You May Officially Call Me Crankypants April 4, 2006
I can’t say that my crankiness is easing up any, but I can say that Dan and I aren’t biting each other’s heads off anymore. We’re just laughing about it now. Dan’s getting a kick out of calling me nicknames with the word cranky in them: crankypants, crankyhead, you get the picture. I’m glad we can laugh about it. Oh, the joy of hormones.
I do think the birth control pills are a major culprit, but I have to admit that there’s more going on. My due date had I not miscarried the cycle before last would have been a week from Friday. I’ve been dreading that date, and it’s just getting harder the closer it gets.
I’m thankful that my brain has blocked out the would be due dates from my other cycles including the ones that ended in chemicals. April 14th is not a date I can forget, though. That pregnancy was the first time that I thought I actually had a chance at becoming a mom. It kills me that if things had gone differently I would have been.
I had really hoped to be pregnant again by the time 4/14 rolled around. I guess I was for like a day or two, but that’s not exactly what I had in mind.
I know I’ll make it through the next 10 days and beyond. It’s hard, though. Some days are harder than others. However, every now and then one thing or another will happen that lets me know that things are going to be ok. I’m thankful for times like that.

I am so sorry. Those due dates can be really tough.
how about crabby patty?
thinking of your amanda.
I’m glad you can laugh about the crankiness…that does take the edge off somewhat! I hate those should-of-been due dates, they just suck unbelievably bad.
Dr. Crankenstein!
Due dates just suck. I’m sorry.
Be cranky, be bitchy, be whatever, do whatever to help you get through this time. I’m sorry about the upcoming date…
Thinking of you!
I gotta say - BCP do the exact same thing to me. Never was able to laugh about it tho - way too crabby!
I’m sooo sorry you have such a sad date coming up :( I agree with one of the comments above - be whatever you need to be and just get through it
{hugs} to you and Dan
At least you can joke about the crankiness, I guess. But I still think you are entitled to be as cranky as you want. Hope you make it through the 14th.
be as cranky as you want. you deserve it.
“Dr. Crankenstein” is inspired!
Those due dates are awful awful awful.
I’m sorry you’re having to deal with a due date. It is so unfair. You are a strong person though, and I think you are right when you say you will make it through.
My husband and I will say “who’s got their crankyboots on?” when the cranky thing rears its ugly head.
Hang in there Amanda. It’s good to acknowledge the due date and the pain that accompanies it. I’m sorry you have to though and hoping there will be much happier dates in the furture.
I’m so sorry that you have to deal with a due date that could have been. I hope that you manage to get through it.
Due dates are hard and it sucks theres no way to avoid them, I’m sorry you are facing this one with BCP induced crankiness to just make it even worse.
Amanda, I’m thinking of you. Dreading mine as well, which is just days from yours.
Crankypants … classic.
Hope the next week passes very, very quickly.
