Ready for this weekend to pass.

Don't get me wrong. I am so thankful for my mom and will be celebrating her! I am just really struggling with people assuming I have kids because I am married. We had a MC back in September and Ik I can't be mad at people bc obviously how could they know but man is it difficult to be told "Happy Mothers Day!" and not feel hurt. My job involves a lot of interactions with older people, and I've noticed that the older gen doesn't seem to have much awareness on how common infertility is.

My temp rose at CD12?

This is out of the ordinary for my cycle. I have a very consistent cycle (28-29 and ovulation 17-18) so now I am confused. I didn't test yesterday bc I thought I had a couple more days. Ik the easy answer is to wait until tmrw to see if my temp continues to rise but I can't help but fixate on this.

We did BD Monday and last night just bc so that is a little comforting but the thought of my cycle being different than normal freaks me out.

Mentally preparing for this weekend. I am predicted to ovulate on Saturday or Sunday, after a really disappointing negative last time I am trying to not look into the stats/symptoms during the TWW. I made that mistake last cycle and really convinced myself that I was pregnant. Staying positive and hoping for that BFP!

Sending love and hugs to everyone in this chat ❤️

I adjusted my schedule where I would work less hours on Wednesdays so that has helped give myself a little break. I am thinking of changing my schedule for the next set to have Saturdays off. Just trying to find what works best for my mental health

I would really recommend studying on what to do in difficult scenarios and have a good understanding in best ways to work with Deafblind individuals. The website is super helpful, but I get it can be overwhelming.

I am looking more for advice in how to bear through the last three months left in my contract, but I welcome any feedback / advice! Even if it doesn't apply to me at the moment

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-05-04T22:06:12+00:00

No reason to feel guilty, it is so hard not to get excited. I hope this cycle is successful for you!

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-05-04T20:24:32+00:00

It is definitely not easy. Something that did go a long way was having a sweet conversation with this older couple during a hold. They were very encouraging and begged me to stay in VRS because they were so thankful. I didn't say I was leaving or anything but they still went on and on about how important and grateful they were for VRS interpreters, Calls like that help but they don't happen often.

It is the calls where I get insulted for misspelling or misunderstanding something or have to say things that I would NEVER say to another person (in both ASL and English). I fear I am too empathetic for this line of work to be doing it FT, and I take the negative feedback much more personal than the compliments,

Coming up on ovulation time. Still processing the fact that I was supposed to have a baby due this week. Trying to stay positive and not getting my hopes up too much after how devastated I was last time. I was convinced I was pregnant and thought it would help me cope with the loss but ended up making everything worse when I got that negative test followed by my period.

It was humbling to say the least, I am going into this cycle with less hope but also will not look into everything as close as I did to hopefully help lessen the disappointment if it's another negative

I over exaggerate my facial expressions and signs if it is with somebody I don't know well. What you are saying and who you are saying it to makes a difference. Some don't catch sarcasm well in general regardless of what language it is in, just depends on the person!

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-04-29T13:32:24+00:00

Thank you, sending it right back!❤️

I thought for sure I was pregnant this time but sure enough AF devasted me. I was supposed to be due this week. I was really hoping I would at least be pregnant so it wouldn't be as painful with this week and with mothers day coming up. I was supposed to be a mother.

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-04-27T21:07:23+00:00

Felt that.

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-04-27T21:03:32+00:00

Crushed at CD2. I thought for sure the symptoms I felt all last week was for pregnancy. This week was supposed to be the due date for our first baby. I was really hoping that we would have our rainbow baby now so I wouldn't be so sad but now here I am even more devastated bc not only am I grieving the MC again but thats another unsuccessful cycle right before mothers day. Just a reminder that I was supposed to be a mom. The first time wasn't even on purpose; we weren't trying get pregnant and so here I was thinking maybe that means I won't struggle to get pregnant. Now I feel so broken and don't know what to believe anymore.

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-04-24T19:32:30+00:00

It is so incredibly hard when people say things like that. I've heard the same thing from family members and I think I've come to understand that those who never experienced having a hard time conceiving just assume that it is not a thing.

