I think you need to do this TODAY Stacey. Especially before you start taking that TTC stuff I sent you. Most of that stuff won't hurt your or the baby if you are preggo, it's just Flax, EPO and some other stuff I don't remember -- but just to be on the safe side, ya know?

 

[Stacey]

THANK YOU GREEKY!!!! Yep, the hours will Suck.

Thats sweet of david to take you out for ice cream--yummmm

 

[Stacey]

Heya NT-- Yep it is really cool.. the hours won't be much fun..but he said he thinks its 2 days on 2 days off.... like that.. He finds out more today!

 

[Stacey]

FITGIRL~ YOU THINK I SHOULD??? Really?!! Okay I might go by one at lunch. Crap I hate wasting money on those..they are ALWAYS negative!!

 

[Jill]

Hey-I have a bunk knee too-I have whats called patella something syndrom. I used to run like crazy, and thats what really agrevates it most. I have NO arch in my foot, and Steve says I walk with my feet inwards, like an idiot! I no longer run, and find that if I do too much cardio, it starts to act up. I also have insoles, except i dont wear em... If i dont over do it on the cardio they are fine.

 

[shortstuff]

HEY STACEY!!!!!!!!!!!! Had to come say hi and am glad Matt is getting a promotion but I know the hours will suck, enjoy the weekends and what you have right Youa re such a doll

 

[JLB001]

Us and our bum knees! I've had more crap happen to my right leg than anything. Bad car wreck in 96 shattered my right heel into 7to 10 pieces, had to learn how walk again and stuff. Was non weight bearing for two months the first time, then a month the 2nd time. Then the thing with my knee in Jan. To bad we can't ask for limb replacements.

 

[Fitgirl70]

Stacey, are you back from lunch yet? Did you go get a pg test? C'mon girl, give up the results.

I know it's hard when those are negative, but just remember, you're trying to just make sure you're not, before taking any types of meds. Does your doc know you still haven't started?

 

[greekblondechic]

I'd like a whole body replacement please

[shortstuff]

That is awesome Stacey!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am on Spring Break right now so I start Spring term a week from today, we do quarter schedule at PSU, where I go to school so our terms are ten weeks long, not 16. I am just hanging out relaxing and reading in the sun, which I will be heading out to do in about 20 min. I love not thinking Darren is wonderful, I love being able to spend time with him, cause start Monday I will be taking 5 classes so very little time to head out of town. Oh well, like you, we have to enjoy what time we get, but awesome about Matt's new job!!!

HEY! I forgot to get a test when I went to the store... I got a new cute top though..hehehehe.
Pink too.

I really don't want to waste money on a test..but I will get one maybe.

I have been reading on this site..and it says that cramping is a sign of ovulating..and I have had bad bad cramps since I woke up this morning.. took 3 advil at 10:30 and that did nothing. Hmm?

Oh and Fitgirl-- I drank that shake just now- YUMMMM Nitrotech ROCKS!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMY

 

[Fitgirl70]

Yes, it is true that you cramp some when you O, but it is usually only sporatic and only on one side or the other. Also, the ovulation cramping only lasts a day or so!

I'm so glad that you like the NitroTech....those are my favorite drinks. I just bought a four pack of the Vanilla on Saturday -- YYYYUUUUMMMMMMYYYYYYY

 

[Stacey]

Shortstuff~ Hey pam!! Oh I loveeeeeeeeee reading in the sun!! ENJOY!! Thats great your on spring break!!! Relax!! Wow you are going to have a busy schudule coming up--

 

[naturaltan]

2 on 2 off sounds like a great roatation! I could work 2 12 hour shifts if I knew that I'd get 2 days off ...

 

[jstar]

Hey Stacey! Hows the knee? I hope you're having a great day hun!

 

[Stacey]

Tammy-- yep thats what I read also. This is only on one side..but I'm assuming its my Endometriosis..or maybe a baby!??! I think Matt is going to by a test this afternoon or tomorrow.. He always wants to buy them..hehe.

