[lol2811]

I certainly hope so Andrea.

Weekend was ok, back at work this morning though BOOOO!!!

Yesterday was quite difficult though, really struggling with stress levels which I know isnt helping with baby making. I just cant seem to relax and all I can think about is babies, I dont know what to do to snap out of it, it is driving me crazy!

 

[jeepprincess]

First off, I'M SOOOO HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR GREAT NEWS!!!! CONGRATS SWEETIE!!!

As for me.....I think I'm going to take it easy this cycle. I think I may have crossed the fertility line So....since I had checked me with all these fertility test and I was fine I talked my DH to checking his...well we got that spermfertility thing and I could tell that he didn't really wanna do it, but he did bc he is the best and loves me. Well, needless to say, there was a faint positive line but since it was soooo faint and he could hardly see it he started freakin out and got all upset and was pretty bumbed all weekend....I also put a tiny bit more of the sample on it and it showed up super fast positive. So I think we are going to be ok...I guess we shall see. But I feel like an awful wife for making him do that stupid thing anyways. Plus we have a lot of stress with house buying and all. So..I'm going to take a break from temping and charting and what not and try not to stress so much about it. I will still come on and chat and keep you guys updated, but as for testing and charting and all I think I'm taking a break

 

[lol2811]

I think that is a great idea and i wish I was strong enough to not do all the charting stuff but I am abit of a control freak. I def think a more relaxed approach is better (just wish I could take my own advice lol).

 

[DrGomps]

Charlotte, its hard not to be stressed during the ttc process. I hate it when people say relax, it will happen!! Its impossible to relax! I am trying not to be stressed now, but I am totally freaked out about the prospect of having another human life completely dependent on me! Excited, but freaked!

Jeepprincess...so it was a sperm test that had a faint positive or a fertility test (for you)? I took the FSH test on the cd 3 and got fertile. But we didn't conceive until clomid (I had tried for 5 months before I started clomid).

 

[lol2811]

Yep I hate that when people say relax, if it was as easy as that i'd be doing it. Ive been trying to think of things that would take my mind off of it as it is all i think about 24/7.

We are going away the weekend after next for a little break, I will be due to ovulate anywhere between that Tuesday and Saturday so I am hoping that going away will relax me a little, or at least enough to get that bean growing!

 

[jeepprincess]

It was the sperm test that had a faint positive...but he also couldn't give a huge sample bc he was kinda freaked out about it...I mean a faint is still a positive...but I just feel bad that I made him do that...

 

[lol2811]

You shouldnt feel bad, you are in this together and I am sure he is willing to do anything he can, just as you are, to make it happen.

 

[jeepprincess]

Yeah, he is....he was pretty down in the dumps all day...but I kept showing it to him like "see there is a line" see see see...hehe Which there was a line and it said in the package if there is a faint line or bright line that it could be considered positive. We will just keep trying for awhile and then if we have to look into seeing a dr. about it.

 

[lol2811]

A line is a line! So hopefully you wont need to go to the doctors, plus nerves/stress etc were bound to have an effect.

 

[jeepprincess]

Thanks dear

 

[lol2811]

Well we're all here to try and help each other. I know I have my days where I def need it!

 

[DrGomps]

I know nothing about sperm tests, but sounds like its positive. So DH should be happy...though bright positives are always the best.

I actually got really depressed/anxious during the whole TTC process. Doctor gave me lexapro..really helped I think. I have to stop now (not great to take during pregnancy). Not sure if lexapro helped at all to conceive, it did help with some of the anxiety/depression that comes with this nasty process.

 

[lol2811]

I am thinking if this cycle doesnt work I will go and have a chat with my doctor as I am getting very down and stressed about the whole process and it is making me quite unhappy, feel so sorry for DH, he has a lot to put up with with me.
