Coconut water is grotesque.....I mix it with other juices and some ACV also sometimes. I cannot do it alone. Good luck Jane!!!!! Got a few attempts coming up!Quote:

Oh lord, 3pnb, good thing you survived that family encounter (barely) unscathed. I cannot handle people like that around my kids either, and it is worse when they are family. Hope you are feeling well, glad you can eat again!!!
Skrimpy, my fusser with reflux was pretty obvious.....I could tell also that she was in pain after she nursed. She was pretty much inconsolable for about 30 minutes each time, it was very frustrating and I felt horrible for her. At her 2 month check-up, I believe, I told her I thought she had reflux and due to the fussing immediately after eating and lots of spitting up, it was an easy diagnosis. We tried Zantac, which was like deisel fuel and an awful task to get her to take, but then Prevacid tabs that I could dissolve did the trick. This poor kid also would take like 8 craps a day, I am serious.....and usually one during her nap which would give her wicked diaper rash....so much so that we had to put steriod burn cream on her butt to heal the gaping wounds.....until one day, I noticed that lovely side effect of HAIR GROWTH and immediately called me doctors practically screaming "My baby has pubes! WTF????" Ah, those were the days. (They fell out after we stopped using it....I know you were all wondering!) But back to Honor, I think it may be witching hour also....just if it appears to be right after feedings and lots of spitting up, maybe think about speaking to the doctor about that. I know it is frustrating to have a fusser!!!!!! Hope you are holding down the fort well!
Layla, Alexis, Jane.....anyone else I forgot, let's get pregnant this month! I am sick of it all too. I did start my Clomid yesterday.....have no side effects as of yet. I know, can you all believe this grandma's house crapola? We are just going to sneak around and do it somehow, even if we have to go get in the car. Heck, that seems to be a magical place for conception, no?
3Pink in-laws are just a pain!!! great diversion btw from the pregnancy questions.
Alexis I am also shocked that chances of conceiving on O day are so small weird hey, everybody seems to say attempt on O day to increase your chances. Well if I don't get bfp this month next I will be trying Lola's strategy of bd every 2nd day without any attention to timimg.
Oh wow, thanks so much for the links!!Quote:

Lola-woohoo for Chlomid! Fx this is your month :)
Layla- you have no idea what a pain my in-laws are. The only good thing is dh knows they're nuts so we spend as little time with them as possible. Problem is between holidays and birthdays we still see them once a month, some times more. Ironically this baby's birthday will fill the only month we were safe lol
Kris- most calendars will assume a 14 day lp, I didn't O when predicted either.
Alexis- fx!!
Well we spilled the news to my mom today. She's been out of town for the last 6 weeks so she wanted to see the kids and insisted we stay for dinner. She tried to feed us in our normal meat and veg way, so it was either gag down the food and be sick or tell her. She's been lovingly harassing me for a while so there is no way I could fake my way through a meal. She is, of course, thrilled.
hey ladies!.. can i join too? thi is my 3rd cycle attempting..
:wave:hi there, im trying mt 1st attempt this weekend:nails: is this your 1st baby?Quote:

I haven't been on here for a while, but I have a very specific question. My O day is all over the place so getting a 4 day abstinence has been difficult, but I am hoping my body is getting a 'normal' after all these sups for the past 4 months. It is dreadfully hot here, and DH has to work in the heat for a couple hours a day. We DTD last night thinking I could have 4-6 days until O day and got an OPK + this morning. So if we BD this month (tonight) it will only be a 24 hour abstinence and a hot day. Would you wait another month, or go for it?
Layla- sounds like your cm has turned creamy indicating O has occurred. Not symptom just normal cm activity.
Hope.ful- I think it depends how strong the rest of your sway is and how bad you want the bfp.
Welcome Ksn!
I O on the 4th so it seems like our tickers s/b closer together. I'm using the FF's calculator based on O date and I have an estimated due date of 3.26.12Quote:

Looks like you are almost through your 1st trimester which is great to hit that mark. I'm praying everything will be all right for you, hang in there mamma!Quote:

I would go w/ the date ELP gave you cuz it's inline w/ mine. Your Dr. will no doubt go w/ first date of last period, but I O early so that's not accurate. I'll go off of my own date and disregard the Dr.'sQuote:

I'm not totally sure I can count it since it's before 6-8 weeks, but I'm thrilled. It's a positive sign and I'm so happy it appears to be "normal"
I really only told 1 friend about my bfp so far. I think I'm kinda scared to share this w/ anyone. I guess I don't care at all what my friends and family think and yet I totally do. I don't want to see any disappointed faces or looks of concern. Of coarse if I tell, the next follow-up ? will always be if we got our autopsy results from DS2 yet, and I don't want to deal w/ that right now either. I didn't want to hide this pregnancy either so I'm not sure what to do. For now I'm OK waiting to tell and would like to get an U/S before telling I think. I wish people were just not in my life at all sometimes. If I never talked bad about anyone I'd feel better about telling people to take a flying leap and mind their own business and if they say one negative word out of "concern" or otherwise and I find out about it, then our relationship is in serious trouble! My pregnancy was so miserable last time that I DO NOT want it to be like that again. This should be joyous time, why are people involved!
I just updated my ticker too from 1st day of last to O date per FF.Quote:

