CML11 · January 2015

1 CML11 from NH

2. How long have you been TTC?

TTC # 1 Since Feb 2013,
seeing an RE since Feb 2014 with 1 loss

3. What are you doing this cycle?
IVF #3, progesterone in oil (PIO), Estrodiol 2x/day, pre-natals, Vitamin D, assisted hatching, no caffeine, no herbal teas, little to no nitrates, no alcohol

4. Where are you in your cycle?
6dp5dt

5. How do you feel about this cycle?
Pretty excited, but I am trying not to get over confident. Today if it did implant, the placenta cells will begin to produce HCG

I had pretty intense cramps last night for about an hour, hoping that it was implantation cramps! Or it was just my cyst kicking up some pain!

QOTW:
I would put that hour between 5am and 6am so I would get an extra hour of sleep before my alarm went off

CML11 · January 2015

@clgsquared‌ I love your wording "nothing but sex". Well here's to all the sex in Friday! Date night perhaps?

wannabmama23 · January 2015

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from. Wannabmama23, MA

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.? TTC#1, 6 mo

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE? Temping

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) not hopeful, bad timing

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why? In the am so I could get in a good workout--I have to do am but it only gives me about 45 mins to get it done, I just can't wake up much earlier to squeeze more time.

CML11 · January 2015

@wannabmama23‌ hopefully you had better timing than you think! Good for you for being about to work out in the AM. Great way to kick start your day, however unless I sleep in there's no way that's happening!

***loss mentioned****

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.

Melissa FL

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?

Cycle 5 with our 1st

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?

Sex and hoping we had decent timing this round.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?

TWW-nothing at all. Not one phantom symptom or AF symptom.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)

Not hopeful. I don't think we got any good timing. Then it is rough, today was my due date. I am gearing things up for next cycle. I just ordered prenatal with folic acid (just taking a regular multi) And I ordered some Vit D. I have been told I am deficient in Vit D. Also figured out the Wondfo's I ordered were not Wondfo's. So I contacted amazon and received a refund. Hopefully this next batch is the actual brand.

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?

Middle of the night so I can get an extra hour of sleep. 4:30am comes to fast in the morning.

Feel free to add any vents or shout outs.

GL to all those in the TWW

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?

TTC#1 since November

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
Charting, BBT, checking CM, EOD sex, using preseed

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?

I have a postive OPK yesterday and EWCM on Sunday night, so hopefully I finally can confirm I O'd in the next few days. I'm keeping my figers crossed.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)

I will really just be so happy to have confirmation I ovulated, so right now I'm feeling hopeful. I wish I could just confirm right now I ovulated... I'm so impatient.

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?

Probably once H & I are both home after to hang out and relax together after work.

vh2014

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
Since Nov 2013 with a break. #1 for him # 3 for me

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
Temping, OPK, Vitex, Prenatals, Vitamin D, CoQ10, Prayers, Sex seeing an RE tomorrow...

also repressing feelings of disgust for an OB/GYN but about as successful in that as getting KTFU

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?
Love this question now... CD 111 which is supposed to be 6DPO based on OPK but temp rolled back down so I am guessing probably didn't O again.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) Since this cycle has been so long all over the place. Looking forward to seeing my RE tomorrow. Very excited to find they take a holistic approach combining western medicine with traditional chinese medicine with both docs working together. So I don't have to choose... they will discuss and work towards a common goal, no counteracting each other.

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?
Anywhere... so I could talk to you all.

Ok... for reals... probably would add it before DH comes home so I could work out. We are getting home about the same time now so I just want to spend time with him.

Feel free to add any vents or shout outs.

Irritated about the drama and deleting of mods and regulars on other boards. Obviously I'm not privy to all the details, but the approach was not a good one. Pissed me off and I'm only a lurker LOL I think it could have been handled differently.

Now that that's off my chest... have loved some of the new threads lately so thanks for posting the craziness and the TWW threads in particular. They really make things more fun. GL to everyone!

