re: Chit chat

GRRRRR.... back on CD1. I didn't think this was our month. I think we might try the BD'ing every other day next time. I'm not really looking forward to that...   I have two bottles of Ovulex left which means a two more month supply. Maybe I'll try the every other day this month and then the following I won't use my fertility monitor or anything (de-stresson TTC) and see what happens. If that's negative then I'll suck it up and get on the clomid/shot/IUI path.

Ok now that it took me so long to read this post, I can't remember anyone's name or CD info! Lol.

Well, my name is Jenn and we've been trying to conceive since June (it's all in my profile if you're that interested)

I'm on CD 20 and ovulated on CD 16. The good ole AF is suppose to be here on CD 30. My hubby travels alot (infact we just missed my ovulation this time!) so I'm always on here looking for someone to talk to!

So HI everyone!

I know I'm behind. But, Lacey, honestly I like it when you post for us to see. It makes me feel like there is hope for us all. And, you give great advice and help us out a lot so you should be able to post for us to see. We like to return the favor of support too!

Summer, I am doing the de-stressing this cycle! It is amazing! I know roughly what cycle day I am on, but other then that...NOTHING! Well, I might use pre-seed. We will see. Good luck!

Kellie - I know you are trying that route and it has encouraged me to do it. You posted on how nice it was. We've been trying for so long that some of the TTC procedures are just part of my daily routine now. It's easy to say it doesn't stress me out because it's routine but maybe I should try a month of no monitor and just having a vague idea of my CD and having sex when we feel like it..... God, can't think of the last time we've done that!!! Hahaha! Then there's the other side of me that feels like I can't turn off the TTC brain, I can'thelp it. Even if I didn't track it, I KNOW that in seventeen or eighteen days I should ovulate and it's not hard to guesstimate that two weeks frommy period I should start trying just to be safe... blah, blah Not sure I could turn off the need to BD that week......

I thought there was no way I would be able to do it. Then, yesterday I went to post what CD I was on and I was like shoot! I don't know! I didn't even allow myself to think back to exactly what date I started, I made a guess and called it good. I can't even tell you how good it feels to not have to wake up to my alarm so I can check my temp then charting it yada, yada! I was going to try to stay away from BG, but that is the one thing I CAN'T do! It is amazing the stress that is lifted off your shoulders. We still haven't BD'd yet and it's nice not planning it! I was scared at first that we wouldn't BD during ovulation...then I said eh, screw it! If we don't, we don't! There is always next month. Baby dust to you!!

I can't imagine what it would be to be TTC for as long as you have Summer... **knocks on wood so it doesn't happen to me** I look up to you for going at it for so long.... I think I would be crazy!

Go kelli! Go Kelli, Go go go kelli!

Keep up the stress free month!

EXACTLY!!! I only know what day I ovulated because it hurt so damn bad. lol i only knw roughly now because i peaked at my ticker. but thats it. We just have been doing it when we feel like it. I mean we probably only BDed 3 times around o time but eh....maybe it worked. I dunno. I just know that I got my spontaneous hubby back. I love that more. I love surprising him with new bedroom goodies too and it just felt so forced before. I know I only ttced like that for 2 months but theres SUCH a difference!!!

Lacey, no I don't think you post too much about your pregnancy on the TTC forum. I have only seen like one or two! I liked the fact you posted your ultrasound pic in the TTC forum, cause I don't like to go into the TTC grad forum to look for those things on the people I would like to keep track of!

I will totally hate myself later, but come on girls leave the drama out of here! Don't we all have enough stress?? I have felt left out too!!! I know that others have too!!! It is not only Lacey who talks with people through PM. Some of us are just notcomfortable with all that has been going on in the forums lately.
But we shouldn't have to give up our friendships or security of being able to come here to find our friends.

Speaking of movies... I want to see The Bucket List!!!! I am going to watch the Simpsons Movie tonight, it just came... we do netflix!

Quoting marywantsababynow!:“ Ok, what is all this stuff about Kim and Lacey? It seems like Lacey is being attacked.... But if not, ... [snip!] ... But if not, i apologize..... I just think that things are becoming out of control.... Can't we all just get along?”

i'm not sure what the deal is to be honest...the grad forum was created not just because of melissa and kim, it was created because there are a lot of us who want to stay away from the drama that seems to lurk in a lot of other forums - plus we all genuinely care about each other, and when a new person comes whether ttc/pregnant/or pp - it just adds to things. but the grads forum was just created so as not to offend anyone in the ttc/adoption by those who were newly pregnant...i'm a bit confused by this whole thing as well...i still love my ttc girls and keep up with them on the main ttc forum whenever i'm able to get online these days so this whole thing is confusing

The bucketlist looks H I L A R I O U S !!!!

In a weird way it almost gets easier. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. BUT I have learned to kindalet go of the tears with every negative and listening to every gas pain or sore boob thatused toconvince me I was pregnant. I still have my moments offeeling that all of my friends are getting pregnant and I'm not, but I'm notas emotional as I once was about it. I've decided for lack of a better term, it's probably self-preservation.  And heaven knows, there are ladies out therethat have tried longer than I have or have had a more difficult journey.That's why I like this site, we all have a lot to learn from one anothers experiences.
