<3 <3 LOTS OF LOVE & BFPS <3 <3 February Testing Thread

[VJean]

Kayotic, don't apologize to us for being a downer....we all have those days and that's why we are here! Thru good and bad we are here to support each other. I'm sorry you are having a rough day. TTC just plain sucks. It never fails that the harder we try the more we hear/see everyone else around us getting pg. There are no words we can offer that will take away that hurt/longing....just know that we are here for you anytime you need to vent, and we truly understand what you are going thru!

 

[oldermom1975]

Sorry, that is lingo from one of my daughter's cartoons.
Donks= sucks
Donker= idiot (person who sucks)

Better than some other slang I could use....

My son has picked up.. some words from Roblox and Minecraft and I am left going.. wtf did he just say?

Ha, too funny! I know exactly what you mean, sometimes it is like a different language.

We survived the ice storm. I am so behind I am not even going to try and catch up and I'll just move on from here

I forgot to take my progesterone yesterday but my temps were still up so I am not really sure I even need it. IDK.
I am feeling really down right now - another group I am in, every single person I originally started out with (some for YEARS) have all moved on because theyve had a baby, are pregnant or adopted. Yet here I am, the only one left now and I today, I just can't handle the new girls right now, stressing out because they still aren't pregnant 2 whole months in.

I dont mean to be a downer - maybe its cabin fever but I have zero hope for this cycle and everytime I pee, I wish for blood so I can just move on. I know its irrational, and I will be over it tomorrow.

Good luck to those of you testing today!

Vent all you want, at some point most of us on this thread can relate to that feeling. I can go into mode if it helps you.

Oldermom-I wasn't trying to share your good news, or be all in your business, but you know I'm a , and I was thinking about Smiles and all the green on her chart, and then I noticed GREEN, and just typed before thinking that you might want to share first. Sorry. I hear you on being cautiously optimistic, but I WILL be excited for you either way. A BFP is something to celebrate, and something I hope to experience soon.

kfs1-I'll send a PM your way. You certainly won't be able to surprise us once you put that chart in your siggie. HA!!HA!!

 

[terripeachy]

Kayotic- Yeah, we've all been there, so no problem venting here. I was getting waxed yesterday and my waxer (do they have a name?) told me that the Olympic Russian hockey team goalie found out she was two months pregnant and had to quit the Olympics. Can you imagine? You try and try to get pregnant and it never happens, and then you find out you're going to the Olympics and end up pregnant and therefore have to bow out. Goalie is such an important position, I bet she's praying her team wins without her, but if they lose, I bet she would feel so sad, but still happy. So....long story short, there are always a story to be told regarding pregnancy/emotions/FB, so we just grin and bear it and deal with it the best we can.

HA! Ok..that story had nothing to do with what you wrote, but I just wanted to share that if it were me, I would be so torn emotionally.

Oh yeah and you're only 6DPO, so no more talking about wishing this cycle would end. NO MORE!!

Anyone that is interested, come to the Oldies but Goodies (from ttc to bfp to bump to baby) TTC Discussion Group. It's fun and all are welcome.

Kayotic, Just mirroring what the other ladies have said. Everybody has been there on those down days, I typically happen to notice it when I think I'm out for that month and PMS is kicking in. Those hormones can really be terrible for your mindset.

I've pretty much stayed away from the general TWW forums because it's mostly young girls (some who have no business getting pregnant with no stable relationship, no money, and some are just plain bat sh&@t crazy). It's more frustrating than anything.

Do you see there?! See how frustrating this journey can be and pissed off we can get out of the blue and at the drop of a dime?! Lol!

Oh, no problem- I thought it was funny! I actually wondered if anyone would notice....
It got me a few more hours to digest the news. I really am shocked....

 

[Blueshoney]

Oldermom-Congratulations!!! I understand being cautious but I am ecstatic for you!

Kayotic-I totally understand your frustration. Please vent away. We all know how you feel!

Katie-SOOOOO AGREE with you with those young girls in TWW! I have to prevent myself from posting "Honey, having a baby to have someone love you will not help your lack of self esteem! and no, a baby does not save a relationship!"

