Please, please pray for her emotional and spiritual strength. I am appealing to all of you because you know...
Thank you everyone <3View Thread

My update: CD #20, 5 DPO. Got a solid smiley on my OPK on Wednesday last week on CD 15, a couple days later than I thought I would. Got some (hopefully) well-timed BDing in based off the OPKs. So, time will tell.
Hope you all are doing well. Have a fantastic week!View Thread
My update: CD # 18,I'm in the 2ww.I ovulated last thursday so keeping my fingers crossed.I'm not too hopeful but we'll see I guess. If I do get a BFP this time it would be around the same time as my last pregnancy and that would be very scary for me.
Have a great week ladies!View Thread
As Aragorn says, there's always hope.
When I got home I told my DH she was pregnant, and he gave me this weird look I've never seen before. On one hand it looked like pain, he looked like I feel when I get a BFN. On the other hand, it could have been "oh great, now I'm going to have to put up with your moodiness for the rest of the night." I didn't talk about it for the rest of the evening, because I wasn't sure if he wanted to hear me talk about how everyone else was pregnant for the millionth time, or if this whole ttc thing is really starting to get to him. We got into a tiff over something completely banal. After a moment of silence, he said "y'know what? this will be the last thing I say to try and help you, after this I'm done...I think you need counseling. If you want to go, I'll go with you."
I feel very alone...and numb. I just want to feel better. It's like I'm in a pit, and every time I get the courage to climb out, someone I know starts shoveling dirt in my face. I'm starting to feel guilty for being sad all the time. All I need DH to do is just hold me and tell me it'll be ok. But he has a need to fix everything, and I think he believes I'm beyond fixing. I don't know what to do....View Thread

This day officially sucks now.View Thread
Ok, so my week went ok..daycare was fine and I have a day off today so 3 day weekend!!

Went shopping last night and did an extra big grocery ++ household cleaning products and sneaked in my kiddos Easter gifts...can't wait for the egg hunt this year!
I've been feeling down lately about family issues (not with Chris but my mother) and I just feel so un-enlightened about what I should do about this..she just doesn't treat her three daughters the same and she also doesn't see it..she thinks she's fair to all three and it's frankly causing troubles over it and the worse thing about it is that she can't be talked to about it or be made to see differently according to her...
Anyhow, I feel tears coming so I truly don't wish to do that again today so onwards we go...
Perry & Pray- I hope all is well with you this week xo
To all my other ladies who were here this week I hope you all have a great weekend..

). On CD 10 start test with OPKs and when you get a +, BD for three days, rest on the 4th then BD once more. Seems as good a plan as any, and since I've been facing some anxiety around timing and ovulation, I'm hoping having a plan might settle me down a bit.
So, here's my question... I bought a 10 pack of the Clear Blue Easy digital OPKs. Tomorrow is CD 10 and I will starte testing. Supposedly they should indiciate High Fertile days and Peak Fertile days. So, what would count as a positive to start the three day BD -a-thon? The first positive or the peak positive?
Maybe I should have bought the cheapie, non digitals. Or my plan is backfiring and now I'm going to create more anxiety??View Thread
I always read your signature on your posts to remind myself that there is always hope. DH and I watched that movie the other day and I got all weepy at that line in the movie, thinking of you and all of us and what we face daily. DH was like, what the heck are you crying about??? lol!
I have hope for you, even if you're not feeling hopeful for yourself. I pray that your days get easier. Hugs!View Thread
when i was crying when i woke up this morning, i thought of you ladies! and how COMPLETELY LOST i would STILL be without you. you all truly lifted me up on the days that i needed someone to understand what i was going through, the most. my husband still doesn't quite understand and i truly adore all of your friendships!View Thread
After daycare closes tonight I need to run errands so I will pick one up and then the battle of when to test will begin (right when I get home is when I suppose that said battle will end)

Just to run through it all once again Chris and I BDed on CDs 14, 15, 17, 18 and w/o being able to confirm this I think O was around CD18..
I have no symptoms either way, pregnancy or AF..I've just been expecting her to show up and I keep setting up a date to expect her and she hasn't shown yet..at first it was last weekend, then when Monday showed I figured by mid week and when that went by I figured by Friday..now we're there and I'm now figuring sometime this weekend...
I really don't know what's going on except that I am expecting a BFN because of the lack of symptoms..
But of course I dread POAS because I do not want to see a BFN because who are we kidding right, although I am quite calm about this I still am hoping (fingers crossed) that I might just be baking right now!
I will update once I know anything...
Happy Friday ladies

