Lucky...Rant away!!!! I am so sorry to hear about what she is doing to you...True friends don't treat each other like s**t, and then act as if nothing is wrong...and I don't think it's fair that she is using having a baby as her excuse for being absent in your life...I have a very dear friend, basically a BF, who has a 4 week old, and she has never once been too busy to at least say "Hi" or see how things have been for me...It does not take any time to pick up the phone and call. I think you are on the right path in your decision to focus on getting PG and becoming a mommy! My thoughts are with you. Sticky babydust!!! :)

oh my u girls crack me up! I am so going through the same things with my friends. When I talk to them they are like "are u pregnant yet, well hurry up " oh ok im so sorry, dont you think if I could I would. and then the other ones only called when they need something. well girls i had a complete mental break down last night. i was so sure this was going to be the month. also my mother and I arent very close which sucks. she was never a good mother and so on, and my father was never there. so we have been having a constant battle, because my brother and sister are still young and they shouldnt have to go through what i did. some of you girls mentioned how your parents dont know you are ttc, well she knows and does she care....NO.... but yadda yadda yadda...ive been so stressed with that I completly lost it last night with everything to the point i was hyper ventalating ugh!!! what a baby I am, so this kinda explains why I have been in sucha funk lately. im just sad, and im hoping tomorrow the doctor will help me. i need something good to come out of this because we are going to stop trying for a bit after this month i think, every month its the same dispointment. you girls know how I feel.....Lucky Im so sorry for your friends. you have us any time you need us. Has anyone talked to Diem to see how she is doing? I hope she is doing ok . well thanks for listening to me now! haha

Okay, everyone...(((GROUP HUG)))! We are all wonderful women. We deserve the best, and we will be the best mommies around! It's hard to find good in this process but try to think of it this way: WE will truly know how much of a blessing our babies will be, and we will be thankful for every minute and cherish every day. I know that most people say that they finally know happiness when they see their babies for the first time, but I can't help thinking that those that "accidentally" get pregnant or that were able to get pregnant right away will never fully feel the gratefulness that we will, or appreciate what miracles babies truly are. Our times WILL come, and our wait will make that moment all the more special. Ladies, stay strong when you can, and cry to us when you need to. We are in this together through thick and thin. We are already mommies in our hearts, and someday each and every one of us will be mommies for life.

Good evening ladies. I'm in on the group Hug! I missed alot so I had to catch up. I have been cleaning endlessly and catching up on laundry as well. I'm going to the parents house tomorrow in NJ for my aunts Christmas party, so I will be MIA over the weekend. I hate not being able to check on the computer-but I don't want them to find out...
It is really great to see all of the support here. I think Newmommy really hit it on the nail...stay strong when you can and cry to us when you need to. We are here for both the good and the bad. This is the best place to vent-hell, my fingers can't type fast enough sometimes. Our times will come and it will be that much special for us. Twhit-I'm sorry to hear about your family. It's good to let all of those feelings out and not bottled in inside. At your appt tomorrow, my advice is be as assertive as you can and really communicate that you and DH want to have a baby. Share your knowledge about TTC and they'll know you've done your homework. Have all your questions ready and make them answer every one! Sometimes you have to be assertive to get what you want. Good luck! Your in our thoughts! Lucky-I'm glad you ranted and raved. We all need to and we all do. You are not sounding bitchy. This is how you feel. When my friend had #1 we kept in touch very frequently - you do have the time if you make the time. She might be a little more sensitive if she knows more about what's going on and don't be afraid to share it with her. But, if you feel you've given her enough, then I respect you for "ditching her ass!" Keep us posted. Thinking of you :) Well, as for me...I'm not exactly sure when I o'd because I didn't really get the significant test rise until today. But it had to be the day or two after the trigger shot. I have had some cramping today and yesterday-just hoping that my uterus is preparing itself (doubt it though). I'm not crazy about BBT thermometer. It has no light on it so I can't read it right away, then I accidentally deleted it when I was trying to recover it in memory. Oh well, I used my trusty regular one and it was 97.8. I'm praying for a continued increase. Well ladies, I'm off to bed. Have a good night and I 'll talk with ya on Sunday (then only 1-2 til testing!)

I'm here.....I am still bleeding a bit. But I have started temping again. I haven't much felt like talking. Kinda in a pissy mood lately. I will visit later to chat. Just wanted to let you all know that I found the place :-)

Well I have a mild case of PCOS. So she referred us to an infertility specialist, and we dont see her until January 18. But I love this doctor! She was so sweet and caring and so nice! Im very happy. She said its probably because I was on the pill for so long, so they would probably be able to correct within a few months time.

