Hellobee Boards

@septca: I'm glad you are sticking around... WE would miss you!

I feel like January has been slow.. hoping we see some BFPs this weekend!

@HolisticMama: Thank you! Still feeling good so far!

@Crystal: I use a glass cup as well that I keep under my sink and wash after each use. But glass is nice, since you can see through it! Good luck!

@Crystal: I have no modesty. LOL. I also walk back to my office with the pee stick with me. Haha. I'm so bad. You _could_ be filling up a glass with water and drinking it. You don't see many people walking around work with a dixie cup.

@dc yoga bee: Really? That's so weird. No kitchen at work? If we didn't have a kitchen- I would just throw my dirty dishes in my bag to take home to wash.

@HolisticMama: @Crystal: Large federal agency in a historic building downtown DC. No breakroom I take my dirty dishes home as well in a reusable bag. But, let's be real- I eat out practically all week!

@dc yoga bee: I take mine home to wash because I don't feel either option is very sanitary here.

I am officially in no help for BFPs this month as AF has promptly showed up. Onwards and upwards!

@dc yoga bee: I have to wash my work dishes in the bathroom. We don't have a sink in our office. Not sure what's so gross about it? I don't leave food in the sink a la college or anything?

@Eko: boo...sorry...NEXT month has got to be our month!

I'm officially a roll over too..AF is here

@septca: I f i were you i wouldn't jump the gun to fully wean unless you are ready. It has come to my attention that a lot of non nursing moms are having the same weird PP cycles i am and I think some of it is just hormonal changes from giving birth, carrying more or less weight etc. I think you also mentioned that you came off BCP last month and i know it can take a while sometimes for cycles to regulate. I decided that for the first 6 months i am not going to fully wean but just make sure there is at least a 7 hour period of time when my son doesnt nurse. I have also cut the duration of sessions which Kelly Mom said can affect things. If you feel ready do it but i dont want you to feel pressured then do it and see no change but be heartbroken. A gradual effort could work almost as well. Wish you could join for Feb but glad you will stick around and keep TTC just in case!~

@littlek: remember December didnt pick up till the very end of the month! here is hoping we have a big wave of unprecidented BFPs soon!!!

@HolisticMama: hey there sweetness! I am on CD16 and expected an eggy on my monitor but lo and behold i got yet another high! this means i have to keep up the BD with my
husband. he is super sexy but i wont lie i would love a little break. hopefully he wont see it as too much of a chore. he has been so good so far. If you ovulated then CM shouldnt be super fertile and it seems like its usually most fertile on like O-2 so maybe you are in the perfect zone! FX

@sarahnicole218: we keep my cup under the sink too! it's a reusable plastic cup

@Crystal: grr i HATE all the waiting too!!!! i am oly on my first cycle and it has been unbearable. i really need to stop obssessing but it's hard. thats what i do best.

@dc yoga bee: i agree! come on BFPs!!!!

@Eko: so sorry honey! FX for next month.

@Adira sorry about BFN. i hope it's on the near horizon.

@sandy: Blah!!! sorry about AF but glad you are out of limbo! i hope you have a happy valentines day in store!!!!!

@Adira: @MrsMccarthy: a valentine BFP would be so fun

@however briefly: fx for you!!
@sandy: @eko: boo

I'm SO hungry today.
MUST be a pregnancy symptom, right? RIGHT?!

So what are you ladies doing this weekend?
(Look at me! I was taught how to bold!)

I am going up to see a friend in Denver that I haven't seen in a bit. She has three children and one I haven't seen since he was born. He will be about 2 months old. I haven't held a baby in awhile. I'm afraid it will make my ovaries explode.

I'm also doing pilates in the morning and Zumba on Sunday. Monday? Relax. Clean. Read. Relax. Oh...and some homework in there somewhere.

@however briefly: good luck honey and happy 10 years!!!

@MrsMccarthy: do you think the monitor could be off? Is this your first cycle using it? I hear you have to use it for a couple of months for it to get used to your cycle. I'm bad at reading OPKs but that looks pretty positive to me!

@MrsMccarthy: I am such an OPK novice, I will let an expert decide. Those lines sure do look nice to me.

I get OVERLY excited everytime someone posts a test picture. EVEN though I JUST read that you are CD16, I initially was like...

"OH MY GOD!"

But ovulation is still SUPER exciting.

Also- Can I please post this picture everytime someone posts a fun test picture?

I have a question about the digital OPKs. I stopped using them 4-5 days ago because I wasn't taking them correctly and they were stressing me out. I never got a smiley face but assumed I O'd sometime already. Today I took one with FMU and there was a line, not positive, but a darker line than I would expect for a control line. You still see a line after you O, correct? Now I'm worried that I might not have yet. Sigh. If I did, I have no idea what DPO I am....

@bushelandapeck: I've been using it for three months and the first month was only highs but the last two I got about 5 highs then two eggs then high then low. Perhaps it reads me on the late side though because last cycle I ovulated on CD18 and the cycles prior I ovulated on CD20 so perhaps it just expects me to ovulate later??? I have heard about people getting highs on the monitor and no egg but still getting pregnant.

@HolisticMama: inside...it's way too cold here
