There is just something about Mondays. I’m convinced of it. Lots of emotions with everyone today. Wish we could all get together in person and have a group hug. I know, I’m kind of a hippie, being here in San Francisco!
Lucy, I’m with the other girls. You are bound to be nervous. And you need to remember that those numbers mean very little. What is important is how they are rising. Even then, I’ve seen women go on to have perfect pregnancies even though their numbers weren’t doubling perfectly. How many dpo are you? Don’t forget Vicky’s low numbers. Truly, you are in the range of normal with your numbers. What will be will be and as Allie said, at this point all you can do is hope for the best.
Megg, your mother is probably having a hard time seeing you so anxious and upset. Some people can’t tolerate their loved ones being in a bad place. Instead of just listening and understanding, she got snippy with you. It’s probably her way of coping with the anxiety she’s having about this. Ok that’s my therapist take. My non-therapist take is that it just sucks when you need someone to be supportive and they say all the wrong things. Of all the people, your mom should be the one who is helping you get through this. How crappy that she said that to you!
Allie, what’s the next step with your doctor? Is there any way of looking into a Clomid/Femara option? If you are Ov’ing late, your LP could be affected in the first part of your cycle, not the LP part. Maybe soy isn’t strong enough to be making a difference. I don’t know. I just want you to get your cycle sorted.
I know what you mean about doing things that are slightly “wacko” as you say. It comes with the territory. We all decided we were on the crazy train months ago. It is certainly an interesting ride. Not sure it’s one I would ever pay a ticket to get on!
Speaking of crazy train, my OPK is almost positive this morning. Definitely darker than yesterday. I’m getting nervous I’m going to get my peak tomorrow. I can’t believe I’m now hoping to Ov later! I’m only on CD11. I’m not ready to OV yet! My cervix is softer and more open today too. We will skip tonight for sure in case I get the peak tomorrow. If I get the peak tomorrow, I’m going to jump on my man. Luckily he’s working from home on Wednesday because we’re getting our new dryer installed. That will hopefully take some of the work week pressure off of him because he can sleep in on Wednesday. FX’d
Liz, I’ve had numerous tense moments with Tim about TTC. I’ve gotten to a point where I just don’t talk about it with him until after I’ve Ov’d. We’ve made a pact that we will BD every other day once AF is over until I say we can stop. That helps keep the pressure off of him and it is something he’s agreed to ahead of time. So, every other day, I ask him if I can pour us a glass of wine. Wine = business time! For some reason, if we start it with a glass of wine and no reminders that we are ttc, he performs like a champ! Sexy lingerie doesn’t hurt either. I’m heading to Victoria’s Secret today to get some new stuff for Christmas!
Wow, I just wrote a novella.