TWhit - Thats great that you like your doctor. You must feel better knowing what might be the cause for the BFNs. Relax until your next appt. You never know just by relaxing and not thining about it you'll end up with that BFP. Diem - So sorry you are so down. **HUGS** to you. How is everyone today? THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY!!! I bought my tequila to go with my Secret Santa Margarita Mix. I'm taking a relaxing bubble bath to unwind and then enjoy my dh's company. Watch some movies.

Okay, I'm back! We had a huge wind storm last light and we lost power. It went off last night before 10:00pm, and didn't come on until 1:30pm today! Luckily, our gas fireplace kep the house warm this morning, and DH, the pugs, and the cat kept me warm last night! Bina, I got all my laundry done yesterday, but I was supposed to be cleaning today. I used not having power as my excuse--as if it takes tremendous power to clean a house! I'm not too keen on my bbt either. Sometimes, it takes my temp, and other times it doesn't, and I have to clear it again to take it. No rhyme or reason. I guess I have to break down and read the dorections. Who reads directions on a thermometer??? :-) Diem, I'm sorry you're having a rough time right now. I don't blame you if you don't want to talk much. We're here when you do. I was worried about you, so thanks for checking in! TWhit, I'm glad your appt. went so well! It's so nice to finally get some answers, and feeling comfortable with your Dr. makes a huge difference. Do you know yet how they can fix your PCOS, or is that what you find out at the fertility appt? K8, your night tonight sounds so cozy! I have some Christmas movies saved on the DVR, so we may watch one tonight. We also have the pug meet-up tomorrow, and DH took the day off so he can go too. That will be fun. My temp was 96.9 today! I took it again to see if it was right, and the second temp was 97.0, so I guess it was right. I think AF is oficially gone today, so I'm ready to start looking for "o" signs! My right ovarian cyst is still a little tender, but I think it's getting better.

TWhit, so sorry to hear about the PCOS. But the good thing is that your doc is on top of it and that it has been diagnosed. I have a really good friend with PCOS and she has 2 yes I said 2 beautiful children. K8, I just got båck from a office x-mas party and I had my first glass of wine in like FOREVER. It was sooooo tasty. Yum Yum. I'm so happy everyone is temping and taking control...yeah! Lets all share our charts. I don't think we are going to get back to ttcing until january but I'm trying to get back into the whole temping thing. I keep forgeting to put it by my bedside. When I was pg I LOVED being able to sleep in and not wake to my 5 am alarm just to temp. Oh well....I'll do what I need to in order to get that healthy BABY!!!! I really want a healthy one....so if it takes me having a few miscarriages to get one.....bring it on! I'm sooo ready to take ttcing on again. I'm holding my head up and I'm ready to CHAAARGE!! LOL

 

newmommy - December 16

Woo Hoo---you go, girl!!! :-) I think I've said this already once, but your strength truly amazes me, Diem. Let's power on, girls!

 

TWhit116 - December 16

my temps have been 98.5... 97.2 and 98.2 does this sound normal so far?

 

TWhit116 - December 16

Diem you are awesome!!! I wish I had your courage sometimes!

 

newmommy - December 16

TWhit, I think that's fine right now. They are often sporadic during AF. When AF is over, they should even out a bit more and stay a little lower until "o". I'm anxious to see if my chart will follow that pattern!

 

diem - December 16

TWhit....totally sounds normal to me. However, everybody's temps are different. Before I o my temps are soooo eratic. After I o they jump up and are very steady. I've noticed this trend. It's normal for me...but not for everybody. OK ladies....our own strength is all we've got. We can be sad (of course at times we need to be) ....we can be angry ... (of course we will be 'cause it's not fair) or we can be happy with the wonderful life that we have (just ONE tiny (big) thing missing)....and we will get what we want. We will take meds...do surgeries...surrogates (sp?) adoption........WHATEVER! We are meant to be moms and we will be. It's just the waiting that sucks. I don't care what it takes....I want a HEALTHY baby. I've decided that my past miscarriages were due to unhealthy babies. God wants us to be happy. We don't choose the time or place....we deal with the unhappiness in order to appreciate the happiness that life is getting ready to deal to us. YAY for us as we are a strong group of women who can deal with the happiness and the crappiness of life. We are lucky already.....and just gearing up to be luckier. (I guess I finally feel like I'm back at full force >LOL)

 

TWhit116 - December 16

ok thanks! You said exactly diem!

 

newmommy - December 16

Okay, now I HAD to clean! My sister and BIL still don't have power, so they may be spending the night. I guess it's the kick in the butt that I needed! I'm thinking about you all! (Okay, back to finish the house!)
