6 DPO...& ...POAS until positive!

[barbikins]

Nat, yay for Roary!!! So exciting! But do be prepared to feel exhausted & not sleep for a few nights. Oh boy - Chloe did my head in the first week. I was exhausted & irritable & questioned whether having a dog was the right thing. But we're all good & happy now LOL

Natalie, I'm sorry you puked! Damn...guess that MS is setting in.
There are prescription meds for MS if it gets bad! Also try Vitamin B6, that's one of the active ingredients in MS meds.

Meg, I hope you O soon. Although don't be hard on yourself if you don't. Some times it takes after the first real period to Ovulate again. The bleeding you just had was not like your period. So your system's going to be a bit wonky. MOst woman report Ovulating two weeks after the MC. But I'm not sure when they started counting. Anyway, just don't be hard on yourself OK? Don't get frustrated if you don't get a positive OPK this month. But I hope you do.
I'm going to email you ladies back today. I have some thoughts for you on my own experiences with DH.

well i'm not so sure how much time has flown for me.
but when i think about when i got my diagnosis, that was over 1 month ago.
life's been busy & w/o tracking my cycles & shit life has gone on.
I dont even know what CD I am today! And I don't really care!!!

I just really hope that all this will not be in vain. It's been such an uphill battle and I want the battle to be over. I don't want to have to move on with my life, I am hoping IVF will bring us a baby. But, who knows?

I know Barb.. I am not going to tell you anything is for sure, because it isn't. And honestly It really upsets me when people tell me- oh don't worry its going to happen really soon, or everything happens for a reason, because I don't believe any of that is true, and (I don't mean to offend anyone!) the best thing you can say is that you are hopeful and wish for the best, and positive messages like that, because there are no guarantees. But, what we do know, is that IVF has great statistics so lets rest our heads on that best we can and think positive. I am really hopeful for you Barbs, and I am here no matter what happens. xo

UGH you have no idea how many people including doctors told us not to worry because we are one of those couples where it just will work. Because I was pregnant before. But what's happened in the past - this doesn't dictate our future. And everyone's been proven really wrong. Right now I can't get pregnant unless I do IVF. So how's that for some reality to all those people who were so super optimistic at how I had nothing to worry about? When I have everything to worry about now. Anyway it's OK, there's nothing wrong with everyone trying to keep positive for me & encourage me but realistically, the universe owes me nothing. It doesn't even mean that IVF will work. And maybe we'll run out of money before we can see that reality happen. But I just have to hope not. That's all I have. Hope.
You're right, IVF has the BEST odds. Better than natural BD so if I'm going to get pregnant, I will get pregnant through IVF. And if that doesn't work, then perhaps there's some thing even more wrong with us that we can't fix with science. Or at least, not where affordability is concerned.
So, thank you Meg. I have a feeling you're feeling the way I do about all the positive messages & being told how it's going to happen.
After a while, you just have a hard time seeing it. And reality is - it may or it may not. Our bodies will be the ones who decide on this fate!

And thank you to everyone who's ever encouraged me & have said it will happen. Because there were lots of times when I needed to hear that. It's such an up & down roller coaster ride, ist it?!

Very well said Barb - I Couldn't agree more with everything you have said. I am thankful for the positivity too, Its just my own frustrations that come through some times. I am very grateful, I just hope its all for something

Thanks Barb - I will try... I do hope it happens but I know its not in my control. I will be at the two week mark on Sunday so may be a few days yet before I see any changes... my test today is the same as yesterdays so far - I would call it a 5 or 6/10...maybe it will stay like this for a few days before it darkens, only time will tell.

Meg, sounds like a good weekend again

Nat, you're on a roll! Take it easy, while you're at it OK?
Don't push yourself too hard.
BTW with a Pug, you shouldn't have too much hair issues. Short hair is easier to deal with. But what an exciting day tomorrow!!! WHOOO!!!

You're like super woman. Honestly. But you know, if I wasn't working - Id be at home making everything perfect too

 

[natjenson]

[OurLilFlu]

Nat! I thought you were taking it easy! You're a busy woman! But I'm super excited for you to get your pup!

Yay tww for some of you soon! I laughed re: the comment about meg and Nat being in the same tww! That's the ticket!

Barb and Meg, totally understandable to have those thoughts about people's positivity but I know you guys take it all in pretty level headed but I'm sure it's irritating to hear it over and over. There are no guarantees in life, that's for sure.

We're hopefully installing the kitchen this weekend!! If not then next! Just not sure when if our friend is coming this weekend or next to help! Ill try to get some piccys!

99 days left for me!
