I bet my chart looks less pretty now especially after yesterday's temps! LOL. It was cold in the room Sunday morning, but I'm not sure it would effect my temp that drastically! It did rise back up today quite a bit, so that could be good... I just don't know!

The only weird thing that happened this cycle is that Saturday night at a family BBQ, I got these 2 or 3 really sharp cramps in my abdomen. They literally pulled me out of my seat and I doubled over. It was enough for DH's cousin to see and ask if I was ok. I just blamed it on gas, but secretly hoped (and still hope) that it's something baby-related. But that's about it.

Anyhow, Yay for being 12dpo! I'm happy about that... but since I counted myself pretty much out this cycle, I don't know what to think! I didn't read into any signs or anything like that like I normally do. I'll see what happens through the day and maybe I'll get a feeling one way or another. Hopefully it'll be a good feeling! (Fingers crossed!). If anything, I might test tomorrow, but that's not likely! I'm such a scardy cat!

Thanks for stalking me guys!

cris, i'm stalking your next temp!!!!!!

snsgirl336 · #13 April 28th, 2009, 07:55 AM

Thanks ladies! I put in todays temp... it went down a bit and I've started some spotting, so I'm gonna go ahead and guess I'm out. I just don't feel like AF is gonna come right now, but I'm sure she's right around the corner...Now I get to talk to DH about whether or not we're taking a small break. FUN... not

~*Jackie*~ · #14 April 28th, 2009, 09:48 AM

Just because I'm curious, why do you think you might need to take a break? Do you mean from temping, or just everything?

LisaBrown · #15 April 28th, 2009, 04:03 PM

I think you might still be in the game...temp dip and spotting but not typical AF signs sounds like they could just as easily be implantation signs, you never know! I like to say: ''it ain't over 'til aunt flow sings!''.

GL!

Soape · #16 April 28th, 2009, 04:14 PM

I'm curious just like Jackie...why a break? I'm so confused because I thought that ya'll were finally moving forward

snsgirl336 · #17 April 29th, 2009, 09:16 AM

Darn AF showed up this morning... so I'm out.

I kinda knew it would happen, but it still stinks. Thanks for all the support though! It really does mean a lot.

Jackie and Amanda- The reason I am thinking about a break from TTC (thinking of trying the NTNP thing) is that after my latest breakdown with the timing and stuff, I've just felt done with this. I know, perfect timing, right? Right as we're making positive steps towards figuring this out.

DH and I talked and since this is the busiest part of his lacrosse season, and I'll be filling in for my Dad's receptionist at work for 2 months, it just doesn't seem like it would work out for us. I'd never see Shawn. The only way I see him now is that I travel with him and we sneak in our BDing when we get the small chance to. With me working an hour from our house and him coaching an hour from our house (and those places are 45 minutes from each other), the schedules just won't allow for us to even see each other except on the weekends. Don't get me wrong, we aren't going to be preventing, but for our sanity sake, I think this is the way to go.

Our next step is the HSG (since all our tests came back normal) and pending everything goes fine with that, we'd move to Clomid. I don't think it'd be smart for us to start meds and monitoring when we wouldn't even be able to gaurantee that we'd be in the same place at O time. Plus, getting the time off of my temporary job would be really difficult to explain. Um, I'm only working here for 2 months, but can I have all this time off so I can go to my Dr who's 60 miles away? Doesn't seem too responsible, plus, the guy I'd have to explain my absence to would be my Dad and since he doesn't know we're trying to make him a Grandpa again, it would be even more difficult.

So I think our plan for now is that we'll be trying, but not trying very hard if that makes sense. If we are together around O time, great, if not, that's ok. We're really just trying to protect ourselves from even more heartache (if that's possible). DH seems convinced that this is the time that we'd actually get pregnant... when the odds are against us. I hope he's right!

I do have to call the nurse at my Dr's office and let her know that AF came today and let her know that we're going to postpone the HSG until June or July (which might work out better for insurance purposes- since our coverage year rolls over in July and we'd have to meet all the deductables and stuff again- it would save us some money)

So, as much as it seems like we're taking a step back, I'm trying to look at this as a step forward... clearing our heads and concentrating on things other than babies and hoping that maybe something will happen when we least expect it to.

~*Jackie*~ · #18 April 29th, 2009, 10:24 AM

That's totally understandable! It sounds like you have a ton going on and I do agree that there's no sense in starting meds/monitoring if you don't even know if you can BD around the right time. I hope your hubby is right and that it happens when you least expect it to (in the next few months!)

Ditto to Jackie. I think everything you said makes complete sense. ((HUGS))
