Trying for a Baby Part 7

abis21

(((Hugs))) for bigzippy & lulu.

I still have most things in the loft QQ. I am a bit of a hoarder. Have been really good at sorting the loft and ebaying lots of things lately - but the 'baby' corner is untouched for now.

I know there are somethings that I will want to buy and do things slightly differently with the benefit of hindsight.

My mum and MIL will no doubt want to help and buy some new things too. It will be the first 'blood' grandchild for MIL & FIL and they do love my DD to bits - so think they will be super happy about everything. My sister also goes mad with baby outfits etc.

me too! Especially as our bedroom wall WAS that colour when we moved in and the first thing I did was paint it white. Perhaps I should have left it alone.........stupid advert:o.

Hope you're ok bigz. I know things are tough for you at the moment, have you thought about maybe putting ttc on hold for a month or two to give you and your hubby a bit of a break? this whole ttc lark can be very draining and you may find putting it to the back of your mind even for a short time will help you recharge your batteries xx

I've told him that I hadn't ov'd when we first thought, and that he should prepare himself that our chances are pretty non-existant this cycle, which he said he knows. I don't temp, I've no OPKs, I can't use CBFM til the next cycle, and I've not been checking CM etc much either, only when it's been glaringly obvious EW like the other day. I think if I tell him we're not trying for a couple of months it'll stress him out more, because he wants it soooo much, and I think we're both really aware that we want to be able to tell MIL we're pg before she's not here anymore In my head there's no chance of getting pg before getting clomid, and that won't happen before at least June, but, it doesn't stop you wanting to "cover your bases", does it? :cool:

How are you doing colli? I still think of you even though you don't post much

Hugs Lulu - treat yourself to a glass of wine or some chocolate or both.

BZ - big hugs, you are doing all you can until you see fs again. Keeping my fingers crossed for you getting you BFP real soon.

Dulux advert is stupid, but having said, we are about to decorate our bedroom and are papering one wall and painting the rest abd the paper is red with cream flowers. Not starting decorating until after Easter but keeping fingers crossed!

Big Z - just to try and cheer you up.

If you were Ann Boleyn or Catherine of Aragon you'd actually still have your head. Where they went fatally wrong was making the worst sin of all and having a girl.

So, on a positive note, you've still got your head!

Have to say, if Henry 8th looked like Mr johnothan Rhys Meyers in the Tudors I'd have been there like a shot; risk of head being chopped off or not. He is gorgeous!

Hugs to all in need.

I have spent my sunny sunday making these - Jubilee Bunting anyone?

Hello ladies.

Nothing new with me (just waiting for AF which is quite overdue) but I just wanted to pop on to say hello to you all, congratulate those with a recent BFP and give hugs to those that need it x x x

colli I asked dh outright and he said ttc wasn't a source of stress for him as we haven't really been - just bd when we can/fancy/have what it takes. He's adjusted his expectations accordingly, but said he just gets really sad about it.

[strike] qq can you put me back to awaiting ov please? Still soft high and open, so my body clearly doesn't want to do anything other than be stressed right along with me.[/strike] In fact:

I think it's best if I take a massive step back from this thread now. I'll probably still read along, but I don't think I get or give the level of support from/to it anymore. It's not fair to go on about my situation with my mil so much, which at the moment is a major part of our lives, and my circumstances are such that without a drastic change (and probably further intervention) I won't be getting pregnant anytime soon. I think staying on here is just going to be torturing myself, watching all the newbies come and go (sometimes before I've even finished a cycle! ) with their bfps.

I'm genuinely happy for you guys, but it also hurts at the same time.

I wish you all the luck in the world for your bfp/stickiest beans.

My pm box is always open to anyone that wants to drop me a line, especially to you longer term ttc gals who aren't on the 12m+ thread already.

I'd say I'll come back and let you know if I get a bfp, but it'd probably so long coming that noone would know who I was on here by then anyway

Good luck ladies :wave:

BZ - Huge Hugs I will MISS YOU. Please stay around & keep in touch xxxx Lots of Love xxxxxx

BZ - you will be missed.

I for one don't think it's unfair to "go on" about anything - that's what this is here for.

But, if that's what you feel is right for you then I wish you all the best. Do come back and let us know when you are successful.

I sometimes need to take a step back from the thread for a few days for my own sanity too Big Z. I know that might send a shudder through some of you, that this is me relatively sane

I don't think of the thread though as just being about symptom spotting and pinpointing where we are in our cycles. It's more (to me at least) a place where we can support each other with the day to day stress which ttc heaps on top of the other stresses and issues in our lives. So sick relatives, job uncertainties, problems in relationships, and any other general life sh!tt!ness is bang on topic I think.

If it would bring you peace to take a break, then go and don't look back. We'll all probably be cyberstalking you anyway as we do with emsbet and some of the others who don't post so regularly any more, so we won't miss any big announcements (though coming back to tell us anyway would be nice). But if the thread can offer you any comfort and friendship during what is an extremely tough time for you and your OH, I hope you'll stick around.
