Thanks frozenpenguin, needed that. Love the painting his house one.
I am a bit of a dinosaur nut, so much so OH bought me a toy one a few weeks ago. I always wanted a cuddly toy one as a child and to see Dippy in London. So he got me a toy one and we are off to see Dippy in April! Squeee.

Yes Mother's day has been particularly hard this year for me. The fb posts have really been over the top this year and then found out another person has had a child. Went out with my mum and sister and nephew so everywhere we went there were little babies. Mademail me remember it all so much more. Thought I had started to get over this but I obviously haven't.

I know how you ladies feel, visited my mum yesterday and whilst there my dad said guess who's pregnant and proceeded to tell me that a family member was pregnant, is a few months along, can't want to find out the sex of the baby etc etc. I don't know if it was because I was feeling particularly emotional that day but it really got me down, my parent's know I'm going through the treatment so I felt it was a little insensitive of them, but really am I the one that's being insensitive because I can't be happy for someone else? I hate that I turn into this selfish person at times, really a pregnancy for anyone should be something that is celebrated, it's not their fault I can't get pregnant I suppose, it just sometimes feels like it's everyone else and never me.

I told DH how I felt but he doesn't really understand, he said I can't think that way, sometimes it's hard not to though. I had a real bad day on Saturday, definite mood swings, so much so I went for a drive and sat in an empty car park for an hour crying. Feeling OK today though, just don't like how out of control I feel with things, and DH doesn't seem to understand that I can't always help it

I love the T-Rex painting the house! That one really made me chuckle.

I have unfollowed so many people on FB there's no point me even having it! I keep deleting it from my phone and I feel better for it, but always get sucked back in. It's like poking a bruise. I'm sure I read a while back that there was also an app that turned pics of babies into pics of bacon? Although I may be making that up :rotfl:

I phoned the consultant's office to make our next appointment today so waiting on that one now to see what he makes of my HSG failure.

:grouphug::grouphug: Dodgy hugs all round today x

I feel exactly the same, Chocoholic, think everyone in this situation does and just can't help it. Just found out my lovely cousin is pregnant and I am happy for her, but the devil in me is having a right tantrum (she is younger and not been married as long, she should wait her turn!) We should just blame hormones, we can blame anything on those little gits...


Don't even start me on Mothers Day facebook messages (your child isn't even one yet, it won't be reading the lame inanely long message you have written it on facebook, stop being so twee ggrrr)

The only think I am lucky with, with my family is that no one prys into baby stuff. I only have a teenie tiny family and the youngest generation is mine, my sis who is 28 is the youngest one of us all. My cousins have got to the age now where they feel they are too old for children and as they haven't even had girlfriends yet that sadly may be true (mid-40's). My sister hasn't got a maternal bone in her body, she hates them and they don't fit in her plans.
So luckily none of my family point anything out baby wise.


Oh's tends to leave us alone, they know what's happening and respect our privacy.


Its just friends that rub it in with their million baby pictures, admitably its not their fault they don't know.


Struggling with the weight loss, infact since I started clomid the weight has blumming gone on. Not impressed. Have got 10kg now to lose before August, don't think that's possible, have to start facing facts that it's going to be another delay.
