Monday Pity Party B!tchfest!

vanillajen · June 2011

I don't usually do these...but today I feel the need to participate! I decided to take this cycle off from temping (genius, right?). It was nice the first month sleeping in and not worrying about it. I still had FF to give me a general guide of when I would O and I was going to check CM and use OPK. Well, ten days ago I start to regret not taking my temp so I start again hoping to somehow catch myself O or at least give me something to stalk. Well obviously that didn't work. All I know is my temperatures are generally high for me. Add in to the mix that I've had hardly any CM this cycle, zero positive OPKs, my boobs are KILLING me, I'm on CD 51 and no clue if I should keep taking OPKs or switch to pregnancy tests.

Blah. Well, that felt good to get out!

I've been spotting now for 6 days, and had to practically starve myself to lose the 3 pounds I gained since starting bcps a few weeks ago. Ok, I didn't starve myself, but one Pepsi a day instead of 5 might just be the death of me

DH invited out-of-town friends to stay at our house this weekend after we all attend a wedding on Friday. Friday night? Fine. Saturday night? Hotel please. We have to leave at 6am on Sunday for a cruise and I'd rather not have them letting themselves out at their leisure later that morning. The whole week we're on the cruise I'll be wondering if they locked the house properly or if they left the garage door up. Annoying. And I'd also really like all day to myself on Saturday to pack. I don't want to entertain guests.

Oh, and also? I've been feeling so incredibly fat lately. Perfect timing for a beach vacation. Ugh.

Oh I have another. At my coworkers wedding Friday night my DH was dancing ALL night with this precious 3 year old little girl who clearly had a crush on him (so cute!), but what I didn't need was my coworkers wives (3 of them) to tell me every FIVE minutes to give that man a child. Really people?!? Do you think I am holding my ute hostage or something? People really need to think before they speak. Then DH wanted to know why I was upset most of the night. People suck.

It's annoying enough (to me) when people constantly ask when you're going to have children... But this crosses the line for me. I probably would have had some smartass comment like, "Where can I find one to purchase?" or "Do you have one I can give him?"

You would think by about the 20th time they said something I would have come up with a comment by then, but instead I was trying to hard to hold back the tears and it wasn't like I could even run and grab DH and hug him or say something since he had that little girl in his arms all night.

My turn...

This is my first month TTC and the 2ww is no freaking joke! Some of you ladies had talked about the anticipation, but I was like, oh, whatever. I can't think about anything but whether AF will come or not on Friday. Every time my stomach growls or I have a slight pain I swear its implantation! I don't know whether to feel guilty about drinking or live it up for the last time! I watched the Duggar's DIL deliver a baby, and I could have done without that. It made me hope I'm not pregnant! Then I see a pampers commercial and think, "OMG! I want one of those soooo badly!"

Just judging by the 20% chance I have, I realize I'm probably not pregnant--- which leads me to ask, I have to spend two f-ing weeks like this every month for the forseeable future until this does or does not happen? And if it DOESN'T happen things only get more stressful and disappointing!!! sheesh!

I'm done now. Rant over.

I've been trying to track my ovulation and this is only the second month but I feel like I was all over the place. I was trying to do it without taking my temp so I wouldn't stress DH with "trying to hard" so I was just watching CM and monitioring my CP but I think it happened without me realizing it because I should def be in my 2ww now. (Hoping that the increased intimacy over the past few weeks did the job without us knowing!) I just thought it would be easier to tell, the signs seem so obvious when you read about them.

Wait a minute. You're on CD 51 and you haven't taken a single pregnancy test?

1) CD1 is around the corner, with 2 LOW temp drops the past two days. Cycle 10 here we go.

2) I went to a bridal shower Saturday where there were 6 pregnant ladies there. When I was in a conversation with 3 of them and got asked the question "So when are you two going to start trying" I did what made me feel best. I told them the truth... EVERYTHING! The felt like ants when I was done telling them my list of green tea, OPK's charting, blood work, SA's. They should no better next time to ask!

So it is my birthday and I just got a nice new car, so you would think everything would be great. But oh no, I had to scrape my brand new car against a curb!!! I have to replace the bottom plastic piece on the side of my car which will cost $330!! The funny thing is, I had just called my insurance to tell them we had a new car right before I pulled out and I changed my deductable from $1000 to $500. I don't need it this time, but I might have!

RequiresExalted · June 2011

The one cycle I don't temp, now I'm pretty sure I'm going to O "late" but I have no real idea.

I've O'd on CD14 the last four cycles... but this cycle I got violently ill on CD9.

Now it's CD19 and I still haven't seen a smiley face.

