Steph - Told Dh about what I posted, he was mortified. Then about 1/2 a day later we are in the midst of cleaning and he says "is she cute?'. And I'm like who? It was hilarious.

Kelly - I wouldn't say Jonathan's dad is a bad father. he's just going through a rought patch. He's been relapsing since March and him and his wife are fighting alot. They were always the bickering type. And she is overly dramatic. My son hasn't noticed a difference or at least that's how he expresses it. Now he can by in denial to protect his dad or protect me or maybe himself. But he's usually pretty open if something is going on and it bothers him. They talk like 3 times a day but he's obviously "hiding" something if he doesn't want Jonathan over there. The holidays are coming and we usually spend it together so it'll be interesting how things play out the next couple of months.

Rebecca - Thanks for sharing that info. Our stores share the Mckenzie method. Most of the stores also send their employees to the Back School of Atlanta. I'm learning so much, it's awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if my improved posture has helped with my C and since it improved my circulation possibly my temps too?

Lauren - Love the pics. too cute. Jonathan didn't dress up. He's arleady too old for that. He went to a party instead.

Heidi - You need to tell the IL that you were going out. Or go out when they get there. Tell them you have a wedding or something, get all dressed up and you and hubby go hit the town!

Snowie - Our spot was bumped for HEATHER MILLS!!!!!!! It was upsetting. We are waiting to hear from the producer on when we will be back on. It's very stressful cause lots of our stores bought commercial spots around that 1/2 hour of the Today show.

Morning girls! Just relaxing in the "extra" hour we picked up. DH and I spent our "extra hour" in bed getting our BD on. <<blush>> My doctor told us to abstain until CD10 and then BD on CD12 and CD14 and then anytime after that. When I told DH this news he was floored! The forbidden-ness of it has made with crazy with wanting to BD! He was so convincing this morning that I had no willpower to tell him that today is only CD9. I figure it can't hurt, right? We'll just hold off again until CD12. That's the plan, anyway...

Hope everyone else is doing good.

Mari- I'll be praying a special prayer for you at Mass today.

Heidi- Have fun shopping today! Lucky!

Em- Sorry the experience was painful. Hopefully it will turn up answers and get you knocked up soon!!!

OK, this is the second time that I have not been allowed to edit my post. I don't want to sound like a redneck with "we was floored." It should have been, "he was floored." I know it's just a typo but that is the English teacher in me....

Rac- Can you check on why I can't edit my posts? Thanks!!

Jo - I sure will. I'll let you know what Jer says. In the meantime, I fixed your post so that you don't sound like a redneck! LOL - bad grammer bothers me, too and I'm not a teacher.

Emily - I'm sorry you had a painful experience, I hope you are feeling better today.

Heidi - Boohoo for unexpected guests! Did you find any good deals while having your retail therapy?

Jo - Wow, that's so neat that you got married in Italy! How romantic!! I would love to see some pictures.

Steph - Did you make it through your cravings? I'm a sucker for salty things too when I'm PMS'ing! What is Rose Gold?

Snowie - Hi!

Lauren - Blah for the water heater.

Yesterday I went to a craft show that sucked. Anyone else that goes to craft shows, have you noticed lately that it's less crafts and more jewelry and purses?

Karyn- I love going to craft fairs and have noticed the abundance of jewelry and purse stands. But, I just can't stay away from the craft fairs. I love to see the creative things that people are able to come up with.

Rac- Thanks for editing my post.

Rebecca-Hmm, I guess DH has a lot of "traps" that need to be kneaded! I will try that next time I feel up to obliging on his request. Only problem is, our bed is higher than the typical so it might get a little tricky!

Lauren-Sorry about the water heater. If it's not one thing, it's another.

Em-Sorry about the bad experience with the biopsy. I hope it brings you good news though.

Betsy-I can't believe they bumped your spot and after paying all the money for commercials!? Are they gonna refund your company? grrrr Let me know when they plan to air it.

Heidi-Nice in-laws. I hope you were able to carry on as usual for the most part.

Karyn-I just went to a craft show a couple of weeks ago and did notice tons of jewelry but not so much purses. I bought quite a few Christmas gifts there.

Jo-Yay for BD on a Sunday morning! I'm not much of a morning person so those are far and few between!

__________________

Snowie- I'm not much for getting up early either, but this morning we both woke up around 5am and had nothing but time on our hands, so we got busy. I love weekends b/c I don't have a rushed attitude.

