Ok, so how is everyone doing?
Jules how are you feeling? When do you go in for your 1st appt?
Rachel...how are doing hon? Feeling better? Did AF find her way home??
Michele, how's the leg and the "sex-athon" going? 
Heather.....not much longer for your DEC 6th appt!!!! Hope that goes well!!!
Cara, where are you girl??? Off to the pet store? How are things going for you?? Are you on the sex schedule that your doc gave you???
As for me....I'm do to get AF Wed or Thursday. I have had some spotting but it had slowed down. My periods have been really weird for some time now. I'm blaming it on my thyroid. But I'll usually start spotting a few days before my period...but it seems like the spotting is starting early this time....last month the spotting started on the 21st of Oct and the actual period started one 25th So I figured the spotting would start on the 17th this month and the period on the 21st. But now the spotting started on the 13th....so I'm getting confused....why does it keep on starting sooner every month? I'm sick of my irregular period!!!
Ok, so that's where I'm at.....don't think I'm PG this month  Hopeing for next month!!! If not next month then I'm going to get nervious.....It's only takin me a month to get PG in the past!!! I'll have to go to a endocronoligist for my thyroid!!!
Ok, enough from me! Have a good week ladies!

Well, my sex-a-thon is offically over! I got a positive opk last Monday and Tuesday, so figure I actually ovulated last Tuesday or Wednesday. We had sex everyday from Sunday to Wednesday last week, so I should have it covered! I'm planning on testing Friday am but it may be a day or two early for a true result, but you girls now how hard the 2ww is!!  I'm haing to use the progesterone right now, can we say ICK!!! I guess I could deal with it a little better knowing I was pregnant and doing it for my baby but I've done it every month for the last 4 months and still no baby!! 
Steph, my cycles are also getting shorter! Over the last 4 months, my cycles are a full week shorter! Whats up with that?? If your spotting already than it probably means you ovulated a little sooner also. Did you have sex early enough this month to have covered yourself if you did ovulate early? If this continues to happen, I would recommend you use the ovulation tests. Don't buy them at the stores, they are too expensive. You can get them at www.cheappregnancytests.com and they work just as well! You can also get the real early epts there!
Rachel, I hope AF is on her way out and you can start trying again soon!
Has anyone heard from Jules recently??
Heather, I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Anything is possible, Keena is living proof of that!

Opps, that site is hard to navigate. I think I ment www.earlypregnancytests.com Here is the url to the exact opks I bought http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/pacof3ovtess.html
They are the cheapest but you have to pee in a cup than dip the stick as oppossed to just peeing directly on the stick. I bought like 40 of them back in the spring. They do have the mid-stream tests but they are more expensive! I bought the same kind in the pregnany tests but they were blue instead of green. I got 10 for $9.95 and they test positive at 20 hcg!! This is also where I ordered that pree-seed lube from, its not supposed to interfer with the sperm motility!

Hey there!!
AF is hopefully on her way out... I've been doing OPK's already to cover my butt. (knowing me, I'd ovulate early and miss it!)
Michele! I don't know how true this is, but I heard that too much sex can actually decrease your chances of conceiving. Every other day is what they recommend because it supposedly can take up to 48 hours for more sperm to be produced. Did I heard right, or is this just a fable??? Either way... I hope it works for you this month... I 'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Gosh... I hope Jules is progressing nicely with her pregnancy!!
Heather... Good luck at your appt!

Sorry - I've been sick! I had the flu really bad this weekend  I haven't been feeling really well, so our sex schedule wasn't followed so well...but who knows, maybe one of those days we did have sex was the right one! We'll find out pretty soon, I'm due for AF in about a week. I don't think I'm pregnant...I do have this weird feeling it's going to happen next month.
Ya know what I was thinking too - if it DID happen next month - how AWESOME would that Christmas present be for my family and Justin's family?!?! It would be my parents first grandchild! I could buy t-shirts or something that say 'I'm a Grandma/Grandpa' or something and wrap them up. If I could keep it a secret that long.......
Ok I'm getting ahead of myself, I don't want to jinx it!
Good luck everyone!

Cara, I was thinking the same thing for x-mas gifts to the family if I get pregnant!! It would be so hard to keep it a secret though!!
I have heard that too much sex can hurt your chances. The idea behind that is if the male has a lower sperm count than the sperm don't have time to replenish. So, I guess its true for some people!! I don't think thats an issue for us though! I really think I ovulate very fast after I surge. The two times I did get pregnant I had sex TWO days before, the day of and the day after positive opks. The last few months, we have only had sex ONE day before, the day of and the day after. I was really trying to get sex in two days before I surged this month but I surged 2 days early!! GRR!!