AFM-So I read that people were using opk's for pregnancy tests. So of course I POAS for science. It looked positive on the OPK and negative on the HCG test. So I guess negative for pregnancy right? Well I will know for sure in 4 days!

 

[Katie Potatie]

Wait a second, Blues....how positive was this opk? And what preg test are you using? This sounds happily suspicious!

And if I had a dime for every time I read of a girl thinking the baby would keep their man or strengthen their shizzy relationship, my husband could afford to stay home with me. These girls have nooo clue how strong your relationship has to be BEFORE the baby comes!

 

[Sis4Us]

Yes Blues how dark was the OPK???? U should get ++++ on a HPT b4 a OPK at least that's what I read!!

 

[Radkat]

Oldermom! OMG, so exciting! I mean *whispers* I'm super excited/hopeful/yay for you.

Kayotic - Vent away. It's why we're here.

Terri - I love your DH's statement about forgetting how to do it. That's something my DH would say. Silly men.

Blueshoney - Hmmmm... I got a BFN at 11DPO. You never know...

Sis - That's why I quit temping. I got a .2 lower temp and figured that's not helpful. No AF=still preggo.

Re: TWW forums... I went there. Once. Figured out pretty quick this place is not for me. Felt like I was back doing my high school girls' group. No, honey, he won't want to stay with you if you get pregnant. Yes, even if that's what he says now. Go get a hobby.

AFM - My doctor called this am and said my numbers were "good". I asked what they were and they said they don't give exact numbers until they have the second test to compare it to. Hmm, seems like my doctor has heard about anxious ladies and Dr. Google.

 

[Sis4Us]

^^^^^ Anxious Woman here!!!!

 

[Solstyce]

Hi Sis,

I just logged on and saw that you got your BFP finally.

I'm really happy for you. Congrats!

 

[Sis4Us]

Thanks so much Sols it's been a Rollercoaster and I'm not out of the woods yet but I'm Hopeful!!

 

[Blueshoney]

My OPK test line was equally dark as the control line. The HCG test was stark white. I shouldve taken a pic before I threw them away. doh!

 

[Driving280]

Ugh, worried that Wondfo does not get any darker. Sure, there is a line there, but it is still of the squinty kind, not the clear, nice BFP porn... Well, tomorrow is a FRER day... At least so far spotting has stopped entirely.

 

[terripeachy]

Don't worry Driving! Can't wait until tomorrow to see what the FRER has to say. fx fx

LMAO! I had to laugh at this! It was such a good description of some of the younger ones. Not all, I have to say that for sure, because I'm in with a good group of younger ladies in the TTC#1 forum. But some of the other threads, I open it up, get five words in, want to gag, and have to move on. You are too funny.

 

[ERosePW]

Oldermom, I said congrats on the other thread, but thought I'd say it here too since this is the actual testing thread. CONGRATS lady!! This one is gonna be sticky. Did you BOAS too, to see if came out pos?

Radkat, I had to laugh at your description of the TWW forums too. I was in the middle of taking a huge gulp of water, and almost sprayed my computer screen.

Kayotic, I am sorry you're feeling this way today. I know the feeling all too well, I'm sure we all do. Hugs. Some cycles are harder than others.

Blues, are you experimenting with OPKs during pregnancy testing? Love it. I have to say, after I got my faint BFP in Dec, I tried that, since I had heard you can get a pos OPK while prego, and my OPKs were pos. I have NO idea if it would've been pos before the HPT or not, because I didnt try it until several days after the faint BFP. But can't wait to hear your results!!!

Driving, yay for FRER tomorrow!! Can't wait!

UGH I know! A FB group I am, this one chick is always complaining about her husband being an alcoholic, etc - why in the hell would you bring a child into that on purpose? It blows my effing mind.

 

[Kayotic]

THANK YOU SO MUCH GIRLS.
I feel so much better. I took a chance and drove to the store, where it was super crowded. THEN the lady in front of me found $100 bill on the sidewalk. My luck, haha!

I stuffed my face with cookies and now all is well
