I agree too!

Good Morning Ladies! Our thread has seemed a little sleepy lately. I know it's just a crazy time of year. I'm headed to my fifth Christmas party today... and will even have two in January!!!

 Lola - Wow!! Your 17 dpo and still no sign of AF??? I see that you've tested... Do you plan to test today??? Fingers crossed for you girl!!

Zack - Looking good too!!! When are you planning to cave and test!?!?!?!

Liams.mum & Tah - You guys are getting closer! I hate being around nine dpo. The newness of O'ing has worn off but I'm always still to chicken to test... Let us know how you are. Symptoms!

Ladies, I agree about you Catch!! We're all pulling for you!

I don't think I've said hi to you Brotchen!

Todds - So glad you've finished your dress. How are things going with your DH? And with Operation Weightloss? I pray your DH will come around. I think sometimes men need time to process... maybe that's where he's at now. At any rate, I always love your positive attitude.  

Mel, Kitten, Mulva & Forsuch - I hope you are enjoying the preggo life that comes with it's ups and downs!! I hope you're all feeling okay and if not, have stocked up on saltines.

Nothing new here. 6 dpo and no symptoms... oh hum. I'll wait to test until Christmas morning if AF doesn't show.

Anyway, hope all are doing well and not experiencing too much craziness!!! Good luck upcoming testers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I caved today and it was a bfn. I swear I'm nauseous ....I've been nauseous on/ off since 6 dpo and Felt mild cramps 3-7 dpo. No spotting and no implantation dip. I think I'm making these symptoms up because I want to be pregnant. I might test tomorrow or wait until Monday. Had DD 2 nd bday party last Sunday, now getting ready for Xmas at our house today and another Xmas party tomorrow. Busy, busy, busy...tis the season. Hope everyone is doing well.

 Wow - all the 2WW charts look awesome!!  I'm sure there are going to be some BFP coming up!  Can't wait!!

Grace~ Wow, party #5, then more to come??  Where do you live??? You don't have to answer that  but it sounds like party central over there. I wish folks around here had that kind of party spirit.

Catch~ I'm pulling for you too!

Hello Brotchen, welcome!!

Weezie~ Can't wait to see the dress, you are one talented mama!

Preggo mamas~ Hope all is well.

AFM: I still have bouts of dizziness and nausea, cramps and backache on and off, nipples are getting a little more sore but ordinary for 2ww, what feels like hot flashes are new this cycle though. I'm expecting AF on the 22nd and if she's a no-show, I'll test on the 24th.

BFN on IC today. Ahh, can't believe I broke down and tested. Oh well. AF is due Monday, sure she will be here, my chances aren't good at this point.

Woke up with temp drop and bright red spotting @ 12 dpo. I think I may be out or having implantation bleeding. I'll keep everyone updated but I think I'm out it was really red and I don't feel any other pregnancy symptoms.

Hey girls!!

I am still waiting on my OPKs throught the post, unsure how long they're going to be, it's so frustrating! I am strictly charting this month, with times and it is looking pretty good so far.

I am just hating this build up to O and being nervous that I will miss O. But I am guessing it will be in a few days time (1 - 3 days)

I bought a girly outfit in the sales and have put it under my matteress for good luck. I just feel like it is meant to be this month, I am determined to do the best I can to make it possible. But it is causing unecessary pressure on myself making sure DP is in the mood and making sure I am loosing weight instead of putting on. I have been working out on my Wii, so things are good.

Hope things are well with you preggalicious girls and good luck to all those TTC and in the 2WW.

 Sorry for the BFN's ladies.  That's always a drag.  I'm sure more bfps are coming soon tho!  Don't lose hope!

AFM, weightloss is going bad.  The pills aren't working--I think the exercise was what was working.  Fighting with DH about it, I have no appetite and don't feel like eating and he is mad about that.  I think its cause I have been depressed for the last 3 or 4 weeks.  My appetite dropped right off.  Besides, if I eat anything that tastes good I get fatter, I only lose weight if I eat the same old crap so I figure why bother?

I will post a pic of the dress soon.  It's almost done.  Still finishing up the hem seams, I haven't had a lot of time lately.  Pretty busy!

Gotta go stalk Lola's chart now.  Yesterday it seems to have indicated af had come, have to go verify.  if it did, i am sorry Lola.  I wish this would happpen more quickly for you. 

BFN for me too this morning.  Temps are still up, but not holding out much hope now.  No syptoms to speak of.  Just waiting for the witch to arrive. :(

I think 10dpo is still early.  Don't lose hope just yet.

Well my temp went up nicely this morning, and then......AF showed! Well not totally showed, it's spotting to very light flow, but that's always the way, tomorrow will be full on. I think the higher temp is just because I'm sick with a cold now, I was sweating all night. Oh well, no Christmas surprise for me.

That sucks! Sorry - good luck for next cycle!

Lola - 19dpo...what's up?

tryingforzack - your temp went back up!  was it just the spottin and that's it?  update us!

tah - your chart looks great!! your temp had dropped by now last cycle. are you sure you want to wait till AFTER AF is due to test? 

liamsmom - any plans on testing again?  your chart's still looking good.

Grace - still no symptoms? can't believe you can wait till Xmas day to test too - you guys are patient!!

weezie - sorry you and DH are not seeing eye to eye on the weight loss issue.  Perhaps you can gently tell him to lay off - it's not helpful to be mad at you for what you're eating or not eating

Catch! - sorry about AF.  hope that January is your month.

Chelsea- your chart looks MUCH better this month.  I see you got your opks?  you'll definitely be able to pinpoint O this month...that's my prediction! I think FF is wrong about last month.

to all the rest, hope all is well and you're not stressing too much heading up to Santa's visit. I've been crazy busy, trying to get everything in order.  I was just staining the dining room woodwork yesterday and we got the LR done and varnished, so at least the tree can go up even if we haven't got our furniture all moved back in.  I'll post some pics when I get it done.  Also been baking (and decorating) lots of cookies.  Will send you all some virtual ones when I'm done :)
