Today is cd 14 for me and my boobs are still sore today. I can't help but be hopefully that this is an early pregnancy sign. Usually my boobs would become sore when AF comes but it is too early for that. Good luck everyone.

[tess1026]

Googie - sending you tons of baby dust -- when do you test?

Checking in early on this thread hoping to keep up - finally!

Sending out lots of baby dust (from a direct source!!!) for all!

Vickie

[triciaism]

Marking my spot "early" this week to keep track of you all!

Googie - I hope so too!

Children Mentioned:
Qmomma - I used to try and plan the school year thing too (also to maximize my time home w/baby over the summer) but then realized I will take it whenever I can get it. Of course - I was due April 18th . . . bringing me up to 9 weeks of the end of the school year. I would have had to only go back for a week. However - now my original leave was up on the 26th but babies came home on the 21st. It was extended till the end of April but I will most likely end of taking an unpaid leave (and pay insurance somehow for three months) till the end of the year. If I had not had the disablility/bed rest - I would have gotten another 6weeks free and clear (well not free - no pay but not have to pay out health insurance fees). I can not imagine going back at the end of the month - however that is primariy because technically they would only be 11days past term at my return date and they do have some eatting and OT issues that I don't think I can leave to someone else yet. Plus - I just can't imagine it yet as small as they are. I will return in the fall and hope I still have a job like they promise in spite of all the CA budget cuts. Somehow it does all seem to work itself out - that's what I remind myself - it all goes a certain way/time frame for a reason, just wish I knew the reason in advance!!!. (((hugs)))

Tricia

[itsacin]

YAY Googie-I feel a positive comin' on for ya!

AFM-CD 21 - 10dpo - had hcg trigger shot -- is it CRAZY to POAS?? I know nobody will tell me I'm crazy here -- but I can take it! Haven't yet but wanting to. Have I mentioned the 2ww is really driving me nuts this cycle???

It is supposed to SNOW here this WEEK... hopefully it will be melted in time to hide easter eggs...hehe...

[triciaism]

itsacin - Your not crazy! I found that my trigger was out of my system at 7days (for multiple cycles) - guess how I found that out? The A.M. of 10d post I felt "nothing" (even posted here to qmomma) and that afternoon felt the slightest nausea - took the test and it was BFP. Some say they don't want to waste the money on the hpt's however I figure . . . I have already spent so much - whats a little more. Of course . . . I didn't like to see the BFN's but it helped me mentally prepare. Just my story If you do - please post here. If it happens to be BFN - remember it's still early. I think mine might of came up so early cause I had two in there but hard to say. Sending BFP vibes your way!
Tricia

[Charity]

Checking in and marking my place...

itacin...Hang in there hon...I usually have a plan to test every day from 4 dpiui to begin to watch the trigger get out of my system, but by the 7/8th day post-trigger, when the trigger is out, I loose my gumption and never can bring myself to test. Then, I usually test around 12 dpiui, and then it's BFN and af time...This cycle is going to be different though. We're both going to get that BFP at the end!! If you do test, post here hon...On the edge of my seat...

Googie...Thinking of you hon, and hope the 2ww goes by fast and of course ends with a BFP!!

[Pecan]

Happy sunday ladies,

Googie, praying that this is the cycle for your BFP!!

Vickie, Tricia, glad to "see" you ladies over here.

itsacin, honey you are not crazy at all. I usually stocked up at the dollar tree when I wanted to go an hpt binge. Sending you BFP vibes as well!!

Princess Charity, sending BFP vibes out to you as well.

Q, I agree with Tricia on the whole timing thing. You will make it work whenever it happens. Happened to me two months into my new job (after strategically trying to plan things for several years before.)...and we made it work.

Hellos to all,

T2, hope you are ok. I know tax season is here so you must be up to your eyeballs.

Have a great week ladies. Spring break is over for me,
Pecan

[Shortee]

QMomma - That's so great that you are now suppressed! You must feel relieved that it wasn't missed again and also excited about the upcoming FET. Refresh my memory...how many frozen embies do you have, and how many do you plan to thaw and transfer? Sounds like you aced the phone interview. Between that one and the other opportunity, I bet you will get a job out it for sure.

Lisa - Too funny about the ER episode. I haven't watched it in years.

Charity - So how's the vacation going? I'm so jealous. Well at least I have Friday off. It's no fun being on vacation and having to follow WW points. For me, anyway. You are a much stronger person than me.

Itsa - No I cannot imagine giving birth and not knowing ahead of time it's twins. That's crazy! Your poor mom! Yes I am still on Prometrium supplements. Getting pretty tired of taking them. Still no nausea or anything. So...are you gonna POAS? They say that the trigger should be out of your system by 10dpo. I, like Charity, POAS'd every day after trigger until I got a BFN so I knew it was out of my system, but I believe it was out by 9dpo for me. Wednesday can't come fast enough for you, I bet!

Googie - So how do you know how to time BMS? Or are you just doing it every (other) day? DH must love that!

Tricia - It's very interesting to me to see how you're dealing with your leave. I often wonder how it will go down for me. I also often think about childcare options (nannies, daycare, etc). Seems scary to me and I know I won't want to leave my child with anyone, but I will have to.

Not much new going on with me. Just reading alot of pregnancy books and magazines and trying to convince myself that this is really happening to me. Still don't really feel anything. And I'm counting down the days till my second u/s on Thursday.

Hellos to all,

Shortee

[BC-dawnymarie]

Shortee - be glad you don't feel anything yet. I was sick from 7dpo until 18 weeks. I can't tell you how many times I walked by someone else and ended up throwing up in their trash cans. It was not pretty. Can't wait to hear about your second u/s.

Pecan - how are things going with you. Any fun plans for the Holiday?

Lisa - Thank you for starting the new Thread.

QMomma - what is your schedule now that you are suppressed?

Tricia - that is great that you can stay home with the twins awhile longer.

its - snow??? Yikes.

No success this month. Went to the clinic and was just told I can't cycle until I have another D&C to see if I have any cancer cells that might have come back. I am beyond mad. I changed REs and now I am think of going back to my old RE even though it would problem be torture there.

Hugs
Dawn
