Morning. I am freaking out!! I don't know if I should believe it or not, but you guys were right, the BFP's rolled over here. Boobs are swollen and sore, metallic taste in my mouth. I am gonna get bloodwork done ASAP, and as soon as that confirms I will be mailing little baby statues to my parents and DH's!!

thanks. I am in shock Christie, though the metallic taste in my mouth is quickly changing that to reality. I so want to go buy more tests and take them, or get to the lab and get the bloodwork done- but we had a snow storm and DH has the car

Hi ladies...I'm sooo behind on the last 3-4 pages. I'm sooo sorry. The house is finally UP FOR SALE, I'm 5 DPO, we are going out of town this weekend and our SA is Monday. DH is flying out to IN for a week next week, so spending time together and staying off the laptop. Lots going on and I'm sure you all understand. I'll be back soon:-) Hugs to all!
I want to come back to some BFP's!

Ashley – I bought ph strips at my local health food store. They were $20, but there’s enough paper in there to test at least 120 times, so I figured it was worth it. It’s been ridiculously fun to test the ph of different bodily fluids, too! LOL
Misty – What did you do for your cleanse?
Kristen – I already congratulated you on your BFP thread – but here it is, again! Congrats!
AFM – TGIF – I love the weekends! DH said he’d come home a little early today, so I’m looking forward to that. Nothing much exciting going on here. Still peeing on OPKs and checking on my CM. Planning on an alkaline douche when I get my +OPK – how’s that for scary?! We have Girl Scout cookie stuff to take care of this weekend – 3500 boxes (our troops order) to pick up at 8:18 tomorrow morning. Woo!

Kirsten - Double congrats to you! I said it on the preggo thread on here.
Mandy - Basically you change your whole way of eating. There are alkaline diets out there on the web and very minimal things I could eat. One thing is to stay away from acidic foods. Google alkaline diet and see what you come up with. If I would've known about a douche, that would've been a WHOLE lot easier. lol. I'd try that first rather than starving.

Shel - an alkaline douche is supposed to bring the ph of your cervical mucus down so that it's more hospitable to the spermies. Because God knows, I want to be hospitable! "please, spermies, come on in and make yourself at home! Find yourself an egg and burrow right inside! Can I get you a drink? Something to eat? Perhaps some 7.5 cervical mucus to swim around in???" I've read about a lemon juice and water douche and a baking soda and water douche. I will be trying the baking soda solution. Your supposed to do it 30-60 minutes before you DTD. Supposedly it will fix your ph right up (mine is way too acidic - like a 4.5!) but WON'T wash away your own, natural secretions (like oil and water, CM and douche don't mix.) We'll see!
Misty - Thanks for the info! I have looked into acidic and alkaline foods. Last night we had French Onion Soup for dinner, because onions are alkaline. It seems like it would be REALLY tough to stay on an alkaline diet, though! We eat a LOT of chicken, and it's a no-no! I'll hope the douche works!
