Rebecca ~ I just checked my inbox and the doctor says to check his file. Um...what file? He doesn't even have insurance with them! I explicitely told the lab people that I wanted the results delivered to me! Morons!

Melissa - what a bunch of crap! All they told you was that the numbers were a little low?? How long does it take for mail in CA?? I hope the numbers aren't too low, though. I'm anxious for you to get the full report. Yea, approaching dh might be a bit touchy. Wait till you get the actual report so you can show him.

Mel - that is complete BS - I hope they can get it figured out and get his results to you.

Mary - I didn't get to take any pics this weekend but I had these from last year since you said you wanted to see our boat.

Irene - Nice boat! How fast do that thing go? Do you drive it? Thanks for keeping me positive today. I really needed it.

I still can't tell if it's cramps or just a tingling on my right side. I'm just too flippin worried about it.

Come on Claire - Where you at?

Awww, ya'll actually missed me! *sniffle*.

Rac- WOOOHOOO, so glad you are home! We were so completely lost without you. Glad you had a good time. And for the sake of that boys future, I hope his father does put a boot up his a**.

Mary- Well, crap. Just when you think you got things figured out, right.? 19 is nothing to cry about at all. That's great! Ok, so here's what we are gonna do next: Hurry up and wait. Let's see when AF actually comes. Maybe-just maybe- your body is starting to find it's own balance. BTW, you were so sure AF was coming before the weekend-did those symptoms go away? Or has it felt like AF was coming for days. Either way, not diagnostic, just curious. And I document all those things in my chart-not a bad idea if you aren't. Oh and HPT at 10DPO?- *smacks Mary on the wrist* This is how we induce our own histeria......and waste good BBT money on HPT's

Mel- grrr! you'd think for the money we pay these people (or our ins, whatever) that we would get better service, right? To weigh in on the OPK's: I've been using the internet cheapies until I start to get a good line, then I cross check with an answer (the bigger ones, not dip strips). And I never get "real" positive, so I go back and change my chart to the darkest OPK is +....does that make sense? I like the dip strips better, otherwise I just pee on my hand, and the window and I can't find the stream and then it's all gone and I haven't held it in the stream long enough-LOL!

Irene- Glad you aunt is going to be ok. Sorry for the temp drop.

JJ- I sure hope you can at least get a break from AF for your trip.

So, *big sigh* what a friggin weekend! I'm playing hookie today. I did a couple errands and am now practicing my broccoli impression on the couch. Don't quite have it perfected.....will work on it a bit more. I'm trying a new approach to the 2ww (mostly due to hysteria and DH) it's called the "no-way-in-hell-I'm-pg" appoach. So, on the 4th I got LOADED! Haven't drank that much in a while. Then Sat got up at 4 to go to DH's gun competition (his first one). And on Sunday we went BACK to the gun thing and I participated, too! So DH and I had SUCH a good time, just spending time together with no work, money or TTC issues. So, today I am 4.5lbs heavier and totally pooped.

Claire - It's nice to be missed, but there were no major catastrophes while I was gone, so I think you all did okay without me!! YAY for having a good weekend with dh and good for you for getting loaded!

Claire - You're so right, ofcourse. And I totally need to start tracking the mood, bloating, short temper. But now that you say that, last week the mood started, which is usually a week before AF. And just today I totally bloated out after lunch. I'm sure she'll be here tomorrow. And I'm with you, I've changed my attuitude, I'm definitely NOT pg! DH won some Visa gc's at work so I promise, I'm going to get with it. I also need to look back at Bina's post with the glow bbt. And of course I just passed up some instead cups at Target on clearence.

I mean does anyone really want to mow when it's 95 degress outside!!!

Mary- Ahhh, sometimes living in the desert is a wonderful thing! We don't "mow". When I was in high school I went to a National level horse show in Topeka and I swear it was the WORST heat I had EVER been through....so if where you live is even close, I feel for ya.

Rac- No, I guess there weren't any "major" catastrophe's.........but there could have been!

Ahhhhhhh, life has been a disaster lately. I am so tired of dealing with the most stupid man I have ever met. I swear he changes his mind faster than I change my underwear. (Which is frequently!) To be honest, I am very thankful that I didn't get PG. I should see AF tomorrow. I am hurt so emotionally right now. I apologize for not keeping up with all of you. I miss you guys terribly. I will check back with everyone tomorrow. If anyone wants to know the exact details PM me and I will tell you. Anyways, I am going to bed for now. Love ya!

Claire ~ What is the broccoli impression?

