Mary - Exercising while ttc and during pregnancy are encouraged. When you get pg, you don't want to get fatigued. You want to keep a pace that is decent enough to burn, but not so much that you can't hold a conversation. I really think that your body will tell you when enough is enough and to slow down.

I think the only thing about exercising while TTC is that you don't want you temperature to go up too high. I don't know why. It's funny, I think we talked about this last month. So, it should still be in everyones mind. You might want to ask RAC! She really is very smart! I am exercising now and I haven't noticed a difference so I don't know. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Nevermind: RAC posted the same time I did! I guess she answered you question better!

You all have such huge hearts!


Rac - What is a fertilty color? I'll wear white tomorrow too! That is sooo exciting!

Mel - That's awesome about the interview! Even if it just was a phone interview, if you thought it went well, they did too!

Clarie - I wish my DH even knew what O was? Let alone ask me when it's coming. If I say O, he usually will say "that's enough about that" And yes I'm getting sick over the love seat comment. LOL

Mare - Thanks! You sound like you have a good hold on things, keep up the positive attuitude. And yes I so hate that everyone of my friends, family, and co workers, just mention that there thinking about kids, and BAM! their pg! And to think I thought it was going to be that easy too! Darn it!

Ok ladies, DH and I BD this morning and he has his boss coming over for dinner tonight. So the likely hood of us BD tonight, is probably out of the question. Don't ya love the 2 o'clock phone call, "oh I forgot to tell you Chris is coming over tonight, what are we having" WTH is that about???

Good thing I already had kaboobs on the menu. As long as this rain holds out.

Oh which means, DH and friend, me on computer, or well I guess I could do some laundry. LOL

Mary - A few months back we all chose a color to represent us at certain times. My color is white. the thread is in the IF forum if you want to check it out.

Mary - I know what you mean about thinking pregnancy would come immediately. When my husband and I were dating I took BCP, and I would freak out if I missed one... I was positive that i would get pregnant. Now I think back and laugh at myself... I wish it was that easy!! lol.

Thanks for the feedback regarding exercise, Rebecca and Lindy.

Mare- I know exactly what you mean about how worried I was about getting pg. As far as excercise, I think that if you already work out on a regular basis, then you can keep doing what you're doing. If you are a ginormous fat a** like me, the general idea is not to start training for a marathon out of no where, KWIM? I'm glad you seem to have such a great handle on the PCOS. That's awsome.

Mary- What's up with that? Does he think you are June Cleaver or something? LOL. My DH knows something like that would result in me saying "gee honey, I guess we are having whichever brand of pizza you want to pick up"! Hope it all goes well.

Claire ~ You crack me up. Yeah, that was the job of only teaching one class of AP Bio. But they did mention that they were going to put up more job postings for Biology. I'll just apply for those too. Ideally, I would be teaching 4-5 classes, 1 AP Bio and 3 or 4 Biology. I was talking to Cap'n on the phone today and he said, "You know you could teach at 80% [I teach at 100% now] and probably make the same amount you do now." Lighten the load for the same pay? Teach the same load for more pay? Not too shabby, I say!

You guys have been talkative today!

Ashley~Unfortunately they took a blood test (to test progesterone levels I think) to see if I ovulated and it was negative. She also didn't see a corpus luteum or fluid on my ovaries, which also would have indicated o. I've been getting some ewcm, so maybe it's still coming. I just read someone on here o'd a week late on clomid. So maybe that's still possible. Who knows?

Rebecca~I used to temp, but she told me I didn't need to anymore. Temping was causing me too much frustration and lack of sleep, so I gave it up. It was stressing me out more than it was helping! I'm really impressed by what clomid did for you! THat's great! Good luck tomorrow!

Mare~Welcome! I was told to exercise while ttc and pg, just to make sure I could still talk while exercising and it wouldn't be overdoing it. While pg, they said not to do exercise that I couldn't stop myself on (like downhill skiing) and to just be careful after a few months because my center of balance would be off. Otherwise, exercising is ok.

