I vote drink til it’s pink!
AFM, I’ve been having some light cramping all morning - just a faint reminder that I have a uterus. I’m hoping that’s this little embie nuzzling in to stay.
-
Okay, so my client just called and said she has the runs and is canceling. Talk about a TMI excuse for not going to work out.
🤣
@SupernovaJ: I don't drink often as I take a medicine cabinet's worth of medications; however, I LOVE to indulge in a good glass of wine
-
@SupernovaJ: I'm in the drink til it's pink camp. I'm not a heavy drinker but I have a couple glasses of wine about two nights a week.
I drank 3 margaritas two days before I found out I was pregnant with DD and she's fine
-
I'm definitely team drink til its pink. Last time I had a feeling I was pregnant but hadn't tested yet and went to a 21st birthday outing. So I drank a beer thinking it was probably my last for a while.
-
@SupernovaJ: With my past pregnancies I was very careful and cautious. With my last few cycles I've been a little more laid back. I will drink, but will wait if it falls on or near a testing day.
-
You ladies are my kind of girls
HB needs a wine emoji. OK, drink till it's pink it is then.. of course I totally get if people choose to refrain altogether. @MrsDynamiteGal: I'm with you here though, I'd probably lay off near a testing day too.
All this wine talk... looking forward to a glass when I get home...
-
@SupernovaJ: Cheers, dear!
Hubby pulled through with Merlot and a tiny container of my most recent "craving" (pineapple). -
@Kaohinani: Hubby goals. Enjoy!
-
This is the view from my hotel room. Not a bad place to relax and let this little one settle in. Even found a mocktail
-
@yellowbeach: Absolutely, positively jealous of you at this very moment! Our backyard and lake looks pitiful and gray in comparison to your veiw. #WishingIWereThereInsteadLOL
-
I’m starting to get very worried about Hurricane Florence though. My parents live on the coast and we took DD there for the week while we are in Colorado. I’m worried they may have to evacuate and that we might get stuck out here and expected to be at work (common in any natural disaster event).
Anyone else potentially impacted by the storms?
-
@yellowbeach: Do they have an evacuation plan just in case? (If not, we are in GA, and would accommodate properly for an emergency just as any good Samaritan would.)
-
@yellowbeach: @Kaohinani: Wow, loving the view ladies! It's rainy, cloudy, and meh over here.
@yellowbeach: I know a couple of other people impacted by the storm. Really hoping it dies down without causing any damage. Do you guys have a plan in place worst case scenario?
-
@yellowbeach: Where are your parents? I'm in Baltimore so we might get a lot of rain and high winds but nothing that's expected farther south.
-
They are in Norfolk, VA which has started some mandatory evacuations for Zone A low lying areas. They are zone C so might not have to leave. DH and I live 100 miles west in Richmond, VA but I’m worried about the flooding in both places. DH and I are both ER docs, so we are considered essential personnel and can’t evacuate. If my parents have to evacuate they could come to our house, but my dad is disabled and can’t go up and down stairs, so that’s a bad plan.
Been trying to text/call them to sort some of this out but they aren’t answering for whatever reason.
-
Femara is a sneaky little thing, don't get me wrong I still prefer it over clomid... But here I am thinking I missed o, nope! My boobs are aching and my left ovary feels like it's trying to fill my entire lower left quadrant.
-
@Sams Mom: So? Good news?
-
@Sams Mom: Good thing you’re so in tune with your body! I’m with you. My ovaries are so crampy. Feeling so bloated and crampy, and dog tired. It’s gonna take every fiber of my being to rally and BD tonight.
Curious to see your temps tomorrow!
-
@Kaohinani: I'm thinking I'll have a positive OPK tonight or tomorrow. Unfortunately my husband left for work at 4:30 this evening and I didn't get home until 5:20, so the soonest we get it on is 3:30 in the morning 🤦♀️
-
@Sams Mom: 🤞
🤞
-
I also played chicken/tempted fate. My sister keeps telling me to go to these 100% organic pads and tampons and I tell her no because i have to go out of my way to buy them... Well I bought some tonight, and I know it sounds crazy... But maybe I'll not get to use them for 9 months.
-
Just changed our flights to get in about 12 hours earlier on Wed. Hoping that will be enough. Was really looking forward to my Rocky Mountain ⛰ respite.
-
@yellowbeach: that's unfortunate that you don't get to spend as much time in the mountains. I'm praying for minimal damage from this hurricane
-
So I woke up early because of my husband coming home from work, checked my temp, 96.65° average after taking it 4 times. Even with the BBT adjuster since I was 2 hours early, it says 96.83°
I have no idea what's going on
-
@Sams Mom: Perhaps you need a new thermometer?!?!? Did Sam's kitten get to it again? If not, perhaps temp vaginally? (That is all I can think of ... I'm sorry.
