***Bitter Sushi Ladies November 2010 Thread***

[rcr]

Welcome to the November thread, ladies!!!

 

This is a thread for those who have been TTC for a long time, whether 6 months, 12 months, or more. At this point many of us are at or past 1 or 2 years, 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, all things considered we tend to be a little bitter sometimes. So read with care . And due to everything, our emotions run a little raw like sushi. Too many cycles of BFN and CD1 sushi & sake to console ourselves. This TTC business is something that seems to "just happen" for so many...but we just can't seem to get it right. So this is where we can be together, share and express anything.

Happy November BSLs.

I guess links to charts don't copy when you copy and paste, huh? I'll copy the links over sometime today.

Sweet bee - nice chart.

AFM - finally I am dop. First time since July! I think I O'd on Friday, so I am 3 dpo. We had decent timing - BDd on Wed, Thurs, and Friday. I had planned on BDing on Sat too, but three days in a row was enough for me!

[miriam_bat_avraham]

Thanks for the new thread, rcr! I like the red Sorry I never officially wrapped up the October thread... I was out late doing Halloween stuff. My costume was a t-shirt with the word "COSTUME" on it. I went as an ironic hipster. AKA, I made my costume an hour before we left. My husband went as Sue Sylvester from Glee it was amazing.

CD 10. I almost lost my Clomid last night! Well, actually, I *did* lose my Clomid, and then later I found it. Lying in the street. But it was in its little package, and I took it anyways. Ha! Take THAT, dignity.

Wednesday I have my ultrasound to look for follicles, bloodwork, etc etc etc ad nauseam. I am so tired of TTC. I don't care anymore. I'm just going to go through the motions this cycle and see if I can't get me a baby.

[Maurine]

Thanks for the new thread! Will you update my blurb when you have a chance? "TTC since August 2009 and moving on to IVF after 2 failed IUIs."

[Kinza]

Thanks for the new thread and congrats on O'ing, rcr! (That looks funny, but you know what I mean. )

[lavatea]

Thanks, rcr!

Ha, ha, ha, mba. I'd pick it up and take it, too.

AFM - 4 DPO. Waiting is torture...trying to relax. But I really don't want to start all over.

I would have taken it too (even if it was not still in the package).

rcr, all you have to do is go to the old front post and press the 'quote' button, and copy and paste that, it will get all of the links so you don't have to do them all xo

Oh, duh. Thanks Beloved. I didn't have to go and change the colors and stuff again either!

Hi Ladies!

Thanks for the new thread, rcr! I'd love it if you would add my chart, when you can...

...and if anyone looked there, you'd find that today is cd1. Boo, scary. I have been spotting for a day or 2 (Never did without progesterone... it's like it takes awhile for it to drop enough for full flow..)

I should get the call this afternoon from the RE's office (which I have visited exactly once in June) to let me know if they will give me a clomid script. (I ovulated regularly on my own, so who knows...)

[rcr]

Janger - what is the link to your chart?

[jenger]

rcr Thanks, Mama!
Here it is - http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/jenger

Done.

And, crap, I guess we are the biter sushi ladies this month . Does anybody know how to change a title of a thread? When I click on edit, it only lets me change the post.

[Taxlady]

I don't know how to change it, but I think it's funny and I didn't even notice! Thanks for the new thread RCR!

Here's to lots of BFP's and good news in November!!

Thanks!

Maybe PM a mod?

I have this fabulous image of us a biters... Angry, 'barren' women, foaming at the mouth, ready to bite the next pregnant lady that flaunts her belly in front of us....

[rcr]

I just PM'd the mods for this forum.

I have the same image as you, Jenger., and I'm not too far away from fitting that image


ETA - ok, found out how to change a thread name - we are back to being bitter.

Excellent, rcr!

Now we are back to being bitter... the image returns to grumpy, 'barren' me, crying when dh's cousin w/4 kids who she can't take care of (really, they live with the grandma!) announces she's pregnant, or listening to the friend of a friend talk about feeling her baby move...

It boggles the minds, doesn't it?

Yea, that kind of stuff is proof that life is unfair.
