Ok, so for the newbies...I left for a mental break for a couple weeks. Was going to make it a month but I can't avoid you girls! Ha HA!!! Ya'll are addicting!

So my sisters (step sister and younger sister) had both found out they were pregnant. Turns out that only my step sister is pregnant 13 weeks! (Funny part is she is still married with her first husband but pregnant with her new to-be-husband's baby...She gets divorced on 4/7 and married on 4/10 so she can go to her docs appt on 4/11...she is 23) They decided not to tell me until she was in her 2nd trimester. Whatever! I wasn't really happy that both of them were pregnant with number 2s. My sister's AF came and she decided to wait till August because of DH insurance. I decided I could handle one of them being pregnant so I spent Easter at my dad's. Me and DH did leave early but it was a long enough stay. We have talked about not trying this cycle because it is nice having a mental break but then again I am ttc and there is no subject that I think about more. We are going to try this cycle. We will see how much trying happens but I should O maybe this weekend or on Monday. Of course, we aren't going to tell anyone because we don't want the 20 million questions. We will just tell them when we are ready.

I have been planting flowers on our new deck, drinking lots of yummy wine, trying to quit smoking, and working really hard at the job. Mainly just relaxing. I was real moody but I am coming down from the high. I am still not going to go back to my chinese doc for a couple more weeks but I will soon. I am not taking any herbs this cycle just lots of vitamins. I really would like to lose as much as I can in the next 30 days. I really need to get focused but I ahve been having such a hard time.

I have skimmed through alot of posts...I wanted to say how sorry I am for Mary Beth and that I hope you hang in there! You are alot stronger than me! Keep your head up and you will have another baby soon! Congrats Tanya....man you are a fertile turtle. Hope that little bean grows nice and big!!! Welcome to all the newbies!!! I hope to learn more about ya'll soon!!!! Tkeys - I am so excited about your IVF!!! I just can't wait to see what happens!!! I will try to catch up in the postings!!! Good luck to everyone and I hope we start seeing more BFPs soon!!!

Glad to have you back Chris. I don't think I would be able to take a break from TTC very long either. Good luck with your weight loss and hopefully you will catch this new egg.

Thanks Chris. This has been a rollercoaster cycle for me. My O date is still in question so I may only be 10DPO. I have never had temps this high or ones that stay elevated for this long. I am hoping for a soon. If I get a my EED would be December 7th. I like the idea of an early December baby. Dh's birthday is December 21st.

I know what you mean about not wanting to try every second that you have. If I am not pregnant this cycle I have to take next cycle off for a surgery and I don't like that idea.

Let's keep the hope of 08 babies alive!!!!

Thanks ladies!!! It is just so hard to stay away from you guys! TTC boards really feel like family sometimes. I think all the positive attitudes and encouragement I get from you guys is one reason why I just can't stay away. Seeing you ladies get the BFPs just makes me want to keep trying. Yes, it was nice little break but I still thought about it alot. I got a positive tonight with the digi OPKs !!! So I have to go make a little bugger! Thanks again!
