TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[puma1986]

It really does make us crazy! like, we react in ways that we done even see coming and then look bak and say WTF was i thinking????

How did ladies do this back in the 50s lol?
No apps, no tracking tools? no OPKs? They just sexed whenever and BAM they became the mother of 10 kids and all under the age of 10 lol !

MADNESSSS
!!

Totally!! My grandmother had 11 children, and everyone in my family (I have TONS of cousins) seems to get pregnant just by looking at a man! .... And I'm so inpatient because I expected it would be easy for me too!

"Just by looking at a man.."

LMFAO!

 

[puma1986]

We didn't get in until really late last night so no POAS for me!

I did however take one this morning...

There wasn't even a HINT of a line. To be fair, I'm still technically two days away from being able to test positive on an early detection test.

So there's still hope.

If that was an evap line, do not ever buy equate walmart brand tests.

I think in the 50s women stayed home and did female responsibilities. Cook, clean, care for kids and keep the hubby happy in bed. They didn't necessarily wait until they finished college or had a good job. Etc.

TJ I know exactly how you feel. Last month we the BD every other day until 3-4 days b4 ovulation. I was ok that we missed 2 nights but night 3 I became upset with my hubby. Then it didn't happen bc I was upset and he wasn't feeling it.

We ladies know what we want and are very calculative/scientific about getting it. Ps I might be making up words.

Unrelated to the bs any one else feeling overly stressed. I don't ovulate until may 10. So I have some time to destroys BUT work has me totally stressed out. It's a weekend. I shouldn't feel this stressed.

I think that thinking about all of this makes our body's work against us and also makes our emotions on 100! WHICH in result effects the AF cycle and the expected O date WHICH THEN throws off our fertile frame and then we wonder what happened this month?????

Ladies we have got to do better!

Go out! Have a drink! Read a good book! Watch a movie! Play with your pets, cook a great meal! and RE FOCUS on the real reason why you want to have kids in the first place.!

Here's to hoping!

Aweeeeeeeeeeee. My heart aches for you. I know exactly how you feel missy. I think we all know exactly how you feel. *HUGE HUGS*

Some guys don't really understand. I had to fully explain to my DH the reason why it was so important to plan and that my egg could only hang out for as little as 10 hours then ENTIRE month.

Patience is so hard. Especially when all you want to do is snuggle and cuddle your squishy little pumpkin!

LOL!!!!!

I stopped trying to knit. My husband is still doing it. But for him.... it's not crocheting. It's "BRO-cheting. Bahaha. There's actually a thread for it on reddit, hilarious. They make some beautiful stuff, too!
And thank you! I'm in your guys' corner, too. I'm so glad I have you guys!

 

[greenarcher]

OMG THERE'S A BROCHETING SUBREDDIT?! I'm going to have to look into this. That sounds hilarious!

 

[BelleNuit]

BRO-cheting! That's so awesome hahaha

 

[BabyC4Me]

Tj honestly. Watch this be the most STRESSFUL and emotionally draining month ...and y'all make a baby! You never know. Sometimes life plays crazy games on us so that we can have stories to tell our grandkids lol

Puma. BRO-cething tho ????? I'm DEAD. Men always find a way to make things less feminine ' kinda ironic that he likes the new found craft.

Go Hubbie !

 

[GoldenRatio]

Bro-cheting on reddit that's hilarious!

Sorry puma about the evap, those blue dye tests should go to hell! For trucking us.

TJ don't worry Hun, I hav had multiple nights that hubby didn't wanna BD and I cried until my eyes were swollen shut lol at the end I was embarrassed. I kept saying I'm done tryin. Took me up to 6th cycle to understand it doesn't matter when we BD or miss a night. If it's meant to happen it will happen! I seen couple charts where BD was 6-8 days before ovulation and yet they managed to get pregnant. So don't stress, do ur best during fertile week but don't cry about one day, really not worth ur tears

Just came from Target.

Aka
... "Land of the Fertile& Breeding"

In 10 mins I may have saw up to 10 kids ...and about 4 expecting mamas

One with a infant strapped to her ...and explaining to someone how she was expecting another child. !

Now I'm not one to be jealous or envious ...but then again who am I kidding. I ordered my Starbucks and ran outta there as fast as I could !

Ladies why???? When will be it out turn lol

 

[puma1986]

Today, I read something that made me realize that I've been using the word nauseous incorrectly.

To say "I feel nauseous" would be incorrect. Instead, you should say "I feel nauseated".

Here's the reasoning pulled from vocabulary.com

"Nauseated is how you feel after eating funnel cake and riding the tilt-a-whirl, when you're two months pregnant, or any other time you need a vomit bag. Here are some examples from the New York Times,

He was constantly nauseated, so much so that he lost 50 pounds.

In the place of public transport, fleets of private vans career from stop to stop with their hapless, nauseated passengers.

Nauseous, on the other hand, should be reserved to mean causing that feeling, not having it. But it's used so often now to mean "feeling sick," that dictionaries define it that way. Here's how to use the word if you want to tuck in your shirt and be proper:

It does not contain iodine, but is said to possess all the therapeutic qualities of cod-liver oil without its nauseous taste. (Encyclopedia Britannica)"

So I will be sure to use the right form. LMAO.

Hope you enjoyed your pregnancy grammar tidbit for the day. LMAO.

I often wonder this myself. I mean, my 8 year old son was a total and complete unplanned accident (gift) with a fling almost 9 years ago!!! I'm even mad about this. Why was it so easy then??? Obviously facing the possibility of being a single mom at the time was terrifying, and I did end up being a single mom for 3 years before I met my DH. I didn't focus on the special moment of pregnancy like I should have.
It really bums me out. Now that I'm actively trying and it's not just "happening" I feel guilty.

I think all we can focus on is the sweetness of the moment when it arrives, because it will. Our awesome female bodies were made for this!
