TTC After a Loss

*|*| Nightly Confessions |*|*

Evening ladies!!  What's your New Year's Day confession?

 

 

*** Just a reminder -  the Nightly Confessions post is not so much about what you are doing this evening but more to confess something that you did today that you wouldn't tell anyone else.***

Re: *|*| Nightly Confessions |*|*

  • DH is really getting on my last nerve with his new found food finickiness...

    I made bread the other day from scratch...I had a loaf left that I needed to use up so I made french toast...I made it like he always likes it and he doesn't like it! He wants me to make new bread and do it again...I about cried. I told him either eat what I gave him or order something...I was done cooking. He has loved my cooking forever and genuinely liked it until the last week where he hasn't liked diddly I have made... I have nothing to be proud of anymore... I feel like a failure and I can't even cook anymore I guess...I am trying so hard to make him happy... but oh well. 

    I hope facebook unbans me soon...I still can't comment and it's pissing me off.

    Trying to Conceive Ticker
  • I'm very jealous of my BIL and SIL. They have this wonderful house, an adorable son, and things just seem to always happen for them. I love to hang out with them, and they never shove their good fortune in our face... but it still kind of stings when we come back home. It's like, Oh yeah. We're not doing as well as they are.

    I'm really glad that you stood up to your H.  Between this and the whole "duck incident" that you described earlier, I would be extremely unhappy with DH.  It sounds like he's being a brat and trying to "poke the bear" and start a fight.  Do not get down on yourself (I'm so impressed that you made duck and bread from scratch!).  You're going through a really rough time right now and his behavior is not helpful at all.  I'm sending you ((HUGE HUGS)) over the air and I wish you could send me some of the french toast you made - yum!

  • I have a few confessions: 

    I just ate at outback steakhouse, and had their cheese fries. I feel guilty and fat now.

    I haven't been to yoga since before xmas. I didn't go after xmas because I thought the evening classes would be too busy with people getting into yoga before the New Year holiday. Today I didn't feel like going because, lets be honest, I was hung over. And tomorrow my class isn't offered....

    I've eaten 2 balls of frozen raw cookie dough today, and done almost no chores.

    Mmmmm, Outback cheese fries are the best!  My confession?  I told DH we couldn't TTC until I get cleared by the OB on Thurs. but they really told me I could go ahead as soon as I stopped bleeding.  Just not wanting to waste my BD unless it's going to be good for something.  I feel horrible!

    I am sorry! I know how ya feel (Check out my chart for this cycle and last cycle) 

    Thanks so much for letting me see that - wow - it's just so difficult to figure it all out. I also had my bbt therm break over the holiday while we were at the ranch - couldn't go "out" to get one because there was no place to get one. bfe! I now have this huge gap in my temps - five days to be exact - but I at least had my opks and they were all negative. doc said I should O between weeks 4 and6 after my surgery and d&c - we are coming up to week four now but all my cm signs were way back in week 2. but FF didn't mark it as O... so... I hate the waiting. It's like I think about it non stop. Now that we are back home and back on a routine I can focus on other things - like my kid, crafts, playdates. all I wanted from santa was for my body to O. silly huh?

  • I also planned to start the whole exercise/healthy eating thing right at the new year, but at this point I fully plan to eat a bunch of snacks tomorrow, leftover from our NYE party and start on Monday.

    I also told myself I would go to the gym every day over break and I haven't even gone once or cared.

    I understand.  All day today I have been totally jealous of anyone who has a 28 day cycle.  I'm on CD 40 and I'm only 10 DPO.  To top it off I got a BFN this morning and now I'm feeling depressed that not only will I not have a September baby, October is going to be out as well.  I know its not over yet, since I'm only 10 DPO, but today I'm feeling depressed.  Thankfully DH saw that I was depressed and bought me roses today. He used to never buy me flowers, but since my mc he's bought them a lot to cheer me up.

  • I have been hiding from my family/friends for 5 days now b/c I got a BFP on Monday evening, but had a low, low temp that day and I did not think all was going to end well.  Then a few days passed and I felt safer and thought maybe it would all be ok, but alas, woke up on NYE to AF, so a chemical PG for me.  Sad

    I was so hoping to get to tell my parents today that 2011 was going to be a better year..sigh.

  • I'm a self-righteous b***h who thinks her in-laws are quite ridiculous with their let's drink too much at bars and pretend we're in our 20's.  And to legitimize their riduculousness they are launching a music talent booking agency in their community of 500 people.  Really? 

    Like I said, self-righteous.

     

  • I've been so lazy today.  I finally managed to get some laundry going, but I'm still sitting here in my pj's and have zero intentions of getting dressed.  I'm also sitting here debating whether or not I want to FWP again tonight.  L.A.Z.Y.

  • I cried today when I saw all the BFPs. While I'm so excited for everyone, it hit me hard because AF officially arrived today after slight spotting for a few days. I think it was also a build up of 2010 finally being over.
  • My boobs are still sore so the MF has me in denial that its really CD2.

  • DH and I got in a pretty large argument (for us at least) tonight.  I finally went to our bedroom because he was just apologizing to smooth things over, not work things out.  He came into the bedroom, we worked things out, and one thing led to another.  AF was pretty much gone, or so I thought.  When he pulled out, there was blood everywhere!  DH almost threw up and so did I!

  • I went to DH's dad's side of the family's christmas tonight and not only was my FIL's pregnant wife there but DH's dad's OLDER brother's girlfriend was there with their 2 months old.. I could stop the tears.. generally I can hold it until I'm alone but I couldn't today..also I bout throat punched FIL's wife when she was complaining about being pregnant.. I'm tired of hearing it.. atleast she is fvcking pregnant and will be meeting her son in a few weeks..

    Also on the same note.. me and DH's aunt have gotten really really close lately because we are always together.. so we kinda isolated FIL's wife and didn't talk to her at all.. not just because she was pregnant (while is part of my reasoning) but because none of us can stand her tactics as far as how she has been keeping FIL seperated from his family.. we went from seeing him every weekend to us seening him twice now in the past 3 months...biotch...

  • I am sick of DH leaving his clothes and socks everywhere, I am constantly cleaning up after him and when I say something to him about it he says he does clean up blah blah blah... but he doesn't. Sometimes I wonder why I married him.

    I'm so happy for all the bfp's around here latelly but the other part of me is jealous and angry that it's not me with a bfp. Sad
