Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[TaylorDF]

Haha I'm glad that you're going to try Sniz! And yes - this trigger shot is KILLING me!! I am asleep by 11 and don't even wake up until 10! I am usually asleep by 2am and awake at 8:00! This has totally thrown me off. On top of that I'm very tired all day long. It's kind of cruel - making your body believe its pregnant yet I *may* not be. bah.

I'm 4DPO today and am having cramping and other strange symptoms. Not pregnancy symptoms but side effects of the trigger.

Hmm let's see: bizarre sleep pattern, (tmi) very potent smellin urine, no appetite, mild nausea ALL day long, when I do have an appetite- I take four bites of food and am full to the point of having to unbutton my pants. Haha.

It's positively crazy what the body does. Crazy.

Are you having any of these post-trigger symptoms? Or am I wandering alone here?

 

[HWPG]

Hello? (echo, echo). {pin drops}. Um, where my girls at? Haha, apparently when i said I spent a few hours a day on here, I only meant mon -fri. Hope that means ppl are enjoying their days and not too consumed with opks, symptoms, hpts, etc... afm, cd12 and still opk neg. Not bothered, just waiting. cheers!

 

[laustiredttc]

hey hw hope you get your opk soon and have fun with the pillows

mama not really paying attention to my body this month, seriously, i am sitting here and i am trying desperatley to remember what dpo i am? Feel a bit blase about it this month? I honestly cant put my finger on it. Its not because i dont want a but just feeling i dont know imassive i guess?

I'm here, just don't know have anything to report! When do you usually ovulate on average, fx it comes soon!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

man I hate bbt! I don't know if mine is accuarate since I do not sleep for a full 3 or 4 hours. I wake up but lay there and fall right back asleep and this morning I was awake from 3-4:30 little one keptgetting out of bed (checked temp at 4:30) 97.49 and finally fell back asleep and I usually take my temp around 5:30 or 6...woke up at 7:30 so checked temp and 97.99.? That's what I charted with since you need a full at least 3 hrs of uninteruppted sleep, even though i'm 1hr30mins late. yesterday it was 97.79 around 6. Did I do the right thing using the 7:30 temp? It's gone up everyday so far except my 2nd day took a little dip but maybe something caused that, I don't know! Felt sooo hot lastnight, and that is one reason I could not sleep. I had a few spouts of heartburn...haven't had muchof anything else. Hope this is it, but don't wanna get my hopes up

Laus, maybe not being with it is a good thing...just go day to day and do your stuff! I never really tried to notice anything or didn't notice anything when I was pregnant all my other times. I just felt it was normal not a symptom. Look at it that way, don't think of it as ooh i'm pregnant, just think of it as this is normal, just another day.

Sniz, Taylor-i bet it is nice to share what you both are going through. You guys are strong women! Hope you both feel better soon and get that bfp! FX FX FX!!!

How are you, Bray? Hope your gearing up for ovulation soon!

 

[HWPG]

Morning ladies! It's nice to start the day with a smile
I usually O between cd12-16... Today is... Um, about 13? Haha... Weirdly, I had a pretty dark but not pos line around cd8.... Meh, whatever. Temps are still low so oh well. How many dpo are you now, mama? Laus, I'm like you also (right now). Just kinda plugging along and keeping to SMEP but otherwise not too bothered. Give it a week.... Sin and Taylor, I hope you guys are feeling better. I have not had trigger shot but a couple times I took clomid and that stuff made me crazy, so I can't imagine what you're feeling. It's good you have BnB! Ok, off to poas!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

I'm 6dpo now.... pry 2 more days i'll test. If my temp stays up.

 

[Brayr08]

Hey ladies...sorry I've been MIA for a couple of days. I just feel like I'm boring right now. I've been impatiently awaiting Wednesday to get here so I can see how my follicles are developing. Hope all is well with everyone else. Next week should be exciting for a couple of you. Hopefully we'll see some BFP's!!!

 

[HWPG]

Ok, so this is sort of a vent and sort of long, but I have to say it to someone.... So I want to talk to one of my friends about how she upset me and I've tried to call her a couple times this wkd and she hasn't answered, which makes me think she's avoiding me but isn't true because she doesn't even know I'm upset.... It's making me crazy about what i'm going to say and wanting it to come out correctlky. That is part A. Part B is that my other friend is NTNP, literally like, "oh, I had ewcm, so we had sex" and that's it... And I've been pestering her about whether she's gotten her period, but she hasn't responded, which of course makes me think, no and she's preggers.... But I don't know. This is also making me crazy because I hate feeling such a mix of emotions even before I know the news! Why do I have to feel jealous and sad along with being happy and excited for her? Why can't I be a good friend and be joyful for her, and not just be a jealous b*? I'm having so much anxiety about these two situations and I've already tried to make contact with both... And I'm just feeling so many feelings. OH is supportive and tries to be helpful, but ... he just can't relate. So I just had to get that out. And I'm still waiting to Ov which is fine, but just want to get there already.... Sigh. Grumpy day.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Bray-hope wed comes quick for you and you have great looking follicles!

