When AF arrives

#1 January 21st, 2009, 05:28 PM

Do you cry, get mad, or what? I currently just want to put my fist through a wall!!! I feel dumb for still getting so hyped every month, too.

Well, I get DAYS of spotting before AF ever arrives so I know when she is coming. I kinda have the time to get prepared for her actual arrival that way. I do cry sometimes.

I am currently waiting for AF to arrive - I think I am on day 4 or 5 of spotting now.

Um, can I say all of the above? Anger, Sadness, Frustration?

Actually it depends on the cycle... If we had good BD timing and I have had a stress free 2ww, I get really sad and angry when AF shows. If we had some not-so-great BD timing, I am still sad, but it's a little easier to move on from it.

i would always get really really depressed, cause i didn't know what we should be doing different or what we might have done wrong. when you time your bding right and you know you O'd, and then she shows, it's completely depressing. i only cried once. i think if i would have cried more, i might have felt a bit better, cause i didn't want to make DH feel bad, so i kept it bottled up inside.

In the past ... I just sighed and moved on ... today AF showed up ... I started crying right away.

This past month we really put all our efforts into timing, vitamins, eating better, no alcohol (well been doing
that for the last 4 months) ... had the SA test, the HSG test, first round of clomid ... we were just really
hoping ...

Back to the start again ... {{sigh}}

Some months it is harder than others.
Like it was really hard for me just before Christmas, because I wanted to be able to tell my parents in person while we were there, but no.
Or if I really feel like I was pregnant that month.
But other months I don't feel I have as good of a chance, so I expect it more.

I get more upset with BFN's than with AF. As soon as my temps start to drop I know she's on her way, by the time she arrives, I've had a couple of days to pout.

I cry, get mad and them I start to feel hopeful for the next cycle.

I cry and then get mad at myself for crying.

This cycle I cried a lot. I really thought we had a good chance, we even had a great temp spike and I thought I might be going triphasic. I started spotting on Friday, went to bed early with the thought that maybe it was just spotting, then AF really arrived the next morning---in time for my friend's baby shower. It was a hard day.

Usually I get a little down. I think that once I started the Clomid and knew that there was only a certain # of cycles I could be on it, the pressure was on.
