Good morning sisters!

I hope everyone is doing well today.

I'm very happy! Finally, I O'd! Thanks for everyone who sent me O vibes...the fairy visited me yesterday. Check out my chart!

I have no real news today, other than the O. DH and I have started walking in the evenings, which I'm excited about. Hopefully, that will help with my "Clomid weight"...I've put on about 3 pounds in the last 2 weeks, which I hear is common with Clomid...supposedly it comes off just before AF, so we'll see. Actually, I hope we don't find that out, as I hope AFSA! Of course, it could be the fajitas and chips with queso I had for lunch yesterday...Not exactly low-carb. :) Nah...I'd rather just blame the Clomid! LOL! Well, I better get to work...Only 15 more workdays before I quit! Yay!

Take care,

Anne

Good Morning SOS!

Anne, I'm so happy you finally got that O you've been waiting for! I'm crossing everything for you that you catch that eggie this month!

Lisa - Are you around and ok? Haven't heard a peep from you since last week and am a bit worried. Check in if you can.

Nothing new going on here to report. Any of you guys from Pittsburgh? I'll be traveling there next week on business.

Have a great day!

WOO HOO Anne! I'm so glad you O'd! Sending you lots of catching the eggie vibes. I'm starting my 1st clomid pills tonight and am a little nervous about the side effects. Not much going on with me today, just working. Hope everyone's doing well!

Hey Jen!

Yep! Finally, the O fairy worked me into her busy schedule! :)

Good luck with the Clomid...I was pretty nervous when I started it, too...you just never know what the side effects will be, but at the same time, you really want to do whatever it takes to get PG! Hope it goes well for you!

Hey Kathy and fellow Sisters,

Thanks for asking about me. I'm around. I've just been kinda lurking. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm just feeling, well, I hate to say it, I guess depressed and I certainly don't want to dwell about this here, that's kinda why I've just been laying low. I'm having feelings that I don't like and is making me feel aweful. I'm so worried about our finances and I hate the fact that I am starting to feel resentful towards DH about that, cause we've gone through all of our savings ( wasn't very much ), Sept. is here, and a whole new month of bills, and DH still isn't working. I can not tell you how many resumes he has sent out via emails, fax, and mail. Very few responses. I just don't understand. We're to the point he's gonna have to take something, anything, and I have even considered taking on a part-time job, which I'm definitely not happy about, but unfortunately, may be necessary if we want to keep our good credit standing.

AF is gone, on CD6, and my heart isn't even into TTC. I worked myself up last month and DH too, and just thought I was preggo cause cycle was so different. I guess Anne was right, it's all the stress. I don't handle stress very well sometimes. I just don't know how to shake these feelings. I've tried to turn it over, but it's like Anne's devotion from yesterday was talking about, I'm one of those that likes being in control, it makes me feel very comfortable, and right now, I control nothing ( not that I actually ever did, I just felt like I did ), Know what I mean ???? I guess right now, I just don't feel very inspirational. Things will get better when DH goes back to work, I hope.

Anne, so glad you finally "O"d. Hope you caught that eggie. Don't worry about a couple of extra pounds from the Clomid. I'm sure the walking will help with that.

Take care everyone, and I'll be laying low for a little while until we get straightened out and I feel better and get out of this "slump" I'm in.

Congratulations Anne! The BIG O!! Did you get all your "bases covered?" (If you know what I mean *blush*?) (((((Get that Eggie Vibes)))))) coming your way!

Well, AF paid a visit to me on Monday. I was bummed a bit as it would have been nice to see a BFP on Labor Day, but no such luck. Anyways, I'm on to a new cycle and being optimistic that it will be the last one I'll have to chart for awhile. :o)

Hugs,

Heather

Ah Lisa, I'm so sorry you're feeling down in the dumps. Worrying about finances is so stressful. PLEASE try to NOT worry about it (I know it's hard), but it sounds like DH is doing everything he can for the time being. Have you been praying? Worrying about things you can't control is so nervewracking......try and let go and let the Lord help you. If he has to "take" a job for the time being, then so be it. It will only be temp until he finds something better.

As for TTC, my suggestion is to not worry about it this month. If it happens, it happens. Oddly enough, I've heard so many "success" stories from people who have conceived while taking breaks from TTC. Hmm....wonder what the correlation is?

I'll be thinking of you.....try to make some time for yourself. Do something that will take your mind off of things for awhile. Take a walk, a long bath, get absorbed in a good book. It'll do wonders.
