***Weekend Crazy Train***

BethKate2

This is a thread posted daily for any of us who need to get out our frustrations about waiting to O, the 2WW, or vent about our cycles. If you find yourself checking FF obsessively, MF is getting the best of you, or you just want to pee on all things, let it out here!

In order for the conductors to be better able to help you, please make sure you either have a FF chart link in your sig, or make sure you post a link. Don't chart? You should consider it, not only will it give you a lot more insight to your cycles, but conductors will be able to answer a lot of your questions just by looking at your chart! To learn more about charting, check out the charting course that FF offers:https://www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/

The CT is not the place to post a BFP. If you have a "squinter" or if you have a line that appeared after the time frame, please do not post about it here.  Take a step back from the board, test again with FMU, and good luck!

@Fightersince83‌, fx that your period shows up tomorrow! Even if it's a short lp, at least you'll be able to get the ball rolling with testing sooner. Good luck!

Crazy level from 1-10: 2 CD/DPO: CD 19/2 DPO Can I just ______ already?!: Can I just drink already!? I bought a huge bottle of sangria from Costco and it's delicious. Now I'm debating how much 6% alcohol could effect implantation. >< Signs/Symptoms: fatigue the last 2 days. I know it means nothing but a girl can't help but dream. Explain your Crazy here: first round of clomid, 50mg on CD 3-9. I didn't think I was going to ovulate since I got a pos OPK 2 days before my temps went up. Granted the last 2 days of temps have been taken at weird times (I think I freaked myself out, so I was super restless in the AM). This morning I test an hour before and an hour later than normal. Both times it was a degree above my cover line. I bump from my phone so here's a link to my FF: https://fertilityfriend.com/home/506853

From the looks of your temps, it seems like you ovulated.

As far as drinking, I'd go for it. I haven't read or been told anything about alcohol affecting implantation. I choose not to live like I'm pregnant until I am.

Good luck.

Crazy level from 1-10: 5? I'm feeling really level headed right now...

CD/DPO: 23/10dpo

Can I just ______ already?!: Get an answer, either way, so I can make the next steps in this journey.

Signs/Symptoms: I'm taking progesterone so I'm not even going to let my crazy mind go there, but I will say that I am extremely grumpy and irritated this cycle.

Explain your Crazy here:  I am just so ready to know my next step! It's today and the next few days that really hit me hard. I get all into my own head about ttc. Sometimes I "feel" it, and others I'm like "You know you're out this cycle why are you even worrying about it". I want to know what my next step is. I know that I want to see an RE for the next round, but I think I need a break. This August marks 1 year of us trying every cycle (6 months naturally, then being given my DX of low AMH and trying medicated with my ectopic in there as well)  so I'm ready for a break I think. I know that a year of trying is the norm and blah blah blah, I know. But, a year of trying for anyone, IF issues or not, is super hard, stressful, and for me, expensive. It takes the fun out of sex, especially when you have to do it at certain times. On top, add the dr.'s appointments, the disappointment of the constant bfn's, the fear, just EVERYTHING...it gets to be a lot. So keep me in your thoughts the next few days while I wait for this answer. I think I'm going to test on Wednesday. I will be 14dpo. My DH is off that day, so if I get good news, we can enjoy it together in the morning. I'm just getting stressed. I know we all are, I just feel that I'm starting to go to that negative place, and I really need to get my anxiety under control. Also? Pie for you all! Thanks for listening to my rant :x

@rslh10, best of luck to you this cycle!

I completely understand how you're feeling about TTC. ((hugs)) I get really down about it too. It's hard. Timing sex is no fun. Hopefully this cycle will be it for you, but if not, take a break if you need it. Going to a RE is a good idea when you're reading to try again, though.

@bethkate2 thank you It really does help to know that the feelings I have towards it all are being felt by others as well.

@rslh10, for sure. I just started cycle 26 of TTC yesterday, so I can definitely relate to how you're feeling. It stopped being fun a long time ago. Starting to work with my RE made me feel better about things, though, because I feel like we're getting to the bottom of what some of our problems might be.

Can I ask a FF related question here? I figure since most of the posters and conductors are familiar with it, maybe you can help me out. It's not really worthy of its own post/thread.

When you click my chart, can you see when H and I DTD? The "BD" line shows up for me but I don't see it when I get to my chart from my siggy link. How can I get that (and other "extras") to show up on the bottom of my chart?

BethKate2

@mpiemont‌ I'm on mobile right now, so i can't tell you exactly what to click on, but it's one of the settings that you choose for your account.

mpiemont

Ok I will look and see if I can figure it out. Thanks

Edit: @bethkate2 I found it!! Thank you so much. I wanted to make sure the whole world knew when I had sex

Crazy level from 1-10: 8

CD/DPO:32/7

Can I just ______ already?!: Body, just get your crap together.

Signs/Symptoms: EWCM at 7dpo. WTF?

Explain your Crazy here: I've never had true EWCM until this cycle, and now it's back way after ovulation. Also, FF has this cycle predicted at 40 days. I know some ladies have cycles longer than this every time, but it's still frustrating.

ETA: Sending you ((hugs)) @rslh10

BethKate2

@LittleMrsW, I've gotten fertile CM after O before. It's annoying. I don't usually even mark it in FF if I'm confident in the O date it gave me.

As far as your cycle length, it definitely sucks that it seems like it's going to be a long one, but at least you know you ovulated, so you can be pretty sure that the cycle will be over in another week or so. Good luck!
