@mrsjyw: sorry about your slight hiccup on your road to baby. I hope it resolves asap , which I'm sure it will!
-
@MrsLilybugg: thank you! honestly, I'm more afraid of the unknown than anything, it's actually an infection related to his internal reprodutive region... we're just keeping our fingers crossed that these meds will work the trick and that it's not something serious...

How am I feeling? I am driving myself legit BONKERS. In the span of one day, I managed to convince myself that the ache in my side yesterday ranged from burst cysts, to an eptopic pregnancy, to who knows what else I concocted. I also began to ask myself "what if all this is for nothing and I will never see a BFP"?
And this is one month in.
My personality is such that I obsess and overanalyze and worry about things that are irrational. I wonder if I can emotionally handle this!!! Oh and on the way to work, I found out via facebook a wonderful girl that I know is pregnant. I was happy for her and jealous too.
Today, I vow not to read into things, to try to relax and just enjoy my marriage and my life and not stress. I'm taking a yoga class in the afternoon, that should help -
This is our first month TTC and my first month off bc, so we are taking things slow and easy. But my baby brain has kicked into overdrive. I catch myself thinking things like, "Maybe my sore back means I am pregnant!" It's not out of the realm of possibilities -- but I also realize it's not super likely. I am waiting to POAS until next week. Then I will know if I have to avoid the spiked eggnog at Christmas.
-
@mole: Good luck!
@MrsLilybugg: Good luck too! It always spikes jealousy in me when some one announces.As for me. I think I may have found a little bit of calm in this for the moment. I am at peace that it didn't work last month and I will be ok if it doesn't work this month. I have been trying to do as much as possible to keep my mind off of things. Getting the puppy helped a lot too. He keeps me from sitting on the couch too much... Have to chase him around and stop him from eating everything! lol
-
I'm also in y 15th month of TTC and I was an emotional wreck for half of it because I felt as though I will never get pregnant. We just moved halfway across the world and so we haven't been keeping track of ovulation, since we're trying to settle in.
-
I'm freaking out a bit in my 16th TWW...but first with meds and procedures and stuff (IUI). I've been all over google checking symptoms, etc. I've considered testing at 7 and 8 dpo which I know is beyond crazy. Trying to distract myself for a few more days. You'd think I'd be good at it by now.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Good luck!
-
I'm at 8 DPO today.... so kinda in the 'wait and see' part. I'm really avoiding and symptom spotting and that seems to be helping. My temp is still up so that is somewhat encouraging, but again, I'm not reading into anything. I did that last month and when AF came it was really hard.
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/34511aMrs. GG - I'm still hoping for a BFP for both of us this month! When can you hold off til for testing do you think?
-
@Mrs.VW: I don't think I'm going to be able to wait long this month, but it'll depend if my temp stays up and/or if I have any symptoms. If I spot, I won't test.
But the plan is Thursday, 10dpo.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: I don't blame you
I think ALL of us are hoping for a BFP for you! How is your chart today?
-
Still good although I had to yell at DH for getting up at 4:30 to go to the bathroom. I take my temp at 5:30!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Ha! Isn't it funny the things that are issues when TTC :)) Luckily for me I've been actually sleeping up until temp time. That hadn't been happening all last week. My temps are holding steady, no up, no down.
-
BD'ed last night. My phone app tells me today is my O day. But, FF is telling me that I O on Friday. I think FF is the accurate one, because my temp this am was at my usual 96.9/97.
We'll be BDing all week, then it'll be the dreaded TWW.
-
I feel like you know what! DH and I were officially going toTTCnext year which is lit just around the corner. So this month we were like "ehhh whatever". I'm on my 3rd cycle off BC and 2nd charting. Last months chart was pretty perfect and about as normal as could be. Last month I o'd on cd 12. On cd 19 and still have not, but have been cramping and feeling like I "should" be for over a week. Temp has spiked then next day plummeted like my body is trying to a few times now. I just feel so "blah" and hope its just my body still adjusting and getting back to normal. Ugh!
-
...and have another friend with another pregnancy announcement. Ugh! We O'd a few days ago, can't test for a little over a week, so I am well ensconced in the TWW.
-
I'm feeling frustrated... another month, another batch of time waiting for what feels like FOREVER for ovulation to NOT happen.
-
We just started trying recently and I got my very first BFN. Feeling kind of bummed.
-
Exhausted and irritable and wanting coffee but there's no caffeine in the house. Yesterday and the day before, I forgot about the whole tender-boobs-after-ovulation thing, so it just made me frustrated with my hubby. But, I suppose exhaustion and sore boobs are good signs, since I didn't have mittelschmerz or much EWCM this cycle. Hoping I ovulated and just missed the signs.
-
I'm kind of feeling like everyone is passing me by while I'm here in the same spot. I think that sums it up pretty well. New Year's Resolution is to stop thinking about babies (while in a Clomid IUI cycle). Wish me luck. I'm also only charting in the middle of the month.
-
I'm feeling hopeful right now thanks to EWCM lol. I guess it's the little things in life
-
I'm feeling excited
We didn't get a BFP on our cycle 1 (Dec 2011), but with the new year, we're both excited to actively try for the next few months...
-
I was really optimistic this month. I did not "think" or expect it this month, but after a cpl months NTNT and then this past cycle watching it so much more and what not. Thought things were looking good. We went on vacation and I knew by the time we got back I would be LATE if AF had not arrived. I was unable to chart while on vacation because my sched was so messed up I was not able to take it at the same time and didnt feel it would be that reliable anyways. So I really didnt know. I had NO AF signs at all. I was really starting to think I was going to NEED to test first morning back home....but then all of a sudden on the drive back home (2 day drive ugh) AF came. It finally is setting in more today, and feeling more bummed now. But onto the next cycle.
-
I just O'd so I'm in that stage of the cycle where I feel pretty good. We know that we did all we can do and now it's out of our hands. I'm debating maybe not temping during the TWW, at least until 10 DPO so I would have a heads up if AF was on it's way. We'll see what tomorrow morning brings if I bust out the thermometer or not
-
I'm ready to try again at the end of the month (when it's time). It's frustrating working away from home a lot and missing out on BDing during potentially sticky cycles and having to wait until the next one when you're home to try again. It definitely prolongs the process even more when it doesn't stick...
