Going crazy already

Ok this is beginning to be torture for me.
You would think that with my lucky cycle last time with Oing on cd15 that I would be on cloud 9 with enthusiasm an excitment thinking that my body is finally starting to do something right for a change.
But it has only been stressing me out because I never know when i am going to O. Could be in a week again, or it could be crushing again and not O for months on end. I just am getting so tired of having no clue when I am oing and afraid of missing my chance. I feel I have to be prepared at anytime that i could O, and it is starting to stress me out. Mainly I think because of all the trouble I have of getting pg, and I am kind of on a timeline as to how long we are going to try to conceive.
I know there is a few girls here that are going threw exactly the same things I am. I just needed my day to vent with the crazyness that this all brings.

Hey there Jodi,

I understand completely what your saying!! I wish I could say it gets easier. Though when things do go right you will find yourself feeling as though you've got so much hope and faith that things will continue to go perfectly. I hope that for you.

Wishing you lots of luck,
Taryn

Jodi, I haven't been around in a looooonnnnng time, so I'm not sure what your timeline is. I am, however, familiar with waiting on cycles to regulate. I just had my third ppaf, and my longest lp was 9 days. I'm still nursing, so I suspect that has something to do with it. You know I'm a soy believer, and if you're at the very beginning of your cycle, there's still time for you to try it this go-round.

You had good BD timing last cycle and with the early O, I can see why you had high hopes for that cycle, I did too.

All the cycles of TTC that I have done, I have always found the follicular phase (before O) to be the most stressful

Because ya just never know when it's going to happen and then the pressure is on! Coordinating O with BD can be so stressful because of the kids and work schedules and then there's tired husbands.......

I still remember how you got Alaynah. You saw the EWCM and called Dh to come home from work for immediate BD'ing

Maybe you'll have to warn him that he's "on call" again.

Thanks girls for the encouragement.
Chery it is so good to hear from you again!!!! How are things going busy mama? I think that soy might be something that i might try here next cycle if i don't get pg. How much and how do you take it again? Is there a pill or something? I can't remember.
Taryn I see you are close to the end of your 2WW. Hopin g good things will be coming soon for you in a day here or so.
Holly-You make me laugh girl. It is true that I called dh from work to get home asap. I think you are right. I might have to try another nooner this month.

Things are very busy here. I re-joined the work force in August, and I really enjoy it. Being home with the kids all day every day left me a little crazy. I work in the office 3 days and at home 2 days, so it's a perfect balance for me.

As for the soy, I ate the actual food. Some say that the food doesn't have enough of the phytoestrogens, but it worked for me on the first try, same for a good friend who did it after hearing my success! Anyway, I had 3 servings of edamame on cd 4-8. You can find it in the freezer aisle of a regular grocery store, and at Costco too! You can also buy it fresh, but it's a lot more expensive. The Costco brand is already cooked, and you can eat them cold or hot (I like hot) - just pop the beans out of the pod. I also supplemented a bit with those Morningstar buffalo bites because they are so yummy, and I wanted to get some bleu cheese while I could. HTH!

Jodi, yes, I think a nooner is definetely in order! It was your lucky nooner last time, so you should go for it again! I hope you O soon! Catch that eggie! :-)

Cheryl, it is so good to see you! I'm glad you're doing so well! So where can we find some pics of Clarence and Dagny? Dagny's 1 already! Unbelievable!!! Do you still live in the same house? If so, I'm glad they're growing up in such a beautiful house! I just can't believe that was 2 1/2 years ago that I was there! Doesn't seem like so long!

I joined the biggest loser club online and have been with them for 6 weeks now. I was/am in a bootcamp message board that gives lots of support...like this one, but for different things. The bootcamps each last for 6 weeks, so yesterday was the end of the first one, and I weighed in today, and did measurements and was so disappointed that it ruined my whole day. It's really not official until tomorrow because we have a certain amount of time to get our stats in, so I will do it again tomorrow and see what happens. See I was down to 12.5 pounds. It literally dropped off me in 2 days! I hadn't lost any weight after 4 weeks, so I started myself on a water pill that I had around, so I figured that was what I had truly lost. Well now I weighed myself and was back up to only 2 pounds lost over the whole 6 weeks! WTF??? And we measure ourselves at the beginning and end of the bootcamp, so I did that, and the numbers went up! Granted, I had measured myself using my puppy's leash, then a ruler, and now I have the proper measuring tape, so it was probably just inacurate before, but still, seeing those numbers just took my heart and stomped on it! So I've had a really bad day, but the ladies in the bootcamp wouldn't let me quit like I wanted to, and were very supportive so I am feeling better and more motivated. So anyway, that's what's been happening. Sorry it's so long, but you know me. LOL!
