Rebecca - I've only had one triphasic chart too and that was my pg cycle. I know you think its the clomid but clomid doesn't always do that, right? I've got everything crossed so we'll see....

Deanna - I can't wait for the Sex and the City movie either. My gfs and I already planned a date to go see it together!!

Rebecca - alright I'm going to shut up now because I know I'm not telling you anything that you're not already thinking yourself. I know how hard it is not to get your hopes up too much. I am strongly pulling for you though and we'll see in a few days.

Thank you, Rebecca. So... would mine be triphasic? Sorry... trying to learn the ropes of charting. Your chart looks excellent!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I can't wait for Sex and the City!! I'm dragging DH to go see it (he owes me... he's picked the last 4 movies..lol).

Mare - Yes, but no. Looking at it the way it is, I'd say yes it's triphasic, but you're not rounding your temps to tenths, so it appears to be triphasic. If you only round your temps to tenths, your chart will be much easier to interpret - but your chart would no longer be considered triphasic because of the 98.2 temp on cds3 and 11.

Generally a temp shift can happen after implantation, causing a rise in temp, but implantation doesn't generally happen till between 7 - 10dpo. Since your temp rise happened on 7dpo, FF won't say it's triphasic (since it's a computer program).

Thanks for the information, Rebecca. I'm learning so much Next cycle I will round them.

Hi Everyone! I'm a bit of a wreck today, so if i'm flaky, forgive me.

Becky- I want to start with you while I'm thinking about you. If your RE is suggesting the lap based on a m/c and a cyst-get a second opinion. If you have OTHER endo symptoms, well that's a little different. Now, as far as medicated cycles w/o the lap, I'll chime in with this opinion (I think this goes for Deanna, too): If you have endo getting in the way of things, I would IMAGINE (I could be wrong) that making big huge follies and multiple eggs and such could result in some nasty cysts. Just a thought. It may just be the difference between one doc and another. That's strange that they don't seem to know anymore than you over at the docs office.

Irene- I HATE mixed signals and things being wonky. I'm in the same boat with ya, girl. Just this AM I was thinking maybe I should try the CBEFM. What is different about it from OPKS? It measures Estrogen, too, right? Are you just supposed to BD when it says "peak"? Is uses urine, too, right? Sorry for so many questions. But even with the lap to screw me up, My cycle seemed pretty regular. Now this cycle I'm so confused. And of course, I havn't O'ed and DH is gone. Although, maybe I O today.....guess I'll know tomorrow.

Rebecca- I'm really on pins and needles for you over here, but I don't want to jinx you, so that's why I'm ignoring your chart and not saying anything. I'm weird like that.

Mare- That's an awfully pretty chart

Deanna- "rocket launching"? ROFLMAO! I haven't stalked your chart yet- I'll try to do that soon. How did ya like the instead cups? I was thinking about them last night while laying there feeling the leaking. No Fair! Am I the only one who leaks while still on my back???

Mel- How's that job coming?

Bina- HI! Heartbeat? how fun!

Warning- the following is LONG-
So, I'm a total mess. I have no idea what's wrong with me. Last night DH and I got into it over him leaving this weekend. . I was just in one of those snippy moods when I got home, and he ASSUMED it was b/c he was going to help his folks and, well, chaos ensued. So, we make-up and get everything sorted out, get to and when we were done he says "oh, that's gonna hurt tomorrow." I really don't know what went wrong, but I guess he had some friction issues. Either hair got caught or lack of lube or something. Well I just LOST it sobbing. I couldn't believe I had HURT him. I just wanted to QUIT TTC right then and there, can't believe we are so crazy about this. Finallly I calmed down and got to sleep.

I wake up hearing gun shots. Now, it's hard to explain where I live.( Especially for Irene in NYC!) But think of an old west movie meets getto street gang. The culture out here is a bit different. I hear gunshots all the time- We live on 40 acres and the nearest grocery store is 40 mi. But I've NEVER heard shots this close-unless WE are the ones shooting.

So we get up, grab OUR guns and start looking out the windows. ( I can imagine ya'll laughing your butts off at us, but it is actually quite real) Finally, I see headlights driving alongside the RR tracks (we live about 600' ,maybe a bit more than a city block from the tracks.) Well, people dont' just have a reason to be there at 10:30 at night.

