Wishing, wanting, waiting.....TTC for a year PLUS!

I'm somewhere after O. I'm trying the "I don't give a crap" method this month, so I really have no idea. But my tatas are getting a bit heavy and slightly sore, so that's a sign that I'm past O time. But whatever, it's not going to make a bit of difference, I'm convinced. Just waiting for January and my first I-word appointment. Till then, screw it!
 
Hi Girls just saying hi.

Soph I'm so sorry the witch got you.........: ( :grr:

Ejay-how is your vag watch going for the witch? She is really toying with me making each entrance grander than the last the royal hag. I hate her so much right now. I have af temp and af headache and af cramps this today and am due at least to spot today and no blood yet. Wait let me check again....I've literally been reduced to molesting my poor cervix every 10 minutes.

Squirrel-you are having a bad week : ( I hope next week goes really good and maybe you will book your cruise and have something to be happy about!!! I got in the exact same car accident as you about 3 years ago and even worse I was on the phone with my mom when it happened. I had a big old Jeep Cherokee and had an awful blind spot with it. The guy got out of his truck yelling about stupid cell phones (and I scared the crap out of my mum since I screamed when it happened and dropped the phone!). He was a lot nicer when I said he was right and it was all my fault and I was totally sorry and would make it right. Then everyone (DH-Dad) was mad at me for saying I was at fault. I was like, DUH! I'm glad your cars not too bad!!!

Well now I've forgotten anything else was going to write about. Lots of love to all you girls I really hope someone around here gets a surprise bfp super soon!!!!

Hopefully there will be no need for that appointment!!!
Sometimes I like the screw it method as well. TTC is more agonizing than I had ever thought it was! Hooray for sore (.Y.)'s!

I am a cervix molester right around af also. :( Its sad really, but ttc makes us crazy!!! :wacko:
Missed ya! Hope all is well!
 
Hello everyone! How are you all? Had a minute so I thought I would check in. Seems like most of us are in the tww. I am on cd30 which is a bit long for me, but I have had about three cycles around 32 days in the last couple years so this may be one of them. Although this cycle has been completly different than most. I usually spot almost every day after o and then my luteal phase usually last no more than 12 days usually 10, but this cycle I just spotted the first time two days ago and it was just a little and quit. Also, I could have sworn I o'd no later than cd16 or 17, but I thought much earlier, so that makes my luteal phase longer than usual. Idk though because I decided to quit putting my life on hold this month and let God take care of it, so no temping. I am not getting my hopes up though because tatas are sore and cramping yesterday just like af is on her way. Only time will tell!

Squirrel-I hope you don't have to go in January. I hope you get a BFP before then! I guess I will be making my first I word appointment for January also, but hopefully neither of us has to go through with that.

Yeah-talk about :wacko:~ If anyone had told me that the two years I'd be having the most sex of my life trying to make a baby was also the time I'd also be sticking my finger up my hoohaa (and all sorts of other things I'd never imagined) I would have gone into this a little more prepared. So much for my pre-ttc fantasy that I say to DH "It's time to make a baby isn't it?" and he says, "Yes-I want a baby too!" and I pee on my opk and say, "yay, it's time!" and we tenderly kiss and have sweet baby making love and then 2 weeks later I POAS and have a bfp!!! :dohh::dohh:

Been lurking a little on here and a lot on FB-just trying to keep sane.
 
bbdreams-hopes really high for you that af is LATE! That would be so wonderful. Nothing here just yet but my hopes aren't up b/c this cycle day last month the spotting didn't start until 4pm. I don't get it. Until I was 33 years old the stupid witch came every 25-27th day at 10am, full on, with cramps, headache and no games. Now she comes whenever she pleases however she wants to with no rhyme or reason.

Squirrel-I also hope you don't have to make that apt!!!!!! I pray for a miracle. If no baby soon I won't even be TTC anymore in Jan :cry:

Me too Titi! She always came like clock work until we started ttc and now I don't even know what is normal anymore! I think we all had that ttc fantasy that we would have a passionate night with our dh's and then it would all happen just like we planned. I had no idea I would be sitting here two years later an emotional wreck and no baby to show for it!:cry:
 
Sorry to hear you are feeling so emotional Ejay - I really hate that in the lead up to AF. Every time it happens to me now I think how emotional LuckyD was just before her BFP...

I'd really like to have some reflexology work done - maybe I'll look into it too.

Really glad to hear about your pony. When I was in high school I had a pony named christopher and I would hitch him up to my pony sized sulky and we would tear around the country roads and fields near my house. I miss those days!

I think the same about Lucky, but I usually know and the thoughts of a surprise BFP are only fleeting!

A good tear round the countryside with a pony is the best feeling in the world x

DH's operation went well this morning. We got up around 4:30 so we could be there by 6am. My aunt and uncle drove 45 mins to be at our house at 5:30 so they could go with us. That was my saving grace. I would have been an absolute wreck without them.

