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

Not surer what you mean by car maker hill? I'm being a bit slow, but don't think that's it. (w was we, yes!).
I live about 8 miles from you......

bloody hell that post took me so long to type there was an entire conversation before I hit send!

merk please do not hold back from ranting, if other people didn't rant I wouldn't feel able to and quite often there is no-one in RL I could rant at like I can let off steam on here!!

cats your teacher sounds like a nightmare!!

I lived in north London briefly with an ex but hated it. Much happier in the North .

Merkin, I was getting worried about you, I'm glad you posted. It sounds like this has hit you really hard. Don't worry about ranting, we are here for you! You were on the verge of a really big thing happening and things have changed. It will be hard for a while, but don't let it dampen things. We will get there!! xxxxx
On the next subject, I'm in Kent so not too far...

W lived the good life for 2 and a half years! Moved further east to buy house.

Thanks cherry, just going to go along and see what he says. No idea what they might suggest. Could just be a go home and wait for af!

merk' I think you are in a posher bit than me. My trains go to Victoria.

Cats that's fantastic news about your amenorrhea referral. Do you know what the next steps are?

I'm going in on Fri to see the doc re abnormal hormone levels in bloods and don't know whether to expect meds from them or some sort of investigative stuff. I have private healthcare through work so could push for this route though like you, TTC not covered.

My acu has asked me to hang fire on herbs until June; something to do with Spring and liver meridians. I was quite happy with her explanation to hold off.

Sorry to hear everyone looks to be having a tough time - except Bunny over there all loved up! Take care folks x

K town?

I'm in a London borough that is classified as Surrey, but not a Royal borough.

Yes, yes! Oddly excited too!

I'm in Surrey too.

Crossed posts with you, merks, sorry that it looks like I have responded to you with my own rant and ignored you. I'm really sorry for what you're going through and know I would feel exactly the same way, even though I've only been ttc for 6 months or so. You must not apologise for posting this or keep it bottled up. We all understand that our situations are different, if not complementary and one berry's milestone is another's hurdle.

Try to be as kind to yourself as possible, but also let yourself feel sad. Of course you'll feel it, just as you felt the happiness at the potential bfp. Your time will come.

Talking of TAs, I count myself as a pretty good one and would of course cover for toilet emergencies, but my teacher is totally disorganised and doesn't give me any direction (he's a man, so no ttc drama), and I often feel that I'm not doing hm any favours in the long run as I just get on and do things that he doesn't do. I mark the spellings, homework, topic work taught by hlta during PPA time. The other day we had a theatre company in, I tried to get out of him several times what he wanted to do about breaks/adjusted playground duty. He didn't answer me, stayed and watched the play with the class, me and the parent helper, sent me for a quick break while he went out on duty, refused to come in when I went out to relieve him, then literally gathred his stuff and walked out of the room when the children had come back in telling them that he needed a break. The parent helper and I just gaped at each other. No prior warning or mention of what he wanted me to teach....and because I am a teacher, I just stepped in and taught. Needless to say, I'm looking for another job. Just wanted to share the madness in which I often find myself. We break up next thursday .... Can't wait.
