Only 5dpo and already driving myself insane?

[macydarling]

What would I do without you? Seriously lady, thank you for being here!

I think I may focus on just yoga today. I realized I ran everyday last week and forgot a rest day...oops. Can you tell I was a little stressed last week?! Haha. Sometimes I forget that if I do other activities besides running it will actually make me a stronger runner. I tend to cast yoga aside as "not real" exercise because you dont get that good sweat and calorie burn. But it isnt really about that is it?

I am so glad you have a busy day ahead of you! That is great and will keep you nice and distracted.

Yes...you are right. I should be thankful that AF has gotten regular. It has been 28 days on the dot these past few months. Woo hoo!

 

[DoubleLines]

Thank you too!!!

That definitely sounds like overall it was a stressful week then. Everything I always read about runners and training and what not is to make sure to get your rest day(s) in, yoga and strength training!

I told myself I'd be positive meanwhile I just got so irritable with my friend - I know it's because I'm super overwhelmed with work, the house closing, moving, and the multiple weddings and other things happening this summer - but now I feel like a hormonal witch. Is rage an early pg sign? Ha.

 

[macydarling]

The unexplicable rage is def an early sign I do remember that!

I may even take a full rest day today. Since I forgot one last week that totally carries over and means I get to sit on my bum for 2 days this week right? Ahh yes I think so, it's a rainy day, kids are about to have quiettime and what's that? Some sappy lifetime movie is calling my name

 

[DoubleLines]

Haha good, let's hope it's a sign! I actually feel like a crazy person today. One minute I'm happy and thinking about how great life is and the next BAM I'm irritable, everyone is driving me nuts, I'm overwhelmed, I'm tired of the TWW and just want to be pg already and I just want to run home and sit by myself quietly and read a book or hide out!

It's so sunny here, I actually sort of wish it was a rainy day!

You deserve a rest day and it's good for your body!!! It's the perfect day to watch some mindless tv

 

[macydarling]

I agree! I am so over the tww. Ahh. Remember...just get through today

DH just texted me and said he is going to be home late Im currently trying to think of ways to distract myself when I get home. So far I have a long bath and a face mask. I will have to pick up dinner on the way home so maybe the new Cosmo? I only read the real classy stuff

 

[DoubleLines]

I'd be in the same boat but I actually have a work call tonight which mentally makes me feel like it takes over the whole night!

Do you cook? You could pick up groceries and cook something for dinner and surprise DH when he gets home late? Bake something too? I'm not a good cook, but like tonight, I'm excited to just put on some music, and spend some time chopping veggies and making chicken fajitas before my work call. It keeps my mind and hands busy!

Ha, I love Cosmo (only the classy parts too...mmmhmmm...) Let's see other ways to be distracted tonight...

-Do you have any favorite shows/series? Especially ones your DH doesn't like to watch? (I sometimes like when DH works late a few times a week because then I can watch Real Housewives, 16 & Pregnant and other shows I hate to admit I watch!)
-Cleaning (I hate this one, haha) but I recently cleaned out my closet which felt really good to get rid of stuff I never actually wear
-Online shopping (my favorite, but lately when I do it, instead I end up googling symptoms so...)

 

[macydarling]

That is a GREAT idea. DH LOVES when I make lasagna from scratch but it is such a long process that it is more like torture for him. Lol! Perfect night for it...he will walk in and be greeted by the smell of cooking lasagna Something is wrong with his grandfather's car so he is going to take a look at it. He is really handy with that kind of stuff which is super lucky for me!

I am ashamed to admit but here it is...I watch 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom religiously. Man that feels good to get off my chest I think DH just pretends to hate it because whenever we watch it he always ends up getting into it LOL.

Cleaning...Boo. Kidding. I actually dont mind cleaning and find it quite therpeutic sometimes. I do have my scrapbook too though! I did three pages yesterday but I wanted to buy more supplies. I was using the same ribbons/stickers/etc on all the pages and I felt like that wasnt right? I need more variety! Lol. I have to find somewhere cheap to get some odds and ends. Target let me down (for once in my life ever. Love that place!)

Well, as I was watching Lifetime I realized Im not feeling quite well! I am a bit nauseated and flushed. My cheeks feel like they are on fire! I actually took my temp and it is almost 99° which is a bit high for me. Could be AF, but it also couldnt be Im just glad for any kind of symptom at this point!

