I'm so so sorry @Aera11. Hugs!

@Aera11 I really hope you can get some time away! I've been off (well I've been nannying 12-20 hrs/wk but I consider it off bc it's so much different than a 60 hr work week and 12 hrs of commuting) for 4.5 months and I finally feel like I can breathe again. I miss work a little now but I k ow it was the right decision for me.

Aera11

Yeah that sounds really nice @SoonToBeMommaHowe! Is it hard being around kids when ttc? I own a small business and nannied a bit in and off just to make extra money during my slow season, but I don't know how I'd be now.

SoonToBeMommaHowe

@Aera11 oddly enough it's never been babies or little kids (unless it's twins, I did have to turn down a nannying job offer for twins) that trigger me its bumps and announcements. Every time I hear someone else is KU and it's not me I have no idea how I'm gonna react....utter meltdown, 3 hour cry fest, can't peel myself off the couch for an entire day...but babysitting I can handle. It does rattle me sometimes when people ask questions implying that it's my kid but other than that not bad.

Booo! So sorry @Aera11. I remember so many times daydreaming about quitting my job and focusing on my own health/peace. I'm not a high anxiety person, but sometimes I would get to the point of almost having a panic attack. It is so very draining in so many ways. Hope you feel better  I too am so very glad that I have you all who can relate

So sorry @aera11. Hopefully you can take
some time off to help you mentally/emotionally.

So sorry @Aera11. It's such a let down. Maybe taking some time off of work and focusing on just you would be helpful. This journey is so draining- it's really needed. hugs to you. Do something nice for yourself today- my something nice was an iced coffee and a chocolate chip cookie from a cafe I love

I´m sorry @Aera11  Sometimes you need time off, it's good to take it if you can. I also took some time off after my 2nd MC and it was totally worth it, to feel better, regroup, and be able to face the world again.

hugs!

Aera11

Oh good @SoonToBeMommaHowe!  I can totally relate, bumps + announcements = me an emotional wreck.

Thank you @2fitBees.  I was never a high anxiety person either, but I guess infertility + losses has done that to me.  And I can totally relate to your panic attack situation, I've had a few since my D&C in January.

Thanks @szwill86 @yolandamunoz & @roxgibbons, @roxgibbons I went to get a pedicure, had a pumpkin spice latte and met DH for a late lunch.  I feel a little bit better (and am so glad I am not working today).  

All your kind thoughts mean so much to me.  I love that we can help lift one another up.  Trying to look at CD1 as a fresh start

@Aera11 Hugs  I think if you can do it, the time off could absolutely be a good thing. I hope you were able to do something nice for yourself today.

@Aera11 sorry

It's CD25 for me, where are my cycle buddies???

brooklyngirl18

@yolandamunoz I'm a few days behind you at CD20. No crosshairs yet but I think I'm 2DPO so I've got another week to wait.

yolandamunoz

there you are @brooklyngirl18

I think I am on CD25. This month was my first month using an OPK, and I had a positive reading on CD14, that was early for me, and also had ovulatory pain. I used the digital clearblue, so it was not a faint or strong or dark line, it was a smiley face

I tried to plan BD accordingly.. but kept having EWCF for some days after my supposed O day. Anyway... my thermal shift happened on CD18 and now I am waiting and seeing...

brooklyngirl18

good luck @yolandamunoz when do you plan on testing?

yolandamunoz

I'm trying not to test until a missed period, so it has to be CD30 at least !

thats what I say now...

MimoCa

BFN this morning which at this point I've resigned myself to it.  Since things are getting hectic and stressful I'm relieved. Now I'm just waiting for AF to show so I can finally have a clean slate! I'm going to be on the TWW since I'm pretty sure I'm out.

NewMommyCoop

Sorry for the BFN @MimoCa. It does sound like you will be super busy with the restaurant opening. FX for next cycle.

szwill86

Sorry @mimoca for the BFN, FX for next cycle. See you in the October WTO thread in a few days  

Aera11

Sorry for the BFN @MimoCa

MimoCa

@NewMommyCoop @Aera11
 Thanks ladies! 
@szwill86 see you in a few at the WTO thread

brooklyngirl18

@mimoca sorry for the bfn

MimoCa

@brooklyngirl18 thank you

SoonToBeMommaHowe

Sorry about the BFN @MimoCa! Come back over with the gang in WTO and we'll start the crazy train all over 

MimoCa

@SoonToBeMommaHowe OK IL be right over not for two but wtbbsc lol

2fitBees

@MimoCa BFNs are so discouraging!!! FX for your next cycle 

@brooklyngirl18 FX for you and good luck with the wait! It can drive you mad....

@yolandamunoz we're cycle buddies!! Today is CD26 for me as well. I know CD30 would be best for me too, but I haven't been very patient. I have tested twice so far 7DPO and 9DPO, both BFN.

yolandamunoz

Yay @2fitBees !!! When did you O? 

Im trying to stay cool and not test. Let's see if I am still cool on Saturday!

2fitBees

@yolandamunoz On the 19th, CD16. It's so hard to wait! Part of me says I'll wait until Sunday or Monday (CD29/30) to test again and the other part of me wants to find out ASAP, no matter how many tests it takes. I hate the BFNs... it makes PG seem so very far away, no matter how many symptoms I'm having. Since my last MC I have had more intense PMS symptoms, with very similar PG symptoms. The only thing that has me convinced it may not be PMS this time is the intermittent extreme nausea and fatigue. FX it's not just a monster PMS!

MimoCa

@2fitBees thanks. I know, I'm actually over testing now,and just waiting patiently for AF 

yolandamunoz

Oh I know @2fitBees it's so hard!!! 

Im trying to keep it cool and do lots of
things this weekend (I have choir rehearsal tonight and then we sing on Sunday, Saturday also my voice lesson and another rehearsal, hopefully go out with friends also helps)

but if AF hasn't come on Sunday I guess I have to test. specially because I take a drug twice a week to keep my prolactin low, and if I'm pregnant I have to stop taking it. Next time I take it is Monday. So I guess it's POAS Sunday!! 

Who is with me?

brooklyngirl18

good luck @yolandamunoz and everyone else testing this weekend. I won't be testing til Friday when I'm back from my trip. 

2fitBees

I'm weak. I tested again this morning and of course BFN. I'm not losing hope yet, but I am going to wait until missed AF to test again. At this point I'm like, "If it happens, it happens." :P

yolandamunoz

No AF yet. No testing yet.
just wanted to check in! 

DungeonTrollMel
