Sorry Amy. Our bodies are masters of illusions I swear! Fingers crossed you get it next time!
Rak- fingers crossed you get your bfp soon!
Afm im 2dpo feeling exhausted with tender girls.

So so sorry Amy. AF is a bitch! Best of luck to you in this new cycle!
Hberry- congrats on making it to your agonizing TWW. I hope you get those 2 pink lines! What are your plans for distracting yourself while you wait and obsess and try to resist the urge to test?!

Kahlan- I plan to keep cleaning my house and going through boxes from when we moved in from 2018. I have a massive load of laundry to put away after washing for 3 days straight. I still have a massive pile and full chute of laundry to wash. I also have a bunch of old baby clothes Im washing and giving to a coworker who had her baby boy right before wisconsin got put on lockdown in March.

Ugh! Laundry! I generally do 2 loads a day to keep up. I hate laundry! And let’s face it- I usually skip laundry on weekends- so Monday I have 5-6 loads to do. My husband has no clue just how much work it is to keep up with laundry and dishes alone! Let alone the rest of cleaning, cooking, and keeping kids happy and healthy! Mom life is hard- but the best life to live!

Kahlan- I agree! It's harder for me when my laundry is in the basement and I have to constantly go up and down the stairs. I always have to sit and take a break because I get so winded from going up and down the stairs all the time! Im skipping washing today just to be able to put away clothes. Ive washed a ton of clothes and hung them outside. Probably would be more done if i had a lot more clothes pins.

I’m in need of a little moral support from you ladies. I’m on CD17 and my OPK’s have been up and down for the last week. I’m so frustrated. I’ve had 4 days of wet cm, then I’m on day 3 of ewcm. Cervix is HSO and yet my OPK’s are lighter again.
To add to this frustration- my father in law had a stroke yesterday, and had to be air lifted to a bigger city/better hospital. Because of covid- we can’t even visit him.
Then this morning we just found a big open would in my dogs side, about the size of a quarter. Can’t find anything that might have poked him, so hoping it wasn’t someone with a pellet gun out terrorizing animals. I’ve seen a few posts in our valley about dogs getting killed of wounds after someone shot them.
With the stress piling on- I’m not sure how I’m going to have good timing for BDing if O day doesn’t happen soon. My hubby tends to shut down with stress and I’m feeling the pressure! I feel like breaking down.
I posted a photo of my OPK’s. I just don’t understand why they are getting darker then lighter. Why can’t they just be steady like most people’s?!

Update- doggo is good. A couple staples and antibiotics and pain relieves- and of course- the dreaded cone. Vet says it was more likely done while wrestling with the other dogs while playing. Thank goodness my hubby works at the vet clinic- our fur babies tend to be accident prone! Waiting for my next bathroom break to do another opk because I’m feeling so impatient! Come on ovaries- let that egg loose!

Kahlan- I'm so sorry about everything that has happened so far. Hope thins turn around for you and get better.
AFM I ordered pregnancy tests ( pack of 2 from walmart). They will arrive Thursday. I also broke down because of my mother in law today. She wants me to get my oldest son drugged for depression and I refuse and then she put the blame on me. I don't know how much more of her insane outburst like this I can take. I refuse because my son doesn't deserve it and I know what happens when on those antidepressants. I'm about ready to cry again

Hey ladies...oh Kahlan I’m glad the pooch is on the mend...how lucky your hubby works in the vets!!! With regards to everything else just try not to put too much pressure on yourself xx
HBerry...he is YOUR son at the end of the day...you know what’s best for him, yes advise from friends and family is great but ultimately is something to be discussed with you/hubby/son ...I hope you get it all worked out soon xx
I am now on CD2...started taking vitamins this month on top of my folic acid also will be making sure OH takes his as I know he hasn’t ( not like they are cheap either!) This month I am just going to make sure we BD more the week after O too because of these long cycles. Got a feeling I will be going back to work 1st June so I am just going to be making the most of this family time whilst I have it.

Amy- yes and I told my dh that i want him on something natural and not all chemical and make you wig out. ( I used to be on antidepressants and know what they do). My mother in law laid the blame on me as to why my oldest son is the way he is. He battles depression (his real dad, my exhusband, abused him and my 8 yr old). He also has pku and that's a fight too.
Afm im on cd15 3 dpo. Girls are getting super sensitive, and feeling nauseated again. I swear in the tub last night, I saw the nips getting darker. Hope Im not imagining it.
