Rather not journal actually. I might regret this later but now I'm feeling paranoid and worried someone might identify me as me.

Trying my new siggy with a cycle ticker!

I'm having one of those blah Saturdays. Too early to test, to early to have very many symptoms one way or another, and I'm just curled up in a ball on the couch reading these forums which for some reason I only discovered last night.

I know I have to make a casserole for my church young adult's group tonight (why do I sign up for these things?), I know I should clean up because we have friends coming over tomorrow, I should get a haircut because I'm starting to look horrible, I should at least put in a load of laundry...

I feel just awful for not doing it all.

I work so hard all week and figure the week-end is going to be AWESOME and every Saturday I just sit there and get nothing done because I feel blah.

I'll put on some christmas music and take a candy cane off the tree i guess! That always helps

Welcome to journals!!

Sometimes after a long week you really need to just have a day to do nothing. I hope your Saturday gets better.

Christmas music always makes me happy

BTW - I'm Stef

welcome to the boards and good luck this cycle!!

Lex&angels · #9 November 15th, 2009, 07:43 AM

My symptoms as of today :

Vivid dreams since yesterday (VERY vivid, including one dream where I had a baby boy who was in his high chair on the porch and a bee stung him)

Sore breasts (but not worse than normal PMS)

Slightly constipated

It's too soon to really expect many more symptoms, they could mean anything either way. My temps are high, but not especially so (for me, I sometimes go up to 37.2 �C, I'm kinda stuck at 36.9 �C and this morning it was 36.8 the first time I tried but I think I didn't leave the thermometer in long enough so I tried again)

HI Lex, I hope this is it for you! Good luck!!

Lex&angels · #11 November 15th, 2009, 04:40 PM

One word : Acne!!! I don't look very nice right now. It started on 7 dpo and it's getting worse. I NEVER get acne at this point in my cycle, and I use really nice skincare so it's not just me being careless...

Positive side : pregnancy sign?
Negative site : will I look & feel like a teen for my entire pregnancy? lol

jensma · #12 November 15th, 2009, 05:41 PM

I'm having acne and weird dreams too!!

I hope this is a good sign!

Lex&angels · #13 November 16th, 2009, 12:05 AM

yay!! and we are at pretty much the same place in our cycles, too... so maybe?
no dream that I can remember last night, but can't be having them EVERY night either!
Kinda worried because my temps aren't LOW, but they aren't excessively high either. It IS kinda soon to expect them to be going down for AF though.

mandyt · #14 November 16th, 2009, 11:57 PM

Your temps look very much on the high side to me, and your chart looks pretty overall! I know I'm being a POAS pusher but I still think sneaking to the nearest drugstore with $15 cash in hand is a pretty good idea!

Lex&angels · #15 November 17th, 2009, 12:10 AM

haha !!! But it's 10 DPO and my FMU is long gone ! So maybe tomorrow. He's at band practice tonight, I'll look through a few places I think he might have hidden them (in the guitar cases in the closet, in his box of manga comics in storage, or in the set of drawers in storage I never open (too afraid of spiders)
or maybe I'll just ask him nicely *wink* *wink*

Lex&angels · #16 November 17th, 2009, 11:31 AM

OK I have exciting news ! I didn't post it this morning because i was running late as it was... but I've gotten out my C-cup bras that I bought back when I used BCPs! I had been a B-cup before, and since then. It was really starting to be WAY too tight, and I fill out my C-cup comfortably !!
I don't know if this is a fluke (10 DPO seems early for such a dramatic change) but who knows?

AshEE86 · #17 November 17th, 2009, 12:58 PM

I hope it's all positive signs for you!!

If you can't find the tests...sneak out tomorrow and buy a new one and test test test!!

Lex&angels · #18 November 20th, 2009, 12:20 AM

some more censorship

Lex&angels · #19 November 24th, 2009, 02:17 PM

I've been kinda out of it. I haven't been temping (early cycle, I don't usually start until at least CD 7)
This is crazy though. My period is *just* over and I'm starting to get slippery wettish CM. (sorry for TMI but you ARE reading my journal

)
Will I O early this month? I doubt it. Probably a fluke.

Either way, I've been trying not to think about it. I have been trying to keep busy with other things in my life at least until TTC would seem reasonable again - and it's been (moderately) working. Between work, my todo list, stuff with my friends, and christmas shopping, I've been busy!

I'm kinda putting off going to get my books at the post office (ordered 3 pregnancy books, one in french, one in english and one with recipes for pregnant women).
I'm afraid I'll go back into *crazy* mode.

That's the update!

Lex&angels · #20 November 28th, 2009, 08:58 AM

H1N1 has hit our home.

Dan is sick, and has been since yesterday, high fever and all.
I'm starting to get sick (I'm sure I'll be by tomorrow)
So we're probably out this cycle since I should ovulate sometime next week but I'm sure being sick will interfere with it and either way his body tempurature has probably killed his sperm.

And then, I should be ovulating around the time of our move in January, hopefully the stress won't stop me from getting pregnant.