Finally get to sleep at 11:30. DH left for CO this AM. I'm a total wreck. I realized that I've never been a night in this house without him. So, I just have this terrible feeling and I can't put my finger on it. Is it from last night? DH gone? Dreary drizzly weather? I dunno. And Darn me and my Xena ways.....I told DH I was nervous and he's just like- "well, you have your pistol and your shot gun and tons of ammo. You'll be fine, love ya, bye!" I know me being nervous can't keep him home, but I was hoping for a tiny bit of sympathy. But, no. I'm such a tough guy, he's not even concerned about me taking care of myself.

Thanks for letting me vent........................again.

Claire ~ I'm sorry you're feeling down in the dumps. I couldn't help but laugh though at you and DH jumping up and grabbing your guns with your back next to the window, nodding at each other, whose going to cover who. Did you ever find out what caused that? I'm sorry, though. *hugs*

Okay, so the job thing...just got off the phone with the office manager. Ummm...they want me to come in next Thursday or Friday to teach a lesson! WTF? I have never had to do that before! Apparently I'm in competition with one other person and they want both of us to teach a 20 minute lesson so I will have to take the morning off one day next week. That would really suck if I take an unpaid day and I still don't get the job! It makes me all nervous thinking about this too. I don't get nervous teaching the kids but I get extremely nervous teaching in front of adults. Cap'n found a job posting last night for another school. A little further than what I would like but it is a good school and maybe they won't give me such a hard time as this one!

Mel- I know we sound funny......I only WISH we look like "Mr & Mrs Smith"....Although there are alot of eerie similarities, come to think of it. no, I still don't know what was going on. We've had some issues with some people in particular, so I hope it wasn't specifically directed at us.

I think you should go for it with the audition. Of course you will be nervous and it will be awkward. But it will be for the OTHER person, too, ya know? Maybe you could do a dry run for Capn? And don't get too nervous, b/c there are other openings. It would suck to miss a days pay and not get it-but I doubt that'll happen. If I'd had you for a bio teacher, I probably would have done better than struggling for a
C-!

Well my OPK was positive as well... so I guess I will O tomorrow. Hopefully DH and I can BD as early as possible tomorrow since we can't tonight

Mel - I hope you're not giving up on this job! It does suck that they're making you teach a trial class but I'm sure you'll knock their socks off Hopefully knowing that there are other job listings posted will give you more confidence.

Claire - Sorry but I also laughed at the mental picture of you and DH reaching for your guns. Do you keep them under your pillow or in the nightstand? LOL! I am sorry that you are feeling down. Even though I'm not a "tough guy" like you, I am usually very independent and it can backfire when I want DH to take care of me... he usually gets annoyed and tells me to stop whining.

Yes the CBEFM measures estrogen too so its supposed to give you a couple of days extra notice when it goes from Low to High and then Peak with the actual LH surge. Mine are still really screwy though and sometimes I get so many H's in a row that its not very helpful. And it is expensive - a friend of mine lent me the monitor but its still $30-40 for 30 sticks.

Oh and Claire - I have hurt DH before too... it happens. In fact he has a tiny scar from his zipper during one session where we were fooling around clothed But I know he has hurt me before too (actually that happens more than the other way around) and I don't blame him for it. Get some preseed... and also you could try a brazilian wax

__________________

Irene~Preseed-yes, brazilian wax-HUH-UH! I actually don't think it was MY hair...

I know you guys think we are crazy country wackos! But out here:

Things are a little more, well, rough, I guess. You know that ADT comercial where it's the first night in the new house and the DH sees someone break in the front door, then runs back up the stairs where the wife has ADT on the phone? Yeah, so NOT us! We always laugh at that comercial. And DH always says: "what a p**sy!"- LOL.

Claire- What the h3ll? Gun shots? In a weird round about way, that sounds really exciting! I know maybe it's bc I am from TX where everyone has a gun in their pickups! I can imagine yall running around fully ready to shoot! Why were they shooting? I love the pick. I want to have lots of land when we buy a house. Oh, and if I weren't so far away, I would come and keep you company! I will update everyone on our day today a little later. TTYL!

Claire... I feel you! lol. I live on a farm, and I feel when you are out in the country, guns are a necessity! Beautiful picture btw

Funny story... back when DH and I were newlyweds, I was giving him a BJ. I had a little too much wine, had to sneeze, and thought I would be fine... I guessed wrong. I ended up scraping him with my teeth. Ouch. So, DH played it out as long as he could, until I said, "You're right... I swear I will never give you one again for fear that I will hurt you." The look on his face was priceless...like I had just told a child that his puppy died. He immediately began telling me how it wasn't THAT bad, and he was just kidding. lol. Men are weird creatures. I wouldn't let it bother you.

Better go make dinner. I have no clue what we're having.
