@nicolechris11212: @MrsMcD: right?? Please go on vacation, bitch aunt!
-
@Crystal:
-
@mrsmcd: @crystal: Yesss hahahaha. Bitch aunt go away!
-
@MrsMcD: OMG, that's hilarious.
-
@Crystal: no I'm with you! It's complete poppycock! Apparently my doctor needs to get all the results then sit down and go over them with me. I did get news that my endometrial biopsy wa benign for cancer so that's good even though I wasn't worried about that its always good to rule it out! I was able to move my appointment from Friday the 13th (like one of our birthday girls!) to Wed the 11th but that's the soonest we can do. Bloodwork will take a few days but I really wish I could know what the ultrasound found now. I guess it won't make any difference in the long run because it is what it is but if my fibroids have grown or there are more o didn't know about I want to know the location and size and how it will affect my fertility if at all. A lot of people conceive with fibroids as I did the first time but they can also cause problems. We shall see. Wish me luck. And there's the novel of a response you were hoping for right?
@MrsMcD: big hug. I'm right there with you feeling a bit sorry for myself then feeling bad for not feeling more grateful then feeling sorry for myself again. In the end I think so long as we aren't letting a mope drag on an on we are entitled to our MEH and here on this board we can be unapologetic about it!
@DCyogabee I would feel jealous too. You can feel happy for them and jealous. I'm jealous of everyone I see who is having their second already.
-
@HeartAbandoned: congrats!!
-
@MrsMcD: I used to like the name Florence! I think it's ruined for me now
-
Loved following the board from today. Y'all really are my kinda girls! So here I am ending CD 3 and for some reason, every single thing my husband does or says becomes the single most annoying thing I've ever experienced. In my life. I am literally having to live out the "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" rule. I feel like a beeotch! I'm sure it's just the AF hormones but I feel bad for him. He told me earlier "Hopefully I get my compadre back in a couple days"
Did I mention that this long term TTC thing can really suck?? Time to put my period panties on and deal with it, though.
-
@mrsmccarthy: hallelujah no c-word! Sorry you have to wait another week. You will have lots of good stuff to go over when you finally get in!
-
Officially in the TWW. On CD 15 now, usually O on 13 or 14. We hit CD 11, 12, 13, and 14. I'm pretty proud of that. We are usually lucky if we can get it done 2 or 3 times before O.
Lots of love to everyone! Hate seeing AF, but love that beautiful BFP on the FRER!! I hope to see more of those soon.
-
@organicmama: oh my god can I relate to that! Poor husbands! Why must they be so annoying!
@mrs. tictactoe: oh my gosh! Good luck honey! I feel real good for you this cycle! fX FX FX
I have a game for us. Name 5 silver linings about our babies taking a bit longer to get here:
I get more time with my son one on one.
I can enjoy my body being mine for a little bit longer.
Coffee, wine, sushi and vigorous activities here I come!
I have the possibility of a spring/summer baby. Cuddles without worry about colds! Plus I could even get a little Gemini baby like me!
I won't for one minute take it for granted when I get that BFP. I will know I really wanted it and it will be a thousand times more significant to me than if it had happened overnight.
Hugs everyone. We will all get BFPs! I know we will. I hope this board is on fire soon.

@MrsMccarthy: ditto everything you said. I really am appreciating my son so much because I realize how much of a miracle he is! And when I got pregnant last year, I was really nervous and not super duper excited at first, but now I know better.
-
@organicmama: I am so glad you joined our group, youre freaking hilarious.
I get like that with my husband too. I know it gets bad when I get mad (in my head) that he's breathing too loud or something else ridiculous. I just have to put on a fake smile , grab the wine, and try not to say something my non-hormonal self will have to pay for later.
-
@mrs. tictactoe: oooh! Great timing! FX!!
@MrsMccarthy: I'm really trying to come up with some silver linings, but it's getting hard. I just want a baby so badly... all I've ever wanted to be is a mom.
Silver linings that are applicable this month:
-Being able to eat and drink with abandon during vacation
-Not having to worry about being KU while on the 4 flights on I'm taking this month (though I'll have that bitch AF during one of them)
-I'll be less hugely pregnant over our hot hot summers
- I will appreciate this baby so much more, like you said.
- I can work on losing more weight -
@HeartAbandoned:congrats have a H&H 9 months
@MrsMcD: omg that us too funny lol
-
@MrsMcD: Hilarious

Good morning, ladies! My day started off with a bang when I got some random morning BD when I got home from the gym. Not that I can blame my husband - a little Lulu turns me on as well.
Looks like EOD is getting off to a good start and thank god, because I am *so* sick of *trying.* Blah. Silver linings:
- wine
- having the energy and ability to get my booty into better shape before stretching it out again.
- more time to enjoy DD without worrying about splitting my attention
- more time to find our forever house (we want to move before LO #2 arrives), which means more time in the city
- wine -
@septca: started out with a "bang"?
I'm thankful for...
-upcoming travel plans that would have to be cancelled if I was too pregnant
-being able to drink at summer gatherings
-not having to stress yet about how maternity leave is going to work
-we hope to buy a house next spring/early summer
-learning a lot more about fertility and infertility -
@septca: hahhahha I love it and I love that you listed wine twice.
@Crystal: hugs honey! I really hope baby is coming soon.
@sapphire: it is nice to have a better understanding of what it might feel like for someone to struggle. I think I have become much more sensitive than I was.