Hw-I don't what she did to upset you, but you should let her know if it was something major. Maybe it's something you could let go and get over? If not just be truthful and tell her how you feel, but be polite about it and let her know easily. Just let her know you don't want to make her upset and if she's a true friend she'll understand, hopefully. As for your other friend that might be preggers...I'm the jealous type too, here I have a 18 weekmiscarriage and i can't stand looking at preggo pictures on facebook of my friends and wishing it was me that far along or why did it have to happen to me, but I am happy for them. Everybody is different, maybe some people do act jealous but don't show it or let people know. Your not a bad personfor being jealous, it's just we want to be happy too and have what they have but we aren't to that milestone yet and we're frustrated about it. I don't know, hope you get through it ok and we're here for ya. Hope you get your positive opk asap!

 

[Brayr08]

HWPG-I'm the same way! I always feel so bad for feeling that way, but I litteraly can not help it.

 

[HWPG]

Yep, best friend just called. Pregnant. Wtf!? Why not me? Why not you? What is so different that they can just go bareback for two months and it happens, but we test and time and try and track and it doesn't f-ing happen!? Can't stop the tears. Can't stop the heartache. Feeling so many feelings, I don't even have enough words, and I'm speechless at the same time.

 

[HWPG]

Oh yeah, and she asked in a tiny sweet timid voice if I was mad at her... Omg, make me cry! She knows all my struggles and desire to get pregnant, and then she's worried about telling me about her good news? It was so sweet and heart-breaking. How can she possibly call me a friend? I hate life right this minute.

 

[HWPG]

Sorry, one more little tidbit - four years ago this wek, my sister told me she was pregnant after eight months of me trying. Same week I found it XH had zero sperm. The first week of August is not good for me. Also sorry that the last posts have been totally self-centered. I can't see past my tissues right now...

 

[laustiredttc]

hey girls sorry i've been as bray says mia. few things to sort out.

thanks mama, still feeling chilled ps, the temp rises sound good and i would just take the average between the times hun

sni, taylor hope the shots are not kicking your butts and you girls are ok.

Hey bray good luck for wed

hw, i'm really sorry huni, i totally been there and i know exactly what your going through. You are NOT a bad friend at all you just want it so much and i get it, 'it's not fair its taking longer'. All you can do is try to be as much of a good friend you possibly can without upsetting yourself too much. And when it is your turn your friend will be there the same. I wish i could give you more advice hun but alas i'm here with you. Your not alone huni and vent it out here as much as you can, get those little off ya chest.

just quick update here girls, think i'm 4dpo? nothing interesting to report really. thinking.................... nope nothing, it's all boring here

 

[Brayr08]

HW-As much as we hate it, unfortunetly, I think it's relativley normal to feel like this. If it makes you feel any better, at least your was someone who got pregnant after only two months. I had to leave my brother inlaw's rehersal dinner b/c a friend who had been trying for at least 2 years just found out they were pregnant after clomid and an IUI. How terrable is that?! I know exactly how she was feeling and yet I was still bitter and jealous. We did the exact same thing in Febuary and ! It isn't that I didn't want them to be pregnant, I do/did. So, long story short, I'm totally feeling for you girl!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Hw-She has guts to tell you the truth, and look at it this way...if you became pregnant and your friend has had all the troubles you do ttc wouldn't you feel bad for her knowing you got pregnant and she hasn't yet? I know you're upset and I don't blame you, I've been there before. Just try to breathe and relax and be happy for her. I know it will be hard to talk to her now or see her but just push/hide all of the anger/jealousy away. You are not a bad person and you are a good friend. Good friends are hard to come by... and I hope since the beginning of August or this month anyways has been bad for you, I praywith all my heart that you get that opk very very soon and you have great success at bd and get to use a hpt and see 2 beautiful dark pink lines! You deserve it! And don't worry about your posts, you were angry and upset and it's totally normal like Bray said. You can vent about anything you want, we are all here for you.

I know I shouldn't have, but I tested with 10miu test and bfn...so not giving up hope yet, it's still early! And I think I might skip tomorrow...

 

[HWPG]

thanks everyone! i still kinda want to crawl into a hole but i've heard that never helped anyone....except maybe Gollum, but look how that turned out. I'm freaked out cause my temps have been high the last couple mornings, but i havent had a pos opk, so i'm going to blame the dang heat/weather!
i sincerely hope everyone else is doing ok. mama, i'm sorry you got a neg but like you said, it's so early! bray, fx for wed! laus, keep up the relaxed approach, it's sending out good vibes. and sni and taylor, hope you are recovering from the trigger shot.

 

[Snizuitz]

Hw- Seriously. I think we all know exactly how you feel and it is completely natural! This last year, a friend of mine started posting all this happy news (for her) on Facebook. It was one thing after another, week after week: "We got a new car!" "We got a new house!" "I'm pregnant!!!" It was right during a rough time for me and DH, so it was extremely difficult to be happy for her. The kicker tho? A month later she found out she has cancer. I felt like a royal jerk after that! Happy ending tho: she just had her baby and she's doing really well.

I guess I felt like: would I rather have her life or mine? The answer is always going to be mine. I have a great husband (hers is probably OK, but I prefer mine! ), we have good jobs and we're healthy. Of course I want the baby, but my life is designed for me!

Thanks to everyone wishing me and Taylor well on the shots! I have been getting better-- foggy brain starts later and later each day and hubby says I'm pretty normal now.

I may not be on much this week. I have a huge exam on Friday (trying to get licensed to practice law over here!), so I should probably focus on studying.

But fingers crossed for everyone!!!! Lots of baby dust!!!!

(And who am I kidding? I'm sure I'll still check in everyday! Lol!)

 

[HWPG]

EWCM! woot woot! now just waiting for that pos opk and temp rise...
