@Ashleyf21: Oh, not crying wolf - just playing it safe! There's nothing wrong with that. xxx
*hugs*
-
@jaguar: At least you know your body is on track and AF will be here in a couple weeks, right? I am still...waiting...
-
@mrs bunchy: Cutie! You are not a dorky dog mommy! I would do the same thing...that's a long time for a puppy to be alone. I only work 7.5 hours each work day, so my dogs are ok. I think they just sleep.
No AF here either...I wish she would hurry the heck up. I even took a HPT today. Hoping against hope it was negative and it was. DH and I have not been that careful.
Truthfully, I haven't even begun with the shopping but I have so many ideas. I think it will be fun. Because this was rambly, I too, will add a couple of pics of my goofy girls.
-
@simplyfelicity: Omg look at them! adorable!
Georgia with our fur pup, Spencer.
-
(It's hard to see, but he is licking her and she was cracking up!)
-
@jaguar: Oh my gosh. That is so adorable.
I have a soft spot for Golden Retrievers. More importantly, your daughter is so sweet looking!
So, how are you feeling these days? Last week or so was a really dark time for me and I feel like it has lifted. I am still sad but more disappointed and less crushed. Anyway, I hope you are doing well. -
@jaguar: Oh I see it! Haha. If you look at my top pic, Ellie is laying on top of Lucy's leg and is forcing her to cuddle. She looks so dejected. I feel like I shared this one before, maybe, I just think it is so funny.
-
@simplyfelicity: I'm ok. Just still struggling with dealing with (and being the bigger person) my SIL being pregnant & seeing her belly grow every time. It's been so much harder than I thought it would be.
Otherwise, just impatient (as always) - how about you? x
I love your pup's names, too!
They're beautiful. My kitties snuggle for about three seconds, and then it turns into chase-mode.

Thank you to everyone who commented. I know I shouldn't blame myself and I wouldn't blame DH if there was something going on with him. It's that I let my mind wander and think that DH could have another child right now if it weren't for me. I've started taking the birth control which just seems so counter intuitive with what we're trying to do, and I've just been feeling a bit sick. I don't take to hormones all that well and I just hope this period goes by quickly.
@Tidybee: Thanks for posting that article. There are times that I just want to tell everyone I see about what's happening, but then I think that no one wants to hear sad news like that. Blah!
@simplyfelicity: Thank you as well for your kind words.
@jaguar: Georgia is so cute, and that picture is adorable! Hoping the secret clomid works out for you this month!
@Ashleyf21: I'm very sorry to see you here, but welcome!
I know I'm missing people, and I'm sorry about that. I haven't been back all weekend and I can't catch up! @ValentineMommy, I know you commented too...thank you
Hoping AF arrives for everyone who wants it to arrive!!

@jaguar: I gave been doing ok, much better than I have in a while. However, I was telling a couple people at work that my sister is due with #4 tomorrow (yikes! I am so excited) and they were saying all this stuff about me having a baby, that I am probably pregnant but I can keep it to myself as long as I want, what are our plans...etc I was trying to change the subject but it didn't work so I eventually said," I really don't want to talk about it" and left. I felt bad and called one of them and explained that we have been having a rough time.
NEVER EVER EVER in my life will I ask a woman when she is planning on having a baby or insinuate in anyway that she should. Okay, rant over.
-
I *think* AF might be making an appearance...please, please, please. I can't explain it, but I think I will feel emotionally better to turn this corner.
-
@simplyfelicity: I'm sorry they kept prodding and saying that stuff. It seriously infuriated me when people asked when we were having a baby...and it still does now. People don't know when to give it a rest. I will never ask when someone is going to have a baby or when a sibling is coming. You have no idea what someone could be going through, and it's such a pain point for those that have had a miscarriage or are just plain having trouble conceiving.
-
@simplyfelicity: That is so insensitive. It's awful, but I've been coming right out and saying I've had 2/3 losses when people push the issue. It puts them in their place. Maybe it will teach them not to ask that again to some other poor woman that's suffering.
-
@Tidybee: No one has actually asked me since the loss (although I had a couple people ask while I was pregnant.) I feel like I'll just start crying if someone asks, so I kind of want them to so they'll feel awful and not do it to anyone else ever.
@simplyfelicity: I'm so so sorry those women pushed. But also, fingers are crossed so hard that AF is on her way for you!!!!
@jaguar: I'm so glad I never see my SIL. I force myself to ask her how she's feeling (by text) every 2-3 weeks, but mostly I pretend she isn't pregnant. So sorry that it's a constant reminder for you. Hugs.
@Ashleyf21: I'd say welcome, but that seems wrong. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope all is well physically.AFM, I have some serious BD plans for DH this cycle. I'm pretty sure he's excited about it.
-
@2PeasinaPod: @Tidybee: @Jess1483: One of the people was actually a guy I wouldn't want to be personal around, so I just tried to be tight-lipped. Plus it was in the teacher's lounge. I just tried to brush it off. ..I have been feeling pretty good the past few days (considering) so I just tried to let it go. Based on my response, though, I am pretty sure they learned to leave well enough alone.
-
@simplyfelicity im so sorry! That is the worst when people don't know anything and their questions trigger a nerve. I feel like this happens to a lot of us who have had miscarriages or take a long time to get pregnant. Sometime when people ask me when my husband and I are going to start trying I want to be like "I had a miscarriage" but I wouldn't because I know they have no idea that their questions are hurtful. I'm sorry you had to go through that, its so hard. Just know that they didn't mean to bring it up to hurt you (even though it did). Hope tomorrow at work is a better day
-
@simplyfelicity: love them !!!!
-
@simplyfelicity: still no AF!!!!!! I'm getting frustrated now! Arg.
-
@2PeasinaPod: *big hugs* We're always so hard on ourselves, it's only natural - just try to be kind. xx
@simplyfelicity: I hope it's here for you soon!!!!
@Tidybee: I'm pretty quick to nip those conversations in the bud too. If anyone starts questioning how long before we try again, I'll tell them straight up.
@Jess1483: Thanks chick. I always feel bad for struggling so much with it, but I think it's just going to be one of those things. Woohoo for sexy time!
-
@jaguar: spencer
I love these people names for pets! We had bob the retriever growing up.
-
@Tidybee: I agree with u. I have been saying the same about loss. It makes it so they stop asking; because we all know that gets old
-
@mrs bunchy: Bob is a GREAT name for a Goldie!
Spencer is TOTALLY a Spencer. He was <<--->> THIS close to being called Jack, but then a friend named her baby Jack, so it got a bit awkward. -
Hey Girls.
I took a bit of a break over the weekend because I was feeling rather funk-y. I wasn't as emotional as I expected, but it definitely hit me harder on Sunday than yesterday (which was our EDD).
DH did a great job of figuring out what we would do and we ran some errands in the morning and visited a winery nearby in the afternoon. It was a nice chill day, but also a nice date-day so it wasn't super overwhelming or emotional.
But for some reason I slept like crap last night (possible because I needed a nap after drinking wine all afternoon??). bleh.
-
@simplyfelicity: Still...blah to them. You shouldn't have to feel like you need to explain yourself either when people are asking rude questions.
@jaguar: Thank you...I always feel like you put things in such great perspective.
@mrs bunchy: Bob...I love it! Hoping AF shows up soon!
@MaryM: Glad you had a nice day with DH. My DH and I were just talking about how we've been sleeping like crap lately. Must be something in the water...blah!
Today is my birthday and I walked into a sh*tstorm at work with one of my vendors. Talk about a bad way to start the day! Though it's really looking up...people I haven't heard from in a long time are wishing me a happy birthday and it's so nice to hear from them! LO will be 2 next Friday, and I can't wait to spend the day with him. Both DH and I took the day off
-
@2PeasinaPod: Happy Birthday!!!
-
@2PeasinaPod: happy birthday!!!
-
@MaryM: So glad you guys spent it together and as a date-day. That's really sweet. xx
@2PeasinaPod: That's so nice of you to say! I usually feel like I'm barely holding it all together - so I need to follow some of my OWN advice, I think!
And.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
-
@2PeasinaPod: Hope you had a great day (after the initial craziness)!

