</div><div>I went off the pill a long time ago because I hated how I felt on it, and also for the TTC purposes (which we won't be doing for a few years).  I went on it for two months so I wouldn't have my period during our wedding, and I gained three pounds of pure bloat and feel like I looked fat at our wedding.</div><div>

You could always blur out his face. Which would make your pictures look a little weird, but dammit I want to see!

Led- Hi. :)

While we're on the topic of BCP, I went off mine a few weeks ago because I don't have any refills left and I can't get into the gyno until July. But part of me (ok most) doesn't want to go back on the pill because I am a moody bitch during my period and the pill makes it stupid hard for me to lose weight. I'm hoping H can deal with condoms until he gets a vasectomy because I like not being a raging hormonal psycho.

That may be the case but try not to let it discourage you, Nebb.

I've been trying to eat better while going to the gym but one thing I always forget to look at is sodium intake, which can cause bloating. I'm always ocncerned about calories, fat, protein and sugarand whatnot and forget about sodium. Have you been looking into it at all?

Hold on, I'm gonna PM you in a minute...

I have been having intense panic attacks for a week. Like, hyperventalating, going to pass out panic attacks. I feel horrible that my poor husband has to deal with them, and I think it's becoming a real issue.
 I don't know if it is finals stress, or sick dog stree, or what, but I'm considering finding a doctor.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Oh Jas how terrible I would definitely encourage you to find a doctor.  You shouldn't have to live like that.

I confess that ever since we got our puppy we never have sex anymore.  The honeymoon was awesome but when we came back... we were just always too tired again.  I confess that while I love her, I kinda resent her.

LedZeppelin

That's really scary, Jas. I hope you're ok. I think seeing a doctor would be a good idea.

<div>My TMI confession: Mine can't. He's too paranoid after his crazy ex got knocked up after a broken condom and tried to manipulate him with it before getting it taken care of. I ran out of pills a month ago and am too nervous about seeing a new doctor etc., that I haven't gone in, and so yeah, we haven't had sex in a month. </div>

J&K10910

I'm a mess.  I teared up reading a stupid sappy friendship card in Target today, I yelled at FI for no reason, and then I cried, and he looked at me like I had 4 heads.  I'm already planning ways to NOT kill my parents on Thursday and Friday.  FMIL asked me today if I was getting nervous and I almost yelled at her.  Sigh. 

TheCranberry

Jas, you should definitely go to the doctor.  I hope you figure out what is triggering you.

AATB, does the dog sleep with guys?

Nebb, I got on the BCP to avoid my period during the wedding/honeymoon, but I had to stop because I had my period for 3 weeks!  I can't try others because of other issues so I guess nature will have her way.  I haven't had a new period yet since I got off, and I have been soooo bloated for like 2 weeks.  It should start any day now so I'm hoping it goes away soon.  Grrr.  So I know how your feel about tight pants and all of that.  I hope yours is period related too.

I guess I could blurr out FI's picture, but that's not as fun right?  Esp for engagement pics.  Then it just looks like I'm showing glamour shots of myself.  Haha.

Oh, Jas.  : (

:(  If not a doctor, does your school at least have a free/low cost counseling center? 

jasmineh7777

Thanks guys.:) I have insurance; I just haven't seen a regular doctor for like 2 years. I made an appointment, so hopefully it will get better. I think my stupid heart has something to do with it.

Sounds like your H has good reason to be freaked out by them. H is just a whiner and doesn't like the 'barrier'. I do, because that barrier is (99.9%) preventing little asshole kids that I don't want.

Also, more TMI. Before I started working out, my sex drive was really low so H got a lot of... ahem mouth hugs. Now that I've started exercising, I'm like "SEXALLTHETIME!!" You now have the intimate details of my fairly boring sex life. You're welcome.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Yes Cran.  We started letting her sleep with us because I got tired of getting up in the middle of the night to clean up dog shiit, and she doesn't shiit in the bed. 

J I hope this is just a bad day and tomorrow will be better for you.  Your wedding is coming up so fast, I'd hate for you to be miserable during what is supposed to be one of the happiest times of your life.

Celles

Is she crate trained, AATB?  Crating worked wonders with the little she-demon in my avatar.

I pictured you as a hyperbole character saying this and it made me snort. I should draw that...

SEWF

I confess that I've never been on BCP because I am afraid of the side effects. H is fine with using condoms, so I got really lucky. We're at the point where we're not trying to get pregnant, but if it happens, it happens.

He's also fine with getting snipped after we have three kids, so I won't have to worry about it anymore.

J&K10910

AATB, it's not so much miserable as just really emotional.  I'd like to hope it's impending wedding emotions.  But my parents are REALLY good at pushing my buttons.  Love them, but sometimes...sigh.

I am feeling better now that I finally had lunch, so maybe I was just exceptionally hungry earlier   That is QUITE possible.

pixiedust84

Okay I just read this whole thread slowly doing other things so I hope I cover everything:

Nebb - I'm sure it's just bloat and I wouldn't worry yet. Keep doing what you're doing - you're SO awesome for doing it.
CCF - Don't hate yourself - you're seriously wonderful.
LedZep - Hi!
UM - I would LOVE to see your dress. You should be excited about it and if you feel good in it of course we're going to be able to tell that and think you look beautiful.
Cran- you could AW glamour shots every day and I'd love them
Jas - I'm sorry - that's scary. Hugs to you.
JK - Hugs to you too - I hope you're able to relax and just enjoy this weekend!

I'm with AZ (I think - now I don't remember who said it) with the hoping birth control fails. I totally have baby fever but know we should wait until we know where we're going to live and Fi graduates and has a job and everything.

I'm a mess this week. Fi hurt his back and has been bedridden the last week - I've been trying to manage my busy event season which means tons of long work days and being all over the place, and somehow waiting on Fi hand and foot. I'm exhausted and feel like crying and I confess I want him to get better mainly so he can take care of himself, which is so selfish!

LesPaul

{{hugs}} Jas.  Feel better!

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Yes Celles!  She actually loves her crate But even if she sleeps in the crate, we are both just so exhausted it doesn't really matter.  Ben is really tired lately - he fell asleep last night at about 8:30 and today he texted me that he took a two hour long nap (he works half-days on Tuesdays). 

And J, I usually feel better with food in mah belly.  But here's to hoping the rest of the week goes better for you

J&K10910

Thanks guys   I'll make it.  I just need to get moving on today's to-dos and I think I'll feel better.

So on that note....later gators.

Ditto.

And Mara....that's how I felt after FI got out of the hospital of all things.  He was all: "I'm tired and so glad to be home..." and I was all: "SHUTUPANDTAKEOFFYOURPANTS!"

Dana1116

I confess that I deleted my facebook because I was sick of people saying "shower. bed. sleep. work/school. homework/other activity." then updating it 10 minutes later to say "bed. sleep. work/school. homework/other activity." Or: "shower. text me" 1, why would you want people to text you in the shower? Aren't you afraid of dropping your phone or getting it wet and frying it? 30 minutes later: "out of the shower! hmu!" CONGRATULATIONS....you didn't drown in the shower! And of course, the ever famous b!tching about someone and then having that someone you're b!tching about "like" it....and then concluding with a comments war and blown up notifications to anyone else who "liked" or commented on it. I will NEVER have a facebook ever again.

shaydenise

AATB, I can totally relate with H being sleepy all the time.  He wakes up in the morning and the first thing he says half the time is, "It's an early bedtime for me tonight."  Drives. Me. Crazy.  We're usually in bed by 9:30 blah.

BUT since Ben took such a long nap today you should just tell him he should be well rested for when you get home!
