Early 30's TTC #1

[Soleil Breeze]

The tragedy, Rosa! You couldn't possibly have O'ed!

I'm kidding!

A .1 isn't a big deal. Temps fluctuate a little bit even post-O. As long as they're above you're cover-line, you're straight, girl. Put the big guns away and relax. Cause guess what? Stressing out ain't gonna help no bean implant if it's on its way down. And it's not going to make your doctor's appointment come any quicker.

Ok; enough preaching. Sorry.

What else? Yeah, uh, I so badly want a child of my own I cut myself bangs today. They're awful. I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry. So I laughed and DH convinced me to go the hairdresser (Again! Just went last week for the regular cut!). I don't know what got into me. Cutting my own hair like I'm 3 or something!

Anyway, CD 14; neg. OPK; temp at 97.5. Fingers crossed I ovulate before I leave on Weds. I REALLY want to try the pre-seed. I'm feeling lucky this month.
Have a great weekend, ladies!

now I'm done. I'll bd every other day and let clomid and God take care of the rest! It's not worth my stress.

Missed that one - so amen again, I say!

 

[rosababy]

Soleil, You crack me up!!! Thanks for the reassuring words. And yes, I'm done because I"m stressing. And I know stressing is bad, so then I stress about how I'm stressing! Oh well...

Here's a question: I'm having a birthday party next week (no matter how I write that, it sounds like I'm 5 years old!) and my good friend asked if she could bring her 2 year old. I said yes, because I shy away from confrontation and lost my nerve. I knew she was going to ask, and I panicked. She's coming over tonight and I'd really like to say, actually...I'd like it to be an adult only thing. How do I say it without being rude and make her mad???

It's a game night, so it's not like we're just sitting around chatting. I don't want my guests to "watch what they say" because there's a kid there! (I'm really trying not to be rude...I wanted to ask in a thread that is ttc#1 just so I didn't tick anyone off.)

Birthday party- that's cute

I think that saying it you would prefer it to be only an adult only party should be understandable enough.. She shouldn't be mad it's your event..

(We did the same for our wedding even though several of our friends and family had children that they would have otherwise brought along - but I did not want kids there so I stood my ground and was happy for it)

 

[rosababy]

Oh we totally were up front about our wedding. People brought their kids to the ceremony, but were nice enough to sit in the "cry section" behind the glass. They didn't come to the reception. Somehow this is different, because it's "just a party" but it's MY party. (and I'll cry if I want to)

I wish there were "cry sections behind glass" everywhere

Maybe there's a way that you could make her think it would be a better idea to not bring her kid.. like talk about how rowdy it might get and people swearing and yelling and drinking hehe

 

[rosababy]

Cry glasses everywhere! YES! That's a brilliant idea!

I could try that, but she knows our parties aren't rowdy, beer bongs down the stairs, smoking up kind of parties...we will be loud, though. She's be like oh he'll be fine! I'm just going to be honest. I love her, and I really don't want to offend, but I'd rather it be adult only. I hope she doesn't get mad.

Ladies, I think I'm out this month! DH has been sleeping for 12 hrs now. Poor thing must have been more exhausted than I thought. He came back from a business trip on Tues tired, sick and jetlagged. He did manage to get up every morning since then. I shouldn't be complaining but it's the most EWCM I've noticed in a while and I woke-up early this morning to apply some Pre-Seed. That was 2 hours ago and he's still sleeping.

There's always next month

I have to say: I'm not out yet! Hubby agreed to the turkey baster method (well, sans baster) after some explaining. I've read that couples with young children use this method since it's impossible to find time otherwise. Gay couples use it as well since it's the DIY alternative to clinical insemination. I figured why not! He's still recovering from sickness and has gotten really tired easily. I couldn't just give up after all this EWCM!

TMI alert: I fumbled at it but hopefully managed to get a little up there! I ended up using a Pre-Seed applicator since that's all I had I got a little temp spike this morning, so maybe it was a good idea afterall! Here's a link on it.

This is something I could never confess to anyone else, so glad to have you girls around to share stuff like this with!

Hi Ladies. I'm new to this site. I've been TTC since Dec. Am 27 this year and DH is 32 later on in the yr. CAROLINE I feel your pain, it does get very frustrating every month when AF shows up. So yes I know how you feel, the only thing I take comfort in is that it takes the average couple approx 1 yr to get that BFP.
ARIANNE: If the Sperm count is lower, your better to get DH to abstain from BD untill your most fertile period, as when you do it on a regular basis the potency of sperm decreases.

AF showed up yesterday for me, so now the waiting game for O...bestof luck for a Dec baby girls Fingers Xd

Congrats Finally!!!!

Crumbs - that is hysterical!!! How did you convince dh to do that??? Brilliant - and what a story to tell the grandkids if you conceive this month

Have just read all the posts from the weekend - lots of things going on!! Rosababy - sounds like letting go a bit would be positive thing for you. I am only on my 3rd month temping so still trying to learn my patterns. Once I've identfied a pattern I plan to stop.

Congrats - good luck Finally Bring on the BFPs