Lesliem0901 · January 2015

Hello my lovelies,
@CML11 - so excited for you!! And thanks for the check-in.

sonpetitlapin - Hugs to you.

1) Margaret from Michigan
2) TTC#1 since June 2012 with 2 losses
3) Gearing up for IVF in February and doing acupuncture. Taking a lot of natural supplements to improve egg quality.
4) CD7
5) I was very excited to see my FSH drop down to 7.9. I know it can fluctuate, but it has made me a lot more hopeful.

QOTW: I'd like another hour in the morning before I go to work so I'm not rushing around like a mad woman.

WinoGrrl · January 2015

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.
WinoGrrl - WI
2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
TTC #1 cycle 6
3. What are you doing this cycle?

temping/charting/opk/mucinex/limit caffeine and alcohol

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?
I think I O'd yesterday - waiting for crosshairs from FF
5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
ok - not trying to be hopeful anymore. We had decent timing with -2 and 0 for Bding. My temps have been ALL over the place this month though and last month I had an LP of only 7 days (not usual) so I'm not expecting much. I'll set up an appt with my DR for early Feb to talk about next steps
QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why? I'd want it between 5am - 6am so I'd have time to work out and shower and still get in to the office at a normal time. If DH worked out of the home I'd say before he gets home but since he is always there that doesn't work out.

nd613 · January 2015

1. Nicole from NY
2. TTC#1 Since May 2014
3. Had IUI#1 on 1/3/15 at the RE's office after 5 days of Letrozole and an Ovridrel trigger.
4. TWW 11dpiui. Testing on Saturday night or Sunday (I have a family event on Saturday and don't want to ruin it for myself with a BFN--or spend the whole time looking like the cat that ate the canary with a BFP)
5. I am hopeful but trying to keep my feelings in check. I keep feeling little abdominal pangs and slight cramps and my boobs are kind of feeling funny--obviously I am hypersensitive about everything. Throwing myself into work this week to distract.

QOTW: I would put my extra hour in at 7AM because I loooove that last hour of sleep.

Good luck to everyone in the TWW.

sonpetitlapin Hugs to you

vh2014 · January 2015

clgsquared said:@vh2014 some of us have jumped ship on to other sites..I just can't abandon you lovelies on this specific board though so I'll stay on this one

Saw that and feel the same way. I hate having to do 2 sites but really loved the brutal honesty of the other boards. So off to the others I'll go and just stay on this one for now. I really felt like there was a board here for everything and everyone but clearly XO didn't agree. Also rated my app... it was a sucky app anyway and the horrible message when it crashed sucked big fat donkey.....

Glad this board is mostly unscathed. See you there too once I figure out where to post.

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.

luvmyponies, MA

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?

Since May 2014, #1

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?

CB OPK, nothing else this cycle (other than the usual Prenatal vitamin). First appointment with RE on Jan 21st.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?

CD7, waiting to O

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)

Not too hopeful this cycle - DH fell on the ice and then came down with a bad cold, so BD that is supposed to begin on Friday may not happen... or may not be too much fun

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?

I'd put an extra hour at the end of the day between 8-9 PM. DH and I so enjoy our time relaxing on the couch before bedtime, I'd like it to last a little longer.

Karen from NE

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?

On and off for the last 4 years. TTC #1 and only.

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?

Working with an obgyn Dr. For now.... Took 2.5 mg of femara cd3-7 using OPKs.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?

I'm at cd 15 according to my days app I should o today not sure if that's true since I had not been charting.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... )

A little discouraged I think I'm better when I don't test with OPKs so I have one day of disappointment rather than every day.

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?

And extra hour between 9-10pm my Dh works nights I work days and the evening goes by so quick Id love to spend a little more time with him.

Quick thought. I'm happy they posted that there will be more monitoring on this site. Its kind of scary to venture off this board. There's some very aggressive and mean people posting on other topics.

