It's July already so thought I would get the new thread rolling, praying this is the month of many surprises for those of us whom seem to be stuck here. Maybe the fireworks will bring new beginning for us. Best of luck to us all and lots of baby dust!

I'm praying July is a GREAT month for all of us! BABY DUST!

Lisa - It will be nice to have Forrest home for a long weekend! How's your garden? Mine is weedy! I need to get out there sometime this week.

Lauren - Glad to hear your vacation was good. Dang AF, where is the heck is she? I hope she shows soon so you can get moving right along!

I'm confused about my chart. I'm on cd 17 with no ovulation yet? Maybe I won't ovulate this cycle. I had all the signs, but my temps are wacky. I'm off to paint at the campground so I can't obsess to much until I get home!

Have a great day girls!

I can't believe its already July...

Lisa - I'm with you - hoping for BFPs along with the fireworks!

Lauren - I hope AF shows soon. I read in the other thread that your doctor's office thought you forgot to call them... dummies! Did they say anything about her delayed appearance?

Karyn - I'm not sure but if you did O around when you had the EWCM, FF might not have given CH because you didn't have enough pre-O temps charted. But your temps did spike more the last couple of days so maybe you Oed on Sunday although it doesn't match up with your CM...

Well...I actually got some stuff done this weekend. Got rid of a BUNCH of clothes, and filled up the entire trash bin -- I cleared out junk drawers, tossed old dead shoes, floor and shelves in the closet cleared of junk. Yay. I would have done more, but I filled up the trash bin.

I got a very short reply from the woman who I've been talking to in St. Pete about going to work for them. I emailed me resume the other day; the store is less than five miles from my house. She sent a short reply note; I'm a little disappointed - I was hoping for more conversation, something to solidify it more, but she DID say she thought I would make a great addition to their organization, it's just that she said when I'm 'in St. Pete' she'd show me what they did and we'd see if it was a fit. What makes me nervous is I haven't gotten any feedback about money... Can I afford to put all my proverbial eggs in this basket...? Even though the basket seems confident about me, and I DID tell them what I make here, so if that was a big issue, I suppose we might have talked about it more... Ugh, I dunno. I'm scrambling a bit, rolling it over in my head to see if I can take a quickie flight into Tampa (St. Pete) sometime in the next two weeks or so. Oh, ugh, I wish this would have worked out timing-wise better...my dad is leaving this Sunday, flying, and is driving back later in the week w/my grandma's car and some stuff. Argh. I dunno -- it makes me nervous. But they're interested, seemingly very. And I will have a little cash in hand, so it's not like I'd need a paycheck a week after we/I get there in order to survive...I'm babbling. Grrr...Argh. Several large variables right now...tough for me to handle; all this quick decision making and non-mega-planning. Gotta stay outta my head mostly.

Thanks Lauren I am hanging in there like all the rest, Elmo is leaving as we speak so here is the month of July for hopes once more. Sorry he hasn't shown for you, soon, just remember in God's timing not ours, there are reason we don't know and understand, but he knows what is best. Praying....

Kayrn, I have bunches of tomatoes, mostly cherry and grape but some big ones too. My squash plants are gone, only 1 squash off of them. My cucumbers are full of bloom, only had two cucumbers as of yet. I have peppers. I need to pull the grass from under the tomatoes bad, and we still need rain I guess that is why the weeds are not growing so bad this year. Have fun painting, but enjoy yourself too. I hope you get a big surprise so keep bedding.

Hey Irene, we can hope and pray for some good news around here.

Steph, way to go cleaning out, keep it up and quit second guessing yourself. You are doing the right thing!

Thanks! No overthinking...no overthinking. Know what my dad told me there are near my new house (like, wander into the yard close)...PEACOCKS! How cool is that?

Lauren ~ I was THIIIIS close to texting you this weekend to check up on you...you must have been reading my mind.

Still no af... finally got an answer from the dr today and I go tomorrow morning for an u/s to check my lining, etc. *HOPEFULLY* it will all be good, and we can get started. Again.

Lisa~ I know you're right. I try to remind myself of that... but as you know, it is SO hard. I want it now... Well, i wanted it 2 years ago, but now would be good too...

