I'm supposed to go and see my inlaws tomorrow. They live about three hours away, so we are staying the weekend. I have so much stuff to do at home though, that I really want to send my H and stay home. I've got projects due for grad school and lesson plans to write. My inlaws are also incredibly stressful to be around.
The issue is that I'm approaching FW and will be incredibly pissed if we are out this month because my H is out of town. Last month I O'd on CD 12 and today is CD 10. I'm going to see what my opk says tomorrow and then make my decision.
I saw another pg announcement on FB today. This makes it the 3 person I know to lap me twice. Two of them are on thier second kid and the other on their third. So frustrating!
I have a cousin (3 years younger) who is a complete AW. Like annoyingly. Everything anyone does, she makes it about her.
She announced in June she was pregnant. (Sent a give mass text to all the cousins.) I actually cried. She is the only person since we've stayed ttc in March that has announced that has upset me, because she is so in your face about it all.
She just found out the gender. Another mass text to ask the cousins (we do a lot of group texting). Of course then I had to listen to my phone go off a billion times with "omg, boys are the best! So excited!" - while I was at a wedding. Besides that being annoying, it irks me they are having a boy. (I get this is selfish and irrational) She is super girly, wants a girl more than anything. Of course I really want a boy - if I ever get pregnant - and that in itself is bothering me.
One perk is that we have no power right now, so H and I just did the deed, and I'm pretty sure I ovulated today.
@pandora89 I feel you. I feel like it's so hot and cold - happens right away without trying OR it takes forever. I feel like so many people I know lately have been like "it just happened!"
My bff was like this. She stopped her pill the cycle before she got married. Got pg the first month after the wedding. I stopped almost 8 months ago and nothing. Same age, same general lifestyle, both healthy, both on the pill for years. I love her to death, and her new son is ADORABLE, but sometimes it's hard. Especially since very few ppl know we are ttc, so I don't really have someone irl to vent to.
So the cousin I mentioned above? Just talked to my mom, who saw my aunt today. (Cousin's mom) My mom and I talk frequently and are close, but she tends to over share. So mon told me that my aunt told her said cousin got pregnant the first month off the pill, and didn't think it would happen that fast, and drank a ton that weekend because she didn't think she'd could possibly be pregnant. Of course she got pregnant on the first go round - she's one of those people that everything is all about her and nothing bad ever happens.
My mom doesn't know we are ttc. She didn't realize that this piece of info upset me. Got of the phone, came down stairs, saw my H and started bawling. I have no clue why this cousin being pregnant gets to me so bad. I haven't had any issues with anyone else. But honestly, she irritates me because she is so "perfect" and it seems like literally nothing bad ever happens to her.
I know I sound like a broken record. But after crying for the last twenty minutes, I just needed to unload.
My sisters (the unmarried, "oops" but not really "oops" younger sister) baby shower is now only a month and a half away.
I haven't been able to tell my mom that I will not be attending yet. Unless this next month becomes my hail mary cycle, I have no plans on subjecting myself to her shower. My mom will be pissed but really, she knows that we've been trying since March 2013 and how hard I'm taking it.
grover hugs. Do what you need to do and don't worry about it. Not at all the same situation, but I skipped my best friends house warming party last month because I knew a mutual friend who is pregnant with an oops baby would be there.
