I am always home or at work... you are not alone

I've been just lurking for days now- I've been miserably depressed. Also, I hate never having time for personals... I know I want a child now, but TTC has become yet another source of disappointment in my life. I almost want to give up, but I feel compelled to continue.

My DH's boss commented to him about my weight the other day... classy. He's kind of chubby to be calling me fat, and I'd guess my body fat % is lower than his, but he's a man, and therefore allowed to be fat... *sigh*

Some positives to balance my b*tching:

I was helping a newly preggo woman at work the other day (Babies R Us- just about the worst place to work just after a m/c...) and she didn't know much about how hospital birth works... so we chatted... for almost an hour By the end, she was on her way to Borders to get Henci Goers "thinking woman's guide..." and was going to switch from her OB to one of the CNM's at his practice... she's decided circ is wrong, and is going to do some reading on vax...

Changing her mind almost makes up for the copious amounts of sposies and formula I sell each day :

sarahjen - I've always thought that getting your mind in a good place helps your body follow... But, it can be easier said than done. s Take up all the room you need here.

lilyflower - My DH had that same problem the other night. It is no fun at all.

crystal - I can't wait to check the thread tomorrow! Don't be lonely! I am going to go get in bed and watch a Harry Potter movie. I'll have my laptop beside me so I can obsess over all your charts all night...

I told DH that I may have o'd today. I am always weary of talking too many details about TTC because many times he has told me to "just relax" or "stop obsessing". I don't think I've heard that since the m/c.

Today, he took the news in stride, and said, "Well, tomorrow is a baby-making day..." which led to us discussing whether you should keep to every other day during o, or bd 3 days in a row. DH surprised me by saying, "everything I've read...". He's reading about this stuff?

Anyway, he is of the opinion that sticking to every-other-day is best. I put the other option out there, so I'll just have to wait and see if I get "attacked" tonight or tomorrow. I'm still not completely convinced that this is o... It would really suck if this cycle turned out to be useless.

Hey Angel - I'm home 99% of the Friday nights. Usually I'm playing with ds or making dinner but tonight I'm feeling lousy, crappy, icky : so I just caught up on the board. I'm sorry you're feeling lonely. Big hugs to you tonight... And fingers TIGHTLY crossed for tomorrow morning!

Welcome to Kdlizmama and Dana - This place is a terrific source of comfort, hope, and great information. Hope you only hang out 1 month, though!

Lily - Do we have the same dh??? I'm sorry for the awkwardness and the stress that comes with the bd'ing. I am very familiar with it, although this last month has been a bit better. If it helps, my OB told us to just do every other day from cd 8 to cd 20 even though dh sperm analysis was "normal." Every day would just stress us both out so we don't even try (except for the days right around + opk)! So I certainly feel for you two, and send a big hug.

Steph - I agree with everyone that the first test looked positive, and so you probably o'd on cd 11. And I had missed the photo before. You are beautiful! (And so young. )

Tenk - Deployed to Venezuala for the summer. Wow. I would be stressed out just at the idea of it... but then I'm not married to a firefighter or law enforcement person. I hope, hope, hope, hope, hope you are preg well before then and you can have a happy and healthy and PREG summer no matter where he is!

OK, now I'm heading back to bed for more rest. I feel nauseous (sp?) with other tummy problems too. If it was 10 dpo, I'd be excited but at 5 dpo I know that it is just a lousy stomach bug! Hugs to all...

[angel1895]

lol... obsess all you want darlin'... I certainly dont mind

I look at all your charts.. but not on a daily basis... all the shortcuts are in a folder labeled "chart stalker".. lol

hi valarie!!! I dont know if you caught it or not ... but I said that dhs aunt is newly pg.. and guess what her name is... valerie... not the same but close... maybe this means its just around the corner for you

I'm glad I'm not alone... I feel so trapped in my house with no car... I barely make it out of the house but two times a week.. grocery shopping.. and church... *sigh*...if only I had a life

[ELKMama]

Board was busy while I was writing!

Valarie - Hugs (I'm too tired to find the symbol!! What a wimp I am!!) Anyway, I'm sorry you are down. Sounds like your job would be VERY challenging for a ttc'er. And your dh's boss sounds like a real jerk.

