Hellobee Boards

@LindsayInNY: Oh okay. That's a bummer! Maybe a name change or a completely new user id is in order?

@MrsMccarthy: How old are you? I only ask since you put your age in play with the "older age" comment.

@Raindrop: You have me on pins and needles over here!!!!!!

@MrsMcD: I was totally thinking about that for LindsayInNY but didn't have the right words. Thank you for saying what I wanted to say!

@Raindrop: You were much nicer with a calm, "that's a bummer."

And I understand about "not feelin' it." Its a tough journey but you will get there soon. In the meantime, have a little hope!

@LindsayInNY: I am so sorry someone is so sad that they are making your life harder. You deserve better my dear. Hugs

@MrsMcD: haha thank you. I'm not being put out to pasture by any means but once you are my age trying for 6 months is more like a year since egg quality and quantity can start to diminish more quickly. At 6 months they like to have you seen for testing as opposed to a year of trying. That said I do feel like my first couple cycles breast-feeding might make it harder to get a true picture. By end of summer it will be time for interventions. I am as exhausted as anyone trying for this many cycles though.

@Raindrop: I thought about both... I think a new account would be the best option. I don't know if a new user name would be totally secure, especially with how she seems to be thus far.

@MrsMcD: Oh, and then publicizes it at work?! Nothing I'd rather talk to my boss about than my IF...

@CupQuakeWalk: I was given a couple options... Change this name, create new account and transfer gold... I suppose I could also delete this account entirely but my pomelo status!

Good morning! How is everyone doing today?

@septca: Doing OK! I took your rec and went out for doughnuts yesterday and it worked! I felt better, haha.
Can you, please put me at 4/27? I can't say where i'll be in my cycle on the 27th, but i'm testing anyway because we have a vacation planned for that week so i'll test before we hop on the plane. Thank you:)

@doxielove: LOL. My husband knows I post here... I don't think he has any idea how much I post though... Though it's just the type of person he is... back when I use to keep a blog, he was not interested with what I shared with the world.

@CupQuakeWalk: Yay you are on the board now. Good luck! FX for you and the 27!

@septca: Thanks for reposting this.

I did not pee on any sticks today either. I don't know I guess I just don't want to see the stark white lines. So I think I might just wait for AF to show up, but we will see.... I seem to go back and forth about this... do I want to know.... do I *not* want to know.

I am feeling a some cramps today so maybe AF will come soon! I'm CD44 (yay long cycles! *sarcasm*)

@doxielove: My husband knows in the back of his mind that I "have internet friends," and think he would prefer not to know more. I have a couple of friends from my 6+ month group on WB that I know and talk to often in real life, and he is always like, "wait, how do you know them again?" What he doesn't know can't hurt him.

@CupQuakeWalk: Moved you! FX.

@Raindrop: I get it. But you are listed for Friday which means you are REQUIRED to POAS.

I will probably start POAllthSs tomorrow. No joke. That's insanely early and a complete waste of money but I don't care. I am feeling it this month. And then I have a good, long laugh at myself because I have been completely, totally, 100% *positive* that I was KU every single one of the 19 cycles I have TTCed. I wish I could tell the newbs that in a way that ddn't come off as condescending or too negative... at least I have the experience and the outlook to be able to laugh at myself at this point (I POAS early and often and try not to let myself get too down about it... since I have only been right 5.5% of the times...).

I don't know what's going on with my cycle... I OPKed the days I usually get positives (based on past cycles) and they were negative. I stopped temping then started again after the negatives and I'm definitely having post-O temps. I'm on CD23. Usually my cycles are 31-32 days (without progesterone). I've been having small amounts of brown CM since CD17 or 19. Today there's more and some red earlier when I wiped. I've been uber stressed and assumed O would've been delayed, if anything. Or if O was early because of acupuncture? I've never had a short cycle like this though, or whatever it is. Anyone have any insight as to what might be going on? Way to possibly ruin my vacation stupid body...

@LindsayInNY: I'm gonna ask the elephant in the room question, but... you've tested, right?

@Raindrop: I've never had a "gear up to O but don't O" moment otherwise I'd think that was the case. So bizarre. There was one cycle where I Oed late, around CD28 and I was kicking myself for not continuing to BD as often after... Such a mind game!

@septca: I tested last cycle (after progesterone blood work and whatnot) and got full AF. Plus had pre-O temps, creamy pre-O CM... I've never Oed early and never had this brown spotting/CM/whatever this early in a cycle. That's what's so weird.

@septca: I don't think it's gearing up to O because my temps are so high (like normal post-O temps). And I've never had an annovultory cycle either. It's gonna mess up next cycles planned medicated plan if AF arrives over vacation though....

@LindsayInNY: do you trust your temps? Maybe they're a little thrown off because of your changed atmosphere? Is your sleep relatively the same?

@Raindrop: OH NO DEAR, you're not getting out of poas for us. We live vicariously through our next schedule POASer.

@CupQuakeWalk: I have no reason not to trust my temps. And I don't think anything has changed with my sleep? It's the spotting/discharge that is concerning me now. Ugh, stupid body.
