Sorry auntie & ads....Since red just had a BFP I'm thinking there might be a little break in between the next one!

Seven days till AF is due to arrive...a 34 day cycle really makes things drag....I'm a little worried because when I start AF my cyst almost cripples me to the point I can barely walk..it just keeps getting worse with time.Im almost afraid to take the Clomid this month..but I know I will.Its weird but I'm looking forward to meeting with my RE and maybe figuring something else out..I'm also hoping DH sperm count is ok(he does a lot of dirty things so I don't know)I know he won't go in for the consult because he likes his coffee,He drinks once or twice a week,he picked up nasty cigarettes again..I just don't know,kinda feeling like I might throw in the towel and be happy enough with my two girls.I so want one more child,seems my husband is willing to give it to me but if he had to give up any of the things he likes..it's a no go.He did those things with the other two..but we are almost a decade older now.Well,I guess if its meant to be it will happen.Seems like my expectations are low at this point...

Oh I'm so sorry auntie, it really sucks doesn't it :(

auntiemoo · 13/05/2013 08:32

Don't know why I'm surprised. It's been 7 years and 10 months. Why should this month have been any different :(

auntiemoo · 13/05/2013 07:51

As predicted AF arrived in full force around 4.30am........sighhhhhhhhh.

Back to the grindstone so to speak

twinklestar2 · 12/05/2013 23:51

:( ads

Any news, auntie?

Thingymajigs · 12/05/2013 18:30

so sorry ads. Sad Its always worse when it drags out giving you a bit of hope and then its taken away. I got away lightly this month as AF started early.
Good luck auntie. Hope it stays away.

Adsum · 12/05/2013 13:36

Thanks auntie - glad its not just me! Good luck for the next 24h!! Fx she says away...!

auntiemoo · 12/05/2013 12:46

Sorry ads :(

Clear blue packaging all looks the same it's a nightmare. I have done the same thing in the past too. £11 for two basic tests is ridiculous!!! When you think you can get a two for a quid from the pound shop that do the same thing even if it is without plastic casing. I'm sure none of us care about plastic casing. It's the two lines we are looking for. Shop assistants should wear masks when selling anything clear blue tis daylight robbery. I was disgusted when I bought the monitor and it didn't even come with a months worth of sticks to pee on. I got mine on eBay (new) so didn't pay as much as you would in boots etc but for circa £100 you should get a pack of the £25 sticks at least! Anyway rant over lol

AF due today. No show yet but is usually evening so not holding my breath. Also cycle has been anything from 26-28 days recently and today is day 27 so it could be tomorrow or the days after anyway. No signs that she isn't coming though everything has just been as it normally is every month. Resisting temptation to poas and trying to just wait and see. It ain't easy lol it's taking all my willpower so the diet is out the window for now and chocolate for lunch it is haha ;)

Fx firmly for all still :)

Adsum · 12/05/2013 11:50

Bfn

And for the record I absolutely HATE clear blue - I wanted the digis but have just accidentally picked up the other ones for 11£ for two tests!! F**king rip off! Their packaging is too similar - I have done a slightly similar thing before with their stuff! AngryAngryAngry

twinklestar2 · 12/05/2013 10:33

Good luck Ads!

Thingy - oh said last night he couldn't wait to go back to having normal sex!

Adsum · 12/05/2013 09:03

Wow kerry you must all feel its such a lucky escape for you, and thank goodness the girls are out now - hopefully they will get a lot of psychological help now as they must be having a really confusing and scary time...

thingy - definitely you shouldn't have to put up with that insensitive crap from your GP in this day and age!!

Afm, I am waiting for the shops to open so I can buy a s to p on! There's no point as I can feel af coming but am still spotting on and off so before I decide I must be dying from something I should just double check!! Wink

Thingymajigs · 12/05/2013 07:31

I know what you mean winkle, I'll end up being a neurotic lentil weaver scared of consuming non-organic hummous before long. I'm also giving up alcohol. Only drank once or twice a month anyway but if it could help I'll try it. DP doesn't drink anyway.
I thought that might be the case res, this must be such a tough couple of weeks for you.
How are you doing kerry and ads?

twinklestar2 · 11/05/2013 22:07

Good luck res and ads!! Sounds promising x

Adsum · 11/05/2013 17:49

Oh I just have no idea what is going on!! Still lots of brown spotting and no actual af! Haven't tested since weds/thurs but I keep getting the usual pains so think she's just deciding to be a day or two late cos I've been away across several time zones etc - but otherwise no symptoms like the pg swollen sore boobs or sleepiness (usually my first symptom) so can't be arsed to waste money on more tests at the mo tbh! Smile

Massive good luck to res and all on the 2ww Grin

resipsa · 11/05/2013 14:31

Winkle good luck with DTD this month.

Thingy - God, that GP sounds like he would benefit from some reflective learning (as they call it) about how to treat women in our position.

Kerry to be so close but thankfully now far from such a weirdo makes you feel odd, doesn't it? What life throws at each of us is a lottery.

resipsa · 11/05/2013 14:27

What's going on with you, Ads? Is it a red scenario all over again???

resipsa · 11/05/2013 14:25

Hi everyone. How're you doing? Sorry for going AWOL but am convinced on a daily basis that it hasn't worked so just trying not to think about it. That's not working, by the way!

I'm at 7 days post 2 day transfer so (I think) like 9DPO. Just cannot test as to see a BFN will be too hard so going to wait it out to my official test date (20 May) and see if AF arrives in between. Think progesterone pessaries might keep her at bay so could be that I have to see a BFN in the long run but am sure I'd "know" by then anyway.

twinklestar2 · 11/05/2013 09:41

Only thing is thingy, we'll be too scared to go back to 'normal' food after this! And normal life. What is normal life anymore? I just remember the TTC life now. My OH says he's actually scared of drinking now! I have to confess I had a couple of vodkas last night but they were with organic juice so that's ok, right Grin

Thingymajigs · 11/05/2013 09:19

Aww what a lovely friend. I hope all that hard work pays off for you. I've also gone organic as of a month ago. Pricey but worth it for the peace of mind.

twinklestar2 · 10/05/2013 23:15

Well my dilemma of whether to use conceive plus has been solved for me! My lovely friend who was ttc last year sent me a parcel full of ttc goodies. There's a box of OV tests, 20 sticks for the CBFM, 6 pregnancy tests (including 4 digis :)) and a big tube of Preseed! How nice of her!

So I'll be using the CBFM, grapefruit juice and the Preseed. Add this to oh not drinking, us eating organic food and going to the gym and surely this has to be the month!

twinklestar2 · 10/05/2013 21:31

CUNT!

Sorry but he deserves that word to be used on him and death penalty is too good for him.

KerryJewels · 10/05/2013 21:29

O and my dad used to live in that house...2207 Seymore.Of course long before Ariel Castro bought it..creepy!!!

My sister had drinks with him at a Spanish club..she worked at the same diner as me..it's called Dimitris.I told her how lucky she was to not be locked in his basement too...she is 7 years younger than me.The whole thing is just sickening..but how he went to the candle light vigils and fundraisers,how he consoled the family while all the while he had her..that's the part that gets me the most!!He might be brought up on murder charges for the babies he made them abort...then he will be eligible for the death penalty.He says it was their fault for getting into his car....
