[JennyBLove]

i apologize in advance for all the posts - i need to talk....
got a text from best friend "dr confirmed pregnancy! baby due in april!" then another one saying "you and OH need to get busy so we can have babies together!" - so i wrote back "it's not for lack of trying" - but i wanted to write: i know that you are trying to be lighthearted and encouraging, but really, you know we're trying and your comment is a bit insensitive. oh yea, and a reminder that you did what so far i have not been able to do.

Hey i soooo understand how your feeling! It sucks seeing everyone around you falling pregnant. Especially the ones that arent even trying lol. how long have you been trying? i'm new here so not sure what i doing yet lol. But yeah she is not being very light about your feelings, i mean wouldnt we all love to just fall preg same time our friends do but it doesnt always happen like that lol. she needs to understand how stressful it can be.

oooooh my wonderful ladies i just want to give you both great big

mama, i'm really sorry about the neg. Don't give up huni, sometimes in the months that you have no symps turn out to be the best.

hw, just vent, vent, vent, and i totally agree hun it was a bit insensitive of her to say that to you. Just try to hold on huni, don't let all of it get ya. I know its hard, trust me i'm going throughout the day today with a little low then i'm like, 'no i will not go down that road!!! Here anytime huni, always

hey taylor and sni, must be hard trying to ignore false symps but i know you girls are strong and like i said before its nice you both have each other to compare stuff

howz things for you bray, howd'it go today?

shobbs whats happen girl, where you at?

oh and welcome to our new ladies

update: BLOODY NOTHING

 

[TaylorDF]

Just to throw this out there - I think you ladies should utilize this outlet as a little venting outlet!! Sometimes ridiculously fertile friends, doting relatives, and dear husbands just can't quite understand. I'm, personally, more than happy to listen and delve into any venting you got. We need to!



And yes. Ignoring "symptoms" is as easy as ignoring a roach on a wall. (I don't have roaches) hahaha

 

[laustiredttc]

hey taylor trust me girlie there has been ALOT of us girls venting here beforehand lol

But yeah sometimes its good to get all the crap off ya chest, let it all out.
i still have to scream into my pillow everynow and again, just for a physical release.
I suppose bd is a physical release but don't want to be having a 360 degree exorcist moment halve way through it, scare the sh&* out of dh and his little foot soldiers.

Listen to me rambling on AGAIN, i need gagging!!!!

wanttobemum-- A trigger shot is something they can give you to make you ovulate. In my case, I took Pregnyl which is the HCG hormone (the same that HPTs test for, so you can see the issue with testing before it's out of the system).

Mama and HW-- hugs!! I have to say, I actually think it's good for all of us to hear the venting-- it helps us feel normal! I'm so sorry you are going through this. This is seriously one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. BUT it will all be worth it someday. Whenever I get to hold my little one, however they get to me, I know I will just think that I would do it all again to have them in my life.

Welcome newbies! and to all!

 

[HWPG]

love this thread; love the support; love having a place to let it all out. thank you!
on a ttc note - yesterday's ewcm does not compare to todays - holy handful! And yes, i *do* want to leave work early to dtd; what's wrong with that? hahaha! here's a question, though: if we dtd last night, and supposed to tomorrow (SMEP), and i dont actually have a pos opk yet, even though i have ewcm - do we a) keep on the every other day SMEP plan or b) take advantage of the cm, even though it might end up being like 5 days of dtd in a row? suggestions?

 

[Mlaaron]

I know exactly what u r going through. I am on ww number 2 and I can test on the 14th of August. This waiting is killing me. I have been exceptionally tired during the day and can't sleep at night. I had cramping after the iui for about 4days. Have not had any other symptoms other than breast tenderness.

 

[TaylorDF]

HWPG - We DTD 5days in a row. I don't know how that helps you - but we did. Haha. I would totally take advantage of your EWCM. If all else fails its still a good time.

