Could use a buddy

[lxb]

Ooo.. OT... I'm off to getting haircut after work today since Aug 29 is a good day! Good day = good haircut??

 

[SleepyOwl]

Haribo - Hoping you get good news about those interviews! As for the ninja BD, I turn on a bunch of fans (like the bathroom fan, a standing fan, the fan in the bathroom hallway) and then make it happen. You gotta do what you gotta do girlfriend!! Make it work! Lol!!

I'm going to try to keep up with this thread now - I've fallen severely behind these past few days. Work has picked up a bit, and I just found out I have to travel to upstate NY for a trial in early October. Sadly that's the weekend I'm projected to ovulate! JUST KILL ME! Like what are the odds? OH said he would try to use our frequent flyer miles to get up there that weekend -LOL!

 

[SleepyOwl]

We are all chat happy fools posting at the same time!

Lxb - I am loving that MIL-less ticker of yours!!! Hahahaha!

 

[lxb]

Ooo.. sleepy! Hope your OH is able to meet with you that weekend!! I know a ttc buddy (now 14-weeks preggo) was in the same situation! and she was able to sneak in some bd on the away weekend!! Ooo.. I smell bfp from those BDs!!

lxb--- One day his parent were at the store and we were home alone. Well we took a shower, and got it on Well when we walked out of the bathroom, his parents, SIL, nephew, and his grandmother were sitting at the table talking. Suddenly it got really quiet Talk about HORRIFYING!!!... Yaaayyyy for a haircut, I totally need one LOL

Sleepy--- Hopefully OH will make it right on time!!! Long distance Booty call

Great news Sleepy-we really are mirroring each other at the moment-my fertility specialist appointment is on the 21st and that will be mid my cycle too!

Sashimi, I read a parenting book called 'French children don't throw food' when I was in France that weekend and the couple basically get it on and conceive twins when he's away for a work weekend in Belgium so who knows?! I suppose there is a certain film quality to meeting up in another city just to get it on!

Well thanks for the advice ladies! I will take them on board! To be honest, some of the people staying know about our issues so even if they hear, they'll probably be silently cheering us on-now that's a weird thought!

In relation to positivity, I've decided to try and put aside negative thoughts for 2 weeks-I am watching the Paralympic opening ceremony and feeling very inspired by the amazing disabled athletes-they all work so hard and are so positive against the difficult hand that life has dealt for them. They are making my self absorption seem a bit pathetic. Positivity and being more outward rather than inward looking. Well why not?!

[SleepyOwl]

Haribo - we are appointment twins. I'm obsessed with being any kind of buddy/twin with everyone on this site lol!!

Feels like I have missed so much on here today!! I am LOLing at the silent sex. We realized last Christmas that from the room BIL and SIL stay in you can hear every creak and groan of our bed in the room we stay in at PIL's house!! And they are very modest and uptight about sex. Oops!

Sashimi you are PUPO!! We looked at an apt today and the lady who owns it has three children through IVF!

Haribo how are you feeling about the interview now??

Sleepy I'm so glad you're getting answers and that you are with a doc who takes you seriously! AND that you'll get some insurance help with fertility.

Afm, long and frustrating day at work and I can't wait for the long weekend! We are going to the cabin my PIL recently bought. I am not supposed to go above 10,000 feet and this one is at 9,700 so I am under orders not to exert myself while there (fine with me!).

Anyone else have weekend plans? So bummed it's not Friday yet.

 

[lauren26]

Holy cow there is a whole page I missed! Haribo, that sounds so inspiring and sweet!! I missed why you'll be having a BD audience--company coming? I'd say people won't be trying to hear and you will probably be ok, but like you said maybe they'll be cheering you on!!

lxb - Oooo I love a haircut! I love my hairdresser! I want more nail pics, too

Sleepy - That sounds totally romantic! Work whisking you away and OH having to come sneak a BD . You never know--the new place and new 'style' could be the ticket!

Pino - I am LOLing at your situations!! I am sorry--I've totally been there. My first time was in high school one night when my BF's parents were away. Apparently the next morning his dog, a big chow, had sniffed out the condom wrapped a million times in toilet paper in the bathroom trash and delivered it to the bedspread covering my BF's sleeping parents!! They instantly found out because his sister was a wait-until-marriage gal. Soooo embarrassing.

I cannot believe that another hurricane is hitting New Orleans! Found this link on FB https://hint.fm/wind/ for a wind map.

 

[SashimiMimi]

I've woken up in a complete panic today! I have no idea how I am going to get through this TWW! I keep wondering how that little egg is doing, if it's still in there. I think I'm more upset to hear about my poor egg quality than I realized. Sigh!!

 

[lxb]

haribo - that's a great positivity outlook! sometime we are so stuck in the present and blinded by our wants.. and often overlook at the positive things around us. with the mc... dh kept emphasizing to me that this is not the worst that can happened to us and that the important thing is that we have each other. I often said my MIL kept looking at each situation as in "why don't I have that".. or "why does that happen to me?" and instead... she should look at why things are the way it is and what she can do to change it instead of feeling like she's the victim. I admit... it's so hard to "see" yourself.

lauren - oo that hurricane does NOT look good!!! @ the incident at your bf's parents house! I think I would dig a hole and stuck my head in it if that happened to me~~ and YES... I got a haircut!!! From a new stylist~ and LOVING it~!!! too often people dont know how to cut my hair as it's so thick and i have a LOT of hair!

sashimi - keep busy~~ plan something for the weekend to occupy your mind~ I bet the egg is making itself at home as it shall be its home for the next 9 months~~~

 

[lauren26]

Sashimi, That egg is nesting right in! I know the TWW is torture, but hopefully the long weekend will allow you to fully relax and do something fun and distracting. It is Labor Day for us, too .

lxb, Did you cut it short?? I love haircuts!! I went to NOLA a few months after Katrina and it's strange that the only time I've been back was right before Isaac! There are pictures on weather.com of places we just saw and I remember thinking that these towns had recovered really well in the 6 or 7 years since I'd first seen them. Now they are getting hit all over again! So sad!

