@linzrunz my heart skipped a beat for you when I saw you were 14 dpo!!! So sorry about the - :'( I dont even know your sister, and I kinda want to TP her, is that bad? I must be having a particularly grouchy TTC day...
@TravelingCouple@linzrunz Telling vs not telling: we've been quite open with the closest friends and family from the beginning (mostly because we didn't think it would take this long to be honest). After a while I learnt to be careful when and how I voice my frustration - unfortunately my family and some of my friends jump too quickly to "problem-solving mode", and they want to quick-fix my "problem" of being sad or disappointed. So understand both sharing and keeping the intimacy. Luckily I have those too who just know when to hug me. And it's great we have each other here to support. Some days are tougher but I honestly believe that we'll get there. And let's not forget that your cards are still at play, rooting so much for you
Me: 33, DH: 38 Married: May 2015 TTC since September 2015
@linzrunz@BusinessWife I can totally relate on the sister front.. My sister sent me her 12 u/s photo the other day and I feel like a huge asshole bc it's so hard to be happy.. But it's my own niece or nephew and I can't even feel excited. She and her hubby also just "thought" about trying and got pregnant first shot. So did my other sister..5 times. My Dad reminded me how fertile he and my mom were recently.. Thanks Dad. Apparently I'm the ugly duckling in the family. Can I tp my whole family?

Lol For as ridiculous as my mom can sometimes be, and she doesn't know we have been actively ttc this long / getting treatment, I kind of have to give her props for being so supportive of my lesbian cousins' ivf. (Yes, the <i>lesbians</i> in our family got ku *before us :/ ) at least I know if it came to it, we could count on her support, too... not that I want to have to go there, or that ivf comes with any guarantees either, but anywho. <img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/fx/y5hwr2h4xe5r.gif">
@ag90 that's what I thought but then if the yeast infection alters the environment in which sperm have to get to the egg, perhaps it kills the sperm. A baby is already established in the uterus so I'm not sure. Also, I want to learn to sew. Mostly for dog clothes.
@KariAnn323 I take a prescription prenatal too but only because I get it free with insurance
@jessafishy I've thought of learning some coding because I want to blog some day.
Well CD 28 and just woke up to spotting so I guess I'm out.
When we first started TTC only my SIL and best friend knew. They were really supportive. When we started TTA I went on the pill for a few months because we thought we'd TTA for a year and since coming off it they don't know we're trying but I did tell them I'm not on the pill anymore. My mother has told me multiple times that "I'm not ready to have kids yet" which really means she doesn't want to be a grandma yet. She is young since she had me at 17. We have a rough relationship though so I'm not expecting her to play grandma.
@slaven @ag90 Yeast infections, while unpleasant and can get passed back and forth between partners, shouldnt affect sperm. The vagina is natually an acidic environment, i.e. hostile to sperm, so whether or not a person has a yeast infection alone shouldn't make a difference.

@linzrunz I have a sister like that with 4 kids and honestly I don't think she's that good of a mother. It pisses me off and I had to cut her off since she uses them as excuses, yet doesn't pay attention to them.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
