Long time no see, and some news perhaps?

[burtneysmom]

Hi everyone, I see alot of new names in here that I haven't had a chance to get to know yet. Hopefully I will have some time to get know all the new faces very soon.

For all of you who do know me, I've recently been mia due to a ton of reasons. I've been fighting the weight battle, so I joined the health & wellness bb, I've been visiting there a lot since I started. They all give such wonderful support (and it's certainly helping, 12 pounds lost to date). I've also been battling deppression, my hubby's schedule is so terrible I don't get near the time I was used to having with him. And I depend on him so much, just his presence not neccessarily what he does (), that I am completly losing my mind! So that's been really tough to deal with.

Now, perhaps, the good news. I haven't temped for like a month, I was counting on cm to signal upcoming O and then start temping. I've had no sign of O whatsoever, and then out of nowhere my boobs got really sore last thursday. Well, that means something happened. Because my boobs don't do that until after I've o'd. So I o'd, without a clue that it was happening, and now I have no idea when it even took place. I can assume somewhere early last week, because usually my bbs get sore about 3-4 days after o.

So anyhow, that isn't really good news, but this is. I had some brown tinged discharge today. Now, this could obviosly mean AF will be here in the next couple of days, or implantation?! I am in shock! According to my guesses, I would only be about 9 dpo. And I could start now, I'm trying to stay realistic. But so far I got the few spots about mid-day today when I wiped. And now when I wipe, there's nothing. This lookes way more promising than anything in my past cycles, so I gues I'm just wanting prayers and aeveryone to keep thier fingers crossed for me! I don't know what to expect, and with boobs this sore I'm kinda just expecting AF, but it doesn't hurt to be hopeful!

Well gotta go, American Idol is on Thanks girls!!

God Bless,
Shavon

HI Shavon and so good to hear from you hon'. Sory about the depression:hugs: I know how you feel about spending time with DH. I too love being in his company. I hope things get better in that dept. soon.

Congrats on losing those 12#: it's not easy and you are doing it girl....YIIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I that this cycle shows a ++++++++++++outcome for you. Remember it isn't over until AF shows and I pray she stays away.

Good luck hon' and keep us posted ok. Those spotting at 9dpo could be implantating spotting. You never know Shavon.

Good luck sweetie!!!

Boy, you could sure tell by my spelling in that first post that I was hurrying!!

Thanks so much for the prayers and crossed fingers!

Lisa,
Okay, I'm totally out of the loop here. What the heck is PUPO?!?! I always feel so stupid asking about things like that, but my mind just doesn't naturally work that way and I can never figure them out!!!

Well, thanks again I appriciate all the support. I haven't even told dh about the question of implantaion spotting. I think I'm pregnant every cycle, so I'm sure he'd just think I was crazy (and maybe he's right ) Time will reveal all, it's just the wait that's so hard!!!

God bless everyone!

Shavon: Good to hear from you! PUPO= pregnant until proven otherwise.

This sounds really promising! Fingers crossed for you! Let us know how things turn out!

Good luck++++++++++

Latest news: Spotting has completely ceased!!! Yippee! Boobies still sore though, so it's not over just yet. At least now I should only have a 1ww. Considering that my first sign that O had happened was last thursday, and there's no possible way that my boobs would be sore the day of O, I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that I should start (if I'm going to) by next thursday. So I can handle one week! That's do-able Plus, I'm going to be quite hopeful if I don't start by tuesday. My real date of expected AF, I think should be monday. But to be conservative I'm going to wait until thursday before assuming anything - or even telling hubby. I might even get a beta done without him knowing before I say a word!

I'm so glad I can come here and share all this kinda stuff with you girls, and you all don't think I'm crazy!

Well, I'm off to report this weeks weight loss on the H&W bb. Have a great week everyone! I'll keep you posted

God bless,
Shavon

hi shavon.....we've missed you!

i'm sorry you've been having a hard time lately. if there's anything we can do to help you, we're here.

KUDO's to you on the wieght loss!! are you following any particular program? i'm in search of a new plan...was thinking about WW. i'm a former atkins dieter. it did well for me, but it's not practical as a WOL for me.

i'm loving your whole "i don't know when i O thing" you got going! now THAT'S one way of easing the pain of the nasty 2ww. i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!! please keep us updated...

[burtneysmom]

Yep she showed up today. But oh well, at least I didn't have to endure the 2ww. I only had one week of signs that O had happened, so that didn't give me enough time to completely convince myself I was pregnant. Despite the hopeful sign of spotting, I was able to keep it in perspective that obviosly that comes with AF too. Darn witch!! She has to be so tricky.

But on the upside, I had an 8 week cycle. Which is really great for me! My history of AF is really on and off, so to have two that close together is like a milestone!!

Anyhow, thanks for all the good lucks and crossed fingers and prayers and such. Sending a hug to all of you!

God bless, and have a great Friday and weekend!
