How are you feeling?

a menu ! dang! mmm, fresh pineapple tastes so good! i'm actually drying out a crown right now. yup, i'm going to grow some pineapple plants . i had a pretty big plant my friend gave me last year, but my hubs forgot to bring it inside when we had a couple of freezes this past winter (i was in ny), so it died.

i've had a little odd cramping today and also i have a slight headache right now. i'm thinking it might be the progesterone. 4 more days...ttyl <3


here is a link if anyone wants to grow pineapple plants (yes, you can grow them indoors too)

okay ladies I am back! haven't been feeling all well off and on, I have 4 eggie's to freeze at the blastocyst stage! yeah! I am not sure if the things I feel are real? Is anyone's stomache feeling full and tight and having that white cm stuff, or is it cause I have changed the ring out? very confused, I wish that we could only know when they implant, so many mixed emotions! when can I test, what's earliest?

I also wanted to say, you might want to ask your doctor about taking a probiotic with the doxycyclin? Walgreens and Walmart have one called Culturelle, and it really really helps my tummy when I take those with antibiotics. That and lot of yogurt...etc.

It's still too early to test!!! You need to wait until 9dp5dt for it to really show up.

This is what happens in a 5dt:
-1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
0dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
1dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
2dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
3dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
4dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
5dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells & fetal cells
6dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
7dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
8dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
9dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT

Your welcome. It's been floating all around this site. I think Kristen posted the 3dt and the 5dt one not too long ago. I just emailed to myself so I would have it eadily available. I'm starting to drive myself crazy with this waiting stuff!!! I'm supposed to be working!!! Every feeling I have, good or bad, I question.

Me too since I have never had a viable pg... and never any impl spotting either... I'm making myself paranoid. I printed it and keep it with me..... Overanalyzing it is driving me nuts! Guess it's not going to do me any good to POAS before Tuesday...

Nope the only thing it would show today is negative if you wanna see if all the trigger is out. It's not a good feeling to look at it though...I feel like crying and laughing at the same time today. I don't know when or if I should poas again! I think that it would be better to wait b/c I don't want to see a negative!

Wow!

I'm gone for a few days and I had lots of catching up to do, lol. I caught that stupid virus that's going around, no fun! I picked up my Lupron yesterday and was told officially to start it on the 19th...I'm so excited! I can't wait to stick myself in the leg w/a needle...some people might say I'm a little nuts..hehe.

Kristen - I have Endo(didn't know it til recently), but it explains the horrific cramps I get w/ , so it could be that you have some too. Endo is an odd thing, some people can have stage 4 and no symptoms and some people can have stage 1 and be in pain. It depends where it is I guess. I will definitely let you know when I visit my family in TX next, it would be great to meet you TX ladies!

Heather - I like ur avatar! I'm such a slacker, I need to put one up. I hope the weekend flies by for you, beta Monday here you come!

I am impressed at all of you ladies that are staying strong and not poas! I don't know if I will be able to contain myself. I definitely want to do it at the beginning to watch the hcg leave my system...and yes maybe to also actually see two lines for once, but and that we will all get to see them for the REAL reason we want to see them!

About me...I work w/my DH, he is a partner in a software company. We sell test prep software. I am the Administration Manager...Acctg, HR, etc. Nothing as glamorous or exciting as some of you ladies! My hat is off to you! I also do MinPin Rescue for IMPS, it is a national organization. Internet Miniature Pinscher Service, Inc. (IMPS) I have been volunteering for them since 2004. As a volunteer I foster, transport, go to adoptathons, do homechecks, etc. Fostering is very fun but can be very hard too, making sure you find the right home is key! My MinPin Cocoa will be 5 this December...I can't believe it. Some people (DH) think that she is spoiled, I just think she's loved!

Melis74 - How did they diagnose you with endo?? Did they do a lap? I guess I'm curious now because the pains during AF have gotten worse over the past six months, so much so that when DH and I babydance or the RE puts in a speculum I want to fly off the table in pain. So I'm thinking I have it but haven't ever had a lap to confirm. When I went in for my last ER, RE said she saw some some haziness on my right ovary which could have been endo and that was the side that I had excruciating pain on after the ER. I've also had several cysts on that side. Who knows. Just trying to figure out if I should try to have a lap done before I go into this next cycle or just let it be and see what happens...
