Claire- HUGS honey, there is NOTHING wrong with you. I am sorry it makes you feel that way.

Yall are cracking me up!

Irene- It takes me time and effort too. I did not even get the O for the LONGEST time. I wish I was one of those girls who moves around funny in her blue jeans for a little thrill LOL I pretty much never go until after DH.

BCP KILLED my libido too. That is why we started charting to avoid before we were ready to TTC.

Wow, just when I thought this thread was losing all it's spunk!

Claire/Rac - Just recently like 10 days ago, DH rejected me. One of the worst feelings EVER! And now ever since then, I have no desire. It was seriously tough to get in the two BD's on our ANNIVERSARY weekend.

DH has been getting a little heavier, and so have I. And now that we've gained some weight and been married for a year, he's just lazy. I don't know what it is, maybe it's the ttc that's getting to him. I really don't know. But that last thing I want to have to worry about is our sex life. But thinking about how great it used to be, and how lame it is now. Pretty sad.

Irene - Personal question, do you masterbate? Or ever have? That seems to be the difference between most of my friends and I, they don't O, or barely O, and none of them would even think of masterbating. Me on the other hand, mrs. sex drive. Used to all the time. And now I'll probably have to start again, if mr. poopy pants doesn't step up to the plate. What I'm saying is if you know what it is that makes you O, when your actually doing the deed it's pretty easy to get her started. Honestly, I'm not even sure if I need two minutes.

So let's see here, still at 1 dpo, bummer. Man time slows down when you want it to fly by.

Christie- Thanks! And just who are these girls who walk funny? LOL

Mary- Oh, hunny. I'm sorry. I know how that feels. What does DH say when you ask him about his libido? And make sure he knows how much that rejection hurt. It took me a few months to tell DH and he had no clue.

I'm not sure what correlation you think the weight gain has. But I know that for me it's that I feel unnatractive and self conscious......Not that I'm not attracted to DH.

ROFLMAO- you are so right about the self gratification and O.....I figured that out a long time ago comparing with my girlfriends.

Hi Everyone! Hope all is going well. I'll have to catch up with everyone's news. I just came back from visiting family in NJ. My aunt has five children (ages 7, 6, 4, 2, and a newborn) and it was fun to be around all the chaos.

My cycle this month was all wacko. AF should be visiting soonish. I gave up the temping because I was always up with the kiddos. On to sept.

Well Yay, I got my CH. Can't wait to pop my first pill tonight! LOL

Irene - I hope I didn't offend you in my last post. And maybe I should of sent that in a pm. Sorry if I did, let's just say I have a hard time with appropriate and reality.

And what the heck does DTD mean? Stup here.

Jenny - Welcome back.

Didn't get but 6 hours sleep last night. Temp went up a smidge but I am not sure what it would have done on my normal 7 1/2 to 8 hours of sleep.

Mary - Yay to c/h... not sure I agree with them, though. Oh well. So, you will start your progesterone today??

Mary - LOL you did not offend me I just wasn't online last night! Hate to burst your bubble but even when flying solo it can take me a long time... the only thing that really works to get 'er done quick is bringing out the toys. I have suggested to DH that we use them more often during sex but I think thats a bit of an ego thing for him too Honestly I think its hard for the girls that can get off quickly (like Christie mentioned with the moving funny in blue jeans) to understand that it is not that easy for everyone. With DH was the first time I was even able to O during sex and that still requires tons of foreplay first.

Still no Peak I think the LH line on my FM stick was darker than yesterday so hopefully thats a good sign...

Mary-yay for crosshairs! How many days will you take the pro for if AF doesn't break through and no BFP?

Woke up at 5:30am because of Avery, then went back to bed for an hour and then temped at 6:30am, and still got a decent temp somehow. Negative OPK so I'm thinking I probably won't O until cd 15 or so. Which is fine, since after O there is just more waiting!

Should be an easy today at work today because we're going out to lunch and then a place called the Main Event where we'll go bowling and play laser tag!! One of those thankyou/teambuilding events.

__________________

Mary- you're so cute. Yay to CH! Now back to waiting, right?

Irene- still no peak. I wish I knew what was up with that. LOL "bring out the toys". DH used to always suggest that when he couldn't get the job done while he was down south.......I'd be like "accck! no, just a little longer" He he, funny.

Christie- I'm not sure an hour less time is going to effect things too too much.....But I always put those things in my notes on my chart.

Bina- Glad you got an easy day. Waking up a little early doesn't seem to hurt my temps, either. Heck, one day I temped right after RR (oops) and it was pretty good to.

__________________

Irene - I thought about that too, that just because I pleasure myself and it takes barely anything to get off doesn't mean that everyone can. And by the by, love love the vibrator. LOL, but don't tell DH, he does get very offended.

Bina - I'm not sure? She just said take one starting at 2 dpo, and then if AF comes stop, if BFP continue for 10 weeks. Good question. I guess I'll need to call and find out. Sounds like a great day at work. My boss comes back, and I just talked to her and it doesn't sound like she will be very pleasant when she returns. Boo.

Rac - Yes taking it tonight, when I saw the CH this morning, I was tempted to take one then, but then thought being drunk/dizzy didn't sound like that much fun.

Claire - Can I steal you new blinkie? "coming soon"? Thanks! And reallly I don't want to be cute, I would rather be the hard @ss like you! And I'm glad you are a lot more mature than me, I would of called that B, and told her off. Wouldn't of solved anything, but I'm just stupid like that. And yes off to waiting......

I think my thermometor is really low though. Not sure why both my pre-o and what appear to be post-o temps are so dang low. It's not a BBT because I threw that out in a fit of no-more-TTC rage. Maybe next month I'll buy a new BBT. I also have a fan blowing directly on my head every night so maybe that has something to do with the relatively low temps too.

__________________

Mary- Don't be fooled! I'm not mature at all! I did get a chance once to tell her off and I did. And I'd love to do it again sometime. But it all boils down to DH and the things we do for our marriages, KWIM? Yep, steal away with my blinkies, no need to ask. As far as the pro-guess Bina knows, but can't it hold off AF even if you aren't PG?

Em- I think BBT are like lingerie........you ALWAYS need to buy more! LOL.

__________________

Mary - it's unlikely that the amount of progesterone you're on will stop AF from coming if you're not pg. It can delay it, but you'll probably still start it. I would stop it once you get to 14 or 15 dpo though if you don't have a BFP. No reason to put extra hormones in your body if they aren't doing anything.

Claire - Oh I do understand, that for the sake of you and DH it's better to pretend to be the bigger person. I have delt with DH's Xwife. And as much as I hate her, I pretend to be a very nice and understanding person.

Em - I agree, after 15 dpo and no BFP, I probably will stop. And I couldn'tet your link to work?

And you guys all know me, I'm way to impatient to wait that long for AF.

Mary - that's because I'm stupid! I didn't post the link to my chart, just to the FF homepage. Stupid. Fixed. It's not very exciting yet though.
