HUGS TO YOU!!))))). Take care of yourself, make little Joshua's birthday special, & I will say a prayer for you. Love, 3babies

Punkin01- I wish we all live close by you so we could be there for you in person. I am sending you a big hug. clindholm - okay i really don't know too much about temping either I just been taking it from cd 1 well I did start the opk test strip on cd 10 it was neg on cd 11 it was neg cd 12 & 13 I got a faint positive on the test line but the direction said it was neg and that would have been too early anyway cd 14 & 15 neg cd 16 faint positivie again but cd 17 it was a BFP today cd 18 it was neg again. Should I test for a few more days or let today be the last day for this cycle? Als I did bd on cd 13-15 and then cd 17 dh had to go to a funeral so he will be home tomorrow.Krissy68