I know this is pretty obvious and stupid.. but did you and your hubby quit smoking? I remember you saying you were going to try a few months ago. Anyways, i've heard that smoking can damage sperm in males.. I dunno if this is true though. but if it is, and he's still smoking that *may* have something to do with it (small chance I know).

Did you HAVE to bring that up??!?!?! LOL. Now I'm going to hear it from everyone on the boards....
We are smoking right now - BUT, listen before you all yell!!
We actually are going to try and quit TONIGHT! We want to be done before the holidays because we go to Chicago to see my family, and they don't know we smoke....
This time we are actually really excited about quitting, which I think will help. We have been cutting down cigarettes each day, and today is the last day...so wish us luck.
I know for all of you that don't smoke or never have, it seems ridiculous and stupid, but it's a lot harder than you think to give up.
Thanks for bringing it up girl!! Haha. Jk. I did not know that about the sperm thing, I'll definately mention that to Justin tonight!

Oh Michele - you crack me up. A pissed off, hungry girl on crutches. LOL.
I get like that with the progestrone too - I'm on day 5 of it right now for this month. I get so moody! Last Friday I had cleaned the whole house, and Justin got home and left a Dr. Pepper can out on the coffee table and I had a b*tch fit. I apologized of course, but the little things aggrevate me for these 10 days! 
Now he jokes around, and when gets up from the couch he looks at me, and then puffs the couch pillows up before he walks away - lol.

Hey, at least your man is catching on!! I've been doing the progesterone for how many months now and WIll still asks what I'm upset about??!! MEN!! I'm trying to be very happy around him right now, I feel so quilty with him working SO much AND having to cook and clean....At least I know he will appriciate me more when this is over! HE actually grumped at ME this morning for him having to pick up my cereal bowl off the table! Have you ever tried to carry a dirty cereal bowl to the sink while using crutches??!! Maybe now he will understand when I grump at him about messing up the house right after I clean it!

Hey I can understand Cara... I smoked for 10 years. Quit when I was 21. Even though I tell people I quit cold-turkey, I still snuck one in every now and then for a couple of months. Good luck!!!

Heather!!!!! You naughty thing.....<Sinead moving into lecture mode>....I have asthma so am REALLY antismoking and don't let anyone smoke in my house (well its MY house!) the funny thing is none of my family or friend smoke, BF's three brother, parents and 2 friends who call by all do..Still though, he is as antismoking as me.
They brought in the "no smoking in workplaces" law here in March and I am loving it! My asthma is so much better, I always needed my inhaler in pubs and now I don't yippee and I barely have to take my inhaler at all anymore!
<steps down from high horse!>
I do other "bad" things, we all have confessions, there is no point in quitting until you WANT to, its like losing weight, you need to want to before you can do it properly!

don't hate me!
I just learned in class yesterday that men smoking lowers sperm production and sperm count.. so I figured i'd let you in on the secret! hehe don't be mad.. i didn't mean to blow your spot! hehe.
and trust me.. I know how hard quitting smoking is.. I smoked since I was forteen and finally quit for over a year.. then I did a bad thing and had one with my bestfriend when she came to visit one year later and now have to quit all over again!
so trust me.. I know how hard it is!
ps.. no worries about quitting.. when the time is right it will happen... and just think.. if you get pregnant that would probably be motivation enough to quit.
haha and I totally understand about the parents not finding out. my parents dont' have a clue and I hope to keep it that way always!

LOL. I love that kind of confession - HAHA. You won't get the lecture speech from me!
We don't smoke in the house....which sucks in the winter. Sometimes I'll have a scarf wrapped over my whole head except for a hole for my mouth! LOL. Yummy cigarettes....
Oh I will miss my cigarettes....
It'd be a lot easier if I hated the addiction, or the taste, or smell.......but I love it. There's another weird thing I'm fascinated with - the smell of smoke! Oh and gasoline - LOVE that smell.
Ok I'm going off subject.
Now everyone's going to yell at me for saying 'yay' that you smoke - Hahaha. Don't yell everyone! It's just nice to know I'm not alone.
I will quit! We only have 1 more left each! And I'm about to go smoke it......... *tears* I will need major help. And if I'm b*tchy for awhile, you know why. :P
Love ya'll!

