[Cheekymoo]

Just wanted to check in quickly - as will be offline for a few days - we are going on a short break, It still amazes me how much stuff you have to pack for kids! Hoping to come back to some good news......I know a few have just attempted but who is due for testing in the next week? Good luck ladies!

i will try the coconut water one more time but this time cold as it was room temperature although im sure it will make me gag again! its weird because i love coconuts,i even used to buy them and smash them up and eat themnever mind,im sure with all the bananas,apricots etc,im getting more than enough!

I agree, I got through the 1/2 I did when it was ice cold and as it got warmer I couldn't finish it.

Hi Ladies, sorry for lack of posting have been working every day this week and half of last so I am flat stick busy!!!!
What have I missed??!!!

Kris what date did you ovulate on?

I ovulated on the 5th ELP

[Kris217]

I am definitely feeling dry today, so am hoping yesterday was a good try and not O+12. DD2 I am sure was conceived on O day as well unless it was O+12 too. Oh this is so complicated. To top it all of I was happy that it was 7 days after full moon rather than on new moon which is when I usually O, BUT after we finished I look out the window and it is raining!!!! UGRHHH. I really did not need more negative ions.

Kris I have used the saliva monitor before and when I said bubles I actually meant pebbles. It always worked for me in the past plenty of ferns were seen and that is what I used when DD2 was conceived. I was not aiming for a gender with her btw, just wanted to try as close as to O as possible to avoid the m/cs that I had before her.

Ahh pebbles, i see what you mean I stopped using it cos i got ferns for so long it wasn't funny!

[ELP]

I ovulated on the 5th ELP

So the average ticker would class this as day 14? Meaning you should be 4 weeks 1 day I think?? I'll see if I can find the calculator I used, hang on!!

But this one tells you how many weeks you are aswell, making you 4 weeks a 1 day!!

Got ANOTHER +opk today. Is it normal to have 3 days of +opks? We have dtd 3 days in a row and tonight will make it 4!!!! Are we pushing it here? I'm thinking today is probably O day.

I have been researching and the chances of getting pregnant are this (according to OVWatch website):
5% for O day
26% for O-1
28% for O-2
13% for O-3
13% for O-4

So, according to this, I've already hit my best chances of conceiving! Should we even bother dtd tonight? lol Only a 5% chance of conceiving on O day?!!! I was VERY surprised by that!

Kris - Congrats on the BFP!!!

Lola - bummer on being at grandmas, sounds like it'll be some super sneaky quiet bding for you Happy late Birthday to your dd!!

Iluv - the further I get into this pregnancy I'm clinging to the hope that life won't take a big shit on me twice in a row, I'm hoping this for you too

Cheeky - My 3rd pregnancy was a breeze, I tested like 5 or 6 times because I felt so good. I had only one food aversion (chocolate), I was able to work out throughout and basically felt great till about 37wks even though she was an Aug baby and it was a very hot summer. FX this one is just being super easy on you.

B- I'm a big fan of bribery too, whatever keeps the peace sometimes lol

Skrimpy - if it's only a few hours you may be dealing with the "witching hour". For no reason perfectly nice babies explode right round the same time each day, no fun and nothing you can do but figure out what calms her down. I knew a lady who had to stand in the bathroom with the shower running and bounce the baby in a certain way lol
I love the quiz idea, wish I knew I was swaying my ass off all those years lol
Thanks for the advice! I've been able to eat eggs again and lately breaded chicken, granted not paleo but meat going in is meat going in. At nearly 11 weeks I'm hoping my aversion days are coming to an end or at least fading for a few things.

Alexis, Layla, Jane FX!!!

We had a long weekend. Both my nieces were born on the 18th so we had 2 parties to go to. My older nieces birthday was painful as always since we can't stand sil family. They are incredibly mean to each other while pretending to be kidding. Not to mention sil thinks stuff is love so she buys my niece 10 outfits and a couple pairs of shoes and then her mom buys 80 things too. Opening presents takes forever! We also found out my loser/idiot bil and his gf are having another baby, this is not good news.
Second party was the next night, and I use the term party loosely. My bil and gf live with my inlaws and he hardly works. Since none of us helped with the party this year there was literally just a cake and some ice-cream and they gave her 2 gifts from the dollar store. Somehow I think you can drop more then $5 on your daughters 2nd birthday when he had gotten paid a few days ago. So sad. Anyway my other bil and I got in a brawl, well I asked him not to do something with my kids and he began yelling at me. I don't care how irrational he thinks my request is, they're MY kids and I won't be yelled at. I will admit I got a little nasty with him but when he says things like "I trust your judgment, I would expect you trust mine" I'm compelled to let him know that I don't. He doesn't believe that anyone needs to be in charge or make rules, you should just be your kids friends and let them do their thing. If your 2 y/o son want to climb the ladder to join you on roof go ahead and let him (yes this actually happened). If your 6 y/o accidentally puts on Dawn of the Dead in the middle of her birthday party, leave it on for 5 minutes while laughing (my oldest turned it off). They think Rocky Horror Picture Show and Dark Night are appropriate programing with a dozen kids running around. Hmm I wonder why I don't trust your judgement
Anyway good news is everyone was too wrapped up in unwanted baby drama and my hissy fit (yes that's right, I was the one who was wrong) to ask again if I'm pregnant and since we don't have to deal with them again for a month our secret is safe. The next time we'll see everyone is at dd3's birthday, I'll be 14 1/2 wks so that's when the big announcement will be made.
