I'm tired. (Whine and cheese)

KC1212 · October 2013

I'm tired of taking ten billion OPKs.
I'm tired of temping.
I don't know what my CM looks like.
I'm not sure what CD I am.
I THINK I'm in my FW?
My temps don'ts shown a clear O drop.

I'm 5 months into TTC #2 and I'm tired of all the manic planning that has to go into it.

I feel like this month might be an unplanned break because, I feel like I'm running on empty and at night I crash when I go to bed.

Okay, this post has no point. Has anyone ever felt like this? It's not that I don't want to try but, I'm just physically and emotionally tired from it.

I stopped doing all the opks and charting several months ago. It just made me feel like a crazy person. I know when my FW is. I know how to get pregnant. I didn't do any of that s*** when I got preg before. So the answer to your question is yes...been there! I'm still not pregnant and still sad about it but I feel like I'm in a much better place about it emotionally than I was 4-5 months ago.

All. The. Time. (((Hugs))) it is very hard to keep the optimism and energy up all the time. I hope you have a better day today and find some peace

That really sucks that you are feeling that way. I don't think I ever really got to that point in my natural cycles. There were months when I would get a little frustrated, but never to the point where I just wanted to say "screw this" We gave it 19 perfectly timed cycles, and I charted and OPKed our IUI cycle as well.

That's not to say I'm not really enjoying the first break in all that time, but it's weird, I feel like I'm constantly looking for things to do since I'm not obsessing over my cycle. I've been watching Nurse Jackie from the beginning. I started 3 days ago, and I'm half way through season 3 now. That just shows you how lost I'm feeling with our flagrant TTC endeavors

You know yourself better than anyone else, so if you feel like you need a break then it's definitely time for a break!

I think the problem is I've got a lot going on and I'm falling asleep as soon as I hit the bed and it doesn't make for great sex, ya know?

Not when it's like - crap I gotta stay awake lemme down this Mt Dew real quick and then we'll have sex. haha.

And then in the morning sometimes I'm forgetting my temp or taking it an hour later because I've over slept.

I know why I'm tired. It's not medical. It's schedule. Haha.

I'm sorry @KC1212. Hopefully your schedule slows down so you can take a breather or have sex... whichever

Hugs! I stopped temping and charting because it's way to subjective in my opinion. I also stopped OPKs but have to start again tomorrow because this is my first cycle of Clomid for this go round. We have had to take two "focusing on TTCing" breaks but we still tried and it helped a little because it was more spontaneous. I do keep up with my predicted CD and OD but it's annoying because I never know if it's even remotely accurate. It's discouraging but keep your head up! I know that's easier said then done. We've had to get creative in making scheduled sex fun and it really seems to help. Definitely try lunch breaks and different times of the day. Good luck! We're here for you. This is the best place for support ever!

HUGS. I quit charting months ago because it made me a crazy person. I packed up the CBEFM last month because it obviously wasn't doing any good. Based on what my OB says today, I may pack up the OPKs for a while.

I have days like this, but within hours of feeling this way I go right back to obsessing about it. 2IF sucks -_-
