TRACY - so glad to hear that you are back at home. And Happy to hear that dr said everything now looks good. Glad you were able to post to let us know..
OK OK ladies. I admit it yet again of course ttc. Lynn we still have not gotten upstairs yet. My mother was her with my nephew and dh and I just ate dinner. I sure hope tonight is not a bust. Really you didn't do it cd 14 and 15.. How long were your cycles? So you have long layers in your hair now? That is me too. I have long outgrown layers now i need to go get my hair cut. I love having the layers in my hair that is the only way it looks half way decent. I have poker straight hair (but 2 bad it don't win me lots of money..lol). CC VENT AWAY. YOU know we are all ears!! Lori I am glad to hear you and dh are talking. That is positive and I sure hope you two will get away. Did you mention anything to him? or were you just not speaking boo too him?. JCR You sound like you are doing fine with your pregnancy. REmember I hate drs!!!. ANDREA, EMM how are you both doing? SHAUNA- How is that sexfest going? Dh and I got our own little fest going on here. hehehe. Hope you are well. If there is anyone I may have forgotten. I AM SORRY. But I am sure I will be back. I am not going to sleep until I get some from dh. Bellyrubs and Babydust!!

First of all, I looked for whoever complimented my son's name and I couldn't find it. I am in a slight hurry, supposed to be working until 10:00. Whoever it was, thanks. It is an Irish name. Chris' grandfather was born there. Anyway, JCR, we didn't name Kaelan until 2 days after he was born. We had the girl come back when she brought around the papers to fill out. Then we filled it out while she was standing there impatiently. Giving someone a name is a big deal. Chris and I were able to BD again last night. He is staying the night at his mother's house tongith, so we will have to miss tonight. Today is either cd15 or 16. I figure 3 days in a row, the one day prob won't mean anything to significant. I mean, my doc said to do it every other day in the first place. I think we may extend our BDing though because I haven't had any CM. I did have some pinching feeling though 2 nights ago. We may extend a few extra days just for good measure. Nothing else to report except that my son is addicted to movies. It is horrible. He wants Scooby Doo like 5 times a day with intermittent Chipmunk Adventure. It is really annoying. Okay, better get back to work. Check back in later.

Emm, I love your son's name too by the way. I have spent so much time reading trying to catch up on your posts, that now I am ready to go lay down again. I just have to tell you what I did. You are going to die. I creeped my husband out because one of my coochie lips is so swollen it looks crazy, so I took a picture of it with my cell phone and said look honey you have to see this! He looked at the picture and was like, what is that? When he realized it was my swollen coochie he got up and did the creepy dance. Just thought I'd share a little post op humor. And everytime I go missing now, he knows to look for me in the bathrrom. I spend at least 20 minutes peeing each time I go. I think it's because he had to remove endo from my bladder, so my bladder is a little sensitive right now. Well, gonna go take a pain pill and lay down. Talk to you later.

Good Morning Ladies. Just wanted to say hi. Nothing has changed since last night here. Dh and I bd'd but he and I kind of got tired..and I got some of his stuff. LOL. just hope it wasn't a bust... Anyone suggest next month should be every 2 days? i am tempted to get a ov kit and see but that would mean I have to drive but my knee is hurting pretty bad today. Air Supply in a few days.. Can't wait i had a dream last night that I was at pt naked.... Freaked me out and woke me up and dreamt air supply was cancelled. But none of that other dream which i am glad. Hope everyone is well this morning. waiting for everyone to check in. TRACY how you feeling this am?

D, my cycles for the last 7 months were 28 days exactly. I attribute that to the metformin i was prescribe in October 2005. prior to that unmedicated they were 35-52+ days long. anyway, when we did our sex fest in May...i was not TTC (wink..wink). all i did was mark the calendar after i got some BDing done. i did not pressure dh, i let him "run" the show. looking back at the calendar....i am not sure how we did it. we did NOT BD around when i was Oing. we did before and after. i can e-mail and share with you if you'd like.....just let me know. EMM, sounds like you and D are up to the same thing. like i was telling D...don't worry if you miss one day...you covered it by BDing before hand. i wish i could find this great website i came on about BDing for pregnancy. it was really good and talked about BDing before and after adn not during O. TRACY, part of the reason it takes so long to pee is when you were put under...my SIL said it temporary paralyzes your bladder. it takes a couple days and then it slowly gets back to normal. keep walking... get that gas out. LORI, when are you going on your bike trip? i wish we had an attic to store things in. we do not have that or a basement. southern homes...gotta love them. CC, how are you doing? any big plans this weekend? i would love to go lay on the beach and chill. JCR, how are you feeling. i have read and most books say you gain most of your weight in the 2nd trimester. i am hoping i only gain less than 20 pounds. well, off to clean some more. ugh.

