TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[puma1986]

Thanks ladies. You truly are such an amazing support group.

Honestly, I just want to tell those ladies to STFU. Good for them. Congratulations on getting pregnant. Now keep your TTC comments to yourself. Its not Math. Nothing is perfect.

Its luck, or god, or energy, a divine blessing or whatever someone chooses to believe. But it's not an equation that can be solved. Every woman and man is different. Conception itself is a miraculous thing. It's an emotional thing. And I sincerely dislike people who act that way - void of empathy and an understanding of how words like that can be so crushing.

Taking longer to conceive has made me realize truly how miraculous conception really is. I value the perspective I have gained as a result

We will appreciate everything once we get pregnant ha!

Btw I bought a cradle today on Varagesale, it was $35 and brand new wooden one. In love! I don't care if I don't get pregnant, it was a good deal lol. I was telling DH if I don't get pregnant, I will go mental and put my doll in the cradle heheh

Puma, sorry girl. its hard every month. im here hoping while trying not to get too excited.

Belle, im sorry u had to go thru that. some ppl are just asses. i would have shamed her so bad. i used to have some insensitive male friends who asked me why im not pregnant and how im not getting any younger. this was while i was single mind u. i then told them a real piece of my mind. i can get real bitchy when provoked. they havent bothered me since and even apologised.

i only told 1 friend im ttc. anyway, find inner peace. thats the best thing to do in this time. right now i just ate dinner (curried chicken..yum) and watching interstellar with dh. Game of thrones later!!!

 

[BelleNuit]

Sounds like a lovely cradle Golden!

The worst part of it TJ is that I think she thought she was being helpful.

DH and I had a great night tonight. We went for a bike ride to the theatre, watched a movie and enjoyed some sweets and biked back home! Its been awhile since I've taken my bike out and I forgot how much I enjoy it!

 

[GoldenRatio]

Sounds like a great night Belle, what did u guys watch?

 

[BelleNuit]

Into the Forest. It was a Canadian made film and was quite well done!

Interesting. The first trailer I watched for this was weird It had cut outs of drawn faces with voices added in.

I looked for a different one and found the correct trailer. It seems interesting. We may have to check this one out when it comes out on bluray.

 

[BelleNuit]

Ya, the trailer doesn't really capture the essence of the movie to be honest! It's not for the faint of heart as they deal with some really difficult subject matter, but it was a great film!

Good Morning guys, AF is due Thursday. Ovia says i can test tomorrow. even though i swore never to test again, im gonna buy a test today and test tomorrow morning in secret, before DH wakes up. but i promise not to cry if its a BFN. i wont even tell him if its bfn.

ive been having some mild cramps from saturday. yesterday i had cramps the whole day. normally i dont get cramps so persistent through out the day so far from AF. nipples slightly sore (maybe its bc i keep feeling them), cervix higher and softer than ive ever felt it. sooo...im a little optimistic. but im fully aware it might not be anything. so im trying to keep my emotion steady and not get too excited.

Awe, this is great! Hope for the best but expect AF! This seemed to work well for me this cycle. I expected her to arrive in the back of my head so I handled it much better than I normally do when she arrived. That, and I have ADD, so I am able to take my meds now that she has arrived! That is the one thing I look forward too. LOL I take them for the first two weeks, then stop around my fertile window to be safe. I feel like such an unfocused disorganized zombie during this period.

I might have cramps and be miserable! But at least I'm a productive crampy woman! LOL

 

[GoldenRatio]

TJ fx af stays away from u! i see Green got af too Cant wait to see one bfp here

Puma what meds are u talking about?

Today im 6dpo, no symptoms other than lots of creamy cm but i dont rely on cm or cp after ovulation anymore.
Also got some weird bumps on my back, i was thinking acne even mom and sil saw yesterday and were freaked out lol

Why does my chart look so r*tarded im just glad that i ovulated tho.

Babyc when are u leaving for mexico, and how was the wine fest? keep us posted before u go.

 

[TJ Islander]

i went on the road just now and bought the test. its petty cheap, abt 3 $US equivalent. i also saw they had some opk test. lol...i was tempted to buy but nah...im excited for tomorrow..lol

 

[BelleNuit]

Puma, did your doc say you had to quit your meds during the tww? What happens when you get pregnant!? I feel for ya, I work with teens and kids with ADHD, you can sure see the difference when they are off their meds!

Golden, your chart is looking great! Temps are going in the right direction!

TJ, I'm so excited to see your results!

As for me, CD 7, haven't seen fertile CM yet. Will probably start BDing tomorrow, Due to Ov over the weekend or possibly as late as Monday next week!

 

[GoldenRatio]

Bell weekend ovulations are the best, u can BD twice a day even and time it exactly when u feeling ovulation pain

I hav been looking at ff charts, its so random. I hate randomness maybe i should put my math degree to use and come up with a formula that detects pregnancy on ff charts by 6-8dpo ha?! Frer's ceo will get me killed probably.

Im gonna test Wednesday, on my bday regardless and i wont be upset!

I'm on Adderall. I have ADD - Inattentative type. Not hyperactivity.

Belle: the Doc told me I shouldn't take my meds if pregnant because of the risk it poses to the child. I've read various statistics regarding Adderall and pregnancy. Lab rats who were given Adderall while pregnant had a significant number of birth defects so it's classified as a class C drug.

It has saved my life. I wasn't diagnosed until a couple of years ago. I actually was sent to a nueropsychiatrist because of memory loss and what he found was that I wasn't experiencing memory loss. Instead, I simply wasn't retaining information of stimuli around me because I was struggling to focus. I couldn't focus. I couldn't stay organized. I was extremely depressed. I couldn't even remember conversations I had earlier in the day. I went to numerous doctors or diagnosed me with bipolar, bipolar depression, general anxiety disorder, et cetera.

I went from struggling on a daily basis to being correctly diagnosed, on the correct meds, and being known for my attention to detail, organization, and thoroughness. I've received 3 separate awards just in the last year. My late diagnosis and medication have literally saved my life. This is a 180 turnaround from before.

Now....having said that.... I will gladly go off my medication for 9 months to have a healthy baby. Despite how zombie-esque and clutter minded I might be lol

Puma, adult ADD is so often missed!! So glad you found something that works for you! Ive heard people get baby brain when pregnant anyway, so you'll fit right in!
