FRIDAY TTC POST

Holy Crap!!! I forgot to post today. I have a huge black family cloud thing hanging over me....skeletons in the closet that are about to come out in my inlaws family. Don't really feel like posting the dirty laundry, but it has drudged up a lot of bad memories from my past and I have been fighting emotional eating and making decisions that are going to most likely sever family ties. It sucks. Please keep it in your thoughts and prayers because the stress levels are whacking out my blood sugars which is not good for baby.

Huge congrats to Cathie and Darcy with wishes for a happy and healthy nine months! I love graduating you girls to the baking mamas post!

And please forgive me if I have forgotten a change on the list, the past couple weeks have been hectic. Just let me know adds or changes okay.

Thanks for the birthday wishes too...we had a good getaway.

And to the girls that posted last week::

Angie ~ I have everything crossed for you. Did you get the IUI?? Good luck in the 2ww, keep your head up!

Amy ~ did your cycle balance out? Have you o'd??

Lisa ~ Remind me if you made an appointment for this stuff? I know you were contemplating. 2 annovulatory cycles would have me on the phone! Keep your head up okay...help is bound to come soon. I think metformin might help greatly.

Holly ~ Glad you are okay. I really hope this is your cycle!!

Tami ~ I was glad to see you posting... I have missed you and worried about you!

Kathy ~ Well, whats the verdict?? I haven't been able to read all the posts the last couple of days.

How is everyone else doing this week??

Hi Shari... I'm so sorry to hear about the ickiness that is going on in your life right now with the "black cloud." I hope things work out better than you imagine they are going to.

I'm here to ask if I can be re-added to the TTC list. Things in my life have been pretty icky as well, therefore we took a time out from TTC, but now I'm back!!  My cycle has been crazy, so it's been really hard to chart, but I bought some fertlity tests so I hope that helps.

Anyway, we've been TTC seriously again just in the past month.

Good luck to the rest of you!!!

Hope things get better for you. I had a neg test at the hospital and one today, Then the damn ***** showed her ugly face. I really need to see the doctor since I am peeing all the time and nautious. Something is wrong since I aint preggers. Not to mention my boobs and eating.

 Baby Dust To All!!!

Shari I'm always a phone call away! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm sorry about the family issues...and hope they resolve themselves.  Try to keep yourself from stressing too much - easier said that done, I know - just for yourself and the baby if no one else.

I'm still in my two week wait - I have another week of that, then we'll see what happens.  I'm doing good w/the progesterone 3x a day, no major side effects other than I'm tired as all get out...which I assume/believe is from the progesterone. 

Good luck to all the other ladies out there...and congrats to the graduates!

Shari, thanks for the well wishes. I'm so thankful this board is here for "us". Family drama is inevitable and it's up to you if you give it the energy to affect you. You're always in control - people too often forget that. Hope the sun shines for your family soon.

Good luck to everyone TTC and baby dust to all!

Cathie
