Tandi – Wow 150k LESS or even 75k LESS! Maybe houses were I am from don’t go that high to be able to offer such a drastic amount off, but geesh..that seems like a slap in the face. When we bought our house, I was nervous to offer 3k less..lol! If you have a fair market value and you are priced lower than other homes with 5 acres, stay strong I know you will get a ‘real’ buyer!
Renee – In FF once you are logged in, click sharing and then home page setup. At the top of the page you will see the heading “Your charting Home Page Web Address. You can modify that last part of the address to personalize it to your name if you want. Then just paste that link and everyone will be able to see your temps. Note, that you can also select what information you want others to be able to see on this same page. If your temps start to rise, FF won’t say you have actually O’d until you have 3 high temps in a row.
Kimberly – It really is good to have you back, we wondered if some of those we lost would ever return, so having you back just puts a huge smile on my face! Ladies here have really become family and you are so right, NO one can really understand what we go through but the ones who have gone through or are going through this journey. As for my son, all I have really been giving him is cough medicine. I do not like to medicate whenever possible, however, his cough is just so bad the poor guy can’t sleep without some cough medicine. I haven’t given him Tylenol or aspirin or anything. His temps have been hovering right around 102, and he has pretty much done nothing but sleep. I appreciate your input on the Tylenol though, I actually wasn’t cuz I figured there had to be some things in the cough medicine that would help him with his fever too, and didn’t want to give him too many things to take. But now with your added information, it will be something I watch even closer when my kids are ill. With your last tube rupturing at such a low number, I totally understand your concern. My dr. told me there is no way for them to tell if it is in the tubes or uterus until the numbers are high enough. I had a BFP in Oct and m/c in Nov and my numbers made it to 1391. They just monitored me very closely to make sure my numbers didn’t drop and raise fast. With a dr that is on board to following Dr. B’s protocol, I am sure they will monitor you closely, and at any sign of anything abnormal, just make sure you go to ER. HOWEVER, hoping you won’t have to worry about any of that…fingers are crossed for you that you get your sticky bean!!! Keep us posted. I will add you back to the list tomorrow!

Thanks for all the support. I need it right now. I am leaving in a few minutes to go get my blood drawn. I am scared to death. I am driving myself crazy. What if I am wrong and the test is negative, then I will feel stupid. I have taken 5 tests and all of them have lines although some have no color. But, if I am right, where is it? I only have one tube and REALLY don't want to lose it! Will my numbers come back really low like last time. They started at 10 last time. The only thing I have noticed a lot different is that my back is not killing me. Last time, it was a chronic dull ache that kept me up at night because it hurt so bad- started the day my period was due and never quit until my emergency surgery. My breasts hurt last time and they are not hurting now although they are a lot fuller. Sorry if TMI. Could my urine just be more diluted since I have to pee like every 20 minutes. See how I am driving myself crazy. I just wish I could wave a magic wand and have all the answers. I will say that I have a really good doctor this time and he is going to follow protocol precisely. If a blood draw comes back abnormal then he is going to give me the shot and not wait, since I ruptured with an HCG level of 300.
Heidi, Hope you are doing really well and will get that BFP really soon. I have missed you!!!
Berta, I am sorry to hear about your m/c. I hope you will get a sticky bean next time. I agree with you about the tests. I just wish that they were not so hard to interpret!! I just need an answer one way or another!!! Do you temp your temperatures? Maybe your temp has risen. I dunno though cause I don't track temps, just read about them. What is CFMB? I must be behind on abbreviations. Thanks so much for all the support and your wonderful e-mails at Christmas and such. I am sorry that everything has been so busy, but I am going to make time this year to check in regularly! I would be lost without you guys. No one understands until they are there!!!
Danelle, I hope your DS gets better really quick! How high has his temps been? Are you giving him tylenol or anything? Sometimes if you give tylenol for fevers of 102 or less, it can prolong the body's ability to get rid of the virus or bacteria. Sometimes none is better. I always give my kids tylenol starting around 102.5 to 103, just to make them comfortable and to make sure it doesn't spike too high.Studies have shown, that kids that do not get tylenol for fevers recover quicker. Just some thought, and a little of what I have learned. I do not know his history. Trust your gut, you know when to take him in to be seen and when something doesn't feel right!! I would love to be added back!!! My cycle lengths were 5.5(L) and 4.5(R) If my test is negative, I will be cycle day 10. My left tube was removed. Surgery was July 20th.
Nicole, I am right there with you!!! Can't wait to hear the outcome!!! If you don't mind me asking, what brand of test did you use?
Renee, I hope this is your month!!! Nausea is a really good sign!!!!
Isn't it funny that we are now praying for nausea, sickness, headaches, soreness, backaches, ect... Life is full of ironies! Sorry this post is so long. When I get going, I can't stop!!