Afm, Awful MS this morning. I didn't eat enough last night and I am paying for it.

 

[SashimiMimi]

Ughh!! Why did I think that it is Memorial Day in the States this weekend!? I totally know that is in May?? It's a week after our May long-weekend which is called Victoria Day.

I'm trying to distract myself with working at home today, but I keep feeling really tight chested and anxious. I hope it passes I that I can just accept that what ever will be will be.

Lxb, wise words. It's something I have to constantly remind myself about... that I need to have gratitude for everything I do have in my life.

 

[SashimiMimi]

Crazy ladies this is a sonogram pic they took of the embryo inside my uterus.

 

[countrygirl86]

haribo - you'll have to let us know how it goes BDing with company!

Sleepy - sounds like a lot of good came from your appointment! It's gotta feel great having a plan, but I'm sure it's hard hearing another month before proceeding. How are you feeling about your 30th birthday? I only ask because a lot of my friends have said it's devastating but I don't think it'll bother me that much. I'm a September baby too what day is your birthday? Where will you be in upstate NY? That's not far from me! Hopefully you can get DH to meet you up there

Pino - lol see you have great ideas!

Sashimi - I'm glad you'll be on here more so we can help you through the tww! We were missing you! It'll be a tough wait but probably the best thing you can do is try to stay busy. Could you plan a trip away next weekend to keep your mind on something else? That's a really neat picture, awesome that you get to have something like that for your baby

lauren - so strange to hear you talk about being that high up! I've read a bit about not going to high elevations. I think we are pretty much at sea level lol Sounds like a great weekend though! We're having my birthday dinner Sunday at my mom's and I picked to have a homemade turkey dinner with all the trimmings lol good thing we have Monday off to rest from the big meal! LOL @ your BFs dog! Those things have amazing noses, if only they put them to good and not ratting us out! Mine gets chocolate wrappers from DH out of the garbage for me to see lol

lxb - you have such inspiring insight I love watching your countdown get smaller and smaller!

 

[lxb]

lauren - Yep~ I took a picture of my hair "sitting" on my lap! I guess it was time for a haircut! the hairstylist cut off ~16 inches as I said I want to make sure it is long enough for donation! One of the lady there thought I was kidding (she thought I was going in for a trim). She spoke a different language saying she thinks i'm crazy for cutting off my long/beautiful hair~ I took that as a compliment!! Hair is still not too short... I didn't want to go too short that I need to go in once every month for maintanance~ I also read about high elevation. How long will you be there? Just remember to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated at all time! (pay attention to where the restrooms are! ).

sashimi - LOVE your baby's very first u/s pic~ there are only more to come! :wave: embryo!

country - it seems to be the ticker is not moving at all! Last time I check was still 1w4d!

 

[Pino6161]

Lauren--- I am the same way about missing pages!! I can not be on here for an hour and miss a couple pages I LOLed at your condom situation Me and OH rarely used condoms But one time we were in the car and on one of the condom packages, it was not a complete square there was a strip of a separate wrapper. Well My OCD self tore that piece off and forgot about it, we ended up not even using a condom… Well let’s just say that piece is how my mom found out I was having sex …Holy crap! That wind map is crazy!!!

Sash--- Try to relax. Look at it this way, yes, you have poor quality, but it’s better than no quality. As the other’s said stay busy, of do what I do. Symptom spot, Google search and become obsessed w/ BnB JK. Everything will be fine It is so great they gave you a pic of your egg!! Soon it will grow sprouts called arms and legs!!

Country--- It still shocks me every time I see your signature and it is 17 weeks. It really feels like just yesterday!

Lxb--- I try to get my hair cut every time AF shows. My OH seems to think it is bad luck to cut/dye your hair if you are preggo, so I only do it during AF just to be sure!!

Sleepy--- Where are you in your cycle???

Haribo--- I love watching the Paralympics! They are an inspiration, and very humbling.

I hope I covered everyone and everything!!!

So sleep has still been kinda evasive, but I drank a tea and instead of staying awake for 4 hours laying in bed, I only did it for an hour and a half I think I ovulated but I had a tiny little dip so I didn’t get crosshairs, but I am sure I ovulated. Me and OH covered all bases, but honestly as each month goes by I lose hope more and more. I feel more as if I am going through the paces……

 

[SashimiMimi]

Lxb - Amazing! You could save someone's life with that hair donation. You always continue to amaze me with your positivity and generosity toward others! Xoxo

Country - Yum! Turkey birthday dinner sounds great. I know it's still so hot out, and that is a cold weather meal, but I'm so ready for fall and fall cooking. I always feel so tired in late August and am ready for the crisp weather! The pizza place we went to was great and if you ever take a trip to Toronto, we will definitely go there!!

Thank you everyone else for picturing my eggie growing arms and legs!!! It's such a helpless feeling having such a lack of control over this whole process.

 

[treasured]

Gosh ive missed so much just not being on for a day haha! Just letting you know im thinking of you all and will post a long one tomorow hope everyone's okay! Xxx
