TTC after a Miscarriage - Let This Be Our Lucky Thread!!!

ARRRRRRRR!!! LOL!!LOL!!LOL!!LOL!!!

This is Brill. well i think so anyway
No sex tonight?

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so
much.
And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing.
I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their
heart.

FOR EXAMPLE
One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.
Well, the passion starts to heat up,
and she eventually says "I don't feel like it,I just want you to hold me."
I said "WHAT????!!! What was that?!"
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...
"You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me
to satisfy your physical needs as a man."
She responded to my puzzled look by saying,
"Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the
bedroom?"
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with
her.
We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed
department store.
I walked around with her while she tried on several different very
expensive outfits.
She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'll just buy them
all.
She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes,
so I said lets get a pair for each outfit.
We went onto the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of
diamond earrings.
Let me tell you...she was so excited.
She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck.
I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis
bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.
I think I threw her for a loop when I said,
"That's fine, honey."
She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement.
Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said,
"I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier.
" I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out,
"No honey, I don't feel like it."

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled
"WHAT???!!!"
I then said, "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while.
You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to
satisfy your shopping needs as a woman."
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added,
"Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.

Where are you now HK?

We used to live near Chase Farm Hosp.
No idea why it typed twice. Weirdo computer.

Hear hear Ch. I agree, I'd rather be a few pounds heavier than too skinny.
Wills- Small world ot what! Ds1's grandparents live in Potters Bar and we used to live in Enfield.
Diddle- I was excatly the same. If I get down or bored I eat. If I let myself, I would be absolutely massive. I could eat for England! Anytime I'm feeling crappy I always turn to three things. Choc, crisps and ice cream!

HK - Deffo a small world. DH has family in Enfield too. Couple of aunties I think

Nuff talk of weight now - we are all healthy and happy thats the main thing (although being PG would make us happier!!) Talking of weight makes me depressed and feeling depressed leads me to the fridge....

I usually do get ov pains and had a couple of jabs this morning. Defo egg white not cloudy. bugger bugger bugger. Should get dh to fedex me so I can try the turkey baster method a la Brookside.

My stats - 5'6" and 10 stone. Well I was 10 last time I looked but daren't go on scales any more. Was 8 and a half stone when got married 5 years ago. I carry most of it on my bum and legs so as long as I'm wearing trousers it's ok and my cellulite can stay hidden.

Wills - if I even mention mumsnet to my dh he starts to look at me with concern as if I'm telling him I'm a part of some weird cult.

What are the steroids for Wills - sorry don't answer that if you don't want to. I'm too nosey for my own good...

My DH nan lived near Potters Bar - Hatfield. Unfortunately she isn't with us any long, but used to visit her regularly.

Oh, at the end of the day, what you weigh isn't that important. As long as you aren't morbinly obese, and you are healthy, then thats what matters. I've learnt that the hard way... I have Crohn's disease and after my last flare up, I went down to 7 1/2 stone. Even with my small frame that was too skinny. I looked so ill and frail. I would rather be a bit "tubby" but be healthy. Besies my consultant gets a strop on if I loose toomuch weight coz if I flare up again I won't have any to lose (If that makes sense). I went for a check up about 2 weeks after I had DS3, they weighed me and I was about 12 stone. Went again 6 months later and got a huge telling off coz I'd lost 2 stone! I had just had a baby and I was breastfeeding - big deal!!!!

Gotta go for a while back later

Stats:

5'3 and 3/4 (sorry but that 3/4 is vital!)
Weight 10 stone 2. Am on steriods at the moment and have put on 8 pounds in the last 2 months so am feeling seriously lardy already. Mind you normally the weight goes on my bum and top of my legs so is it just me that I have a particularly round belly already. I have a belly that looks distinctly 4 months gone (I wish!).

Oh someone asked where I live. South Hertfordshire. Goffs Oak near Potters Bar.

By the way Lottie - laughed at the joke!

Good luck with HC for the weekend.

You ladies manage to get near a computer blooming early! Not fair not fair (just jealous). To make matters worse am seriously now considering buying a new computer as I now have to fight for it in the evenings dd1, dd2 and NOW my dh has discovered the joys of the internet. When I am on it dd1 will be throwing a full blown strop. Dh will mutter under his breath words like "setting up a new company" "very important work/research" "mumsnet hardly comparible" grrrr. It ends up with me only able to get on in the evening. Blooming frustrating.

SANDS - that's the word I've been trying to remember SLINKs - have you contacted SANDS??? I have a close friend (also a mumsnetter) and I know she would highly recommend SANDS. They are supposed to incredibly supportive.

I'd say so Wish. CM is usually a good sign. Do you ever get OV pain?

Morning all! Hey does this sound like ov to you ... got the lovely cm and found myself daydreaming on the way to work about going dancing and flirting with gorgeous hot sweaty men. But DH not back till tomorrow night and I'm only on cd9. Going to use first ever ov test later.

Ch- Just read what you'd written about what he'll say. Dp and I said near enough the same lol.

Hc- Whewww I'm relieved now. Bless him he'll do it when he's ready. Like walking. he waited until 13 mths and was steady. Now he runs full pelt everywhere!
Yay, be great if everyone got pg on the next one!!!! Hope af's not on her way to you Hc, she's a nasty one!

Maddy- That's great he knows colours! I think I'd be worried if he made no sounds at all. (always babbling away to himself, toys etc).
Good thing is he understands what we're saying, just has typical selective hearing when it comes to No.

HellKat-DD is 26 months now and has only just started stringing 2 words together-I'm not worried about it. At 18 months I don't think there was anything recognisable coming out.

I hope we never meet up!! On lookers might think its a midget convention!!!! LOL!!!!!!

I think you are ding everything right. He will talk when he's ready. One day he'll get up and say " good morning Mater! How are you thos very fine morning? What may I ask is for petit dejeune??" (french spelling not so good!)
