I am having a HARD time exercising! Yesterday and today I am SO exhausted. I took a 1.5 hour nap yesterday, and I am going to have to again today! I don't really want to take two days off so I'll set my alarm to workout after a 20min nap.

Looking back at my chart. I am 6DPO and Oed on the 24th. I got my second estrogen surge a little earlier than I usually do. I am a day behind you Tarasue! I won't test at all until the 8th at 15DPO though. I am sick of getting a BFN, and I do t want to know in case of a chemical. I would rather stay ignorant and think AF is just being cruel and usually heavy.

FX for you Tarasue! I am sure you caught the egg and will get your girl! By the way, I love your avatar! You are SO beautiful, and your son is HANDSOME!!!

Junie, thank you, and I'm so glad you understand. Bc I totally hate diets and think they are almost always silly fads! That mucous sounds VERY promising.

tarasue, I completely agree with XX, you and your son are both gorgeous. You both look like models. Good avatar choice

XX, guess what...both yesterday and today I have been strangely exhausted, for no apparent reason as I've been getting plenty of sleep and it's not like I do anything tiring. I fell asleep around 7pm and slept for about 4 hours last night, and I've been fighting fatigue since 8pm tonight. I wonder what is up with us? I HATE feeling tired, too. My meds are sedating but I haven't been taking as much as usual so I'm stumped.

Thank you XX & Maiden! That picture was taken in November after finding out we were pregnant again, we had a couple pictures taken that were supposed to be new baby announcements in our Christmas cards...... that never happened, but we did end up with some other good shots. You girls are too kind, I think model is a bit of a stretch, but it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, thank you!

I have noticed the days I ovulate and the week or so after ovulation I am exhausted and need to take naps. I just woke up from an hour and a half one

XX- I understand the ignorant is bliss approach. Honestly, I didn't do the test because I really wanted to have a drink tonight and if by some wacked out chance it came up positive, I wouldn't. Maybe a bad reason, but it is what it is.

I hate to symptom spot.... but... full-achy bbs, pinching sensation in lower abdominal area, tired, vivid weird dreams, sensitive teeth?(had this before with my last pregnancy), super dry mouth & my diet coke made me almost throw up this afternoon(i drink diet pepsi, so maybe it was just that I had a diet coke instead!)

Tarasue- things sound promising for you!! FX and [emoji120] you get your girly BFP [emoji179]!!

Maiden- If it wasn't for the fact I am two years older than you, I would swear we were separated at birth! We have so much in common, it is so funny and reassuring!

AFM- I was able to get my exercise in! I feel good about that! The only strange symptom for me is the fatigue. I never have that. I think since I have reduced cals, only BF DS2 once a day now, and switched up my exercise routine, this has caused my fatigue. I am over it though already! Ugh!

FX we see more BFPs!!!

Xx- I know if I don't exercise I have a hard time sleeping at night. And my husband, when ever he starts up a new exercise program or starts jogging he is exhausted all the time. I think once your body adjusts to the new caloric burn your exhaustion should subside. That is unless you end up pregnant, and then you'll be exhausted for a new set of reasons

tarasue, I agree with XX, your symptoms sound very promising. And I wasn't exaggerating, I don't believe in false compliments. Obviously the pic isn't a close up, but from what I can see you are both very good looking. You have such lovely olive skin!

Alas, as I have not Oed yet, my exhaustion is not from that. I think it must be due to my SAD. It is always worst late Jan through early Mar, but I've really been struggling since Dec since moving to Germany, bc the 'house' I live in is very dark and depressing, plus it is overcast here from Nov through Mar. Though honestly, wherever I go I bring/cause rain. I have broken several droughts just by moving to a place (and I've moved A LOT).

XX, you know I feel the same! I'd love to see your natal chart bc I wonder if we have much in common astrologically.good for you for exercising, that should help perk you up. I always feel more energetic when exercising regularly. I bet you are going through hormonal changes, too, what with dropping feeds lately and even recovering still from your high FSH.

I have been eating a bit more on fasting days out of caution. I dont think my CBFM is working right (it hasn't been the past 2 cycles, I think I confused it by not using it exactly as directed) and I don't think my CBAD is working either bc of the false Peak from the smeared tester. I really think the last two days should be Highs and today as well but both monitors still read Low. My cheap OPKs have been almost positive yesterday and today. My cervix is High and Soft (and my cervix is my most reliable predictor of O) and I have EWCM. I think I will O tomorrow or the day after. I was too tired to attempt last night but I must tonight or tomorrow am!

Hey girls! Sorry I posted the IF blog post and then disappeared! I was just worried that the fasting could be affecting things negatively as many of us have been TTC for 6+ cycles now and may need all the help we can get!

DS2 and I have been battling pink eye for the past few days! He's all fine now and is going back to school tomorrow, but I still have a pink ring above my iris! WTH!? We've both been on drops since Friday. So I can't wear my contacts and I hate wearing my glasses out of the house. No fun!

Anyone testing soon?
