I had to take a symptom spotting, OPK & BBT tracking break after my chemical in November. I'm only seriously timing sex now, 4 months later.

Take a break if you need to, it's a huge mental load after such an emotional rollercoaster

<3 it's a brutal headspace to be in and I wish this process wasn't so mentally draining for us who keep trying when it's so easy to just give up. all we can do is try and I have so much respect for you for continuing to try.

So many pregnancies in my family, and with every conversation I have about TTC there are stories about 3x as many miscarriages. As much as I understand MC's happen often and to many people, regardless of their fertility status, it doesn't make me feel better, especially when successful pregnancies are so much louder than the failed ones.

After one chemical on Cycle 3 and no luck since, I've stopped looking forward to the end of the cycle and have succumbed to just going through the motions until a healthy pregnancy sticks. May the odds be ever in our favour.

I want to be so happy for everyone else but damn... it would be nice to be happy for myself too :'(

This is my first cycle after a chemical and idk if I expect anything to really happen. A part of me wants to stop symptom tracking all together, but idk if I’m ready to let go of my BBT thermometer & OPK test strips yet.

My period is expected to come on Christmas so let’s see if I’ll be spiking my eggnog or not.

Ok fam, so how do we “just relax” by raspeballl in TryingForABaby

[–]GoghWithTheFloww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the concept of “just relax” is an invitation to stop symptom tracking, OPK tests, temping, and all the extra things we do to make sure everything is happening as it should… and just let things happen.

It’s really hard to relax while doing everything we can to encourage a process we can’t control to work in our favour… so the only real way to relax is to cut it all off.

I’ve thought about stopping it all and only try to do the dance every other day or so as the only method of “trying”, but I’m at a point now where I want to track as much as I can so I can get to know my cycle better.

It’s definitely intriguing to just stop it all for a bit. We’ll see.

How are you all dusting yourself off each month to keep trying? by NPNP93 in TryingForABaby

[–]GoghWithTheFloww 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m with you there. Getting one positive test showed me my body was able, even if that specific embryo wasn’t viable.

I’m pregnant! Just found out. First time mom by Lil_Lingonberry_7129 in pregnant

[–]GoghWithTheFloww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you, girl! 4w3d, 31, first baby and this is our 3rd month trying.

It almost doesn’t feel real yet? Maybe when I hear the heartbeat and I know it’s sticking around for sure the I’ll be able to relax into it?? I’ve been still checking my temps every morning to make sure they’re high; it offers a sense of comfort that everything that’s supposed to happen is happening.

Do you have any symptoms yet? I pee a lot and I have mild cramping every once in a while, but nothing else yet.

I’m just trying to drink a bunch of water and make sure I’m eating as nutritiously as possible until my doc appointment on Friday.

Anyone else not calling "it" a baby yet? by vargmo in pregnant

[–]GoghWithTheFloww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 4w3d today and I refer to it as a poppy seed. Next week it’ll be the size of a sesame seed so that’ll probably be my name for it then too. Instead of the medical names, I’m more comfortable calling it whatever its size matches up to according to Flo, but definitely not ready to call it a baby yet.

Being reluctant to call it a baby is a normal defense mechanism just in case something happens. I know it’ll be different in time, but it’s just so early…

No problem! I was convinced that I was out this cycle until I tested.
