TTC Girl - February 2012

...and I have TWO boxes of clearblue digital OPKs coming. Count 'em! TWO!

That will leave NO guessing work this time around for me!

And, I have to say, even though my husband thought I was being totally goofy to try this "science project" (what we are calling it since we're fine with another boy since we only have one child right now), he got really diligent about his "duties" and taking the licorice root and so on... it was helpful for him to 'play along' so well!

I'm here today as super Debbie Downer but I am so sad/mad/aggravated I am super crabby at home and I feel guilty. I'm still not sure what DPO I am but I feel very much like AF will be arriving shortly. Every pg test I take that is negative sends me spiraling to another level of depression. I know it's ridiculous to have thought I'd get a BFP right away but why let me get pregnant last month (in a big time oops) only to have a chemical miscarriage? Add that to my age and I have a lot against me. I had to go shop for my 2 yr old nieces birthday yesterday and no lie I almost completely lost it in Gymboree. The girl clothes slay me every time. I got the cutest lavender tutu with a beautiful little shirt that had small sparkly lavender butterfly wings on the back. REALLY??? Just put a knife in my heart ( can you tell I'm a drama queen)?

I obsess over every test. I take them apart just to be sure there is no faint line. I'll be in a straight jacket before maternity clothes!

I'm sorry to all of you that are feeling the same pain and frustration. I am keeping up with each of you and still holding out hope for a number of you. Just having a rough time sorry to be so depressing! Thanks for letting me rant!!

I am just curious who here is temping their cycles? I use a bbt thermometer and also a Clearblue Easy fertility monitor that I borrowed from a friend. I have been off the pill for four months (test cycles only, no ttc) and all four months the temping and monitor completely agreed on my o day each time. I know I tried using the cheapie opks when trying to get pg the first time and I did not know what to make of them at all. If I didnt temp I would be lost.

I just feel so badly for everyone who is being tormented by late afs and I wonder if they are not late at all, but rather o came later than usual. I dont think atomic checks in on this thread or she might be warning about stress making t levels spike. Temping doesnt work for everyone (the friend who loaned me her monitor could not temp because she works staggered shifts and never wakes at the same time). It is a bit of a hassle but it is sure worth it to be able to confirm that o actually happened.

I am sending lots of relaxing vibes to everyone. Fx for afs, bfps, and pink dust all around! And if your dh can throw in a backrub, even better! ::

Sis4O~ please don't be sorry, and I'm far from a drama queen-far far from it- and that put a knife through my heart. I WANT to buy that for a DD so bad its beyond words. I had high hopes for you after eveything being in the hopital with DS and all... but its not over right.

Auroara~ Fell better hun. I meant to add before I remembered your scan was tomorrow, good luck I'll be checking in.

Dramabird~ I temp- I don't actually know how ladies do without it. You can check out my charts below by my siggy. I was super sick in December thats why its all over the place in that month. I don't think its hard at all. The second I wake up, I stick it in my mouth, relax for a few minutes till it beeps (its nice to stay cozy in bed for a few mins) and then just put it in the FF app on my phone next to my bed. MY DS's also know I'm not moving till its done! They wait to have their tushies wiped in my bathroom till I'm done!!!! LOL

KraizyDaizy, not long now! I like the sound of your plan. FX it all works out for you. So it sounds like you, Amari and sweetsister are all on clomid. Anyone else? Sweetsister, a friend of mine needed clomid to get pg with her first baby. She had a girl, but only one! The sound of twins sounds great to me, but I completely understand why that could be a worry for some.

I am worried because i know it will be difficult not only the work part,but since this is my last baby i want to really take it all in you know and with 2 i think it might be difficult ..but i think if it happens then i will be totally o.k with it,my sister has twin girls naturally ,i really doubt i will have twins though.

Sis4o, I am sorry you are feeling down. It's not over till the fat lady sings, so try to stay optimistic. I know it is hard, but try. We are all rooting for you!!!

My DH is such a dorkfish sometimes, he just bought me OPK sticks for my CB monitor and not just the digital smiley face OPKs. Almost 60 bucks for something I already have!!! GRRRRRRHHHH!!! Men!!!!!!

[HappyLea]

ladies can i join you? The witch got me yesterday so now on CD2 and this will be month 2 ttc!

We did a very hard sway in Jan with herbs, antihistamines, rephresh and tbm splime etc but i think this attempt we will keep everything the same but drop the splime tbm and go for natural.
Think we will go for O+12 with DH abstaining.

This thread goes fast so i will do my best to keep up! Eeek

GL to those ttc and GL to those testing soon xxx
