Well, I have been silently lurking (again) on the board but I have good news. FF gave me crosshairs for O this month, only 2-3 days later than my βtypicalβ cycle date for ovulation. I think you could categorize us as NTNP and looks like we only got O-3 this month, so I donβt want to have a POAS date. Figure though, I should start trying to join in on the discussions!

@yellowbeach: get anything good on call yesterday?
I was on call yesterday too. I was on Surgery call though. I am Urology, so after this year all those priapism and penile fractures are mine! Haha
-
I'm out ladies. Negative test this morning and AF showed up shortly after. Guessing that test was an error. On to next month. Good luck to the rest you, I'll be cheering you on!
-
@Yellowbeach: Where are you? I need your ER expertise!
Background: I was playing with my pup when she adjusted her grip and chomped down onto my thumb. She pierced the flesh. I immediately rinsed it out bc I fear infection. I wrapped it and held a cold compress on it. 10 mins later it was still bleeding and hurts like all heck. I put a bandage on it, reapplying pressure while I held the compress then graduated to holding my hand over my head (so it was above the heart.) The bleeding has stopped (unless I accidentally bend my thumb and split it open) but it is still crazy sore.
My question: Since it's a dog bite, should I go to urgent care or the ER, even if the bleeding has ceased?
-
@MsHangry: Yay! I am so excited for you!!!
@phillybaby2013: I'm sorry to read you are out!
Thanks for becoming a cheerleader!
-
@Kaohinani: most entities are moving away from ABX for dog bites unless thereβs high risk for infection (street mutt, pt is immunocompromised, etc). Cat and human bites definitely get ABX. If you go to the ER they legally have to report the bite to animal control. Not sure how you feel about that. They would probably do an X-ray to look for a retained foreign body or fracture, but unlikely. They wonβt sew it up bc they donβt want to trap the bacteria in. You might need a tetanus update if itβs been more than 5 years. That help?
-
@yellowbeach: Yes, ma'am. Super helpful! Thank you. Unless it gets worse than reopening and bleeding (which it did now after clearing the supper table), I will self administer care as I am 1st aid (and CPR) certified AND since I do not want my puppy reported. I appreciate your advice.
I think she knicked a vein (gladly not an artery!I have decided to put my old hand brace on to immobilize my thumb so it stops opening.
-
Man, I have a hard time keeping up!
@Phillybaby2013: Iβm sorry youβre out!
@Kaohinani: oh no! I hope your hand recovers well and doesnβt keep reopening for you!
-
@fuzzypeaches: sorry to hear about beta numbers.
-
I apologize to anyone who may be hypersensitive to blood or injury. I just realized that some people may be disgusted or nauseous at the sight of blood or injury. I wasn't thinking ahead when I posted for Yellowbeach's advice nor for my update. I am heartfelt in that I do apologize.
-
@creativemomma15: Thank you.
-
@Kaohinani: Hopefully that helps! My DH had a dog bite injury on his hand last year and it was hard to keep it immobile for him too! His was much more dramatic though with needing stitches, rabies shots, etc. Iβm glad you donβt have to mess with all that!
-
@Sams Mom: I think you may be psychic!!!
(I hope TD lets me keep it!) -
@Kaohinani: Iβm liking that dip. Howβs your thumb this morning?
Small dip for me this morning but temped earlier than usual thanks to DD yelling βbah-woooonβ (balloon) all morning.
-
@yellowbeach: Your chart looks great! Bah-woon
As for me, It is still a bit sore this morning; however, that is to be expected. I did get the bleeding to stop last night, and in order to immobilize it, I put my brace on (from when my thumb was dislocated). It has worked spectacularly well. -
@Lazb: Hope you are having a spectacular time at Disney!
-
@Kaohinani: I know these things
-
@Sams Mom: π€ Then, please
-
@Kaohinani: I do have a good feeling about this cycle for you, but I worry about HOM too
-
Confirmed 3 dpo (still hoping TD adjusts 2 dpo up)

Hi crazy alert over here
Iβm going for my second beta today (first at 11dpo was 12)And I wasnβt supposed to test but todayβs is darker π€ I think itβs still looking bad but I have a spark of hope I think.
This is 11 at the top, middle is 12 (can barely see it) and bottom is 13 (today)
-
@fuzzypeaches: woot woot! Today's is noticeably there! I have everything crossed for you lady! Let us know how the betas go!
-
@fuzzypeaches:
!!
-
@Sams Mom: @bhbee: thanks ladies. I think it will still be a chemical but who knows. Thank God you guys encouraged me to do betas otherwise I would be losing my mind
-
@fuzzypeaches: you're pregnant until proven otherwise, and I've got everything crossed this is your sticky baby
-
So it's 10dpo and my temp is still up-ish, not falling, but not rising either. I'll add my chart too.
@Kaohinani: I'm sorry about your thumb, I hope you're feeling better already. I hate having injuries on my hands, they hurt a lot even when they're not that bad, because hands tend to be on the move most of the time. Sometimes accidents just happen with playful pups, at least in our home they do. No blood so far, but a lot of bumps and bruises.
@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: Lovely temp spikes from both of you!
@fuzzypeaches: The bottom one is definitely a lot darker, fingers crossed!
-
@paranundrum: yay for sustained temps!
-
@Sams Mom: Oh, I forgot and remembered just now! I took my temp 45 minutes earlier than usual, something woke me up, might have been the dream where my tooth fell out with the root and all... So my temp might be a bit higher really. I usually just keep the temp I get if it's not more than an hour earlier.
-
@paranundrum: mine was usually lower if I woke up early (crazy how it's different for everyone). I really hate the dentist, so teeth dreams would have freaked me out
-
@fuzzypeaches: Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS!
I have had a good feeling about this cycle for you and have been super hopeful since your 1st faint BFP. That is why I thought betas would be the definitive for whether or not you truly are pregnant rather than HPTs ... I can't wait to hear that your beta has doubled!@Sams Mom: Your chart looks great!
P.S. I'd even take triplets at this point!@paranundrum: Your chart looks spectacular!
cycle!
-
@Kaohinani: thanks girl Iβll update for sure when I have the result
Howβs your hand?!
@paranundrum: I might have missed this (this thread moves so fast!) are you going to test soon??
-
@fuzzypeaches: I can't wait! π€
As for my hand, it is still a bit sore this morning. I did get the bleeding to stop (FINALLY) last night, and in order to immobilize it, I put on my brace (from when my thumb was dislocated last year). It has worked spectacularly well ... and I hope there are no further complications. π€
-
@Sams Mom: It's the same for me. I meant my temp is lower as I took it earlier and might have been higher if I had taken it on my usual temping time. Second language problems...
I'm not fond of going to the dentist either, but unfortunately have dreams about teeth falling out quite often. This one was especially creepy, because it felt so real.
-
@paranundrum: you're doing much better than I (and English is my only language
That is especially promising lady!
-
@Kaohinani: I'm still refusing to get my hopes up. Ask me again on Tuesday. But I really appreciate your support, thank you for that!
@fuzzypeaches: I usually don't test at all, I rarely have a reason to as my temp drops or I start spotting. My POAS date is the 20th and I probably won't test early.
-
@Sams Mom: If it were me, I would most definitely count redneck.
-
@paranundrum: It is ONLY 3 days away!
Sam's Mom and I will be excited and hopeful FOR YOU. -
@Kaohinani: I know you will and you can bet on me returning the favour!
-
@paranundrum: Thank you!
(October mama)
Good luck, ladies!
