Good Morning Ladies. The witch has stayed away yet another day.. If it stays away i am going to call the dr tomorrow. . But i am sure they are not going to see me for a bit. i just want blood work. I am going to test tomorrow morning. I Think it is still going to be a bfn. i think i am one of those that it won't show until a while after the witch hasn't showed. Baby Dust and Happy Thoughts.

SOrry neglected to mention. For 20 years af has not neglected to show up. It has always shown its face even on my wedding day. But I am getting scared because i got the witch at such a young age that it might be affecting me already at 27.


Tracy - January 23rd, 2006 9:18 AM

D- I'm no doctor, but I don't think the fact that you got AF at an early age should affect you at age 27. My sister got it at an early age and she just had a child at age 36. She is only now, at 39, experiencing more painful periods, etc... I got AF later, so you would think I'd be able to get PG easier. I think I was about fourteen going on fifteen when I got it for the first time. I'm stressed out today, because yesterday I opened my student loan bill and I owe like 350.00 right now and I don't have it. While I was teaching I was able to pay it, but since quitting in October I have not been able to afford to. I don't make that much money right now and what I do make goes toward our food. I can't ask DH for the money to pay it because he pays for literally everything else. The purpose in me leaving teaching was less stress=less sicknesses, yet now I can't afford to pay my one and only bill. That's the one thing I knew I would miss from teaching: the paycheck! Aaaahhhh, what do I do? I thought of using money for my birthday to pay it, but the interest on the loan is such that, you pay the bill and the balance never changes. I am currently getting screwed and don't want to pay it because they are just going to keep screwing me harder!

Good morning everybody!! CC - it looks like we are kind of in the same boat. DH and I only were able to bd once. I blame football. I think he was more interested in that than baby making and didn't even come to bed until after 11pm!! I didn't handle it very well, got into a little argument over it. For some stupid reason he thinks I am into this "sex thing". I don't like having to "perform" any more than he does. Personally, I could have done without it but, we had a job to do and he procrastenated (sp)!! It ticks me off that I continually have to remind him during O time what has to be done. It makes me feel like I am begging, when that is not the case at all!!! Between the clinical aspects of the IUIs and this happening, I really don't feel much like a woman!! I just wish I would get pregnant already, so that we can take the "motive" out of it all. I mean I just don't understand him anymore. Here I am going through all the hormonal crap with the meds and having pregnancy symptoms and not even being pregnant, and all he has to do is one thing 2 - 3 times during the month, ARRGH!! If I have to hear one more time that "it" has a mind of its own... I think my arm is going to get a mind of its own and take my hand up side his head!!! Are men really that detached???? Sorry for the ranting and raving and the TMI, but I just had to get it off my chest.

Tracy, Sorry to hear about the student loan shit. They will always get you some where. I thought you had so long to pay it back? is your time up? Lori. What else can i say but the word. "MEN". I think every one of them says it has a mind of its own. I don't know what else to say. I know if i am not pg the next time i won't tell dh i am o'ing. I think we do put a lot of pressure on them. BUt soon enough every one of our dh's might start seeing it from our point of view. Then i think well maybe they do look at it except in their view. US ladies well me anyway. IF you feel that way just say it out loud here. I feel like less of a woman every month that goes by. I think our dh's are starting to feel less like men every month that goes by... Did this make any sense? I am still not awake. I only wish i could be of more help. But i am hear to listen. HAPPY THOUGHTS & BABY DUST!!!!!!!!


d - January 23rd, 2006 9:57 AM

oh i hope i didn't offend anyone with the s___t word. sorry if i did.


jcr - January 23rd, 2006 10:50 AM

Hi ladies, sorry to have worried you. I tried to take a break for a few days. I think I may have a few extra hormones raging through me, my eyes are red and swollen. My father had knee replacement surgery and is suffering from post-surgical psychosis-which is pretty ugly. He has been restrained in bed several times, and it is really hard on my mom. He probably won't remember much of it, but it is tough being so far away and not being able to help. My parents are getting older and it is really hard to see them going down hill, especially my Dad, he seems to forget alot and get confused everyonce in a while. I really want to hop on a plane, but of course who knows when I may o. The Dr did an ultrasound thursday and said not much was going on and to come back in a week to see if I was closer to o'ing. Seems like every other day I get an opk test that is almost the same color, I am starting to get ewcm. It is really frusterating to just not know. Tracy I am sorry about the student loan. I think you can phone and tell them your predicament and they will let you skip a payment or two or at least let you pay less this month-some is better than nothing. Also talk with dh about it, he may have a solution. I know I always have a hard time talking to dh about $$ or spending money on my parents when needed because I am not working at all. But it really clears the air when I talk to him and I feel better about it. Lori, sorry about dh. I think they do not talk about it the same way we do, but I think they feel like they are to blame when ttc doesn't seem to be working. Men are fixer's and this is one thing they can't fix and when we get bfn's there is nothing they can "fix."' They just have to watch us cry and I think they feel helpless, so maybe he is having one of "those months!" I know about football, sometimes I wish I was made of pigskin so dh would notice me sunday afternoons!! D---pretty sure you are pg. Both of my bfp's showed up after the symptoms. The #1 symptom being raw meat!!! I couldn't see or smell it raw or that was it, cereal for supper. So hang in there! Anyway I am back and thanks for the words or support and thoughts. I am hoping D starts the bfp's rolling and we all follow her lead. big hugs and bellyrubs.

