Hi!!!
All you ladies look great!!
. NYC I can''t believe you have TWINKS in there!!!!!!! You looks GREAT!!!
I''m still getting over my cold and coming back home I had some ear problems again...oh well, not as bad as the first time though!. This weekend I''ve been relaxing home alone (DH is visiting family in Spain!).
Yesterday I had a tough day
. I had a huge fight/fall out with my best friend. For those of you around in the LIW days, this is the same friend I had a huge fall out a long time ago!. Well, history repeats itself and I guess I just didn''t learn my lesson.
I had only shared the news with 3 of my friends because that''s what DH and I agreed to as we wanted to wait after the u/s at week 11 (next week!). Anyway, turns out my "friend" decided it was ok to share. I found out she told her cousin, who told a friend, who then went out with a group of friends (that are my friends too) and he blurted out "Guess what??? Mandarine is KNOCKED UP with TWINS!". Nice. I found out because another friend told me and needless to say I was hurt/furious. Not only does it make me mad that she opened her mouth, but she denied it and told me I was crazy and she had "had it with me"...and who knows what other non-sense. I''m also mad at how the news are being shared, as if I''m a 15 year old girl that got knocked up and this is actually bad news.
So yesterday I finally blurted out how I knew so she at least could shut it and stop trying to deny it. Anyway, it was bad...I was so mad/sad/upset I was shaking. I know it''s not good for the babes to bes so upset so I decided to write her a LONG email and let all my feelings out and put it to rest. I felt better..still upset at this whole thing, but I have to let it go and I have to take her out of my life (we''ve been friends since we were like 11 years old). It saddens me, but this is just too much. This is not a GOSSIP, or "my" secret...this is a blessing, a miracle and a secret that I share with DH and with those that I love and thought were close to us. It sucks...
Anyway, sorry for the vent...
...
I''m trying to cheer up so I''m meeting up with a friend that I met on the knot while planning the wedding and she''s pregnant now too. So we''re off to get ourselves bella bands
I hope you all have a great Saturday and a Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter, everyone!!
This was a great weekend with Paul (I even talked him into doing an Easter egg hunt in the yard today and yesterday we went on a nature trail and it was just so awesome. I''ll have to post pictures of some of the wonderful wild flowers and plants we saw. Gorgeous!!!). Paul is so good to me, all the time, but particularly through the heartaches and emotions of trying to have a baby. If I''ve learned anything through this process, it''s that I''m blessed more than I can express by his sweet ways and understanding and just the way he walks with me through everything. It''s amazing. We''re so much closer than we were last summer, when we started this roller coaster ride called TTC. Then today, church was awesome and I got to serve in the nursery for the second service, which was also awesome (our church just moved to two services, so now when I work in the nursery, I don''t have to miss the service!!). Little kiddos just get my heart so easily!
Then we went to Paul''s parents house for Easter Dinner. His mom is doing well, praise God!
His brother and his brother''s girlfriend were there, too, as well as his dad. In the past, his brother and I have had our moments to say the least, but lately things seem to have calmed down. Mostly, his brother didn''t want Paul to marry me when we were dating because he thought I was too opinionated and not the June Cleaver type to just wait and dote on my husband all my life long. Anyway, two years into marriage, I guess he''s somewhat come to just know that the way Paul and I are (you know, mutually giving and doting) works and is good for us. So, early this year (right after Christmas), he asked when we were planning on having kids (as is a casual question that gets asked around in family situations often) and we told him we were praying for a baby and trying to have one. Today he said he thought for sure we''d be announcing our pregnancy at the Easter get together. I was actually really proud of myself for not crying right there, as this is such a sensitive subject for me right now (this weekend particularly). Anyway, told him no, we didn''t have any announcements to make and he asked if we were still trying. Yes, we are. His response: "Really? Wow. I thought for sure you guys would be pregnant by now." Um, he''s only known we''ve been "trying" since January!! What in the world? If only he knew it''s been since the early summer that we''ve been trying. Anyway, rough night in that area. What I felt like saying was that we''d been wondering if he was going to announce that he was finally engaged to his girlfriend, since they''ve been dating for a while and I know that comment always gets to the guy in situations like this... but, eh, I''m better than just smacking back with a little spite. Besides, it was EASTER, with *many* reasons to celebrate, indeed.
I sincerely hope that he and his wife (they''re probably going to be engaged and married within a year or so) don''t have any problems or delays becoming parents. It''s a rough road, although it would likely soften his comments on all things TTC if he had an inkling of the sorrow that questions like his can bring on.
Paul''s mom is a gem though. She just rubbed my hand and said not to worry, she''d been having dreams about my pregnancy and she was sure it would come along soon enough, in God''s sweet timing. Her eyes just glistened, just from thinking about the dream of grandchildren for her. It''s so precious (and not annoying in the least, from her).
On the way home from their house, Paul and I were talking. If this cycle does end up as short as the last, I will be able to test on Mother''s Day. And if it''s positive, we''re going to tell Martha for her Mother''s Day present. (We have an ornament that says, "what happens at Grandma''s stays at Grandma''s." We''ll wrap that and give it to her and watch as she figures it out.) We''d said we''d plan on waiting a while to tell anyone, but somehow, we figure if it works out that we find out on a day like Mother''s Day, it''s absolutely something we''d like to share with Martha on that day.
So, off and running with the hopes that come with a new cycle....
And praying for a different outcome than all the cycles before.
For *all* of us, girls. For all of us.

