Ugh. Women have it the worst!! Mine have always been fine and then a couple days ago got tight...then I could barely get them off last night. Now I'm scared to put back on. I'm hoping its temporary bc I'm actually losing weight (slowly). AF was here so maybe it's her fault.
Yea it is quite likely AF has something to do with it! Your problems seem easier than mine, lol.
Mine is definitely a long term issue But I have gotten to the point that there are times I can wear all my rings for longer periods of time. I know though if there is any chance at all of me swelling I don't even bother. I am also slowly losing weight so hopefully some day
I hope we both can wear our rings without fear, ha! I feel totally naked without them! I'm going to try some anti bloat stuff today to see if I can get it under control. That finger is so swollen now from the trauma of taking them off though...whoops!

Yea just for that reason you might want to take a break for the day. It's amazing how painful taking the rings off and how long you can feel it when your hands swell.
I have this problem. And have had this problem for quite some time. I gained so much weight after coming off of BCP. In such little time. Thanks PCOS.
I finally went and got my rings resized because I didn't see myself changing anything quickly and I hadn't been able to wear my this for about 6 months Even still sometimes if I am swollen I can't wear my second band... I either wear just one band or my engagement ring with a band soldered to it. Hate it so much.

My rings can't come off, I can still move then around my fingers but I think they will need a diamond cutter to actually get them off. Or it would hurt like hell trying to squeeze them over my fat fingers.
I guess I should have noticed this sooner and took them for resizing. I have gained 40lbs since the wedding so I'm sure that's why.
wannabmama, I'm sorry you guys were dealing with it too :\ Any tips welcome, if you have them. I've legit wondered (briefly) about a sex therapist.
Sex should be fun, damnit! If it's the only thing he has to do for this whole TTC business then I fee like he should be good. Sigh.
First MH is the same in that he is closer to take it or leave it with getting KU. He wants kids but is more ok with it not happening. It's nice on the one hand but also frustrating.
But we've sort of made everything into a joke and it's just easier to bring it up when it's time bc we have tried to keep it light...and have acknowledged that sometimes it's just baby making sex. When it's baby making time, he knows that it's go time and all pretense is put aside, ha. Wham bam thank you ma'am is fine. It sounds horrible that way...but it actually works for us. I guess it limits the romance but we actually get in way more sex and even if they're not overly romantic sessions...the sheer volume brings us closer together anyway if that makes sense? For MH knowing when it's FW time helps too, he sees it almost as a challenge.

Me too :/ I blame TTC. As soon as I start my new job path getting it under control is priority number one.

Lol. I was trying to figure out how to address this. Haha.
@icetea hugs. That's never a fun way to start your Friday. I hope you have a good night with him. I'm sure he will plan something nice.
Sex has been hard for us too, but on my end of things. I'm just not feeling it sometimes. He has a high sex drive so sometimes I will just give him a bj to avoid sex with him. I feel bad sometimes about not wanting it.
AT&T for some reason decided it is backing up my messages and it keeps popping up that I have a new message but in reality it is something from like a month ago.... It is very strange.
icedtea , booo to your H. I'm gonna need him to get with the program.
Part of it is that he's firmly in the camp of "if you get pregnant, YAY; if you don't, that's still cool and we'll travel a lot." That's cool, dude, but I clearly care more so COME ON.
This is how MH was until we went to the RE. Then he figured he needed to suck it up buttercup.

Morning! The kitten was gone when I got home from work yesterday. I knocked on my neighbors' door twice because I have to know what happened to the little one but they weren't home and then I spent the night sitting next to the window by their driveway, waiting, like a creeper. Either they're the wildest old people with a really great social life or they went away for the night because I went to bed around 10 and they still weren't home.
icedtea Hugs. I'm sorry your Friday isn't off to a great start. My H is very similar with that mentality. nuggetrn Your kitter is gorgeous! That last pic is such a call for a belly rub/rip your hand off when you try.

For MH knowing when it's FW time helps too, he sees it almost as a challenge.
I'm going to suggest some of this when H and I talk tonight. I guess he's also been feeling really pressured, which is causing some performance anxiety. But I don't even always tell him when I'm ovulating, so the only way I can make him feel less pressured is by not caring about ttc myself, which...yeah, no.
The US vs. Ecuador quarterfinal soccer match last night was full of excitement and drama (so many cards including one totally unjustified red against US) but the captain's armband made me especially emotional.
Oh and they won. US is advancing to the semi finals in Houston and H is looking at tickets.

I'm sorry it's tough for you too. Differing libidos can be really rough, even when there aren't additional stressors. Before TTC, H could go months without making any kind of move. It drove me crazy, but I also don't want to make him feel bad like that :\

I hope that does it for him if we end up there in a couple months. He did have a lightbulb moment this morning before he left and said "I don't really worry/stress about anything in our lives, which leaves you with the burden of juggling it all." YES H, THAT IS TRUE.

In the beginning, I didn't tell him when it was FW and tried to keep the mystery...but that led to me being frustrated if he didn't pick up on my advances. We sort of turned around the pressure by talking about it super openly, not sure it would work for everyone, but by giving him way advance warning about which week is likely to be go time and then doing silly things like giving a pep talk to, uh, his crotch in the morning about what's going to happen at night...or doing a major morning quickie with no pretense, it's just helped it not feel so pressured for some reason, even if it is essentially on demand, ha. Plus then we know we are going to try again every day or other day for a week so if any one time is "eh" so what no big deal, we'll try again later.

Hugs icedtea - sorry about your argument. DH and I are in a similar boat right now - I think since I started Clomid he's really feeling pressure and it's causing performance anxiety as well. And then he feels terrible and gets all upset because I have gone through so many things and he isn't doing the one thing that he has to do. I'm really not sure how this cycle is going to go once we get to FW.
I wish so bad that I could not be at work today - I have food poisoning or some other awful intestinal situation going on, and I'm DYING. But I have a huge hearing on Monday morning that is honestly probably going to have media in attendance and I need to prep all day. On the bright side, at least the huge hearing with the media present isn't today?
wannabmama, that makes a lot of sense. I think part of the reason I put so much pressure on each time is because I know I'm lucky to even get that in. If we know we're just going to keep trying, then I could chill out more.
