Confession Thursday
Re: Confession Thursday
I confess to having puppy fever. After all this went down with my health I caught some baby fever, because I was scared I was going to have issues with IF. Since I can't get pregnant until after I'm in remission I can't stop thinking about puppies! I really want a Maltese or a Yorkie. I found some Yorkie crosses and OMG I can't even stand how cute they are. It is really hard to work instead of puppy shop right now.

I'm still waiting for my first non-BC peroid. I want to give it a few months before I start charting etc. I signed up for Fertility Friend, but all the emails about temping and charting overwhelmed me. H wants me to test the day I should get TOM but I doubt I'll be regulated that fast. I talked him into giving it 4 days. I would give longer, but we leave the 5th day for NC for a long weekend. He knocked his first wife up first try both times, he's going for a hat trick...
I'm so disappointed in my friend. I feel like she is just giving up on something that is so important. I also feel like she rushed getting married because she was the last of us not to get married and was more enammered (sp?) with the idea of marriage than making sure they were in love and making the lifelong commitment. I don't know what to do because I want to be there for her during this hard time, but I think she is in the wrong. I'm so torn inside....
Haha h just asked last night if he should go to Costco to but a bunch of pregnancy tests! Lol. Since I was ovulating last week he asked if we can find out if I'm pregnant yet. I said some tests pick up a hormone a little less than a week before your period but we would probably just wait to take a test until I miss a period. I realize it could take awhile, but in anxious too. I find it adorable how excited my h is!
@lwoehik - I love how excited MH is too. It's like last year I was all WEDDING!!! and don't get me wrong he was happy to be married but pretty meh about the wedding (if that makes sense). Now he's all BABY!!! and I'm the chill one. The other night he asked me about baby names haha.
@frank139 - eh I don't see me testing until the day I'm suppose to start my peroid or a week late. I know I can go very Type-A control freak about things, but I don't want this to be one of them. Even so I think the wondo strips can test pretty early as well, but the line might be a little faint.
Congrats @willyh19. You have the best confession today!!!
@everyone else that is TTC - All of your posts are great info for me since we will be TTC at the end of the year!! Yay!!
@lwoehlk - While your friend did get married pretty fast, you may not know what truly goes on behind closed doors to make her not want to work on her marriage. When I left my XH and didn't want to try to fix things, people didn't really understand either which made things really hard. They didn't see that we couldn't communicate, that we were really just roomates, that he was an alocoholic and that I was turning into one too. On the other hand, you could be right that she just didn't really know what she was getting into with this guy.
I confess that I haven't done dishes in a few days and they are stacking up. I just really hate doing them even when DH helps. I wish that I could just play the Fantasia music and they will all just do themselves.
Confession part 2 - I feel like not many people will get the reference to Fantasia and that makes me feel super old...
Cathy, I understand and she has told me a few things that could make it not work (like just fundamental differences in marriage roles ans finances), but I also feel like their circumstances are beyond stressful and she is giving up without a full chance. He is in a country he doesn't know, without work and living with his in laws. I don't know both sides, but I sympathize that those circumstances could make the most stable couple have problems. I think that they should rent an apt and try living as a couple and get counseling to try to learn to communicate. By him leaving now, he can't return to the states until he received residency which could be at least 6 months. But you are right, I don't know everything. I don't want to judge and feel disappointed but I do and that is why I don't know what to do.
@lwoehlk - yea, I think a lot of them are having issues and why I haven't posted either. TB has a trouble TTC and a reg TTC boards, but there's a mix still on the reg TTC one. But when sometime come on and says something stupid, between the snarky comments/gifs is usually good info about fertility Friend app/website, charting etc. I haven't been in a while since work picked up. I also lurk on working moms they usually have good info on ML, day cares etc.
ETA: Trying to get pregnant on TB has a great blog with a lot of the information: http://tbttgp.wordpress.com/
All of you TTC ladies are making me kinda sad I'm done having babies!! I'm 24 and I know 2 is enough for me but I'm really going to miss that special part of my life.
