what do colinda, kona and my DH have in common?

mlmtgg · September 2010

aside from being hilarious and nice and smart . . .They all voted to hold out to test til Friday. Or in the case of DH, he's now pushed that to Saturday.

and since it's clear that last month's early loss really affected my DH (I think the return to 'oh, is this really possible?' from "eff it, we're broken' has him spooked - and I totally get it) -- I'm going to listen to him.

so even though chart is a tease and that spotting stopped, I made a vow last night to go straight from bed to bathroom (no stopping to get a test!) until Saturday. I'm writing it here to make you all hold me to it too.

I've been stalking, and very much like what I see.

I can't believe you're holding out until tomorrow. I'm going to call you Tenacious (Min)D.

I will totally announce myself as Tenacious (Min)D when I put my name on the record for my morning cases. "Your honor, Tenacious (Min)D for the Respondent.. ."

Holy cow even worse/better! Critical reading fail on my part. And I'm all for the use in court. If they question you, say, "look, I'm waiting until CD motherfukking 17 to pee on a stick, I can call myself whatever I want."

I admire your will power and your chart! I will continue to stalk you!

johannaknip · September 2010

As much as I love Colinda and Kona, and I'm sure your Mr. is lovely, BOOOOOOOO!

I have no idea how you have the willpower. I bow down to you ma'am.

TravelinMama · September 2010

Omgosh girl you have a lot of patience....you're 15 dpo already and no testing.

Wishing you LOTS of BFP dust on Saturday.

CarrieLeigh84 · September 2010

You're a stronger woman than I!

Good luck, and I plan on TB stalking you on Saturday morning!!!!

I am all for waiting so I think its a great plan. I will personally send money to get you out of your contempt charge if you put yourself on the record as Tenacious (Min)D

I agree with this. GL Mindy!!

ColindaP · September 2010

hahaha! That chart does look great. Can't wait for saturday!

Olive44 · September 2010

You are one strong woman! Good luck on Saturday!

bbhalphen · September 2010

Good luck! Your willpower impresses me!

grr_aargh · September 2010

It's good that the world has people like Colinda, Kona, and your DH. . . there needs to be somebody to balance out the silly 6dpo testers, of which I am an embarassed member.

csquared426 · September 2010

you are stronger then I. Can't wait for your post tomorrow!

JuJuBe3 · September 2010

I am one who tends to wait to test, so I'm pretty much the opposite of a peestick-aholic. But even I don't know that I could wait until Saturday.

I think you and DH need to reconvene and discuss tomorrow as the more realistic option.

I agree completely! Every month I know it will be a BFN but I almost just need to see it so I don't get my hopes up.

If you have already made it to 15dpo, 2 more days will be ok right? I have never made it to 12 dpo haha nevermind 15dpo. But you are on a roll now

triple_sevens · September 2010

I am triple_sevens and I APPROVE this message!

That chart is crazy gorgeous and I pray it will only be it more so on Saturday

Remember, true love waits.

mlmtgg · September 2010

I'm attempting to delude myself into thinking back to pre-ttcal days (actually, pre-ttc days) when I thought you couldn't test until after AF was really really late.

Clerk9 · September 2010

I think you're a good woman to respect DHs wishes/feelings like that. But I'm still in awe of your patience! Reeeeally hope to celebrate a BFP with you on Saturday!!!

P.S. Although I think this maneuver would be appropriately symbolic reproductively, I'm afraid you might get disbarred for it:

You lawyer ladies are hysterical.

lunatwo · September 2010

Good thing you didn't ask me for advice or you would have tested days ago. Then again, I would probably be writing congrats on your BFP post right now instead of this so it would be win-win. GL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll make sure I log on first thing on Saturday to see your post!
