February TWW Thread - Page 8

[SparkleMaman]

Deli The entire TTC process when it doesn't go smoothly and quickly is rotten and the TWW is so, so hard!! The rollercoaster is draining. I feel tired of working so hard at this but every time I think of giving up, I think maybe just one more try! I too feel so very sad imagining DD as an only child. And she asks constantly for a sibling, which is even harder. She has gotten old to enough that I've had to explain when I have AF that I am sad because I'd like a baby and having AF means I am not pregnant. She's been so very sweet. Last week when AF arrived she asked if that was why I looked sad. I said yes and she said, "That's okay. I don't need a baby brother or sister. We'll be okay!" to comfort me. And then began asking again for a baby a few days later. *sigh* Fx for you!! Sending you lots of

Blonhrt So anxiously awaiting your testing!!

deli21 and sparkle - Hugs for you, mamas. I wish I could ease your anxieties.

I definitely get that logic. A big part of me agrees but then there's the part of me that doesn't believe the BFN and keeps hope alive and somehow then I feel even more let down when AF arrives. Weird as well.

Vent away. That's why we're here! Sorry you're having a tough day. This whole process is just so stressful.

Aww. That is just so sweet. It's nice you can be honest with her at this point. My friend gave me a couple of picture baby books in the 2WW a couple of months ago since she just had her baby and said we would need them soon. Then my pg friend was here so we were reading them with the kids, hers included, and now my kids keep asking to read them. One is a Dr. Sears book and is actually really good but it totally makes me sad every time I have to read it. I think I might have to hide them after bedtime tonight. My son keeps talking about when we have another baby and I keep telling him I'm not sure if we will. 

Doing ok over here. CD5 and AF is exiting the building. Starting a string of nights tonight. Fun times. Did just manage to nap for over 4h, which I often don't manage to do when I'm switching to nights so that should help. I told myself today that it's good I didn't get a BFP last cycle since I bet I'd be feeling crappy and a week of nights at 6 weeks along would be rough. So there. Bring on the positive thinking! LOL. Starting to get that when am I gonna ovulate, let's get the show on the road, feeling and I have a while to go still. Blech. I guess nights will help that time go by. DH hates when I'm on nights since I'm gone at night and then totally useless 90% of the days (he's a SAHD). Poor guy. At least it's just a few days. The wonders of our life, I suppose! 

Hope everyone is having a good day!!

Big to you Deli. TTC really wears on women. And the longer it goes on the more intense it seems to become. This is so much more difficult than we've ever been lead to believe it would be and I'm sorry things are so frustrating right now. I'm hoping still that this is your cycle. Biological clock is nowhere near accurate, biological timebomb is inching toward an appropriate description of what this feels like...

Sparkle: That's so sweet about your DD. Really made me smile.

katie: The positive thinking should definitely help with the "Hurry the hell up!" . What's your profession, if you don't mind me asking.

Ahhh ladies, I'm going back and forth about whether or not to keep temping. 11 DPO today and the weekend is just around the bend, eep! I think I'm going to continue but the nailbiting until I see the temp each morning is getting as bad as the fear of testing!

[Blonhrt88]

Wow, there is so much going on here. I think I read everything, but I'm having trouble remembering it all!

Where is everyone at in their cycle?

[SparkleMaman]

CD 5 here. Waiting to O

[Blonhrt88]

So sparkle, you think your ovulation is close to v'day ?

[mamacatsbaby]

CD 22 11 DPO for me.

[Renaissance31]

CD 24, 7DPO... Going crazy wanting to test already. Lol I know I'm gonna breakdown and test on Friday already. I have never tested early before and I am curious to test daily and DH told me to get the big pack of Internet cheapies (he's big on the volume discount thing! Lol) so I figure why not. I mean... Might as well use them since I have them! I just hope I can stay positive thru however many BFNs I end up seeing! I seriously hope this cycle is the one. For so many reasons... But kind of funny... Last night DH and I were looking at my chart and realized if I am not pregnant then AF is due on valentine's day. Yuck! Lol just a silly reason to stack a little more hope on this cycle! But whatever! Lol

[Renaissance31]

Duplicate post. Ugh. Dumb iPad.

I hear you about temping. Waiting to see it drop totally stresses me out so I'm not doing it anymore! I'm a physician, still doing residency. So I get to work a ton and weird shifts. I love my job but I can't wait to not work so much!

Me too!

 I think mine will be the 16th or 17th so maybe some V-day BDing will get us our BFP!! I'm sure DH won't mind. :)

I love that your DH is on board with the cheapies! LOL. FX this is the cycle for you and Valentines Day brings the thought of a new person to love in your family and not AF!!

[Renaissance31]

Katie- thanks! Ohh a new little person to love would definitely be a better way to spend v day for sure!

[Renaissance31]

These double posts are killin me. I gotta get off this thing! Lol

[Larski]

So many people close to knowing!  Fingers crossed, mamacatsbaby, deli21, mamablue, blonhrt!  Am I forgetting anyone who is close to the end of the TWW?

Blonhrt, no signs of AF yet.  But I have been regularly POAS'ing and got another BFN this afternoon.  I agree with you, mamablue--I think that all this early testing will make it easier for me if AF comes.

Hope we see many BFPs soon!

[mamacatsbaby]

Love the frugal DH Renaissance! And no, V-Day is certainly not AF friendly lol. I'm so going to be stalking this thread for your test updates .

katie: What a rewarding career it can be to delve into medicine; glad you love your job! I get curious about people and was really wondering about your schedule and the way it flips around so much so thanks for indulging me . Here's to some major BFP's made on or around V-Day! (<- - - - - - your favorite hard cider of course )

How many DPO are you Larski?

[Blonhrt88]

Mamacats, your getting close! I assume your waiting until after AF to test or what?

Katie, I guess I know what your v'day plans are! Hahaha

Larski, bfn's suck but not many women get early bfp. It seems on these boards a lot do, but it's not normally until your period is already late that you can plan to see one! Good luck!

Will you be testing with me on the 8th if AF doesn't show before then?

[jjh5351]

I just want to know or not! Hi everyone, I've kind of been MIA and it seems like there are so many new people so hi! I am one day from AF supposedly showing and had a bfn the other day. Light cramping and a horrible taste in my mouth are my only symptoms so who knows. I hope you're all doing well!

[Larski]

Good luck, jjh!  I'm right there with you! One day until AF--eep.

[amycvincent]

I'm CD19 and 4DPO. Also due for AF on V-day! Hoping for a BFP instead. I'm holding out testing until then...hold me to that!

[mamaBlue]

So many of us are getting ready to test! Odds are good that at least a couple of us are pregnant. Slammerkin can't be the only one. Thinking happy thoughts for all, no matter what this month reveals!