I really, really hope I can be strong and not stray toward the hpts after work when I stop for dinner stuff and Cosmo! Must...be...strong!

 

[DoubleLines]

Do it! My DH is the same way, he loves walking in and smelling something cooking - immediately makes him happy!

Ok.. I admit it...I LOVE TEEN MOM. I wish there were more episodes now - I have watched Chelsea, Leah, Kailyn (even Jenelle) from the start and some how got so sucked into it. 16 & pregnant I end up watching too, but definitely LOVE Teen Mom. Haha thank God, now I feel a little better that someone else does too.

Do you have Michaels or AC Moore around you?

Woohooo I love symptoms! Those sound promising! Haha I will give you a lot of credit if you can stay away...

I have a feeling I'll be testing tonight...I know it'll be a BFN at this point, but oh well, gonna try anyway!

Aside from feeling like a mental patient today, I'm feeling slightly woozy too.

 

[macydarling]

SAVE YOUR TEST...for tomorrow morning. Lol. Save those babies for first morning urine only At least this early in the game. I may be a POAS addict but I DO somehow reserve them for first potty break of the day only.

Yep, I like Teen Mom better also. I have been watching the girls since their 16 & Pregnant
too. I wonder when they will be back? After this season of 16 I guess...

Michaels...yeah I have one of those! Totally forgot about that place since I am SO NOT crafty or creative like ever. Lol. Except at work when I do arts and crafts with the kiddos.

Ahah...Im right there with you with the mental patient comment. AF just better not be late this month (as in comes late and makes me wait even longer) or they will be throwing me in the looney bin and hiding the key.

 

[DoubleLines]

Omg... so...I couldn't not test and now... it's a squinter, but there is a very very very very faint pink line on this FRER. I am just terrified now though that it's that dreaded evap line or now my hopes are so high and it might go away... I think I just have to hold off and test again over the next few days...

 

[macydarling]

Wow that is awesome! What dpo are you? Think how dark that will be with fmu! As long as it came up within the time limit and it has color that is a bfp!! Yay!!! Congrats!

 

[macydarling]

You should definitely post that in the testing section!!

 

[DoubleLines]

Thank you! I'm sorry, I just had to talk to someone! Ahh, I don't trust it though, I will have to wait it out and try in the AM. I think I am 8 dpo, but actually could be 9dpo (I may have ovulated on Saturday May 31st). It was up within a minute or so but truthfully, I couldn't see it at first. I definitely don't want to assume it is one and then it not be. So I'll definitely have to wait it out...

How are you feeling?

 

[macydarling]

I tried zooming in on it but it got all grainy. What kind of test was it? As far as I know a line is a line as long as it comes up in the time limit it would be faint this early anyway and your urine is probably diluted.

I feel fine. Nausea didnt last long. Just hanging out with my cats wondering why my body cant cooperate already. lol. My cat's head is literally drooped over my arm making it hard to type. Ha!

 

[DoubleLines]

It was a first response. One thing I did do (which I don't normally do) is pee into a cup and then dip it in for like 15 seconds. Part of me wants to celebrate and believe it, but part of me is like - wait until FMU. I think now if it isn't, I will probably need to run away for a week and just be alone.

It will cooperate! (It has before!) And until witchy shows, you're not out! I'm sending you positive BFP vibes, as over the past few days I've come to realize how you would be the best bump buddy!

Ugh, gotta go jump on a work call. At least it will keep me busy for an hour...

 

[macydarling]

I think I will take it personally if you do not get a solid bfp tomorrow! Lol. I may cry! I am convinced that it is though, first response is really reliable!

I really really hope we can be bump buddies!

 

[DoubleLines]

and now I'm seeing so many posts about chemical pregnancies and really freaking myself out...

 

[macydarling]

I freaked myself out about that last time. I think they are pretty rare too! And I read something about the odds of having 2 m/c in a row are really low.

 

[DoubleLines]

I will let you know as soon as I test with my FMU!!!

Ugh, that is helpful to hear! Sometimes after reading all these threads I just wish I hadn't!

Now we need your BFP news, we're in this together!

 

[macydarling]

Aww thank you!

Yeah some of these threads are pretty intense and a little depressing!

Any way you can get your hands on a digital?!? That is how I confirmed my faint line on frer before.