Perhaps your best bet would be to call your OBGYN and ask if there are any contraindications between Femara and any of your medications that would cause low BBT or a drop in body temperature. Your body could be doing what it is supposed to be doing but it is not being represented on the BBT chart due to complex chemical interactions of medications. Just a theory. 🤓 -
9 DPO - ALL "non-symptoms" basically gone this morning - an occasional cramp and some (TMI) gas (*lovely). Temp
-
@Paranundrum: How are you feeling today? Still fighting illness? ☹
-
@Kaohinani: I’m still hopeful for you! 9 dpo is the earliest lines usually show, tomorrow or the next day will be more telling!
@yellowbeach: that’s a bummer to get back early, but I’d do it too
@Sams Mom: glad you didn’t miss o! -
@yellowbeach: we’re supposed to visit my friend in NoVa this weekend so I’m slightly worried about the hurricane! I’ve been trying to read up on it and need to look for my rain gear.
@Sams Mom: what brand are the organic ads/tampons? I’ve been wanting to try Cora ones but keep hoping I won’t need them... but then I keep getting my period so maybe I should just get them
I also saw a brand called Rael on amazon that looked intriguing. @Kaohinani: 9dpo is still early!! Fingers crossed for a second line in the next few days 🤞
-
So I’m not sure if this temp spike is just bc I slept underneath some huge luxurious down comforter last night or if it’s a sign of anything else. 🤔
-
@starlitsky: Thanks. I may POAS on 11 dpo if temps stay elevated and I feel "adventurous." IDK, I haven't really been invested in this cycle. I feel like after last month's cycle, I just can't be so invested ... It drained me. Anyway, I use Rael organic pads, liners, and fem wash. (Purchased from either the website or Amazon.) They are amazing and come in 3 or 4 different absorbancies and lengths. My daughter prefers the organic cotton pads and liners from the Honest Co which can be purchased through their website, Amazon, OR at Target. (We also use Honest Co night diapers and training pants for my son.)
-
@yellowbeach: Looking
-
@LAZB: Thank you. Maybe on 11 dpo? IDK. After last month, I'm not holding out this cycle. I'm hopeful but I'm not holding my breath or making bets.
-
@starlitsky: most of the state is supposed to lose power. I’d think twice about your trip if you have any specific power needs or if getting stuck in NOVA would be bad for you guys.
-
@Sams Mom: So weird! I assumed it would be a one-off temp but obviously it's still low today...
@Kaohinani: Chart looks good despite the BFN! It's still really early! All of my non-symptoms are gone today too.
-
Husband JUST called. His commanding officer notified him that he has training with the Army reserves this weekend up in SC for an IRB ... What are the chances it may get cancelled or they will relocate his training event to the reserve center here (GA) instead?
#MilitaryLogic #TrainInTheRain #WhatAHurricaneIsComing?!?! -
Temp is slightly down today but still high overall.
My chart looks good but I don't feel good about this month. I guess TTC has made me a pessimist!
-
@skinnycow: Thanks. IDK, if the disappearance of "non-symptoms" is a good or bad thing. (*shrugs*)
Your chart looks great ... We can feel subpar about this month together.
-
@Kaohinani: Yes, I'm still feeling crappy and have a fever.
BBT is still up, but I'm guessing that's because of the fever too.
I'll stay home for a few days and try to get better before returning to work. Luckily they were able to replace me at the moment so I can relax a bit. -
Well I was a ding dong and laid back down after my luxurious 30 minute shower without a toddler stripping down and jumping in with me. I even got to wash & condition my hair AND shave my whole legs and my armpits... In ONE shower... It was amazing...
I digress. I slept in and was late to work... oops
I will try temping with both thermometers tomorrow to see if it is a dysfunctional thermometer or my temps are really tanking to unmedicated cycle levels. Both of my ovaries are hurting quite a bit too, so at least my husband is off the next few days.
@starlitsky: I cannot for the life of me remember what brand they are. I'll have to look tonight.
@yellowbeach: that temp raise could be a good sign, I have no idea how transfers translate to temping but it's a good thing usually for a regular cycle.
@skinnycow: Yea I have no idea what is going on, one of my 4 temps was as low as a 96.42.
@Kaohinani: I'm still crossing everything for you... well, except my legs because you know, fertile week. That was terrible... But I had to say it. *monkey covering eyes emoji because I'm not on my phone*
Curious to see your temps tomorrow!
