February 2ww

[yogi&booboo]

Mayra, you and your girls are beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pics, as I find myself wondering about faces...it can be easier to connect to someone that way. I wish you all the best in your journey and will be praying for you guys. Hope to hear from you again!

GL to you Leebug and Lyngostar!!

I will be joining the 2ww yet again in about 8 days.

MIka,

I really appreciate your wonderful thoughts!.

After these past two My DH is devastated, and I am in shock on how hard he's taking it. He did not talk to me all day Monday and is extremely hurt that I took it so lightly when I got the positive pregnancy and period shortly and now he's begging that we don't stop ttc and is pretty much throwing in the towel as far as swaying, he said he wants to do the minimal as possible regarding swaying but wants to continue trying. I am so sad he feels this way and im stuck because i know weight loss for me and exercising sways girl . I know that for fact because all of my girls were conceived during times where I was in the process of loosing weight and exercising.

What would I do in this situation? I was so overly joyed when AF came because I was ready to get back to my skinny self, but my DH actually cried to me in disbelief that I did not care. How do I go on from this? I feel that I am taking his dreams of being a daddy again away. A friend who also tried motivating me back in exercising and harassed me about going back to the gym as she has been my gym buddy and she was making comments & telling me that my DH does not want to see me fit as he was jealous and self conscious about himself and she suggested i tie my tubes behind his back and not have anymore children, but I come to find out she's desperately trying to get pregnant and I kinda think she was a bit jealous of my ttc and she doesn't want me to beat her to the punch. I'm in a pickle now, and I am still determined to get the DH in shape, but what would I do for my self? Should I lie and go back on birth control pills or keep trying? My heart tells me yes lets do this and my mind says no lets get in shape . My DH has also been telling my little one to tell me that she wants a baby brother. I am so torn right now.

Hi ladies! Anyone a temping expert? I thought this was strange & was wondering if anyone could help?Does anyone know the normal range that temps can drop during the 2WW & still be in the normal range?I find it strange that yesterday & today my temps were 98.26 &98.25
The day before these temps it was 98.44.ive been taking 100mg of progesterone for 4 days & I though it was odd my temp would drop @ all being on the progesterone.I'm either 6 or 7 DPO today

I was thinking if it was ID it would be more drastic & only one day.I had this when I got PG in November.

Leebug, temps vary from one cycle to the next. I've been doing a lot of research on temping and it's been helping me the last 2 cycles. One thing I've noticed is that if temps go down and continues to go down, it's usually not a good sign. Most charts I've seen where there was a positive pregnancy had temps that dipped and then went back up and stayed up. As long as you stay above the control line though you should be fine. GL to you!

Yogi, wow I'm so sorry to hear this. I really sympathize with you. The reason I started trying again is because my dh really wanted a 3rd child. I know he really wants a son and my dds want a little brother. I was fine with 2 kids and really didn't want the stress and disappointment of trying for one gender and not getting it. It's too much pressure. Plus, I was working out a lot and my girls are more independent so things were great. But, I gave it A LOT of thought and ended up agreeing that now would be a good time to have another baby (I'm 33/ dh 35). I made peace with having another daughter and had to have that talk with dh to make sure he understands that we may not have a boy. I have been swaying, but it's getting difficult. I am not a big eater, and I don't really care for meat. I put on 5 pounds and the BFNs I've been getting the last 4 month is taking a toll.

I do think you should talk to you dh, be open and honest and don't do anything behind his back. Really think about the decisions you make...ask yourself if you would really be ok with not trying again. Also, you mention health reasons...I think you should bring that up to your dh and tell him that you are worried about that and want to focus on getting healthy first. Also, you probably shouldn't share any more info with your "friend." And don't take anymore advice from her or anyone who doesn't have your best interest at heart. I feel your frustrations though! I'll be praying for you guys.

MIka,

You are amazing with your advice and thank you for understanding. So after a cup of Joe and lots of thinking and talking, the DH said that he wants to go on. This cycle I stopped temping as of AF because during every TWW, it would make me super stressed. He insisted that he is absolutely ok with another girl if it doesn't go the way we planned and he said that at least this time around he will be at peace knowing he and I did our parts. I am definitely taking your advice and I will no longer share anything with my "friend".I agree with your that these dang diets are taking a toll on us. I enjoy meat but not as much as I enjoy dairy, milk, and lots of super sweat stuff .

There is no doubt that this time around I am also going to take it easy and not write any dates down or or temp in any way. I will just go by the CBFM monitor peak days and im done. So far all months used, I ovulate on or the day after my second peak. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts! You always have something wonderful to say and keep my hopes up. I will be praying for you too!

Thank you Mlka1104. I'm trying to hold of from testing again till Friday.

Lyngostar- I will be 12 dpo tomorrow and testing. Super nervous. This was my first cycle on Clomid and I really felt O, so I feel like something was working. Crossing my fingers, it has been a long ride.

Good luck to everyone on here! I really hope we can get some BFP's. Yogi - happy you decided to stay in!!

Mika-thank u! I never get low temps this early in the game.I cant be more than 7DPO & the shortest luteal phase for me is 12 days.guess I cant do anything but wait for tomorrow.

Yogi-i envy u.I wish my DH would want another baby like that! This is our 3rd try & when it gets close to the time of testing he rips into me & tells me how much he DOESNT want another child & hes only doing this to make me happy & because he agreed to it.it hurts me so badly & makes me just want to give up
