Hey girls, I just need to vent...Last night, I litterally had dream after dream of getting a pos HPT. I would wake up randomly thinking for a moment it was real, then reality would come crashing down on me. So, by the time I got out of bed this morning I was obviously in an awesomely depressed mood. Then, I think I'm going to get to go on vacation in June and that totally back fires and I really really need a vacation. And our finances are tight b/c of doing expensive fertility procedures that obviously did us a whole lot of f'ing good. I just need a week to forget about TTC and bills and everything else or I'm going to go crazy! I am just getting so worn down by all of this. I just want to cry and punch something all at the same time! AAAAAHHHH!!!

 

[Brayr08]

Then I have employes that come and stand around my desk bitching about how their kids are driving them nuts. FML

 

[HWPG]

rach, so sorry! do you have a plan B for vacation?
when they start complaining about their kids, maybe you could do one of these: "ugh, i totally understand! i have these co workers who complain about their kids all.the.time and it's so annoy-.... oh. whoops. nevermind".

 

[Brayr08]

Thanks Mirolee that made me smile.

Has AF shown up yet? Hope not.

 

[HWPG]

spotting. not the type that is coming out, the sticky go searching for it type (graphic, sorry). tomorrow? saturday maybe? i think i'm goign to pysch the period out of me by taking a dollar store hpt - that usually works

 

[laustiredttc]

Rach, huni that's a shitty shitty thing to happen. Seriously i had the same monday, no joke!! woke up and thought you muther fuc*&%!!!! Maybe take some time out from everything, ttc, opk, bnb, sperm, bd'ing, ok well maybe not that but do something else that you enjoy, like really enjoy especially if you cant afford the vacation. Plan a girls night out and have some laughs, plan a day where you and dh have some real time together doing whatever it is you both like. Worked for me, i just concentrated on myself for a while and just totally fuck*& off alot of the ttc stuff. Anyway i hope you feel better by this weekend

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

rach-iagree with laura, if you can't afford a vacation right now...do something else. Like hubby and i didn't have enough money for a real honeymoon when we got married, so we just stayed overnight in a hotel close to home...maybe take a night and cuddle/relax and watch movies with dh, or go out for a nice dinner or make dinner at home with candlelight? I hope you find something to relax you and take away your stress.

 

[Brayr08]

Thanks for the support ladies. Love ya!

Hey Barb, how did everything go today?

 

[Snizuitz]

Sorry to hear about your frustrations, Rach. My sister used to say that with problems, it's either famine or drought. Just lots of suckiness! I agree with the other ladies-- go blow off some steam with your girlfriends!

I spent my ENTIRE morning trying to get someone to draw my blood. Lol! I know I'm a hard stick, but seriously. The RE gave up and told me to drink a ton of water (already had) and go to a lab to have them try. So, I drank water and walked around Target for a while. It was almost like a day off work!

The downside is I won't hear until tomorrow whether my numbers are good or not. The upside is that should be my last blood draw for a while if the levels are increasing properly!

 

[Brayr08]

Are you still spotting?

 

[laustiredttc]

i hope you get good news sweetie. Sorry for the crappy day but like you said at least you got some time off work. keeping fx

afm, well i must have O last night, no scrap that i know i O last night. I had the most horrible pain in my left ovary to the point where i can honestly say that i felt the actual egg being released and sure enough, big time temp spike this morning. The pain must have lasted for about 5 minutes as well. It was the strangest feeling i have ever had. Got my acupuncture app today so going to ask her what she thinks about it as i'm not sure if the pain is a good thing or a bad? Also question; do i class this as O day as i O about 3am this morning? Also i have my smear today, worst timing ever i know, do you think it will affect the eggy in any way?

Sorry for the long post and questions girls,

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

That is great you O, did you get some bding in? Not all womens experience pain at O time but it doesn't affect anything if you did. One time I O i had pain but it doesn't happen very often. I'm not sure about the smear...it takes about a week for the egg to travel to implant in the uterus anyways, so I think you would be fine but i'm not a doctor and i would bring it up before you get it done to be on the safe side. Enjoy your relaxing acupuncture today. ok, so you O at 3am...and had atemp spike..well if you wouldn't have felt that pain,and your are temping, you would say you O yesterdayaccording to the temp spike so do that. You are 1 dpo today!! WOOHOO!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Hope you are well Barb...still sending prayers your way.

How are you Mirolee and Rach?

 

[Brayr08]

Yey for the O Laura!!! And I agree with Heather, before you let them do anything, I'd definetly bring it up.

I am slightly less grouchy today. I've decided that starting next week (unless I'm pregnant or my cyst is still huge) I'm going to get my pre-trying-to-get-pregnant body back with lots of excersise. I already eat pretty healthy, but my Lord am I flabby. I've always been one to constantly excersise, so it will be SOOOOO nice to get back in the groove.

Barb, I'm still praying for ya girl! Hope everything comes back fine.

 

[Snizuitz]

Yay for O'ing, Laura! I would count the day before the temp spike as O day, so I agree with Heather on that. Let the TWW begin!!

Rach-- my spotting stopped the day before yesterday and never got too heavy. The doctor said it's totally normal (thank goodness!). Just waiting on those numbers today!

 

[Brayr08]

So happy to hear that Barb! Pray'n your numbers are HUGE today.

 

[HWPG]

Hi! Just a quick pop in. Temp crash today, counting it as day 1, also bfn on hpt. Starting calls to drs for hsg and clomid and acupuncture for next week. Haven't checked for full flow yet but I sure it's very close. Boobs very sore.
Barb, glad you are feeling better. Heather, any SS? Laus, I have o pain every month. Pap shouldn't do anything, but always ask. happy Fridays!

Sorry for the long post and questions girls,

Yay for O'ing. I get Opains sometimes, but not everytime. I dont temp though so I could be wrong on that. Just tell your dr your in the tww and they can go about your exam so as not to disturb anything

Yay for exercise, makes you feel amazing!! They say that exercising is actually really good for ttc. I'm also starting a new exercise progam trying to get all super sext to ttc again in July

I'm so glad it stopped love, I hope you get sky high numbers!

AFM Got my blood drawn yesterday, results this AM- my HCG is at a 1...so NOT PREGNANT Dissapointing but I know I'm not alone in that kind of disappointment. I do have my DD and I'm so grateful for her, and this means she gets to be "the baby" a while longer. I'm going to focus on getting in shape and getting my body baby ready for TTC in July
Can any of you lovely ladies explain to me how I start temping? I havent got my post MC AF so do I have to wait for that?

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

get a basal body thermometer...take your temp first thing every day at the same time and chart it, (fertilityfriend.com) is free...before O, your temps are on the lower side, after O your temps are higher. So, to know when you O you have to have 3 days in a row of higher temps than usual and usually a temp shift of at least .3 -.4 degrees. We will be here for more questions along the way, don't want to startle you with too much info or confuse you. I was confused at first also, but i've been temping to get to know my body and how long my luteal phase is so i know when to expect af and to make sure i'm ovulating. Sorry to hear that and best of luck to you next cycle.
