Hey Tracy, I am 27 and have been ttc this is our 11th month now. I laugh about my fall too. Oh wait and about 2 months ago i slipped on my socks and went down my carpeted stairs inside the house. LOL. i forgot about that. And dh was outside when it happened and he came back in and saw me at the bottom. LOL. I have wondered if i might be a sperm killer. I just can't figure it out. how about you. age? ttc if you don't mind? Lots of baby dust to all. |

Dh and I had a talk. If I am not pg. well we have to take some steps. But i told him one night we have to get drunk or just do it out of no where. I will not say I am o'ing anymore. |

D-I am 35, Dh is 32 and we've been TTC for a little over a year. I just laughed my A** off when you said you were found at the bottom of the stairs. Too funny!!! |

D, don't you hate it when people tell you to relax and not think about it!!! I think I have bit one or two heads off of people who say that to me!! Tracy, I too am a big klutz. I have scars on my belly from when I was pg, I ironed my belly once and another time I was taking cookies out of the oven and the cookie sheet burned my belly, as for falls I'd have you here all night with those stories. One morning I was carrying my big gulp up the stairs to my work (several years ago) and fell up the stairs, the lid popped off and soda went all over my face, hair and shirt. I just walked in the office with Dt coke dripping down my nose and knew it was going to be a bad day. Everyone else had a good laugh tho! As far as bding I always feel like we should do more of it. This month I'll have to work harder at it I guess. Well good night all. Big hugs and belly rubs. |

Good (early) morning to everyone!! I am just remembering a fall I had and snickering. I was walking my dog and tripped over uneven cement. The dog thought that I was on the ground to play with him and started jumping all over me. Some guy came by and thought that we were just playing too, and I was too embarrassed to ask him for help. Finally I was able to get up and hobble home. It's pretty funny looking back at it. On another note, I am almost tempted to cancel the IUIs for this cycle and try naturally. Haven't talked to DH to see how he feels about it. But, here is my thought process - I get the trigger shot on Saturday (will ovulate sometime between Saturday night and Monday morning). If we bd on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday, then we should have it covered. The IUIs will be done on Sunday and Monday morning. I guess what has me nervous is that dh says that Sunday shouldn't be a problem but he doesn't know if he can make Monday happen. He always does have more of a problem on the second day. He is working 7 days a week, really long hours. And if he can't come through on Monday, then I will feel like the one IUI wouldn't be enough, and knowing hubby as I do, getting up as early as we have to for the IUI, he will be "ruined" for Monday night if he can't produce Monday morning, and that would blow just about the whole cycle. I guess I am just nervous, too, that anything we do will not work and I will always wonder "if we did it the other way, would it have worked?" Sorry about the rambling, just feeling anxious about it all again this cycle. |

Well I got a BFN last night.....gotta be too early. The biggest things that are making me think it is not coming. Is the bb's don't hurt at all. They are usually screaming 8 days before af. and i get a bad headache and heartburn the night before af. AND nothing. arrghh. But still no signs of the witch showing. In the past when I thought Oh maybe pg and If i felt cramps i would be oh here it comes and i go check and sure enough it was there. Everytime now i keep saying ok it is going to be there and it is not. I wonder if maybe those dark opks on early last week (2 sundays ago) meant something and it happened then. The only thing i can think of is that. When I got my dark lines for new yrs i never o'd so maybe i o'd later. One time I was this late and my cycle was switching and that was november. Since then it switched back. and december was on the money. Baby Dust to all. A couple of my cousins didn't get +++ until they were over a week late for af. |

Lori, My dog has done that too me too. Mine likes to trip me. She is a boxer and walks into things. We all get anxious when the new cycle begins. |

Lori--D is right, we are all anxious. I have had those thoughts about waht we could have done differently, etc... it's Ok to vent your frustrations and fears because I know we all understand where you are coming from. I love the clutz stories!!!! I find myself laughing so hard. I wonder if the universe made me fall so I'd have something to laugh about during this low point???? Well, finished the clomid last night. OPK showed a light-medium test line, so no surge yet. Last month it did the same thing and I got a definite surge on cd13, same day as EWCM. Have been having some mild pains on the left ovary. I think I will ovulate from that side this month. I have a small cyst on that ovary, so I always feel when I O from that side. Perhaps that will be my lucky ovary! |

I had slight cramps this am and i though for sure that when i got out of bed it would show. ran to the bathroom and nothing. I keep saying it is coming I know it. I wil take it. as long as it is a no show i can think positive thoughts i guess. |

