I lurk on the birth month boards on fridays to see the bloat/bump pics. I want a bump

I so do this too! And I like to add that I've been stalking the March Board hoping I can join soon

Both of these for me two!! And I'm not even sure I ovulated or even have a chance in hell of getting pregnant this cycle because our timing wasn't great.

I am pissed that a couple of DHs classes were cancelled this summer because of low enrollment. It means we will be staying in this place for at least another year, if not 18 months just so he can take 2 classes. He does not want to take an extra class each semester because he thinks he can't handle it. He took an extra class last fall and did just fine (3.8 term GPA!!!). He said he doesn't want to be too busy, but he doesn't work right now, and I believe his "job" should be to go to school so we can get the hell out of here and have all the babies we want. This whole ordeal has delayed our TTC and I am NOT happy about it.

- one of my BFFs was on here last night, I know she says they aren't ready to try for at least a few months, but I know she'll be KU before me and while I will be 100% thrilled for her, it makes me a little sad that I won't be the first of our friends to get pregnant.

- unless there are unique circumstances, I can't bring myself to congratulate someone who got KU on the first try, it is like congratulating someone for knowing how to dress themselves.

LOL (and so true!!)!!

I'm a little (well a lot) embarrassed that one of the reasons I wanna get KU stat is so that we can be the first in both families (immediate anyway).

MuseumMaven:

Every time someone posts on here about seeing pregnant women and it upsetting them, I feel bad because I DON'T feel that way and I get concerned that I don't want to have a baby as much as they do.

Same. I think it's dumb that people get upset about seeing pregnant ladies, instead of seeing the beauty of it.

lovelainie · June 2010

--This week I turned down middle-of-the-night sex so I could have an accurate temp.

--I quit smoking in January, when I stopped BCP... And on Monday I caved and bought a pack. I smoked five in a day before I freaked and threw them out the car window on my way home from work. ugh. It seems like the longer we TTC, the more I miss smoking. (Not the way I feel because of it, just the actual smoking.)

My first confession...

ALL of the young married couples on DH's side of the family have announced pregnancies since our loss in Feb. So, in four months I've gone from the only pregnant one to the only NOT pregnant one. I know deep down its childish and I truly am happy for every single one of them - but I still can't help but be upset that now they are all going through this together and I should be, but I'm not.

uhh... not to mention it has increased the, "so, when are you trying!?" questions. We haven't told them we're trying again for fear of having to un-announce. oh well...

youngin12 · June 2010

I'm scared to call the doctor to do something about my stupid cycles.

I really didn't want this confession to be about TTC but this is the only thing I can think of.

SC1977 · June 2010

I have another confession. I posted on a rainbows and puppies TTC message board earlier this week in response to a thread about my old neighborhood. Embarrassed

One of the posters PMed me to see if we lived there at the same time, but then it randomly turned into this whole diatribe about her life story (divorces and moving and remarriage, etc.). It weirded me out, so I haven't responded and am scared to go back to that site.

awesnap · June 2010

I can't stand my SIL sometimes. Because she:

1. Keeps saying how badly she wants to move away from MIL & FIL, even though they are super amazing. She is very into her own family, and I don't think the inlaws will get to see my nephew as much if they do now if they move away.

2. Says how MIL and FIL are not supportive, but yet paid their 20 grand hospital bill from being under-insured and having open heart surgery on my nephew when he was born.

3. Doesn't let DH and I babysit, ever. I think she believes we are incapable, because we don't have kids (yet).

Since I'm on Provera to force a period:

-I feel like I have nothing baby related to share with the board and usually end up posting about blogging or most recently my makeup brushes.

-I've allowed myself to be more hormonal and hence made DH feel bad for me. Last night be rubbed my feet for the first time in 2 years

-I'm totally bloated and had to unbutton my pants at work yesterday, I allowed myself to look at my bloat and pretend it was a baby bump for a few mins.

Whew.

ImaPanda · June 2010

I'm not even pregnant yet, but I watched "The Business of Being Born" which solidified so many thoughts and feelings I had regarding having a med-free, intervention-free, waterbirth, and now I'm OBSESSED with finding somewhere in CT to have a waterbirth (don't think I'm willing to risk a home birth during my first delivery), as well as finding a good midwife and possibly a good doula as well. Seriously, obsessed. I think I've done about 5 hours worth of work this week...

Oh, also, I've spend almost every evening this week watching "Pregnancy for Dummies" on Netflix on-demand, which is not teaching me anything, but it is soothing the baby rabies. I really should try to stop the insanity and concentrate on getting KU first.

