TTCAL work buddy (OPK mentioned)

its been an unusual few days to say the least, but things do work out in unexpected ways! since last week at least 5 teachers at my school have "popped". and i'm actually dealing with that okay--i have a few teachers running interference for me so that way when pregnancy news is announced i have a trial "so happy for you, congratulations" reaction (in case i'm in a bad moment--i feel so awful i have to practice!). but i see them in the hallway and i don't run and hide, or start to cry, so i guess that 's good.

but a new science teacher was hired in september, and she and i work extremely close (we teach the same course). she m/c'd in october--and was in school the tuesday after her d & e (emergency on a sat night)...it was one of the first things she told me about herself, b/c she was so sick afterwards. anyway, after the loss of my son, we have actually gotten closer.

last week she came in a told me that we were cycle buddies, b/c she knew i had af just a few days before she did. and we've been sharing ever since--we have a lot of the same emotions (she m/c'd at 12 weeks), and reactions, and views, which is quite reassuring right now. we are actually both charting, and o'ing right now (i had my first + OPK today!). its just so strange the twists and turns of life!

its just nice to not be the only one at work right now going through "bad days" and avoiding pregnant women during these times. and while i love having the ladies on this board as support, when i can't get on during the work day, it is really nice to know that i have a woman IRL that i get to share with about all this, and not feel as crazy!

i just wanted to share how odd life is...i started the year not really thrilled about her, and not hitting it off, and now she is one of the only people in my work that i can talk about all this with. talk about timing....

anyway---here's some sticky baby dust and o dust for all of us, and maybe this will be our year for our take home babies! (btw i was angry at DH on sunday b/c i thought for sure we missed the o window, and he just wasn't into it....i apologized today when my chart still hasn't peaked temp yet, and got the + OPK. i wish our bodies were more predictable!)

I'm glad you have someone IRL that can give you the support you need. Since you got a +OPK today...have fun!

That is exciting that you have someone that can help you through IRL and that you can return the support too. That is always great to make a new friend, too

Have fun tonight!
