Sorry... what a Debbie Downer I was in my last post!!! It's been a weird weekend for me so far... my Golden gave me a scare last night. I walked outside for a few minutes, came back inside and noticed she had helped herself to the trashcan... right after I threw out a slice of pie that had chocolate coating on the crust. So... called the vet, and they said it really isn't enough to do anything (maybe an oz of chocolate), but to observe her for signs of sickness. She is my baby, so of course I've been beating myself up over throwing it in the trash. She never gets in the trash, but of course the one time she does...
Okay... sorry... needed to get that off my chest. She seems okay, but I'll be hanging around the house watching her today. Does AF come when the temp drops below the cover? I guess I should look at some charts on FF to educate myself. Could my temp be that high because of the stress of last night? Rac - I am having troubles seeing your chart... it just says IE can't display webpage. I think I created a homepage... let me know if it works. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Mare - Yes, generally after your temp takes a dive is when you see AF.
Melissa - Click on Mare's ticker. It will take you to her chart. I don't have any idea why my chart is acting up. Let me check. |

Well...
Well, broke down and tested...I think it was a BFN (or a faulty test). There was a slight evap line early on (it had absolutely no color to it). Of course it had to be my last test! I'm doubtful, but if AF doesn't come in a few days I'll go out and buy another one (or wait until my doc appt next week). I think next time I'm going with the digital.. no need to hold it up to every single light source in the house to examine it... lol.
Oh well, I hope AF comes soon so I can start the next cycle. I'm a little bummed, but I wasn't expecting a positive. It was only my first month back on Clomid. My Golden is doing well, so I'm happy about that.

Mare - I'm glad your dog is okay. I think for chocloate to make an impact on a dog that size, it would have to be alot.
Evaps don't happen until the test dries. I hope it was just a bad test. |

Thanks... I read so much about it last night, about how it depends on the type of chocolate and everything. Baker's chocolate and dark chocolate are pretty potent, so I was trying to figure out what type was on the crust. I think I read the exact same information written 20 different ways. lol. They said for milk chocolate, she would have to eat a couple pounds to create a reaction. DH just laughed at me, saying I'm going to be one of those moms that calls the doctor every time the child sneezes. haha.
The test (first response) had a control line (pink), and then a gray line on the actual test part. This happened within 4 minutes. I'm just going to count it as a negative. I'm now on to mentally preparing myself for the next cycle. Sorry for my last post being negative. The last time I was on Clomid I got pg on the first cycle. I just wasn't counting on getting that lucky again. lol.

It's been a LONG while since I posted anything, but I constantly read up on you girls and check to see how everyone is doing.
I fell off track when J and I had our second miscarriage in November. It was hard for me to post anything to anyone, because I was so consumed in my sorrow. I still kind of am. But I am doing better. My sister in law had my new nephew on 5-18, which was kind of bittersweet for me. We had found out we were pregnant right around the same time, but she was 4 weeks ahead of me, so when I found out my nephew was on his way, it brought up all the old feelings of losing my baby. I am thrilled to have a new bundle to love on, but it's really made me realize just how much I want a lil bundle of my own. I am still debating whether or not I want to continue on the pill until after the wedding in October, or if I want to say to hell with it, go off the pill now, and start trying again. Part of me wants to wait, but at the same time, I want to be pregnant. I'm not worried about not being able to fit in my dress or anything, because the wedding is close enough that even if I got pregnant next month, I wouldn't be showing yet. So, that's not an issue for me. I am just so damn scared of having another miscarriage, that I don't know if I really want to even try again....but then I get that feeling in the pit of my stomach that aches and yearns for a baby and tells me to get over the fear and just go for it. I asked J how he felt about it, and he told me that it was up to me. That it's my body and I'm the only one that will know when I'm ready. I told him that it wasn't up to just me, because this is a partnership and we are in this together. I love that man. He is more concerned with my feelings about all this than his own.....although, he isn't the type to really voice his opinion much......lol. He was talking about one of the girls that he works with brought in her baby tonight, and he said that she was so stinking cute, if he could have he would have taken her and brought her home.....it was really adorable the way he said it.....so I know that being a dad is important to him. I guess part of me worries about what people will think of J and I trying when we aren't married....I don't know.....I have so many thoughts running around in my head I don't even know where to put them.............. So, I may be back on the TTC wagon....I'm not entirely sure yet though.... ***ETA*** Rebecca......I'm eager for you to POAS as well!!

Angel (Jen, right?) - It's good to see you back. I know exactly what you're feeling right now. I went through the same exact thing. You want to ttc, but the fear of another m/c consumes you. You are the only one who knows when the right time will be. You'll feel it in your gut. Although, the fear of m/c will never go away.

Rebecca~Your chart is looking good! I hate this part of the 2ww-anxious to find out if I am, but not ready for the grief and depression if I'm not. I'm feeling a little crampy this morning. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing...
AngelBaby~I hear you on being afraid of ttc again. Every now and then I get this panic feeling of, "Why am I doing this?", but ultimately the want of a baby overpowers that. Have you had any type of testing to see what caused the miscarriages? Mare~How is the dog doing? Our dog got into a plate of brownies once. Since we weren't the ones who made the brownies, we had no idea what kind of chocolate was in it. So, the vet decided to "induce vomiting" just to be safe. Poor dog...and an expensive plate of brownies at that!