BTW, I noticed that you are not temping. My NFP doctor told me that I didn't have to temp anymore since we know that I do ovulate on my own. He says to pay close attention to my cm. I am usually a temper and not-so-much-a-cm-observer, so we'll see how it goes. I did temp this morning before BD, and it was pretty high for pre-O temp. Guess it's just the clomid doing it's thing. So far, only s/e of clomid is hot flashes. I am dreading getting headaches, but I hear they come after the five days.

Have a great night everyone. Go Cowboys!!

__________________

Jo-Yeah, no temping for me. I guess I just got lazy about it and never went back to it. It obviously hasn't gotten me anywhere anyways. Though you're right, at least we now know we O on our own. The high pre-O temps are most likely due to the clomid. I actually did temp once on it (back in Oct 06 I believe) and found it messed with my temps while taking the pills. About the only s/e I got from it are the hot flashes, and for some reason, I was feeling like I was borderline psycho with the mood swings and crying spells this time around. Poor Dh, once I explained it to him though, he was nothing but supportive. I think he thought it was kinda funny. I didn't really get any headaches from it though. I am more bloated than usual, though that could easily due to my chips-and-everything-bad-for-you diet. Oh yeah, Clomid does dry me up though I did have some ewcm but nothing Preseed can't fix!

__________________

I kwym about the dry-up issue. I actually had some cm today, so was pretty excited. Of course, we did BD twice this morning, so it could have been residual soldiers.

Which leads me to a question that I have wondered about, but never had the guts to ask ANYONE before...I know you girls won't think I'm crazy...after BD, does DH's stuff come out pretty immediately? I have tried legs up, propped on a pillow, but it always spills out anyway. I have pretty much thought it was a normal occurance, but now that we are going on 19 months of TTC, maybe that could be a problem?

Hi Girls~
I am so sad I have to go to work tomorrow. I want some more of my weekend. I had a great weekend shopping! I am so glad to have some Christmas gifts done. Now I need to start wrapping!

Tonight dh and I went to dinner with our next door neighbors, and the more we talked, the more we learned about each other, and found out that they went through IF treatments too! They have a 5 year old boy now, but she had 2 previous miscarriages and did a year of Clomid, and a lap before she got pregnant with him. I dont think they are going to try to have any more. Anyway, it was just interesting to find out, and nice to talk to someone.

DH spent the whole day under the house moving plumbing and installing the new hot water heater. It isnt quite done, so no hot water for us. Good thing I took a shower at my friend's house this morning! It will have to last me til tomorrow night.

If I havent said it lately, I love you girls... I am so thankful that I have you all. (((GROUP HUG)))

Hey girls, no AF yet, but still not getting my hopes up. I´m dreading getting that beta tomorrow morning.
Roma- thanks for my prayer, i hope it went straight to heaven. about everything coming out, it happens to me too, i prop myself on a pillow and have to lay like that at least 2 hours. When i finally get up to pee, at least 50% still comes out. MY RE said its normal.

Emily- im sorry it hurt so much , i hope you´re doing much better.

snowie- its good to see you on the boards!!

__________________

Jo-I also have that problem with DH's stuff falling outta me. I try the prop up thing as well but since I'm prone to utis I need to make sure I pee within 30 min of BD. But I just figure the 'strong ones' make it up before then anyways.

Mari-Hoping and praying you have greats betas tomorrow! I so know the feeling though. Hang in there.

Lauren-It's always interesting to find out other people have their struggles. I have stopped assuming people with kids/babies are fertile myrtles unless they're like one of my co-workers who has four kids and with the last one announced that she failed to refill her bcps and lo and behold, she found out she was pg that month. Ah, if only it were that easy.

Jo - I think the leaking is normal. I have the same issue at times.

Snowie - My bed it a little high, too but it worked okay for me before having a table to use (it's a little low for me, but so much better than sitting on his @$$). If you stand with your arms down, hands in a fist, the 'table' should be just below your knuckles. The end of your bed might just work for you.

Lauren - I'm so glad you had a good time with your neighbors. It is nice knowing that there are other people who have gone through/are going through the same thing other than us on the boards.

Rebecca-I went to our bed and tried the knuckle thing and even if I shove over the featherbed, it's still too high! I'm pretty short so that might explain it. I have a dear friend who does shiatsu and he LOVES when she gives him massages. Good thing for me, he LOVES when I give him some "action" or there might be a problem there!
