What on earth are you saying about me Kinky!?! I'm perfectly well-behaved, me Wink

Mmmmmm....danish pastries! :)

I think you should be the kinky one desperate Grin. I think you know your situation best of all, and if you need to feel better then that is the sensible thing to do. I just hope you see an improvement soon. TTC is so stressful and throws such huge downers each month.

Speaking of which, still a big fat BFN, still no AF. I don't think, for me, that it might show up BFP in a couple of days. In the past, a BFP has always been there on the first day of missed AF. So, my body is being a pain in the arse. It is punishing me for all the danish pastries I ate last month Grin.

Well ladies, I decided (in what is perhaps one of the more sane decisions I've made recently) to actually take notice of my psych. I know in my heart that he's right. There's little point in me trying to look after a DC if I can't really look after myself. And, given that DP and I don't currently live together (Mr and Mrs Skint from Skintsville), I would be the one holding the baby, quite literally. So, it's back on the contraceptive pill for a few months. I'm actually OK with it now. I DO think he's right. Can't do condoms (not with my long-term partner) simply because they kill all feeling for both of us and make sex a bit pointless really.

And also as Mr Desperate and I have been having a few relationship issues recently it may give us a chance to get our relationship back on solid ground again.

Doggy style bent over the front of a Mondeo can be interesting Kinky...especially if it's a hot day - ouch! Bwahahahahaha! Not that I've done anything like that, you understand... :o Blush

If nobody minds, I'd like to carry on hanging out here while I'm waiting to get back on the buses...

KinkyDorito · 24/08/2011 22:25

desperate that's really shit. Surely having to hold off ttc when you feel the pressure of time will not be helpful to your mental well-being? Second opinion? However, if you are feeling really unwell then maybe he wants you to ease off... it could all be a ploy to make you more relaxed, hence more likely to conceive Grin.

I told DH there was a trend starting for doggy style, possibly outdoors. I said, do you wonder who might have started that. He called me a 'Filth Pig'. So true. Enjoy ladies, enjoy Grin.

Jemimapuddleduk · 24/08/2011 21:03

Mmm that's a tricky one desperate, think I would find it hard to take that advice, 3 months feels like the end of the world when you are desperately ttc. Good on you with the quitting cigs mission. Me and dh quitted about 2 years ago but we are still inclined to relapse when getting particularly pissed off with this whole ttc and mc business. Never tried patches, cold turkey, is v hard. Enjoy your chocolate x

desperateoldie67 · 24/08/2011 16:34

Enjoy getting your nails done mama...a bit of pampering is always good :)

desperateoldie67 · 24/08/2011 16:33

I have to see him every week for at least the next month, but he said that I should be stable (i.e. not up and down like the proverbial yo-yo) in the next three months, which I suppose is a plus. But then I feel very disinclined to use any form of contraception between now and then because, let's face it, I've not been using any since January and I'm not preggers yet...

But then if I do get pregnant, he's going to have the arse with me, and he's a very nice doctor otherwise.

I'm going to eat chocolate tonight, and possibly get a bottle of wine...but then I'll want to smoke if I do that, and I'm quitting at the moment and have a very un-sticky patch on my arm currently!

Bugger...just the chocolate it is then. And possibly ignore my psych! Blush

BAAAAAAD desperate :o

Jemimapuddleduk · 24/08/2011 16:26

FFS, how infuriating desperate. When do you go back and get re assessed? What do you plan to do (apart from eat choc by the bucket load?). Very annoyed for you.

desperateoldie67 · 24/08/2011 16:02

Time for a me me me whinge and a moan. Just went to see my psychiatrist and he wants me to hold off ttc until my mental state is more stable! Pah! I know he's probably right, and although I feel okayish at the minute, pregnancy hormones would probably send me off the deep end while I'm not medicated, so I understand that he wants me to get back on my meds properly...but (puts on 6 year old voice) "I don't wanna wait!". I did mention that, given my age, waiting was probably just pushing my luck still further...

Somebody pass me some chocolate, I feel like I could eat my bodyweight at the minute :(

Try on Amazon mrsmellow. I'm sure they'll do it on Amazon.com if you can't order from the UK one.

Go for it (on the outdoor sex front)...it's fun - just don't let a policeman catch you! They tend to frown on that sort of thing! :o

I'm overseas so preseed is proving difficult to source annoyingly, but will keep trying.

Jemimapuddleduk · 24/08/2011 12:43

My I phone keeps doing if rather than of! Sorry for terrible spelling!

Jemimapuddleduk · 24/08/2011 12:41

Haha, thank you desperate. Hoping this is a lucky month for all if us! Love the filth that has been going on already, making me chuckle!

desperateoldie67 · 24/08/2011 12:37

Welcome Jemima...join the crazy bus :)

Jemimapuddleduk · 24/08/2011 12:35

Jeeps forgot to add I am 32 and currently on day 5. Thats all from me.

Jemimapuddleduk · 24/08/2011 12:31

Ps interesting fact about me, I also have a tilted womb/retrograde cervix. I am currently training our new puppy x

Jemimapuddleduk · 24/08/2011 12:30

Hello, can I join too please! I havn't done the bus business before so here go's.
I am ttc number one, we have been ttc for 18 months and I have had 2 mcs this year (february and April). Have given ourselves till November before getting extra help. Will be second month of using pre seed and first month if using clear blue fertilty monitor!
Have fingers and toes crossed for everyone. X

Sn0wGoose · 24/08/2011 12:21

Got a blood test scheduled for Friday, think I'm anaemic (well DH does, he's a nurse so he knows best - or so he says!). Will probably take yonks to get the results though!

desperateoldie67 · 24/08/2011 12:11

Yikes...pressure! I'm afraid slapping you isn't going to help my little buzzy one, well it hasn't helped me! :o

OP posts:
trilottie · 24/08/2011 12:10

my deadline is November; when we agreed to ttc I airily said 'oh, hopefully I'll be on maternity leave in time for the olympics' so now I have a deadline and its coming round quite quickly Confused

grinningbee · 24/08/2011 12:04

I tested yesterday on a very cheapie test and got a bfn. Of course, this won't stop me checking again tomorrow if nothing has happened.

Someone slap me and stop me getting too obsessed too quickly Grin I'm on a deadline too. We decided that if nothing has happened by this time next year, that'll be us done. No pressure then!

MyGoldenNotebook · 24/08/2011 11:20

Good morning ladies,

Welcome fellow June Mummies. desperate my preseed is winging its way to me via amazon as we speak!

grinningbee my AF was 8 days late las month. V rude. It's an odd feeling isn't it ... and very frustrating when you're sure you're not pregnant.