Poor dh is in a lot of pain. The dr gave his some pain meds that seem to be helping a bit. I feel really guilty because I made a hair apt for tomorrow morning (don't know what I was thinking). I've asked a friend to come sit with him because I really don't want to leave him alone. He is having a hard time doing anything by himself.

He has an apt Thursday for a follow up, and the dr mentioned today that he will have to have a SA done in 3-4 months. He will also start the clomid as soon as he feels better.

Thanks for all the good thoughts/positive vibes, they helped!

Fantastic Lucie, so glad it went well. Those good vibes are still comming your way x

Evenin' ladies!

Well my weekend started off with a bang! Went to the chiropractor, got a massage, then got into a car accident on my way home. GRRRRRRR I got cited for improper lane usage. I didn't see the car in the turn lane I wanted to be in and her car scraped down the side of mine. :dohh:

Fortunately, my car has what looks like mostly just her paint on it and no real damage. Hers... well.... There's a reason why steel cars are better than plastic ones! Busted bumper and quarter panel, and the hood no longer sits quite right.

I'll be less than pleased if my insurance rates go up because of this! This is the first accident I've ever been at fault in, and I've never had a traffic ticket before... Booooooooo to basically flushing $120 down the toilet! But anyway, super glad no one was hurt and it was minor.

OMG Squirrel, what a shock, glad no one was hurt, I am sure it shook you up. Promise to take care of yourself xx

Hey Tryfor, I really liked doing the temping, it gives you a bit of comfort to see things doing what they are supposed to.

Jaimie - your dildo cam sessions are very educational for me, fingers crossed for this cycle x

well I am just waiting for AF to arrive, been really down and grumpy today, nearly burst into tears at Costa coffee today over tickets for a Bon Jovi concert my sister was trying to organise.

AF due on tuesday, I just wish it would hurry up and get here.

A friend of my Mums is a reflexologist, I am going to give her a call next week to talk things throgh with her but she seems to think she can help, even if it's just to help me cope a bit better during the 1ww.

On a good news note, the Physio came to see Molly my pony today, this is about the fourth session, she has improved so much I can start to ride her again, just walking at the moment. I am so pleased, I have really missed our quiet rides out together.

Hope everyone is doing well xx

I hate the pre-af blues :( but just like Jaimie said, LuckyD was emotional and she got her bfp! Do you test before af is due???
Glad to hear Molly is much better!

Thanks Feeling a little better today although spotting so I know I am out :cry:

I know what you mean about the screw it attitude, January is the month, Docs have asked us to go back in January for hopefully a referral to a Fertility Specialist. Hanging in there with you x

No surprise BFP for me, started spotting today, so know I am out. Feeling ok though, have dosed up on bach flower remedies so managing to hold it together.

The ttc fantasy, I would give anything for the snuggle up and chilled out babymaking followed by a woops I'm pregnant !!!

AF should be here in full by probably Monday, started spotting today, but feeling ok, my new project for this next cycle is hopefully going to be reflexology, in an attempt to ease the TTC pressure a little. Will keep you all updated

Aw Ejay, I'm so sorry. I woke up to spotting this morning too. When none came yesterday I ALMOST started to get my hopes slightly up. So tired of this.
 
Thought I'd check in ladies.

Yesterday did not go well. Poor DH is in so much pain. He is not a wimpy guy, so I know it must be bad. I don't think either of us thought it would be this bad.

I felt really bad because I had an appointment yesterday morning that DH wouldn't let me cancel. I was afraid to leave dh alone so I had one of our friends come over and hang out with him. There are moments where dh is back to his old self, like when I called to check up on the guys and when I asked what they were doing, dh replied "we're looking at the pictures of the glee cast from GQ".

DH also had a fever for most of the afternoon yesterday. It was really scary. It went high enough that I called the after hours number and spoke with a dr on call. He said it was too early for an infection. We were able to bring his temp down to a normal one by bedtime.

Titi and Ejay, sorry AF seems to have gotten you.

I hope everyone else is doing well!

Oh hun, really hope your OH starts to pick up soon, this all sounds horrible :hugs:
 
Lucie, I hope and pray for you DH to get better. Hope you are well too! :flow:

Ejay and Titi, I am incredibly sorry for af. I am so sick and tired seeing you girls in so much pain every month. Why is it so hard for such wonderful and inspiring women to have children, I ask?.....I will start praying for our group of women every sunday at my new church. I used to invision our group during yoga,when I was able to go, to get their bfps.
I am so sorry and hope you are doing something to make yourselves feel better. :hugs:
 
awww thanks. I'll start being better to myself tomorrow. This weekend just hit me really hard-I actually didn't really even get off the couch today. It's not like me to get so down but I've truly about run out of hope. I dunno why such a normal, easy part of nature is impossible for us. I wish I trusted the reason more. Thanks for your kind words-they really do help-I would be mad going through this all alone.
 
Titi, again I am sorry. Do you have a bd plan that you use while ttc??
 
