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

Evening all! Can you tell that I actually had to spend today with my DP & SS so couldn't spend all day checking phone for Elderberry goss?!!

Congrats Alex - defiinitely some berry luck around today.

Welcome Pot so nice to see a brand new face. Could have sworn I've seen you somewhere before though - do you have a sister?

Hugs Barking I also do the completely irrational outbursts the day before AF starts so know how you feel. Men will never understand.

Hang in there Tally FX it's all ok in the end.

Nothing happening here. OPK still negative which is just as well given DP was in a right mood with me last night so there was no DTD for me. Reckon TTC would be a lot simpler if it didn't involve our OHs - anyone got the number for a sperm bank & a handy turkey baster?

I confused DP today by getting the giggles in Sainsbury's when i saw the Gu pots. Never going to be able to look at one in the same light ever again!!

Hi pot, and welcome newbie.

barking, arse if it really is af coming. Refusing to give up hope though. It's not like when you get pregnant you have lower levels of crazy hormones running about in there. Same to you bunny! Ahh with the cuddles.

Evening all!

Been out for lunch at my friends today, they have two girls 3 and 6, the youngest cuddled up to me it was just lush! Althought she did headbutt my very slightly sensitive boob, ouch! lol

thunder no pimping for me, AF due a week tomorrow, I suspect my emotional outbursts yesterday may be due to the impending witch!

pot welcome to the gang ! Hugs barking

Tally, it's actually the mumsnet logo...but given my new username (!) I think what you suggest might be good too.

Disclaimer: I love my 'pimping' pot only.

question. is the made of herbs? the picture seems to suggest it. maybe we are in need of some to calm us down...

Why, Cherry, thank you for noticing.

Barking, that just sucks. I too have the crazy crying over stupidly insignificant issues too, though mine is nearly always a week before AF turns up. I would say something like 'its not over yet' but when you've been TTC for a while, you begin to just 'know' what your body is up to, and it is utterly bloody miserable. at AF and or for you.

What fetching glasses and beard you have pot come on in and make yourself at home but not too comfy as you'll be instadiffed before you know it

And I think I've just given up hope for this cycle. DP just asked me to move my coat upstairs rather than hang it downstairs as it was in the way. I thought this was a ridiculously unreasonable request despite it being a massive down jacket that inflates to fill most of the hall as I had been tidying up all day yesterday no I can't work out the relevance of that either so I had to flounce upstairs before I burst into tears in front of him.
And now I'm in tears because the fact that I was going to cry about something ridiculous means AF must be on the way tomorrow. It's an undeniable sign.
I hate ttc. It started off fun and exciting but now it's bloody horrible.

Ahh, so kind of you all to welcome me into the fold!

Oo, a newbie, hello pot

I think you'll fit in splendidly .

Hello everyone - you don't know me at all and that is because I am COMPLETELY BRAND NEW! However, I have been trying for a very long time and am therefore well overdue a BFP and shall have one because I am now ensnaring the legendary 'Luck of the Elderberry'!

I said I wanted it to be an innocuous comment! For example, I am absolutely apoplectic over Barking's blatant chart favouritism a few posts back. How do you think your other charts feel when they hear you say that, eh? Heartless, that's what you are! I can't spend any more time in the (virtual) presence of such cruelty. I'm off!

Harrrrumph!

Ouch, Thunder , Cherry , and Barking ! Triple flounce! That means when I come back, I'm going to get pregnant with triplets, right?!

Boodle, I think you should just relax. I've heard you get upduffed as soon as you stop trying too hard.

though you could maybe join as a newbie on another thread to steal some of their luck? Then come back and spread it around a bit?! We might allow that ;)

boo do you want me to tell you that you smell?

Congratulations, Alex, joining Elderberries seems like it was very lucky for you (BFP within 24 hours)! I know you've been trying for a while and that you've been around on other threads that I stalk in conception so we can't hold any instadiffing against you!

It does seem that our newbies have better luck sometimes though. I'm considering taking offence at some innocuous comment so that I can flounce off the thread and then come back as a newbie and partake in a little of that luck myself.

Why thank you cherry I think it is my favourite of my charts thus far .

Wow congrats alex!

tall

Fx barking!

bunny are you testing soon?

Alex sounds amazing! Can't argue with two out of three positives!!
Were you not ovulating at all pre clomid?

Oh my goodness so much going on!!
Nothing happening here. I pointed out to DP that I didn't cry yesterday and he looked at me like I was a lunatic and told me all women were weird. I pointed out that I hadn't had the usual explosion of spots which is my other sure sign. He told me to stop getting my hopes up.
To be fair although my luteal phase is most commonly 8 days, it has been known to be as short as 6 and as long (just the once) as 10. And there's 10 days difference between my shortest and longest cycle over the last 15 months, so it's difficult to pin point exactly when I'm actually 'late'. which is bloody annoying. I'm staying realistic for now. Got two very busy days at work ahead so plenty to keep me distracted if AF doesn't show by tomorrow morning.

Congrats Alex seems like you've got early parole and won't get to be a wizened old lag like me.

it also doesn't help that I still have a headache, day 3....