Another off the wall question for you ladies abroad. I bought a Miyo baby hammock for DS2 and I'm not sure if anyone else has used them and like them. The police still have the actual hammock part of it from their investigation and I sure hope to get it back soon, but don't want to stir the pot iykwim! I'd hate to re buy it, it was very very expensive.
OMG!!! I LUV!! CONGRATS!! I can't even believe I got on here and read you got a bfp!!! how fricking exciting!!!!!!!! I'm givng you this XOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXO all over!
I have to give separate Congrats to Kris as well!! How EXCITING!! 2 BFP's Since I have been gone for a few days!! I need to check this more!!!! I AM SO Thrilled for everyone! XOXOXOXOX
Thanks Tink!
Lastly. It's Dh's 35th birthday today. Af is here. Guess my mouth is getting a work out tonight! haha. I did a huge photoshoot for some of our top fitness models in the bay area today. Talk about making you hate your body even more working with fit chicks. At least one of then liked me so much she offered to train me for trade. Helps being cute and funny. They might be fit but these chicks don't no dick about makeup! Thank GOD for me!! Ha. I crack myself Up!
How is everyone. 3PN, i see you had a good app and your announcing the big new at DD's bday party!
What else have I missed? I'm hungry. I got so excited when I saw I luv's and Kris's news I skipped everything else. I gotta go back and see what else is going on.
Sorry I have been MIA, My cousin wedding is getting close so we have had showers and stuff. BUT that also means My Attempt is getting close too!! Wahoooooooo!
Awwwwwwwww! I wish u were the family and friends I need to tell still. thanx for being so excited!!!! All things aside, I'm stoked too. Thanks Tink!!Quote:

Bet not many of them have had kids either. :) Trade is awesome! I know how to put on my eyeliner and mascara and that's about it (of coarse my know it all teenager says I don't do my eyeliner right) :)Quote:

Temp dropped a little this am indicating O might actually be today at cd15. I'm so confused on that lol. Guess I'm
Waiting for crosshairs now. Still feeling crampy though.
I hope you are right 3pink as I had no idea when I oed this month because I messed up the opk testing. I just re-read atomic's essay on CM (isn't she just fantastic? :superhero:) and she described the CM that appears at O+12 to be exactly like the one I was describing yesterday. There is no sign of it today btw. If that is the case that would mean that we dtd 12-24hrs before O which is perfect timing for a boy sway and the best time (according to Alexis' stats thanks again for those Alexis) to get pregnant. Could I be that lucky to have such a good sway?:cheerteam::cheerteam:Quote:

Ions were also not on my side as it was raining when we dtd. Oh well I gave it a good shot though which will give me more confidence if it does not turn out to be BFP I think. Keep your fingeres crossed for me and I am sooooo glad I found this website you guys are just fantastic.:kissy:
Layla, GL to u girl! Its a good month for BFPs!
Great news iluv I think you should feel more positive from the result (I know it is easier said then done but) put it this way if the result came back bad and it was not relevant timing you would be freaking out at least this way there is hope.Quote:

On the other hand if my own family say something hurtful I just say to them you know mum/sister/DH etc what you just said is not very helpful or encouraging it is making me feel bad and I am sure you do not want to make me feel bad so next time before you say something try and think about how it will make me feel. It tends to work. Although having m/c is no where near as awful as what you have sufferred so my advice may not work for you, but give it a shot nothing to loose...
hi girls...BFN for me at 11dpo on a frer......so AF may show up tomorrow......
aggggg....back to start.....
Layla- I definitely think you've got a great shot this month!
Iluv- that's great news! Fx it's all good from here!
Cemas- sorry Hun, you'll just be stronger next month!
Tink- Happy Birthday to Dh!
Well gals, I've felt my first real twinge of GD today - just found out a girlfriend had her baby and her little surprise is a boy. I hadn't really felt much GD since Honor was born but for some reason hearing that she had a little boy really got to me. I'm holding Honor now and love her to death but still :( Just wanted to say on here as I know that DH won't understand really, and I wanted to tell somebody...
Sorry hun, I too was great w/dd3 until my sil had her son. Didn't help that suddenly my baby didn't exist. Anyway, Skrimpy, you know you're in good company.
This is what I did with my last pg....because they always ask you the LMP date and strictly go by that, even if you O on day 21, which is a week later. If you know from opks and all the day you O'ed, just tell them your LMP was 2 weeks before that.....make it so that your O day is day 14, kwim? That way, they won't give you a due date that is really a week earlier than it should be. My worry with that is that the doctors will cajole you to induce or whatever when you are really 39 weeks and not 40. But, that is just what I do so I have an accurate due date in my chart at the dr office. I swear, even this last time, I tried to tell them my O day and they didn't want to use that! So old school system. I even told them I knew as I took opks and all, but the idiot nurses just condescendingly asked for my LMP, like I didn't know what I was talking about. OK, sorry for rant there.....doctors can annoy me!!!!!!Quote:

I do have several close girlfriends who I will likely tell (we go drink wine a lot, so they will know!). But, these are the people who I lean on for support should something go wrong, so that is why I am ok with them knowing. And none are assholes, of course. But, for you guys, maybe you want to wait as well, and only tell the people who are close to you and will be sensitive about DS2. And hey, maybe you won't tell anyone for a while, just let us cyberpals be your support! You are right, it should be joyous indeed!