Yep I know what you mean!! The only thing I hate about smoking is the cost!! I don't smoke around Kenna!! I either go outside or to the basemant if she is up!! I love to smoke!! It is just such a part of my life stupid I know but there it is!! I have been smoking since I was 15 I am now 28!! I cut back to two a day while pregers!! I went cold turkey at first and blood pressure shot through the roof and my doc said to do two a day, because the blood pressure was more of a danger to the baby (kenna) than the smoke!!
As for low birth rate because of smoking. Well I would have hate to have seen how big she would have been!! She was 8lb 13 oz and 23 inches long!! I am NOT promoting somking while pregers just telling my story!!!
I won't yell at you either!! I wish you all the luck with quiting!!!

oh yay! we're still friends hehe
anyways last cigarette.. yikes.. that's sad!
its strange when I quit it was mostly cause my ex wanted me to and i lived with two other boys that would make me go out in the freezing cold to smoke.. so one day I woke up and just slapped on a patch.. Honestly, I never got a celebratory last cigarette cause I was just so over standing outside in the rain to smoke and my ex refusing to kiss me right after.. haha I guess he did contribute one good thing to my life.
good luck.. let us know how it goes..

I wanted to extend my thoughts to all you gals trying!!! Baby dust and warm wishes are being sent your way!!
Also - Cara, DH and I both smoke and didn't even think about quitting until I actually got pregnant (I know, incredibly naive) but we got pregnant just fine, so please don't stress about that)
Honestly, some doctors recommend you don't QUIT smoking if it will cause you great stress because that will put you in a higher stress level. I never officially quit when I was pregnant, just cut right down. I was only between 2-4 cigs a day. I could have quit, but just those made my days easier.
(PS - Sorry if anyone isn't happy about that  This is just what I found worked for me - If you CAN quit - great!! )
Again, good luck ladies!!!

Thanks Lana!! But now you're making it harder to quit! LOL.
I am really serious about it this time...I'm going to buy some suckers and some crest whitening strips or something so that I can be excited about making my teeth really white or something...maybe that'll make me not want to smoke.
UGH - it's just so hard because I love it. LOVE IT. And I love the smell of second hand smoke, so I definately have to stay away from smokers for awhile....

You can do it Cara!!! Now is the best time to do it!!! If all else fails...get some Zyban or the patch or something. Put the money in a jar and spend it weekly on yourself...that will help you stay quit...or save it up for when you get pregnant you can buy the baby some stuff.

Hi all!!
Sorry for being MIA for a while. Busy week at work, and I'm leaving for Puerto Rico on Friday, so I have a bunch of things to wrap up before I leave.
I've been feeling pretty good. Just sore boobies, a little tiredness (but not like before), no nausea or anything. I have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow, so we'll know how far along I am.
I am really nervous because the last time I had an ultrasound, all we saw was the sac. It was a really sad appointment. I am praying that we see our little bean in there.
Michele, good luck with the testing. I won't get to know until I get back from PR, but I'll be thinking of you. Steph, I want to know about you as well. Good luck to everyone else!!
Hopefully, I'll get back on here after my u/s and let you know what happens.
Talk to you soon!

Yep, I hate the cost with smoking too! That's the only thing I hate! When we lived in Chicago they were $5.75 a pack!! Here they are about $4.00, but still, with both of us smoking it's a lot of money!
So DH doesn't smoke?? That's probably a good thing for you! I'm so used to smoking with my DH that it's just harder to quit. I used to work in construction where EVERYONE smokes, so it's good I'm not at that job anymore.
That's crazy about the blood pressure rise when you quit!! And your grandma chewed!! LOL. I've never seen a woman chew. That cracks me up thinking of it. I tried it once and it was nasty. I was spitting stuff out for like 20 minutes. I tried everything in college....I'm done with that stage - but like you, I couldn't give up the smokes!
Ok I better stop talking about it now because I'm really starting to crave.

Yeah, I've heard several states now have banned smoking in public places! I think thats great!!! My mom smokes like a chimney and I can't stand to visit her for more than an hour or two at her house because it just kills me. I refuse to let her smoke in my house so she never visits me! I hate going out to eat and having to smell and taste smoke with my food! Even sitting in the non smoking area you still get all that second hand smoke!
Now, remember, I used to be a drug addict so believe me I know something about addiction! I am also NOT a conservative person in the least. If you want to smoke, I don't care but don't subject me to it! I'm not going to judge anyone or hold it against anyone, I just don't want to inhale it, taste it, breath it, smell it on my clothes and hair etc!!
So, my dear girlfriends, you know I care very deeply for you but just hand to toss my 2 cents in!! Still friends??

