Betsy-BIG HUGS! I hope at least the cramping has gotten better. That is great news about Carlos' count! I really believe that you are on your way to a sticky bean.

Lauren-That's a great progesterone number. I can't wait for your beta. Really hope the cramping is those embies implanting themselves for a cozy stay. Love the new signature!

Jen-That's great about the 2 heartbeats!

Karyn-It never fails we have the best laid plans and our bodies decide to O early. However, I usually get EWCM 2-3 days before I O. So may be you'll still O on time and get the preseed.

Snowie-I can't believe it a BFP. I'm caustiously excited for you. I hope you are able to get into the OB right away and they can help you get a sticky bean. I'm thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way.

Nothing new on this end. Kind of had a quiet weekend which is nice! Hi to everyone!

Good morning all~
Hope everyone has had a nice weekend! DH got up early to help a guy build a storage building, so he is gone all day. I am planning to decorate the tree in the formal living room and set up my Christmas Village. I will be so happy to have all of the Christmas up and the boxes put away.

Kelly~ Thank you. You are very sweet.

Bets~ I am so sorry yesterday was so difficult. I hope it slows down today. *hugs* I think you need to go pick up Snowie and drag her to your RE.

Tammi, Robin, & Jenna~ Thanks so much girls! I do love you all coming to chat with us!

Steph~ Did you release the balloons?

Snowie~ I want this to work so badly for you. I pray that your bean is really sticky. Will you go to your obgyn tomorrow for a beta?

Hello all, hope December brings us many unexpected surprises!

Snowie - congrats! 9 dpo is really early to get a BFP. I know you're going to be extremely cautious, but I have a good feeling about this one.

Jen - yay to two heart beats! So happy for you.

Betsy - hope you're doing better today. Hugs.

Lauren - thinking of you and hoping those little embies are implanting away!

Well, I'm coming to terms with being out of the game for awhile girls. I am on CD30 and got a BFN yesterday. Some brown spotting. So I am 99% sure I'm out for this cycle, which means I'm out until next spring. It's sort of difficult for me to come to grips with the idea that I am really not going to be pregnant until April at the earliest. I mean, zero chance. I know time passes quickly, but it's kind of hard to give up on a dream, even if it's just temporary. Juan said to me the other night that he was really hoping that I'd be pregnant before he left. I wanted so much to give him that gift for christmas, but I won't be able to this year. I know we're going to be okay, and that baby or no baby, we still love each other very much. It's just a little heartbreaking...

Hi All~
It is quiet here today...

Em~ I'm so sorry... I wish this weren't so difficult. I am so thankful that you and Juan have each other, and that your relationship is strong. I try remind myself EVERY day how lucky, and blessed, I am despite what I feel is missing. I know you do the same. *hugs*

Lisa~ Thank you! I am happy to see you!

Snowie~ I am thinking of you... please update us when you can.

Lauren - Yep - It sure is quiet around here today! How are you feeling?? Just one more week till your beta, huh??

Emily - I can imagine how upsetting it is knowing that you have to wait so long, but it's really not that long, only a few months. I actually checked your chart this am, hoping that you've been sneaking a temp here and there (you did buy a new bbt, right?), but nothing. I hope the spotting stops so you can have your Christmas present.

Snowie - How are you doing??

Karyn - Heidi - Jo - Steph...... HI!!

I need a favor..... I need you girls to keep my friend's son in your prayers. He's 8 years old and is having his gallbladder removed today. When my friend was pg, she found out that the baby's intestines were growing on the outside of his body. One hour after he was born, he went into surgery. Everything fit back inside of him (with the removal of the appendix) and they even made him a belly button, but recovery for a preemie with surgery was rough. Anyway, here we are, 8 years later and his gallbladder is calcified and completely full of stones (probaby related to the problem during gestation), so they're removing the whole works.

Oh Rebecca, poor little boy. I will keep him in my prayers.

And a BBT is the one thing I didn't buy again! I'm temp free until my RE tells me otherwise. It's kinda sucked wondering when I ovulated this month, but I'm certainly not going to temp while Juan is gone. I was getting hopeful because I made it to CD30, but I saw the spotting and my hopes flew out the window.

Good morning or I guess now afternoon. Work has been so crazy I don't get to check in as often. Nothing new on this end.

Snowie-Waiting to here more from you!

Rebecca- I hope your friend's son does ok. I will be thinking of him.

Lauren-Hope all is good for you.

Emily - Yea, I know what you mean about temping. I picked my bbt up this weekend just to see what was going on so I know when to expect AF. I thought I O'd Saturday.....but my temp dropped back down to 97.7 today. I guess no O yet. We even bd'd Saturday.... This one supplement that I take once in a while does funky stuff to my cycle and delays my O. I think I'm going to quit taking them.

Thanks girls. I'll keep you posted on Cam's progress. I'm hoping to hear from my friend soon.

Emily big hug, sorry I know the let down, but maybe the break will be good in its on way, and when he returns bam!


Betsy totally understand how bad it is, the last two months have been awful for me too. I dread Elmo because it is even hard to work, I just need to move my desk in the bathroom.

Thanks Lauren.

Snowie - I am praying this is it for you!

Steph - Glad you & DH had your own special way of remembering.

Heidi - No preseed yet but that's ok. Maybe it will come today & I can give it a whirl tonight. Sometimes I will have EWCM for a day and other cycles it will be for 3 days. I'm just glad I didn't O early!

Lauren - I'm so glad to hear your progesterone level was good! Cristina did an amazing job with your picture, it's beautiful!

Emily - I'm sorry about the spotting.

Betsy - Sorry about your rough day yesterday, I hope you are doing better today.

I did the post-coital this morning. The nurse said it looked good and the spermies were moving just fine. I guess I will hear the rest later today. What else do they tell you, just the ph level? I also made an appt. for the 12th to discuss what/if anything is next.

Saturday night I had a blast! We had an awesome dinner and the bar downstairs from the restaurant had a band. They played old rock & roll. So about 8 vodka tonics later, we got home at 3. My alarm went off at 7........heck no, shut it off & went back to sleep. I woke up at 9. I was supposed to be at SIL at 8:30. SIL ended up calling & saying that MIL wasn't coming until 10:00! Thank the Lord for that one!!! I felt fine by the time I got there, after 2 cups of coffee and a huge bagel! Then I ate almost half bag of cheetos there. My nephews were looking at me like "Why are you eating all my cheetos?" I am the hungover snacker big time!

Karyn, I'm glad you had such a good time! I drank two bottles of wine this weekend myself, but over such a long period of time that I didn't even feel drunk. Also glad the post-coital came back with good results!
