TTC #1 Thread 15. Don't. Trust. The. Boobs. ( . )( . )

We are thinking of pulling out i am an eu citizen dh is international both in high skilled jobs
Tbh i feel very unwelcome at the moment and think that buying a house would not be the best move
Turned down a job internationally because i thought uk is a nice country to live and settle in i really didnt think leave would win
In complete shock now all our plans have changed ovenight
We have just send our signed contracrs to solicitors yesterday thats how sure i was

Crikey, we're out then. Not looking forward to what happens to the economy.

And Cameron going to step down

What happened nicky?

Yes, rather unprofessional is the word. Plus totally incompetent.

And now we've woken up to this shit storm this morning. Totally shocked, saddened, angry.

Well ttc stress in not enough now this happened ! Had our exchange of contracts in new house to look forward too ! Well no more

Your manager sounds rather unprofessional marmite. Well done for holding your own.

Day 8 today and back on the DTD now hubby is home. I've got to say, I don't half enjoy the closeness with having all this extra sex.

I really feel like I might be in it for the long haul ttc but there's almost a calm in accepting that. Still can't stop the voice in my head hoping it happens this month though

Fanks snarky! I took walnuts with me to work, but have just realised I forgot to take them out of my bag...

Glad you had your meeting marmite. Hopefully having it talked through will give you some closure. I know it is not great that they cried and so on - sounds like they are in the wrong job!

We just had a meeting at work - we have known for a while that a major acquisition is on the cards which will mean a mahoosive restructure.
I am really hoping I can get a job that requires less travel... But we shall see. At least it looks like we will know the new structure in July/August. I had best get my CV in order! And my new boss said it is okay that I take my holiday. I have not booked anything though as it will depend on next AF and IVF.

Yeah... He probably thinks I'm a right bitch...
2 weeks holiday after tomorrow though, thank gawd!!

marmite Well done in the meeting, it sounds like you held it all together and it's great that you got the recognition of your managers behavior. So unprofessional!

My god, your manager cried? Wowzer! At least you got your point across, and if they wanted external you didn't do anything wrong so it's them who need to buck up!!

Sorry kav

My meeting lasted well over an hour... And resulted in my manager crying. Twice. He's been having a really hard time...he'd been in a mess all weekend...he's struggling with the new structure... Etc etc bla bla bla. Not my fucking problem. You get paid for that!! He agreed he'd been really unprofessional the last week or so and apologised for that. But it's not really made me feel any better as from what he said the whole recruitment process was really fucking dodgy and he said that actually his boss had wanted an external candidate all along so I never had a chance. Don't know why I was asked to apply then... Just feel really hacked off and like I want to leave but can't really. Sigh. At least I didn't cry though. Just a bit of a lip wobble on a few occasions. And I said everything I wanted to say, which I was quite proud of. Just frustrating that nothing positive has really come out of it so don't really feel that much better for it.

Sorry Kav I had everything crossed for you. Why do bodies decide to go weird when we least want them to?

All I want is a regular cycle so I know when I've actually ovulated if at all
Kwick I'll be joining you in the weird diet. Anything to feel like I'm doing something!

Moose clubbersize sounds amazing. Glowsticks and exercising in the dark definitely makes it more attractive to me.

Morning all, and a glorious one it is too

I'm so sorry Kav I really thought this was your month. AF is a bitch but don't you let her get you down.

Moose I think an hour of clubbercise would offset approx 7 digestive biscuits!!

Morning ladies

Just been plodding along trying to take a relaxed approach, time will tell how it goes. Been trying to focus more on being healthy and getting more active. Invested in a new fitbit and have been pounding the pavements and generally looking like a bit of a sweaty mess. Better be worth it!

kav hopefully these tests bring you some answers.

moose clubbercise sounds great. I like the dark bit, less of the public hot sweaty mess. I may have also ate some digestives on Tuesday night after exercising oh well, good intentions and all that...

marmite how did your work chat with the rubbish boss go? Hopefully productive.

kwick OH has been walnut munching for months now, maybe I should join in?

I'm also a remain girl. Too much too loose, and the thought of leaving the tories to have free reign on or rights and liberties makes me shudder! snarky let's hope farage and Co are finally banished for good!!

lovely I know, right?! We just need to make sure the garden is secured, then we'll start looking for a good breeder 🐶

marmite I'm really glad. Enjoy your holiday, fx for a tiny stowaway. How did your meeting go in the end?

kwick I'm gonna join you with those walnuts. I thought I knew that ttc was hard before I started, but only in an abstract way, and I don't think I ever really thought that I would be one of those who would struggle. I have a mad history of mc in the family, so that was the thing that has always terrified me, never thought I would struggle so hard just to get pregnant, can't even think about that at the moment. i know its not much chance of a comfort, but remember you're not alone.

Kat just cast my vote, definitely a Remain girl, really hoping we get to see that smug leer wiped off Farage's toady face.

Haha moose!

Sorry kavan maybe next month try the pineapple thing and cayenne pepper think for days after ovulation and DTD?

Sorry kav I've put that down for July. Hope it's better news next month xx

Sorry kav she really is a mean and spiteful witch...

sorry kav

Screw AF. She just showed up in full glory, dammit. Had about an hour of cramps beforehand and then BAM. Maybe the spotting I had was an implantation bleed and I just couldn't hold it ... the month before I could have sworn I was pregnant, but my luteal phase is so short.

Oh well. Better rearrange my blood test now I know today is cycle day 1. Put me down for the 18th July, Jem?

kwick before I left for the class I ate about half a packet of digestives (for energy obviously - not greed) probably cancelled out any good the class did!! Ha ha

Clubbercise sounds ace moose she says as she demolishes 2 mini pork pies

marmite hope you managed to get things sorted!!

hep I believe TTC brain exists - we're all so distracted with our bodies, no time for anything else!

Has anyone here been to Clubbercise? I went last night and it was really fun - and bloody hard work I am pretty unfit and I was destroyed! It's like a school disco with 90's dance music but you do aerobic type routines and even have glow sticks - it's in the dark so no one can see how rubbish you are! I liked that best!! Ha ha Still felt good to be doing something and as DP said exercise helps the egg!!! Lol

marmite I hope your meeting went well

modest

Sounds like you are making progress kavan

hep I think you are anxious for time to pass fast. Sorry about bfn ... I wish our bodies would behave.

I have been at this TTC malarkey for more than a year now. Who knew back then it would be so fricking hard??? I know all these trials and tribulations will fade off the minute I actually have a baby but it sure is hard now.
I had better restart eating the fertility boosting foods in earnest... Walnuts here I come!

Modest I hope you're alright. Have a good wallow. Emerge when you are ready and dust yourself off. Ttc is an emotional battering.

Sorry it was bfn kav. Progress with the docs sounds really promising.

Hep haha you need to reset your body clock
