    So many BFPs - did you all just spend the whole weekend weeing on things???

    Massive congrats to MrsJ, trina and teaandcupcakes - and massive apologies if I've forgotten anyone else. Sending sticky bean vibes to you all.

    I am mightily fed up with TTC now. Mostly because I'm not very good at it. It looks like clomid has stopped me ovulating... how is that even possible?!

  • I am also suffering with low PMA which is kind of why i've not been posting very much recently - with so much good news over the last few days, I don't want to bring the thread down.

    I'm now 4DPO with no chance this month.

    Congratulations for the BFPs!!!

    Happy to see all the BFPs :D I hope there are even more in the next few days.

    Well I feel like crap, caught a massive chest infection while I was away, and since I have asthma I was feeling like I was constantly drowning in my own lungs. Doctor started me on steroids which helped a lot. I was feeling a little guilty about taking steroids right after OV, until I had a look online and found lots of women were prescribed my dose to take from OV to help with conceiving :o Lets hope it works for me :D

    Picked up my first pair of glasses this weekend, never needed them before but I had a routine eye test last week and found I needed them. I'm amazed by how different everything looks, I thought I had good vision until I tried them on :eek: My ears do hurt though, the chest infection has made me even deafer than usual so I've had to wear hearing aids non stop the last few days (I hardly use them normally as I can lip-read really well). There just isn't enough space behind my ears for hearing aids and glasses and they are starting to rub a bit :mad:
  • Hi all,Sorry I havent posted since I joined you guys it is crazy busy at work (Teacher) this time of year is manic I barely have time to breathe!
    I am working myself up because I came off the pill in July and apart from my withdrawal I STILL have had no AF at all :(
    its really getting me down but hubby is great and telling me not to worry but it is hard :(

    comp, maybe a month with no chance will help. Last month I had one of those and a month of not driving myself crazy in the 2ww was just what I needed.

    Thanks ladies. The doctor thing wouldnt work because he's registered at a different surgery to me and even if I booked an appointment he'd still not go. If he cant see that 2 years free of contraception should have resulted in something by now or listened to me when I have told him and begged him to go and get checked out or when i told him that the nurse said he needed to go then I dont know what it is going to take. I just hope he gets there before its too late. He's already said he doesnt want to adopt. Very frustrating when your future relies upon someone so deep in denial. To be honest, I think he's worried that I would leave him if it turned out to be a problem with him, which I wouldnt. Despite how crazy he makes me, our life is pretty good whatever happens. I just wish we had all the facts to hand.

    Anyway, pms syptoms a go go here. I expect the witch to appear in a week.

    Good afternoon ladies, I hope you all had nice weekend-

    Congrats to all the bfps and hugs to those who are feeling low!

    AFM, things are okay. DH had a bit of a freak out about the whole ttc thing over the weekend. Work is very busy for us both at the moment and a lot of things going out. Honestly, I can see where he is coming from but I am worried that this journey could take a while.

    I have celiac disease, alopecia and fibroids so am worried if I wait for the time to right and it takes longer than normal it mightn't ever happen. It's only been a couple of months so should prob stop freaking out.
  • I was upfront with my mum and SIL when we started TTC - I told them I was having the implant out hoping it would avoid any third degrees as to when we're going to start.

    For the first three months, every four weeks or so SIL and my mum would ask "any news?". Now they've stopped. Every cloud and all that... My mum reckons she'd be able to tell (and true enough she guessed the month we had the chemical pregnancy) but I've told her I won't say anything until around 8 weeks. Not after last time.

    My parents have two grandchildren by my brother. Obviously they adore them (they're lovely kids) but my mum keeps saying that she wishes that she could have been more involved in the pregnancies. So not only am I failing DH, I'm also depriving my mum...

    (Can you tell it's my first day back after two weeks off? And I've just seen a 12 week scan on FB when I should have been having my own next week?)

    Bleurgh, my PMA at an all time low today. Having spent the whole weekend wondering whether I've done the right thing with my job, I went in this morning (despite coming down with some kind of lurgy over the weekend) and asked my line manager rather than taking a day of sick as I felt really ill, could I work from home in order that I'm not breathing over all my colleagues and he still gets his project finished.
    The look he gave me I will never forget - I might as well have been a piece of dog**** on the bottom of his shoe - and then basically shot me down in flames. I know I have peed them off by handing my notice in but why not deal with it like an adult. It made me realise how much I HAVE made the right decision to go! I just can't face the next 4 weeks being treated like an idiot but unfortunately I have no holidays to take :-(
    There have been a few people handing in their notice recently but none of them seemed to have caused as much upset with the management team as I have...
    I know I shouldnt even be worried about it, but what do I do, if the next month in my job my life is made a misery?

    Urgh how petty of your boss Squirrel! At least there's no more doubt about whether or not you've done the right thing! If he carries on being awful take it to the manager above him. If it gets really bad you could always end up being signed off with stress/anxiety. :o Try not to dwell on it (as hard as that is!) and keep thinking of how little time you've got left there! :)

    COMP, my Mum knows about us TTC but stopped asking every time she saw me a long time ago! In her words, 'I do care and I hope it'll happen soon but I know that my asking won't help anything so I'm keeping quiet as I don't want to upset you' :o She's also said it's different with sons and daughters, she's excited about my brother's wife having a baby but can't get too involved as she feels like she'll be stepping on too many toes, when it's me she knows how far she can push the over-excited meemaw thing (as she'll be calling herself!) and I won't get annoyed with her! :p

    So sorry about the worries Code, it must be really scary for our guys too. I worry that OH would leave me if it turned out that I couldn't have kids and I'm sure he feels the same, as irrational as we both know that is! :p

    At this point I just want to know one way or another. :o

    Sorry you're feeling so under the weather RazWaz! Have you thought about contact lenses for when you have to wear your hearing aids? I remember when I got my first pair of glasses and realised that things 20 feet away aren't meant to be blurry! ;) It's 7 months since I had my eyes lasered and I can't believe I used to wear glasses; I love being able to see without worrying about glasses or lenses, it's amazing! :T

    Had my first fall at badminton at lunchtime. :( My knee and ankle hurt, think I'll be propping them up and not doing anything useful tonight. :o I had thought that *when* I get PG I'll carry on playing until I can't keep up but knowing how easy it is to trip over my own feet now I might have to rethink that!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
