@Sams Mom: i have a whole litany of awesome pattern makers! Making stuff for yourself is so rewarding
it's totally my stress relief!
Boo! Finding stuff that looks nice and fits well is so hard
-
@MamaBear87: I, obviously, need to learn how to use my sewing machine! You make clothing - making sound fabulous!
-
@Kaohinani: lol thank you! I do love it. I usually make my husband boxers from my scraps so I finished pink ones this morning
-
@MamaBear87: That is hilarious!!! I should tell my husband that is what I'm going to start doing
-
@MamaBear87: That is hilarious!
-
@Sams Mom: they all have black elastic that's all anyone else sees
-
@Kaohinani: it's surprisingly easy with a good pattern!
-
@MamaBear87: He would have all my cutesy baby print fabrics. I'm going to have fun with this one! I'm telling him tonight that I'm waiting on a pattern so I can put my scrap to good use.
@Kaohinani: one of my friends sews all of her own maxi skirts, she says it's a breeze.
-
@Kaohinani: workout pants are also crazy easy!
@Sams Mom: you sew mostly with wovens right? I'm cheered at the thought of baby pattern boxers
-
@MamaBear87: yea, and the downside is he'll realize that it will take more of my fabric to cover his butt than a 3 lb baby... So I might not get as much fun out of it as I hope to.
-
@Sams Mom: he needs at least one!
Fb has decided that today is the day to show me all the infertility ads. Thanks fb as if I didn't know it's been awhile and we aren't pregnant
-
@MamaBear87: every damn day I see the Ava ad and "fertility treatments might not be as expensive as you think" ad for some clinic.
-
@Sams Mom: i always feel like commenting on those ones. No its probably more!
-
@Sams Mom: @Mamabear87:
I have many talents (some, in fact, craftsy) but IDK if sewing is one of them! Lol.
Wish you ladies were closer, I'd ask for a tutorial ... Sewing with patterns 101.Incidentally, if my OVIA app asks me one more time if I have endo, have seen a RE, have pelvic pain, or any other reason why I haven't conceived in the last 2.5 years, I swear, I'm either going to cry
-
@Jessiemuller88 @MDF106 : thanks everyone, itโs starting to feel real. These were todayโs tests, in case somebody wants more sticks to look at lol. I have a little pinkish discharge here and there which makes me a little skittish, otherwise feel excited!
-
@MilPA: those look great! A little bit of spotting is normal early on.
We always want to look at sticks
-
@MilPA: Nice lines!
!
-
@Kaohinani: for you and anyone else wondering if clomid makes you bloated/causes weight gain... hell yes. This is me tonight, and the picture Iโll post next was like a week ago. Given, it was a flattering picture and different angle but still...
-
About a week ago...
-
Ok, now that Iโve posted I realize it may not be super helpful, but Iโm telling you, itโs a significant change. Plus, this is my third month in a row on clomid (only took one month with my first two kids), and Iโve definitely gained weight
-
@Kaohinani: yeah Iโll keep an eye on it. The testing is complicated... Iโm a family med PA in the military (mil-pa) so I would need to get a fellow coworker to order the tests and refer to an OB. So Iโll probably just wait a week or two and if itโs sticky then go from there. Itโs so easy when itโs my patients but totally different when itโs me!
-
@MilPA: I always love looking at sticks, those look great!
-
@LAZB: Thank you SOOO much for posting this! I could almost cry I am so grateful that you (honestly) understand. I only had the 2 mos on Clomid (so far) but have gained 10 lbs and the weight has made me feel miserable. It is crazy because weight should not define a person but when it hits you overnight and you have NO control over it, the gain is difficult even if it is only a side effect for a greater purpose. Affixed is my picture with my before in April (108 lbs) and then this week when I hit 118. I know to some people, it may be NBD but I was an obese child and chunky teen so I really strive to maintain my health. A quick 10 lbs, whether water or fat is equally unhealthy on my short frame. Anyway - Thank you again for posting and, even with the gain, you still look lovely.
-
@MilPA: Gotcha!
for that sticky little one and keep us updated.
-
Good morning and happy weekend, ladies!
Well, hubby just left for Reservist training until the 29th and my best friend (since I was 17) is coming into town tomorrow with her kids (ages 11 and 2) to spend this week with me and my 10- and 3-year-old. She's hoping I'll test BFP while she's here. Let the crazy begin! -
@Kaohinani: hey! Definitely the most relaxed 2ww Iโve ever had. Iโve been on a work trip, and so I havenโt had any time to think about it or obsess over symptoms. Feeling pretty normal at this point. How about you?
-
@Jessiemuller88: Great to hear!
I should be able to relax a bit soon as I have no clients until the start of August... I took a week off since I will have company starting tomorrow and, 2 clients have business trips, 2 have vacations, and one is having surgery all the following weeks. Hubby left for Reservist training this morning so, I will be busy with the kids and pups (and my company) during the remainder of my TWW. I suppose distraction is the best way to go!
Best of luck until test day! -
@Kaohinani: your BBT sound promising! Enjoy your time off and your company! FX this is the month!
-
I am pretty sure this one is real and not left over trigger, hoping for a sticky baby this time!
Iโm 13 dpt and 11/12 dpo -
@LAZB: Just dropping in to say, wow, beautiful line! Congratulations!
-
@Raspberry: thank you!
-
@LAZB: Congratulations, mama!
F'x for a sticky bean! -
@LAZB: looking good! Congratulations and fingers crossed this is your sticky one!
-
@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: thank you both!
-
@LAZB: Congrats!
-
@skinnycow: thank you!

@LAZB: soooo happy for you! Congrats! Thatโs a strong BFP!
-
So many BFPs this month - hopefully there are more to come!
-
Congrats to all you ladies with BFPs, I havenโt been able to keep up but I am wishing you all happy and healthy 9 months :
I think I am out this month, I took a digital and got a negative yesterday (granted it was expired for over a year) . I had very light spotting and cramping today so Iโm assuming Iโll be starting AF tomorrow
I forgot how hard this can be as itโs my first month ttc since my DS was born. Itโs a double whammy of disappointment on top of PMs and cramps. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!
