~*Bitter Sushi Ladies - APRIL*~

post #1 of 462
Thread Starter 
welcome to the April thread, ladies!!!!

most of us are former ttc 6+ month ladies. And at this point, many of us are at or past 12 months, many have had losses, many are dealing with various forms of infertility, and some are just in a waiting period until they can ttc again.

the name? well... We tend to be a little bitter sometimes. So read with care . And due to everything, our emotions run a little raw . This ttc business is something that seems to "just happen" for so many... But we just can't get "it" right. So this is where we can "be together", share and express anything.

some of us have gotten a little quieter lately... There is only so much you can post in the "i want to be pg, but i'm not" category. However we are here in spirit and most likely lurking!


trying to keep up with past bsls who have made it to the glorious other side? here is the current thread to stalk bsl grads in i'm pregnant. May we all move on to the i'm pregnant thread and eventually need a life with a babe thread!

ok ladies I think I did it correctly...i can't figure out how to make the link to the march BSL thread say "here" instead of the long address... so if anyone feels like sharing.

and of course, if anyone needs updating let me know

ok ladies lets go make some 2011 babies!!!

and Jessica_s, i did update you and I hope that's ok. let me know if you would like things to say something different.

Thanks for the new thread!!!
post #4 of 462
Thanks for a nice shiny new thread!

We had a lovely, bittersweet memorial day for William yesterday - capped off by the start of AF. Of course. Perfect cherry on the cake of my day. A BFP this month would have been just too perfect. Couldn't have that!

back to the drawing board.... *sigh*

Thanks for the new thread Lapis! Good Job!

MI

Hope everyone has a wonderful fun-filled weekend!

Actually looking forward to having sex just to have sex this month. I don't think I remember what that's like...

MI: big hugs.

Nanette: have fun! when i first started wanting babies... late teens/early 20's i thought the ttc sex was going to be so friggin' awesome and fun and romantic. sadly, i was mistaken. really the only reason i want those twins is so i'll never have to have ttc sex again. yeah, have fun nanette!

I tell you what, if I ever have non TTC sex again, I'll let you know how it was
post #10 of 462
Hi Ladies-

I am checking in, after not really being around for a while...(Ok, a little mopey lurking too )

I've been pretty down...

I was referred to a fertility clinic by my local clinic - they say they can't do anything for me (though I am pretty sure they can test for progesterone!)

It really bummed me out, and I am not convinced that we will go, as it take 2+ hours to get to any clinic, and it costs ooddles of money.

Anyway, I ovulated yesterday, I think, based on opks, cm, and ovulation pain... 4 days later than usual!!! Arg! I think it is all the Chinese herbs my acupuncturist/friend has me on... This is my last chance for a 2010 baby. When I started this, I had no doubt that I would have a 2010 baby... Now...

Maybe I will temp again next month...

THANKS for the new thread!

And thanks for reading my selfish ramble...

(I will admit to still enjoying ttc sex, however )

You still have 2 days to get a BFP, hide it in a plastic egg... and toss it to your DH... then say HEY! Thats not the ONLY egg you caught...

Now that would be cute I know it is still possible, it is the afternoon, but I have held my pee all day.

I guess it is af, bc I am feeling ultra emotional about all of this now. I'm ok alot of the time, but when I see how many people have graduated and I am still here through all of the new names (hey, that BelovedK, she's a fixture on the TTC boards ) I am struggling to stay positive, I am waiting for DH and tired from work. I am actually exhausted (like pre af) and the weepiness (pre af) and crampiness (once again af) I wonder why I went to the DT today and bought 3 tests (only 3)

Maybe I'll wait and test Easter morning if af stays away, why do I put myself through it?
post #14 of 462
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. On the first page, can I have my children's ages changed? They are now 10 and 15

I feel the same way about myself sometimes, however what's even worse is that they don't even know who we are

lapis: Thanks so much for this beautiful April thread. to the 3 May edd's. (also to get the "here" to be a link - highlight it, click the little link icon above the window and a box will pop up - paste the link addy into that box - does that make sense? I'm reading over it now and not so sure. Let me know.)

BelovedK: I am right there w/ you - feeling like a fixture here. Still thinking ++++ thoughts for you.

MP: Love the egg idea. Very cute.

I def enjoy not-ttc sex better. Since we've been having alot of that in our house lately - I'm not sure I want to go back to the stress of ttc sex. There has to be a way to combine the thrill of the not w/ the routine of the trying, right?
