I hate that I have no idea when I am going to O, even though I chart. So it's looking like sex every other day until FF confirms O, whenever that may be.
My best friend's husband said something kind of shitty to me in relation to TTC, but I know what he meant and they are in the same boat as us (2.5 years, no kids). Because of that, I cannot get that upset but it did hurt. I feel like because we are young, people assume that somehow, magically, when we are older we will get pregnant ASAP. Where as, I think my bff and her husband feel like since they are 10 years older than us, they should have had at least 1 kid by now. I get it, I so get it - we are on opposite sides of the coin and struggling with the same TTC problem. I think the fact that all 4 of us were in the company of a super young girl, who kept showing us baby photos of her 4 month old, kind of got to him. I love them regardless and if I could somehow make it so they have a baby, I would. But I can't because I cannot even make us have a baby.
I have a cold - stuffy, headache, sore throat. I picked up cough drops on the way to work. I feel like poo. And I'm sweating. I have my fan on at work and it's like 40 degrees outside.
I have my injection class today with the RE. I'm nervous b/c I hate needles. This will make the IUI more real and sink in that I no longer get Femara. But at least it's one step closer. AF should be here anyday and then just 1 more cycle before we do it.
My pg SIL is complaining nonstop. And keeps saying "you'll understand one day". STFU! She has another month left. Yes I get it, your huge and it hurts but I don't feel sorry for you.
He can pry help me. He can't take off work so won't be with me at the class. I kind of hope the needles go in my ass rather then stomach. Then I don't have to see it.
I'm in the same boat with no idea when I will O. on CD 13 I had 1 11cm follie, it's CD 28 now, the OPKs were getting darker, never + and now lighter. temps still low.
I think having a puppy is totally stressing me and DH out. Makes me question what a kid will do and it's not like he's going to be difficult for that much longer, there will be fewer in house accidents, and trying to find the optimal feeding schedule but I swear I just want sleep. tonight i have to pre-plan/make tomorrows dinner and find time to make it to CVS. love the puppy but I still love my kitty more and I feel bad that I can't give her the attention she is used to.
1) I am having coffee today with my friend who told me back in August that I am not pregnant yet because I was so "ambivalent" about whether we wanted to have a 2nd child or not. I couldn't even speak to her for about 2 & 1/2 months, but now that DH and I have been through the battery of tests and know what's up and that we're not going to an RE, I feel like I can perhaps move past how terrible she made me feel. Scientifically, I know now that my 18 months of unsuccessfully ttc have nothing to do with my "ambivalence." But I am still not sure what is going to come out of my mouth when I see her.
2) I really wish I had taken Greek & Latin in HS. I feel like it is a real gap in my education. Plus, I would love to read "The Odyssey" in the original, as much as I love the translation I am reading now.

DH did my injections in my shoulder. I was able to look away and pinch his side so that he could feel what he was doing to me, lol. There was one day he wasn't home and I had to do it myself and it wasn't bad at all. It probably hurt less than him doing it.
I also have no idea when I'll O. All the signs are there but my pee sticks still say negative. I'm tired of sex and I know my husband is tired of baby making sex. He turned me down last night but I insisted this morning.
My random: my alarm went off for 45 min this morning and I didn't hear it. I had my good ear in my pillow and I was fast asleep. Good thing I'm on call today, so didn't have to rush out the door.
And one glass of Bota Box Cabernet gave me a headache. I'm not buying this stuff again.

Are yall crate-training? I swear its the best thing. We had our dog housetrained within 3 weeks. We got him when he was 12 weeks old.

yeah we are trying, it is hard with the fact that we work 40 minutes from home so the day time is hard on him. We are trying to get back into regular telework days, DH usually would do W&F and I am going to try to do thursdays and we get every other monday off. Next week will be good since I have monday off, we have Thanksgiving off and I think DH has Friday off. I will just telework Friday. Now next week if DH can telework on Wed next week, that will be a good week for puppy.
we have tried making his crate smaller, so that helped last night and he waited until 330 when we got up to take him out. normally we wake up at 415, but had to wake up earlier to get him taken care of, played with, etc.
He gets major praise and treats when he goes outside.
now if only i can find a way to keep him from eating his poop....the pineapple isn't working
Aww that sucks. And a schedule like that is difficult. When we got our puppy I was working 12 hour shifts and only could get away once to let him out (had to clock out and take my lunch break). DH also couldn't get away except at lunch and he worked 20 min away. It was difficult and we had to bathe the puppy probably every other night. The middle of the night stuff stopped the first week.
Sorry about the poop thing. I'm no help there, we've never had an issue with that.
Mine is a vent: we usually do Thanksgiving with a group of friends here. We said we'd host this year, have talked about with most of them, they were like yea let us know. Out of 15 people, no one has rsvp'd yet. The couple we thought for sure was coming just said last night they won't be. H was super bummed last night, as was I.
I hate our friend situation here they are all so flaky!

