Trying for a Baby Part 9

purcy81

Code I think you've summed things up perfectly we all take a different path around the board but don't seem any closer to the finish. Big hugs to you it's soooooo frustrating x

Btw is anyone else peed off with the new Argos ad? Even the blummin aliens are having a baby before me!

Hugs to all

Thanks so much to everyone for making me feel better and less like a crazy woman lol.

Code - I can't tell you how perfectly that sums up the TTC journey the way I see it. I'm also going to give that to my hubby to read as he's really struggling to understand.

Purcy - I am SOOOOOOO glad you also find the Argos ad annoying too! I saw it last night for the first time and it just made me so annoyed!

Angel - I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. xxx At least she has you to talk to who will understand how upset she must be feeling. Big hugs to you both xxx

Ruth & Littleme - That was me last month armed with my ammo of conceive plus & cbfm. Lol. I had a little mishap with the conceive plus tho....got a little overexcited and 'inserted' a little too much shall we say. Didnt tell the hubby i'd used it so he got a bit of a surprise when we started BD'ing....needless to say he wasnt too impressed with how much i'd used!! oops!

Linz - Hope the engagement party/wedding planning are going well! Very exciting!

Picklekin - Hope everything went well at your appointment xx

Hope everyone else is well. xxx

What the hell tea cake!! My DH is a personal trainer too! And he's just about to embark on a running craze again. That's one thing I can't tell him not to do - like yours he works out several times a week. How can that be bad for you? Aarh!

I'm really sorry but I can't remember but does your DH have a low sperm
Count? Maybe I should get DH to get a test done.

Yep, he has a low sperm count and low motility. Basically she was very much trying to stop him from exercising for the next 3 months as that's a sperm's lifecycle so she could see if his analysis results improved. She said she'd seen loads of young, fit, drug free, healthy men with no medical reason for poor sperm results. Her hunch was exercise was causing it. He's just about to start a sport college/ uni course in September & it's his coping method so there's no way on this earth I'd let him stop. She didn't want him doing any exercise that would raise his body temperature... yoga- yes. Weights/ running- no. HTH...

Arrgh that blimmin Argos advert. I know it's meant to be funny and they're advertising a baby promotion (heh don't you wish you could just pick one up in a shop?) but all it says to me is "look. Even male aliens can have babies and you can't. Nananana! When DH saw it for the first time he said "oh no! You're going to go off on one again!'.

I saw something that looked like an alien & a scan and turned over. I can not watch anything involving scans.

The day after my d&c we got films out & one was about a woman getting pregnant & when they went for the scan it was an alien. Of all the films we could have picked..

Code that made me tear up. That is exactly how I feel. Like I've picked up the bad chance card & forced back to the start. What kind of mean game is that.

I'm imagining your game is like that board game the game of life, where you have to travel about with a car, get a job, house etc & stick blue & pink pins in to show how many babies you had. My main objective was always to collect as many pink pins as possible.

Oh this just completely sums up how i feel!!..xxx thank you code. that blummin argos advert.. i want to throw the remote at the tv everytime it comes on.

claire... the game of life also summs it up perfectly.. i always wanted a pink and then a blue pin..

Another day of a 'high' reading today on the CBFM! so fed up. i just dont know whats going on this cycle. stupid body! thats 7 days now! even my internet cheapies remain positive..

whats everyone up to tonight? After just finishing nights, im sat with a cup of tea (usually id be drinking wine... but i just didnt feel like it today... im so fed up!) OH is sat watching glastonbury live.... and just keeps reminding me how much he'd like to be there..I have the novelty of a weekend off too.. so i should be ecstatic but i just want to go to bed and feel sorry for myself!

I read a study about Boston uni students where those who did more than 14 hours of exercising a week had the best counts.

Then I read one that said running over 100miles a week was bad.

Then I found one which looked at different groups & it found no difference at all!

DH doesn't go in the steam room & sauna at work anymore I found out a couple of months ago he had been so that has stopped but yeah there is no way he could give up completely exercising. He would laugh at doing yoga he's so not into that! Lol

Mind you he was going in the sauna Etc every few days last year and I got pg..

Today he told me he tried cutting out a hole in his pants so his balls could hang out in the cold- I found them in the bin & he said yeah it didn't work, it was weird. So he had to throw them out :rotfl:

Mrs tm I got an email saying if I do a telephone questionnaire ill get another £10 so I'm doing that on Monday.

Kellekins me & my sister used to be competitive over who got the most pink ones hehe!

It's gonna be 27c on Sunday so I'm planning on sunbathing for as much of the weekend as possible & hopefully it might bring ov on!

I was fuming at the philadelphia cheese sauce advert I saw the other day. Man and woman lovingly eating cheese slop off a plate... baby starts crying and they quickly pack everything away as philly is SO convenient that new parents must have it. I have no idea what the connection is between cheese slop and babies... F you Kraft....

OH nearly walked out of Fast & Furious 6 (terrible film- I wish he had so I could've left too) within the first 3 mins as one of the characters has a baby.

Code- your description is exactly right. TTC= an incredibly depressing game of jumanji...

Angeltreats. I take inositol all cycle. If you don't mind me asking did your friend just have IVF/ICSI or did she pay for any of the extras that they offer? We're on the list for ICSI and it kills me whenever I see that it's failed for people.
