I get the occasional pang of jealousy but I think it's slightly different for me because I've never had to TTC for a long time and I've got 2 children so I mentally kick myself if I start to feel like that as I have no right really xx

Nat - sending you some big hugs :hugs: Sorry to hear that AF got you. Looking on the bright side, here's to a fresh start and hopefully this next cycle brings you a bfp! :)

Aleeah - hopefully the cramping you had was a good sign! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I'm CD9 now... just waiting to ovulate.

Crys - I really hope you do have a BFP for your birthday :)

Nina - I'm sorry you're having a bad day :hugs: I know the feeling, I get to the point where I think I'm starting to feel more like myself, and then out of the blue have a little meltdown. They're coming fewer and farther between now so at least that's positive. This has just been a really shitty year and I hope the second half of 2013 and 2014 will be better for all of us!

On the positive side, maybe the cramps you're having are ovulation cramps? Are you still doing OPK's? I had really really bad ovulation cramps last month... almost went to the ER they were so bad.

How are you ladies dealing with other people's pregnancies? I was at my office last week and found out one of my co-workers is about 17 weeks pregnant... she is due right around when I would have been. I'm really happy and excited for her, especially because I know they have been trying for a while... but it also makes me feel so so sad. To be honest, I kind of hid from her for the rest of the day so I didn't have to say anything, because I didn't think I would be able to say anything without tears and no one at work knows what happened. The good thing is I usually work in the community so I don't have to go in to the office everyday... but I'll probably see her again sooner or later... I'm just hoping that I will be strong enough at that point to be able to congratulate her without crying.

Thank you, Lindsay. I hope you get the BFP for your take home baby very soon.

I'm doing okay with it, I guess. I work at home, so I don't see many people outside of family and friends. My niece (sister is 12 years older than me) had her first pregnancy appointment the same day I was getting my 2nd set of bloodwork and had her 8-week scan the same day I had my 3rd set of bloodwork. I did really well talking to her. Of course, she didn't know I was pregnant. When talking to my sister (her mom) in the waiting room, I broke down crying talking about my situation, but I was okay with my niece being pregnant. I feel myself get jealous of pregnant ladies here and there, but I guess that's normal, and I'm still happy for them. I just have to give myself a mental slap on the hand to remind myself that's no way to be and that I will have my healthy baby soon.
 
Thanks for all your kind words. Im not that brave at all. Ibjust hope never have to loose any more. I dont think my heart could cope with it!

We will all get there ! And the support is an added bonus!

Got my first smiley face on a cbfm! Im only cd 9 rather confused! Anyone else had this? Xxx
 
I agree. The support is wonderful! I'm loving this thread. You ladies are a great bunch!

I can't really help, as I've never used a cbfm, but I can say I have ovulated as early as CD11 when I was trying for my youngest.

Hopefully that means you're going to ovulate soon :) I haven't used the cbfm before... is it like an opk, or does it give you more advance warning than an opk?
 
Also meant to say earlier that when i lost the boys the cramps and bleeding where unreal. I had a period for nearly 3 weeks and had cramps for further week or ao. I put that down to everything going back to normal.

Well it says on the intructions that a smiley face is a fertile day and a flashig smiley face is a really fertile day! My cycle is usually 28-29 days so I presumed I wouldnt ovulate till nearer cd14...

Used cheapies before and they never came up pos at all so I dont really know what is going on. It said that if my cycle was normal then not to start teating till today but im hoping that I havent ovulated before now and this is the tail end of it!

Wish I never tested now... I feel anxious haha! Xxx

I'd be willing to bet you haven't ovulated yet.... that would be really really early. It's probably more likely you've caught the beginning of it and will ovulate in a few days :)
 
I don't think you'll have O'd yet, you might O a day or so earlier than you thought though.

I'm wondering about temping but don't think I want the hassle. Like do you have to do it very single day lol? Can't you just do it Monday to Friday :haha:
 
Lol. That's exactly the way I feel! I set my alarm, temp, and go back to sleep. My thermometer saves my temp, and I enter it when I wake up later. I do skip the weekend right after AF unless I wake up early just because.
 
I don't find temping too much of a hassle...actually I don't even set an alarm. I pretty much always wake up once during the night between about 3 - 6 am so I just temp when I wake up. I know it's not as accurate because the times may be a bit diferent, but I can easily see the pattern on my charts.

You could probably skip the weekends sometimes, the only time you may not want to is around ovulation where it makes more of a difference in the interpretation.

I know this isn't 'best practice' as they say but I just do it when I wake up at weekends (temp that is not baby dancing :haha:!!), I'm still seeing a clear pattern and only had a funny few temps when I was really ill with a bug. I've quite enjoyed temping, feeds my need for information on TTC but it's also something I can't obsese over.

Bluestars - Sounds like you'll get a flashing smiley soon, exciting, you need to get onto the baby dancing!!

Ugh, don't get me started...
The girl in the office next to mine is 16 weeks. I should be about 21 weeks now :(
She got knocked up on her honeymoon, when I bet lots of drinking went on. Plus flying. And not planned. Life is most definitely not fair. I hear her make all her appointments and talk about it. I just close my door and cry. She walks past my door every other minute to get stuff from the copier.
The other day I heard her say how she got nervous when she wasn't nauseous one day. That just got the worst of me, I couldn't handle it.It's not fair we actually know the worst could happen feels like.
It doesn't help I couldn't stand her to begin with. She drags her feet and eats LOUD. Chomp chomp chomp... I close my door whenever she eats as well.
I haven't said congrats yet. I might never.
