Case of the Mondays and intro

Jeanine87

Been lurking for a while and now that my husband and I are more focused on TTC, I thought I'd  get an intro on here. Stopped taking the pill at the end of August....wish I would have gotten off it sooner! I am so ready NOW to be pregnant and I'm hoping it will happen soon but I know I have to be patient. Most of my friends are not in the same stage of life as I am (I am 27, married for 3 years...most of my friends are not married yet and not even thinking about kids in the near future) so I don't really have anyone to share this anxiety with! Hoping to hear some good stories on here and maybe get some advice when needed. 

Also...definitely feeling the urge to just quit work on this particular Monday....anyone else?

Welcome to the board. Sorry you are feeling crappy today. Must be nice to just be able to quit... I would be homeless if I did. ha.

Don't worry about the coming off BC thing... it takes time. I didn't have a period for well over 4 months. 

Stories on here will be good (entertainment wise) but remember we are all TTC too so we are in this boat together and some people have been here for quite awhile so don't get down too much. The grass is always greener and stuff...

Welcome! I understand completely on the friend thing. I don't have anyone really to talk to about these kinds of things either except my SO so it helps coming here and talking to the ladies on here or reading the forums. On the other hand hope your Monday gets better! I wish it was as easy as just quitting but unfortunately most jobs will have it's times when you just wanna say FU.

Welcome!  I, too, can not share the crazy feelings of ttc with anyone as I want to keep it a secret.  

Hope the rest of your week gets better.

Hi!  Same here - most of my friends aren't married/interesting in kids any time soon.  I love them, but worry they won't be supportive of TTC so I don't bring it up.  It is what it is.  Hugs for the Monday blues.

Welcome and good luck to you!

I have the opposite problem-most of my friends have been TTC for a long time with no luck, or have been told they shouldn't plan on children for health reasons. It's going to be really hard to tell them, but I know they will be happy for us and will want to help out a lot (yay!).

Also, it is now Tuesday and I have taco salad for lunch, so that's a plus!

Welcome! My friends problem is that so many people I know got pregnant practically just by thinking about it, and we're going on 9 months TTC. The people I do know who had some trouble always throw around advice like "stop trying and it'll happen" or "it'll happen when it's meant to happen." Meh.

I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you! Ughh that is so obnoxious! Best of luck to you as well

Just wanted to pop in and say GL! I'm relatively new to the board after lurking for a while and TTC #2. I'm 28 and was in your exact shoes when I had DS at 26 and while some of my friends were married, no one was even close to having kids! 

It can feel isolating at times, especially when TTC can be frustrating and your friends don't understand, but ppl can be in such different phases in your 20s -  someday they'll all be coming to you for advice!
