Hellobee Boards

I haven't joined one of these threads before but would like to start. I wasn't sure I'd be needing it because my period I was expecting at the end of December was a freaking week late and I had tons of pregnancy symptoms, but all the tests were negative and my period did unfortunately show up yesterday. So that puts my test date at the very end of the month, but hey, it's still January!

Estimated O Date: Jan 17th? Unless my cycle gets weird like last month - we took a break from ovulation tests last month, so I'm not positive when I ovulated.
POAS/AF date: I always end up testing early out of impatience, so realistically...Jan 29th?
Cycle #: 5
Chart link: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/wonderstruck (I just started using this, so I still need to go in and fill in my temps for the last couple of days.)
Trying new this cycle: Temping. We've been using ovulation tests but I really want to try temping too. I'm also about to start the 30 day shred to lost some weight since I still haven't lost enough from my son.
What are your New Year’s resolutions? DH said his New Year's resolution is to get me pregnant, haha. Mine are to exercise, be more consistent about filling out my budget spreadsheet, and to start going to bed at the same time as my DH instead of staying up way too late.

@wonderstruck: welcome, and good luck!

@wonderstruck: Welcome!

8DPO and I've been having mild heartburn which is not usual for me. Trying not to read too much into it, but trying to stay hopeful! I want to test early but I don't have any cheapies and I'm trying to hold out til my test date which is the day AF should be coming.

@Boopers: it didnt start till later but heartburn was a HUGE pregnancy symptom for me. FX for you doll!

We had a fun night planned with friends tonight but it kind if turned onto a miserable evening. Two of the wives are very pregnant right now and everything was all about them (and I am super excited for both of them and they both had rocky roads to get there) but mid evening I went to the restroom only to find pretty heavy spotting. I came back and they are chatting baby hiccups and nurseries. I just felt so broken and left out, it was so hard not to just break down in tears. I realized that officially I won't be pregnant at the same time as my closest friends, at best we will be able to announce right after the last one has her baby.

My husband was trying to be sweet but he just doesn't get it, eventually he suggested that I go on a diet to see if that fixes my cycle. He fails to comprehend that even if that is a perfectly reasonable idea that his timing was quite off. This whole thing just stinks.

Thanks for listening to me vent, this process is just so hard and isolating.

@Cole: oh boy. That's a rough night. Poor thing. I'm sorry.

New to "The Bee," and cannot believe I get to jump in here already!

What are your New Year’s resolutions? This is a big question. I've been wanting to TTC for over a year, and hoped that by March/April 2014 hubs would finally be on board. He turned to me on January 1 and gave me the green light, so I'm rushing to read everything I can about making this happen-and quickly (ha ha, like I have any control over THAT)! I guess my resolution TTC-wise is to try and enjoy it as much as possible. There is so little I can control, that at this very early stage of the game, I know that it should be fun! FX that it works soon-ish .

@MrsMccarthy: Thx!! You, too! I'm powering through TCoYF and looking through my 5 past months of cycles for insight.

@Cole: I'm so sorry, friend. Virtual hugs being sent your way.

I'm going through the same thing with someone I know- it's so hard to be so happy and so sad at the same time.

@wonderstruck: ugh, that's the worst too.

my DH had the same resolution, lol.

@Mrs.Panda: Bahaha that totally sounds like something my DH would say!

@wonderstruck: @Crystal: @Mrs.Panda: sending big hugs to you ladies!

@Cole: aww that just sounds like the worst! I hate being around pg women right now because Its just a constant remindee where as normally i might forget about it for a bit.

@Mrs.Panda: SMEP is hard work. We only BD every other day.

@Cole: Ugh, that sounds like my SAME story. I have my best friend who is 17weeks along, and my other friend who is in the process of ttc. I know my other friend who is ttc will become ku...because isnt that how it always is? I actually started seeing a therapist because this ttc/getting ku buisness has been absolutely CONSUMING my life. I have hit depression because it seems like EVERY ONE of my girlfriends are getting ku, except for me. Its heartbreaking to not be the one in there talking with them and being with them in these wonderful times. I was told to confront my best friend about it (the one who is prego) and for the longest time I have said no. I wont rain on her parade. Until finally, it just came out. Easy peasy! I told her I was seeing someone because I was just having a REALLY hard time with ttc and getting ku. My husband and I are dissapointed we cant be on the same journey as her and her husband but we are absolutely thrilled for them. She completely understood. There was no feelings of "please dont talk about being prego to me because i emotionally cannot handle it" but just an understanding of where I was coming from and how sensitive I am. I know it seems impossible to share your feelings like that, but I promise you...its usually easier done than said. Hang in there! I am feeling quite relieved and a lot less exhausted after seeing this therapist. Its helping me get through one day at a time

@newatthis: I'm firmly in the drink till it's pink camp.

@littlek: Ha!
@holisticmama: I felt those benefits last night. Super relaxed and didnt feel bad for the prego next to me who had been staring at my delicious drink all night. We're all envious of someone

@Cole: I think we've all been there. I know it's how I've felt for the last year! Lol. Sorry you're feeling this way God bless your DH for trying but sometimes we just want them to acknowledge that it sucks and have a pity party with us.

@Cole: I'm sorry.. Hugs..

@littlek Thx!!!