I used to smoke and quit when I met my DH. Interestingly enough, when I quit smoking I got IBS. Smoking makes my IBS-C go away. Weird, eh? It's definitely NOT a trigger for me, it actually helps my tummy woes.
Michele, tingly boobies!!?? I can't wait til you test!
I went out and bought a home doppler-thingy. I tried to listen for the heartbeat but didn't hear anything. I don't think I'm doing it right. Hopefully, I'll hear the hb tomorrow!

Jules, where did you buy the home dopplar thing???? Do you mind if I ask what you paid for it? I DO want one!! I'm going to be so nervous when I get pregnant, I think it would be helpful if I can hear my baby's heartbeat any time I want!! Remember, you probably won't be able to actually HEAR the heart beat until 8 weeks! You can usually SEE it beating on an ultrasound but usually can't hear it until 8 weeks!

I live in MD (in a non-smoking county-- they're doing it by counties here) and work in DC (smoking district) and I hear ya on that asthma comment! I have to lunch with all these MD smokers who come down here to wreck my lungs at work. It sux!!!!!
We all have bets here at work if they're going to make VA non-smoking or not. They've already passed a major cigarette tax down there and it seems a bit schizophrenic, considering the tobacco legacy in VA!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think insurance (NHS!!) should cover m&m's. REALLY! Take 3 at noontime to avoid cramping, irritability, and general moodiness. Would you like a child-proof cap?

Oh yeah that would be excellent- the peanut ones or the chocolate ones though..that would be my idea of a treatment choice!!

We should petition the insurance companies!!!
M&M's should now considered medically necessary!

$20.00 at Target!! I'm getting one for sure!! I think it would really make me feel better any time I start to worry, I can just listen to the heartbeat and be re-assured that baby is still growing!! Thanks for the links, I saved them, if I buy anything "baby" before I'm actually pregnant, my hubby will shot me!!

Oh darn Heather! I was hoping for you!!! Maybe Michele will be the winner this month. I'm still spotting, so I think AF will be here in the next few days too. I too started spotting early this month. I don't know what's up with the early thing this month. I just wish I had a regular period, where I didn't spot for days before the big shabang!!!

Ok Sweetie, I think you need to go buy yourself some M&M's!! I completey know the bitchy feeling, wish I knew how to make that go away! If your cramping real bad, Tylenol shouldn't upset your tummy and might help a little. Also, get out the heating pad! I know since my going off the pills, my periods have been SO painful. I hope you feel better soon! Big Hugs!!

Hi Rachel, I'm still spotting a little. Not very much! I'm suppose to start the actual AF between today and Saturday!
So I guess I'm still waiting. I did start spotting 5 days early this month!! So I have no clue what's up with that....I'm HOPING it was implantation spotting, BUT I'm pretty sure AF will be here any time now
I'll keep you posted...I've been tempted to take a test...but I don't want to waist it!! I can wait a few more days, I THINK!!!!
Thanks for checking in on me!

LOL- you have a funny husband- at least he understands, although Kenna is a bit young to be programmed like that! I am sure you don't take your mood out on her, hope you are feeling better. I got up at 3pm and spent the afternoon watching the video of my friend's wedding, (the one my profile pic was taken at and BF was best man at)
How chilled, Still haven't made ADBS as still haven't left the house to buy eggs (and I need flour i think too) Hopefully BF will get them on his way home...
How are you doing now?

I am ok!! I just spent a half hour in the potty but I am doing ok!!! Cramps have backed off a little!!
Kenna just laughs at him and says Daddy your CCCRRAAZZYYY!!! I try very hard not to take it out on her!! She is being a VERY good girl today so I think we may all live!!! I hate pms and the way it makes me!!!
How are you feeling!! You are not going to want to go back to work after two weeks off!!! OY!!!

Glad to hear Keena is being a good girl today and at least hubby has a sense of humor about the whole pms thing! when I tell Will I have PMS he just runs to the basement and doesn't come up!!
I'm not feeling so hot today at all. Another rough night. My ankle is killing me!!! It keep cramping last week and waking up what little sleep I did get. My eyes are all dark and puffy. Luckily, I haven't been very busy at home but even just sitting here with it up on a chair and a pillow, its screaming pain at me. I don't have any pain pills left but do see the dr on Friday. I'm also feeling VERY hormonal and bitchy and hungry and generally run down. Wish I could go home and go to bed. Who knows, I think I will put a note on the door at the office and leave early, most of our patients know about my accident so hopefully will continue to be understanding. I know of a couple of people that should be in soon but maybe I can leave between 3-4.
Here's to hoping we all feel better soon!
