    Sending out the to WTH and Bettyboop - good luck ladies... I have you both in my prayers

    Thanks for the feedback re: OPK's as well - luckily I have the tests which have a control line and the second line only shows up when positive so not so difficult to read. This morning there was a very, very faint line so maybe tomorrow I will get the +

    So tonight we start the .
    I have informed DH of the plan to which he responded "all I am is to you" ...... poor thing

    Have a good night

    Good morning girls! I'm completely fuzzy-eyed as I'm typing this, can't seem to wake up this morning, but you know I had to drag myself out of bed while everyone else is --gotta keep up with my girls!


    mollycat--Sorry I missed your post while we were both actually awake at the same time! That doesn't happen very often, so shame on me for missing out! Ok, I had a nice little chat with AF, and we are in complete agreement that she is most unwelcome next month--and the 9 months thereafter!! Problem solved! lol... p.s. I also threatened to kick her a$$ if she gets anywhere near you this month!!


    AJC--Woo Hoo! 7 sleeps till your next scan!! Can't wait!


    WTH--Thinking of you and praying for you that you get great BT results today! Take it easy, hun, and think positive!!! Sending lots of positive


    joey--No sleep, huh? I'd have to say if I did that, it would be the ultimate sign of a true addict! That one would definitely make the top of the Addicted list! lol...


    kittens--Sending lots of positive vibes today for your u/s! Praying they find lots of big follies!! Stash this in your pocket for good luck!


    bettyboop--:goodluck2: with your BT's today!! Can't wait to hear the good news!!


    plc--Glad to see you're till lurking! Thanks for popping in with some much needed words of encouragement!! Big hugs!


    Easha--Ever notice how many of our men act like martyrs? lol... Seems like they either complain they don't get it enough, or they're getting it too much! We sacrifice our bodies, and all we ask for in return are some measly little I don't see what the problem is! lol... Good luck catching that egg!!


    WHAT! No posts from Krystie!?!? Where are you my friend? You aren't bailing out on ol' "cool chick jen" are you??? Oh, I know, you're just jealous over how cool I looked in that pic, aren't you? lol... I had it rough keeping all those ****s off me yesterday! Hope things are well with you, how's the temps coming along??

    Kittens - Tomorrow then is now today, so I hope it goes well and look forward to hearing the good news. Stay strong

    Betty Boop - Your tomorrow is now also today. Thinking of you
    Is this your first cycle after MC? Sorry if I already asked.

    PLC - Goin strong!! Keep up the good work!

    Easha - Poor DH. Tell him he's not the only DH out there who feels this way. Tell him that he should feel lucky cause it's not just you want, it's HIS . May be this might comfort him some?? Good luck with the . I have my fingers crossed for you that this is your month.

    Have run out of Smilies... stay tuned for part 2

    Jen - Good to see you're not going in sane I agree with your comment to Easha. My DH is the same ... too much ... not enough ... too much ...

    Tutmae - If you O on CD 11, then add 14 to that (the average time before AF that you O) and that comes to ... ummm ... 25. So that would be ok. Would just be a slightly shorter cycle than normal. Probably not likely, unless your normal cycles are that length, but definately possible. You think you Oed? What symptoms did you have? But more importantly - did you around then??

    Smilanatu - Hump day, hmmm ... in just one way or two??



    AFM - Very excited / nervous at the moment.
    CD17 - found very wetCM that morning, and EWCM in the day, then that night. Legs up the wall and bicycle riding for 5 mins to help those little swimmers to their destination. But I am serious!
    CD18 - O pain (never felt it so bad, which is good, before) and a big temp drop .
    CD19 - slight O pain in the morning, gone my 8am. Temp increase by 0.34 deg celcius. CD20 (today) - another temp rise, not so big 0.12 deg celcius.
    No BDing since CD17, but those little guys should still be alive in there until today (if I'm an average JoBlo).

    Need more smilies...

    Would you mind having a look at my chart (link is below). Do you think I should discount CD15 & CD17? It would look like a text book chart if I did (so long as my temps keep increasing). I overlayed my last 2 graphs, which you can see on my page also (current one is green, last one that I was UTD from is blue). I bled up to day 8 this cycle, compared to day 4 from the last cycle, due to MC I'm guessing. So do you think I could be UTD???