WinoGrrl · January 2015

@vh2014 and @clgsquared i don't often venture off this board - but just went to TTGP and every post is 24 HOURS OF SILENCE. lol. there was a big exodus off the nest a couple of years ago too - is the bump going the same place?

kelley72 · January 2015

1. Kelley in GA.
2. Cycle 10, 2nd cycle of ntnp... wait just by knowing that does that mean I'm still paying attention enough to be kindof ttc?
3. I'm just hanging out. My dh is quite ill and we are not planning to seek RE assistance so more than likely no more littles... you never know and today I'll hold onto hope.

4. I'm ?cd7ish... not even going to open ff to check...
5. I'm sticking here, I occasionally venture to ff for funsies but prefer honest feedback and support found here. I'm not up to date on the loony new changes so perhaps I'll move on but not planning to at the moment

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why? ugh hard one, I too would love an extra hour of sleep, but honestly think I'd rather have an extra hour early evening to a. see my boys, b. chores, c. workout... just do all the things I'm supposed to be doing and feel too rushed to actually do or enjoy

Best wishes @cml111 ! and all other's with upcoming RE apts and or testing soon!

lcwed · January 2015

1.lcwed, tx

2. How long have you been TTC? #2 for a year with 2 losses

3. I Have an appt with a high risk dr and then hopefully an RE referral if needed.

4. Waiting to O or AF whichever comes first. This is the first time I have temped before my first AF after a loss, so I'm not sure if I will O or just go to AF. The good thing is my temperature finally dropped so I hope that means my UTE is clear. I will find next week.

5. Not expecting anything. I will probably have a better idea after our appt next week.

QOTW:Working out. I have to do it after work and by the time I finish and pick up DD, eat dinner ready, its time for her bed. I would love the extra hour so I could work out and still have time with her.

Good luck for BFPs @CML11 @ @nd613

Hope you have great RE appts @vh2014 @luvmyponies

@wannabmama23 Sorry for the bad timing @clgsquared I hope you get the results you want at your next appt.

@sonpetitlapin Hugs @TMaggie0424 Good luck with your next cycle @peaseblossoms55 FX you get your cross hairs

@Lesliem0901 Good luck with your Feb IVF @WinoGrrl I hope this cycle gives you a longer LP

What did I miss about jumping sites and drama????????? New site or just different board? I feel so out of the loop right now.

vh2014 · January 2015

WinoGrrl yep. Same thing.

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
TC #1, this is our 8th month trying.

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
temping, accupuncture, herbs, monitor, opk, cut out coffee, planning to really take it easy during the TWW once it starts. Really working on getting ahead at work so I can start reducing my stress level. I am also doing blood work on Jan. 30 and DH needs to SA.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?
CD4
5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
Honestly, right now, I'm not sure. I was starting to really believe I was pregnant last weekend, so I'm coming out of that funk. Also DH and I have been fighting a lot lately, and that's making it hard to feel positive about TTC at the moment.
QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?

Well, I'm torn between sleeping, so delicious, and finding an hour tops sew each day.

Feel free to add any vents or shout outs.

Enjoying the fun posts as well to get to know you all better.

kindershlitz · January 2015

1. Kindershlitz/MI
2. TTC #2 about 18 cycles
3. Working with RE will be doing first IUI next cycle. Including Femera and Ovidrel (sp)? Met with RE today, thyroid is at good number my FSH came back at 5.9. Good news received at appointment
4. Cd 22- expecting AF Sunday
5. O was early and BD was that evening only so little hope.
QOTW - would like an hour in the evening to hang with DH. He's always tired and gone most of the day.

@sonpetitlapin‌ hugs to you
@vh2014‌ I definitely missed something!

vh2014 · January 2015

double post... sorry....

CML11 · January 2015

@lcwed‌ good luck at your high risk doc appointment. Hope either that doc or an RE can give you some answers. Hugs!

@sonpetitlapin‌ hugs to you, that makes for a hard day.

Also I feel out of the loop on the Mod drama. Seems this upset happened back in the summer time too. A Mod on another site had the "user banned" photo in place of her previous one. Weird.

