[hope.ful]

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 ovulated on the 5th ELP

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 3.26.12

This one says edd 27th March for you

I should really read ahead ELP & Kris. I agree w/ the 3/27 EED for you Kris. I O a day before you and my EDD based on FF O chart is 3.26.11.

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.

It's kinda hard to be totally positive when you know that tragedy can be right around the corner. It's really hard to balance it all. I wish I could say everything will be fine, but we both know good wishes don't make things better. There's hope though and I pray everything will turn out all right, 3PNB. 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!

Sounds like a great two days. It's so hard when you see parents who are immature and you can see the scary things that can happen to their children. I sure hope the grow up and take child rearing seriously.

Oh and when i put my last period in this one it says conception day was the 8th but i don't think so. I ovulated on the 5th or 6th and did the inseminations on the 5th and 7th but i think the 7th was too late and i got pg on the 5th?

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.'s

[iluvmyman]

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.

That's awesome 3PNB. My parents are so anti-clamatic when we announce. After 9 or so announcements they don't get too excited. Plus that's just not the kind of people we are. My MIL on the other hand is much better to tell.

Hey ladies I have a thick mucus like discharge. Only 2day after dtd so could it be early pregnancy symptom or left overs from the pre-seed or even semen? I remember having the same type of thing after all my last pregnancies but dont thinkit was this early.

Seems kindof early but you never know.

[iluvmyman]

Hmmmm, Are you just trying to get pregnant or total boy sway? 24 hours abstinence isn't the end of the world for sure...the hot day??? OK hopefully someone else will comment cuz I'm just not sure. I totally screwed up my timing this time but I'm OK w/ it and happy to be pregnant.