MH and I meet with the RE next Friday and while I'm not sure what plan of action for getting pregnant he'll present us, I know he's going to give me 2 options as far as getting rid of my "possible polyps" and I know which one I should do and I know which one I want to do....as of last Friday my RE siad he was 50/50 as to which one to do and he is also giving me a 50/50 chance of the "possible polyps" going away on their own with the meds.

Option 1: Take a medicine (I'm assuming something like Prometrium/Provera to get rid of the lining) and see if the "possible ployps" go away on their own and repeat my SHG to check.

Option 2: Do an exploratory hysteroscopy to see if they are real polyps and remove them.

I should do option one as it is less invasive. But, if I do it and they are real polyps then I have to do the hysteryoscopy anyway. Plus, the timing is getting close to school starting. If I go right to option 2, I should be able to get it in and recover before school starts back. If I do option 1 then have to do option 2 I'll be somewhere in Aug (possible Sept) and I CAN NOT take off of work that early in the school year.

UGH--I don't know what to do...

Oh, and! I haven't heard from my OB/gyn about the official results of my HSG or DH's SA. The HSG was 10 days ago and the SA was Wednesday - I thought I would have heard something by now. I went from being really happy and feeling lucky about finding an OB/gyn I liked to being totally disappointed. The only good thing is, the RE I'm seeing is one of the top 3 in the state, so I'm actually going to ask him to recommend a new OB for me.

Interesting. I knew the results before I walked out when I did mine. I didn't have an OB/GYN do mine but a radiologist. I'd be calling and finding out! MH had his SA done on a Monday and I knew the results by Friday.

The doc who did the HSG did say everything looked good. I'm not as worried about those results as I am about the SA.

I think my husband's SA took 3-4 business days, so hopefully those results will be in soon

This isn't related directly to the two questions this morning, but it drives me a little nuts when posters are obsessed with OPKs in early cycles. I don't know why either. It's like I picture them fumbling with all these contraptions (like the CBEFM) when there's a host of knowledge in their temps and other signs. Then they get all confused and frustrated when signs don't match. Well of course not - the CBEFM doesn't know your cycle. But know what does? Your CM. Your CP. If they focused on those and learning their cycle for a couple months, I feel like they'd get a lot more enjoyment out of the experience and this whole "temping is stressful" myth might get debunked. I feel like it's not the temping that's stressful - it's all the other stuff.

I agree. I stopped doing OPKs a few months ago, and it is amazing! Just temping and CM have given me a pretty clear picture every month so OPKs were really just something else to stress over and spend money on

I disagree! Stick out tongue I am not temping this cycle and I have not woken up once between the time I go to bed until I wake up! I am not stressed out about my what my temp is going to be in the morning and whether it means I'm out or whatever. It is liberating!! CM doesn't tell me anything since the first several month we were trying we were stopping short of our fertile window because my CM was misleading.

My PPBF:

My boss was supposed to be on vacation all next week. She just told me she decided not to take it off. Angry It is one thing to have to do my job and hers because she isn't here, but it's another that she pawns her job off on me and I have to do my job too when she is here. It was going to make the next two weeks go by fast because I would only have to deal with her for 3 days before I took my vacation. Crying

I HATE that I can't bump at work and talk to you ladies all day...and the time difference. I feel like I miss out on all the TTGP goodness. **Stamps foot in frustration**

Oh I've definitely taken a couple pregnancy tests! But I'm running low on my wondfo supplies of OPK and pregnancy tests so I'm not sure which ones I should be taking.

I've decided that Facebook annoys me... My friend and former college roommate told me she was pregnant through a facebook message. She also included "I know you are having a difficult time, and I hope this doesn't strain our friendship...if you ever need practice, I would let you borrow my baby!"

Bite me. I'm not annoyed that it only took her 2 months to get pregnant (ok, maybe a smig annoyed), it bugs me that she couldn't just pick up her cell and call me. What happened to phone calls? What happened to running into someone and not knowing what they ate for dinner last night or that they got starbucks this morning? I went to a part of my high school reunion and I already knew what was going on in everyone's life, what was the point of being there? The thing is, I know Facebook has it's perks, it does help people keep connected, so I know this is a lame rant. I am complaining about something that I could easily remedy.

Ok...end rant...sorry...

I am so tired of working 70+ work weeks! I am the only manager for 30 or so employees and I am tired of doing it by myself. They have been interviewing for another manager for the last 2 months and still have yet to hire someone. I find it very hard in this job market that they can't find someone qualified to fill the empty position. I am starting to think they just don't want to have two managers on the payroll.

I can't wait for my vacation at the end of July!
