I don't know =(
So much is going on right now =(
I cried all day yesterday from all this stress and today can't even eat (and it is my birthday too) I feel like getting in my car, driving away if it wasn't for my girls I would.

Been there! Not w/ swaying but I have wanted to just take off sometimes. They pass at least. If you are finding yourself really really depressed make sure you take care of yourself and see someone is necessary. It just nice to talk it out sometimes. That's why this groups is so theraputic.

OH hun, I am so sorry!!! I know how you feel, I feel the same way.....fat, awful, unattractive, etc....and it is so hard to focus on ttc and swaying when you have family crap going on. I have had months of being totally exasperated with it all. Just take a deep breath and do what you need to do to get through each day. And I do hope you at least had a somewhat good birthday! We are here for you girl, feel free to vent away.

I went on date night w/ DH Saturday and forced myself to do my hair, make-up and dressed nice. Took out DH's motorcycle too and had a really fun night. I needed it and feel much better about myself. I get sick of looking at myself in the mirror sometimes and then I know it's time to look nice or get my hair done.

Gee, can you tell I'm catching up with my 8 posts in a row or so. Begonia, this should make you happy, although the wit is out for a bit.

TTC5, do you think we could move these Cheer Squad threads to a private forum going forward. I'd hate for some of this to be posted for all time on a public thread.

Good point....maybe we can just talk about the private stuff on the Baby Blue Club forum?

It does help....I've started putting some more effort into looking good, not to mention went to Target and bought a few new cute things in my nice BIGGER size, for the time being. I justified it to myself by saying they could be worn in 1st trimester and after baby if I end up going back down in size....and, um, ever getting pregnant!

THANKS, ILuv....it was not the best Mother's Day, but I did spend the day thinking about how lucky I am to have the two sweet girls I have been blessed with. You know, when you go through losses, you grieve for a while and then have to start perking up and remembering what you DO have.

So sorry you got a bfn.....I wrote in another post about this.....but I was totally there when I first ttc, I thought it would be a piece of cake. I had never used opks or anything, so I was all thinking, hey, if I'm hitting the nail on the head and putting sperm by my egg, this should take no time. Well, being 35 (34 then!!!), that was a crock. Just be patient....there aren't many of us who had a one hit wonder, no matter the age! Seems to me like you are doing an excellent job of researching swaying and getting a great plan in place, so you will get where you want to be soon, I am sure of it.

Thanks Lola. I am for sure very thankful for what I have and am truly blessed. I find times like mother's day and just random things will make me sad, but I just have to acknowledge those thoughts, pray and about it and mourn again but not dwell too much. it's up and down and, it just sucks. Sometimes hit me harder than others, but we just have to keep on going. My other kids have been a great blessing and a lesson that life has to keep going.

I never worried that much either about getting prego. I take a lot for granted and have been learning some pretty hard lessons. Nothing is for certain. My twin is 16 weeks right now and tried for a year using OPK's. You just never know. FX this doesn't take that long. We'll see. I'm still totally gonna whine about it every time I get a BFN though.

ILuv, feel free to whine away, that's what we are here for, and I definitely do my fair share of whining (which I try to make up for by being positive after that!). I think at our age, which by no means is OLD, but, you know....we should just be thankful that we can get pg within a year!

LOL! it was hot here for a couple days and I had to put on maternity shorts. So Sad! I was going to hit up Target too for a couple of shorts. I tried on my Fat shorts when I was concealing my pregnancy with DS2 and they were too small. My fat shorts don't even fit. It's too hard not to laugh.

I did cry when I had to buy 2 pairs of jeans in a bigger size and higher waist to hide the muffin top after DS2. I told my husband it was like I had all of the "bad" parts of giving birth and none of the good. When you have a newborn in your arms it's like you think people go "oh, she just had a baby, it's ok for her to be heavy." and I didn't have a newborn.

Oh well, just part of the process. I need to go buy some shorts though. Good point about the 1st trimester. Glass half full, right.