Peaseblossom55 · January 2015

@icwed thank you and good luck to you as well!

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.
Aus from Baltimore, MD.

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
TTC#1 since Sept 2013.

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
We have an appointment with another RE for a second opinion on Friday, so right now I'm trying to wrangle my records from our current RE and it's been frustrations galore. I started temping this cycle, but I've been really unreliable about taking my temperature at the same time each day so I'm not sure it's much use. I'm on 7.5 of Femara CD 2-6.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?
I'm 7dpo and will test this weekend if AF doesn't appear (my luteal phase is usually 10-11 days).

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)

I feel more optimistic than usual because I've got sore boobs (not a typical PMS symptom for me), but less optimistic because I misjudged my FW and didn't BD on O day (just the three days before, and the last time DH was a bit, um, depleted so I don't think there was much in there).

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why? I'm unemployed, so I have nothing but extra hours. Instead, I'd donate my hour to one of you ladies.

dukegirlsc · January 2015

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from. Dukegirlsc in SC

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.? TTC #1 for 5 months

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE? We did letrozol, gonal-f, pregnyl trigger and IUI. I also take PNV, extra folate, royal jelly, CQ10 and a baby aspirin. Oh and progesterone supplements! Let's not forget those lovelies!

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? I am 6dpIUI and will have my beta on 1-23

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) I'm starting to feel better about it, the anxiety is started to be replaced by cautious optimism

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why? I think I would add it between 5-9 so I could work out or get one last thing done in the office and not feel guilty for sitting on the couch relaxing

@CML11 hooray for implantation cramping, fx crossed this is your cycle!

dukegirlsc · January 2015

vh2014 good luck at the RE tomorrow!!

vh2014 · January 2015

dukegirlsc thanks! I've never looked forward to a Dr. appt so much.

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.

Kirsten from CA

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?

#2 for me #1 for DH since we married almost 4 years ago......but no charting so...you know

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?

We are benched till March but I am having a follow up at the end of this month from our last loss. We start all the fun testing. The upcoming appt will be just a check in, an exam and she is going to do some bloodwork. Thyroid and stuff like that.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?

I think Im on CD10. I say I think cause I think AF came.......and she is still here (that biotch!) Its really light.....almost what i would just say is spotting. But I never stopped spotting from MC so Im not really sure. However I suspect I had Ovulation cramps (i can't say for sure cause i don't chart/temp....but I've always had that one day of cramps around estimated O time) but again......all the timing seemed WAY WIERD from then to AF arriving. I feel very lost on whats going on with my body.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)

I feel anxious to get back to "normal" Im in awe of what a loss can do to our bodies........how messed up it can make everything.

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?

I would add it in somewhere between when I wake to when DH gets home. I have ADD (yes for real) and I always feel like I didn't get enough work/housework/stuff done because I get distracted by EVERYTHING. Especially if I get on the computer and come to TB or anywhere online for that matter. The Internet is like crack for people with ADD. lol

Feel free to add any vents or shout outs.

Just venting about what i already mentioned up there^^^ I dont know whats going on with my body. I feel like I am just a mess. I want things to be normal again please!

Also the boards...yes they are CRAZY. Im gone for a couple days and the whizz hits the fan. I frequent TCAL now as well and Im super bummed. The snark doesn't bother me ad I in fact find some of those women funny as hell...but wow!

@clgsquared where is everyone off too??? Im not leaving this board....i love it too much but if the other boards start to suck then i may need to check it out.

Hugs to @sonpetitlapin

@vh2014 good luck with your appt!

happyktmom · January 2015

1. Happyktmom from Virginia

2. TTC#2 since 4/2014

3. I did very little this month - no charting, only did 1 OPK because I thought I had O'ed and wanted to make sure it was worth having sex one time. YUP, that was my foreplay lol

4. I am in my 2WW, can test on 1/24

5. I'm not feeling too great about this cycle, since we only had sex one time. We are seeing an RE on Jan 23rd, which I'm really getting excited about. We've discussed how far we want to go before opening the floor to adoption and I think for us, IUI is it. I'm ready!

