Thread: Exclusive Chat Club for Charters--Part 2!

Too funny about the dollar tree cheapies. I hate them too!

My "average" cycle day is 14. Which puts me at cd9 right now. 14 falls on a weekend, which makes BD chances way higher. hehe I haven't been temping, I was going to relax, but I probably should just make sure right? I mean I have to do progesterone cream to lengthen my LP..

Oh to be able to relax and enjoy the process sometimes..

Mary and Shyla- I hope you can find a way to pass the time quickly and 'relax' while waiting. I'm not sure how that's gonna happen but since you both asked for it, I'm gonna hope it comes to you...along with beautiful lines after all is said and done!

so hard to relax period lol! really need to find my thermometer. don't want to buy, yet another one.

I know what you mean, Shylah, it is hard. I've managed to do it this time, though, so far. I was determined to enjoy every day of this 2ww. Plus I've been sick the past 4 days with severe diarrhea (sorry if TMI), so that has helped keep my mind off of it. Wound up having to take a trip to the E.R. today, turns out I have gastro-enteritis. Hoping it clears up soon.

Oh PS: my temp took a NICE jump this morning, just wish I knew if it was related in any way to the stomach virus. I would think it would be strange to suddenly jump like that when this is the 4th day I've had this. Oh well, I should have an answer in a few more days. I might try to test tomorrow morning if I can, but it depends on how the night goes, because I may wind up having to drink lots of fluids if I'm in the bathroom a lot.

*sigh* CD1. The old witch arrived on at Saturday at 11:30pm. Ugh. Time to start figuring out my game plan for this month. No cruise, no reason to not temp, so no speculation on when O day actually is and if we caught it or not. Pre-seed bought and ready....This is the beginning of cycle 4 post Mirena, and my body seems to have leveled off to a normal cycle length, so hopefully I am better prepared this month. My only fear is worry that my cycles may continue to get shorter and shorter, and I don't need them any shorter. I don't want to have to worry about a too-short luteal phase, or some crap like that. 30 is a good number.

Sorry, Amanda Hope next month is your month!

By the way, meant to tell you before that I think it's awesome that you guys are almost debt free! WTG

Those who celebrate Father's Day today: Will you get to see your father? If you have kids: what are you doing for DH?

I won't get to see my dad, he's out of town right now, but I sent him a nice card and will call him today. If I feel up to it, I'm going to try and take my DH out to lunch when he gets back with Hannah from church. I was too whooped to try and go with them this morning, and even DH said I needed to stay home and rest some more.

Last night was better, woohoo! Only had to make a trip to the bathroom ONE time, so was able to sleep more. I had some yogurt and banana this morning for breakfast and so far so good. I'm a little nauseated, but hopefully it will pass. I think the Immodium AD helped, took a dose last night, then another one early this morning.

Tested this morning (I know, it's early) and BFN. I fully expected that, though. Just wanted to see if I could be one of those rare ones who got an early BFP (if I'm even pg, that is). Will try again on 10 dpo. Temp is still looking good.

Hi Mary - Thanks! I actually should clarify that ticker. It consists of our consumer debt less student loans and mortgage. 6 credit cards, 2 car payments, and 1 consolidation loan - which consisted of previous credit card debt. Our student loan & mortgage debt is a whole 'nother ball of wax. We have just under $1600 to have the last car paid off, and then we're going to start attacking the student loan debt with a vengeance.

Sorry....I tend to ramble; and I don't want to hijack the thread with my debt story. If you're interested, the ticker will take you to my blog where you can read our story.

I saw my Dad and Pawpaw today. It was a great day. We cooked burgers and hotdogs at Pawpaws house and I got to see my family. They live 2 hours away, so we dont get to see them real often, but they arent so far away that it's a long time between visits either.

Mary - Your temps are looking good!

Mary temps are looking really good. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Amanda - sorry about the witch. good luck this month.

I'm also intrigued about your debt reduction. Do you mind me asking how long it has taken you to get this far? I've been reading Dave Ramsey's stuff and am on a mission. It looks like in 26 months we can have everything but the house and student loans paid off. Which to me, seems like a crazy long time. It'd probably be less if I could wrap my head around the zero sum each month. I hate not having a cushion there (as well as my savings) just in case.

I'm going nuts ladies. No temping at all. I have no idea where I am in my cycle, though if my body is still following normal patterns I should have O'd yesterday. Can't wait for AF to start so I can be totally back on track. I never thought I would be so comforted by that little chart.
