I have been trying sooooooooo hard to get into the holiday spirit lately, but after this weekend I have just lost all hope ![]()
I forgot how many FHs surface during this time of the year and take the opportunity to rub their FHness in my face. Since last Thursday I have been subjected to 7 pg announcements and 3 births, not including the countless FB posts and then all of the children and babies being paraded around in their "adorable [friggin] holiday outfits" so that everyone can ooooooooooh and coooooooooo over them ![]()
We celebrated Christmas with my ILs and DHs grandmother yesterday (she's the most insensitive biotch in the entire world) and of course she couldn't keep her fvcking comments to herself.
To top it all off, I am feeling so incredibly fat and unattractive lately - I literally do not event want to go out into public, I feel so gross.
AND my stupid body won't get it's fvcking act together - I have no idea what's going on again this cycle and it looks like the Clomid may have been a total bust ![]()
I'm so sorry ladies - I know that this time of the year is rough on all of us. I hate it, it's so unfair. I cannot imagine a more deserving group of woman and it just sucks that we're all in this situation.
((((HUGEHUGS))) for everyone.

Re: It's the most awful time of the year
(((((hugs)))))
I know exactly how you feel.
As for your cycle i'd give it a few more days. Have your OPKs looked like they've been getting darker? I was made aware that when people have long ass cycles as we do that sometimes it can take up to CD 26 - CD 28 for something to happen. I hope that O starts soon!

Thanks for the good thoughts
It's actually funny you should ask - I have been obsessing over my OPKs looking for a "fade-in" to my surge and for a while there is looked like it might happen... but lately, nothing. The test lines have become pretty much non existent the past few days
Before the loss I was a fairly regular O'er on CD28, so we were hoping that the Clomid would help to induce an earlier O - sadly that doesn't look like it's going to be the case, at this point I guess I am just hoping to O at all since I didn't O last cycle either.
Sigh - is it 2011 yet?
Thanks lady
I get so excited when I see your ticker, you're so close to start testing!!!! I've got everything crossed for you, good luck tomorrow!

I am so right there with you! This holiday season has been the saddest one ever... my DB and I MC right before thanksgiving and I was so excited AF arrived and we could TTC again but my body is not cooperating and I think I Oed already and missed it??? But I have no clue cuz my CM is not changing?? Ugh! Now I get to go to visit my IL's and listen to both my SIL's talk about being PG and hold their bellies.. it doesnt help that they dont tone it down or talk less about it when I am there! Its like they dont even care I am hurting! and FB is the worst I have seen more baby pics with little santa hats then i need to see in a life time! Ba Hum Bug!
