@littlek: wow, I miss a day and huge news! So happy for you!

Well I've tested and it's official, BFN. Honestly, I'm relieved . AF has been SO weird this month I was deeply concerned I might have an ectopic pregnancy or something equally bad. Bring it on April! Depending on when AF officially started I'll likely be testing right around April 30.

@littlek: Thank you. No worries though. I want my BFP to feel good, and if I'd gotten it, I'd have been worrying about it still. Haha.

@Crystal: Thank you! Every month brings new hope.

I think you should be fine. Definitely take him up on it. Honestly, it might actually HELP if it relaxes you.

@Crystal: I agree. It can't hurt, and might help. There's a woman in my area who does fertility massage, but it's pretty pricey. One rule of marriage- never turn down your husband when he offers a massage.

I am stressed out. This weekend we packed up DH's apartment, cleaned it (no small task), and had movers do the heavy lifting. The kitchen is a disaster with boxes everywhere. DH has one more week at the old job, so he is staying with a friend this week, then moves back! I also have to negotiate my new job contract this week, and I find that so stressful. I am 10DPO and while I have tried to not focus on it at all, that's just impossible. I am symptom stalking, but DH says everything is due to stress. I am more tired, think I might be having breast enlargement, more CM, worse acne, and my nails are more brittle. Most likely stress, but still fx!

@Crystal: Still hammering out the schedule. I can't really take a day off for that since DH's grandmother died and I have to take a day off for her memorial service. It's mostly unpacking, so needs to be done by us, but good thoughts! LOL about jury duty- it is the last chance- I was supposed to do jury duty on CD7, but was excused. I am trying really hard not to get my hopes up again, because our timing wasn't great (O-4, O-2 since DH had a work trip, and my stress level has been super high). I am trying to tell myself that with everything going on, it isn't a good time for a baby, but you all know I would be thrilled (and freaking out). Enjoy the massage! What are you doing to distract yourself during the TWW?

@Crystal: hope you took him up on that massage....I know when my DH says that it is his gate way to other things.....lol I have learned over the years....hope you got a "real" one

@RonniLeigh: Bummers on the BFN

@Snowdrop: Getting there, for sure. Congrats on the 12 day LP! That's fantastic. A great improvement. I've heard 12-14 days is actually the ideal, so you're moving your way up! I'm so please that the doctor you're working with is helping you so much. I can't wait to get started with her. Now I just need to coax hubby into not making me wait. We're pretty close to the same CD (I think I'm somewhere around 2 or 3) so it looks like we're going to be cycle buddies. Fingers crossed this one is "the one" for you!

Is it just me but there are a ton of BFPs this month! I'm really excited because it feels like a big BFP month.

Hubs last night said he feels good about this month but I'm still not there... I guess I don't want to get my hopes up.

@RonniLeigh: Its never official until AF starts.

@doxielove: I'm so sorry you have having this pain and discomfort. I think you should go to the doctors and see what is going on. Its possible you had a UTI from last month and it just hasn't gone away. Since you are TTC, its best not to have infections like that distracting you and impeding your efforts. Best of lucky, lady! I know those UTIs suck big time.

@AmeliaBedilia: Sorry you're having a stressful time. Moving and changing jobs is SO stressful, especially on top of TTC!

@doxielove: you need to get that treated girl! You don't want to end up with a kidney infection!

@MrsMcD: I am happy with the length of my LP if it stays at 12 days but my progesterone levels are still low. 7dpo this month was 25, 30 confirms O (we use different units here in the UK) I think I have a type 2 LP defect which is where the corpus luteum never produces much progesterone but survives the normal length of time.

@RonniLeigh: Keep working on him! You have to chart for three months anyway, maybe that could get him to go now? I have zero hope for this cycle to be honest, I just want it to be over as quickly as possible (cue longest cycle ever).

@AmeliaBedilia: How are things going?

This month is front loaded with POASers!! Who is still testing this week? You aren't out until AF shows up.....

We also have a ton of testers next week!

@MrsMcD: Yah like you!! Fingers crossed!

Girls... If I'm not knocked up by next week, I think DH and I will be taking a two month break. We really wanted to go to a wedding in Maui in December and, while he said he didn't want to stop trying because of this wedding, he now wants to take advantage of a spectacular hotel offer that needs to be booked by April 10. I don't think he understands that pregnant girls can't fly in their final months of pregnancy. Whatevs. I'm looking at the silver lining here...

@MrsMcD: Is the hotel refundable? Maybe you can keep TTC and if you get KU you can cancel? DH and I were set to take a 3 month break this time last year because having a Dec-Feb baby would NOT be great for my job. We ending up not taking a break and I'm so glad we kept at it because I obviously am not KU yet. I would have hated missing those 3 months! I always would have wondered, "what if..." Just sayin'

ETA - not to be a total debbie downer!

@doxielove: Also as an aside, I've basically put off TTC for years because it wasn't a great time for my job.... and now that clearly wasn't the best idea.

@Crystal: just waiting to go back for treatment in may when all the testing is done but I love how attentive they are. Been having 1hr charting lessons every two weeks where they also review my cycles and communicate with the doctor. Never come across anything so thorough!
Congrats on the great BD schedule!
