@Radish: hahah that one I get! If I weren't as old as the hills I might go that route too, but time she's awastin! We got pregnant on the first try too but weren't really trying. I think I was kind of amAzed when it didn't happen like clockwork again but now I have a much more realistic approach. Doesn't mean it still won't blow if I not KU this month but I am not expecting it that much this time. Pregnacy can change our hormones a bit too even if you aren't still nursing like I am. Are your cycles pretty much the same as before? How long have you had a cycle?

@MrsMccarthy: Nope. Of the 4 cycles I have had, I have ovulated a week late for 3 of them. I have never been on birth control, though, so I had a while to get to know my cycle prior to TTC the first time. I have also been nursing, but LO is almost weaned.

There will be so much wine consumed in my house tonight. I just found out that I got passed over for a big promotion. For the second time in 9 months. Wait. Make that whiskey. There will be much whiskey consumed in my house tonight. Thank god tomorrow is a snow day and I'm too early in the TWW to care about alcohol.

Okay, gals, I SURVIVED! First ever full Brazilian has been had. (I used to get what they called an "In-betweenie" at my old place.) It hurt like crap and I am REALLY glad I changed my appointment to a day earlier so I can rest before it's BD time!
@septca: at the risk of taking it to a new level, even for HB, I literally thought of you during it! The lady was instructing me to breathe in deeply and on my exhale she'd pull the wax off....and I kept thinking of your labor breathing practice!!!

@mfa_lady: awwwwww - I'm touched! So glad you survived! And - yes - you need a day to rest after that. You'll be tender tomorrow. I have friends who swear that Brazillians hurt worse than childbirth. I say they must have had *some* epidural!!!

@septca: Sorry about you getting passed over! You definitely deserve some whiskey.

Okay ladies I need your advice! Last night husband and I BD for the first time this month. I work up with some good EWCM and got these OPKS (two are from the AM and one is from afternoon). Should I push for BD tonight as well or can we wait till tomorrow. My monitor gave me another high when I was expecting a peak. The original plan was to go EOD till peak then do both peak days and the day following!!! Do these OPK look positive? I feel like they are close but not quite.

@septca: I'm so sorry to hear about your promotion! Ill have a glass with you tonight in spirit!

@septca: so sorry to hear! think of something happy and relax! @MrsMccarthy: don't think they are since test line needs to be at least as dark as control? If it's not difficult, BD anyway!

@HolisticMama: For PMS, of course our husbands see it worse than anyone else. Its not like the other women in his life would let all the crazy out. Though he is inciting the crazy by saying things like that!
@Radish: Good luck!
@septca: I am so sorry, that sucks. I am a whisky girl myself, so I will be drinking along side you in solidarity.
@MrsMccarthy: I don't think they are quite positive yet, but look close! If you BD tonight, will you be up for it tomorrow? I think tomorrow might be the more important time, so if tonight would make that difficult to happen, I wouldn't. If I could still BD tomorrow, I totally would to get some extra spermies in there.
@mfa_lady: Was it bad? I usually take some advil and they don't really bug me all that much.

@septca: I'm sorry about your promotion... They don't know what they're missing!
@MrsMccarthy: I say they are close, but not quite. I'm sure you will have positive ones tomorrow.

@Crystal: It was pretty bad. BUT, it's been ages since I got a wax and had never done the full monty before. Also, (COMPLETE TMI) she told me that I had "deep roots." UGH. I'm sure you can imagine why she was telling me that. But, I survived! And hopefully will be ready to BD tomorrow night or Friday morning!

Tested at 5pm after a 4 hour old (which was PAINFUL) and urine was diluted from drinking a bunch at school! What do you think?

@snowjewelz: @Crystal: @Mrs.Panda: thanks! I totally agree! Now that I look they are close but not quite there and I'd rather rest tonight and cover tomorrow and maybe a few days in a row including Valentines day! Valentines day sex is much more fun and I don't want to spend it. Feeling good because I feel like I am actually going to O this month. Now prying for a BFP or at least a decent luteal phase.

@Mrs.Panda: I turned the brightness of my iPad to 100% and I see a line too!!
nectarine / 2358 posts
@snowjewelz: It's definitely a bit darker in person!! lol thanks for blinding yourself for the cause!
grapefruit / 4028 posts
@Mrs.Panda: OH MY GOSH YAY! I don't see one because my monitor is pretty dark, but I believe that one is there! I can't wait to see the tests get darker, and I am so so happy for you!
@mfa_lady: Ouch! That sounds awful! I hate it when you get them and the people are giving you a running commentary. I prefer to pretend I am on a tropical island, not a darkly lit room with someones face in my hoo.

@Crystal: yea when I was at work I couldn't see ANYTHING so I just trusted what other people were seeing lol

@septca: I tried Pit Putty. I've only been using it for a few days and I'm not in love with it. http://www.bubbleandbee.com/servlet/the-92/natural-deodorant,-organic-deodorant,/Detail
They allege that you actually start smelling a bit more before you start smelling better. We'll see. Good thing I'm not a big hugger. But of course...wanting to start sexytime soon...I hate not smelling good.
Thanks for your feedback on that statement. I often can be WAY oversensitive. So it's nice to see that I'm not just totally crazy.
And so so sorry about your promotion. That's a HUGE bummer.
@snowjewelz: I think I was just bummed because I have been trying really hard to actually be pretty chill during my cycle...trying to go with the flow and be accepting of my hormone shifts.
@Crystal: Yeah. I'm not even at an emotional point in my cycle and I got all quiet and sad. It was...sad. I wish that everyone had tickers under their name or something just so I could see where everyone was on their cycle. What CD are you now?
@Mrs.Panda: I am SO DARN happy for you. SO SO SO SOO happy!
@Adira: I told @MrsMccarthy that we were CM twins last cycle. So BD twins is most definitely NOT creepy.
@MrsMccarthy: I'm still at work and LITERALLY laughed out loud when I read " filled me up with spermies"

@Littlebit: @Crystal: @sslm: @Radish: @tequiero21: @Torchwood: @bushelandapeck: @HolisticMama: Thank you all so much!! I'm so excited but I will keep testing to make sure they get darker. Eep!
@HolisticMama: LMAO!!! Thanks!!

My husband and I just spent some time looking at my transitional saliva ferning. It was fun, because we both thought it was really really cool.
We'll take anything that will help us pinpoint our "sexy window," which I sang to him in a song.
I'm loving my $5 dollar microscope. It's working surprisingly great.
