Thanks for the advice everyone. I felt some on and off cramps today (CD 22). Feels like it could be PMS. Waiting for wondfos to come in the mail so I can confirm and drink big glass of wine. This baby-making thing sure is trick!!!!!. Not sure why they scared us so much in middle school health class!!!!!
Out of curiosity, do you ladies wonder how some of your friends/acquaintances even get pregnant? Some people I meet seem to hate their partners--- I love my hubby and think he's really sexy but it's not always easy having sex every other day. How do they work it out and get preggers so easy?! Must be tortuous. I'm probably the only crazy that wonders that:)

@Lady Hibiscus: it's all luck. With LO #1 we were preventing and had sex one time before I thought I was ovulating and got pregnant. So, go figure. We want to get pregnant and have been trying now for 5 months.

@littlek- I'm sure it'll happen again soon for you! FX.
I'm not really sure what to expect but it is fun trying. just hope nothing of mine is "broken" . I would have no way of knowing!

@HolisticMama: aww good luck to you honey!
@Cole @LittleK nice goodie drawers!!!!
@Lady Hibiscus: my case is the same as LittleK although I am only on cycle 1 of trying for a 2nd baby. But we also had one day luck. People always tell me we can take our time and we won't have any problem because it happened so easily the first time but there's NO guarantee the stars will align every time. I would never take that for granted. I hope we all get our BFPs soon.

@anyajenkins: welcome. Its nice to have you join us. I'm not sure abiut your chart. I think i can see some kind of rise although not as clear as previously but without secondary indicators i cabt say. Do you feel like you have O'd?

@littlek: Exactly why I must stop testing! I'm psyching myself out lol. It's 3:45 and I'm researching fertility monitors like I don't have to get up for work in about an hour!

@dc yoga bee: it's 3.45 on the west coast and I'm doing the same. I think I'll pick up some OPKs at the drugstore today while LO is in her class and if those don't work for us next cycle I'll get a fertility monitor.
I had some teeny tiny spotting yesterday so I'm pretty discouraged that I'm out this month. Just waiting for AF's official appearance but trying to hold onto some hope

@sandy: Gah I'm sorry. We've used digital opk for three months so I'm ready to move on to the monitor. Charting is not an option for me bc I wake up all through the night. Research also tells me it tells you after you've ovulated, which is good to confirm your ovulating but won't do me any good after the fact! I barely have cm bc I take a lot of allergy medication so that's not a reliable method for me either. Wow, this just turned into a womp womp womp story sorry! Hope you get some rest, and youre not out yet!

@sandy: I'm sorry.
Just FYI- if you want the CBFM, you need to start using it early. It takes a few cycles to get to know your body. So, if you are thinking you want to use it, I would order one soon but also use another back up method.

@littlek: good to know! I thought I just has to start it the first day of my cycle.

@littlek: love the stash! You and @cole are so organized! Im sure our housecleaner also wonders about the trash but I haven't bothered trying to hide it...yet. We'll see how crazy I get if this goes on too long.
@dc yoga bee: I highly recommend the FM. I used it our first cycle trying with our son and loved it. I haven't busted it out yet but I plan to next month if need be. OPKs are too stressful for me.

@littlek: My Yorkies! They're some needy boogers. They cry for snacks at 1am and breakfast at 4am, and the girl is getting ilder so sometimes cries to go out, and then I have to potty, or just can't sleep, or nightmares. I have a lot of those! I dont want to order the monitor jusy yet in case we get lucky this cycle, but then again I kind of want to!
GOLD / squash / 13576 posts
@sandy: maybe it was just me but the first time I used the monitor I only got all highs and no peak. The second cycle it worked better and I got both highs and peaks.

I hide my trash from my nanny! And sometimes from my husband - its often better if he doesn't know it's time.

@septca: Did you test again?
Don't think I'm crazy but I had a dream about @septca: and @dc yoga bee: which is crazy because I've never met either of you. And at the end of the dream @septca: tells us she got a BFP. So, hopefully, my dream is accurate.
GOLD / pomegranate / 3688 posts
@littlek: Ha ha. One can hope.
I woke up certain AF was here - bloated, cramping, very wet feeling, etc. Went to the bathroom fully expecting to see red, but instead I had a ton of creamy CM. Tested, BFN. Still feeling like AF will come any second. I only have one Wondfo left (thank god - this stupid pack has given me an evap every single time), so I think I will wait to test again until Sunday (AF is due Saturday).

Ooohs, lots of testing happening this weekend! Hopefully there will be a few BFPs in there! I'm still planning to test, although I probably haven't even ovulated.

@Adira: I am going to freak out if you are pregnant.

No official POASers the next couple of days! I just finished choosing the images for our wedding album and that was so hard. I will probably make more on like shutterfly or something because the one through our photographer only holds 80 images. This led me to today's question/topic!
Post your favorite picture(s) of you and your SO! If you're comfortable, of course. If not, share your favorite memory of you and your SO, be it from your wedding, your first date, a funny story, a sweet one. Share!
I'll go first:
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Smurfette: Me too!!!!
@littlek: Meh - temps are pretty much staying consistent, but low.
GOLD / squash / 13576 posts
@Adira: It actually looks like you are getting more consistent. So, that's good!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@littlek: I'm not sure those high temps I had earlier in my cycle really mean anything. I was sick those two weeks, so probably was running a fever. Gahhh, this chart is useless to me!! I wish AF would just show up so I could start over (or please please please let me be pregnant... though I think my temps are too low for that to even be a possibility)
nectarine / 2358 posts
@littlek: Thank you!
@bushelandapeck: Thanks! Yours are so pretty, too! I really feel the love in them

@Mrs.Panda: wow, you are beautiful! Did I remember you said you had some Korean in you?
Here are a couple from our housewarming, they are not the best pics but I loved the night, it was Tarantino themed so we are dressed as Clarence and Alabama.
nectarine / 2358 posts
@Snowdrop: Thank you! Yes I'm half Korean :] and LOL your pics are awesome!! You rock those leggings, girl!
pear / 1846 posts
@Mrs.Panda: haha I was a bit nervous about wearing that morning when AF came you can tell in your eyes and skin tone, your kids will be gorgeous!

@Mrs.Panda: I think I'm going to end up being an early tester next month, so you can remove me from the TBD list. I've got a monitoring appointment with my RE on Tuesday, and will know better then how things are looking, but best case I'm looking at a Feb 2nd-4th POAS date. Thanks for checking though!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
Count me in for Feb POAS... I am waiting for AF to come & go (hopefully at the end of the month, don't know if my cycle is regular) so I can start charting and go full on TTC in Feb!

@Mrs.Panda: @bushelandapeck: both of your wedding photos are beautiful!!!

@sandy: Where are you at on the West Coast? I'm there too. Feel free to wall me if you would rather share there. :smile:
@Snowdrop: @bushelandapeck: @Mrs.Panda: You are all so pretty!
Big fail to SMEP last night. We were both too tired. Since its only CD 9. I am thinking I can get us back on track this evening.
