Keep me in check please (little long, sorry)

So, first off, I'm gonna kill DH because he didn't want me to use OPKs this month - he doesn't want to feel used (which I think is adorable and so I gave in to his wishes - plus its only like our 2nd month trying and I don't want to stress myself out over anything, and I totally did last month).

Given everything I said in ( ) just now, I still wish I had used OPKs because then I would know when I O'd. I think I probably O'd around Saturday, just going by dates (I don't get cramping or pain or really any CM - I like to call it Silent O'ing). Last Thurs right after BDing, DH said that he thinks I was ovulating because even though I wasn't feeling too great about myself and didn't seem like I was in the mood to, we did BD (so not me, if I feel the slightest bit anti BDing, I won't). So of course now I have NO CLUE when I O'd.

However, since Saturday I have had to take a nap EVERY SINGLE DAY in order to function, and wearing a bra drives me nuts. Its not that my boobs hurt, I am just so uncomfortable in every single bra (again, not like me, I hate being braless).

Let's now add in reality...I work FT, I commute a little over an hour each way (Central Suffolk to New Hyde Park), and I'm taking 10 credits this semester...2 online classes and 1 hybrid (lecture and online) class, so of course I'm doing schoolwork every day from the moment I get in (or rather up from my nap) until around 11 or 12 at night. This gives me a very good reason to be drop dead tired.

Yet in the back of my mind, of course you know what I'm thinking. And of course my manager (who knows I'm TTC) keeps dropping hints that she thinks it may be (even though she knows its too early to tell yet....she's just as excited about me TTC as I am - actually she's just as bad as all of us at hyperanalyzing every last little thing). Seeing how I am only about 6 - 8 DPO depending on what you ask DH, I need your help keeping me in reality check, because if I can't function next week too, I'm going to go crazy until I can POAS!! If you can just remind me that I'm burning the candle at both ends, that would be wonderful, thanks!

Re: Keep me in check please (little long, sorry)

I am of no help. I cheated and POAS you know this. I will tell you what you want to hear though, "You are working really hard that is why you are tired. Stop don't POAS don't do it." Don't you love when your DH is right. Don't tell him that though.

Seems you & I are on the same cycles. I have things going on with me that I can read into, but am trying not to. I hope yours are legit just take it easy & get some rest!

Re: Keep me in check please (little long, sorry)

Thank you for telling me what I need (but don't want to) hear, and for being supportive!!! DH goes from either just as bad as all of us, to mocking at times. And I might just smack him upside the head next time he mocks Now, I'm off to do homework Thanks ladies!!!!!!!!!

Oh and Heather, we are so on the same clock...last month I think we were even on the same - or 1 day off - CDs and DPOs
