It does sound like it geared up and maybe stopped so I would just keep BD every other day just incase :) FX and continue to test opk if wanted but between the every other day BD method and temping you'll be covered really well and be able to see when you've o'd by the 3 days over baseline temp

Well Melissa I am right there with you on the opk except mine are NOT positive :( I had a real dark one then they started getting lighter and lighter :( maybe I won't ovulate this round or just back to being really late O since I wasn't on my meds full strength. I'm just very discouraged I ruined my cycles getting back on track :( Now I feel like I am totally starting over and will take another couple of months to even have a chance! The last three cycles I've ovulated on cd 27 which I am on today and absolutely no sign of it. I'm telling I have ob appointment thur so I will get my positive opk Wed night :( so I can't bd and blow another chance :( Just feeling sad today and thinking fate intervenes and I am just not meant to have a child of my own :(

Myabe you did gear up to O or maybe your surge was just super short this time. Everything about ttc is just a stupid waiting game :( really getting sick of it. Sorry not being real positive today :(

So I posted that I had another positive OPK (just edited my post with this one)...well, while in the shower, my "positive" turned negative. The test line came up straight away nice and dark...then the control. While in the shower, the test line dried ever so slightly lighter than the control. Negativo.

What a fake-out.....

Melissa - I really hope you get your +opk soon! I hope your body can regroup and be back on track really soon... I know how frustrating that is!

So... I'm having an emotional crisis I need to vent about... my girl who works for me (due in Feb) tells me this morning that my boss' wife is preg with their 4th child... but he's not told me! He knows about my MC's and I'm afraid he's tip toeing around me... makes me angry. He's even been by my office this morning to chat and didn't tell me. And it does make me feel inadequate... they have 4 kids and I can't seem to get 1... but that's not to say I wouldn't be happy for him and excited for him. So, now I'm sitting at my desk - angry and feeling inadequate. Wondering what I did in life to deserve losing my babies. Thank god I wore my MC bracelet today... my memories of my babies are with me today... thank goodness. I just hope I don't start crying... crying at work SUCKS! haha! aww man........

This is my testing week... I hope I get my BFP by the end of it. Because it's going to be a long week. First this, then a baby shower I'm hosting at work on Thursday and have to make a diaper cake for it. Positive thoughts, positive thoughts...

You are strong to be hosting a baby shower, and I am sorry about your bad day at work :( I hope you can find relief and support here, thats what we are here for
I have been finding out new pregnancies about every other week. I am just in a daze now about the announcements, they don't affect me anymore, mostly because I am so busy thinking about my own dreams. I hope tomorrow will be a better day ((Hug))

Oh Lisa....what a shitty work day...I'm sorry. It really stinks to have days like those. But, if we don't go through them, they won't make us stronger women. At least that's what I tell myself!

Don't feel inadequate....just feel richer. LOL. More kids, more money flying out the door! Think of the college bills! Just teasing....hope you at least smiled!

Good luck on the diaper cake....have heard of them, but feel really dumb saying I don't know what the heck that is! I'm sure you will do a terrific job on it!

Thanks, Britt! I was doing so well until today! But it was like... I found out 2 people are pregnant and then my coworker is telling me all about her pregnancy, then I see a Royal due date announcement... I feel like I can't get away from thinking about babies which always turns back to "where's mine?" I'll be ok... I was hoping to get to yoga tonight to calm my mind a bit, but the class was full :( So, I'm just going to try to get a workout in tonight and spend time with my hubbs... while counting down to either my BFP of AF later this week. I'm always so calm right up until the end! haha! I just told hubbs last night "I'm eerily calm this time"... NOT!! haha! Hope everyone's had an amazing Monday!

And thanks, Melissa :) Your post was there as I was responding... I often wonder how one can afford 4 kids - so, yes, that did make me smile!! I also thought of your question this morning while I was walking into work... whether or not anyone here likes Very Bradley... I had my Vera lunch bag, Vera purse (with matching wallet inside) and Vera umbrella in my hand! And then I placed it all next to my Vera computer bag that was sitting in my office... all different patterns too! haha! So, yes, I think you can say I'm a bit of an addict ;)

omg Lisa....!! What patterns do you have?!

I waited almost a YEAR for Plum Crazy...and when I got to the Vera store on Wednesday to see the new Spring 2013 patterns...I was so sorely disappointed! Thought it would be a lot brighter in person....blah!! Wasn't worth spending $60 on.

I have Va Va Blooms in my work tote (Go Round Tote) as well as the Hipster for hands-free grocery shopping....Purple Punch (a throw-back pattern!) in the Vera tote for travel....and Island Blooms in the Laura bag for my everyday purse. The Laura bag is my absolute favorite style for a purse....can fit lots in it!

Summer 2013 patterns don't impress me....but, maybe I have to see them in person to decide.

*sigh* I love Vera.....

Thanks for that mental break from TTC thoughts..........!!

Haha! Love the ttc break ;) My all time favorite pattern is Barcelona which they retired a while ago. My first pattern was seaport navy and I just realized that I bought it 10 years ago last August! Where does time go?? I had my hipster today in Barcelona with my new opera wallet I got for 20 in December online when they did free shipping (the perks of it being retired) and I can't remember the names of the other ones but they are all bright... Haha! I always think whether I'll get a Vera baby bag or not, but I'm not sure. Not sure I could get the hubbs to carry it...haha! My mom was here visiting last week and my mil took her to our Vera store and she saw the new patterns and seemed to really like the new black and yellow one. I haven't seen them yet. I'm trying to ignore them so I don't spend money that I need to save to buy a house! Haha! Watching the bachelor now... Anyone else watch the bachelor??