QOTW: I would put an extra hour in the morning so I have to time to sit and watch and the news and drink my coffee... let my little girl play a little before it's rush rush time. I feel like I would accomplish so much more in the day with a slower wind up!

Girrrrrrl......in 3 years the one and only BFP I got was when H and I only DTD 1 time. I had been sick and he had been traveling.....somehow it worked out (sort of....it ended in MC but thats neither here nor there on this) Just wanting to let you know its NOT IMPOSSIBLE ;P

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
keeping track of all the things

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?
2WW, 4dpo. Normally I'd hold off until the end of next week, but I have to go to NY for work next week and there will be drinking involved. Soooooo, an early test on Sunday and then probably bring one or two with me just in case.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
I'm kind of hopeful...last cycle was most likely a CP so I don't really want to get my hopes up. And it's still really really early. so we shall see.

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?
I'd totally add an hour between 6 and 7pm. I don't get home until 6 and my kiddo goes to bed at 7. so I would love to spend more than an hour with her everyday.

Feel free to add any vents or shout outs.
good luck @CML11, I can't wait to hear the good news!

Had my CD3 bloodwork this cycle, and FSH was high, so had a blood draw for AMH today. HSG is this week too, so yay. Not. Can't see the RE until all tests are done, but it's scheduled for mid-Feb.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?
CD9; will start OPKs tomorrow to make sure I don't miss it.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
Very blah and broken. I never thought there was anything wrong, so the FSH news sent me reeling.

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?

Early - I prefer to exercise first thing, but it's hard to get up earlier and earlier!

1 - Shannon from GA 2 - TTC #1, first month off BCP 3 - just getting into it, so nothing special yet 4 - right in the middle of the month, haven't started charting so not 100% 5 - excited to start, and a little overwhelmed QOTW: around 8pm so my hubs and I can have a little more time to be together

Yay! Finally got the callback and my biopsy came back clear - no cancer!

FF also gave me crosshairs (dotted) this morning for Monday - when I thought Tuesday wouldn't have been the day. Which puts timing as only ok - but that's fine. I'll just set up an appt with my doctor for beginning of Feb and go from there....

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test?
2WW; 9dpIUI I might not wait till tuesday... and just test myself this weekend
5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
Cautiously optimistic... Hopeful, anxious etc.
QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?
Definitely in the morning, not sure if it would be for extra sleep or to actually work out. I rarely get more than 6 hrs/day with work so I'm too tired at night to work out
Feel free to add any vents or shout outs.

I don't know about all the drama on the other boards but I'm very grateful for you ladies and that it didn't bleed over onto this board. You are all so wonderful and supportive.

Now a little mini vent... My boobs have been painfully sore since my IUI. I know it's not a sign/symptom because it's been constant for the last week and a half and now is usually when it would start before AF. Enough already! Every time my BF touches them I yelp in pain. WTF!

I pretty much go into them with little expectation now, but also manage to be hopefully at that same time.

QOTW: if you got an extra hour to put somewhere in your day where would you put it and why?

Late morning as that is my most productive.

@WinoGrrl I'm glad that your test results were good. :-)

@CML11 are you still feeling tired?

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.

URMySunshine77 from Northern California.

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
TTC #2 for nine months, eight cycles

3. Temping, OPKs, acupuncture, reduced caffeine

4. 7DPO.

5. I'm experiencing a lot of PMS and don't "feel" pregnant, but I'm trying to remind myself that implantation can take place until 11DPO.

QOTW: I would put an extra hour in the morning so I could drink coffee and peruse TB. This is logistically possible, but I am just too lazy to wake up early. I like to stay in bed and cuddle with my dog.

I am really upset by the random banning (many without warning or explanation) of so many of my friends. The administrators have really shown a lack of respect or care for users.

Wow!! What can I say? Thank you everyone for the hugs. Felt dumb for feeling so down on Wednesday.
