mushrooms

Zoebot · February 2010

forewarning - i tend to ramble, and i'm aching to talk about this to anyone who'll listen, so here i am, posting on a chat forum :

have been ttc for 5 months now, and every month i get hopeful until AF shows up... we haven't told anyone that we're ttc, and DH's thoughts are "we'll have sex, and sooner or later, you'll get pregnant"...

meanwhile, i get stir crazy every time i'm supposedly ovulating or when my period is due. my cycles seem to go 36 days for two months, then 24 days for two months, back to 36 days for two months, and so on... it's obnoxious to say the least.

anyhow, lately i can't seem to get enough mushrooms - i could eat them with almost every meal, and i used to hate mushrooms....

i thought my period was due today, but turns out it's not due for another two days. so where i was starting to get hopeful when AF wasn't showing up, turns out it could go either way. i don't really feel pregnant, but i want to hope that i am... and yet i know that stressing about it can reduce my chances of getting pregnant.

does anyone else feel like they're going crazy ttc?

any advice?

(ps - thanks for listening... it's helpful to know there's someone else besides DH who can empathize with me)

I hate mushrooms. Its a texture thing.

You need to take a breath! TTC can be an exhausting and heartwrenching thing.

Have you tried charting to know when youre ovulating? Check it out at fertilityfriend.com.

Oh me to!

Actually it is a proven fact that your taste buds change. So the things that you never liked before, you start liking now. It is normal.

Like I hated raspberries a few years ago and now I pop them like candy.

MUD.

It has to be.

Right???

I don't know how to respond.

I know, right! I used to absolutely hate green beans and now i cant get enough of them. Wait, is that a sign?

Same here. I've been eating them with everything. Cereal, sandwiches, and even my ice cream. Ugh they are so good.

Oh, maybe thats my problem. I should try putting them in my ice cream!

Since this is her first post I don't think it's MUD. So OP Honey, trust me that we've all been there where we believe every possible sign means we're knocked up. But it probably doesn't. cravings don't normally kick in before you get your BFP, chill out and roll with it. The first few months of TTC I was convinced that I was burping a lot more then normal near AF and it must mean I was PG, but nope...turns out I just never notice I burp alot!

Is this the other poster that DD'ed and GBCTTGP the other day and had a thing against using capital letters? Faithful blah blah blah?

I don't know why you want to eat so much fungus. I'd get checked out if I were you.

Love it! Let's all eat some 'shrooms! "One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small."

I know it may seem hard, but just try to not let make you go crazy. It an take a healthy couple up to a year to conceive....

canthardlywait426 · February 2010

WAIT! Maybe I dont like mushrooms because Im eating the wrong ones......

yeah, i'm super new to this, and no, i'm not this other non-capitalizer you're referring to (unless i've been sleep-blogging?)

and while i'm catching up on most abbreviations, i have no idea what MUD, DD or GBCTTGP are short for...

Well next time before you rush right into posting about mushrooms on a TTC board, read the top post that asks if you're new here. That might help.

Its not a blog. Its a message board,

MUD- Made up Drama

DD- Dirty Delete

GBCTTGP- goodbye cruel trying to get pregnant.

IF you really didnt know what they meant. Cause Im bored.

qtsreign · February 2010

She DID include a disclaimer that she rambles...

OP- google the phrase phantom symptoms. Or you could be KU. If you want to know, pee on a (mushroom) stick.

Edited for clarity.

Here, I have the perfect test for you!

Rubypercy · February 2010

I love the mushroom pregnancy test that is hilarious! I actually love mushrooms, but when I was pregnant with DD I couldn't bear to eat them or be near them. So for me, definitely not a pregnancy thing. Actually, I went crazy for fish, but I already knew I was KU. I will give the OP the benefit of the doubt, chalk it up to phantom symptoms. I have frickin phantom symptoms every fricken month!

I don't want to sound hateful, but do you lurk at all??? We're all going crazy on this board! BTW I love love love mushrooms...DH hates them

Zoebot · February 2010

sorry folks, i had no idea i was supposed to know everything before posting

no, i haven't really "lurked" around much - i've been reading articles on the bump for awhile now, but i just recently caught on to the chat feature...

i guess i was just feeling so frenzied, and i had to get it out.

thanks everyone for all the helpful comments, though, it was much appreciated!