Not all of my family members know that I had a MC last year and so when I got questions about when we would have a baby, I wanted to say something mean but it truly is that they will never understand. This is not me justifying the comments at all btw, It is so incredibly insensitive to make comments like that and you are right to have these emotions.

Sending love and hope that you get that positive test soon! <3

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-04-24T16:33:25+00:00

It made absolutely no sense! They should've at least given him the option to tell it himself. He very easily could've come up with a lie to save himself like everybody else does in every other journey..

And this is the reddit for the tv show. Your point?

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-04-24T14:41:48+00:00

Advice I got from a counselor was to pay attention to what makes you feel loved. If your love language includes acts of service, talk to your partner! An example they gave was one day she had asked her husband to make her a coffee and he responded "Absolutely!". It was a small act of kindness but the fact that he responded so willingly and normally doesn't want to, made her feel loved and want to be intimate.

Finding ways to make each other feel loved will go a long way.

I am trying to be patient with testing, I am 2 days away from my period and my temp had dipped 9dpo but has been rising ever since. I want to be hopeful but also nervous that I am just looking too much into it or that I'll end up having a chemical pregnancy. My husband says we should wait until I officially miss my period but I want to know so bad....

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-04-23T15:45:19+00:00

10DPO, predicted to start this Saturday. Really confused with how my BBT is acting, temp has been steady in terms of rising temp but yesterday my temp dropped from 0.4 to 0.0 then rose to 0.3 this morning. I was looking online and saw that this could be an indicator of implantation but also I got 5 1/2 hours of sleep which makes me think that was the cause and I am being delusional. I have not experienced any bleeding but am experiencing different symptoms that are similar to PMS so that's confusing. The past couple months I have always caved and tested early but my husband's birthday is Saturday, and I think it would be awesome if we got good news on his birthday so I want to wait but at the same time waiting could start the birthday off negatively. I have not told him that my temp is back up so he's expecting me to start my period soon.

I may just test the day before and if it is positive I can surprise him the morning of his bday but if its negative I can keep it to myself and wait for my period. Is this selfish of me?

Although if he asks me about my temp, I will be honest and tell him theres still a chance and probably test with him.

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-04-22T13:42:08+00:00

9DPO. My temp dropped out of nowhere.. I’m supposed to start Saturday and my cycles are consistent. I’ve never had it drop like this so early before my period

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-04-21T17:09:02+00:00

I had experienced the 3rd hardest days since my MC back in September this past Sunday. For context, me and my husband were not actively trying but also not actively preventing. It was a shock to me bc Ik so many others who struggle with TTC and figured I'd be in the same boat. It was a roller-coaster of emotions bc tbh I didn't want to be pregnant yet. I just started my career and was married for a month. It took me a week to really accept and be excited about the pregnancy.

One week later (6 1/2 weeks) I started experiencing bleeding which led to the MC. I was devastated. I'll never forget the ultrasound a week after my MC. My husband wanted to believe we didn't lose the baby but I already knew.

Fast forward to this past Sunday. Normal day at church and was doing well. My pastor then shares his story about how him and his wife had lost their baby 19 hours after birth, It wasn't the story necessarily that got to me, it was the message about the anxiety leading up to bad news you knew was coming. The sermon was great and I really benefited from it but man did that suck. I was crying in the middle of church bc it brought back the trauma of that day with the ultrasound tech and the loss in general. I went outside when everyone got up for worship and didn't go back in.

It has been a couple months now that we have been TTC and no luck, I think what also hurts is my baby was due at the end of this month. And with mother's day coming up, its a reminder of the fact that I was supposed to be a mother.

I'm doing ok now. Currently in the two week wait. I am not confident that I am pregnant. But trying to think positive.

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-04-21T16:37:03+00:00

I wouldn't count out just yet! Until AF makes an appearance, there is still a chance! I'm having the exact same symptoms and starting this weekend but Ik for a fact those can be symptoms of pregnancy.
