Yaya, SJ and Magic: You're all such sweeties. BIIIIG to you! Thanks for those adorable blinkies (is that what you call them?)... what a pleasant greeting to discover after not logging on for more than a week! I miss you all extremely terribly. I really hate being so out of the loop and losing touch w/ you all.

But, I'm still not feeling ready to come back to BnB full time. I'm having a great summer, focusing a lot on enjoying life and veering away from TTC thoughts. I'm so busy that I only think of TTC on the odd occasion. Life's really great right now so my TTC troubles are not getting me down so much. Who knows what it is... but my cycle's been really good so far too. I've had TONS of good CM and even got a ginormous load of EWCM today! My panties have been good and damp the last two days! CANNOT believe I'm actually happy about that!

I'm going on a bit of a road trip this weekend down to the States. My parents and my in-laws are coming along and we're all in the same room so I won't be doing any temping!! It'll be great because that should be right at the start of my TWW... I'll have no choice but to NOT obsess during this TWW! Anyway... hopefully I'll feel up to loggin' on again before I leave for the trip. If not, know that I'm thinking of all of you and missing you, and will be back to do lots of catchin' up.

Hello my dears,

I've come back from the trip, and I've filled my closet and dresser with bagloads of really great shopping deals! Gotta love those outlet malls!

I'm now in the middle of my TWW. FF hasn't pinpointed Ov for me yet but I'm guessing it happened on CD 15 so that means Ov is back on my regular schedule instead of later, as it was the last two cycles. This has been a good cycle for me. My cycle started out really positively with good showings of all kinds of CM which helped me to predict and confirm Ov much better than when I just relied on temps. I also think I BD'd really well this cycle with just two well-timed sessions! (BIG stress reliever to not have to BD so much this time 'round).

Today, I woke up to a temp pattern that I've never had before... a super low dip at 6 DPO/7DPO. I've never had major temp dips in the middle of my luteal phase before; so, of course, I couldn't help but get obsessive over this new discovery! After hours of research, I've decided that I SHOULD ignore this one time temp and not focus on it as an early symptom. There's no conclusive scientific evidence that an "implantation dip" indicates a soon-to-come . BUT... because I've NEVER had any kind of dip like this before, I'm going to allow myself to get a little excited over it! Hee hee!

I hope you're all doin' well. Off I go to do a little more obsessing now!

NeyNey

Oh honey glad to see you back!! And I like the sounds of that dip...I know it's hard not to focus on it!

Lots of luck

Hey Cloudy!! How was the trip? Got some photos for us?

Gald to hear that your bding has gone well and your bod is playing ball too, and OMG that is soooooooo an implantation dip! I know it's hard to get really excited because the bfn's hurt a lot, but I do think this month is looking a little bit extra special for you! How are you feeling chick? Any symptoms?

NeyNey, snowbrdbella and magic: Thanks, honeys, for dropping by! I feel that I'm slowly easing my way back into BnB... don't know when or if I'll ever get back to being a full-time BnBer like I was, but I'm feeling more comfortable logging on more often again. It's really hard to impose a limit on myself and not read and reply to all your journals but in the end I know it's the best choice for me at this stage. The less I focus and obsess on TTC, the healthier and saner I feel! The trip was both great (lots of good shopping, pretty sights to see) and mundane (hours of driving along ugly highways). I haven't had time to upload the pics into my computer yet... I'll try to figure out how to post a few pics when I can!

magic: I fiddled around w/ my FF entries (changed the CM consistency, picked and chose between the temps from my 2 thermos!!) and finally settled w/ the current entries because I felt they were the most accurate and consistent. Unfortunately that makes my "dip" appear above the coverline but I know that's not a biggie.

I'm being verrry cautiously excited because I've had absolutely no significant symptoms. I've had the sensitive nips, mild nausea, a pinching/swollen feeling around my left ovary area right around implantation, and felt fatigued/groggy yesterday. BUT, I've had all of these before in previous cycles so I've ruled them out. Let's see what the rest of the week brings!

Luv ya, gals! Hope you're all having great cycles this month.
