Hey! Sorry I haven't been around much. Hope you had a happy future Mother's day! Normally this day kind of makes me sad but this one shaped up to be a good one. Saturday I was able to see my friend whose dad is not healthy at all. It was (is) a sad time, but I try to be there for her through such a difficult time. Spent today with my mom and we did lunch and shopping. It was nice.

Hope you can get in for that doc appt! AF should show tomorrow here. Hope you have a great week ahead!

I didn't make my appt to get blood drawn. I forgot I am supposed to do the glucose tolerance test so I need to schedule that for another time.
Glad you got to be there for your friend. Hope AF shows up. I have prometrium and femara but am going to wait until next week to start I think. We are going up to the lake house on June 8th and we won't be alone so I don't want to have taken drugs and then need to BD that weekend. ha

Haha! I understand not wanting to chance missing some BD sessions when you are around company! The glucose test should be interesting. I've never done one of those. I'm glad you can schedule a nice weekend getaway!

Not much new here. AF is being heavy. And I'm so bloated. Need to get on track with exercise next week. The weight loss challenge at work is to the halfway point and I don't think I have even lost a pound! Ugh . Oh well, contest or not, Im going to shed this weight. It's summer here already and that means less clothing. Seems I have been bloated for the last 2 weeks so I'm definitely ready for that to go away.

I think I may have started AF yesterday. I am not sure because it's not heavy but i have felt bloated too. Yeah I am not sure when I can schedule for that tolerance test. I will probably have to take a day off.

I'm glad AF showed for you! I hope you had a nice weekend! I'm dealing with a nasty sunburn. I'm so ready for a long weekend!

Yeah it was weird she showed up out of nowhere. I am pretty sure that cycle was annovulatory. I started my femara on CD 3. I am only taking 2.5mg so we will see what that does. I have been having hot flashes so I think that could be a S/E of the medicine.

I did have a nice weekend, I got to see my brother, sil and kids. We started designing a new deck for my mom. Hers really needs to be replaced.

We always seem to be close in cycle which is somewhat funny. I don't think its possible to sync via the internet haha. I hope you had a nice weekend too. Hope that sun burn doesn't stick around too long. I agree I can't wait for the long weekend!

I'm excited for your femara cycle! I hope the weekend plans don't interfere with BD sessions if O happens to be around that time. Hopefully, you guys can sneak away if necessary though!

The new deck plan sounds fun. I think it's nice for you guys to design one for your mom!

It is kind of funny that we are on similar cycles. Maybe if you hang around someone long enough on the Internet, you sync up! Haha.

AFM - looking forward to the long weekend. It is my guy's birthday on Saturday so we will do something fun. We are still seeing each other and things are going well. After this weekend, I need to lay off the good times and get back to studying for that test I failed last summer. I'm testing again sometime in July, not sure of the exact date. It's been the dark cloud over my head all this time and I've procrastinated the re-take exam so long, it's embarrassing. So, time to get back to studying and get the dang thing over with. Other than that, not much else new. Hoping this cycle shortens a bit from the last. Every little bit is an improvement.

Almost done with my femara. Today is the last day! I think we should be fine as far as bd is concerned. Yes, she definitely needs a new one. I don't think we can cover the entire cost but a good chunk of it at least. Ha yeah I thought that was pretty funny about our cycles. DH and I have decided to take on our landscaping. I just can't decide what to do . We don't have a lot of room but we need something. We have the plain old evergreen bushes (Yew /Taxus) and I just hate them. I can't wait to rip them out which we are doing Saturday!
I am glad things are going well with your man. I hope you have a nice time celebrating his birthday! That's okay with the test. You needed some time and this time you will nail it. I hope your cycle improves too!

Hi ladies,
I have a few extra seconds to spare so I thought I'd check in.

Christina - Good luck with the Femara!

EM - Nose to the grindstone young lady and study for that test! Glad to hear you and "your man" are still together and having fun!

As for me...another l-o-n-g cycle again with no ovulation yet! At least this cycle, I'm getting some EWCM so I hope soon it'll happen. My temps are very rocky...up, down, up, down...crazy! Ever since my grandfather has passed, my body hasn't been right, plus I'm working so much now that maybe that has a lot to do with it...being extra run down??

Kerri
