  • Thanks TCOD - OH is putting on a brave face, and tbh I think he is considering stopping the CBFM as he finds it too much pressure. The thing is with him workingnights we only ever BD for fun at weekends, and so if I'm not oving ona weekend it'll never happen.

    I am just shocked at how it made me feel this month. Does it get worse each month? Not sure I can do heartache this every month ha

    I know I'm not supposed to post here, but just wanted to say BIG ((hugs)) teamlowe and anybody else who would like one from me :o
  • Obviously I can only speak from my experience but I now spend most of my time avoiding babies/ baby things/ friends who are pregnant/ baby aisles etc. and then torturing myself with one born every minute. My OH has got very good with the TV remote and switches off baby adverts/ clear blue adverts pretty quickly. :o

    Every month for me is much worse as every month I get my hopes up that it'll be this month. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It's changed me as a person that's for sure!

    Even though I'm now on CD5- I'm still thinking 'oooh my temps are slightly up- maybe I should POAS'... TTC has made me crazy!

    Birdie - Superdrug one is the same sensitivity as an ic(although I got a false positive on one of those) or Frer will do the job too. Good luck.

    TeamLowe - know exactly what you mean. Definitely have friends who are onto their second baby since we've been ttc. There are some who have even had their second baby and so I can see their third in the not too distant future. Sigh. I wanted 2 or 3 but the time its taking to conceive the first probably means I'll only be able to have one before menopause. I'd be ok with that as long as I got 1. Sometimes I find it very hard to believe that we'll even get one child.

    Sometimes in my crazier moments I think maybe I shouldn't have picked out a girl name because maybe my future baby isn't coming because it's a girl and she doesn't like the name. Just my luck. A stroppy, imaginary future baby :rotfl:

    Hugs team Lowe x

    Feeling a bit sorry for myself. Got a water infection. Taking sachets of nasty tasting stuff in the hope it will do one!

    Congrats for all the bfps :)

    LOL Code, maybe you should change your chosen name and hope that the baby likes that one?! :p

    Thanks for the advice ladies, off to town at lunchtime to pick a test (or 2) up. On constant knicker watch today, not used to AF being late at all and really trying not to get my hopes up. Was at the point of giving up all hope forever a few days ago (since it was our 2nd wedding anniversary without a hint of a baby) so it seems strange to be feeling a touch hopeful again. :o

    I've been wondering about Vesper too, if you're there please let us know you're OK! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Big hugs TL I feel like I've been on here forever too, I haven't really but because of stopping for a while & then getting pg & having a mc here I am 20 months on from when we started ttc originally! Which just seeing that figure in writing is depressing.

    I also am 99% sure I'm out this month got spots so think AF will be here mon or tues. In November I remember thinking all I wish for is to be pg by my cousins wedding in march - a week after that I was pregnant but I guess I forgot to say 'successful' pregnancy on the wish :mad:
