What do you do for a CD1 pick-me-up?

heathergirl67 · March 2011

Since it's obviously disappointing, to say the least, when your period starts, is there anything you do to make yourself feel a little better? It can't be anything too expensive, since we have the pleasure of greeting so many cd1s. That would really add up. And although a glass of wine sounds good, it's only noon here. I don't want really want to head down that road, haha.

Do you have a ritual? Something you always do to make yourself feel better? Maybe a pedicure? Thanks to the advice of my therapist, I've been allowing myself to get hopeful about TTC again and so the disappointment is even more bitter. I need something to soothe my soul, but I don't have any bright ideas. Wanna help a sistah out?

Wine. Regardless of the time of day. I'm sorry about CD 1 Sad

Hugs!

Because I feel like crap emotionally and physically, CD was always my 'free' day. No exercise unless a yoga class or walking the dog actually sounded good, and a dinner of whatever I wanted (and usually got DH to cook).

However, I'm 20+ pounds heavier than when I started so yeah... maybe my plan isn't the best.

Music always makes me feel better. Mix that with some drinking and I am good to go. So sorry about CD1, they sure do suck!

I agree with BGP, do whatever you need to do. I do whatever feels good, an ice cream cone from McDonalds (I don't know but that is a favorite treat of mine) or maybe a shamrock shake. A pedicure sounds lovely too. I also drink when I get home from work- usually wine but sometimes something harder. Just to take the edge off.

On CD1 I do whatever the fvck I want. Sometimes it's drink myself stupid, sometimes it's eat a cheeseburger, sometimes it's go ride my horse when I "should" be doing something else.

Do whatever makes you feel good!

Yeah, except o.b. doesn't make the super mega absorbant vag torpedos anymore, and that makes me angry. Ba$tards.

I did that yesterday. I guess no one would accuse me of being too optomistic.

I don't really do anything but mope, but that's a good idea. Maybe a mani/pedi or a little shopping. Sending hugs.

I?m sorry about CD 1. I usually have a drink of some sort, watch trash TV or chick flicks, or listen to my favorite music.

I usually have a few drinks when I get home from work. I also treat myself to something, doesn't have to be anything big but something like a new book or a new pair of earrings.
