Re: ~*~June Bugs Check-In 9/30/14 ~*~
Yeah, BFN on 12DPO...expecting AF on Friday :-S
This is how I been feeling lately
With all the shit that is going on in my life with yet another cycle of ttc, my best friend being a complete BITCH to the point that we might stop talking to each other after being friends for 15+ years, and with work really maiking it hard for me to focus on school...I am just going to patiently (maybe not so patiently) wait for the storm to be over.
In the mean time, I am going to stuff my face and study for yet another exam that I am not prepared for.
Have a great day ladies!!

I snuggle with a kitty and turn down the tv for only whit noise.
PS...sorry for all the gifs...I am clearly finding ALL ways to procrastinate today b-(
rmpar29 --- Thanks for the check in! Have you tried chamomile tea? I used to make it for H when he would have a hard time going to sleep. (Try not to add any sugar in to it.)
GL and I hope you get some shut eye!

My Chart
Unfortunately, I HATE all tea and coffee. I wish I liked both at this point in time. I tried snuggling with my dog last night, but he's a terrible snorer, so that didn't work. I use a fan for white noise and that was on. Just nothing worked.

@kittymeowbark, ((hugs)) to you hon. I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of that. Good luck to you on your exam, and I'll pray that things start to turn around for you.
@rmpar29, have you tried any meds or is your insomnia frequent enough that meds would need to be more than just an occasional fix? Since Unisom is something that you can take while pregnant for morning sickness, I assume it's probably fairly low for TTC too. Speaking of which, it looks like you're still TTA? Was that a personal decision or did your BCP get extended?

I used to visualize things, like things I wanted to happen. This summer kind of left me void of good thoughts though and I'm having a hard time visualizing good things. I hadn't tried pushing the thoughts away. I don't think it sounds weird at all.

@rmpar29, thanks for the support, lady. I keep hoping that making it past my due date will be some kind of milestone for me but I think my thoughts will just morph into thinking how old my baby should be, remembering that I was supposed to be on maternity leave for certain project implementations at work that I'm instead working on, remembering when I pull a bra out of my drawer in the morning that I'm supposed to be wearing a nursing bra instead, etc. Every stinkin thing manages to be a trigger somehow. Hopefully my PMS and AF emotions are just amplifying all of this anxiety recently and that next week I'll be in a better place.
Good luck to you with the weight loss and taking care of some personal things! I hope you're back in the game and in a good spot soon! When the day comes, will you be trying naturally or will you be jumping into IUI? I feel like I should know that already but I don't think I do...

@CheesyPeas --- oh hun. LOTS and LOTS of hugs to you. Sorry AF showed herself. I know exactly how you feel about wanting a rainbow before the EDD. Really really sucks and I am sorry. I do find the weeks leading up to an EDD harder than the day itself. Try not to dwell on it ( I know it is easier said than done.) It took us almost a year to KTFU with baby J and clearly it is taking a long time this round as well. It gets harder to deal with each month, but we keep trying because at the eod we want our rainbow. HUGS and hopefully you have your rainbow very soon.

My Chart
@kittymeowbark - Diet Pepsi is my go-to in the morning. I've tried many different varieties of tea and coffee and don't like any of them. Ever dark chocolate tastes like coffee to me and I can't eat it. I do understand growing apart. My best friend and I are definitely not as close as we used to be. We're just at really different stages of life. We are still there for each other if the other one needs use, but we only actually talk once in awhile anymore. I know how much it hurts to lose that close friendship. I hope you are able to work through this and move on in whatever manner is best for you.
@MrsG80inTN - Nice to "see" you girly! I'm really surprised that you don't get a temp spike with an HCG trigger. Have you brought that up to your RE? That's a bit concerning to me. I'm keeping everything crossed for you lady! If this cycle doesn't work, maybe you should push to try Femara next cycle. Just a thought...
Just need to whine a bit...I'm having another migraine today. I've taken stuff to help me sleep, but I'm wondering if I'm pushing myself too hard in my workouts and that's causing my migraines. I don't feel like I'm overexerting, but it seems like the days I really push and burn a lot of calories that I get a migraine. I need to do some research today to see if that's a possibility.
