Early 30's TTC #1

[MrsPTTC]

Oh ladies, I hate myself for it but I'm feeling so sad after seeing my friends first scan pics today. I'm so happy for them, I really am, we were both trying at the same time but i started 2 months earlier. It's so hard and I feel like a right cow for being upset at their happiest time but I'm just so jealous & want a LO

What you're feeling is completely normal. Don't beat yourself up.

I'm feeling the same way about a particular friend "in real life".

I completely understand how you are feeling. My newly married sister-in-law just found out that she is pregnant. My husband and I have been trying for some time and I admit I cried when I heard the news. I am really so happy for them, as I know you are for your friend. It will happen for you too!

I'm at CD1 today and as I was sitting on the bus, feeling sorry for myself, a very pregnant woman sat beside me. By pregnant I mean she looked like she was about to deliver any minute! She then proceeded to put the seatbelt on and fell asleep. I almost laughed but realized how amusing this was and figured it's the universe trying to offer me a chance to have some real babydust rubbed off onto me. Of course I didn't really, purposely rub, maybe adjusted a little but yeh ... what are the chances?!!

 

[clandara]

Hi Crumbs...I like that..."babydust". Its funny how when you want something, it appears everywhere around you. I am on CD5 today. Fingers crossed for us all

 

[hakunamatata]

I went out to lunch w/ DH and shopping, always manage to see cute babies when we do.

Welcome, clandara! We have a great little group here. You'll like it.

Soleil!!!!! We miss you. I'm so so sorry to hear that you're struggling. I can not imagine how hard it must be to have a loss, but I feel for you. I just want to be pregnant, too! Our time will come. What did you miss...well, I'm starting IVF. Not happy that this is our only option, but it is what it is, and hopefully we'll have some good luck the first time!

MrsP, don't beat yourself up. We all feel like that. I know I have to see two of my close friends for a work thing next Wednesday, and they are both due in March. I'm DREADING seeing them. I'm not happy for them. I mean I am, but it's hard to be happy when they have the one thing that you want.

Crumbs, everywhere we look, we see preggos! It's maddening! I feel the same way. They're everywhere...like cockroaches. That was not nice...you know what I mean... I'm sorry it's cd1. It'll get better, this is always the worst day.

Afm, waiting. Still. Waiting for this, waiting for that. Meanwhile, I've been researching what I can do to increase the quality of my eggs. For starters, I'm done drinking. Oh well. I want a baby more than I want a glass of wine. And I'm eating a high protein diet, including protein shakes. I'm going to do decaf coffee and cut out soda. I don't usually drink a lot of diet coke during the school year anyway, so that'll be fine. Exercising while I can still do it, and trying very hard not to think about my friends who are preggo. Trying to keep busy at home before school starts. I'm actually looking forward to it...something I thought I'd never say! It'll give me something to do at any rate.

It's a rainy rainy day here... Perfect time to use a new emoticon!

 

[clandara]

Thank you to all for the warm welcome!

BFN on FRER this morning with FMU. But all is not lost yet as my temp is higher again this morning. So who knows??

Crumbs - sorry to hear you are CD1. I like the "babydust" moment.

Anyway I am off on a weekend away with DH today (its Friday morning here) so have a brilliant weekend everyone and hopefully AF will stay away!!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks for your support ladies feel better about it today, but trying to avoid any baby related fb updates lol. Crumbs I'm laughing at your preggo lady on the bus Mrsjmouse sorry about your BFN but your chart still looks amazing! x

Oh I've blocked like 50% of my friends. If they have a baby or are pregnant, I make sure to NOT see them.

Rosa have you not been caught out where they're like 'did you see my fb status the other day?' And you're like, Erm.... x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Yay I've got my next FS appointment though so I get to find out my blood results! x

 

[rosababy]

LOL! Not actually for pregnancy things, but there was one girl (kind of a colleague, but another school) where I blocked her because she annoyed me and then I saw her and she was clearly pregnant. I was like OH! I had no idea, but I'm SURE it was all over her fb page for months! Oops.

 

[MrsPTTC]

By blocking do you mean where you hide their updates from your news feed but stay friends with them? That's what I'm doing at the minute lol x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Sorry AF got you Crumbs, didn't quite register when you said you're on CD1 that the came! x

 

[rosababy]

Yes. I plan to unblock them when I get knocked up. And some people just annoy me, so they're blocked too. Why am I even ON fb?!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Lol, I know what you mean, I have a few hidden because I can't stand some of the stuff they drone on about or like the language they use! x

 

[rosababy]

Lol, I know what you mean, I have a few hidden because I can't stand some of the stuff they drone on about or like the language they use! x

Or because they post a status so often that every other one is theirs! Some days it's so bad that I'm like and you're blocked, you're blocked, i'm done with you, you, and you.

Hi girls... me the ghost again

Just wanted to give you this quick tip in case you didn't know... my mom, who knows my ttc struggles, has been talking to a lot of ppl at her hospital and she told me to take 1 glass of beet extract for 15 days on an empty stomach... it cleans your uterus and in case you have fibroids or anything preventing pregnancy.... I haven't tried it yet, will do soon... but wanted to let you know about it, it cant hurt to try it out!

kisses girls!!