Hugs to Fisher indeed!
You are too good! As you know, whenever people ask us I smile and change the topic to ask them about their plans for finishing college, proposing, turning in the dissertation, and lately, how their retirement funds are doing.
Why so many folks think our ovaries are their business, I have no idea. Impressive that you held it together.
So, a question. Weirdly enough, this cycle sped by and I O''d on day 17 (almost like a normal person, woot woot). I was only temping out of habit/collecting evidence of the strangeness that is my cycle. The glory of FF of course is that it sometimes turns out to show cross-hairs. So now I''m 8dpo, but I leave for 17 days in Asia on 11dpo. I can''t decide if I should test that day with DH (crack o'' dawn to the airport) or just wait for AF, or test by myself.
Oh, and our timing was perfection. Yet I am still waiting for more input from my RE, and am waiting to find out if DH is a carrier for the same stuff that I am, but still sort of want to be psyched for this cycle. Last cycle I knew that it wasn''t going to work even when looking at that first bfp. My bod didn''t feel good. Now I''m feeling great, crosshairs with all settings, and yet I know that it is improbable with my brain. But you know the heart...

Wanted to check in on my girls.
Lulu, How''s it going? I''ve never had spotting, but I can only imagine the frustration that it brings with all other things that point to AF (or not). Thought of you over the weekend.
InLuv, Where are our cruise pics?
Where are you now, DPO what now? Thinking good things for you, lady!!
Blushing, I''m glad you''re hopeful this go round. It''s so hard not to be, even with the past cycles looming there. Just remember those cycles are PAST and I say live up the excitement of finally reaching that goal of mommyhood!
Festy, same as InLuv, where are our pics from your honeymoon? Hmm?
****
DD,
Aww, wasn''t that sweet!! Thank you so much for those sweet words. However, I must be honest: I didn''t think of anything really snappy to respond with right away, thus losing out on timing issues. For what it''s worth, I don''t think he was saying anything with the intention of being mean or harsh; he (like so many others) just has no idea about trying for a baby for so long. Society really does think (until it happens to them) that when you look at the calendar and say, "Oooh, a baby in so-and-so month would be perfect, let''s try now," it''ll work. Sadly it doesn''t for a lot of people.
Speaking of pictures, I have the *cutest* picture of my niece that my sister in law sent me. I need to download it. She''s not a baby anymore, but she''s just a DOLL!!! (Besides, the dogs wouldn''t let me dress them up for any pictures this week.)
Happy Monday, girls!

HUGS)) Fisher! Good for you for being strong during that inquisitive chat with your brother - although I know it must''ve been hard. People just don''t seem to understand how difficult TTC can be, and how sensitive a subject it is to probe into as well. I know you would''ve loved to be making an announcement at that Easter gettogether too - but that time will come! I can''t wait till that happens - cause I can feel how happy you and Paul are going to be. Y''all are going to be wonderful parents too!
Swimmer, I''m glad you''re feeling optimistic this month! Can''t wait till you decide to test!
Blushing and InLUv, when are you testing? I logged in specifically to ask that...

It would be great to see another bfp around here! I hope this is the month for both of you - and anyone else in the tww.
I don''t know when I''ll test. I''m 7DPO today. My temps took a nosedive yesterday (to the coverline) and shot up today to a higher temp than I''ve had all cycle. I know that doesn''t mean much but it''s so hard to not hope that it means something, know what I mean? Ah well...time will tell. Maybe if I haven''t had any spotting by Friday (which I normally do around 10-12 DPO) I''ll take a test. Fingers crossed, still feeling pretty optimistic though!

