Thank you for that information! I took a Xanax this evening...it doesn't seem to be helping much. I have been feeling panicky and crying off and on all day. I go to the psychologist on Tuesday so I will discuss it with her. I usually go every month but maybe I should make it more frequent right now. I see the psychiatrist the first week of Feb.
My mom is on anti-depressant and anti-anxiety meds so I've seen how debilitating these symptoms can be. If you need to be on them for your health then that's that. No different than any other illness requiring meds.
I'm proud of you getting that far! lol! I usually start testing at 9 DPO
AFM: CD46, got a considerable temp spike today. I'm hoping that means O finally. I did drink last night though so it's hard to say just yet. Hopefully it's still climbing tomorrow to verify. But, I also noticed my CM is drying up. So, still thinking it might actually be O this time.
Now we get to sit and wait with you!
I am so obsessed with everything baby as well! I want a baby!!!! My husband wants a baby but I can tell he's holding back and trying not to get too excited after the miscarriage I had on my first cycle. I also have PCOS and have been told it might take some time. I have started exercising and trying to eat healthier!

I didn't even tell her about the temping and OPKs! I reassured her it was driving me crazy I couldn't exactly pick when to get pregnant.
MgreenM, I don't really have any advice either but just want to say good luck with everything! Do what you need to do!
So today I was chatting on the phone with a friend. She and I worked together for a while a few years ago and I always called her my work mom. She has kids just a little older than me and would lecture me for not eating lunch, etc. I decided to tell her that we were going to start TTC this cycle since I haven't told anyone in real life and I've been dying to tell someone! She seemed like a good choice since she's always been so supportive of me, we don't talk too often where I would feel pressure if it doesn't happen quickly, and she doesn't have much of a personal stake in the entire thing.
Anyhow, of course she was very excited for us and I got just the response I was looking for. So I was explaining my whole plan about which cycles I'd be trying and taking a break so as not to be due around Xmas and which months and all of it. She just started laughing so hard. She told me that having watched me plan 2 out-of-state moves and my wedding that she is not at all surprised how I am with this
She knows me too well. I've never met a situation I didn't try to over-plan!

Thank you again for all of your support! Well, much like last month, it's like a switch flipped...one little thing happens and then I feel back to my regular self! So weird! The good news, I got offered the job I interviewed for on Thursday! It is a slight pay cut, but I think the opportunity is worth it. Also, Hailey (the new dog) did great sleeping in our room last night and while we were out today! I feel so much better! I did call and leave a message for my doctor to discuss what has been going on so that we can figure out what the best plan is for me.