Mary ~ Target sells IC???? I'm going to Target tomorrow! I haven't been able to find them anywhere!

Lindy ~ *hugs*

I boiled today too here in Nor Cal. I got the last of my b/w done for my RE appt and then visited 8 houses that are up for rent that Cap'n found on Craigslist. There are 3 I really like from the outside and am hoping to set appts up for (to see the inside that is) - all have 4 bedrooms (scrapbooking studio, here I come!) and I like the inside of one of the two houses I toured today but it is just a tad far for my taste but Cap'n loves it and is juiced about the low rent. It really is in the cutest neighborhood but just like my current neighborhood, the schools suck. Luckily, I won't have children going there or will I be teaching there - end of story.

Well here she comes, just some spotting this morning. I'm sure she'll be full blown by lunch time. Oh well, and darn it. In the back of my mind I did have a little bit of hope since we timed it so well. I guess I'll get shopping this morning, Preseed, B6, and a new glow in the dark bbt! Yay!

DH's sister is getting married this weekend, her bridal shower is tonight, and I have to do games, any ideas? I'm doing the how well do you know your groom and I need one more.

What a bummer.

Mary - you could do the toilet paper wedding dress game. Sorry about AF - we're cycle buddies Yay for DH winning some the GCs - definitely use them for a BBT! I think our boat can get up to around 40 mph... I can drive it when we're out on the water - but I can't dock it to save my life... I keep telling DH to teach me early in the season before any other boats are in the marina but we missed it again this year.

Mel - you've never vegged like broccoli on the couch? Yay for getting the rest of the b/w done. So you and Cap'n are planning on renting for awhile now?

Lindy - we understand why you haven't been keeping up with us... you have alot going on and its important that you take care of yourself right now. Sometimes things work out for a reason and I'm glad to see you're relieved that you didn't get pg.

Claire - glad to hear that you and DH had a good time... sometimes we really just need to get away from the problems for a little while and then tackle them with a fresh outlook. I like the dip stips better too.

Irene-sorry about AF, but I am glad you were able to enjoy the 4th and that is wonderful news about your aunt!

Mary-I don't know how long you've been TTC or charting but I think that having a longer LP this cycle and that great progesterone number is a good sign!! Sorry about the spotting though, the beginning of AF is the WORST when you are TTC.

Lindy-*hugs*

Rebecca-I need to check out your vaca pics!

Claire-sounds like the long weekend is just what you needed.

JJ-I hope you get some info from those clinics soon! Another good thing about temping right now is that we don't have to use condoms all the time, which we hate!

My temps have been unusually high the last couple of days. I think it may be because I sleep with a pillow over my head during the hour that Dh wakes up before me.

__________________

Well my bff lost her baby at 8 weeks and had a D&E today. She was insistent that we not not TTC this month because of her but DH and I decided to take a more casual approach. No temping, no timing, if it happens it happens.

Irene/Mary- Sorry about AF what a witch

Lindy- Thanks for checking in. HUGS

Claire- Glad you got some veg time.

Bina- Hope this cycle will be quick! One more to go!

Rac- NO real update here. AF was a *&^& this month. Onto the next cycle.. Glad your vacation was awesome. We MISSED you!

Christie~I'm sorry to hear about your friend.

Bina~I hear you on that!

Mary~Sorry about AF.

Mel~Sounds nice about having a scrapbook studio. I've taken over a corner of the family room to work on my books, but I keep my stuff in a different room to keep it looking cleaned up.

Lindy~Sorry to hear things aren't going well.

Claire~Glad to hear you had a good weekend!

Irene~Nice boat! I love being on the water.

Our electricity went out for a few hours last night. It's back now, but I have to go around and reset the clocks!

__________________

Oh yeah she's back.

Bina - We have been off bcp since 12/06, but didn't start temping until 4/08. I'm really starting to wonder if Irene doesn't have a good point. The stress that I put on myself as soon as I started knowing actually when I was Oing. But I also lack in the CM department. We'll see. I know that God will bless us when were ready.

Irene - LOL, that is so me! I back the boat in the water, I crusie it through the water, but I do not park! And DH doens't really even want me trying. That's fine by me though, one less thing to have to worry about. YAY! a cycle buddy.

Mel - I'm not sure if the IC are a regular item at Target or not. But I'm going back today to pick up both packs if there still there. Do you want me to send you one of them. It would be no problem.

Ok I guess our plan is to get on the vitamins, pray, do it only during O time. And try not to think about it. LOL.. Yeah, wish us luck.