Jcr. I know how you feel about your father. My dad is 54 yrs old and is in end stage renal failure is on dialysis 4x a week, has parkinsons, only half of his heart works the other half if a pacemaker and something else. i forgot what. he also gets operating on every week. he always seems to get anorisms where is graph is for dialysis. enough on my dad. I can be hear to listen as said i know. A few yrs ago my dad was living in fl. (this was before he got really sick). he had 2 heart attacks. I got the call and then started driving to florida. by the time i got there my father signed himself out of the hospital and wouldn't go back. and after that he started getting sicker and i made him move back to jersey. I knowwhat it is like with the father deal he was far away and came back and now he says he is going back to florida. i don't want him too but i can't stop him. --------------------Ladies i couldn't agree more on the football thing. no football next week and then the week after is the superbowl. FINALLY IT WILL BE OVER. but then it is baseball season.. did i mention i am going nuts here.


d - January 23rd, 2006 11:06 AM

ladies those of you that chart your bbt. what is is prior to o, at o' and post o? Just curious cause if i am not pg. i think i might start temping.


d - January 23rd, 2006 1:41 PM

hey ladies, last night with the chicken. yuck. makes me gag just thinking about it. well the meat was good of course. dh was fine after he ate it. It has got to be me. I swear after i cooked it it smelt raw, bad and ill.


CC - January 23rd, 2006 2:54 PM

jcr, glad to see you are back but sorry to hear about your Dad. It really is hard, and I am far away from my parents as well and I know feeling helpless is due to the distance. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Funny how the roles reverse as we get older, and begin to play the parent role to our own parents. d, I got my AF when I was really young, a month after turning 11. I dont think it makes a difference when AF started, except for maybe down the road with menopause. You are years from that. Tracy, I think you need to talk to dh about the loan. Its is technically his debt now too since you are married, and he needs to understand the money situation. I agree w/ jcr, you will feel better about if you talk to him. Lori, once again I could have written your whole post and signed my name on it-however, I do love football, its my favorite sport and I am usually right on the couch w/ dh watching and yelling! Yesterday when I told dh we "had" to bed, he just gave me this face and I did want to slap him. I told him he should want to be intimate with his wife, and him making faces makes it seem like more of a chore then it really is. Sometimes, they really can be selfish bastards! We did bd yesterday, but we are done for awhile. We seem to have no problem any other time of the month but he seems to know when its the important time and then makes me tell him we have to..Anyway-!!


d - January 23rd, 2006 3:02 PM

ladies, i have an appt with my dr for monday. a week from today. going to see what is going on. unless i get a +++hpt by then.


d - January 23rd, 2006 3:34 PM

mine too.. he knows and it doesn't happen when it is that time of the month. i first got af when i just turned 8. horrible horrible. my teacher didn't believe me. she wouldn't let me go see the nurse. it was most embarassing. my mother fell over that day when i told her. she did. LOL. it is funny now the story but then it wasn't. i will never forget my teachers face or my mothers. I wonder if i am pg. The witch just doesn't seem to be showing and i hope it stays that way. although some little cramping again but nothing else. Baby Dust and Happy Thoughts


CC - January 23rd, 2006 4:15 PM

d, I can relate to your first AF story. I was a few days away from starting 6th grade. It was the end of summer, and although I knew what it was when I saw it, I just thought or knew eventually it would go away. This is gross but true-we laugh about it now, but its crazy. I would change my underwear every few hours or whatever (I guess when you 1st start you must not bleed very heavily) and throw my dirty underwear underneath my bed. I did this for however many days it lasted. I never told my Mom. I came home from school one day right after it had started and my Mom was in my room with all these dirty underwear piled on my bed. Needless to say we both cried. Sad but true!


CC - January 23rd, 2006 4:19 PM

d, you will test before next Monday wont you ??!!!


EMM - January 23rd, 2006 4:29 PM

To CC- I too love football. My husband knows more stats and stuff than I do. I spend my time on the internet looking up infertility. He spends his time finding out about stats. We don't watch a lot of NFL, but when it is College Game Day time he knows better than to touch the remote.
