Early 30's TTC #1

[rosababy]

mrsmax, I can understand how frustrating that is, even though you're very happy with your dh. Good luck with the bd'ing!!

I'll come on as soon as the doc calls! I hope today...

mrsmax - After my MMC, I found out like 4 girls were pregnant - the first couple I actually welled up with tears when I heard, but by the last one I found I was not too upset - it's her turn now, mine will be soon enough.

So I know how you feel but try not to let it bug you too much.

Mrsmax- I too completely understand how you feel. In the last 10 days I have had 5 (FIVE!!) pregnancy announcement made to me. It is gut wrenching every time I have to admit. We just have to try to remain positive, which is a challenge I know. It WILL be us one day.

Rosa- I'm also waiting for a call from the doctor. Don't they know they're supposed to call in the morning so we don't have to fuss all day!?

 

[mrsmax]

Thanks everyone Facebook is the worst invention if trying ttc!!

^^^^^^

It's like a train wreck that you can't help but look at. You start getting a little bored at work....you tell yourself to do something else....before you know it you're scrolling down the update page on your phone.....baby picture...pregnancy announcement...baby comment...it's EVERYWHERE!!! It's like a drug that you can't quit!

I KNOW! It's terrible. I've blocked so many people because I'm so sick of seeing baby announcements. I don't even go on FB anymore.

Ladies, my doc called and my prog level was 19!! That means I definitely o'ed and that's a great number! Probably means I'm not preggo, but that's okay. I o'ed, and the clomid is working! Of course, I'm all excited and my sil (the midwife) said well that's okay but it doesn't mean you're pregnant. Thanks, Debbie Downer.

 

[SMFirst]

lol - that's great Rosa My DH always calls me Debbie Downer cuz I say stuff like that too :S

But it's just stupid stuff that falls out of our mouths, so don't pay too much attention to what your SIL says!

 

[rosababy]

Thanks, Susan. She does this all the time, and my dh is like STOP TALKING TO HER!! I'm like but she's a midwife and knows this kind of stuff! She's also very frank. Tells it like it is, rather than sugar coating it, which sometimes I appreciate, and other times I'm like just give me something to hold on to! A little hope, please!

Anyway, I'm not letting her ruin my good mood. I ovulated a good egg! I'm having some minor cramps right now...but I'm POSITIVE it's because of the clomid. That's one of the major side effects. I'm trying to have hope that it means something good, though.

Congrats Rosa. I'm glad you got good news.

I just want to pull my flipping hair out right now. I did not get a call from my doc, nor will I be at all this week. See my journal for more- gotta calm down right now...

 

[MsJMouse]

Great news Rosa. I get what you mean by sometimes liking your sil telling it straight. My mil is a bit like that and sometimes its nice but othertimes (especially when you are already a bit down) its hard to hear.

mrsmax, I know how you're feeling. It's hard to hear about all the baby news without feeling a little hurt! Within the last month, I've heard of 5 new pregnancies -- that's not including the women in my language class that are already pregnant, including ALL of them there are exactly:

• 3 friends on Facebook between the ages 34 - 35 years old
• 5 yes, five pregnant women that are in my language course! (most of them are in their 20's but one is 34). We started the class with one pregnant girl (in her early 20's) Then a new girl joined us already a few months pregnant (late 20's). Then two newly announced, unplanned pregnancies (29 and 34 years old) and then another girl just recently joined the class already pregnant as well (late 20's).

At this point, all I can hope is that they rub off on me!

 

[Crumbs]

Rosa, congratulations on O'ing! Don't let her get to you! It's nice to be able to celebrate the milestones! Babysteps ... lead to a baby

 

[mrsmax]

Rosa - yay!!! That is fantastic news!!

You deserve some good news.

Thanks everyone else for listening to my FB gripe - feel a little better today, especially knowing you guys all experience the same thing.

Am treating myself to a second cup of coffee - sinc Jan I have only been allowing myself one cup a day cause of ttc - but I feel like throwing caution to the wind.

Nearly the weekend here in the UK - off to work

Have a good Friday everyone xx

Hopeful - hope the doc calls today. Fingers crossed for you

Crumbs- 5 pregnancies in one class!!! You need to start sitting on their chairs! About 6 people from work have had kids in the last few months - alll baby girls. I def need to sit in their seats - must be something in the air!!

That's what she said!

That's a lot of knocked up girls...I'm sorry. That's so hard to be around, I understand.

Rosa, congratulations on O'ing! Don't let her get to you! It's nice to be able to celebrate the milestones! Babysteps ... lead to a baby

Thanks, Crumbs. I'm choosing to be happy and to ignore my sil from now on.

Rosa - yay!!! That is fantastic news!!

Thanks, mrsmax! LOL on throwing caution to the wind with another cup of java!! You rebel!

Hopeful, any news from the doc yet?? I would be TICKED. I would march my butt into their office and be like GIVE ME MY RESULTS! I hope they call today for you.

 

[SMFirst]

Rosa - Nice one! I always miss out on saying "That's what she/he said" - I think of it too late

Crumbs - that's crazy to be surrounded by pregos. It will be your turn soon! With all my friends getting pregnant around now, I started thinking I was the good luck charm!

mrsmax -well I guess you've started your weekend now (I am always just starting my day when you Brits are finishing...) - enjoy your coffee!! I frequently cave and get Venti Soy Chai Lattes from Starbucks... mmmm... gonna get one today!!

PS - I used to always think the saying was "Throwing Cosh into the Wind" and I was like what's cosh? But now every time I see or hear it I still think of it that way

Thanks! Gotta love those that's what she said jokes.

OMG....throwing COSH into the wind!!!! I literally laughed out loud at that! How funny! Who is cosh?!

 

[MsJMouse]

Feeling very impatient today. Just wish AF would arrive already so I can start CD1. Just took a test to make sure I was still BFN and it was. So now if would arrive I would be happy. Been having cramping on and off for the past three days.

How is everyone else??

 

[MsJMouse]

My party is this coming Saturday. I'm so excited! We're catering from Famous Daves (really great bbq place), and having a game night. All my besties are coming!! Regarding the 2 year old...I chickened out. I just know she won't get a babysitter, which means she won't come. And she's such a good friend of mine, that I would rather have her come with the boy than not at all. Next time, I'll be up front about it right away, but I felt like because I already opened my fat mouth and said he could come...I felt bad changing my mind. But I do have lots of former students that she can use as babysitters, so that's a good idea to suggest one for her.

How'd the party go Rosababy?? Actually it is probably still in progress for you. It is Sunday here already.
