  • @mokay19 That's a fantastic suggestion, thank you! He may not be soaking in how I am explaining it.  Which is not something I thought of before. I'm definitely going to send him some links! 


    @writeress I think you're on the right track! I think it's easier to believe there is nothing wrong than to face the facts you know? He is SUPER protective of me. So I think it's easier for him to act as if there isn't an issue. I'm assuming he doesn't know how to "fix it" and that bothers him. On top of the fact that for all I know he may feel anxious about an SA if in fact there is an issue because it might "bruise his ego"!  *Mental note to be a good wife and ask that question tonight*

    @beary67 I have to ask, why no more bananas?  lol
  • @lecool That is impressive!  I lift as well but I broke my wrist last year and I'm still getting back into it.  Clean & jerks kill me!

    @VintageAndrea90 Welcome to the board :)

    @Sugargirl1019 That is really cool!  What were you in the Olympics for?

    @beary67 That's great about your pulse!  FX for you... why are you supposed to stop eating bananas?!

    WAYDTGKU: same old, same old.  Lots of sexing it up this week

    R/R/CS: this is my first month temping and I'm finding it quite interesting!  I think I probably o'd today because the last two morning have been higher...but not sure how much higher they should be!  I think I'm supposed to be hoping for a high temp again tomorrow morning :)

    GTKY:  eek, I'm so bad at these.  Even at round tables in team meetings I go red when it's my turn.  I guess mine would be that my second language was an Aboriginal Indian dialect because we lived on reserve for a few years growing up.  My Dad was doing his field work for his PhD so my brother and I went to school on the reserve.

    I usually use one of two:
    • I am functionally deaf in one ear. Sorry to anybody on my right side!  (I use this if it's going to be a very talky event, so people don't think I'm rude when I have to ask them to repeat themselves 800 times)

  • @canavara How can you tell the difference between EWCM after BD and just semen?


    Possibly TMI but it was extremely stretchy and slippery and (even more TMI!) didn't crust up on the toilet paper after being left to dry. Also, still having it this morning 16 hours later :)

    R/R/CS: I've had so much stress lately I really hope it's not effecting me too bad. 2016 has not been great so far and honestly I've been really, really down with everything that's happened. I find myself having a lot of bad days so I'm trying really hard to focus on the one positive thing right now. We close on our first house in 2 weeks and will be out of our awful apartment in 3 weeks.

    WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, CM, PNVs, Preseed

    R/R/CS: Temp keeps decreasing. I've had 3 days of "high" CB OPK, need to go buy a new box to check today.  So I woke up at 4:30am this morning after 5+ hours of sleep and my temp was 96.87. I got up to use the restroom. I fell back asleep and I think I woke up at 5:30am (my usual BBT time) and temp was 97.1. I'm thinking I should use my 4:30am time? Still waiting of the temp rise.

    WAYDTGKU: Still waiting on O confirmation with temps... Any day now.  HIO as much as possible until then.

    R/R/CS: Last week, I got thrown into my old job.  I had a dream last night that I had to go back there and got hammered by my old boss and previous co-workers for leaving and accused me of badmouthing all of them.  They wouldn't let me leave.  It was a weird and stressful dream.  There are times when I miss my old job.  I actually liked what I did (except for payroll...I wasn't originally hired to do that part of the job); it was the people and management that I couldn't get on board with.  Then I have a dream like that... ugh.  I wish I could get it out of my head.  Makes me irritated at myself for letting it get to me so much.

    GTKY: What is your go-to "fun fact" about yourself if you have to share one in a real life getting-to-know-you activity?  Umm....I've played the piano since I was four.  Also, I didn't start running until I was 24 and the first race I signed up for was a half marathon.  I got many "yeah right" type comments when I told them I was going to run a half marathon.  That basically fueled my training and I ran the ENTIRE thing without stopped.  Now I'm addicted.  Next race is this Saturday.

    @Sparty18 @JessCL @mokay19 *ETA* @H4aPartyof5I have too much 'dampness' in my body which can cause irregular cycles and problems conceiving and bananas are considered to be very damp and therefore something I should avoid eating.  

    @mokay19 I was always terrified I should swallow a bone.  When I was little, a boy in my class chocked on a bone so I was always irrationally scared.  I also though boneless wings would still have bones in them (I'm an idiot).  I finally got over my fear and tried a boneless wing and loved it!

  • @beary67 I love bananas! That's very odd that she would say that. After hearing all these things about acupuncturists it makes me want to make an appt just to see what they say.

     @mrsdaddario sorry you had a disagreement with your H. Sometimes I forget that man think differently than women and it might help just approaching the subject in a different way. My H once told me that I forget he has feelings to.

    Also I can tell that I am getting deeper into this TTC thing as ideas I thought were hokey when I started TTC now seem like worth a shot (like Baby Aspirin, Aromatherapy, etc).