    Still haven't told DH. Don't want to get him too excited, and then let him down if I'm not. Is the 2WW up yet?????

    Going to meet up with a friend, who is TCC next month, she too has MCed several times before. But has had a beautiful boy and girl since. She had 2 munchkins, 1 and 3, and we are going to see Zohan at the movies. Anyone seen it?

    Today is my first real day of holidays, and it feels great. The painting is finished, for now, and no more working for my bro. He asked me to work again today, but it's quite energetic (detailing, washing and vacuuming cars) and thought, with my fingers crossed, if I am UTD, I need to look after ME. So gave away the $150 for the day (I'm mad I know) and am spending the day with me (and my girlie friend)!

    More ...

    Also, have this awesome book, called Natural Fertitity. It's by Francesca Naish. I bought it off ebay, and it has some FANTASTIC info in it. It's quite old, but how much can some temping and CM change, right? I am happy to scan some pages for you guys if you are interested. But can't attach it here. If you want to PM me, (I'm a bit hesitant putting my email on here as anyone and everyone can see it, and it contains my full name) I'd me happy to email it to you. It's got lunar cycles, temping, charting, CM, natural remedies for hormonal health... Was just reading it again this morning, expecting it to say in black and white, "Congratulations Joey, you're UTD!". It didn't though. Perhaps cause I wasn't born when it was published (just jokes), it didn't know my name. I'm raving aren't I!? What else am I supposed to do for the next 11 days??

    So, if you could have a look at my chart, and let me know what you think, that would be great. Feel free to tell me if you really think that I won't be UTD, as I need a bit of bringing back down to earth.

    Thanks for keeping me sain!!

    Hey joey--That would've been a very long post if not for the smilies! I think that one tops what we have on the Addicted list! Your chart looks great, I just don't know enough about charting to be able to tell whether or not I think you're UTD! Plus, it's probably too early to be able to tell yet if you just O'ed and there's still 10 days till testing. But I'm hard that you get your BFP this month! :goodluck2:



    plc! Thanks, we'll enjoy the holiday! Big, huge

    joey you're on a roll! if you dont mind much, can you please send me your info to my email? thanks a bunch! i've also got a book called how to increase your fertility in 3 months??? something like that. it talks about stopping meat consumption altogether, eating organic foods only, not drinking cold foods as they shock the body... if you would like i can scan for you to have a read too! about your chart, im no expert, but agree with jen that its prolly too early to tell atm, and wait a few days to see a coverline to make sure you o'd? hope your temps continue to rise! & have fun on your break for us!

    wth & betty & plc & ajc: some more for you today...

    jen: i think i remember you're on facebook, can you pm me your nickname or befriend me? im using the same name as here..

    easha: i hate it when blokes are like that! mine is the same, wants a bub but not trying hard enough & doesnt understand that you dont have 30 days to fall pg.. i get so angry at him when he's not willing that i say 'just do it in a cup & i'll do it myself' men! but now at least he's willing to do it every 2 days until af comes...

    kittens: good luck today! be strong, we're here for you...

    tutmae: if you're getting the right cm, then possibly you o'd or are going to! good luck! the human body is mind boggling.. does weird things, who knows what it can get up to...

    afm: still drinking herbal stuff... getting quite a bit of creamy cm.. think it has to do with the herbs.. will be starting bding tonight just in case i o early this month!

    Vanaithi: I know a few people who have tried the herbal route when TTC and they've found it pretty effective. But with all I've heard about the taste- you're one strong gal!

    wth & betty & plc & ajc: a good healthy dose of never goes astray!!

    Joey: I know very little about charting but I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed that you're UTD!

    AFM: I had EWCM today (just had a feeling I might've o'd on cd11 but I think thats just me trying to get to the dreaded 2ww that much faster). The way my cycles have been acting I have no idea when I'll o.... but EWCM is a great sign! Plus we had a new bed delivered today!It's meant to be!
