Quiz Time!

Okay I gave Spencer a quiz just to see how much he pays attention when I talk about this stuff. Let's say he failed. Horribly. But most of these are funny.

TTC- Trying To Conceive (Correct)
AF- Assault Frenzy
BD- Big Dick (close)
HPT-Haven't Potty Trained
BFN- ? - (no answer)
BFP- ? - (no answer)
IUI- Oh Damn, It's your pregnancy thingy.
POAS- Pussy Outter Assualt Sequence
IB- It's A Boy
FMU- Fuck Me Under
SA- Si Amigo

Afterwards he asked me why us women don't come right out & say it. He doesn't understand why we have so many abbreviations. 

CD28

Surprise, Surprise. I took a test this morning & got a BFN. I'm not that hurt, plus it ain't over till AF shows. I was supposed to test on CD29, but decided to do it a day early. Going to be picking up more tests tomorrow & wait till Monday CD32 should give my body to figure out that "if there is a baby" it can produce the hormones that is needed.

Right now I'm at CD25 (dpo 9) .. I woke up with cramps. It's been off & on for about 2 days. Figure we pulled something. But got pretty interesting this morning. I switched into jeans earlier & they got worse, so right now I'm rocking out the PJ's.
I want to test but afraid I'm going waste a test since AF is close. FF wants me to test on Friday, but FF also says that AF is going to arrive Thursday.

Checking your Cervix

Someone from my FB TTC group gave this description for one of the ladies on how to check your cervix & thought that this was the best way I've heard so I'm going to share with you. This is what she said. ---


"As you approach ovulation, your cervix will become soft, high, open, and wet — you can remember this with the acronym SHOW. After ovulation, these signs reverse and the cervix becomes firm, low, closed, and dry.

It might sound easy, but most women aren't familiar with touching their cervix and when they do, they don't know exactly how it should feel. (How soft is "soft," for example?)

The best way to learn about your cervix is to start checking it once your cervical fluid becomes wet and continue checking for a few days after your temperature has risen. That phase of about five days is when you'll notice the most abrupt change.

To check your cervix, insert your clean, middle finger into your vagina up to at least your middle knuckle or even further. Notice how the cervix feels to the touch. Just before ovulation it may feel like your lips. After ovulation it will feel harder, like the tip of your nose.

Even if you check your cervix, you still need to monitor your two primary ovulation signs: basal body temperature and cervical fluid. This means taking your temperature every morning, before you get up and after you've had at least three hours of uninterrupted sleep.

If you've ovulated, you should notice your temperature quickly rise above the range of lows that preceded it. It should stay high for 12 to 16 days, until you get your period.

But the change in temperature doesn't tell you when you're going to ovulate, only that you have ovulated, so it's important to use this method in tandem with observing the changes in cervical fluid throughout your cycle.

After your period, you will probably notice a few days of dryness, followed by increasing wetness until your cervical fluid has a stretchy, slippery quality. This is the time, just before ovulation, when intercourse is most likely to lead to conception."



Hope this info. has helped you, like it did me. I knew before tho, just never thought about it this way. 

My Prenatals

You don't necessarily have to be pregnant to take these. Well like it says on the bottle "Important Before, During, and After Pregnancy". It's always good to prepare for something right? Well these do the same thing. Full of Vitamins!
I picked these babies up at the local Walmart. I ran out of the Rx I got from my Dr & didn't feel like asking for more. But cost me $4. Can't beat that right? Plus if your like 95% of the population & have to pay for your Rx when you pick them up $4 is cheap compared that. So why not?

This morning I went in for a Folli Check, even though I'm not on shots, I would still like to get the Trigger which unfortunately with Army Dr. that's the way they do it. Annoying! I am so ready to see my Dr. in Houston.
But funny story. Unfortunately I have to take Hayden with me 95% of the time since it's early in the freaking morning, and Spencer usually has to work at that time. Well anywho, they had to do the Vajay way (yes I was covered), there was this little screen off to the side so I don't break my neck trying to see my ovaries. Hayden goes, "Mommy!, where's your heart?!" I thought the nurse died laughing. She'd never heard anything like that. LOL Gotta love my child tho.
When she started looking she had trouble finding my ovaries. Uh, duh!, y'all switched me to a lower medication. What do you expect?! Let's take time to look at what I was on before. Gonal-f which ranged from 75mg-112.5mg, you say that y'all are over budget & since I'm not doing an IUI I can't get anymore. Sooooo you put me on a lower Med. Femara "2.5mg" . Hmmmmm, I wonder why you can't find anything!
Oh, as I looked on my med. bottle to find out the mg. I was taking since I didn't remember off the top of my head I noticed one of the little stickers that they put on it. Okay I know women have used this drug to get pregnant so I'm not going crazy over the med. but the pharmacy. The sticker says, "Do Not Use This Medicine If You Are Pregnant Or Plan To Become Pregnant". Really?! Haha, are people stupid or something? I hope it's not contagious.
Anyways! Summing this up. I take my Trigger Shot Thursday. And then time it from there.

*more info later*

Ugh Army Dr's

So I'm ready to be in Texas now & out of the Army. I am sooo over these Army Dr's & how they analyze everything.

I started a new cycle(surprise I know) Friday, called the office a bit late so they didn't get back to me until today(Monday). Here's how this went. I got 2 phone calls:
1) nurse asking me if I'm going to be able to do an IUI. I told her no because we are hopefully moving in a couple months & we are saving money.
--(first let me tell you that these IUI's are $180 a pop / per cycle. We have the money to afford another child so don't think we can't but why would I waste $180 per cycle if it's not going to work)-- Anyways, she then tells me I'm not doing the shots anymore because they are over budget & since I'm doing IUI they are taking me off of it.
2) phone call two. Asking me if I wanted to try out "Femara" 2.5 mg. So they sent that to my local Walmart instead of driving 30 miles to post for it. Finally they started thinking lol.

So 2 tablets for 5 days & I go in for a Folli check on the 26th. I would like to know if I'm dropping these eggs. I know I'm making them for sure but if I'm not releasing them weve got fix that.

So we continue...
