ttc is worse than waiting for christmasSubmitted by motormouth on Thu, 09/11/2008 - 7:49pm.
Sorry i'm whining, but i need somebody to whine to because none of my friends get it. Oh and does anybody want to see the diapers that i am making? (in a desperate attempt to keep my hands busy and off my girly parts)- or should i just save that stuff for the diaper sewing divas? i've been following all your recent posts and i know how excited you are that you guys are officially 'trying' now.... i wish i had some advice on how you can stay cool until things start happening, but i'm at a loss seeing as i'm the most impatient person EVER! all i know is you have a right to be crazy-happy-jumping-up-and-down-screaming-dancing-ecstatic to be finally TTC after being patient for so long.... don't drive yourself crazy with the waiting game, but let yourself really ENJOY how truly happy this process makes you! this is what you've been waiting for-- shout it from the rooftop! "hi, my name's motormouth and I'M TRYING TO GET KNOCKED UP!!!" good luck, mama, and enjoy all the hot unprotected sex! Make baby clothes, make toddler clothes, make some bedroom decorations. Don't worry about boy or girl; just make some stuff and whatever you don't use, save for the next bean or donate to charity. Or give away as baby gifts! When you become a parent somehow you end up with a million parent-friends and have baby showers and birthday parties galore. Have lots of sex, and when your period comes, treat yourself to a bottle of wine. Track your temp and have lots of sex. Did I mention the sex? Then when you get pregnant enjoy that sex. Lay off the titty squeezing and cervix hunting. You probably aren't hurting anything, but it's making you nuts, yeah? Just relax, enjoy the ride. And the sex. no, no advice. I think this is just one of those life situations where you are going to be on pins and needles and that is OKAY. It is what it is, and it is super important to you. That being said maybe just having a good time with your obsessive compulsive behaviour The heart has its reasons whereof Reason knows nothing. but i'm in the same boat. This is the 4th month of a "no-go". I feel pretty insane. Seriously. And in other news....Just commented on your diaper post. Love them! who knows. I'm not really sure it's possible. If I had to do it all over again I would try to take a walk every day and meditate regularly and eat well, because it can all help, but honestly, when I'm on pins and needles I can't really change that much just by wishing it away. make your own diapers (ok, not your OWN, but for your own baby)! That rocks. I want to see the diapers you're working on! I don't know how to stay calm through it, I certainly was not *hugs* lots of my friends who are ttc buy pregnancy tests at teh dollar store so they can test every day. I well probably do that next time. It's so wasteful but |
and having a good laugh at yourself is the best way to be calm. I have to admit the mental picture of you feeling yourself up and riffling around looking for your cervix gave me a little tickle. This is about your dreams mama and I don't think being Zen about it is really necessary. Just my humble $.02
why yes, it does suck. however i like to liken it to slot machine addiction.(minus the tight perm, dangling cigarette and tilted stool during potty breaks) its testing the buddhist in me something awful. (cycle 2 about to culminate after cycle 1 being a m/c, here.)
