ALRIGHT... I won't Test! Maybe I'll talk to dh tonight and tell him to wait this week out... He'll only be away Wed - Fri, so it should be too hard for him. His HX really scares me, which is Y I always tell him that he's broken Guess we'll see... I'm so glad you guys pointed this out! I need to shop more (or maybe just in different depts).

Ashley- You are too funny! Step away from the test! I am blessed about the 1 day AF but isn't kinda strange that it was only 1 day! I have never had a short 1 day period. It is always 3 days, 1st day really light, second day i want to die, and 3rd day spotting and day 4 all gone! I am very thankful, so tonight we are going to BD. And the test says to "fast" for 3 days but no more than 5! I would tell DH you got him a present, and say "Hey BAAABy I would like your spermies in this cup" and say this is your broken test! Then you will know if he is broken! We had fun with it!

Does anyone ever want to get a microscope and check out the sperm for yourself? I guess I am strange bc I want to see his sperm in action for myself!

Thats Great!! I never thought of it, well prob bc I've only ever thought of them as broken. I'm going to mention it to him when I get home tonight and see if he's willing this weekend. This could be fun!!

Hello goils! Had a busy weekend over here...FIL came to town and we celebrated Cap'n's birthday by going into San Fran for a show, Beach Blanket Babylon and dinner at a Brazilian restaurant right around the corner (Becky, I would add that show on the list of things to see when you come out this summer & that show is right around the corner from the restaurant I recommended, Joe DiMaggio's Chop House). Today we went car shopping. I got to test drive the VW Tiguron (eh), the Nissan Murano (nice, but little trunk space, not enough for my scrapbooking stuff), left the Toyota lot in minutes after seeing the sticker price of the highlander, not like the Rav4 and a completely incompetent sales person. No new car yet but we like the Honda Pilot and CRV, so we'll see. We're going to wait until school is over. No sense in getting a new car for the students to F*** up.

Lindy ~ Sounds like you had a great birthday, happy belated birthday!

Ashley ~ Are you going to test tomorrow, you said? How are you feeling?

Well, I saw red today, so I am calling today CD1. Only 6 days of spotting before AF...wonder how much I'll spot after AF...

Wow Mel, Wish I could say I had such a nice weekend. I'm so tired of not being able to enjoy my time with DH bc of parties or work related issues. I'm really hoping that things work out for me at the hospital tomorrow when I go talk to the one manager. I really want to get out of there and just focus on my subbing and summer camp... oh and trying to find a FT placement. We'll see what happens tomo. I'll still have to stay per diem so that I can have some ins, but anything is better than every other weekend. Anyway, I'm not sure if i'll test tomo or not. I'm going to see what my temp look like. If I do, it'll be at 6:30 right after I temp prob (unless i'm super tired still) I'm kinda nervous and don't wanna temp tomo, but I know that this is a critical point. Who knows... I didn't test tonight, so that itch is still there...

Well my cramps went away, my temp went down, and I'm still clueless on why AF is this early. Since I really haven't been tracking my cycles, I'm not sure if I've ever had one this short. But I know I've had a few short ones, so this must be it.

If this would of been implactation bleeding, I wouldn't of had cramps right?

Ashley - Good luck! I am praying for you and a BFP! And a high temp this morning. It sounds like you have the right symptoms! Keep us posted today!

Lindy - Weird, AF! That is pretty similar to my cycle, rough at first and then downhill and nothing. I'm glad you had nice birthday, you deserved it!

RAC - Thanks for the feedback yesterday, DH and I were just shocked when we got home and noticed the spotting. I think he's starting to get this, kind of. LOL How are you feeling? Any more discomfort in the ovaries?

Ok ladies I got up way to early, but I was so worried about this darn AF problem I have! Going to go lay back down.

Ugh!! SO My temp totally dropped this am. I'm so mad! I was having such a great cycle too. Oh well! I keep telling myself that our goal is August. Hopefully by then....

Anyway, I just talked to one of my co-wkrs at the hospital in my per dem dept, and I left a v-mail for my mgr to call me about letting me go strictly per diem and leaving the ER. I'm psyched bc she said she would love to have me. Now I just need to get all the technicalities out of the way.

I wish I could just lay in bed all day... I'm super tired, DH was up at 330, but snored all night, so I never really slept. He will be home tonight however, so maybe we can make it an early night! Oh and did I mention that its back in the mid 40's and rainy! I'm just glad I didn't get called to sub

Good morning ladies! Today is my HSG and I'm really nervous. DH started a new job today so we were both anxious all weekend. It was nice though because we got to spend alot of time together relaxing since he wanted to start this morning off bright and early.

Ashley - sorry you felt abandoned... I wish I could have been here to cheer you up on your boring rainy sunday but I rarely get on the computer over the weekends. That stinks that your temp dropped but its still above the coverline so I'm holding out a little hope for you. LOL about DH's broken swimmers... I'm sure they're fine but it wouldn't hurt to get them checked.

Mary - I don't know what to think about your cycle. It wouldn't matter so much if you had Oed earlier but your LP was not long enough for implantation to occur and with the temp drop I would definitely say that its AF not IB. Hopefully this is just an aberrent cycle but if you track a few more like this you definitely need to have some bloodwork done.

Mel - I'm glad you had a good weekend. It made me laugh that you're choosing your car's trunk size based on your scrapbooking stuff. You had a pretty short LP this cycle too.

Lindy -
Happy belated birthday! I'm glad you had a good time. I've heard of those at home S/As but I've also heard what Rebecca said - you usually have to go to a doctor anyway to confirm the results. I think its a good idea to get it checked just in case.

Rebecca - I think my DH was going on a week when he did his S/A... was Brad's test okay when he went 13 days?

Deanna -

Ashley - Um, if you hardly slept at all last night, that would be a good reason for your temp to be a little lower. Hang in there.

Mary - Yea, it really did drop, huh? Let's keep an eye on those cycles for the next couple of months. You know, it's not terribly unusual for someone to have an anovulatory cycle once in a while.

As for me, no, no more pains anywhere. I honestly feel nothing.

Lindy - right click on it and save it to your computer. then in the profile section, edit avatar - choose browse under option 2 to upload it from your computer.

Mary - Rebecca has a good point that its possible you had an anovulatory cycle. If thats the case, better that it was extra-short than extra-long!

Rebecca - I'm glad your pain is gone. Fingers crossed for you!

anovulatory cycle?

Irene - I'm sorry I didn't resond to this earlier. The cheese lasgna rolls, too easy, boil your lasgna noodles, mix together ricotta, parm, prov, mozz, or what ever you have, an egg, parsley? and roll them up put some spagetti sauce on top, cook for 20-25 minutes and your done. I hope that make sence?

Oh how much I hate AF!!!!

Mary - Anovulatory = no ovulation. It's fairly common.

Irene~Thanks for making that for me! G/L at your HSG today. I'm sure it will all go fine!

Well, i'm getting some twinges in the middle to my left side of my stomach. I am getting CM now too. I'm on Cd11 so thats about right. I usually O about CD15-17. BD has started I'm not hopeful for this cycle. Almost feel like i've kinda given up until I do the lap. I'm praying I don't need to do the lap, but who knows. So we'll see!

Hope everyone has a good Monday!!!

Do you think all of this stress I'm putting on myself is causing this?

Irene-Good luck toay with the HSG. Hope it goes well and it's too much pain!

Irene - OMG I can't believe I forgot about your hsg! Good Luck!!

Mary - Really, it's quite common. Just watch to be sure it's not a recurring thing. Last months cycle was a reasonable length, so this might have just been some fluke.