Thank you for telling me that, I'm glad to not be the only one!

Me too! After seeing the movie, I borrowed a book about natural birth from a midwife friend of mine and spent a lot of time researching midwives who are covered by my insurance. I found one that, judging by her picture, looks really nice and just like someone I'd want delivering my baby.

Tulips114 · June 2010

ManiacMcGee:
One more thing. I HATE the term 'sticky baby' although I use it here.

Me too!

My confession is that I thought it was silly for someone to enter fake temps into FF to see if it would give CHs (when I saw a post about someone doing that). I've totally been doing that the last 3 days....as long as my temp is 97.6 or higher, I will get CHs tomorrow and I am super excited. But I was really hoping for a higher temp this morning.

Also, I've pretty much written off this cycle even though its really early. I just don't think it's our month.

RayRay007 · June 2010

I peed on an OPK last night bc I really wanted to pee on something, but didn't want to waste my last hpt.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has done this. I haven't in a while, but last month near the end of my cycle I did. I knew I wasn't KU.

Your not at all alone! :0)

jessjo04 · June 2010

I keep having sex/dating dreams about two specific guys from HS. I kinda miss that butterflies in the stomach feeling of a first date.

sunflwra · June 2010

Here we go...

- I'm scared to death that my inability to lose weight (which is purely due to lack of willpower and love of food) is a reflection of what type of mother I'll be- how can I be a good influence on a small human being if I can't even muster the strength to lose 20 lbs when I have no other responsibilities by my job and my husband?

- Even though I know it's a really smart idea to have some money put away before we start hardcore TTC, part of me really wishes I had a husband who just couldn't wait to start our family ( this is a good thing in the sense that he balances out my need for immediate gratification in all facets of my life, but still makes me sad)

- I found myself talking to a friend about TTC last night because she's new to it and knows nothing and I felt like I was some cult person after going on about bumping, TCOYF, FF.com, BBT, CM, LP, etc. I know it's all necessary information and she was totally appreciative, it was just weird

- I found myself needing to take a break from bumping after me and hubby decided to hold off TTC for a few months, thinking that I couldn't have it so in my face every day. But then I was gone for a few days and realized how much I missed this community that I don't even really know

- i love these posts because whatever your confession- misery loves company

busybeegirl1976 · June 2010

My first confession...

- I'm going to the OB today for my first check up before we start TTC #3. I'm afraid they are going to find something wrong.

- I don't want to hear the term "advanced maternal age", even though I'm only a year away from 35.

- Been using the excuse "we're going to start trying soon" to eat whatever the heck I want.

- Can't stop thinking about having twins just because my mom is a twin said she had I dream that I did have twin boys. And am now afraid that if I don't have twins, I'm going to be upset and disappointed that I only had one. Even have been lurking on the Multiples board. Shameful.

ProcrastinatingBride · June 2010

DH & I had a crazy sh!tstorm of drama w/ FIL (DH's dad) over the past 2-3 weeks. Other than my mom, I haven't talked to anyone about it b/c I'm too embarrassed by FIL's behavior and afraid friends IRL will judge me for marrying a (great) guy w/ a jacked-up family. Even though most of the drama seems to be over now, I'm still so sad about it.

AND it's CD1, which is NOT. HELPING. I'm seeing my mom & really close friends tomorrow and so wanted to have an amazing secret to whisper in their ears.

PSlove · June 2010

I'm over a week "late" (wasn't charting) and even though I've had 2 negative pee sticks I'm still convincing myself there may be a chance I'm KU. This has caused me to use the ladies room every 10 minutes during work today to check for spotting or AF. Hmm

I'm terrified that my DH's cousins wife will get KU before me. The girl is an uber b*tch, spoiled, and very superficial. She recently said to me "We're waiting for you to have kids since you've been married longer. Don't you feel like something's missing?" ARRRGH!

SoxFan777 · June 2010

kestock120:

I hate when parents name their kids something with some jacked up spelling just so they can be 'unique'.

I don't understand the fascination with Lady Gaga and think she just looks like a nasty tranny.

I'm getting tired of seeing negative OPKs and am wondering if I did miss my surge (I know, I know - I should be temping).

Holy crap! I agree with you on all 3 of these... I am so bad at OPK'ing at the same time every day, and Lady Gaga? I don't get the fascination. Her and that drunk who sang "rehab" are in the same category for me. Amy Winehouse!