Mel~Glad the interview went well. I hope they offer you the job and then add more classes to it! Although, working less for the same amount of money sounds good to me! LOL

Wow you chics were chatty today. Sry I couldn't keep up. I had classes all day w/ only one planning pd, and then Girl Scouts w/ my Lil-Sis. They talked me into taking my own junior troop next yr, and i'm super psyched. I'd love to plan lots of activities and fundraiser's so that I could take them somewhere awesome on a field trip... like out of state for a few days or something. We'll see... SO ANY ideas you ladies have for me would be greatly appreciated. I need crafts, fundraiser's, field trips... you name it???
Anyway, I just posted this am's temp and it went back up?? Dunno what that means, but it's not down so I guess af's staying away for a few more days... or with any luck all together

Claire, you kill me. I wanna bring you to NOLA where I grew up. I remember moving from there to NY and my friends being beside themselves at the things I would say or how I would treat ppl... Life in these crazy cities are nuts!! But def fun and interesting!!! And not smkoing is def something to report... Congrats Girlie!!! you're beyond the hard part, so it should be smooth sailing from here on out.

Mare, Welcome... oh and how was dinner??

Lindy, Yeah for you being happy for you friend through all of this. We will def pray for her, and you r hysterical w/ your jo rules for dh... Luv it! Oh and glad to hear you're not moving on out... So weird but I've been thinking of doing the same thing. I'm just not sure what room I want to turn into the nursery yet???

Mary, we don't want you or Lindy to stay away... Good Luck!

Rac, YEAH for big follies!!! I'm still praying for you. I have great vibes for you and this iui cycle!!! Babydust and more Babydust your way!!!!

Bina/Rac... What's a fert color??? Ooh... I get it now n/m. Good thing I just ironed my white skirt for work tomo huh?? It was ment to be bc I did that b4 I even came on to check posts. I'm telling ya Rac... I've got great vibes about these little biggies!

Mel... Yeah for the interview! Wishing you great luck for this position. I know what Cap'n is feeling... I'm stuck in that riven and really need to find a job. DH is beyond frustrated w/ me, but he also doesn't understand that I don't have control of the situation. There just are way too many teachers and not enough jobs here... So we'll see what happens.

JJ, Hopefully this is the case. I'm glad that you at least you have Dr who's willing to test and help give you answers. It really sux not knowing. I've still to find any dr who will talk to me until I have been "actively" trying for over a year... whatever that's suppose to mean, esp bc I can only try to try when dh is home, but they don't ever want to hear it... (Sry for venting... I'm just starting to get frustrated myself). Ugh!

Oh well... I just came back from Barnes and Nobels, and can't wait to startmy new book... (I went to get the shopaholic books but I couldn't fig out which one I needed to read first, so I'm waiting). I just got The Memory Keeper's Daughter. There were written reviews on the shelf that said it's a love/sad/tissue book, so we'll see. I'll let you know...

Holy cow this place has been busy today! Hi girls...thanks for the input on my b/w results. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get PG this month so I don't have to have the lap!

Rebecca- yeah for the big follies!! I'll be wearing white for you tomorrow!! Good luck and lots of babydust to you!!

Claire- good job on the nonsmoking...I can't even imagine how hard that must be. Way to go!

JJ- I hope you O soon! I know it's hard to be patient.

Mare- hi and welcome to the group. You will love it here!

Hi to everyone else. Have a happy humpday tomorrow!

Rebecca~Yay for 3 large follies. You did respond well to the clomid! Are you just on 50mg? I'm wearing white today for you! I'll keep my fingers crossed that all goes great!

Becky~I"m with you on the "I hope I get pregnant so I don't have to do the lap" i've been thinking about it a lot lately. I'm just so sick of the spotting and now the odd pains during AF. I hope we both get pregnant soon!