AFM, I am cd23 today and 5dpo. I thought I felt some mild pain in my (.Y.)'s last night for a little bit but I have been known to imagine things related with ttc! I have inputted my temp this morning on FF and my temps (sometimes) remain steady, I wonder why, if thats a good sign or a bad, or nothing but a temperature....:shrug:
We have been really really busy the past week or so doing everything imagineable and now I am exhausted. DH and I play monopoly on the wii before bed to spend some competitive time together after our very busy days. I have so much more to do today,its terrible.....I just want to sleep :sleep:

I got a pm on fb from Emily!!! :dance: I missed her so much!! She is still on her vacation in Thailand and having an amazing time and eating amazing food and misses us all!!! She will be back wednesday from her trip and sadly, back to work thursday. I cant wait to hear about her vacation and see pictures! She also O'd early this cycle and is where I am at again for 2 cycles in a row! She is 6dpo today!!!
 
Titi, again I am sorry. Do you have a bd plan that you use while ttc??

This cycle we DTD at least every other day for about ten days in a row right through my fertile period (with pre-conceive +) and b/c of hubbys motility issues our dr. is adamant that it has to be "butt up face down" the whole time and stay in that exact position for 1/2 hour afterwards so that is exactly what we did. Over the last two years we've tried different plans-SMEP for a few months, softcups, BD every day, BD every other day, legs up, baking soda finger, pretty much everything imaginable. We've even tried "just having fun".....nothing seems to help! I don't think we can get pregnant!!!!
 
ooooh titi :hugs: I hope thats not the case. I want nothing more than all my girls to be lovely and knocked up!!! :)
 
Titi - I am intensely bummed for you. I'm very upset that it is taking so many wonderful women so long to conceive. The clomid makes AF so much worse emotionally ~ it really sucks. It gets your hopes up higher and drops you even lower. Super crappy. I really feel for you, being in that place where you feel like it is never going to happen for you. I know that is our deepest, darkest fear and we are staring it straight in the face. I want so much for us to just be able to drop all of it - the hopes, the fears, the resentment - just accept our circumstance and find a way to peacefully abide. It really is only our own mental state that makes us so miserable, and we are responsible for our mental and emotional state. Hugs to you Kristi.

Ejay - did you actually get AF or do you just feel like she is about to hit?

I have to say, I did rather enjoy dressing up as the witch last night : P it was empowering. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right? ha!

Squirrel - I can't believe you've had a second accident so soon after your other one! You must have paid your dues - you'd better be accident free for years after this! I'm really glad you are ok. I'm so sorry though - it must have sucked.

Howdy TryFor! I take it you got a nice clear temp rise to pin point ov? I'm glad your timing is back to normal and that FF gave you a nice high probability : )

Love you ladies so much - so grateful to be sharing this experience with you. Of course I wish we didn't have to go through it, but at least I'm in good company.

Had my second scan today - follies are nice and ripe so I'm giving myself the trigger shot tonight for insemination on Wednesday. I am working hard at staying indifferent to the outcome. If this cycle doesn't work we are taking a break in December so as to avoid getting cysts.

Lots of love to all you strong, deserving, and eternally hopeful women.
 
yep AF hit in full today, I always feel a bit better a day or two in to AF, then last few days before I am due are really tough. I have been taking maca for the past few cycles which really helps to keep the moods swings a bit more stable.

Titi I am sure that you will have the wonderful family you truly deserve :hugs:

Tryfor - glad you heard from Emily, looking forward to having her back. I think the holiday idea sounds the best plan.

Jaimie - thanks for your kind supportive words. Although I really want us all to get the hell out of this TTC section I am really pleased that we have each other to provide support and understanding.

feeling in need of something chocolaty and very high in calories, yum yum
 
Hey girls! I am in a suprisingly good mood depsite the fact that after my last post I went to the bathroom and got an unpleasant surprise. Anyway, I just found the funniest article and it is exactly how I feel; it made me laugh out loud. You girls should check it out. Here is the link:

https://www.alittlepregnant.com/alittlepregnant/2010/10/baby-face.html

If it doesn't work you may have to copy and past it in, but I found it on the Shady Grove Fertility Clinic Facebook page. Tryfor and anyone else on facebook that doesn't mind pm me or let me know your names or links to your fb and I will add you.

Anyway, I was pretty bummed about af despite the fact that I said I was just gonna not worry and know that God has another plan, but I am just so dang jealous of all these pregnant people and their babies! I feel like handing out flyers that say: PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! Give me your baby!!!! I want one!!! Or maybe I could just hang them around some high schools and maybe I could help a young girl who is thinking of an abortion???

Anyway, just some crazy thoughts that run through my head!

Jaimie-Good luck!
Ejay-Sorry she got you... I wish we coulda chased her away this month.
Titi- I am right there with ya! I am beginning to wonder if I can even get pregnant. I just wanna see 2 pink lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
