Hi ladies,

I am mostly a lurker around here, so I should start of with a little of my history....

I have two awesome kids that were both difficult, but successful pregnancies. Last spring I started to get that "baby itch" again, while DH did NOT. By the end of the summer I was 100% convinced we were supposed to have a 3rd child in our family, while DH was just as adamant that we were done. At the end of October I was SHOCKED to find out that I was pregnant. As you can imagine, I was thrilled and DH was upset. I ended up miscarrying at 5w4d in early November.

AF came back in early December and DH told me that he had had a change of heart and was willing to TTC as long as I "didn't get obsessive about it". YAY!!!! He really has come around!!!

Well, I really thought we did it on the first real "try". I didn't have any of my usual PMS symptoms, AF was 2 days late, I slept for 12 hours straight on a couple nights, and my BB hurt like nobody's business. I was wrong-- AF started today with a vengence. I am sooooo disappointed! On top of that, my kids and I all have rotten head colds and I am miserable with cramps. I don't think this morning could get much worse.

I guess I shouldn't be too upset since this is technically our first month of TTC, but I have been profoundly wanting this for much, much longer. I guess it is time to move on to next month, eh?

Sorry for my whine this morning! I'll try to be more positive in the future

I am sorry the witch showed.

Next time let us know she is on her way and we will drop a house on her

You are right on to the next cycle.... I hope this cycle is it for you!

Oh man, I am sorry the witch showed up and that you aren't feeling well. I remember that it was such a let down when my period arrived. Whine away, feel free I hope you get a quick BFP this next cycle. HUGS

Hi and welcome! Sorry AF showed, but I hope she stays away next month!

Hi and Welcome! Glad you decided to introduce yourself! I am sorry AF arrived and I hope your time here is short and you get your BFP this month! I hope your whole house feels better soon.

Thanks for all the good wishes!

If I had been pregnant this month, I would have had to miss a long-planned family reunion. Besides, the baby would be due the same week that my DD starts kindergarten and my DS starts preschool. Who needs THAT many big changes in one week, right?

I am trying to stay positive, but it is really hard when I am surrounded by newborns and pregnant women. I know that God has a plan for me and my little family, but it is really hard to be patient and wait for His time.