just stopping in to say hello. I've been temping this cycle and FF never picked up O. I missed one day's temp in the middle somewhere. I also seem to be having some issues with my thermometer. Most days it works, some days it seems like it falls asleep. If I turn it off, then turn it back on then it finishes taking my temp. Of course, I am not certain that it is the real temp then...Since I am not familiar with how to read the chart, I have no idea if there are some clear signs in it or not. Not sure how to link it either.
today i am so completely naseous that I don't know if I can eat. I didn't feel good the last two days but I figured I was burnt out from all the busyness of last week.
hope everyone has a great week. it has been raining/snowing/sprinkling here over the past week...not enough moisture to solve the drought, but it's been enough to green up the grass finally.
I've been busy these past few days. I'm still temping, but no "O" yet. My temp shot up high one day and crashed really low the next four days. Oh, well, it's not really a good time for me to get preg anyway.
When we came back from vacation we had two offers on the house. One was $150,000 lower than asking price, the other was $75,000 lower. We are by FAR the lowest priced house on five acres in the whole valley, HELLO people! Anyway, I'm sure we will be getting a reasonable offer very soon.
I hope we'll be getting some BFP's around here real soon.

Sharon - Amber has just been really busy, but Berta emailed her last week I think it was and she replied. She is getting back to normal and is having weekly blood draws done. Her last number was 8, so hopefully she will be on the TTC road again really soon. We understand things get busy, good to hear from you! Check in when you get time
Nicole - The month I had my BFP, my line was REALLY light. So light that the dr preg test didn't pick it up, only the blood draw confirmed it. I SOOOO hope this is it for you!!! Be carefully and make sure you get checked out as early as possible, to protect yourself! Keep us posted!
Ellen - Sleep apnea yikes, never knew anyone with that problem. Hopefully the tonsils make the difference, Good luck!!

Nicole - Fingers crossed...what do ya mean we need more babies...we need A baby (I know what you meant - just teasing.)
Kimberly - Welcome back - I agree with everyone else's comments. Take care of yourself.
Sharon - So glad to hear from you. Boy, do we all understand hectic...but glad you found time so say hello.
Berta - GL with docs...actually, I find docs are ok - it's everyone else assoctiated therewith that tick me off (no offense to anyone in med profession...I'm actually pretty close to nursing school myself...yeah, I need two or three more degrees!). The stupid hospital here sent me a collections notice for the bill from my e/r visit is March...because they can't figure out how to submit the claim to my insurance...HELLO!! I'm also fighting with them over a bill for my annual exam LAST SEPTEMBER...because I haven't gone to my doctor since then?! Losers!!! Hoping you Oed. I am temping just through Oing...and it looks like I'm on track for Friday. But, like you, I will put the themometer AWAY after O is confirmed...I jsut can't sit and anaylze the signs all day...life is too short. BTW, how were your friends on Mother's Day - I'm sure a VERY hard day for them!
Gotta take DS#2 to doc...he has serious sleep apnea (as did my older son) so we need those HUGE tonsils out ASAP! What fun!

