The Trials & Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

Thanks ladies. It was really early days and I was just telling people, everyone was v excited and saying they'd carry my shopping, drive me to work etc. No idea where that came from.
Maybe I'm not doing such a good job at hiding from the Christmas day two EDDs.

Ok, I have a completely non TTC related question but...

Didn't there used to be more Take Thats?

It's so difficult tea, especially at this time of year and with annoying people going on about how it's all about the kids. I wish I had some magic sponge that would make it better, but I'm still finding my way through it and when I'm feeling ok about it, DH is not and vice versa.

Thanks code, did some angry housework and now relaxing with snooker and knitting like the old lady I am...feeling much better. Think I have to accept that Christmas is always going to be a bit difficult now, rather than trying to pretend. Am looking forward to it though, think I just need to give myself a break when I'm having a down moment.

There are three take thats now. Four was always better than five IMO, as five is an a.rse. Four was great, but three pretty good too. Most importantly, three still contain HD's arms which give me a fluttery tummy they are so delicious

I agree with you about five take that - he inspires a level of fury in me usually reserved for David Cameron. I presume four take that was the one that did Lulu and had a big chin?

I am relaxing with crochet like another old lady. Lets make a pact, one team wonderbra to another, that we'll do our best to enjoy Christmas.

When does the payrise kick in? If it's just a week or so you could maybe consider hiring a car, then buying when you're not feeling so rushed and budget-squeezed.

Know the panic buying feeling. My car died the day before we moved house and had to go and find another one in under an hour. That was an expensive week!

Not until 1st Feb unfortunately, still on the hurt for another car for him. But there real isn't much around here. He is sorted until next Wednesday at least, but is at work all weekend so its up to me to keep researching. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to like anything I keep showing him.

Great. Pregnancy bomb from a couple who didn't even want children. I just cried on the dog.

tea_lover

Oh that sucks (((hugs))). Hope you're having some lovely doggy cuddles x.

So what are you crocheting at the mo?

The dog is giving me many cuddles.

I am mostly making scarves because erm that's all I can do. Just finished one for my mum and started one for my dad but I don't think I like the wool.

Dogs are just the best for that, one of mine presses her head into my lap or chest and just stays there for as long as I want her, in exchange for an ear rub or a chest tickle, she will also give me her paw if she thinks I'm sad (or if she's been naughty!) The other one just gives liberal kisses ALL THE TIME, regardless of how i'm feeling or what I'm doing or what she's been eating.....yuk!
Sorry CM. I think I'm getting quite immune to it now, I've got about 6 PG people on my FB atm and I just kind of zone their posts out, clicking like where appropriate to be polite but not taking a lot of notice. I think being a childminder has kind of helped that, I deal with small people pretty much every day that aren't mine and I don't think I can still see a day when I don't have to hand the child/ren back at the end of the day.

First scan tomorrow, been injecting since Tuesday. The first cycle in 12 years where I have done my own stimulation injections. I have finally made it from poorly functioning belenophobic to mixing and injecting my own. And I have to say I am mighty flipping proud of myself! I used to be that terrified that I have had nurses refuse to treat me because I was so frightened and have been known to scream and sob and shake very violently. It has been a very long hard road to be able to do it but I am so happy that I have, if nothing else comes from my sheer bloody stubbornness that one day I will have my own child than that I can have an injection (hell even give it to myself!) without shaking and sobbing in fear then at least I have made some kind of progress, right?!
Will update tomorrow x