Have you asked the Pets board?

No, but I have been doing a lot of research so we may try meat tenderizer in his dog food and maybe pumpkin as well, it is supposed to make stool taste bad. And then it's just waiting for DH to give the go ahead tonight on the amazon order i have with 700 of the waste pick up bags with a clip on holder for the leash...DH is bad at remembering to pick up poop so he finds it all over the yard. If he didn't discover her liked the taste we wouldn't have this problem. this has been an ongoing fight for the last 2 years with his older dog. he thinks running it over with the lawn mower is a great idea...um i like walking bare foot outside!
also may buy 2 more baby gates so we can put him in a part of the kitchen with his crate so he can just go into it to sleep. Then tape a bunch of those potty pads on the floor to catch what we must...but I have no idea right now. That might give him too much space. We have 1 baby gate at our bedroom door to keep the cat out and let heat in (we have a pellet stove) and then 2 more stacked on top of each other to keep the one dog penned in the laundry room. She can't be left out and DH doesn't want to crate her since she is scared of her crate and escaped from 2 wire ones. She was a rescue and had major separation anxiety issues and being confined causes her issues.
f*ck if i can't figure out a puppy, how am I going to figure out a baby?
H gave me my trigger shot last night. I was so nervous, but it didn't hurt at all. I do have a nice big bruise now though. If we have to do this again next month, I'm going to try to do it myself.
It was so nice here yesterday, almost 70 degrees, and today it is cold, whomp whomp. H took the thermostat off the wall to paint last night and forgot to put it back on, and it was pretty cold in here this morning.
I have no randoms, really. OH! I was leaving for work this a.m. and went to grab a bag to stick my lunch in and apparently there is a MASSIVE leak under our kitchen sink. So I had to clean that shit up before I left. And it smelled. REALLY bad.

I got into an argument with the "registry specialist" at buy buy baby last night while helping my BFF do her baby registry.
He was wrong. I was right. And I don't care if you have a 16 mo old daughter. Your info on carseats was WRONG and telling me when I have kids I'll understand didn't go as you had planned huh? AND you made my BFF cry not ten minutes after that? Yep, you are getting a letter to the manager.
My mom is going to surprise me by coming down to help me with my charity event on Saturday. I am glad she always gives me a heads up on my surprises since the room she stays in is a DISASTER and I have off today and can clean it up.
aliciar6 when we potty trained my dog at night he stayed in the kitchen with a baby gate. Its tile. He had a few accidents but eventually understood that if he held it he would be able to roam the house. We crate trained during the day. Its hard but they eventually can last. Just make sure to take water away and really praise when they go outside. Pee or poop. My dog kept having accidents and one day it literally clicked. We never did pads either. Hes only 6 lbs and has gone 12 hours before so it can happen. We usually try to not go longer then 8-10.
baby makin sex is starting to feel more like a chore (please don't flame me). why can't things be easier?
On a non ttc: I've had heartburn and weird stomach/cramps for the past 2 days and nothing is helping (and it's not that time of month).
NO ONE here will flame you for that. lol
Agree. Baby making sex sucks. Taking a break from ttc definitely brought the romance back. It makes me glad we do IUIs now and no more "homework" as my dr called TI.

Baby making sex is all fun and games until you don't O when you are supposed to and it just keeps going and going and going... And then you are all like "ugh don't snuggle me, I have to update my FF app on my phone and wait 15 minutes to pee with my legs in the air *disclaimer - this isn't necessary, but I was trying every "trick in the boo*. Wait, did you take your vitamins tonight? Did I?"

I got a positive OPK yesterday. We had sex last night, but not on Sunday. I got a negative OPK today. Is my window THAT short? UGH.
ETA - and flameful! If my window really IS that short, then I feel like I see no reason to have more sex today. Or any day. Seriously ONE FUCKING DAY A MONTH? Science sucks.

Breathe, girl! The opk does not define your window. If you got a positive for 16 days, your ideal window would still be day 15-17. Remember, the positive just means "oh, PS, you're going to ovulate in 12-48h." It doesn't define any window. If you have a LONG surge (say you had a positive for 2 days), you'd count the last positive as the start time for the countdown to O.
So, since you got a positive on Mon, that means you will O today or tomorrow. So yeah, you need to have sex. Suck it up homie!

That blows! I know how excited you were.
Yea, H took it pretty hard last night. Ive never experienced such flaky people who were supposed to be friends. I'm pretty sure its just going to be us. I know theres nothing wrong with us, but seriously it does make you wonder whats up.

I'd probably throw myself a pity party too. I'd totally come over!
