BFP! TFAS and Breastfeeding

[Deleted]

Literally just got my BFP! So excited!

***Trigger Warnings***

Cycle/Month: 2/2 TFAS, LONG cycles due to breastfeeding

CD/DPO: CD35/11DPO

EDD: July 12th by first day of period, July 21st by Ovulation day

What we did: Had regular sex. Nothing crazy though just eod. 

Symptoms: Super emotional and weepy, but that could have been for other things too. I started crying at the final episode of the office today (which I have seen tons of times) and I thought I would test. Also no spotting. 

How I told my H: Haven't yet! Any ideas??? We have a son who is almost a year old now. 


The Mushy Stuff: We got super lucky and conceived quickly. Last time it took 6 months of trying, so I was prepared for a similar wait again. I know I got pregnant faster than some and we didn't have to fight through much, but I really appreciated being able to come back here to this community when we started trying again. You don't really get to talk about fertility and trying to get pregnant in your everyday life, so this community has been a great support to me. The more we talk and share each other's experiences the more we know about our bodies, which is good for everyone TTC or TTA. Thank you!

Thank you everyone... unfortunately my joy has been marred after hearing the election results. Now I have to face being a working mom of two, an immigrant and military spouse with a sexist, racist, xenophobic and war mongering MAN in White House.

I am happy beyond measure to be pregnant, but terrified of the challenges I now face.

A lot of people are upset about the election. Try to have some perspective though. There's a very good chance that my joy will be "marred" when I get blood work back today because there's a good possibility I will miscarry and be a mom of zero, again. Your family is healthy and growing. Be happy today.

I'm not trying to play pain olympics here, but come on. You posted a pregnancy announcement in a space full of women who want nothing more than to be pregnant, and then the very next day come back and say you can't be joyful anymore because of the presidential election? I'd venture to guess that every woman on this board would happily trade places with you today. Be joyful. You have been blessed with something wonderful.

I am so sorry for your possible loss. I hope there is still hope for your pregnancy. 

But don't tell me how I should feel. I am fully aware that I am blessed and privileged beyond measure, but today I am distraught for myself, my family but most of all for those who have had their voice drowned out and live in fear. Don't tell me how I should feel.

Feel how you want. We're all having feels about the election. I'm just saying that if you, newly pregnant lady who we all barely know, come into a "room" full of not pregnant women and announce that you can't be joyful anymore because you don't like our new President, you're going to get shit. I don't like our new president either, but I'm going to be damn happy for as long as my pregnancy lasts because it's a blessing some have and never will experience.

[akraus2015]

Or. Actually. Go ahead and be one of those people who refuses to accept joy. I don't care how you choose to feel. Just don't do it here, where most of the women would trade places with you in a heartbeat.

[housecarder]

Oh.

I'm sorry that it took you a whole 6 months last time and you were so "lucky" to have it so easy this time. Cool story bro.

We are all upset about Trump. Some of these amazing women are also upset about years of IF and no babies and the possibility that they might loose what little insurance coverage that they do have, putting the possibility of ever having a take home baby even further out of reach.

So please take that shit somewhere else.

Sending you the biggest hugs lady.

@frantheman, I understand your concerns, but the place for them now is your BMB or the pregnancy board.

[teraiin]

Oh. She poofed.

[akraus2015]

For real?? The biggest of eye rolls.

You are pregnant be joyful for that.

Most if not all of us are upset about the election.

A lot of us were hoping for Clinton because of her fighting for women's and reproductive rights. That has now been stripped from us. A lot of us are dealing with IF and you took all of 2 months to get pregnant this time and 6 months the first time. Some of us have IF coverage and a lot of us don't and we are now further than ever at being about to get that coverage and have a chance to have a take home baby.  I get that you are upset about the election results but your main board post hurt a lot of people because you weren't active on here outside of the TWW and now you post this.  This belongs on your BMB not here.

I'm sure she'll be back under a new name on her BMB and complain about all us bitches over here. I mean, seriously, ffs, we all have to deal with Trump, but I'll totally trade you for the BFP.

Jokes on her then because I'll call her shit out over there too!

[akraus2015]

Also I'm pretty sure I need an "Okay buh bye" folder for real life too.

Is this where I chuckle at getting a trigger warning AFTER seeing a thread titled "BFP, tfas, and breastfeeding"? lol. I think I've already seen all the ways that someone already has kids and wasn't trying for very long prior to being warned.

I am happy for these lucky people but I just need something to find funny. Back to planning how I can go off the grid in America.

Off the grid means no more forum. Don't you dare.

Never could I ever live off the grid. Maybe for a month. Then back to flushable toilets and hot showers!
