- Do not record your symptoms in FF. They will just give you false hope. You can have all of the symptoms and not end up pregnant.
- Same holds true for temping. Stop temping once you know you have ovulated. Just start wearing protection on CD13 and call it a day.
- Do not read facebook on CD1. Inevitably someone will announce their pregnancy...or in today's case..TWO people.
- Watch Weeds. Weeds makes you feel better.
- Do not get mad/angry/jealous/irritated with people who say "I'm so sorry" or "It will happen when it happens." or "God has perfect timing." They mean well. They want you to feel better.
- Remember it is not a race. Who cares that people that are younger than you are working on their second, third, or FOURTH babies (see bullet point #3)? You will have the perfect baby at the perfect time.
- As much as it feels like it, each busted cycle is not a reflection on you. You are not a failure.
- You are a mother, no matter what anyone says.

Firstly, all of your bullet points are so fitting for us all who have been in the CD1/terrible-no-good-very-bad-day boat (many times). Secondly, I don't know who would argue the fact that you're a mother. Clearly not anyone with sense. Thirdly, I know that God has perfect timing, but yeesh, couldn't he give us a glimpse of his Franklin planner? Life would be so much easier then. {Hugs}
Yes a million times to the last point. Yes yes.
I love you so much.
Gosh I'm sorry. I remember what it was like to be in your shoes and it stinks. I am wishing you MUCH LUCK in this cycle!! And yes, you ARE a mom.
Perfectly well put and so very true!
