    Seems a few of us are feeling a little down and fed up lately :(

    Oh well AF due on Sunday so I suppose its not to long until i find out. This has to be the worst week of the cycle.

    Can I join the fed up gang? :cry: My AF is also due Sunday but already spotting and cramping a little (normal for me week before AF) so pretty sure I'm out this cycle. Not that surprising since temping indicated I OV'd on CD12 not CD14 as presumed and our BD timing wasn't ideal. I was still hopeful tho :o.

    Might also join the CBFM gang. A new toy might cheer me up.

    p.s as I've now been off the pill since Feb 09 is it time for me to move to the 12month+ thread?
    I don't feel ready for that yet as we've not been taking it seriously til Jan 10. Hope you don't mind me staying here?
    You can stay as long here as you want, or be like me and post in both:p

    I've been ttc since June 09, did fall pg in June but mc'd in Aug. We re-started ttc from Dec 09. So I'm reaching the 12 months mark in a month and a bit;)

    Stupid question time - if a bloke DTD but really struggles with it, it isnt spontaneous etc etc, could that possibly affect the quality/qty of his sperm?
    I don't know, it takes about 70 days for a sperm to mature, so I suppose most of them were already made;)

    Thanks Q and MV, I'm not ready to leave yet.

    Q - as someone who has had a MC then do you mind me asking you about my friend at work, as you can see she had a MC in Dec but I really had no idea, or that they were even trying.

    I got the impression that she wanted to talk about it and so I listened to her but never told her that I was TTC, I didn't want to make it all about me. Do you think I should tell her I am? I'm worried that if I am lucky enough to fall PG she'll think I've been hiding the fact that I'm trying form her. Maybe if I told her we could bond, share tips etc. I haven't really told that meany people in RL..x
  • MV thats just another thing to get stressed about, don't give it a thought. What about all the one-off or non ideal situations that people get pregnant in??

    Also they can check motility et.c. in a clinic situation...
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    @dustystar02.

    I can't speak for your friend, but what I wanted to do after mc was to talk talk talk:o All I wanted was sympathy for the 'child' I lost.

    If I knew the other person was ttc too, then I don't know. I don't want to scare them. I'd like my friend to have happy pregnancy without mc;)

    In my case I spilled my guts out to my siblings, both childless and non ttc.

    Perhaps you could listen to her without saying things like - you'll have another one soon, you had at least got pg once (or how many times, or have a child already).

    Can I be queen of the fed up gang ladies?
    The Christening may have been lovely but we got an unwelcome gift in the form of a norovirus :eek:
    It was a very rough night, now we're just pottering back and forth between the sofa and bed while trying to get some food down us.

    Not a great start to the month! My Bradford score is crap at work as well :(

    Now I feel dizzy so shall go have a lie down in front of Buffy/Angel

    Perdi,
    i've never heard anyone else mention a Bradford score before i wonder if you work in the same type of organisation as myself.

    I've caved in and booked myself a Dr's appointment. I'm building myself up to asking what he would do for a thin person in my situation and why don't i deserve that treatment/test etc. Probably won't get me far but at least it's a start.
  • So... the saga with my friend continues.

    She bled quite heavily on Sunday. Said she had 'unusual' cramping around the lower abdomen region. Said she usually has it much higher up. Anyhow the bleeding faded by Monday and is practically non existent today. She still thinks she could be pregnant. Says she feels weird butterfly feelings in her stomach. Not to mention she still feels as sick as a dog.

    I've told her to wait a week and do a test but i'm not convinced. I think her body is playing tricks on her. What say you?

    She could have got the norovirus like Perdi:p
    She could have had a very early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy).
    Or she could still be pg;)
