MANIC MONDAY!

hooligans4 · April 2015

It's Monday AGAIN, let's hear about what's going on in the upcoming week. Good or bad share it with us.

Guennie · April 2015

Rainy forecast here so we can't do the things I wanted to do this week. I think I'll try to come up with some craft ideas.

Not sure how I'm going to be feeling this week...the past several days I had sore boobs a lot and felt some random sharp pin prick type twinges. I also got really emotional the other day. Not wanting to read anything into it since I had PMS from hell last cycle. I'm now CD29 and although I think I would get at least a faint bfp if I were pregnant, I just stood in front of the tests for a good ten minutes agonizing over it and couldn't bring myself to buy one. Since I'm not certain when or if I even ovulated and there are still a few days to get af if my suspected O day was right, I just feel like it would be a waste of money. What's weird is that I feel perfectly normal today, I'm not even bloated. Oh except I'm getting a yeast infection. Fabulous.

@Guennie - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

This week is slow at work but busy at home. Waiting for the car dealership to call me back and let me know if they can get me approved for a new car. I have negative equity on the one I blew up so it's going to take some creative financing to hide that in a new loan. I'm on pins and needles today and h is super annoyed with me because of it.

As for ttc - I had a major temp dip yesterday and a huge rise today so I think I o'd yesterday. Trying not to stress or overthink it, but I have an obssessive personality so we'll see how that goes. And, it would just be fate that I'd get pregnant this cycle since I blew up my minivan and have to purchase a smaller sedan in order to get a new loan. Oh well.

@Guennie I know how hard it is to wait. It sounds like your symptoms could either indicate pregnancy or PMS...it's so hard when they are borderline. Fingers crossed for you!

I'm out of the game for this cycle :-( Had such high hopes and really thought I'd pinned down my O-day, but I had a progesterone test at 7DPO and just got the results today: my levels were super low (meaning I didn't even ovulate). I had all the signs - positive OPK, EWCM, drop in temp followed by a significant rise - but I guess it was just by body playing tricks on me. On top of that, I just wasted a ton of money by taking progesterone suppositories every day for the past 10 days, which made me feel sick and tired and just blah. I know we all spend a lot of money in this process so it's just something I have to get used to. I just wish there was a better way to know when I ovulate since I have all the signs but it doesn't always happen.

Not sure what to do next...Just feeling bummed since my highlight this week was going to be looking forward to testing day (which I was going to do this Friday).

Sorry to vent so much...just feeling defeated....

Guennie fx. Fwiw, I think you should test.

I had a roller coaster of a weekend. On sat H was being kinda shitty (his own pms??) so I got pissed as I was already feeling a anxious and a bit emotional, and I walked out of a cafe to the ocean and told him to stop following me. I then proceeded to have a bit of a nervous breakdown and called a good friend in Philly. That helped a lot. Then I walked all the way home from the ocean, about 50 blocks. It felt good. Did a little retail therapy on the way home.

Sunday was actually a much nicer day, played soccer, went on a bike ride and cleaned the house a little. Worked on my taxes, but they are really confusing bc we just got married and we're trying to figure out married filling jointly or separately and it is very stressful. Of course we've left it to the last minute. H runs his own business and I don't know it's just so confusing!

I also had two nights in a row of insane shooting pain in my lower abdomen, both around 11 pm. I woke up screaming. It subsided after about 15 minutes each time. No idea what that's about. Can't tell if I'm a little off today. I have a dr. appt for tomorrow, but i hate going to the dr and having it be nothing. I also have to take off a whole morning to do it, which is so dumb. anyway, just don't know what to do. I've never felt pain like that. But it also went away quickly.

sorry for the long rant.

Guennie · April 2015

@jilligan14 I am so sorry. What a frustration that you didn't even O!! I'm sure it all feels like a waste of money now, try to hang in there and stay positive! I will keep FX for you that you have a successful cycle next time!! Hugs!!

dolphin012 · April 2015

@Guennie, @dwmmwd, and @jilligan14. off to a rough start

. I hope things improve for you all during the week.