Yay Festy! Looks like you had an amazing time! I love the stone... I have a thing for stone. So pretty!!
By the way... not only am I anxious for your news of being pregnant, I''m still so curious about your *other identity* here. Haha. Nope, I''ve not forgotten. Still thinking about who it could be....
***
Swimmer,
Totally had a Monday morning brain fart when I posted earlier. I don''t know what I''d do in your situation with testing. Okay, I do know. I''d try to put it off, because I''d want my last day with my husband before going off on a trip to be good, you know? But, I would NOT want to tell my hubby over phone or email, and I *could NOT* hold it in for 17 days. So yeah. I don''t know what I''d do. But I am so glad to hear that your cycle''s been *normal* (whatever that means in this realm of TTC business) this cycle. Good news indeed! I hold much hope for you and your husband. Keep the faith, girl. It''s gonna happen.
***
Apparently a couple of days of sulking is all I needed. I''m hoping to be able to maintain a spirit of hopefulness without over analysis this cycle (wish me luck ladies... I''m quite a queen of analyzing out the behind!!). I figure that with Clomid, no sign/symptom/side effect means anything at all, so why even bother with acknowledging it? I totally butchered that word and I''m too lazy to even fix it. Pitiful!
***
InLuv,
Haha. I''ll patiently wait. Don''t worry.

Great photos, Festy and Fisher! Is the girl in each photo you? You guys are really cute! It''s always nice to see the faces of the people you ''talk'' to almost everyday on PS.
InLuv, that dip and rise sounds very promising! I hope it is what we think it is! If it is...then perhaps 10-12 dpo would be a good time to test.
No real morning sickness for me here yet....I''ve been feeling pretty fine, but I did have two waves of nausea/lightheadness today, before I had breakfast and before I had a midafternoon snack. So I think the m/s is gearing up to come on....
I''m 5 wks 4 days today - and I hear it usually starts around 6 weeks. So we''ll see! Thanks for asking.
Hope you guys come over to the Pregnancy thread soon...

Hi ladies
Hope that you all had a great weekend. It was nice to spend it with my family and with lots of tasty food. This week is a short one for me, because on Friday we''re headed up to NY for my best friend''s wedding and then out to montauk (possibly my favorite place ever) for another short family vacation. I''m very much looking forward to both! Nothing new to report on the TTC-front. Still waiting for *real* AFF and then I''ll call to make an appointment for the HSG . . .
Inluv - interesting dip/rise
I''m hoping!!
fisher - glad to here that your optimism is back!! and great pictures - your neice is adorable
swimmer - sounds like a promising cycle. I would think that DPO 11 is too early and i''m not a huge fan of testing, but maybe it could be the best bon voyage news ever!
blushing - my fingers are still crossed for you - i think i might be losing circulation
festy - what amazing photos. i would love to take a similar trip!!
**********************
so while, lately, it feels like I live in portland, or some other extremely rainy climate, the rain stopped and the sun came out for a brief moment the other day and I got some nice pictures of DC in the spring. hopefully they''ll post.

Lulu,
I know what you mean, waiting for the sun to show itself. It''s been so dark and rainy here lately. The drought has ended because of it, so I''m thankful for that. But even an hour of sunshine would be so nice at this point!
Lovely pictures, as always!
****
Sha,
That is me with my baby niece, yes. It was taken at Christmas. She''s such a doll baby!! She calls me all the time, much more than her older sisters, to "see what''s going on in Georgia." Too funny!!!
****
I got *sick*, sicker than I have ever been, on Monday night/Tuesday morning. Around 3am I woke up and had to vomit, and then every hour or so, I''d vomit again. It was awful. I seriously had this rolling pukey feeling in my stomach for at least 20 hours straight. It was insane. I of course, being me, got scared about Clomid being the cause (vomiting is listed as a side effect), so I called the Dr. They wanted to see me immediately, to rule that out. They said typically if you''re going to have severe reactions like that, you''ll have them right away, in the first round. First round I was fine, and I really think it was probably something I''d just caught, but yeah. I was so weak. Didn''t eat a thing, and if I had a popsicle or juice, I''d just puke it up 1/2 hour later. Eh!! Anyway, I was way too weak and dizzy to drive, so they said to just lay there at home and to NOT take the Clomid at night unless I''d been at least 5 hours without vomiting. So, I took it at 9:50, about 6 hours after my last puke session, and lo and behold.... I puked about 5 minutes after taking it. Totally freaked out until Paul told me the pill wouldn''t even be broken down in my system yet, and it was probably just a fluke. So, after than last puke, I''ve been fine. Yay! I think 14 pukes in a 24 hour period is plenty!! (The Dr. office made me do a home pregnancy test, to rule out morning sickness... negative.)
So, now I''m waiting for the Dr. office to tell me if I need to keep taking the Clomid or what this cycle. I puked day 3 up.... tomorrow should be my last pill of the cycle.
Aye. Off to work for me. I''m still kind of weak, but I think if I stop at the store and get some crackers and take some juice with me, I''ll be fine. Laying in bed for 24 hours is enough for me. I''d go nuts sitting around today, too.
I''m *so* hoping this isn''t some crazy reaction to the Clomid. Part of me is still paranoid that it is. And then missing that pill from last night... I wonder if it will still work this cycle.
At least I''m feeling better today, though! Yay!
Have a good Wednesday, ladies!
I know what you mean, waiting for the sun to show itself. It''s been so dark and rainy here lately. The drought has ended because of it, so I''m thankful for that. But even an hour of sunshine would be so nice at this point!
Lovely pictures, as always!

