The Elderberry Pavlovas are pimping everyday – a lovely thread for 30+ ladies TTC #1 (Thread 7)

Welcome Tart.
Damn AF for being a day early Bunny, how dare she!

11 DPO here, AF due Wednesday. No chance of a BFP though has we only dtd 4 days before ov.

Sorryfor whining again! I shouldn't moan when some of you have been trying longer or had horrid results but I can't help it

Aaaaaaagh I am so bloody fed up!!! AF arrived this morning, a day early! I am so fecked off, why won't it happen for me? What is wrong with me?

Got my reminder to give blood yesterday, I don't think I will give this time, all this good karma I put out there never comes back to me so why should I bother?!?

Rah rah rant rant rant!!!!!

There were flurries here this morning Merk but now it's just wet and dreary. I'm just a few train stops south of you. Booo! Really ready for spring.

Yesterday evening I shocked myself and told my MIL about the dildocam results. I'd mentioned a hospital appt to her on Fri and explained what it was for, and she sent me a sweet text on Saturday, so I figured why not share the good news. Had to explain multiple times that the tests weren't bc something was wrong, that it just takes more time to get preg than one would think, so I guess ours isn't the only generation that was woefully misled At any rate she was v happy, so then I had to tell my own mother. Had to explain exactly what a follicle was felt v brainy with my hours-old knowledge, and wound up saying that perhaps the fertility totem she bought from a junk shop was working already .

Felt good to open up a little about the stress, but may well regret it, if either start nagging me monthly.

Welcome Tart!! Anyone who has insomniac pets is alright by me. Mine's a v naughty doggie but I love him anyway!

Oh yes, my three will be furious if I ever actually manage to get upduffed. Their current sabotage tactic is to wake me every hour, on the hour between 3 and 6am. Oh, and to sleep in between me and partner, thus ensuring no action occurs.

Ha it's the curse of the cats again! You'll find tart that a lot of us on this thread have cat(s). We suspect they may be whispering threats to our ovaries whilst appearing to snuggle & purr. Either that or a higher power knows I'm never going to have real babies so gave me my furry ones. They were quite literally abandoned at the bottom of my garden like cabbage patch kittens.

I like gin and hate cleaning. That pretty much sums me up, my house is full of empty bottles and cat hair. I'm painting a great picture of myself here! I am an over-user of smilies, an obsessive watcher of University Challenge, a massive over-sharer and a rookie knitter. Me me me me me! Oh, and for the stattos BFP is due 6th April. Has that helped?

Tell us a bit about yourself tart ! I need something to take my mind off period pain grrrrrrrrr

Cheers! I have conducted a small survey, and the unanimous answer is Tart . The respondents may think they are clever now, but they will think again when they get gruel for dinner...

Hello book or is it tart

You pass all entrance criteria so welcome to the gang!

Hello, can I elbow my way onto the thread please? I'm 37 and have been ttc #1 since December 2011, with a CP in October. Poor sa results twice so we're off to the fertility clinic on Tuesday. If this doesn't work then at least I have my cats, right?

Morning!!!

Dreamt last night that I was giving birth very odd as I hardly ever remember my dreams, guess that's what you get for watching OBEM minute before bed!

Evening. Had a nice evening with our gay friends. One was saying that his mum still yattersn about the grandchild she will never have.... Dear god! Even gay couples get the shite.
cherry so glad to see you. I second the advice about counselling and writing things down.

ChocolateMerkin? Tee hee hee

Tee hee!

Guess who changed her name for the first time!!!

(no goo today!)

Tee her! Bunny busted you too!

Caught you!
I agree with you on the optimism. Yes there is a point in not being pessimistic but also sometimes you have to start being realistic. You don't know that it is going to happen, none of us do, we've all been there when women have got BFPs after years of trying and said that they have been sure it would never happen.
But hopefully it will.

Pretend you didn't see me here...I'm supposed to be getting ready for bed and, more specifically, some DTDing. Couldn't resist catching you out though, Merk!

Woah there, don't bend over that sofa!