Irene~ They have no idea what is going on. My theory is I have done SO many meds and cycles in the past 2 years, that my body doesnt know if I am supposed to ovulate, or not. I did 3 ivf cycles of trying to stim and create follies to grow, and now with this past deivf cycle of trying to STOP my body from o'ing... my body doesn't know what is going on...

Steph~ *hugs* I love peacocks. I love flamingos.

Karyn~ Thank you!

Bets~ I know. It sucks.

Hope everyone is having a great week... Does anyone have any big 4th of July plans???

Lauren - I hope you get good news from your next dr. visit. Can you get started w/out AF coming if the conditions are right?

Steph - Somehow it will all work out. Stick to your plan.

Lauren - I will be in pink for a good ultrasound. Is your donor still on bcps?

for July 4th we are going up to Big Bear (mountains) we rented a boat for the day see the fireworks from the lake. Of course it just occured to me I need to get a sitter for my furbabies. ACK!!!

Even bought a bathing suit this year. I have not bought a bathing suit in 3 summers. Since I should have been getting pregnant any minute now didn't want to buy a bathing suit that wasn't going to fit. And it was 30% off!!! so super excited.

Steph - That is one of the pluses of moving, getting rid of all the old stuff, we are doing major cleaning out ourselves. Since no crib is going into our room, we are getting a new bedroom set, that will take up all the walls and windows in the room. less space the better I will feel.

Karyn - Try putting in some fake early temps and see if it gives you cross lines.

Good morning!

Irene - Well FF said that I "possibly" O'd on Sunday. I manually changed it, I put that I O'd on Wednesday. My CM & CP doesn't even come close to me O'ing on Sunday. Oh well, it's my first chart back so I'm not going to stress over it..........ya right How is Clomid treating you?

Steph - Yeah for filling a trash bin! Great start! Maybe the lady justs wants to make sure you move to St.Pete's for sure? I could see being a smidge leery because your still out of state. Anyhoo, once they meet you, you will dazzle them anyway, so I'm sure you will have no problems!

Lisa - I planted so late that it feels like it's taking forever! Everything is growing good, I'm just used to by now it being more along. The strawberry plants are coming slowly.....I think. I can't tell if they are the same size or not as when I put them in!

Lauren - Pink today for a great ultrasound, good luck!

Betsy - I did get cross hairs this morning but I don't believe them You 4th plans sound great! How romantic being on a boat all day, just you two Yeah for a new suit, it always feels good wearing a new suit & on-sale too.

No big plans for us, I ordered a boston butt from a neighboring church that I pickup Thursday, hash and sauce. I thought doing that Forrest would not have to cook outside with it being so hot, but he told me this morning to get him some spareribs and chicken to do on the grill. Men who can figure them out, I thought he didn't want to cook. I am going to make some cole slaw, we call it cheese pie (mac and cheese), cut up some melons and maybe make some peach ice cream. Oh one of te ladies here brought me a huge bag of both squash and cucumbers, so those too.

Lauren I don't have on pink today, yesterday was my pink day. But praying for some good news for you today.

Betsy sounds like fun, envy you being out on the boat watching fireworks, have a great time.

Kayrn I replanted so it will take those forever, I know how you feel. Hope you figure out when you O'd soon. Have a great 4th and just relax.....we all need to do that and quit worrying.

Kelly and Irene hi!

Gotta run, year end and work is so busy........

Lisa - peach ice cream... yummmmm! I haven't had that in so long and now I want some.

Karyn - yeah I think you probably did O earlier too but it is weird that your temps keep climbing. I haven't had any real s/e on Clomid yet... seems to me that alot of the girls don't get them bad until the 2nd month on it though so we'll see next month. I'm a little worried since as I posted on the TTC thread my 7DPO progesterone was only 13.5 and I read that most doctors want it above 15... my dr didn't say anything but of course I'm self-diagnosing... damn internet!

Betsy - yay to a new swimsuit. I love being out on the boat with my DH - thats the only place I truly feel comfortable lounging around in a bathing suit since no one else can see me!

Lauren - your theory makes sense... just like when you first come off the pill after being on it for awhile and your body takes awhile to regulate again... since you've had your body at both extremes, its understandable that its confused... I just really hope that things move along for you Hopefully all goes well at your u/s today.

Steph - that is so cool about the peacocks. I'm glad you're starting to get things done... I know it can be overwhelming but you'll get it done and its such a positive move for you!
