CD24 ,DPO 11/12

Just keep waiting, just keep waiting, just keep waiting!

Ugh! I hate the Two Week Wait.

I'm down to the final five days. Not counting today, of course.

My temps stay hovering in the 98.7 range.

I have had cramping at around the time of ovulation, along with spotting.

Since then I have had a couple more episodes of spotting.

We covered the week of ovulation.

My fingers are crossed, so are my legs, I keep having to pee!

This could be a good sign,

 or

 it could just be my age and the fact that I HAVE delivered 6 full-term babies!

I keep having phantom symptoms.

The cramping being the main offender.

Hoping that this could be a sign of a baby snuggling in for the next 9 months!

Clueless

I am totally lost. I have no idea what's going on. I heard that soy isoflavones could help with hormonal imbalance and work like clomid..hmmmm, kill two birds with one stone? So, I got some. I took them for five days..cd4-8. The week after my cycle ended I had spotting. Last Wednesday to be exact. Just for a few hours. There was menstrual like cramping as well. I felt it was too early for ovulation, so I didn't bother to test (opk). Then I did test (opk) for ovulation on Friday, bFp, and again on Saturday, again bFp. So...baby dancing commenced. There was then, some more spotting after. Grrrrr. Then today. There was spotting. (baby dancing was yesterday morning time). It took that long to register?!! I'm having cramps as well. I hate to hope. I'm scared to hope. Could it be? Could it be implantation? Could it just be the soy messing up my regular programming? Stay tuned for more of your favorite show...

What to say when she loses her baby....

This is a post written by another blogger. It sums it all up perfectly! What to say and what NOT to say to the woman who has just lost her baby(ies).

Tag! I'm it!

She did it. She found me. Tag? OH YEAH. She done tagged me good! She's done laid me out! AF has hit me with a vengeance. She can be quite vindictive. So, needless to say, I'm out of hope for this cycle. I finally started, for real, yesterday/last night. I am having a really heavy cycle right now. I just wish it would get back to normal. That would be nice.

What the Heck?

Weird stuff going on here. My cycles have pretty much been the same for what seems like forever. I would start with a few days of spotting then have a couple of days of heavy bleeding, then a moderate day, then spotting and done. Four cycles ago it got weird. I just had brown icky, sticky spotting for the whole week. The next month it was normal. Then another brown, icky, sticky cycle. Now this one started of with a bang. Straight to bleeding and small clots. That was on Wednesday. Yesterday, B.I.S. again. Now today, spoting. What gives? Maybe it's my age. Maybe I'm heading in to the perimenopausal stage. 

No bueno.

Not happy.
