Halfway through my TWW and looking for company. Anyone in the same boat?

I need your man muck tonight

I think I may need a new keyboard after I sprayed my tea all over it! That's so funny! My DP goes for the classy *Do you need my swimmers tonight?"

Don't think a code word would work very well here either, I've always found being subtle is wasted on my DP!

I think my DP would be leading the strike action, cheeky bugger said he was looking forward to night shift to get some rest! He's joking (I hope!)

Birth announcements are always hard when ttc, I like my sil and I'm happy for her, she's doesn't know we are trying but I can't pretend it doesn't hurt a tiny bit. It's hard to comfort someone who's devastated over something I may not have.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that Haquoi

Sorry Iv been quiet, been so tired!

Hope everyone is well :) fertile week although ovulation sticks are looking hopeful... DTD just in case

It's so bloody hard when you hear announcements and I am always dreading hearing someone else is pregnant yet again when I'm not. A friend of mine had a baby a couple of months ago and now they're ttc again - it'll prob happen straightaway and I'm not sure how I'll cope as I was bitter that I was ttc when she was pregnant with the one she's just had never mind another one on the way!
, I'm glad we can cheer each other up about wearing out our dh/dp brown and haquoi!! So it'll be strike action all round then?!! Am loving the idea of a nice code word but I'm afraid we're just as romantic in this house - I get 'do you need fertilising tonight?'!! Who said romance was dead?!

Best of luck for tomorrow remember

Oh I'm the Queen of bitter, I'm not sure anyone could out bitter me, so you're ok browneyed! I feel for you though, its hard when that happens. A younger friend of my sister's announced that she was pg (accident) a few days after DS died and then had a little boy. I'd like to move on and be ok with it, but I find it really hard. As in, I haven't and I'm not... :s luckily she doesn't live nearby. I hope you're alright.

I know what you mean, diamond about wearing DH out. I feel like apologising every time: ' 'scuse me love, but we need to have sex tonight! I think I might be fertile.' We chatted about it today - I said we needed to find a nice code word that made it seem like we were dtd for love, not purpose. He disagreed: 'No, you need to be very clear. You should say something like,' it's time, I need your man muck tonight!' '

You guys cheer me up btw, thank you :)

Thanks Haquoi it's just very hard, my sister in law has just announced she is pregnant and it's a complete accident and not what she needs right now. trying hard not to be bitter

Diamond I suppose I'm not out just yet but I don't have any hope now. Your post about dtd did make me laugh though! I think my DP was going to take strike action after this monh!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

browneyed - sorry to hear about bfn - maybe you just tested early? You're not out yet til af arrives!
finding - sorry the witch af arrived, it really is horrible, especially early like that. That happened to me last month and it really knocked me.
remember - good luck at gp tomorrow - what kind of tests have you had?
haquoi - how are you feeling now? Are you going to dtd tonight?
I'm worried I might wear dh out , we've dtd the last 3 nights in a row and I've not yet got a peak fertility on the opk yet so I'm hoping it will be tomorrow otherwise he might go on strike!!

Speaking from experience, I know it's hard to keep positive, but trying for up to a year is normal. Trust me, it feels like it will never happen, but know that it is normal. Now I just need to practice what I preach...

It must be I figure, I mean my cycle can range from 27-30days. According to my fertility app it was due on the 25th? But I've always known I would have trouble conceiving due to an eating disorder so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised sadly.

Sorry to hear that browneyed, that sucks. Do you think AF is still coming along?

Well I tested and my result was bfn. Guess AF is AWOL! My cycles can be irregular but it's usually early never late!

Aww Finding that's rubbish. Hope to feel better with lots of rest.

Thanks Haquoi! Still convinced AF is on her way and I'm having to go to the toilet to check Work has never went more slowly....

finding that sounds awful! What's your temperature? Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks diamond & brown. Today's another off day but I've got a break in the middle (self employed musician) so am taking some time out. Got to snap back for lessons later on today though. Blurgh.

Let us know how it goes brown!

Haquoi - sorry to hear that you're not feeling great. It's totally understandable though.

Update for me is that AF arrived yesterday - 5 days early for the first time in my life. I'm also laid up in bed as I've had stomach cramps, fever and sore boobs for a few days now. The fever and joint pain is pretty bad today and both sides of my mouth have cracked. In short, I'm looking pretty damn attractive...

Sorry ladies I haven't tested yet! Started work very early this morning so no chemist open, going to buy a test on the way home.

Think AF might be on her way as have slight twinges/cramps that feel like an impending period! Never been 4 days late so will have to buy a test.

How are you feeling Haquoi? Will let you know test result later on if AF hasn't reared her ugly head by then!

Hi haquoi - I'm not surprised you were feeling down with all you've gone through. I think you show great strength and feeling down one day is natural. Today is another day, you may not have missed it, maybe dtd today if you feel a bit better? Xx
We're cycle buddies - I thought af/bfp was due 11th but according to my ovulation tests I still haven't ovulated yet so my date will be 16th probably - think that is the same as yours?
Yes how did you get on brown?

How'd it go brown?

I got really down yesterday and didn't want to dtd. I think this is the crux point though, so I may have missed it. I just feel like giving up (in the middle of the stupid cycle!)

I will, I'm still holding off on waiting till tomorrow, although I do walk past a boots on the way home! Never had no symptoms before!

Diamonds - AF due on about 2nd.

I'm ok about the bfn though - feeling optimistic for next month and the clomid.

Let us know how you get on Browneyed.

Sorry to hear that finding, might it just be too early? When is af due?
browneyed - I would be very tempted if I was you! I've done that lots at work - fingers crossed for your bfp!! Let us know

Sorry you got a bfn Finding. Keeping my fingers crossed for next month for you!

Thanks Finding! I am trying to wait till tomorrow Diamond, slightly tempted to go and test on my lunch break. Keep thinking I can't be as I've had very little symptoms!

I gave in and tested this morning - BFN.

I guess there's always next month when I start taking the clomid.

Hi browneyed! Sounds very promising! Fingers crossed for you. Are you still waiting til tomorrow?
remember - that's disappointing, I was really hoping for you. Let us know how you get on at GP, I'm thinking I may have to go to GP too but to be honest I'm scared to find out if there's something wrong.
Also totally confused with another negative opk today - it's looking like my body can't even be bothered to ovulate now

Morning ladies, well I tested this am and it was a bfn. Think I knew it was going to be though so not too disappointed as had convinced myself it was AF over the weekend!!

Off to see GP on Thursday afternoon to discuss blood results and plans going forward. Can't say I'm not disappointed not to be asking for a midwife referral but lets see what he recommends!!
