Just posting real quick to say hi and I miss you all!!!!! I will be sitting down tonight and have LOTS to read and I'll update on what's been going on with me! It's been quite a month and I have learned that I am an emotional eater and the scale reflects that....excited to see what everyone has been up to this past month

Hey Ladies!!!! I have missed you guys!! Sorry I have been MIA the past week or so, I was SOOOO sick last week! (Stuffy/runny nose which turned into chest congestion AND nose congestion which turned into Chest congestion with a nice phlemy cough...fever, chills the WORKS) Couldn't take any time off work or school bc I just…

Quick post before class - Welcome to all the newbies!!! Jump in there, it can be a little overwhelming at first but don't let that deter you from posting, asking questions etc etc We are close knit group but are also very welcoming to newcomers! Erica I'm in the same boat, i leave for ONE day and i think i'm going to have…

Getting ready to take hubby out to work...(He's packing so being on here is just helping distract me from the inevidable) BFN again this morning and I think AF is on her way...My temp dropped this morning, but i'm not sure how accurate it is bc it was FREEZING in our bedroom this morning and when i took it again an hour…

Welcome Newbies! Heather - I'm sorry AF is back, that is a bummer. Hopefully this will be your cycle...didn't the psychic say you'd conceive in your February cycle? :-) To chime in on the Nutella comments...I had to stop buying it...grilled peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches are AH-mazing!! Drinking wine and eating…

I'm not sure what it is about you ladies! Everytime you get a snow day, I have a nasty fog day!! Andrea - Get to BD girl! Are you temping too or just OPK? I always do the digital OPK's bc i hate having to interprut the lines! abear - It's the military hospital so it is very similar. I don't know which is worse, not having…

Erica - I understand being happy with your body, i was almost at that point before the holidays..now i've gain a billion lbs and am starting back at square one next week! I hope you stick around though, your knowledge and incite are irreplaceable Pam - I miss the feeling of being sore after a work out, I ended up joining…

So so so frustrated!! Sat at urgent care for them to tell me I still could be pregnant but that all they could tell me about my current pain is that it is probably ligament pain...I've done NOTHING in the past two days to instigate ligament pain! Negative for both UTI and pregnancy, I don't which was more disappointing the…

Quick update from my phone- at about 10am I started having super sharp cramps in my lower abdomen that progressively got worse. They are the same ones I had when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I have literally had to pee every other hour but it doesn't burn to go. So either I'm pregnant or I have a bad UTI or…

Just a real quick post before i head to work, i will catch up tonight i promise Heather I am right there with you, Still BFN for me right now, today WOULD be CD27(i.e 12DPO) for me too (although in reality it is CD58) i'm not going to test again until wednesday morning. One more week for it to come up + on it's own before…

Happy Friday! As with most days recently it is bitter sweet. Happy for the weekend and happy to be home from work...but not too fond of the impending changes that will be happening soon... Pam - Girls night sounds fun! My mom and I are very close and most times i would try to include her with at home girls night (she's not…

Pam I can't tell you how many time's I've done that! I'll wake up at 2am thinking dam I forgot to temp! Then look at the clock and go back to sleep lol I don't know what this snow is you guys are talking about as it does not get that cold here, however we have our own version of pesky white stuff that comes with winter and…

Oh Erica! That is a slap in the face isn't it! I might have gone and sat somewhere else...I'm sorry you had to deal with that! Not to even try to compare what you were feeling, but yesterday while sitting in one of my classes yesterday (it was the first day of this particular class) and the teacher (who I had met last…

Yup - it was negative, but that was to be expected. l'm not really disappointed or surprised. I realized AFTER the fact about the whole digital thing and that it probably takes a really dark clear preggo line to signal the pregnant thing...but I HATE interpreting lines! Well, guess i'll just have to buy another one for…

So somehow i have convinced myself i want to test in the morning...not sure WHY bc I will only be 7DPO and i know I am just setting myself up for unnecessary disappointment....but I've got that "must pee on sticks" feeling....and I have a digital test in my bathroom cabinet that is beckoning me...taunting me if you…