My dog is doing okay. She did have a little diarrhea last night, which was probably from the chocolate. But she is fine now
 Angelbaby - I know how you feel. My DH and I miscarried back in July, and we are just now getting back on the horse. I'm scared to be happy about it, but I just keep myself focused on the end result. We will all get there Rac -- me too... Inquiring minds want to know!! Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day, goils!
Mare ~ Finally got a chance to see your chart, temp hasn't dropped below the c/l yet, there is still a chance. Glad to see doggy is okay Rebecca ~ I still love your chart and I'm not a POAS pusher either, more of a chart stalker, but when are you planning on testing again? Tomorrow??? Jen ~ I've missed you *hugs* I don't have anything to contribute to the m/c conversation, I can't even get pg (yet), but I'm so sorry that it happened to you and all the other girls. How are the wedding plans coming along?

I'm back!
What a wonderful weekend! I love the long weekends!
Ok DH is asking that this be short. (I'm such a slow reader) Claire - Guns, all by yourself! You are brave! Mel - Good luck with the lesson, I'm sure you'll do great! Mare - Was the test old? And I'm glad your dog is ok. About the DH and MIL discussing when you and DH should ttc, I don't think so. My MIL even though she knows how long we have been trying, she always is saying, oh I can't wait for us to have our own little one. Since of course everyone of our cousins, just pops them out right and left, and there like the example of people who will NEVER been responsible enough for parenting. So I didn't temp all weekend, I figured with the Miller lite in my system it wouldn't actually be accurate. I'm glad to get back to my routine and use the rest of my OPKs. We have one more tube of seed, so will try to put good use to it. I hope to post more later,

K so DH update... We talked, alot, over these last few days. I'm still really not sure where the whole MIL intervetion thing came from, but DH admitted that he ws a Momma's Boy, and just wanted her "ok". Funny thing is, she's been asking us when we were going to, and he told me that he knew that??? Idunno what thats all about, but anyway!
Well... Here goes for me trying to catch up...Sry I missed so much and I hope that I remember everything and everyone. Mare, isn't it nuts how nuts we get over our 4 legged friends?? And I'm Sry about the BFN! Still hopeful for you.... Go get another! Wow.. all this advice ove Dh... and it all makes so much sense. I was looking at the Fertility Reciepe today and he called me Betty Crocker?? I def thinks its just getting to be too much for him to handle. I already started putting things away, so that they not so in his face everyday. Hopefully this will work... Claire, TY! I know that he def scared. We went to c Luke (Crystal's baby) last night and he was freeking out. Crystal was laughing at him and talking to him, Her DH was really good about it too. I think that helped alot. We'll see. Maybe a few more visits and a few weeks older and he'll hold him?? We'll see! Oh and I agree w/ on on PS. I Love You! I was angry in the end that I stayed up till 3am watching it... Lindy, It made me think too much of my cousin's recent death, and the things that he did for the girls b4 he left... Kinda made me angry?? Rac... I'm w/ Becky.... POAS!!!! Oh and I'm so w/ u on DH & MIL... I can handle DH well bc he's my DH, but MIL... Lucky for me, she's on my side for this one.. Now if only we can carry Dh to our side? (Kinda weird for me that she's even aware of out sex life, but whatever...) Angel, Welcome Back, and Good Luck! I hope that you find comfort within your journey soon and not that i'm a pro of it, (maybe we can help each other), but don't worry about what others say! Things will work out in whatever it is that you choose to do. Mary, Funny that DH asks you to hurry... he does it to me all the time. He and Cry's DH were talking about you guys last night and we just sat back and laughed. It was great! Anyway, about DH and MIl... again, I was so confused too bc she is always so for it... It's just an issue he has, and will hopeuflly get over soon. I think that he's alteast headed in the right direction. Oh and about temping... I didn't since CD1. I've been temping vag, and I just couldnt get myself to temp w/ AF here... I hope it doesn't matter?? Steph, Thanks. I think that you're right on w/ him. Lindy, I wish I knew... I don't think that any time will ever be the "right" time if you KWIM... But NOW is the time that i'm ready... so we'll see... Wish me luck w/ him! Becky, Me too. I think that him telling me June was a step in the right direction. I kinda had my heart set on being pg by Aug anyway, so that still gives me time, not to mention that June is my next O anyway. Who does he think he is fooling Mel, Funny thing is, I think that MIL is the only one who does know that we're even trying... This is y it's so hard for me to wonder why he's upset about it. It's one of those well mommy said I can... so i'm not going to?? Who knows. Irene, Yes! You hit it right on... Def weird! Jeepers!!! I feel like i'm running in circles, but it's been a few days, and I really wanted to let everyone know what was up. So, I've decieded that whatever it is that he's doing, or not going to do... I'm still going to move on w/ life as if I'm TCC (all the while, hoping that I am TCC). I'm at CD 5 (i think), just started vitex and B complex today, feeling really good about myself.( I also think AF is gone)! DH and I have had 4 days to be together, and it was def time needed. We had a blast together and I really think that it helped. If we can get through this upcoming weekend (My Mom is coming to visit from LA), I think we'll be fine. DH alwasy gets so uptight w. her around bc she smokes so much, and so likes to walk outside w/ her socks on then on our new carpets. DH is so protective over the things he buys... |
