The ongoing twiddling of thumbs conversation: December edition

 these darn monkeys have been terrible today!! hoping I can post  this catchup - just took a few minutes at work.

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

tryingforzack - your temp went back up!  was it just the spotting 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? you too! I can't believe you can wait till Xmas day to test!! 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.

Me - I'm feeling ok - have still been having mild nausea, but nothing to complain about, really.  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.  Also been baking (and decorating) lots of cookies.  Will send you all some virtual ones when I'm done :)

tah & grace- hello to you both!

catch- sorry about AF!!!! FXed for January!!!!

zack- I'm sorry to hear about your spotting....

As for me, well I'm still hoping for a BFN...lol. Although, I'm getting a lot of my classic preggo symptoms too. But since I've had chemicals before I know not to really get my hopes up either for my sticky bean either (at least in my case). I have been having terrible borderline migrane headaches, boobs are tingly and sore, bloated belly, and frequent urination. Have been testing since Friday with $ store cheapies and BFNs as of yet, but I'm fairly certain they aren't as sensitive as FRER are. I have one of those that I'm waiting to use on Wednesday (would be 9-11 DPO then) and if it's a BFN I'll just wait until AF is late to test again.

Mel summed it up nicely!  

tryingforzach - even if late implantation is 85% chance of miscarriage, there still is 15% that goes on normally.  I hope you are one of the 15%!

Mel~ Well, I decided to try a one of my $ store tests after reading your post and it's a BFN, so yep... I gotta wait for AF to be late....still. I would have been shocked if it came up positive, it would be my first early BFP. I guess I'm just not made for those I hope your symptoms continue to be mild for you and Ooooo, yummy virtual cookies!!!

TryingforZ~ FX for you.

Brotchen~ Good luck when you test and I hope you see the result you want.

Weezie~ ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))

Kitten~ How are you feeling?

Catch~ Sorry about the witch =/, here's to her taking an extended vacation next cycle

AFM: I'm trying to keep myself busy to keep the poas thoughts at bay, it's getting harder now that I've taken one.  Actually I should add that I took one of the OPKs I had left yesterday, just to try it out, and that was positive.   Hope all is well with everyone!

Ohh tah - a pos on an opk...  I had a pos on an opk at 8dpo with my 2nd son.  I didn't get a BFP until 11dpo though.  I wonder if they are more sensitive....  Keep us posted - I've got my fingers crossed for you!!

AFM - I'm ok.  Pretty moody which I wasn't this bad with the boys.  Everything seems to annoy me and my patience is running thin.  I'm mildly nauseaus most of the time and loving my milk which I was never a big fan of.  On the downside, I had chips and dip the other night and I wasn't enjoying it AT ALL.  I used to LOVE chip and dip.  Strange how your taste buds change.

Mel_t:

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.

Why, Thank you. Yes the OPKs came yesterday and there is 60 of them!! I am going to pee on 2 a day, one 2nd morning urine and one around 8pm at night.

They look like they're going to get dark within the next 1-2 days - I still haven't peed on one this morning, Waiting until I need a wee. OPK's have taken charting to a whole other level - it's much more exciting and having the coformation that I will O is going to be better, no guessing.

Mel - thanks for the cookies.  Isn't it hard to stay away from the yummy food this time of year.

Tah - your chart is looking good.  FX for a BFP when AF is late.

Catch - so sorry about AF arriving.  On to the next cycle, no looking back, that's what I say.

 AFM - i'm so tempted to test, but no IC's left.  I'd have to go buy one.  According to FF I'm not due until Thurs., but temps haven't started to fall.  What do I do???

 Sorry tryingforzach.  Good luck for next cycle

Ok, ladies....here are your virtual cookies.  Feel free to enjoy a few...no calories in these ones, LOL!  There's sugar cookies, lemon squares, peppermint balls, and shortbread.

tryingforzack:

I'm out temperature drop today, bfn and spotting again. See some of you next month. Congratulations to those with bfp and good luck to those in the 2 ww.

sorry   Hope January is your month.

 Thanks mel - those sure were yummy with my big glass of milk I just had!
