TTC buddy?!

[AMN21]

I know how you feel TTCBean! The other night I got on here and was looking at some of my regular threads and the BFP announcements (IDK why I do that to myself) and I just started crying. I even cried myself to sleep. DH was already sleeping and I didn't bother telling him how sad I was. I just really thought I would be pregnant by now. And its scares me that 2 IUI's didn't work. Sometimes I feel like it will never happen. I know deep down I will get pregnant but I wish it was sooner rather than later. I keep telling myself, just focus on losing weight, that way I have a healthy pregnancy. Everyone keeps saying now that I am focusing on losing weight, I will get pregnant...well I am still waiting for that to happen!! I never thought I would be ttc for this long (14 months now!) Praying our luck changes!

Ladies I am so sorry you are feeling this way AMN keeping focused on weight loss is a great thing..wish I did Tht. I hope and pray you wonderful ladies get pregnant soon!

We are allowed to be angry and bitter lol! I rarely looks at the BFP announcements anymore, I used to all the time though. It would just about kill me to see "Not even trying, or First month trying!" <----thats how angry I get when I see that lol. (Don't worry I am not a violent person! haha) But it's like did you have to put that in, couldn't you just say "yay bfp!" or something! However, I do know they don't write that with bad intentions, I'm just bitter...

Our time WILL come.

AMN, I wish we lived closer, it would be nice/supportive/fun to have a buddy who is going through the same things as me in person.

 

[AMN21]

I wish we lived closer too TTCBean! Seems like everyone around me has kids already and get pregnant easily!

Its nice that you have that lady as a friend. I'm sure she will understand exactly how you are feeling. Gosh I couldn't imagine growing old, no children, grandchildren...that WILL NOT happen. We will find a way to pay for IVF if we aren't successful in the next year or so.

It sucks that the clomid is giving you acne! I never had any side effects from it really. Yesterday I took my first 2 progesterone pills. I was so confused when I picked up my prescription at the pharmacy because they are the same exact capsules I already had at home but that I had to insert vaginally after my first IUI. So I was like um....the only difference is this label says to take by mouth. Come to find out you can take the same capsule orally, or vaginally. Weird. Lol. I guess they are supposed to be for oral use unless your doc tells you otherwise, so most pharmacies don't know that they can be used as a vaginal suppository.

I was looking it up and a lot of people said how horrible they are to take orally because of the side effects since they have to travel through your system. They complained of dizziness, nausea, sleepiness, mood swings (mostly bad moods), crazy dreams. I was like oh great lol. I took my 2 yesterday and felt normal so hopefully it stays that way. I did sleep good! I only have to take it for 6 more days. Then hopefully AF will come and go before I leave for vacation Aug 11!

Anyways, I hope we're not dragging you down with our posts lately Smooch!! I am definitely thrilled for you and baby!!!

 

[Smooch]

No your not dragging me down....i totally get it and understand the frustration. No worries.
Just wish it didnt have to be so hard for women. Sucks big time!
Wheres a damn baby fairy when ya need one??? Lol

 

[TTCBean]

AMN:

I couldn't image it either. I dream of having children and grandbabies, it's something that MUST happen in my life time. She is a really strong woman. We WILL get pregnant!!

and Smooch, I'm glad we're not dragging you down! I am super excited about your pregnancy and can't wait to hear more about it as it progresses.

We do need a baby fairy!! Lol

Sorry about the BFN TTCBean. Fingers crossed for the next cycle!! I try not to read too much online about what affects infertility. I just ask my doctor if I have questions. Only because the internet can be terrible and give you so much false information. You just never know what's true! Also since I've worked in a birthing center I've seen all kinds of people get pregnant, and just come to realize that every person is different and the way their body reacts to certain things is different as well. I'd say if you have questions about the exercising, just ask your doc

Btw, no side effects from the oral progesterone yet...sleeping very well though!!

 

[Smooch]

Aw sorry you got bfn TTCBean just not fair!

 

[TTCBean]

Thanks ladies

Hmmm, that is strange. I have had that happen to me before and AF did come fully but who knows, you could be different. I would say ask your RE about it, that way you know what CD you are on for sure, so the clomid is well timed.

 

[TTCBean]

How are you AMN?

 

[AMN21]

I am good. A few more days left of progesterone. Still no side effects thankfully. I sleep SO good on it though! Today DH and I have 2 birthday parties to go to. One of my best friends that I grew up with is celebrating her son's 2nd birthday and our neice on my hubby's side is having her 1st birthday party. My mother-in-law and her boyfriend are staying with us for the weekend. They live in Kentucky. I'm glad they could come for the birthday party but having house guests isn't always my favorite thing lol.

I can't say I'm super excited for these birthday parties, only because I am still childless...does that sound selfish? Idk, I just always feel like we are the only ones without a kid to bring to these sort of things...and then comes the questions, "oh when do you 2 finally plan on having one?" Thats when I just fake a smile and say "hopefully soon" and try to change subject!

We were at the store yesterday looking for presents for the 2 and I just sat there thinking, gosh this would be so much easier if I had a child! We had no clue what to get lol...its funny cause you think, a kid will like anything, but then you gotta think about their age and if they will understand it or whatever. Maybe I was just thinking to much into it lmao....

One day our time will come...(hopefully sooner rather than later)

 

[Smooch]

Aw sorry TTCBean
Dont ever worry about being a debbi downer....its a roller coaster of emotions this ttc business...this is where u can say all the things others may not understand.

Amn...tht sucks when ppl ask tht...and u have to play it off no fun.
Not selfish at all either...its understandable.
