    Well my temps took a ridiculous nose-dive today and I spent part of the morning crying because I couldn't find my comfy jeans and my hands were feeling too weak to do anything. It's going to be a crap day I can tell :(
    (((Hugs))).
    My temps are not good either:(

    For those who don't know, IVF kills the follicle (egg bags) when they take out the eggs, so my corpus luteum does not work anymore. So I have been taking progesterone. That may be the reason the chart looks so different from my 'natural' cycles. Hope so anyway:o

    Hubby was very down when he left for work this moring but I'm surprisingly ok with it. Just because this is my first month trying doesn't mean that I haven't already experienced ups and downs.
    Yes first tests are the worst. Men tends to think they have super sperms:D So if it fails, they feel they've let you down:o

    Emsbet, Euronorris and everyone else who have said they will not return.

    I was debating doing the same... but I decided not to. I have apologised if my comments upset anyone, explained the meaning behind them and removed them I refuse to kowtow butt nekkid for anyone. Others have also been made to feel awful for their comments and apologised but some of the objections have not been done particularly gracefully and it feels a little playgroundy...

    We are all here for different reasons, some for support, to alleviate boredom, to get technical help, as a means of planning for their future etc. But we all have 1 thing in common - we want children. whether it's today, tomorrow or December we have that in common.

    It's ironic really that we all have a goal and when some reach it some people get upset by how it is announced? and I know I am contradicting my earlier statements - I was asking for sensitivity but it does seem that the level of sensitivity required will be impossible to achieve. I can also understand those who get a twinge of envy whatever because I've announced I've ovulated, had a period, got a good BD shafting because all of our situations are different. I said yesterday I'm envious because someone is going away.

    Now, get upset all you want over the above but I cannot cater to everyone's feelings and my comments are not intended t offend. If anyone objects to any of my cryptic posts - tell me, do it here but do it nicely please. I have feelings too. And hearing people say 'I'm laughing at my desk' brightens my day... I have lifted someone's spirits. This is a serious business here, stress affects it and getting all het up over words on a screen when you can ignore them seems self-destructive.

    Also, if there is a set criteria to be in here please let me know. Because I would rather chose not to join rather than be excluded or hounded out nor do I particularly like censorship. I am a liberal you know:p
    I also like a balanced group/opinion which pre-TTC-er's, BFP-er's, long term-er's and me-er's will give. If I cannot get that here I am in the wrong group.

    And to end.... IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!

    Hi, Can I join you all. I'm planning on starting to ttc again once af has arrived following a m/c a couple of weeks ago.

    I came to this group a couple of years ago when ttc my son and found it a really supportive group. I've read back over the posting over the past few days and realise there has been some issues here but I'm hopeful that everbody will start pulling together again and remember we're all after the same thing at the end of the day.

    So if you'll accept me, I'm ttc what will be my 4th. I have probably been through it all in pregnancy and in the past have taken between a 1mth to 12mths to conceive so I could be with you for a few month's or a year, but first of all I need to wait for my first af to arrive following the m/c as until then I won't know where my cycles are.

    Any way good luck to everybody on the path to concieving however long or short that path may be.:)

    hello all :wave:

    just thought i would add a proper introduction to the thread, im going to be joining you all for a while ;)

    Im on my first official month of TTC after several years of ups and downs and not preventing/not actively trying.

    Im currently on CD16 (i think ??)

    For any posters who have a android phone - I would recommend the app 'my days' its free and allows you to add notes as well as calculating high fertility days and a period count down if you wish !

    :beer:

    I've not gone anyway, I'm still posting here but as the others haven't been tempted back I am posting a bit there too because I like those guys and want to stay in touch and share their journey too regardless of them being on a different part of the track to me.

    I like your posts they make me giggle and like you said we all need that sometimes. :o I have been affected more than I care to admit by the last couple of days and I know I had my role in that and have appologised and for me that is the end of it because, quite frankly I'm missing my sleep and my poor DH is getting the brunt of my crankiness! :o So I'm happy to put all this behind us, learn and move on because damn it people I like it here and think you are all wonderful, strong amazing people!

    So one more time lets bring these creepy guys back ----> :grouphug: and hug it out.

    Right that's it my username is going to be Memsbet from now on! No actually you can all call me kmkmkmkmkm from now on! - Unless it means something rude in another language! ;)

    Hello and welcome.

    Yep it's been a bit crazy over the last few days but there must be a full moon or something as it's normally a brilliant thread. It's settling down and I'm sure by this evening it will all be back to normal again.

    Sorry to hear about your mc and wishing you the same luck (with lots of baby dust) as to all the other women on this board with TTC.

    By the way - very cute baby in your piccie :D
