@NamelessAria Thanks lady, sounds like you had a juicy confession spilled to you last night! Did you see that coming from his end?!
I did not! I actually started laughing because I thought he was joking. And then he's like "No this isn't a joke. I'm totally serious." So we talked about it for a bit because I still thought it was some elaborate joke but then finally decided that he is serious. I think my husband saw it coming though because a couple of months ago we'd all gone somewhere together and when my husband and I got home my husband just had a meltdown about how my friend is totally in love with me and it's so obvious to everyone but me. And I insisted that no we're just good friends and it isn't like that at all. I guess my husband picked up on some things I didn't pick up on and I suppose I owe him an apology because he was right.

@NamelessAria Wow that is heavy stuff!! I hope for your sake that it kind of resolves itself without too much awkwardness. I'm sure it will be hard to maintain a solid friendship, on his end anyway, with his feelings not being reciprocated. Did you tell your husband about the convo?! I had a similar situation with a good guy friend when I was dating MH. MH kept telling me G was in love with me and I laughed it off. I think I didn't want to believe it because I really enjoyed his company, but knew I didn't have those feelings for him. Eventually it was a situation I couldn't deny, and unfortunately we've grown apart. Probably for the better on both our ends. I hope you can maintain a friendship as he seems to be important to you!
@beary67 I am the same way. I'm still temping and will probably do OPK just out of fear of ovulation before my follow up scan. Even though I know I'm triggering and will know "when" I'm O'ing, I still need to track
same. I temp because it's a habit and I kind of want to be able to mark it if I get a BFP lol. For TI and the trigger I just overrode O with the day after the trigger. It's not like the actual day really matters since the progesterone extends my LP anyways . I'll probably make the IUI as O this time.
NamelessAria, I think it really sucks that guys seem to have such a hard time being platonic friends. What did he gain from telling you he loved you and possibly imploding your friendship? It's just really cliche on his part and disrespectful to your marriage.
Sorry, might have touched a sore spot for me because I lost a close college friend when he pulled this BS - he didn't let things go back to normal and he kept pushing it until I told him we couldn't be friends anymore. I hope your friendship can survive it and that he doesn't make things awkward.
I blame rom-coms.

@NamelessAria that is a major bummer. My best guy friend from college and I fell out after I met my husband. He never told me he loved me or anything but he never tried to make friends with my husband which made it impossible to keep him as a friend. It is a shame its so hard to keep friends of the other sex - some of the best times in my life were with him as my best friend.
@Megzb510 thanks - like I said, I'm new to all this and this is our first month of DTD without any...barriers. So I wasn't really expecting to be TTC but now that AF is 8 days later than she usually is I'm concerned. But if I end up seeing AF I will definitely be temping. Thanks!
@kaylev0430. Please read the newbie guide. There is a lot of great information in there that will totally help you not drive yourself so crazy, if you actually Read It. If you weren't temping, you don't know when you O'd. If you're saying AF is 8 days "late" with BFNs, then you O'd later than you think.

READ THE GUIDE, lurk moar, use the search tool, and hopefully things will start to click for you and make a little more sense. GL!!!
*lurking* omg, @NamelessAria that's insane. Sorry you have to deal with that...I imagine it's not an easy task at all Hopefully your husband doesn't totally freak out about it.

@kaylev0430 - a lot of newbies don't temp the first month and after a month of thinking they are "late" and peeing on all the sticks, they turn to temping and the tips in the newbie guide and TCOYF. It will be reassuring to see the temp shift that confirms ovulation. You will know when you are legit late versus not knowing if you just ovulated late. I had two 45 day annovulatory cycles in a row after I removed the IUD. I would have been peeing on sticks for 2 weeks thinking I was pregnant if I wasn't temping.