 

[TaylorDF]

So I have to share this little piece of funny with you ladies -- My husband continuously tells me I'm pregnant. He keeps saying "I don't know what it is, but I just know you're pregnant. I know it!" - Even tonight for dinner I had spicy homemade chipotle burritos, coffee, and wine then (obviously) was stricken with heartburn and indigestion. Immediately he says "BECAUSE YOU'RE PREGNANT!" .... No honey. I'm just now 7dpo... Aka not pregnant. So as the night went on and we got in the bed - he snuggled up to me as I was reading. He comments on the fact that my skin is hot to the touch and I'm putting of extreme amounts of body heat - to the point where he had to be completely not touching me. Usually I'm about as warm and cozy as a cinderblock so he, of course, went on and on about how it MUST mean I'm pregnant and that it's his 'little boy' in there. I swear he just makes me laugh sometimes. And last - which to me is the funniest - he says "ok how about this: how about, just between the two of us, we say you're pregnant. No matter what happens on the 16th. You'll just be pregnant for extra long without any symptoms." ... I immediately thought to myself "oh dear. He's cracked. I'm going to have to send him away now to a loony bin and then I REALLY can't get pregnant!" (haha). He was obviously joking and every time he talks about how badly he wants a baby it definitely boosts my spirit and helps me press on. We haven't been TTC for super long and we definitely have age on our side so I do think that really does help motivate us to not be knocked into the ground. I don't know. We'll see. According to my crazy husband I'll be pregnant from now until I give birth. (crackhead) but goodness do I love him.

 

[laustiredttc]

lol taylor, wish my husband was like that. I think he is scared to say anything to me about incase i erupt into an inferno of emotions around him

hw, the smep says every other day until you get your pos opk, but i just say GO FOR IT GIRL and have fun

welcome mlaaron

got my boods today and also have my smear on the same day. The last results came back as borderline abnormal so hopefully this time they will be fine. Also hope my bloods come back that i'm O fx

i am petrified of needles and i am already starting to hyperventilate writing this. Its 9.20am here, bloods at 10am then smear at 2pm

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

good luck laus..i hate needles too, hope you have a great day other than that.

 

[HWPG]

good morning!
laus, you have already had your blood drawn and i think smear at this point - it seems you're about 7 hours ahead of me. hope it all went ok!
unfortunately, we did not take advantage of the slippery.... we went fishing (for real, on a boat in an ocean, i'm not using "fishing" as a euphemism (this time ) last night and did not get home til 10p, where we promptly fell asleep. opk this AM was darker, but not dark, and we only "missed" one day - so if i get the pos opk tonight, we'll go 3 days, and see what happens. i HAVE to believe i'm still in.... even though it feels like it will NEVER happen.
btw, did i mention about my best friend being preggers, after 2 months, and then telling me i had to hurry up and get busy? oh, i mentioned it? cause i'm still dwelling.....
welcome to the new people - be prepared for some funny stuff on this thread - it's a great bunch of straightforward support system women!
update on everyone else?

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

oh! Mama!

 

[TaylorDF]

Mama! Aren't you only 9DPO?!

 

[HWPG]

um, advice please: just went to the bathroom: ewcm and BRIGHT red blood. a decent amount. wtf? wtf is going on with my body? this has not happened before. wtf....

 

[TaylorDF]

HW - I've heard that ovulation can cause bleeding. You think it possible?

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Taylor, yes only 9...last time I was preg I got a bfp on cd24...i just am losing hope and feel nothing, no symptoms and last month my af came on cd27...usually not that short. :/

Hw-not sure hun, hope it's nothing bad and goes away!

 

[HWPG]

i have heard that also but.... bright red? i thought it was supposed to be like, old-ish. and my opk hasnt come up yet! i guess i'll be checking all day... stupid stupid body. stupid ttc. stupid fertile people. stupid everything.

 

[laustiredttc]

oh mama wish i could give you a real one huni its not ove till its over!!

hw, i really dont know hun? i have never heard of people bleeding around O. I would def make an app at the docs just to get their opinion on it huni. I wish i had more advice to give you chic, it is bit strange. Just wondering, (throwing it out there) whether you might have O earlier than you thought and if its IB?

Went the docs to day had both things done, very unpleasant!!! i am absolutely zonked, these frickin dizzy spells won't leave me either

Still don't feel too stressed about things, just got it into my head this month that it prob wont happen, the feeling lightens the load as i am not getting my hopes up then. Also i have zero symptoms to report which i'm ok with
