TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[sla545]

I asked my DH tonight to be honest with me and tell me what his gut feeling is about me getting a BFP this cycle. I was thinking he would say that we wouldn't, but he surprised me and said he feels like it will happen and from the time we decided last year to go ahead, he has felt like it would happen the first time it could. I'm so grateful to have a supportive partner in this crazy process!!

I'm so glad you have a supportive husband. That really will make the whole process so much easier.

I feel like I can't even talk to mine about anything TTC because he just doesn't get it. I was feeling really down today because I'm 99% sure AF is on her way. He told me he doesn't understand why getting my period upsets me and if I was being 'normal' it wouldn't. When I tried to explain to him how it sucks waiting to see if you're pregnant, finding out you're not and then going through a whole other month where you probably won't end up pregnant again he just said "so what? it's only another month".

I know TTC isn't the same for him as it is for me but I just wish he could be more empathetic.

We're going into month 6. And I know that compared to some people that's nothing but I really did expect to still not be pregnant. It really sucks at times.

Im sorry. I can imagine how hard it would be if I couldnt talk to DH or he wasnt interested in TTC. But you know what, you have us!!!!! We will be there for you and give you all the support he doesn't. I know, not the same, but hopefully helps a bit. Even though my DH is supportive, I cant tell you how nice it is to come and vent/rant/whine/complain etc. here at BNB. There is nothing like other people who are going through the exact same thing.

Sending good thoughts your way

So true sla....my hubby is pretty involved and supportive of the whole TTC craziness but at the end of the day he's still a guy and doesn't understand the emotions of all of this from a woman's perspective. I'm so glad I can come here and talk to other women going through the same stuff. Hang in there Marieb....we're all here for you

So yesterday, i was pretty down. I had all the symptoms, the chart but just not the pregnancy test. Dh was pretty upset too so we basically avoided each other all morning lol.
Well this morning came another temp rise, and I had one test left and decided to use it. This is what I got.


Its very faint but there. Can you see it?

 

[marieb]

I can see it!!!!

With the faint line and rise in temp I would be getting very excited if I were you.

Thank you both! I think sometimes I do stress him about especially when I worry if something might be wrong. I just wish he'd try to understand how getting my period month after month begins to get me down.

13 or 14 dpo today and starting to get some pretty good cramps. Looks like I'm on to month 6

DH and I talked about this yesterday. I was a crying mess in the morning, and though he was pretty stoic, he did eventually get upset about the negative. After about an hour he got over it and wanted to get on with the day and he expected me to just snap out of it. I explained to him, that when you are ttc, and you chart (or use opks or BOTH), symptom spot etc, it is much harder than getting a simple yes or no answer at the end of the month like the men do. He very much acknowledged that he hasnt a clue as to the pressure/stress of ttc. To him, he gets to have another month of fun sex (just what I want to hear right?) so its no big deal. Men cant really relate. They may sympathize, but like childbirth you dont get it until it happens to you lol.
Dont worry! We'll be your shoulder...honestly, men dont have vaingas so until they do, they .just .don't. get. it.

I can see it! It has always been my understanding it doesnt matter how faint a line, any line means it is picking up HCG! Fxd for you that it keeps getting darker! So excited for you

 

[runnergrl]

HOLLY!!



Oh yeah, and YES! I can see it! I just KNEW it was your month! your chart looked too good! !!!!!

 

[HollySSmith]

HOLLY!!

LMAO! You're too funny! I'll be POAS for the next few days to make sure I get a progression. I'm numb I think, after being so upset yesterday about it not happening, then to get a positive today....my head is going to explode lol.

 

[runnergrl]

I could not be happier. I think I was almost as shocked as you were yesterday when you didnt see a line.. it was just hiding. I knew it was there, lol!