Sha,
That is me with my baby niece, yes. It was taken at Christmas. She''s such a doll baby!! She calls me all the time, much more than her older sisters, to "see what''s going on in Georgia." Too funny!!!

I got *sick*, sicker than I have ever been, on Monday night/Tuesday morning. Around 3am I woke up and had to vomit, and then every hour or so, I''d vomit again. It was awful. I seriously had this rolling pukey feeling in my stomach for at least 20 hours straight. It was insane. I of course, being me, got scared about Clomid being the cause (vomiting is listed as a side effect), so I called the Dr. They wanted to see me immediately, to rule that out.

Hey ladies!
How do you like my chart (I have a sticky/sticky BIP)?
Cycle 15 charting, cycle 1 TTC. There a lot of fertility issues in my family so it's hard to know what's going to happen, but who knows...
I'm using the TCOYF sofware, so I hope my uplaoded screenshot works!
ETA: Eep! It's a bit small. I'll see what I can do.

Fisher- Oh no!
That stomach bug sounds horrible!! I''m so glad you are on the mend though!
And what adorable pictures with your neice. So prescious!
Festy- LOVE the pictures!!!
I''m just having a weird (for me cycle). AF was 3/29, so I''m on CD18. I''m not temping or using OPKs ust going by CM. Normally, I have pretty standard CM. It goes from dry to creamy to watery to a TON of EWCM for a good two days and then back to dry, usually within 2 days of O''ing. So it''s usually fairly easy for me to know when I''m about to ovulate and then when it''s over. This cycle, I only had watery CM and not as much as I normally do. DH and I BD''d on 4/9, 4/10, 4/11 and 4/12. I kept waiting for the watery CM to turn into EWCM but it never did. Is it possible I O''ed with it never turning EWCM? On Monday night I was having pretty bad cramps, and more often then not, I have ovulation cramps, so I was hoping it was that. So I have no idea what possible DPO I could be on. I really thought I ovulated on Sunday, because that was the day I had the most watery CM...
Happy Wednesday ladies!

Fisher - How cute are you? I love seeing pictures of everybody! It makes me feel bad for being bashful about showing my face. Maybe someday. But seriously, Fishie, those pictures are beyond adorable. Get this - I TOTALLY pictured you as a strawberry blonde. Weird? I mean there was no doubt in my mind. I''m sorry you were so sick. There is nothing worse than the pukies. I hope things are ok with Clomid too.
LuLu - your pictures are beautiful, as always, and are making me very impatient for spring to get here already. We are just starting to see buds on the trees up here, which is astonishing because it''s been cold as heck.
Anchor - nice chart! It looks like your BD timing was good. My fingers are crossed for you!
Feb - Hm, that''s frustrating when your body does something you''re not prepared for. I''m sure it''s very possible you O''d without EWCM. (In fact, I''m not sure I get the EW stuff, just watery). Especially if you were feeling those tell-tale cramps.
I had a yuck night last night because I was bored and took a test at 10-11 DPO. It was negative, natch. Let me say that again, I was bored so I took a test. D-U-M. [Warning - piity party coming up here]. It made me so tired of this whole process. Tired of thinking about TTC, tired of feeling like I''m the only one thinking about TTC. I want to be done. Ok, whine over. Sorry to be a wet blanket, ladies. Here''s hoping AF comes early and often so I can get on with the next cycle!