I am off this week and will be getting a lot done at home and working on some papers i need to get published. My PGS biopsies should be enroute to the lab today. I get the results around the middle of next week so i will have that on my mind quite a bit this week. It will be good motivation to get a lot done during my time at home as a distraction!

KirstenAlecia · April 2015

Hey ladies. Sounds like its a little rough around here. Hugs all around.

Ive just come off a busy weekend, but busy because we were out of town not because I was working. Ive decided to start charting and I feel like I finally understand how that works and the purpose behind it. A few still confusing things but over all Im getting it. Just based on what Ive done so far over the last week and the super crazy close attention Im paying to every thing my body does......Im making a prediction that I ovulate closer to day 18-20. Ive told hubby a few things I have learned and he seems semi interested, definitely leaving it up to me though for the most part. I told him I suspected I was ovulating on Saturday (but we were out with friends all night) and Sunday morning he decided morning quickie was a good idea (he never does that) I had to explain to him that if i ovulated the day before that morning it was too late....lol. I guess i should be glad he is eager get me KU.

Honestly if we missed it this month Im ok with it. Some time to wrap my head around getting PG again is needed and I have been working hard at weight loss now that I know all my tests are normal.Its helping me take it more seriously (although this weekend was a total bust because we were tailgating at sporting events all weekend)

I hope we all have a nice peaceful stress free (as possible) week.

If you ovulate late in the day that morning quickie might not be too late. Always go for the quickie.

Was there something in the water Saturday? Because Saturday night/Sunday morning my h was shitty too. I accidentally kicked him in my sleep and he acted like I did it on purpose. He wouldn't let it go. That's actually when I got so emotional because he was being such a jerk.

hooligans4 · April 2015

Glad to be back from Florida. It's going to take me all week to get unpacked and laundry done.
I spent all weekend working in my kitchen so the unpacking was put on hold. DH put in a top and bottom cabinet in my kitchen. I'm sooooo excited to get three feet of counter space. My kitchen had 4 feet of counter space split in half by a sink so an extra three feet makes me giddy.

Wednesday is my annual checkup with my gyn. The sucky thing is I think AF is coming any day now. I hate having my period when I go. Let's just pray that it comes Thursday instead of Wednesday. Or let's pray that it doesn't come at all!!!!

Oh and I made a cake in Saturday morning.
Here is a pic of my new cabinet and the cake.

Hope everyone has a great week.

hooligans4 · April 2015

Forgot the kitchen.

OldNell · April 2015

@hooligans4 that cake is ridiculously adorable! I know what you mean about counter space. Our current kitchen has a ton (for a 500 sq ft apartment) and we are trying to move to a bigger space but the place we would be moving to has a smaller kitchen.

The rest of you ladies - I hope your week improves quickly. Mine is off to a rough start as well so I am hoping we are all in for a few nicer days.

Last week was dedicated to cleaning up a serious tax mess. This week is dedicated to contractors and trying to get an old construction project restarted. And my husband and I are going away to a weekend (Retrouvaille, for anyone who has seen this before) that is designed to help our marriage. I'm nervous about that, but hopeful.

jilligan14 · April 2015

Thanks ladies for your kind words...it always helps to know there are people out there who understand all the disappointments and frustrations that go with this journey. I made it through the day and have a friend coming over with chocolate pie (homemade, gluten-free, dairy-free, no refined sugar). No matter how shitty one cycle can be, there's always the fresh start of a new cycle...

FLY106 · April 2015

Not much going on this week. Regular work week. Other than wondering about this cycle, I've been racking my brain about losing my iPod. Weird thing is I can't recall when was the last time I used it/saw it. This is not like me at all. I feel like I've become really forgetful. It's like these past 3 weeks have been a blur. Don't know if it's stress, or maybe even the medication. I can't seem to get losing my ipod off my mind. On the plus side, it's diverted me from stressing a lot from this whole 2WW game....