I'm at a crossroads I think. So much is dictating that this is the end of our journey. Our ages, all the years of ttc with no success, etc, etc. With all the work load, there is no way I can see the RE right now and DH has pretty much ruled that out anyway. For the past few cycles, I have started having spotting. Not ovulation spotting either. I haven't had this problem till now, so it is another problem that has developed and will be added to the list of fertility problems we have. It is pretty much hopeless. I'm planning on stopping the Metformin at the end of this cycle. It hasn't helped at all and I do not want to take this medication for no reason. This medication is also given to people with diabetes. Also I didn't get to post about it, but November marked six years ttc total. That was incredibly hard.
I just feel like its depressing for everyone to see me here and get discouraged by my story. I want everyone that comes to this board to be hopeful.View Thread

I need to start thinking more about how this journey has affected him....he still treats me like a queen even after all the crying, depression, and tantrums...and believe me, some of them have been pretty ugly. I feel a little guilty for letting him put up with my crap this past year. I suppose my goal this year is to be a little less selfish.
I'm not very good with words, as you can see, but I just felt like sharing my thoughts.View Thread

My update: CD# 4, AF showed up on friday.What made that even worse was that saturday my sil called to tell us that she is expecting her third child.Lately I've been really good about not getting jealous and envious.I've been in therapy for awhile and it has helped me a lot but when she told us that she was expecting, it felt like the roof of my house fell over my head.She is the worse mother that I've ever known,I mean, she did some drugs while pregnant with her first child,cheated on her husband and he cheated on her at the same time.She doesn't even take care of her other two,my in-laws do. On top of that she said,I didn't want another baby but oh well I guess I am having another one.
Can you believe that?
Have a great week Ladies!View Thread
My Update: CD19. Into my TWW. After all my complaining about my DH last week, we did get several BDs at what I hope was the right time. So, now we pray and wait. And I try not to read too much into all the little symptoms that my brain is tricking me into feeling.
My birthday is Thursday, so I plan to test that day. I will be 7 DPO and rationally I know it's probably too early to get a BFP. But, it's my party and I'll test if I want to!!
I don't temp or chart, so I don't know exactly when I ovulated. So, cross your fingers and send up a little prayer for me!On a side note, for the past week when I blow my nose, my snot (sorry, TMI), is bloody. It's the worst when I first wake up and seems to taper of through out the day. I'm trying to will myself to not hope that this could possibly me a sign of pregnancy. Especially because it started two days before I believe I ovulated. And, after 4 pregnancies, this would be a new symptom for me.
Any other causes? I have not been sick, not even a cold and it's been realtively warm (for winter in Ohio) and moist (rain and snow).
Have a good week, ladies! Prayers, hugs and baby dust all around!View Thread
As Aragorn says, there's always hope.
well....I had a few more drinks, worked myself into an angry fit just thinking about her, and punched a hole straight through the door. Im paying for that now because my hand is one big giant bruise. And on top of that this morning I got my BFN.
I always think I can handle things like this, I always think I can just go on with my day and forget about it. But those emotions are always right under the surface, and I'm reduced to a big mess with the emotional maturity of a kindergartener, stomping my feet and screaming that the world isn't fair.
I know PMS is a b****, and I'll feel better after AF, but I just want this cycle of hope and bitter disappointment to end. This is just too hard....View Thread

Sorry I haven't been around much,these last 6 days I have been really sick. I got E.Coli from a steak.It's kind of ironic really b/c I always ask for my steak to be well done and this time they didn't but I decided not to be so picky so I ate it anyway.I was thinking DH likes his steaks medium rare and he has never gotten sick.I guess I learned my lesson.I feel better today so I am happy, at least I can keep some food down.
CD: 22,I am in the 2ww,I ovulated last thursday.Even though I was pretty sick we still managed to BD every other day.I was determined I guess.View Thread
don't get me wrong, i am happy to hear about it, but it's like a knife in my gut EVERY time. there's about 8 knives in my gut right now...i don't know if i can hold in my emotions much longer...View Thread

My update:CD# 15, no ovulation yet. Hope to ovulate soon but with my irregular cycles I have no idea when it will happen.
Have a great week ladies!View Thread
I am Charlotte.
I see you have a little community here, I think that's wonderful, and something I could really use. I am 20, and I had a miscarriage in August, I was 14 weeks, so it was very hard for me. Then in September we began to try again. Since then I have had irregular periods, and I went through a phase where I believed I was pregnant for 2 months, and refused to take a test. (Needless to say I wasn't ready yet) I have been doing a lot better since then, but now it's been so long and we are wondering if there is anything wrong. Of course being so young my doctor told me not to worry until a year has passed, but I don't see why I shouldn't be proactive about this instead of worrying until September rolls around again. Well thanks for reading this, and is there anything you know that I should try in regards to getting a regular period again?View Thread