Well, I bought the flights last night for DH and I. So excited to go to Mexico! Its still 2 months away too. A little twist in plans happened though b/c the other couple we're going with....they broke up! But they're still going together. So we'll see how that goes! Hope everyone has a good Hump Day!

Rebecca- I will wear a white hair band today for you bc it is raining cats and dogs here today. I would prefer not to have a wet t-shirt contest . I will continue praying for you. I hope today will be the beginning of a nine month wait!

My dang temp dropped today, so I guess I wasn't able to get PG this cycle. I am really bummed out bc now AF will shine through for my birthday and be full force on it. That sucks! I was hoping for some BD this weekend. Well, I guess it gives me hope for the next cycle. Ok, well I have tons to do today! So, I will try to stay caught up on here but I have to do cookie deliveries today. Oh, and DD goes on a limo ride to Ci Ci's Pizza bc she sold so many cookies! She gets to ride in a limo before I ever have! She is so excited! TTYL Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Good morning girls! I missed alot yesterday I see...

Rebecca - yay to 3 ginormous follies!!! I didn't see the post until today but at least I'm wearing a white bra I also have my bracelet on which has white and pink for you and Lauren!! I'm really praying for you today.

Mel - I'm glad the phone interview went well. Thats great that they even have other classes that you can apply for so you don't have to get another job on the side. I'll be praying for you especially since the job stress can't be helping anything else!

Deanna - it must feel great to have your flights booked! It should be interesting with the other couple - I hope there's no drama!!

Deanna/Becky - I'm with you ladies - I want to be pg before having to do a lap... even though Claire says its no big deal, I'd rather not have to be sliced and diced so lets pray for all 3 of us!!

Claire - I second everyone who congratulated you on keeping up with the not smoking. I know its gotta be hard but its so good that you're doing it.

Ashley - vent away. I hope you don't even have to find a better doctor because you get pg right away... it does suck when they won't listen to you. I really don't understand the whole try a year thing because if there is a problem than you've just wasted a year.

Mare - Welcome! It sounds like everyone has covered your questions so far. You will love it here because everyone is so helpful...

I know I missed a ton of people but there was too much to catch up on!

I haven't heard back from my doctor with my CD3 b/w yet. That probably means that it wasn't bad though since I'm sure she would have called immediately then. I'll let you know the number when I hear from them.

Edit - Just saw your post Lindy... I checked your chart and the temp drop is still not to the coverline. I will pray that it goes back up tomorrow.

Good morning, goils!!!

Cap'n and I went to a Giants game last night and saw them whoop the Astros' BUTT!!!

Rebecca ~ Just wanted you to know I've got white undergarments on today. I actually have to wear all black because I have to set up a blood spatter lab today in Forensic Science. I don't think I would be too decent afterwards if I wore white, kwim??? Good luck today with the iui, I hope it is as pleasant an experience as the last one was, but with different results.

__________________

Again I really hate my computer at home, I had a great post this morning and then for some reason it freezed up on me.

Well my temp went up YAY, and I offically have my first crossline! Computers are so awesome and thanks to eveyone on here, I won't have to do the Excel spreadsheet that I had orginally first thought about doing.

Dinner last night was AWESOME!!! I love spring and summer, because I love to grill. We had steak, green pepper and onion kabobs, corn on the cob, onion roasted potatoes, and for desert I rubbed on some brown sugar on some pinapple, put it on the grill, and a couple minutes later, heaven in your mouth. YUMMY!!!

But I also found out from DH's boss that we are not ttc right now? What? I haven't been able to talk to DH about this yet. And I'm sure he's just tired of hearing about it from everyone, especially since one of his co-workers wife just got pregnant. But I was speachless when his boss said that. I wanted to say, "no actually we are trying more than we ever had"

Weird.

Praying for you RAC!

I hope we all get BFP this month.

I was thinking that maybe just maybe since my temp went up, but then I remembered that I wasn't feeling that well yesterday and so I probably just have a fever. Only time will tell.

Hope everyone has a wonderful HUMP DAY!!!!
