I am so FRUSTRATED.
I just want to sit in a corner and kick my feet on the floor and scream with this whole process.
I try to keep up the PMA, but I know exactly what you mean. This has to be the single most frustrating, uncontrollable, unpredictable thing I have ever tried to do. And to NOT be able to do something that it feels like everyone else can only makes it more annoying.
Sorry you are having such a hard time with everything, life isn't fair sometimes.0 -
I won't be here until the 16th, so be good:wave:

AFM, my MIL is either facing a highly risky amputation surgery, or going home, to "put her affairs in order" and see out her remaining daysHence why I'm so quiet.
I'm trying not to read too much into sore bo0bs/nips (classic for me in 2ww, regardless), constipation (had too many painkillers for the toothache), and being tired (not slept, because of said toothache), but I want it to mean something so much it hurts
:wave: to all, I'm reading along etc and feel for you guys who are going through it, but haven't got what it takes to string much of a sentence together :cool::o"I am indelibly stained by hope and longing" - Nuts in May0 -
Morning,
Have been awake since 2.30 am hence I'm really shuttered but need to go to work in an hour. OH has left, I feel really emotional.
QQ, of course I will test, what a suggestion:eek::D. Hope all will go well with MIL.
Def Blonde, I would stay put:o. But than don't listen to me, I'm way to careful with money, security, etc.0 -
Thanks everyone, will try my best at MILs:wave:
Aida, if it was a mc, I think you can start TTC right away as it was a very early one (chemical). With later mcs, one is advised not to BD/have bath/swim while bleeding(((hugs))).0 -
Aida - will be thinking of you today. If it was a mc then I don't think there is anything to stop you trying straight away. Sending big Hugs to you. Remember we are all here for you.
BZ - so sorry to hear about mil's decisions. Try to take care of yourself. Sending big hugs.
QQ - hope visit to mil goes well and that af holds off so that you don't miss next cycle of ivf.
2b - sending hugs, it's such a frustrating process and seems do unfair when others seem to have no problem. Have to believe that our time will come and it will be worth the wait.
Hugs to anyone else who needs one xxx0 -

I have a bit of a predicament. I don’t know if you remember but at the start of the year I said there was the chance I was going to made redundant this year, well the time has come.
I have the option to apply for voluntary or to stay and try and keep a job (got a reasonably good chance if I decide I want to stay). So I can take the cash (which is a reasonable amount) and leave towards the end of the year or stay.
The issues I have are
· I don’t really like my current role but I have a good overall package
· If I leave towards the end of the year and am pregnant who else will employ me
· Ideally I would like to go back to work part time and my current employer would be supportive of this, if I leave and am trying to get back into work after a maternity break there aren’t many part time jobs in my field
Friends, family and work colleagues are all giving advice but none of them apart from my Mum know we are ttc. Mum’s response is I’ll support you whatever you decide. Has anyone faced this issue before, what would you do?
Hi DF - Will the amount given to you on leaving be enough to see you through pregnancy and maternity? If so, then take the package and see it as a maternity pay, and start looking when you are ready to go back to work? Also, is your OH stable in his job, and can he support you both if nec?
Ok, my news, since I have never managed to catch ov on an OPK, but had ovulation pains etc, this month Im going to start earlier with the OPK - at CD10.
Also, my aptimist came this morning (royal jelly plus pollen and propolis). I had a spoonful yesterday and it was quite strong tasting so am sat here this morning with a spoonful spread on toast, and its not too different from honey, just has a smokier taste.
Good luck with mil QQ - she is lucky to have such a devoted d-il as you!

FF put its lines on at last and said I am 3DPO today
Had a big temp shift this morning. Eeekkkk. Sooooo happy. Didn't think it was gonna happen at all. DTD this morning after the temp shift, but had some swimmers in there already hopefully too.
Just need them to meet eggy, fertilise eggy, eggy to implant and we're away. What could go wrong now, lol :rotfl::rotfl:
Feeling so much happier today. Really pleased I went to the docs yesterday as I had been putting that off for such a long time. Feel like a weight has been lifted with that one.
Aida - I hope that you get some answers today. Its awful being in limbo, but like you say once you know whats happened you can then celebrate or start again. Will be thinking of you.
QQ, hope all goes well with MIL and hope AF stays away for you for the right amount of time.
Kavics - hugs for OH being away. Hopefully he will be coming back to some good news
Bigzippy - hope you are ok. Must be very hard having to help someone with decisions like that. Big hugs.
Definately blonde - what is your instinct telling you to do? Have you written all the pros and cons down on a piece of paper? I find it easier once it is written down, as that helps all the thoughts stop whizzing round my head.
Hope everybody else is ok.Married my lobster in July 2011
TTC # 2 since Oct 2011 - good things come to those who wait
:dance: 2013 is going to be our lucky year :dance:0 -
Hi everyone.
Hugs to everyone who needs them.
My weird symptoms still cont...AF has definately gone, after 2 days max, but I keep getting twinges/cramps in my tummy and I'm SO tired - fall asleep by 9pm and I'm normally a evening person also got lots of clear discharge (sorry for tmi!)
But I don't think I can be pregnant, as test was negative, and AF was fairly heavy for the one day...so confused, think I'll have to get another test just to make sure.0
