Mmmmmmm, coffee......

[paranoidpattie]

Good morning ladies,

I'm sipping a giant Dunkin Donuts coffee coolatta right now, does that give any clues as to why?  :-) I'm doing my monthly TTC regimen where I treat myself to something I deprived myself of during the tww whenever AF is on her way.  She hasn't shown yet but my temps dropped and I saw a teeny spot and this is the way my cycles always start.  I'm proud of myself because I only tested once this cycle, believe it or not.  I had a blood test done at the doctor's office on Monday (10DPO) and they said the result would be back in a couple of days.  I called the office on Wednesday and of course they were CLOSED!!  I got a BFN that night anyway so believe it or not, I still never called the doctor back for the results.  I figured that if it was positive they would have called me.  

I'm not bummed about this cycle but I can't try again until the cycle after this one because DH has a business trip scheduled during my next O time.  That's the thing that bums me out.  But other than that, I'm feeling alright.

Decaf. tea is not really decaf---If you read the box it says one glass has 4 grams of caffeine whereas a "real" tea has 10grams.  Bummer!!!!!!!

[pcarsey]

Milky.. some herbal isn't okay.. you should read up on that. I'm not sure what is and what isn't but I have heard a lot of herbal teas are a definite no no. Just a word of precaution.

OMG..I'm sipping decaf tea right now....I'm goign to pour it down the drainer and have some chamomille instead..(I guess herbal is ok...) THANKS!!!!

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

LOL  But I don't think tea is ok even if it's decaf.....except for green tea.....don't know why but that's what I heard.....and I'm a tea drinker

[miky72]

Thank you girls.you saved my sanity!!!!

[poupoune26]

I'm drinking decaf and decaf diet pepsi.. I also think it's caffeine that's harmful...so decaf it fine.

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

I think Decaf coffee is ok I think it's the caffiene that is harmful......

[miky72]

Actally I have a question...
Do you guy drink decaf???or should I avoid decaf too??? (i'm going to cry if the answer is yes...)

[poupoune26]

I'm sorry about your bad news but you seem to be taking it well..good for you!  Isn't it nice to have a month that doesn't affect you as much as some others!   I'm still in 2ww so, hopefully if it's bad news, I won't be too devastated.   About that coffee thing...believe it or not, I didn't really know it was a no no during ttc!!  I read about it but didn't think it was such a big deal.  I was drinking coffee and diet pepsi all over the place.  It's my first cycle drinking decaf..hope it makes a difference!  Enjoy it while you can!  :)

Mar, be good and don't let us temp you if you're 6DPO.  Maybe just get the donut and stick to your normal dose of java.  Hmm, so the delayed O worked for you.  Well, I do plan on starting my work out plan, so that may delay my O a bit.

Vsentz, girl, you always crack me up!  

I bet you the coffee shop people thought you were crazy when you drooled and sniffed LOL!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that I had a nice hunk of cake with orange cream icing drizzled on it. (I'll be crying about the extra 5 pounds I gain in a couple of days) :-)

[vsentz]

DAMN!!! I envy you so bad!! lol.....i had to stop by the mall the other day and walked by the 'Gloria Jeans' coffee shop........OMG!!! i literaly walked in.....saw the menu......drooled quite a bit....took a big sniff....and walked out almost shaking..!!!! that's how bad i wanted a darn capuccino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway......
I can join you with a donut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that i can eat.....a nice plain krispy kreme......HMMMM!!!!!

see what you did?? now i have to get one!!!!!!!!!! =))

[MAR13]

It is funny because I did stress about not O on time and the O was delayed for a week - not necessary a good thing - but hubby was back then ;-)) And yes - I do need a cup of coffee, but since I am 6dpo - I am being little paranoid and I am limiting my daily coffee doze upto one cup ;-)))

[paranoidpattie]

MAR, your brain isn't working because you haven't had your Caffeine!!!!!!!!  :-)

I was hoping maybe I can O a little later this time, because as far as my calculations he'll be back about two days AFTER my normal O time.  
Maybe I can put extra stress on myself to delay my O  :-) But we'll see what mother nature does!!
Thanks!

[MAR13]

I meant to say - can you share - my brain is not working yet - it is too early ;-)

[MAR13]

Gush - can share?!  You have a right attitude - I always believe that next cycle will be better ;-)) And you never know - maybe you will ovulate before his trip - I was so bumped when my hubby went away right at my ovulation time - and it turned out that my ovulation was late that particular cycle and I didn't even know about it ;-)))) Good Luck anyway.

[paranoidpattie]

LOL,  good old Java can make us crazy, as if TTC doesn't make us crazy enough!!

Who knows, the reverse psychology may just work. Being anxious and paranoid surely doesn't!!

[tina1111]

I've had several cups of steaming hot straight up coffee this am. It was wonderful! I'm pretty sure I don't stand a chance this cycle with all the drama and being out of town(alone). I'm continuing on as if it's a definite bfn. Hopefully, reverse psychology will work, lol.

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

No decaf darn the luck but if nobody else goes back and drinks some I'm going to have to poor out the pot because I'll drink it all by the end of the day.....I've already filled my jug for the 2nd time.......but hey I hardly ever drink coffee so I couldn't resist.....

[paranoidpattie]

Ha-ha,

Miky72 & Brown-Eyed Girl:

It was REALLY good too!!  I got up extra early this morning knowing that I was going to need to leave early enough to get it LOL.  Sorry for rubbing it in.  I'd much rather have a BFP than the coolatta but what can you do?  :-)

Miky72, Good luck on your frozen cycle and I hope you can manage to keep your mind off of it during your wait.

Brown-Eyed, I'm sorry you caved on the coffee, I hope you at least had decaf :-)

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

You are so mean......I was doing good now I had to go make some coffee and I'm craving donuts....cruel I'm telling you.

[miky72]