Well since we are talking about weight, and I have a Taebo DVD coming in through Netflix to see if I will actually do it, I gained 40 pounds with my pregnancy. I didn't gain anything in the beginning. Only one pound in the first 5 months. The weight for me came at the end, same with most women I know. It's like every day you say to yourself doing good, not too much, and then somewhere along the lines you totally lose all control of your body. I actually gained 42 but lost 2 in the last month. Doc said there was no more room. I hope you are right about the BDing. One day isn't huge. It actually is a nice little break. I got tired of having to perform on the spot. Sometimes we need lubricant too which we haven't used any the last 3 days since it is TTC time. So, DH is complaining about being raw. I can't just make it happen, crap! Anyway, really slow day here. Chris is gone. I did some work, and I will probably log in throughout the day and do some more. Might as well make a little money on a boring day. We are still on the water ordinance so we won't be going outside...it seems like we haven't played outside in a month. I think it may have been longer than that. It is just too hot to go outside without playing in water. I need to do some housework actually. Prob do some today and leave the rest for Chris tomorrow. He is pretty good at it. My only issue is that if we are straightening up for company he does stupid stuff. Instead of doing necessary cleaning he starts doing things that no one would even notice. When we are just cleaning to be cleaning up some he doesn't do any of those things. Go figure.

LYNN- Thanks. It would be great if you are willing to share and I thank you. WELL as always dh is on his way out the door for yet another saturday (our only day off together cause sundays he has baseball and then we sleep all day or he runs out just like today) he is always gone on saturdays being the maintenance main (mil hse). It is just he is never home and I it is really starting to bother me. I can't go and drive anywhere cause of my knee yet. and plus our dog is starting to go into heat). yes i know she should be spaded but i had to wait until after the tumor and since my ex had her for 2 years he didn't get it done.. So she likes to rip off her diaper when i am not home. Since it is the beginning maybe I will just go out for a bit. I Am sorry ladies about all the venting but I am really on edge today..

EMM, it was me who loves your sons name. I knew it was Irish, I am about 75% Irish myself. I do really like it. Sounds like you and d are bd'ing like crazy and have taken over Shauna's sexfest! GL!! Lynn, you hair sounds cute, like mine, only mine is a little longer version right below my shoulders. You were brave to me, it sounds like you got a fair amount cut off. I had long hair my whole childhood, all the way until after I graduated high school..I mean long hair, to my lower back at times. Now, I just cant do it..A few inches below the shoulders and I get ancy and feel like its too long. Tracy, your entire post made me laugh! That is pretty damn funny! Im glad you have your humor back, and sounds like you are in good spirits. d, a naken pt dream huh? Are you still thinking about your eye candy?! lol. Im off to have breakfast w/ dh which is now basically turning into a brunch. We went out to dinner last night and I was so proud of myself..I had two grilled fish tacos and didnt eat the rice/beans. Needless to say, Im starved! Need to go pick up my refill of pre-natals at the pharmacy, and then I think we will beach it. Its really nice here today..I'll chk in w/ you all later, have a great afternoon!

CC...oh how i would love to just veg at the beach. i am jealous. i did get right much cut off. i think she said it was about 6"-8" in some spots. we laughed becuase it was a little over a year sonce i was there. she asked if i was going somewhere else. i said nope, just no time. i am going to try and go every 12 weeks so it does not get out of control again. D, i will e-mail what we did adn no i dont mind if it gets you pregnant, i am willing to advertise all over to share so we all can get a BFP. I will get my calendar and send it today. EMM, i was in the same boat as you with "performing" and being dry. i decided to try preseed and i have to tell you...it was GREAT. i believe jcr used it when she got pregnant (am i correct??) and i know tracy has used it before also. it comes in a tube but you only have to used a dime size and it is sooooo helpful. goggle it and you get tons of websites and they have sales. LORI, how is your saturday going? hope your having good luck in potty training. is Johnny running around nude? well, i did a little cleaning and then had to take a nap. dh woke up and was bitching about my mess in the livingroom. hmmm, give a guy a little BDing and he decides not to be nice again. i wish i could pay someone to go through all of this stuff. oh well...off for some more work. check in later

I like preseed. Try it. I'm going to watch a movie. Just woke up from a nap. Peace

Lynn, I wish you could come to the beach with me! It was so nice, we spent about 3 1/2 hours down there. OK-I need some advice from anyone who wants to offer it..I have 3 more days of bcp's before my af should come..Today I have begun spotting. Very light, but there. Yesterday I was told to count day 1 as spotting, call my RE when I start, and have af for 3 days before starting more bcp's. So...since I shouldnt be getting af until Tuesday but Im spotting now..Should I keep taking bcp's until Im on the fake ones on Tuesday, or should I stop taking them and let af come, and count today as cd 1 ? I am sure I can call my RE, but since its Saturday...Any thoughts ?

