    hoey/joey--You crack me up! Had to laugh when you said you told DH you were in the TWW, and now he understands! I'm laughing with you not at you, I promise--it just sounded so cute! I knew you were asleep, btw, I just figured you were still gabbing away! I woke myself up singing in my sleep before! lol... Oh, happy soon to be b-day! You sound just like me--first of all, I love it when they let you "go buy what you want" that's the best! And, of course, I only ever want clothes, as well--but then when you have the money, there's nothing you want to buy! My clothes are pretty conservative--I'm a jeans and t-shirt kinda gal, too!


    tutmae--I had 6 days in a row of watery CM, so I don't think it's unusual... unless I'm a freak of nature, then you're sh*t outta luck!


    Easha--I never get EWCM, only watery. I would say as long as your cervix is high and open, and you've got the fertile CM, then don't stop BD'ing!! Tell DH shooting dust is for cowboys, and he can be a cowboy next week! lol... Nice temp spike, btw!!


    Katiegirl--I read that you're going to Joshua's funeral on Monday. It's so tragic... please pass on my condolences to Mel, give her big I've never met her, and can't even begin to imagine what she's going through with the loss of another child. Please let her know she's in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure it won't be easy for you to be there, you're a great friend for being there for Mel, but look after yourself, too! Lots of bellyrubs! Love hearing about those baby kicks--enjoy them, I'm sure she'll be kicking at DH in no time!


    teen--I wish I had some advice for you... I m/c naturally my last 3 m/c's. I did have a D & C when I had my blighted ovum, back in '95, but honestly don't really remember how long it was that I waited, though I know I bled, so wasn't even thinking about TTC after just a few days. I have to be honest, though, and say I'm more surprised that, due to your age, your doctors aren't trying to get you to give it a little more time. Especially since I m/c naturally and my dr. told me to wait 2 cycles, and told me that if we had sex, to wear a condom! In most cases when you m/c naturally, there's no medical reason as to why you have to wait, other than to maybe help with the lining--but I think it's different when you have a D & C. And in my case with my m/c, I thought I was 13 weeks along, but the baby died at 8 wks, so it took 5 weeks for my body to realize anything was wrong--even after the baby being gone for so long, it took 5 wks. for my hcg to come down, and dr. STILL said to wait 2 months. I don't know what else to say, other than it's up to you--but when you joined this thread, you joined a bunch of girls that truly care about what happens to each other--we're just looking out for you, so please don't be offended! Sending lots of hugs...

    Jen - Woohoo! I get a post all of my own!! I'm sure it's because I'm special and not because you ran out of smilies

    Do you think it's coincidence that a movie with Will Smith in it has the word "****" in the title? I think not

    I just cleaned my computer desk and couldn't believe how much dust had accumulated over time and that I hadn't noticed despite sitting at the desk allllll the time! I also cleaned my monitor and now I can READ the posts!!! Almost had to turn down the brightness of the screen hehe.

    Krystie--Nope, only used 5 smilies on that post--you're just special! (my kids would all chime in and say special ed, but not me!) I found my computer desk yesterday and dusted it, it was pretty bad--it's all BB's fault!

    Tutmae - How long have you had EWCM? My book says you can have it in one mass or for a couple of days. Are you sure it is definately EWCM? I had a CM that I thought was EW, until I got the real EW and it truely is just like a cracked raw egg without the yolk. I was amazed when I saw it for the first time, and if I hadn't been reading all this stuff and trying to fall preg, I probably would have freiked!! May be google it??

    Easha - Thanks for your suggestions - will try not to obsess too much!!

    Also, not everyone gets EWCM. Perhaps you won't get it this month, or perhaps it was a small amount and you passed it at a time you weren't checking. Wet is still good for the little . Glad to hear your temp has risen I'm with KL, I think your ovulation date was yesterday.

    Jen - singing in your sleep. Now that's impressive!! Were you in tune? Was DH dancing? Seems a lot of us are jeans and t-shirt girls. Let's make a new club: we now have the nana's club (I have to be president of this one, I'm the biggest nana out!) and now there's the J&T (jean's and t-shirt).

    We're going to see Han**** tonight!!! If DH doesn't change his mind When you first said you didn't get any Will, I thought you meant Willie!!

    Take care girls,

    BRING ON NEXT WEEKEND (end of 2WW)
    Lots of I did have more here, but they made me take some away. ohhhh

    Easha: My bed is now stable. Makes a very nice change, and bding a lot less dangerous!!

    Jen & Joey: I had the cracked raw egg thing 2 days ago (first time I had noticed it- it was ca-razy) and today it's turned into more of the snot-like consistency (how delightful) that I seem to have had all cycle since Lilah. No pain or odor, so I'm not too concerned. But I can't help but worry that it's a sign that I'm infertile or something. Oh the worrysome brain of mine!!

    Teen: If you trust your doctors, then I'd follow their advice, the gals here just like to watch out for eachother, is all! Do what you feel comfortable with!!

    AFM: The bloating seems to have settled a bit, as have the lower back pains and little pinches. Not stopping the bd train yet though!! If I have or haven't o'd I'm not gonna miss any chance to catch the little eggy!! Off to a gig tonight that DH is playing at and is very very excited about. Should be fun and keep my mind off TCC for a bit. What am I saying? Like my mind is EVER off TCC!!
