BB, your gift idea is adorable. I get how you feel about people telling you you're young, be patient, it will happen, blah blah blah.. when all you really need/want is a BFP to help heal your broken heart. I will say that maybe your body needs a bit of time to heal. I had a C-section, and here I was, trying to get pregnant 5 weeks later. My body definitely needed time to heal. Hubby did what I wanted to appease me, but really, he wanted my body to have some time to heal, too. He actually wanted to wait until like October because he wanted things to heal. He didn't want to tell me that because he knew that TTC is something that needs to happen to heal my heart and mind.. so he tried for me, but I'm sure his whole heart wasn't in it like it is now. Maybe your hubby feels the same? And I would be frustrated if it was during go time, too, but maybe there's a reason?? As far as having a baby during October/November/December.. I would imagine you'd find a way to manage. Some of the other girls had good ideas. What about joint birthday parties? I mean if you'd had twins, you would've had to figure it out.. that's what mama's do, right?
Maybe actually BUY the gifts, party supplies, etc when you've got the extra $$? I'd hate to see you have to take a break because you don't want another birthday in the same time frame because I know you, as the rest of us, really want your rainbow. God has a plan for all of us. Sometimes it's hard to see it. Sometimes it's hard to follow the path he has laid before us.. we all stumble and fall. The important part is to get back up and keep walking. Even if we have to crawl every now and again. Every day is a day closer to our BFP and whatever God has in store for us. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you; I only know how to difficult it is for me. I hope you get your rainbow BFP soon. In the meantime, try to enjoy life as much as possible. Enjoy your little man, your hubby, family, etc.
That's what I'm trying to do. Some days are easier than others. We're all here for you.
Katrina, gotcha. FX you guys get a BFP before you have to go looking for answers. I've used softcups, but not religiously. Like if we're hopping out of bed right after, then I do, but if I'm going to sleep, I don't always. Obviously, they haven't worked for me yet, BUT I also have to ovulation problem. Lots of the girls here have used them. FX they do the trick for you!!
STG, are you going to get your paperwork Do you work night shift? I was a little confused about your post about staying up until 4 PM and 11 PM.
Morgan, I'm so glad you're not bleeding anymore! You hadn't mentioned it so I wondered. I'm glad you get ultrasounds so often! I had 21 ultrasounds when I was pregnant with our little guy.. for reassurance a few times early on, then one a month at 20 weeks til 32 weeks and 1-2 a week from 32 - 39 to make sure he was growing okay since I have high blood pressure, and they considered me high risk. (Ha, ironic right? No problems.. not a one..)I'm more thankful than I ever thought I'd be for those ultrasounds watching him and hearing his heart beat, for the pictures and DVD's they gave me because that's the only way I got to see him alive. Hope you and Miss Marley are doing well.
AFM, got some snow last night. I'm hoping to stay home in my sweatpants and drink coffee in my chair with my dog and my blanket all day and make chili and watch Christmas movies with my better half.. but we'll see what the day brings. I think we're going to a night-time Christmas parade tonight. Putting together hubby's Christmas gifts for work. Writing out Christmas cards. My mom is supposed to come over and bake today or tomorrow.. just depends how the roads are since we live in the absolute middle of nowhere and are seriously like the last ones plowed out. No real complaints about the clomid.. had a serious hot flash yesterday but that's about it. I'm almost done with it. One more day. I get so nervous about forgetting to take them. It's crazy. I would be thrilled if it moved O up another day or two.. but I'm still not holding my breath.
