TTCers Unite! ~a place to chat~

[gracefaith]

I picked up an early responce hp test tonight at Target. It was first response and they were buy one get one free- so I have two tests. I am going to test either tomorrow or Saturday morning (10 & 11 dpo) but if I don't see anything I am not going to get discouraged (as it's still a bit early). So I would try again maybe on Tues or Wed (if AF hasn't shown up)

But really I feel no symptoms so I really don't think so

Awww don't be discouraged! 10DPO is really early to feel anything.

Tell us how the test went!

Well I didn't test I don't have the heart for a BFN today. I'm so darn grumpy and tired and blah that I didn't think I could handle it today. So I will probably test tomorrow or Sunday, depending on my mood

Someone here sent it to me

I don't blame you. I never have any heart for seeing a BFN either. Plus, if you wait until you are actually late or close to it, you get a nice dark line, which is far more encouraging than a squinty 'is that a line?' line.

PS Fishy, I was SUPER grumpy and negative the month I got pregnant. I was so sure I wasn't. So maybe you're negativity is a good sign?

Are you having any other symptoms? Fatigued? Bowels stuffed up? Do you smell different?

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

Well I find that I can smell "down there" really strong- like I were on my period. I'm also super juicy down there too. Like it feels as though AF could show up now- but it would be a little too early for that

Haven't been paying attention to my pooper- Although I had a bit of diarreah this morning (but that could have been last night's Taco bell ) but no other BM since.

 

[gracefaith]

LOL. Well, you're ready to be pregnant, that's for sure. Not shy about discussing bodily functions at all.

One month TTC officially over. AF came yesterday morning . Was really hoping to announce a pregnancy at Christmas, but, I guess it's just not in the cards this time around. I mentioned to my friend that it sucks because being pregnant for Christmas would have been so much fun for everyone. She reminded me that being pregnant would be fun no matter what time of year. Sooooo true. I hope I don't forget that in the frustration of TTC. One good thing comes from my period being on time though, I now know for sure that my cycle is back on track after coming off the pill. Many women have to wait months before they have a normal cycle, I'm blessed that mine is back to normal so soon.

Not pregnant yet, but still sooooo blessed!

I so much want to start TTC, but my worklife is so demanding and stressful I'm not sure that it's going to be possible. I want to do God's will, and at the moment it's my heart's desire to have a baby - does that mean it is God's will that I have a baby? How did you other ladies decide? I was getting all sorts of scriptures about having a baby - and I thought it meant I was pregnant - but I wasn't. And if I were to get pregnant - I would have t leave my job because I don't have time to eat and drink or even sleep properly doing this job. But I can't leave my job till the end of April. So muddled at the moment, but I know that I realy want a baby, and when my husband decided we should stop TTC because of my job I felt a horrible sense of loss and grief.

Sorry to be morose - I just don't know what to do. Am a bit mudddled.

Well I tested this morning- BFN There wasn't even a little bit of color in the window (except for the 1 line)

How discouraging I am going to start charting my temps this month and see how it goes :'(

I can relate to how you are feeling. It's not that my work is stressful in and of itself, but, because of my physical condition, it makes me very stressed out. (I have a disorder where I suffer from chronic fatigue, headaches, pain... and more) I know that when I am pregnant, I will probably have to leave work due to health issues. This can put tremendous stress on my husband as he will be the lone supporter for who knows how long. Perhaps your husband is stressed out at the thought of being the sole provider for the family? Is your job bringing in a good amount of money right now? Have you talked to your husband about this feeling of loss and grief that you experienced after deciding to stop trying? Pray about it, make sure your husband truly knows how you feel and I believe God will let the both of you know whether the time is right.

I can understand the emotional aspect too. We have only been officially trying for a month and when my period came I was pretty much distraught the whole day. It's evident that you really want this. I pray that God gives you the desires of your heart, in His timing and that He grants you patience and peace in the meantime.

Be blessed!

I've started charting my temp too. It's apparently really important to have been sleeping for at least a full 3 hours before temping. Also, you are supposed to take your temperature as soon as you open your eyes. Every minute you wait (or if you move the blankets or get up) can really change your temperature fast and you won't get an accurate reading. I have been "prepping" the temp station on my bedside table each night before I go to bed. When I wake up I grab the thermometer, and when it beeps I switch on the light. I hate having to be so structured... but... it's for the greater good right?

This is the first monh we have BD'd in the morning, which is supposedly the best time for the spermies to reach their destination.

AF is due 2 days before Christmas. Argh....that's gonna suck big time.

Well, you still have a little time. The egg might still be floating around looking for a place to land.

I actually think charting is kind of fun. You may also want to try this plan I found online.

My period finally started. At least, I think. It's weird, but apparently having a m/c is the same as having a successful pregnancy. It changes your status quo. I'm undecided about whether I'm ready to try again. (I just like hanging out with you guys.)

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

g-dawg. You can hang with us regardless You start trying whenever you feel is the right time to try again. Let you and your hubby grieve the loss of your baby and when the time is right you will know it

 

[tigercub]

We like having you hang out Gracefaith

In other news...Things are starting to heat up here in Australia ....I cannot find a long-range forecast for Christmas but the mean maximum daily temp for where i live in Brisbane is almost 30 degrees (celcius) while maximum daily temp for December is 39.4 degrees. With extremely high relative humidity (in the 90% region)
Our cyclone season runs from December to April so we sometimeshave rain to cool things down (for about an hour)

So Christmas day can be stressful enough for me...I really really hope I don't have to deal with a BFP at the same time.

Prayers that this month will be your BFP!!!

I am considering overseas travel if we don't fall pregnant in the next 12 months. We are financially in a position to do so now, but might not be after a couple of kids.