-
@MrsMccarthy: Wine is very important to me.
@sapphire: I hear you on the mat leave front. I am looking for a new job and am trying not to think about how that will work out with our TTC plans... but basically I decided that I am not going to worry about it. Things (job and bfp) will happen when they happen, and if they overlap in an inconvenient way? Well, then they do. A huge part of my job change is that I am looking for a place to stay for the next 10+ years that will be more flexible and family-friendly than my current gig. So if I get KU and they aren't willing to work with me on leave, then it's really not the right fit anyway... (Cart, horse.)
-
Good morning, girls! I had CD3 blood work this morning. I also sort of had a melt down last night after (1) learning someone in my close circle got pregnant who totally should NOT be pregnant; and (2) my dearest best friend sweetly told me I just need to relax. So that day didn't end up as planned but whatevs! I get to have one meltdown every so often.
@organicmama: Long term TTC really does suck.
5 Silver Linings:
- sleeping in with DH as late as we want uninterrupted
- free time all the time
- won't be too pregnant (or pregnant at all) to enjoy Maui wedding in December
- horseback riding
- clutter free house
- -
@Crystal: Amen to appreciating the baby more!
-
@MrsMcD: and @Crystal: This is completely legit. DH and I have several friends who all have kids right around the same age as DD. We'll be nice and just say that some of these friends (not coincidentally the friends who had just started TTC or had an "oops") have had a MUCH more difficult time adjusting to parenthood than we have.
-
@MrsMccarthy: Has Fertility Friend been helpful? I am thinking of joining to get a better hold on my cycle once it begins. It feels like I am starting over from scratch which is extremely frustrating!
-
@MrsMcD: Absolutely love this!
-
@ctegge0416: yes! I love FF. it's the only way I can keep anything straight.
-
@MrsMcD: yay for Maui in December! Very excited for you. We're planning on going to Thailand for our anniversary Dec/Jan. if I was already KU we'd have to cancel. We had planned to go to Peru in March and started TTC so cancelled...I was bummed then when March came around and no baby in sight ( we did go to NYC though). So no more holding back on travel plans! We'll just cancel if KU and if that's the case , I won't even care!
@septca: I hear you on job planning, it's really hard! -
@sapphire: I'm really hesitant to hold back on doing anything because of TTC anymore.
-
@sapphire: Go! We had a bunch of international travel planned when we started to TTC, and tried to stagger it so the places I wouldn't mind going while KU were last. Well, guess what? Our last planned trip came and went and I was still barren. I am sure glad we didn't cancel!!! (Also, I am really, *really* glad I didn't spend part of my first tri in India. Just no thanks.)
-
@MrsMcD: ugh! Pregnancy announcements are hard enough but way worse when it's a crappy situation. It's not fair! Oh and I am so with you on not avoiding things! It makes me so angry when I get BFN or a short LP and I gave up the things I love! Now I am firmly in the anything goes till BFP club.
@sapphire: I got pregnant with my son in Thailand! All the beautiful children running around waving at us and the sunshine and the beaches and the FOOD OMG the FOOD. It's a wonderful place. Where are you going? What part? If you have time catch a puddle jumper to Cambodia too. It's a dreamworld!
@septca: OMG India is hard enough when one isn't gestating. It a beautiful country but its so hectic is makes NYC look mellow.
-
Just popping in to lend my support for you ladies!!!!
I'm cheering from the sidelines again this month, still waiting for my cycle to return after my m/c almost 7 weeks ago. I'm getting anxious to get back in the game, even though I'm dreading jumping through the hoops of meds and IUI all over again.
Sending lots of
and to you all! I miss this group a lot (even though I know none of us really want to be here) and I can't wait until I can join y'all in chasing BFPs again.
-
@Sprite: I was just thinking of you! Sending you so much love! I hope you are pregnant again in a jiff!
-
@Crystal: Whats going on, doll? Did I miss an update? Are you testing today?
-
@Crystal: yeah sweetie! Is the witch here or are you still in the running? Either way I'm sending you a huge hug.
-
@Sprite: I'm anxious for you to get back into the game, as well. I hope you are doing good!
-
5 Silver Linings:
-white wine
-red wine
-finishing more renovations on my house
-try to lose some weight (even just 5 lbs)
-more time to pay my car off before I get my "mom" vehicleHas anyone purchased anything for their future baby? An outfit, toy, bib, etc? I'm guilty!
-
@nicolechris11212: over a year before my son I bought two onsies and a hooded towel that he did end up using!
Guess who went to the herb store and bought some fertility tea, some sage tea and an infuser ball? THIS GUY!
The sage is to help dry my milk up quicker.
-
@MrsMccarthy: hope it helps! I stopped cold turkey and only manually expressed when it was too much. I think I had the easiest dry up ever because it was like a few days of being uncomfortable, and then a week before I was all dried up.
So for the past two days I've wiped and had a red tinge. I'm crossing my fingers that everything's okay down there! Please little spermie, meet that egg!
-
5 Silver Linings:
* my body is MINE. No baby on my boob or growing in me.
* get to drink that wine
* spend time with my little man who is turning one soon
*not being sick while taking care of a toddler. I was sick for two semesters before getting completely tired lol
*excitement and preparing for a possible new baby.
Did I mention that this long term TTC thing can really suck?? Time to put my period panties on and deal with it, though.
