Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful day. DH is currently in the dog house for leaving piles and messes around the house. He doesn't seem to understand how annoying it is even though I've told him numerous times. It's like playing a game of how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop.
Well this would be a nice valentines present if it would turn into a positive over the next 24 hours! Darkest OPK I've had this month, so really hoping it turns into a positive and doesn't disappear!!

Morning! Work is off to a slow start which means I'll likely be stuck here late. I volunteered to stay late on Tuesdays which in hindsight was dumb since Tuesday/Wednesday tend to be busiest. But I'll be getting overtime so the extra cash will be nice for our savings account!
I need to call the daycare assistance place over lunch today. A's information got changed from when I filled out application so he doesn't qualify but J does....
So now I need to get it fixed so he qualifies....why does this have be so difficult people

FI surprised me by stopping at my office this morning and leaving my V-day gift on my desk. I was so touched I started crying. And then I choked on a hash brown. It's been an interesting morning
OH! IDK if I mentioned this here, but my DD has a boyfriend. Er, um, fiance. They've been going out approximately one week and the drama has already started. Yesterday her "fiance's" ex girlfriend's best friend (follow that?) started passing fake notes to DD's fiance saying they were from DD and she wanted to break up with him. But, she's wearing his ring (lol) so he knows as long as she's wearing it, she doesn't want to break up with him. She got him a stuffed teddy bear for V-day. Did I mention these are 8 year olds? I thought I had at least 5 more years before I had to deal with mean girl and boyfriend drama.
I caved and done another OPK, even though I had only kept wee in for just about 2 hours. If these guys start to get lighter, would you count the 1st one I done as a positive? Because last cycle I had a almost positive OPK, and had AF come 9 days later. I'm on vitex now to help my LP get longer. So yeah, if they get lighter (like goes down tomorrow) would you say that the 1st is a positive?

Woah, when I was 8 all I cared about was what was on TV!

Right?! I had a "boyfriend" at that age but it was really just the kid down the street who I hung out with and played video games with. None of this crazy drama.

I'm no expert - been 9 years since I used OPKs, but if I remember right, I think you're starting to see a surge, but I wouldn't call that positive just yet.
beefinch Since you didn't hold your pee very long, I wouldn't worry about the lightness of the latter line. Do a longer hold and test again tonight or test tomorrow and base your opinion on whether or not that was as close to positive as you'll get. :)
Also, are you taking Vitex on your own without having discussed it with your care provider? If so, I would caution trying to mess with your hormones without adequate medical support. It can (and, unfortunately, has) mess your fertility up in ways that you may not have considered. You don't need any monitoring like with fertility meds, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask a doctor if your history has anything that might react poorly with the Vitex.

Yep I'm doing a long wee hold now, not going to until around 6pm (would've been 3 hours then) and then I'll do another pee hold until I go to bed at around 11pm (good 5 hours) I would hold it now until around 8pm but I'm going to be having dinner at 6pm, and I know drinking can mess up the results, and I do drink a lot with meals (water!!)
Yeah I've done a lot of research before taking it, and I don't have a history of what the vitex messes up with, luckily have a very straight forward and 'normal' history. It seems to be helping me right now as last cycle I didn't O until CD35 and I'm on CD17 right now!

Whoa what? They are already using the term fiance? My DD is 7 and if this is what I have to look forward to, then I might have to brush up on my mean mom skills! lol.

Yep. That's what they're calling themselves. I have a feeling DD started that, though (her dad & I are divorced, I'm engaged and getting married in May). They exchanged rings and everything. O.O

ahhhhh! This makes MUCH more sense. I am divorced as well but DD was only 4 when I married DH so she didn't have the "bug" yet.
H bought me a wine glass that fits up to a whole bottle of wine in it depending on how bad a day is....I may need a couple glasses
I am waiting for a call from economic support in regards to A's denial.
I went back and looked and I had on application that both were in our home and the court order(s) have been sent in. However, they now have that he is out of home-which would explain the denial.
I'm hoping to get this corrected today and find out how much we are getting monthly for assistance so I can tell our caseworker what our daycare charges and what we get. Whatever difference there is then that will be added to our monthly rate we get for foster care so technically we don't pay anything for daycare net affect out of pocket.
I just want to know so they can get the monthly rate figured out so we know as well.
I just want this daycare thing figured out so it's done.

Does anyone here wear contacts? I have monthly ones and I swear they get more uncomfortable and give me headaches about half way through the month. Am I going crazy or is this something people have noticed? My doctor pushed monthlies and this was my first time with contacts so I didn't care but I kind of want dailies when these run out ...

I do but because I can't wear contacts at work I don't wear mine very often. Mine are monthlies I believe as well but they tell us to change them every two weeks.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Today I'm taking a day off from my diet and eating all the yummy things and getting a molten chocolate latte from Starbucks. I'll be good again tomorrow

I wear contacts and was told to change them every 2-4 weeks. It may be that yours are drying out quickly and you need to replace more often. But that way you can use them quicker and move on the dailies that much sooner

Cheat days are necessary sometimes. And that latte sounds delicious.
