TTC Pink Chit Chat Thread - August

[zanacal]

Hi ladies, how are you all? I'm not so good today, I have raging PMT It's odd because I don't usually suffer too much but my poor children had to put up with such a mean mummy today. Before I put them to bed tonight I basically got really cross about absolutely everything and started shouting and stomping about and in the end they were all crying The worst thing is that I knew I was being awful but I couldn't stop myself.

It's been a really weird cycle for me this month. I've had EWCM and cramping throughout my whole LP, which atomic thinks might be down to me taking Vitex and Saw P throughout this month - and now this foul mood!

Oh, and Saturday night we're going out - proper out - and that's the day AF is due! I have a new dress (I never wear dresses but of course now I'm a bit thinner!) and I'm getting my hair cut but I'm going to feel fat and bloated and smelly! Can I just say again?!

With all that weight you lost, you're going to look like a hot mama, af or no af, zanacal! I know what you mean about the PMS, though - between being hungry all the time and altering my body's chemistry with supplements and diet + having all 3 kids home all day every day for the summer, I feel like I turn into the rampaging Mom from Hell all the time. My poor kids!

Considering all we do (raising families, working, swaying) I believe we are allowed to have an 'off day'. Heck, i'm surprised we don't have 'off' months. I was such a b#$%h to my hubby today it was sooo uncalled for. I told him he was being condescending because he wanted to turn the air conditioner down while we were at work. Crazy. Just crazy. So you're not alone!

Welcome FullSimpleLife!

[zanacal]

Thank you guys I feel a little better today - but I'm still starving lol!

[XXdreaming]

Sorry you were having an off day, I think us screwing with our hormones can make us very moody, I have never had pms before but for the past couple of days everybody has been getting on my nerves lol maybe that meanss all this hard work and suffering is working lol

I'm feeling a little down today, ladies. I just got an email from my former BFF (she now lives in a different city from me so we rarely see each other), and she's 12 weeks pregnant. If I'd gotten pregnant my first cycle trying, we'd be due around the same time. She knows we're TTC and even knows about the swaying. Last I talked to her, they were taking a break from TTC after many months and some expensive medical intervention. Needless to say, I'm thrilled she got an oops pregnancy after so long trying (that's the way it often happens, isn't it), I'm just starting to feel like it's going to be a long road ahead for me before I get that BFP, especially as I'm probably going to have to take next month off if we don't get the BFP this month.

[zanacal]

Aww, {hugs} mocha, I know you're happy for her but I still think it's understandable to feel bad about the news given that you're trying to get pregnant too. Just think, as we speak a sperm may already have met an egg and be looking for a home for 9 months in your tummy

I'm a b!tch again today afterall. Tomorrow I have to go to a meeting for work and just now I was thinking that I'd really like to call in sick and stay in bed and cry all day. This is so not me! Like XX said, I'm sure altering my hormones isn't helping, but I'm also feeling so overwhelmed by trying to decide what to do best 'sway' wise. I sure could do with a glass of wine tonight - only I stuffed my face at lunchtime so I don't have enough calories for one!

[Mochagirl]

I'm sorry you're still feeling down, zana. I wish we could have a drink together and chat away our worries ...unfortunately that Atlantic commute is killer!

I promise you'll feel better once you actually start TTC. You've had so many months to plan you must be second-guessing every decision. I always feel good the day O arrives because I know I did my best and the power is out of my hands. However, now that I'm 2DPO, I just want to fast forward 8 days or so and get my BFP!!!