 

[Stacey]

NT: I know, if thats the way his shift will go-- I LIKE That!!!

JSTAR: Hey!! My knee is still bothering me a lot!!!! Thanks for asking. The advil did help the knee..but not my cramping. Guess it can only do one thing at a time..hehe!

 

[Stacey]

umm guys beware:
Tammy & Girls-- I just read this & I'm scared b/c my cervix does not produce mucas.
This is from tips on pregnancy

8. Look out for mucus. When ovulation occurs, your body produces a slippery, thin substance called cervical mucus to help facilitate the passage of sperm. If you examine yourself daily, says Weschler, you'll notice a vaginal discharge that's transparent and stretchy between your fingers, like egg white, on your most fertile days.

 

[naturaltan]

Stacey ... I think you're stressing too much about what is happening. Just let nature take it's course. Stress won't help you become pregnant.

 

[Stacey]

Heya NT-- Yeah I know I really am...I'm just curious what is up with my body...

Ya know I read that is a myth--that stress will not cause you to not get pregnant..BUT I just don't believe that one..hehe!!!

 

[Stacey]

Tammy I got the shakes for 1.99 a can!!!! But they were the 11oz. size (30grams of protein) I got them at the Vitamin Shoppe.

 

[Fitgirl70]

Hey, first and foremost.......CALM DOWN! Not every woman ovulates every month. There are months that I don't either.

SECONDLY, you can still get pregnant if you don't have any cervical mucus. Although the CM is helpful, it is not totally necessary! The appearance of EWCM (egg white cerv. mucus) is sperm friendly, you don't need it. Plenty of women get pregnant with never seeing that stuff!

Also, don't cause yourself any UNNECESSARY stress, by thinking about stress causing you not to get pregnant.....girl, it's a vicious circle -- trust me. Just take it one day at a time, try to keep yourself healthy and happy and take your meds/herbs/TTC packs. Also, please keep in mind that -- thinking about getting or being pregnant also can sometimes make your body really think you are (i.e., not starting your period). Just remain calm and don't, please don't put too much stock in that TTC information. A lot of it is heresay.

And one thing, I've remembered - especially over the past few months -- do you think women 50 or 75 years ago worried about CM and temps and stress??? NOOOOO

 

[Stacey]

OWIEEEEEE CRAMPS!!!!!!!

--omg I think like that ALL the time--what women 50-100 years ago thought about..hehehe.

Thanks girl for all of that.. You are sooo right!! I need to get off the damn internet

I really should calm down..hehe. I was fine last week..and now my mind is going in circles!!!!

Thanks for the Mental check.!!!!!!!

 

[Fitgirl70]

You know you can always come to Tam Tam for the upfront honest truth. If I can't give it to you, I know Butterfly can!!

I've come to the point in my life Stacey, where I just don't care anymore. Not that I don't want a baby, but I was so FED UP w/ worrying about it every freakin' month and going "oooh, oooh, today is the 10th day or the 12th day, and calling Brad and going, we gotta do it right now!!!" That inevitibly always makes it hard from the get go.
I'm just takin' it one step at a time now, and if we get pregnant -- girl I'll be dancing from here to Houston with that news
But for right now, I just wanna be healthy and get my body the way I want it and enjoy making love to my husband again. I was tired of it being a "chore".

 

[naturaltan]

that's what I tried to same Fit ... ... although coming from a women has much more meaning.

 

[Stacey]

Hey girlie..thank you sooo much.. I know I can always count on you & Ann for this stuff. (And Everything else) Thank you!
You know Matt and I don't even talk about that "ohhhh we gotta do it now... Its this time or that time" We just have sex for fun.. every now and then if I'm cramping he will go "Are you pregnant"
But we Never talk about babies or trying to get pregnant. We both know we are trying..we just don't talk much about it..thank god he is not like me thinking crazy stuff all the time.

Thats good that you are enjoying it all now!!!!!