Hi ladies, Just popping in. Well, I had an iffy test this am. Not too sure. It could have been evap, but my girls also saw the line for the first time since I've been testing. I feel very pre-menstral, and my cycles have not been over 34 days since TR. I guess I'll wait and see what happens in two days. If I don't have my cycle by Thurs. I'm taking another test. I'll let you all know what happens. Please keep your fingers crossed for me. This would be so awesome. We definatley need more babies on our board!
Sorry I have been so distant lately, but things are just really busy around here. Between both the kids sports games and practices, I dont have one day of down time. Looks like everyone is doing well here.
Hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day.
Welcome Back Kimberly:)
Has anyone heard from Amber?? Just wondering how she is.

Morning everyone! Hopefully things are going to calm down for me now..just been so crazy these past few days. DS is still sick, but the dr said it must just be a really bad virus. He had him get a chest xray to check for pneumonia but that came back ok. I dunno, he has had a fever now for 6 days and I just feel so bad for him. If his fever isnt gone by tomorrow I will take him back for more tests. Hopefully this will be his last day down though. DH is home with him today.
Kimberly - Welcome back!! It is good to hear from you again!!! I agree with Berta, to get checked out ASAP. Too many ladies who have had 'ify' tests and irregular bleeding have experienced e/p. Better to be safe than sorry for sure!! Congrats on school, sounds like the end is in sight..how exciting. I still have a long way to go to graduate, but I only take about 6-7 classes a year. Hoping you stay with us, it helps to have such a great support system. Would you like to be added back to the tracking list?
Berta - Hoping you caught that egg! Must be such a different experience to not be using any detection methods when you were so used to it. As far as the monitor. I honestly had no idea they existed or what they were before this board. Guess I felt that OPK sticks would serve the same purpose? I dunno if months keep passing by like they have been with no luck, I will consider purchasing one.
Leo - How about an update with you? How are you doing? Any change?
Heidi - How about you? Still in limbo land?
Nicole - Sorry about the BFN, Have you tested again?
Sharon - looks like your getting close to POAS time!
Gotta catch back up on work from yesterday, but I will check in later.
Welcome back Kimberly! Well here is my opinion, I dont like 'ify' test results and seeing as AF was not so 'normal' I would advise you to have b/w done asap. Why risk the only tube you have left??? Better safe than sorry? Like I said, though, it's just my take on it. Good luck!!!
Well I think I O'd yesterday - had left side pain so I'm thinking that is what it was.....no way to confirm...so we'll see! lol.
I have to go today and get my med records from my previous ob/gyn, should be interesting, as I have not talked with him or his office since my e/p last year. Hopefully they do not give me lip about giving me a copy of them.......
Well sun is shining and looks to be a good day starting.
It's so good to be back. I haven't posted in a long time. Nursing school is kicking in full force for me this summer, but if all goes well I will graduate!!! It is so nice to see familiar names again on the posts! I wasn't sure what the name of the board was. Thank you Berta for giving me that!!! To catch up.... Last year I had an ectopic pregnancy that ended with the removal of my left tube. I have not gotten pregnant since. This month I was suppose to start my cycle last Sunday(9 days ago). It did start, but I only had a "flow" for one and a half days then I spotted for four days.Which is hugely abnormal for me. I took a First Response on Friday and there was a line, but it had no color. I took another one this past Sunday and the same thing...line, but no color. I went back to the drug store and bought EPT and First Response, today. On the first response, again I got a line with no color. On the EPT, I got a barely visible blue line that gradually darkened over an hour. Here is where I need your expertise guys, Are the lines what they call evaporation lines or is it a positive test. Ohhhh, I forgot to mention that I used first morning with the EPT, I took a second test this afternoon(EPT) and the same thing happened, only the line was lighter than the first morning sample. Am I crazy or is this positive. I have never used EPT. I have used first response religiously and I always get a complete negative- with no line. I am going to the MD tommorrow for a blood draw. I'll get results on Wednesday, but that is sooo long to wait. What do you guys think?
