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

I know! I'm glad about that, Sidney, I'm not very confrontational! Had to actually psyche myself up to ring doctors to request copies of past blood tests today. I'm a wimp!

Yay Boodle! And you didn't even have to call and get shouty!

Ooooo, brilliant news Boodle !!!!! .
Yep, mine is the following week!!

Ooooh...I'm getting cleaner envy too, Thunder! Sorry AF has got you too, but also pleased for your returning regularity!

Merks, hope you are alright today. I have been thinking of you. If things aren't 'sticking' this month, get on here and rant/moan/wail as much as you see fit - we all need to do it from time to time, and you will certainly have justification. In other news, how is the job going? I hope it's OK.

Oooooh, Cats great news about the EWCM and positive OPK! I hope this means your cycle is sorting itself out a bit.

Barking - Appointment: 10.04.13 Pretty close to yours, no?

I am ttc, just not telling health insurance. Going to dtd later after gyn in case of examination. Hee hee! In a lot of ways, I don't care if we don't conceive this cycle, would just love it if this means that the cycle is coming to an end.

Ooh great news Cats you must be sooo pleased. Rather contrary to previously I'm really hoping that I get a neg OPK again now I've found out I'm likely to be home alone tonight.

Loving the cleaner excitement - I've been badgering DP for us to have one for a while & we have finally got one starting in April. Can't wait!

Hello everyone!

Cd1 here. No surprise even though we dtd at the right time this month since learning about thyroid, do in a way I'm feeling positive because at least I know I'm regular again after mmc. Now the mission is to get bloods sorted so I not only get a bpf, but a whole healthy pregnancy with a healthy baby at the end of it.

Sorry about OH being late, frog. I really understand your frustration- doesnt help ease the pressure either.

bunny, cycle buddies again!

Am at these cleaners. Would love to come home to a clean house!
cats sorry if this is a stupid question (i forget who's who sonetimes) but are you ttc with all those signs abound, or are you waiting til seeing gyn?

cherry, think you should defo get ref to gyn through your work insurance. Tell them you're no longer ttc as the amenorrhea is your priority. I only did that as the ttc had slipped out. Don't tell the insurer that you are. Ask your GP not to mention it on the referral as you see it as a gynea issue rather than a fertility concern. That's what I did and it worked. Yes the gyn will ask if you are ttc, as you are of an age where they might expect it. And I'm sure you can talk to them about ttc and whether they could do some tests that could be covered as gyn investigations rather than fertility. You just need to get through the door.

barking, what a great day! My cleaner came yesterday. It's wonderful to open the door and sink into the clean!

I'm a little bit taken aback at my sudden fertility signals. I had a pos opk on cd21 too, dtd but no bfp or af. Now cd94 with pos opk & ewcm. I honestly can't remember if I had ewcm last time. I was keen on ff then & haven't put it, but apparently had it a week after the opk. Odd. It's the law of sod. Ov signals as I finally get to see gyn.

Ooo cats sounds good!

Evening ladies. Had a lovely day at work today and came home to an immaculate house as we've decided to pay for a cleaner rather than constantly winge about cleaning. So once a week the whole house gets cleaned properly while I'm at work!! She's done an amazing job, I've spent ages just walking from room to room appreciating the beautiful cleaness of each room!!! And can easily afford it since I'm not having boozy nights out I need to pay for!!
And to top it all off, although it's my turn to cook, DP sent me a text saying there was a new recipe he wanted to try so he's cooking tonight!
Seeing as there's nothing to clean and nothing to cook I'm on the sofa with the dog watching OBEM
Sending everyone happy vibes and lots of s

Pos opk!!

That's pants, frog. Hoping that he gets home this evening after all.
Yes, merk, that's the place! Not too far, eh?

Much excitement - EWCM that looked like the picture in tyoyf!! First time I've spotted that since I bought the book in January. Might do an opk later too!

AAAAAAH!!!! Just had a call from DP in which he said he might be really late home from work tonight if he made it home at all & he might not even make it home tmrw. And it's shag week! And I haven't yet O'd so DTD on CD10 & CD13 which I thought was perfectly timed was probably useless. Soooo frustrating. I know it's not his fault, he can't do anything about it, it's for the greater good but right now all i can think about is how I'm doing all I can to TTC yet I'm going to be lacking the vital ingredient!! Sorry for venting on the thread when there are others with bigger problems but how am I supposed to find out if I do have bigger issues if I can't actually manage to DTD at the right time to start with?!

Commiserations on AF Bunny. She's definitely a bitch witch.

Welcome to the PIMPing club Sidney. This is my 9th day straight of searching for the elusive + OPK so am getting quite adept at it now. No one has stolen my pot yet or used it for anything else either.

Merkin don't worry about offloading your feelings; that's what the thread is for, support. You're at the lowest low point of the month; it can only get better from here, but give yourself time to accept the disappointment. It hurts. You aren't being silly by feeling crushed. Things will get better.

Bunny sorry she got you. Is crappy all around, isn't it.

CD 11 here and PIMPed for the first time last night. Used a Gu pot as all the cool kids do, but still managed to wee on myself. Will have plenty of practice though as am resigned to CBFM'ing in the morning and PIMPing at night, for as long as it takes. Haven't managed to temp yet; does owning a BBT count for anything?

A berry meet up would be cool, I often think if I ever get pg it would be nice to be-friend a few berries on the book of face! Nowhere near London, I'm from the south-west!

Sending cyber hugs that need them this morning!

TMI - Gutted this morn, a little pink cm when I wiped so I guess the witch is on her way

Had really hoped for a bunch of berries graduating this month (secretly hoped I would be included), we haven't had this for months!!!

Morning all. Hope you're feeling better merk. Pls don't feel bad about ranting at all. I'm not a teacher but do know that it is not an easy option & Cats your position sounds like a nightmare.
I'm ex London but moved to Hampshire 18m ago (and yes I know you're supposed to do that once you have the kids). Think me & DP are going to try for the Kevin McCloud method as we liked the house we went to see. Cos loads more stress is obvs what I need!
Starting to panic a bit now on the TTC front as I'm on CD16 today, FF predicted O as any one of the last 3 days & still no positive OPK or temp rise. I'm beginning to think I may be in the short LP gang as my cycles aren't that long or that maybe I don't ovulate every month. No EWCM either tho I know I have had it in the past.

I'm still not completely convinced its AF Merk, still, you've seen the evidence.

I'm in Suffolk, not nearly as posh as Surrey.
7 DPO here and nothing so far. Such a bad cough though that I'm sure anything in there couldn't hold on even if it was there.

barking yes, my teacher is a bit lacking. Last week while teaching 3D and 2 D shapes, he completely muddled up sides, edges and faces. Repeatedly and not even consistently! Ffs.
merks, not there....bit north-west of where your ex came from.

Still stumped on the hills. There's no hill in the name of the place where I live, so could you put me out of my misery and tell me where you were thinking of?