    R/R/CS: So I had a temp spike today! Fingers crossed for two more. I had a positive OPK on Monday and lots of EWCM from like Friday ish to yesterday. Everything is looking good. Except it's my first month temping and my chart looks like a mess with a lot of up and down, and generally low temps. I'm not sure I'm going to really be able to see O with my temps. And I'm also generally nervous that the temp isn't going to go up in general, especially since I had what I consider all of my normal O signs.

    I am a huge nerd and love to game. And most people in real life find this super fascinating because it's not something they would ever 'assume' about me otherwise. So I usually go with that one.

  • @aliciabhen I'm feeling the same way!  I've been tracking AF in a different app for a while and so I'm still using that plus FF.  According to my other app plus all my signs, I would have thought I would have O'ed by now. Plus, I'm just using a regular thermometer.  Haven't gotten around to buying anything else.  I'm blaming it on being an impatient newbie and sticking around in WTO for another week to see what happens.  Maybe it'll keep me from SS and going BSC during the TWW.

  • @DiFazette I found this information online as well. Keep in mind that everyone is different and based on symptoms, this is what I was 'diagnosed' with and your 'diagnosis' if you were to go to an acupuncturist, could be completely different than mine.  

    Foods which promote dampness are:Dairy – milk, cheese, yogurts, ice cream – Sheep & Goats products are less dampeningWheat – breads, pastry’s, biscuits, all yeast productsPork & rich meatProcessed foods, sugar & sweetenersConcentrated juice’s especially Orange & TomatoBeerBananas – these are a big NO in TCMSaturated fatsIn particular foods that need to be avoided are too much raw, cold, sweet & rich foods and the overconsumption of fluid, especially cold water.

    @PennStateCait is this your first month taking EPO? I read that it can delay O, so that may be a possibility? I stopped taking it as soon as I read that (had only taken it two days) because we have enough problems with timing as it is, I can’t be delaying things, haha. I think some ladies on here have taken it with no issue though, so hopefully that’s the case for you and you will get a +OPK soon! 

    @sldp123 it is my first month! I started last month but kept forgetting to take it every morning. This makes me feel so much better! We'll keep hio...

  • I haven't been as active on here the last few days (day? I have no sense of time) and I really missed you all and feel like I missed so much!

    WAYDTGKU: Just tracking O, DH is out of town. 

    R/R/CS:  Well, I was hoping to O early or late because of DH's trip, and it looks like that may happen!  I Oed on CD17 the last 2 cycles, but no signs of impending O today, and DH gets home tomorrow!  Fingers crossed we at least get a few days in!  

    GTKY: What is your go-to "fun fact" about yourself if you have to share one in a real life getting-to-know-you activity?  Oooh hmm... I don't really have a "go-to," but once I said that I took ballet for 10 years through classes that fed into a company here in town and was in their production of the Nutcracker for five years.  Then another guy stood up and said he was part of the symphony that provides the music for that production of the Nutcracker during the exact same time I was in it.  That was kind of fun.

    QUESTION:
    I saw in the reviews regarding preseed that you don't need to use as much as what the instruction says and some said they don't use the applicators. I haven't tried it yet but plan to soon. How much do y'all use and how do you "apply" it?

    R/R/CS:  Nothing really, just wondering about preseed at the moment! =)

  • @H4aPartyof5 Thanks for mentioning the Mabis! I've been using a CVS-brand BBT thermometer but I just finally broke down and bought a Mabis--I didn't realize they were just as cheap as a pharmacy brand.

  • @RatParade Totally feel you! I fantasize abut different situations to "break the news" that doesn't exist yet several times on the daily....

    I just started using pre-seed this cycle, about 3 times so far. The first time I used 3g and that felt like too much. So I now use between 1-2g and that seems plenty for me. I use the plastic applicator, not the best applicator but it works.

    WAYDTGKU: Trying to HIO but DH isn't feeling well.

    R/R/CS:  Posting/ghosting today because I worked straight from 6:30am to 5:30pm today and now I really want to go for a run before it gets dark so I don't feel bad about all the pad thai I'm about to murder.

    @pshaortao  You can apply preseed like normal lube. I ran out of applicators and do that.

    WAYDTGKU: nothing at the moment; I didn't temp last month but DH wants me to pick it back up. I probably will after AF leaves. Honestly, after temping for 6+ months OPKs surprisingly worked from what I could tell. I only missed temping to tell when AF was coming. She came right on s

    R/R/CS: Repeat of WTF post: *TW MC mentioned* Cramps are HORRIBLE; worse than when I miscarried. My boobs never hurt so bad in my life either.

    I was blind as a kid. I couldn't see anything. I went to the eye doctor frequently. I had to wear thick, THICK glasses and an eye patch to correct a lazy eye. The reason I was blind was my eyes were weak. Now I don't even need glasses. I wear them for "high activity" things, like using the computer, reading and watching t.v.
