  • Most OH's are the same, it can become too presurised for them if they know when the vital time is. Just jump him when the time is right ;)

    What sort of length have your cycles been? Could you be pg? Have you tested?

    xx[/QUOTE]

    They've been anything from 27 to 40 days!! Haven't tested but I'm almost positive I'm not pg! However, OH is adament he has 'super sperm' :rotfl:. I'm sure AF is not far off, been having cramping for the past few days!!

    Sorry, I feel awful feeling so bad when I am still in the early months of trying whilst some of you have faced awful heartache over the past months and year. Just finding it hard to keep picking myself up and trying again. Then I realise that we are all in the same boat and women's bodies are evil and do what the hell they like.

    Moan over with. If AF appears tomorrow then I plan on having a huge party tomorrow night and then ditching the booze until December 24th, and if I not pregnant by 24th December then I am having champagne on christmas day and will toast to a new year coming and a new start.

    Totally understand flee. Ttc is confusing, annoying, frustrating, upsetting... Horrible!! Good plan re booze! Fingers crossed for an Xmas bean xxx

    Zippy - how is everything going for you at the moment? Have you had your appointment yet? How is your MIL?
    Um... stressful? I'm trying to be laid back about TTC, which is actually easier when I'm not mithering with temping and we're just DTD every couple of days anyway, so it doesn't really matter if I know when I ov'd, so long as I DTD and either get a proper AF or a BFP. It's the !!!!py not-really-AFs that drive me mad, cos they usually mean no ov. It's also easier not to obsess so much about TTC when there's so much other stuff going on too. There's only BD gonna make a difference, either way :o;)

    MIL... not great. :( Waiting on the first op atm, and hoping she gets back the functionality she had before the stroke...only time will tell :cool:

    How are you? Did you stay on the diet bandwagon? How's your DH? I've been thinking about you, but not had much chance to scratch, nevermind PM or owt :o
    Hi *waves shyly*, can I join you lovely ladies please?
    :wave: Welcome to the madhouse :D:p

    I think you’ve got the right approach towards TTC at the moment. As you said yourself your going through a stressful time as it is and you don’t need the added pressure of worrying about TTC. Perhaps once the ball has started rolling with the gynae clinic you might also find that relieves your stress levels a bit. I think I would feel a bit of comfort to know that we were being looked after and that there was also someone else trying to help in the process. Think of it as someone taking a little bit of the pressure off of you onto their own shoulders.

    As for your MIL I’m keeping everything crossed for her. Can’t imagine how stressful it must be for you all at the moment. I’m sending good vibes her way x

    Diet is a bad word in my house lol. It’s not happened at all. I’m hoping I’ll be able to find my weight loss mojo soon as I’m getting fatter.

    As for our baby making bits (lol) they’re still not healed. Hubby has his follow up appointment a few days before Christmas so we’ll see what happens then. I really don’t know what they’ll say as it should have healed by now. As for me I was on a real concoction of tablets the other week as I still had heavy bleeding. It all came to a stop but I have been bleeding on and off again since. The only thing is I have no idea if it’s my cervix still bleeding or if it’s my period (as I’m on something like CD37). So I’m gonna give it a week or so but I might need to go back to the docs. Ah well, we’ll get there but we’ll definitely not be back to TTC by the end of this year which is a bit of a bummer.

    I was originally very down in the dumps that we were having to put TTC on the back burner for even longer but I’ve been a bit pre-occupied with selling our place. We recently had some good news too – we have a buyer (yippee). So fingers crossed that everything goes through.

    Oh, just remembered something……QQ, I’m now 27, can you please update my age on the list. Thanks.

    hullo all, and hullo to the newbies!
    Well tested on Saturday and it was a BFN, but was really stupid and did it at night after having been drinking loads of water all night. So oops. Will wait another few days and test again. All going well if my cycle has returned to normal (30/31 days rather than the 60 I've had most of this year) and should be due today. But no signs, not even had any cramping at all since early last week, which I am rather enjoying which ever way it goes.
    Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.

    Which is :( but at least AF finally showed, AND it means that I've got the art of identifying EWCM - as I'm exactly 14DPO on that basis.

    Ugh.

    Thanks,, I can but try :o Appointment is on Wednesday arvo, and they've sent me a leaflet outlining what they'll do first etc. SA for DH will be set up, I'll have more swabs (_pale_ getting sick of them wanting to go near my lady bits! DH is grumpy about that too lol) and perhaps another scan, with some more blood tests - though how they'll schedule those, with my wonky cycles, I'm not sure yet! :p

    Thanks dude :) It was really depressing visiting her yesterday, cos she was saying how much she couldn't do/needed help with, and how little the nurses will help her :(

    Maybe when you can actually start TTC again you'll get the weight loss mojo back? It's hard to kick start these things when you're not in the right frame of mind/see the immediate point. Hopefully you'll both get the all clear sharpish :) Hang in there :o

    I’ve been a bit pre-occupied with selling our place. We recently had some good news too – we have a buyer (yippee). So fingers crossed that everything goes through.
    :T Good luck with the sale :)
