Catching Up and the TWW

Hi all - thanks for checking in!

Sorry I haven't posted lately, but it was a holiday weekend so we were busy and I ended up getting sick. :-( Okay, to catch things up a bit....

Well, first of all some GREAT news: I got a strong positive OPK test on Saturday at 9am. I was thrilled as it wasn't looking good the day before. The test lines on Friday were almost invisible. I feared that I wasn't going to have a surge at all. But, much to my delight, it was positive on Saturday. Unfortunately, my temperatures were all off. On Friday I was up and down all night and didn't get more than two hours of sleep at a time. (If only I were in training for an infant!) I don't know what it was, but sleep eluded me almost completely. This made my temps pretty high on Saturday. BUT, on Saturday night I had the most intense O pains I've ever felt. They weren't unbearable and not too bad, just surprising. So, I really think I O'd on Saturday night, but FF is putting it on Friday due to my lack of CM and temps on Friday. Something I have to keep in mind as I near the end of my LP. We'll see...maybe my LP will be 9 months!!! The good thing is that DH and I BD'd all the way through the weekend, so hopefully we caught our eggie.

One thing I am tickeled pink about is that my best friend found out she is PG again!!! I suggested she test last week, and she got her first positive on Thursday. She has a m/c in December, so I really hope she has a healthy bean this time. I'm sending her all the BEST pg vibes EVER!!! I so hope we can be PG together - would be a dream come true. I must say that it made it so much easier to be super excited for her because I've been a part of the whole process with her. I think it's harder on me when I hear someone is PG unexpectedly. That's when I get that yucky jealous feeling that makes me feel horrible about.

The other thing that happened this weekend is that I got sick. I haven't been able to speak normally since Saturday, ugh! I think it's just a virus, but still frustrating nonetheless. That's the other thing that happened on Saturday...the Mucinex (that was helping me get the only CM I was getting) was upsetting my stomach and I was having horrible acid reflux problems so I had to stop taking it. In hindsight too, I think the clomid really upset my stomach as well. When I get acid reflux, I usually don't know it until it's quite bad. In any case, I might have just use robi instead of Mucinex next clomid cycle...we'll see.

Other than that, I'm doing great. Doing a bit of lurking on the FF "waiting to test" message board, but probably won't post there...I like posting with my BBC girls to keep my sanity.

One quick word about a BBC friend - please send Monty your thoughts and prayers that she doesn't have to go through chemo after her molar pregnancy. She just received some bad news about her Beta numbers and really needs our prayers right now. Thanks to everyone.

Lastly, about clomid effects. I can't say I'm feeling anything else at this point, so I guess that's good. Other than my cold, I'm feeling quite good. That's all for tonight - love to everyone!

xoxo Yo!
