Trying To Conceive #1 Only Vent Thread

[cntrygrl]

Gah, being on a forced break is tearing me apart (long story short, main pipe broke, I get easy uti's if we don't wash before and after). Can't get it fixed until the spring when the snow starts melting because we gotta dig outside. Each O that passes I feel like "this could have been the one and we don't even know it." As if TTC hasn't lasted for what feels like a century. An early spring would be awesome, please mother nature? Would that be too much to ask?

Would IUI work better for you since you do seem to have issues. It looks like maybe that would be your best option?

Wait, so how do you guys wash... and have you not been having sex at all the whole time this pipe is broken?? And I agree, I bet IUI would be a lot easier and quicker results.

On my way home this evening I stopped by ASDA and picked up their brand of pregnancy test, which I have used in the past.

Just done one and Mum, OH and I can all see the faintest of lines, but it's so light I don't want to believe it's even there. It's pretty much the last thing I need after everything else.

Got a spare test and am tempted to do one when I wake up, but it's my birthday and worried that a BFN will just upset me, so now I'm going to either feel crap about thinking about it every minute when I should be enjoying my day (despite nothing planned, although I just had a cheeky slice of birthday cake) or risk upsetting myself.

Why am I so stupid as to test now?!

Trying to get the husband on board is really getting frustrating. He says he's interested, but today I had a positive opk and could not get him to have sex! I mean what guy doesn't want to have sex! Really! Now I must admit that he does have a cold, but not so bad. I feel like I'm in this all alone. he knows how important this is to me! I dnt know what else to do. . This is not the first time this has happened

From what I have read that is typical of lots of the DH's out there. Mine included. My DH was such a pain at times that I would say lets go and he would be "sick" "tired" whatever. Maybe they just get stressed???? Not sure.

Sometimes they get "performance anxiety" x

Seriously, I feel like I've been kicked in the teeth... Withing the past 48 hours my OH's cousin has given birth, a girl I used to like with have birth, the taxi driver I used this afternoon had his baby's scan picture on display and a girl I know on Facebook had her 20 week scan!
Oh and I swear if one more old person tells me I'm "pushing it" age wise because I've just turned 27 and haven't had any kids yet I may have to poke them in the eye!!
Furthermore, to the stupid cow stood at the bus stop who is around 8 months pregnant and smoking - I hate you!!!!!
This is all!!!

AF is suppose to arrive on Monday. I was stupid and bought a dollar store test yesterday and took it. Of course it was a big fat BFN. Today I'm feeling what could be PMS symptoms. Sigh. Trying to be optimistic as the pain I'm feeling right now is not my typical PMS symptoms. The sore boobs is missing for one thing and the pain is on my right instead of in the middle or the left. Also my back is hurting (that never happens). I dunno. Probably grasping at straws. Guess we'll see in the coming days. REALLY wish I hadn't of taken that test. :/

Washing question: We boil water in our big pot on the kitchen and we still have a small cold water stream coming in but just enough to fill stuff up so it doesn't work with the shower or washing machine. We mix the boiling and cold water and DH made a homemade shower cap using one of our old tobacco cans and pierced a bunch of holes in it.

Sex question: Nope, no sex since the water pipe decided to mess up.

IUI question: We gotta save up for the pipes, gonna cost roughly between 1-3k to fix since it's outside and underground but it's on my side of the line between private and city property so gotta pay for it all by ourselves. We're flat as can be right now. For now, we're just gonna wait it out.

The upside of this forced break is the stress relief from 2ww. Since the rant I posted I have taken the oppurtunity to study myself. To know 100% what my exact AF symptoms are so I don't keep on confusing them with 2ww symptoms in the future. I've come to terms with it since then. Still stings, but I'm looking at it with a new perspective now In fact I see it as a god sent because it was way over do for me to hop off of that train before making myself go insane. It was to the point where just seeing a baby on tv made me break down. Not healthy at all. This free time is letting me collect myself again.

Don't worry my fiances mom didn't have kids til she was in her 30s

 

[Jett55]

I just love how it's the ppl not trying or don't necessarily want kids yet that get pregnant :/

Had a bad day, DW.

 

[southernbound]

Ug. Soooo sick of this. In high school everyone tells you that if a mans bits get near you you'll get pregnant. You'd think that after years of trying not to have a baby it wouldn't be quite so soul crushing to see that single line every month. We ttc for a year last year then took a break because I couldn't take it anymore, now been trying again for 4 months. My sil (whose family of three lives with my husband's parents) got pregnant literally 2 days after throwing out her pills and now that we're trying again suddenly its time for baby #2 >.<

DW = don't worry. It's okay, has put me off celebrating my birthdays in future though.

I was already on the edge, and today I was pushed of the cliff but instead of dying on impact I just laid there severely injured at the bottom of a canyon until I was slowly eaten alive by vultures.