Yes - Saturday starts HPTesting - it will be 10DPO and the hubs and I are going to San Fran to see Daniel Tosh that night and i want to not drink if i am...if it says negative i won't believe it until after 18DPO but i would like to know early if i can! The military discount at the gym is the same as student discount but…

So far over all I'd say today has been a success! Got everyone out the door on time, made it to campus early enough to find parking (which is a big deal considering it took me over 30min last week to find parking!) Then after my first class I decided to venture out in town on foot to find the YMCA to see what they had to…

RONYA!!! YIPPIE!!!! So excited for you guys!!! Hope i'm in the same boat this weekend..I am anylizing the *kitten* out of my temp charts haha Pam - That is good that you've been eating well. And as for sleep...best layed plans...that ALWAYS happens to me, i'll plan to get more sleep then i'll get sucked into a Teen mom…

Heather, I've learned once the military lifestyle is in your blood it there to stay! I can't imagine any other lifestyle! ALso...I'm on CD50! Going to start testing on CD 55 which is 10DPO and hoping i have enough HCG to come back positive! KCurtis- that is terrifying what you sister and your family is going thru! I'm so…

BFP= big fat positive DPO= days past ovulation OPK = ovulation predictor kit

Thanks Erica, I assure you I am no stranger to deployments (my father did 27years in the navy) but it never gets any easier and it's obviously different this time since it's my husband. The hardest part has been preparing for the worst. Getting will's together and filling out form after form about how I want to be notified…

Happy Monday Ladies! You all know how i feel about monday's! Super motivated that it is a fresh start (although i don't plan to start logging foods etc until after the hubs leaves) I still feel really motivated to get stuff done! I took a few notes as i read thru the posts but i did it from my phone so PLEASE forgive me if…

Happy Saturday ladies! (I didn't take notes, going to rely on memory and if I forget, i'll get you guys on the next wave this afternoon :-) Pam - Yuck that bark taste is back! It's been gone for a while, but you said they didnt change your meds? So any other changes that could be causing it? Ron - Keeping my fingers…

HMKAN! absolutely you can join! Welcome! As Erica said, we are a very diverse group of women at various stages of ttc! So, I ended up choosing something close, fast and terribly unhealthy! There is a little shack about a quarter mile from my office so I decided to try it...I had the most delicious hotdog I have EVER…

KT- boo! That sucks! But at least your Dr is aware and ready to take the next step! So today has been boo! Forgot to eat breakfast, so I grabbed Starbucks, then realized when I got to work that I left my leftovers that I had planned on eating for lunch in the fridge! I'm starving and getting ready to venture out to find…

I second that Erica. I know I am completely guilty of this. I am so terribly sorry to those who have felt ignored or not supported! I hate that it has come to ppl feeling like they should leave to open my eye's to this. I plan to start writing notes while I read so I can remember everything I want to say! Erica-aren't you…

Jenny - I'll just say that I didn't even see what you posted until I went back through and reread stuff, I've been posting from my phone so it's hard for me to read much earlier than the most recent 2-3 posts. I sincerely apologise to you and all the other ladies I may have missed but please understand this is why my…

No worries...I'm not sure what is going on. What kind of BBT do you use? There is never very much variance in my temp and it's ALWAYS really low....I'm honestly kind of annoyed with the whole thing. My charts looking NOTHING like the ones i look at in the gallery. If i'm NOT pregnant, i'm going to have to figure out what…

KT -- Make sure you post as soon as you know (good or bad you know you have support here) Pam - I generally call any discharge CM and what I had meant was that the change in consistency can go along with early pregnancy. I did a little "test" on FF for early preggo symptoms and got a 60% when i added the consistancy of my…

Ron - I'm not sure how normal it is but mine changes what feels like hourly! But for the past 5-7days or so has been consistently looking fertile, it stopped for a day or two then yesterday started looking like egg whites and has a firm but slimey consistency... Which brings me to my next point, I don't want to jynx it,…
