    Oh! And:

    Win - my sister is pregnant

    Whine - my sister is pregnant
    Tell us more!
    because she's saying things like "I'm so happy I'm the one making our parents grandparents," and she called me up to say that although Jared and I got married first, she and her husband are pregnant first so we're "even." (She and her husband were always irritated that Jared and I got married when we did).

    OH NO SHE DIDN'T!!!!!

  • I am sorry, but that is just rude.   Emotional or not, life is not a competition. Although, I find myself comparing myself ALL THE TIME. 

    Good times.

    YAY for babies though.

    Thanks for the validation :) I need it. It's definitely not a competition, which is my usual response every time she says something like that. I guess I've just been planning to start a family so that when she got pregnant and began saying things like that, it got personal.

  • Its one thing to make it a competition, but its another to say at least one is making mom and dad grandparents.  You are getting your masters. You are setting up a future for your child/family. That is important.
  • Thanks :) I really appreciate it!

  • Have you signed up?  If not, sign up under me. Then I get 5 days of VIP sweetness.  Then I won't obsess over my chart since I am 8 DPO and have excellent timing.
  • Oooo win! I have signed up, but I can with a different email address just for you ;) I need to get a new BBT so I haven't been charting the past couple of months. So maybe if you send me an email, it'll get me back in the game and you'll get the sweetness ;) 

    8 DPO... testing in 2 days? ;)

    you are sweet.  I ordered my BBT on Amazon 2 years ago bc Am recommended it.  exciting times...

    If you have it posted as a siggy, you will feel accountable to update it. At least that is how I feel.  haha.  

    Yes, I am trying to hold out. I only have 2 tests left. So I am trying to use them wisely.  They are technically expired.  I wonder if that really matters? It isn't like milk and smells bad?

    Mine got lost in one of my trips >.< What type do you have? 

    I'm not sure if it technically matters. But you should just buy a ton from amazon. I've heard that these are good: http://www.amazon.com/Wondfo-Pregnancy-Test-Strips-50-count/dp/B004AOMAOG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390536991&sr=8-2&keywords=wondfo+pregnancy+test

    only 38 cents each so pee away guilt free ;)

    This is the one I have.  It beeps a lot but whatever. I wish I had gotten one that didn't beep very much.

    lol I have those.  so I don't feel as bad testing.

  • 9 DPO? I wonder if I can turn a test that early. I can't test after O has been confirmed because I get too anxious.
  • I've read the percentage/chance of a positive test depending on how many DPO you are somewhere. I'm trying to find it :)

    I will be waiting for that vent of yours :) First morning urine is definitely the best to use. 

    Good luck!