Steph - Cool that dh is thinking about it, even if you wish he'd go for every day right now. Maybe he got your message. :

[Taradactyl3]

Just got home from dinner out and caught up. Chatty today, I love it.

I also love the talk of positive thinking. I'm reading a book called the secret. There is a movie too. It's supposed to change your life. There is a thread on MDC about it in spirituality. I tend to get depressed and think negatively so it will take some work for me.

I can't wait to see your test results in the morning Crystal. I know you are doubtful but I can still hope for you.

My DH has the oppisite prob as you guys. He wants it all the time and sometimes inadvertently makes me feel badly like I don't satisfy him.

Also, just for another perspective, my OBGYN said that if there are no sperm issues than DTD every day is not a prob. In fact he told me hitting the day of O is more important than giving the sperm a day inbetween so he said DTD the three or four days right before O if poss.


Talk to you guys tomorrow.

Looks like DH is gonna go out with friends tonight, which I assume means drinking and him falling asleep the second his head hits the pillow. So every-other-day for me still. Is it lame that I am in bed at 8:30 pm on a Friday night? I am so tired...

~Valarie~

Just saving one poor little guy from circ is a great! I know that leaving the hospital with a new boy not circ and not vax makes for a wonderfully happy baby. My first babe was no so lucky as I was much younger and less "thinking" at that age. I regret. But, I learn and learn!

Punquin, I would be willing to bet money you already O'd. Just relax and let the little eggie stick! : Plus spotting on that date? Great!!!!!

Terad. - I am going to get the book!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to pop in and say Happy New Year.

To think I can catch up is crazy, so I think I may just start from here.

Hi to all I don't know. My name is Becky. Dh and I have been TTC #3 since a vasectomy reversal in October 2005. No luck. But we are still chugging away. I have taken a few months break because I just couldn't take it anymore...but I think I am ready to rejoin the ranks. I know I technically qualify for the over 1 year TTC thread, but I just can't make myself go there. Hope you all are OK with me coming back and hanging around for a while.

Stephanie: Good to see you. So sorry to read about the mc.

Alright, gotta go to bed. Have to go to work early in the morning.

Good night

[angel1895]

hi pycelan... I recognize your name.. cause everytime I see it I think pica.. like where the women think they gotta eat clay and crap... but anyway... HI

I think its good youre trying again... blessings

[susykat]

Yes, I heard about Julia Roberts being pg with #3 she said in an interview that she tried for a year with temping and looking at the calendar as when to BD, then they pretty much gave up and stopped charting and volia (sp?) she's preggo!

By the way my temp dropped today we'll see what it does tomorrow

And I'm home alone on a Friday night. I just got home from work when I found out a co-worker is preggo...

[angel1895]

sorry katherine that does suck... itll happen for you tho.. I'm sure

[danaalex]

I feel kinda crappy today, which could explain my temp, but doesn't explain the opk. I wasn't even going to start peeing on opk's until cd12, but I bought them early and couldn't resist.

Welcome Dana! I just moved to Loudoun County...

Ashburn...

Becky! I qualify for the 1 year thread too, but I am comfortable here. Besides, I am starting over in a way this month... So good to see you, though of course we'd both rather not be here exactly.

[ItyBty]

I'm floating between both threads right now. It's really only this last month or so that I've started to come to terms with the length of time we've been trying. 17 months. Ugh. I'm thinking we should start a "TTC #1 for too long" thread.

[danaalex]

HUGS!!!!

Sorry Crystal.

[HopesMom]

Hi ladies,
Just dropping in to say hi.
Our hard drive died and so I've been offline for nearly a week. Boy that was hard!

Anyway, no news here.

Lily and all the other ladies in the midst of BDing. Other than clomid and acupuncture the one thing we did different the month we conceived is continuing to have sex for two days AFTER my positive OPK. Usually we burnt ourselves out and got in a session the day OF the positive OPK and then just gave up. I don't know if it made the difference, but my heart says that the acupuncture calmed me and the continued BDing was what made sure the sperm were there. (The clomid we can blame for the two eggs!)

I'm thinking of everyone and hoping good things for you!!!