Hey, I am having a rough day! I'm sitting here crying and feeling quite hopeless. Everyone says well you have one...! I am soooo sick of hearing that even from dh. I am afraid that I am starting to lose hope of ever getting bfp-sorry to start everyones day off sad. I just feel like I am starting to lose it!! help! |

((( JCR ))) - That is exactly how I am feeling today!! Hopeless & helpless!! I think that it is just that we are getting close to that part in our cycle where we feel that it is "do or die" and no matter what we DO we are aftraid of that bfn at the end of it all. At the end of the day if all we can do is say we gave it our best shot, then we DID our part. I have to admit I "used" to be one of those people that felt that anybody who already had one baby shouldn't be complaining, but now I understand that the desire is the same in ALL of us and there is NO difference. I think that your dh was probably just trying to comfort you in his own way , you know, like "your cloud does have a silver lining" type of a comment. I think that if we already had one my husband would be reacting the same way .... men just don't get it sometimes... but they love us and really do think that they are helping. On the up side of it all - think of it this way - you KNOW you can get pregnant and your daughter is proof of that. If it were between the two of us, I would place my money on you to get that bfp!! I hope all that I have said makes sense to you and that you know that I have said it with the best of intentions. BIG HUGS!!! |

Ladies, sorry to hear everyones day isen't starting off so well...I am sure dh means well. maybe the bfn's are bothering him every month and this is how he is taking it. my dh tries to talk positive. but last night he too said to me ' you have been late before" i said yes you are right i said but do you have to be sooo negative. Yes it could just be late. But the bb's still don't hurt. it is throwing me off. they throb before and up until i get af. But i do understand why dh said that and it was just to help me not to get my hopes so high up. On other notes. How is the weather by everyone else? it is a very warm january here and it doesn't even feel like winter. I can only imagine what summer is going to be like here. baby dust and happy thoughts to all. |

Oh, JCR, I have been feeling the same way even being on the clomid--HOPELESS and HELPLESS. I have been trying to find some light and something to make me feel like my life has purpose without a child, but nothing can fulfill me and everything I do is meaningless without a family. My mom says to pray, but I have been praying and wishing on stars for so long now. This whole process is so hard and just down-right sucks. And there's never any little indication that you are the next one in line to receive a BFP. It's just wait and see, over and over again. I just want my BFP so bad so I can snap out of this depression. I need something to be happy about. I love my husband, and he makes me so happy, but something is missing, and it is obviously the child we both want so badly. Hang in there girl, it's OK to be sad and have crappy days. Cry until you can't cry anymore. I find it at least makes me sleep better. D-waiting is a bitch, that's all there is to it. Try not to focus on it, go out and do stuff to get your mind off it and pass some time. I did not do that last cycle and was talking myself into all kinds of stuff when AF was late. Just a thought...... |

Lori--it's crazy the you used the same two words to describe our feelings right now. I had been typing my post forever, and everytime I thought I was done, my broken dryer would start buzzing again. I finally posted and we said exactly the same thing! You know what is new to me is that, every guy I have ever been with has not wanted a child, but now I am faced with this rare bird who wants one just as much as I do. I find it hard when he says things about the baby we don't have because that is when the failure-feelings pop out. Sometimes I wish he didn't know I was TTC so he just wouldn't say anything and I wouldn't feel the weight of two people's emotions on my shoulders. They do try to make us feel better, but more often than not, it doesn't help at all. Like when I was due for AF last cycle, he would ask me all day, every day, if I was bleeding yet. I finally just said, look I'll let you know if and when I do. The pressure was on for it to stay inside of my body! |

Sorry Lori and Tracy you feel the same way! I find I have a whole different level to ttc #2. Before it was heartbreaking and sad. This tiime around I feel really angry. My body did do it 2 x's before. I am angry about m/c and really angry at my body for letting me down. I think that is why my diet has gone out the window. I think I am subconsciously trying to punish my body??? I had another friend call me over the weekend, she is pg-38 and wondering if she should keep the baby because she feels like she is too old. It is her and her dh's 1st. She wasn't even trying. Then there is my damn body...! I have a hard time even having sex anymore, I think my body is flawed because of all this ttc unsucessfully. Sorry, I just have never been able to tell anyone this before. I tried to tell dh, but he doesn't get it. Sorry ladies, I don't mean to be so down. Big hugs1 |
