nursejones - 15??!?!?!?!?! Yeah thats all I gotta say about that.... what a joke! So sorry you have to deal with that!

Aisha - I think ttc is totally bad for our mental health!!! Have you ever seen the movie Tangled? (If not you should watch it cause it's hallarious!) When Rapunzel leaves her tower she jumps back and forth between "I'm a dispicable human being" and "BEST DAY EVER!!" LoL I so feel like thats me some days!!! Hahaha!

i know pooker why arent we pregnant yet ?! and you are not a bad person like expecting said you are a very sweet person! hopefully this wll be all of our months because we desrve it !

and expecting its fine she is the one who is going to be tied down with 2 children at 15 with no job and probably live off the government the rest of her life ...

However i doubt the crackwhore thing would work for us lol and our mental health is probably not what it used to be either.

Thank you guys for being so nice and chatting with me i dont feel like im going through this alone as much . yea hubby is nice to talk to but he gets tired of ttc, pregnancy, and baby talk all the time. he figures i know what im doing and it will happen when the lord is willing.

Hi Aisha -

I've just been catching up on some of these confessions! They are great and represent exactly how I feel!

Hi "other" ladies! LOL! I am from the clomid thread and thought I might chime in from time to time. If thats ok. My BEST friend is 33 weeks prego and so as her due date nears, I am both excited and stressed b/c I know I'll be sooooooo jealous! Part of me feels like, "I NEED to get pregnant by the time she has the baby in order to be COMPLETELY happy." I'm a horrible friend.

P.S. I'm a high school health teacher and routinely see pregnant teens in my classes and roaming the halls.....need I say more?

hi teachertoria!

im so sorry you have to deal with all those pregnant teens while ttc im sure you probably feel like throwing a dest at them somedays lol and i know exactly how you feel about your friend...2 of my best friends are pregnant right now and i feel like im not going to be completely happy for them unless im pregnant. i dont think it makes us bad friends it just makes us human and shows how much we want to be mommies.

oh and how is the clomid going? i am taking those soy isoflavones (supposed to be likie clomid) and i think i got a positive opk today on cd 16 so excited this will be the earliest O ever.

to you all!

Hi Nurse!

I took clomid for the first time last month and it made me ovulate on CD 21 with a luteal phase of 13 days which was great b/c I have luteal phase defect. However, I was having some pretty intense pain in my right ovary around O time so I went in for a pelvic ultrasound and low and behold I had 2 - INCH in diameter cysts on my ovary! I cannot take clomid again until the go away or are removed. I go in for another ultrasound in May to see if they've dissolved on their own... Just 1 more setback....!

Have you taken the soy before or is this your first month? Do you temp chart? I usually do but gave up for this month cause I needed a break! We have been ttc since last May and had a m/c in December.

P.S. My name is Victoria

oh man that stinks. its like everytime you get on a ball something pops it . and yes this is my first month on soy and i use to temp but i took a break this month too my sleeping habits have not been regular so i figured it would be a waste. i uploaded my OPK so far everyone thinks its a BFP!!! and im so sorry about your m/c. we have been ttc for 3 years (with a few breaks in between) and i had a m/c nov of 08 and last month . im praying this is the month for a BFP and a CEMENTED bean.

so are you on a ttc break because of your cyst???

oh and im shea

Oooh TeacherToria - I know how that feels! My very first cycle I was supposed to start Chlomid, when I went in they said I had a cyst. Not only could I not start my treatment, but they put me on the pill! THE PILL!!! I was soooooo pissed. TTC does not = BC! >.<

But, it did make the cyst go away within a month. So as stupid as it sounds, you should ask your doctor if getting on BC might help get rid of yours more quickly sp you can get back to TTC!

Thanks Ladies!

Shae - Sorry to hear about your TWO miscarriages!!! I'm taking a break b/c we moved this month, I've been under a lot of stress, the cysts, and I am just tired of this crap. TTC is like a full time job! LOL! It feels weird not temping b/c I've been doing it for the past 5 or 6 months but its definitely a nice break.

Niki - Thanks for the tip!!! When I asked my doctor about medications in general (progesterone to lengthen luteal phase since I can't take clomid) she said she doesn't want me on anything. She thinks it best to give my body a break from drugs and I think it is wise. Especially since I'm convinced that the BCP caused my luteal phase defect. I'm glad it worked for you though and I appreciate the tip!!!