I decided a few weeks ago to sign up for a healthy eating/fitness challenge. It's called the 12WBT (12 week body transformation). It's full on! I started officially on Monday... and it's tough, man. Exercise 6 days a week, healthy eating, etc. I'doing a 10km running challenge, to work my way up, which would be awesome. (I can run a slow 5km right now, after doing C25K.) Can't hut to have something to take my mind off a few more weeks worth of waiting... *sigh*
-
@jaguar: You're awesome!
I'm very impressed over here!!!
-
@FliegepilzHut: Don't be! I'm like, 20-30kg OVERWEIGHT so look like a dying walrus on the treadmill.
And it's only been 3 days and I'm craving a cheeseburger, man.
-
@jaguar: You can do it!
Still very impressed!!!
-
@FliegepilzHut: Thanks! I am SO freaking hungry!!
-
@jaguar: I'm so impressed! Good for you! I get scared at the thought of doing one of those!
-
Thanks all!!
@jaguar: I'm so proud of you. Running is HARD, and I AM a runner! It took me over 10 years to say that I was actually a runner, and I started at a dreadfully slow pace initially. It doesn't matter what you think you look like on the treadmill...what matters is that you're on it, and you're doing more than a lot of people do!
I think the birth control is starting to take effect. I'm anxious, jumpy, feeling like a crazy woman, and just all around tired. I have to keep telling myself that it's only a month!
-
Hey ladies! I just wanted to pop in to say hi and that I haven't forgotten you all
I haven't posted on this thread for a while because I guess I'm at a stage where I feel more mad than upset about it all right now. It brings out a lot of feelings in myself I don't like so I have been a bit quieter. But I am still reading here and rooting for you all. Big hugs to everyone, wherever you are in your healing journey -
@Tidybee: Aw, thanks chick xx
@travelgirl1: I understand -- you just know we're here whenever you need us.
@2PeasinaPod: That means a lot! I don't FEEL like a runner. Just a girl who desperately wants to get her anger out somewhere, you know? Running is good for that. It hurts, but I feel so much better after. This program I'm following has three running days (one day sprints, one day distance/time trials, one day long run) and then strength in between. I've been good with the run days, but I am SO weak with other stuff.
Hope the birth control isn't too bad.
-
My chart got crosshairs. I guess I'm in a TWW now! (Just hanging out for AF... so that I can get this next FET underway!)
-
@jaguar: Way to go!!! I am doing Celebrate Recovery at church to invest in more positive things.
@travelgirl1: Whatever your feelings are, we are here for you and a support but I totally understand wanting to step away, too. I have definitely been angry.
@2PeasinaPod: Happy belated birthday!!! Here is a birthday puppy! -
@jaguar: YAY! I am still waiting for AF...almost 6 weeks, right?
I'm very impressed over here!!!