CC, just because you were supposed to get it on Tuesday doesn't mean that it can't come earlier. I would count today as day 1 if it were me. So, call them. After paying (I don't know what you pay) 120.00 just to speak with my RE I would call him whenever I needed to. Just my thoughts.

EMM, your thought about the money was mine, so I did call..Im to finish taking the active pills. She said some people spot while taking bcp's, so even if I continue spotting the next three days while taking the "active" pils, we would still count the 1st day of inactive pills as cd1. Glad I called, because my thought was the same as your EMM..I was going to stop taking them. Thank you!

CC, you are welcome. I am really glad that we found someone that we like because this is so important. You don't want to trust your fertility care to just anyone. If they didn't want calls then they should have chosen a different profession, I think. Getting off my soapbox. Just still thinking about all the money. Yikes! Well, I think today I might have ovulated. I had a pinching feeling on my left. Today is what I have mapped out as probably ovulation. So, I have probably missed the day of, but Lynn said she didn't do it on o day. We will definitely tomorrow and probably Monday too. Whew, O week is hard work! LOL. I am glad it isn't O month. I don't know if I could do it. In fact, I am sure I couldn't. Well all is relatively quiet in here this evening. I am going to try to get my son to lay down with me. He took a really long nap today, and I know I am probably going to regret not waking him up. My computer is starting to take a little while to get this to pull up. It has been a little over a month. So, any ideas for a new thread? Or am I rushing things? Hope all is well with everyone. Tracy, glad to see that you are doing well. Oh, and thanks about Kaelan's name. Kaelan Alexander. I think it is kind of a grown up name really. The Alexander comes from Chris' uncle. He died in his late 20s from a rare brain disorder. Luckily, it is not hereditary. It is really rare, and 2 people have to both carry the gene. Out of the few people in the world that have it, both of his grandparents had it. What horrible luck. Rambling now. Sorry.

EMM.....if you'd like i can forward you the e-mail i sent to D on what we did in May. just a recap...we did not BD on cd 14 or cd 15 and computer says with a 28 day cycle i should have O'd on cd 15. we did BD on cd 11 - 13 and then again cd 16 and cd 17. i wish i could find that website i read info on. in a nutshell....it spoke about how you should BD before you O so the sperm are there waiting for the egg to release. so we did for 3 days so i had a whole bunch waiting for the egg. CC, i so wish i could have gone to the beach also. i cleaned and napped today. and now...i am of to bed again. night girls.

GM everyone. I have been fighting with my two dogs. Yesterday I told Chris before you leave make sure that you fix the fence so the I don't have to be chasing them the whole time that you are gone. Well, about an hour later they had gotten out. This went on for several hours and got extremely annoying. Last night at around 2 a.m. I head Axl barking. It sounded kind of far off, and sure enough they were out of the fence. I spent a few minutes trying to get them to come back to no avail. I just went back to bed. This morning I wake up to work, and they came in. I have spent most of the 3 and a half hours I was supposed to be working messing with them and trying to fix the fence. I called Chris at 7:00 and told him to get home because I was about ready to let them out and not let them back in. Axl is a big dog, and I don't want to give someone the opportunity to say that he bit them. He hasn't ever bit anyone before, but I guess he could look like a biter to someone who doesn't know him. Plus, I know that if attacked he definitely would bite someone. That is the type of breed that he is. Ugh, what I nightmare. Besides the emotionally tired state that those stupid dogs have put me in...I get paid by productivity. Yesterday I made a whopping 25.00 during my scheduled time and today about 15.00. I guess sometimes Chris thinks that since I am at home it is easy to get work done. Well, he is wrong...dogs running around, Kaelan needs cereal, then he needs a diaper change, then I need to use the restroom, the dogs are out again, the dogs are barking...better get up and check to make sure they aren't out again. I just got off the phone with my dad and Chris left at about 9:00. He was supposed to give my dad a check and also drop off some movies for my brother. My dad said he didn't do either of those things. Lovely. What a great day this is going to be, and when he gets here I will ask him about the check and the movies...my gut feeling is that he will get all pissed off. Hope I am wrong. Yes, Lynn [email protected] if you will send that. Thanks. I think I should just go back to bed.
