CD11, CBEFM High

Here again. High again.

Didn't so much work out with FD waking me up when he got home from work...apparently, I was Mrs. Grumpy Pants and wouldn't wake up. Mind you, I have NO memory of this!

FD counteracted grumpy FM by setting his internal alarm ...

CD10, CBEFM High

Well...here we are again. Welcome to this month's edition of HOW TO HAVE A BABY! (hahaha)

Got my first high this morning on the CBEFM...one CD later than last month. FD and I decided we'd try the whole going home at lunch thing (I work days M-F, he ...

What Are YOU Waiting to Do?

I'm curious to know what you other TTC women are waiting to do while you're out hunting for a sticky bean. It's so hard to plan sometimes, isn't it? Because, after all, you might have a new addition in 9 months...and then again, you might not. So ...

Baby Watch '08 Update

Add another to the list: another old friend. This makes five. It's getting harder to smile.

Hugs,

~FM~

I'm out. Dang it all.

Two clot-y things then a flow. I'm out. Officially my shortest cycle ever. EVER. Not kidding. In the entire time I've been old enough for this crap, I have never had such a short cycle. Ever. EVER.

Argh.

14 DPO...still nothing

Here we are at 14 DPO...and nothing to show!

Didn't even test this morning - aren't you proud of me? After two days with two BFNs, I just didn't have it in me to do again.

• Stopped spotting yesterday afternoon. Not a drop since.
• Still have ...

13 DPO and...nothing

I...tested again this morning. I shouldn't have. My temp dipped. Not as low as the dip at 9 DPO, but by almost a half degree versus yesterday. And I swore I'd only test today if my temp was AS HIGH as yesterday. But I woke up SWEATING! How could my ...

Two Poems

I found myself sharing our TTC story with one of my BIL's best friends tonight. Through the drama that has enveloped his life at times, FD and I have spent a lot of time trading stories with her to keep everything straight and see where we could ...

I Broke Down...

...and tested.

Well, after I found a dollar store that actually DOES have HPTs.

BFN.

DOH.

I knew it would be...even if this is my month, it still feels too early...AF isn't due for another 4-5 days. Am I nuts?!

Had more spotting tonight. Didn't ...

12 DPO...and more spotting

Well...I still have four days to go until when AF may show up but I have a bit more spotting this morning. I know, I know, there are various reasons for spotting. And in all honesty, I kind of had to go excavating to even spot the spotting. CM ...

11 DPO...Still Hopeful!

Good morning! LONG POST FOLLOWS!

I went to bed last night wildly un-hopeful and woke up this morning wildly hopeful. Ugh. I hate swings like that.

I had a *little* spotting last night. It was mixed with my CM, and so the combo of the yellowish CM ...

10 DPO...and Hopeful...

Ok...so I've cheated.

Kind of.

I P'dOAS.

Sort of.

I decided to try out the CBEFM test sticks as an alternative to an HPT. And ya know what I got?

Yeah. Nada. Left line = really dark. Right line = almost nonexistent.

But ya know what? I'm still ...

7DPO - Strength Needed

Ok, so in my normally addled brain, testing at 7 or 8 DPO seems logical, despite the fact that THOSE TESTS ARE ALWAYS, ALWAYS NEGATIVE. Notwithstanding the fact that I haven't had a positive test in 10 months, it's still too early. Either way. I ...

Houston, We Have Vitamins!

Yahoo - picked up my new prescription of prenatals at the grocery store this morning. This was a HUGE ordeal. I got the total run-around from my old pharmacy AND my doctor's office - different crap like my brand had been discontinued, rebranded, ...

4DPO...Still Sick but New Symptoms

I'm still sick, dang it. Missed my second day of work today. My massive headache morphed into an ear-and-sinus show. Not fun. I hate being sick.

Second morning of elevated temperatures. And for what I've logged in FF, both yesterday and today, I ...

3DPO...and Sick

Dang it, dang it, dang it. I'm sick, so I don't know if my BBT this morning was due to that or to an actual steep climb. I suspect it's sickness-related, because it only went higher after that and has been hovering at 100 all day. DANG IT.

Other ...

PEAK a boo!

We got our first peak on Sunday! Yahoo! (Ok, I feel like it's still Sunday, but since it's after midnight, ok, we'll go for it technically being Monday.)

I really can't believe I got a peak day so soon, quite honestly. FF has been claiming that I O ...

Ok, so amongst our circle of friends, we're up to four babies on the way for 2008. The first is our realtor, the second a childhood friend, the third an ex-boyfriend's wife, and the fourth FD's coworker's wife. First and third are expecting number ...
