Hut of Gl/Doom, part IV - FTC, because that's what we do....

Apologies sideways was laughing at sorehearts comments. V.difficult sometimes to send my messages off quickly with nosey colleagues trying to have a look.

What is cm?

Yes pregnant women are evil, they should be made to wear sack cloth and hide in boxes so we are not inflicted with their glowiness.
"Superspunk" - God, what kind of totally stupid nickname is that??? What a tosser!
yes the Blavod and swim helped, deffo recommend. I figured that was what the hut was missing, a Pool of Self Pity, with a Jacuzzi of Jealousy to massage away those feelings of envy. How about a Sauna of Sulks and a Steam Room of Stagnation too
I had big wodge of EWCM on CD 10, bit annoying since period didn't completely finish until CD8 . Dunno what that means either! My last cycle was 30 days long, and previous to the m/c I was dead on 28 every month.

Am I allowed to laugh very loudly in the hut of gl/doom? Don't mean to disturb the ambience.

I bet he'll turned up sticking his chest out like a fat rabid pigeon. DH has stated he'd prefer to spend the day with MIL.

Hello fellow gloomsters.

On CD11 here of a 25/26 day cycle. Not quite sure what is going on. Been doing the deed at the appropriate times before ov - have to start straight after period as ov on 10/11, but only today have I spotted cm.

It normally stops now, so why is it just starting?

And sympathy to everyone with millions of pregnant friends (myself invluded).

You are right, again, of course, Bbabymumma. People do lie really rather a lot, don't they? I'd never thought about this and TTC but I bet you are sooooo right. Hmmmmmmmmm, puts a whole new perspective on all these spontaneous pregnancies!

You are right of course, Bbabymumma. I will do that. Ta.
If this bloke turns up on Good Friday and even looks likes he's going to talk about his new nickname, feel free to ram the nearest blunt instrument somewhere into his soft tissue, ahem. Ug, it's making me mad, already. . I definitely could not deal with this - esp. in my own home. Sometimes, I do wonder if my sense of humour has gone out without me. I could be laughing at him, if I thought about it.

Didn't offend me. I think you're right. Alot of people probably just say that. Makes me feel better thinking that anyway.

Ambi, if it ever works for us, dh wants me to tell everyone it was first time of trying, just cos he wants a pat on the back and to be able to strut around looking ultra manly. I'm sure lots of women do a bit of that too - not the looking manly part, though.

Glad you replied- starting to panic that I shouldn't have put that, in case of pissing anyone off!

I was thinking that the other day - maybe they are all lying. I haven't told anyone except MN that we are ttc so they may presume when it happens - {it will won't it?? - chokes a little on the chocolate mousse} that it happened automatically.

Ambi I will do the same as you so my dh can make superspunk feel bad - cos now I know he's secretly lying.

I'm going mad and making things up now. On cd 4 so not much to do or think about at mo.

Maybe that's what the "accidentally pg" friends of yours have also done, to bask in envy and smugness, especially if they know you're TTC?

Ok so I have come to the conclusion that however many months it takes for a BFP, I will say that it happened first month of trying, so my ovaries feel dead proud of themselves (is that really bad?)

Hi fellow bitter and twisted old hag.

Haven't seen my accidentally pg friends dh since their announcement but he's going around calling himself superspunk I've heard. He's supposed to be coming for lunch on Good Friday. I'll try to do my best acting job and not vomit on his feet/punch him if he tells us his new nickname.

Soreheart - get back on the phone and ask if they'll let you know if they get cancellations. They must get cancellations. Feeling Easteryish. Am going to try that chocolate mousse made out of raw eggs on the specials board.

Hello All, I too require a minute's rant. Called for next fertility appt. today (tried 4 times yesterday - stuck on hold, endlessly), got through to find I have a 9 week wait for this appt. I am panicking a bit about my age, so 9 weeks just makes me panic even more.
I will take a comfy seat over by the window and consider the lunch options from the menu. . . . . . . I didn't realise we had a chef! Marvelous.
9 weeks is a good amount of time to focus on all things healthy and positive. I do know this, it just makes me feel things are not under my control even more than usual.
Meanwhile Persona has been advising that I don't have sex for fear of conceiving since day 6 (now 11). How is that supposed to help me, eh? It's supposed to help me work out when I might be ovulating - or at least near enough when - at this rate I might be ovulating any time between CD6 and CD18.
How all you other ladies this week? Eastery? Looking forward to Spring weather? Felling full of Spring er Springyness? IYKWIM???

I really feel for you guys who are struggling at the moment. It stinks. We have loads of friends who are all about to start trying for no2 and every time dp comes home from seeing any of them I'm all tensed up waiting for her to tell me X is pg. Luckily accidentally-pg friend cancelled the dinner last night that I was dreading. Am expecting her husband to say to me 'you haven't congratulated me yet'. What for? For ejaculating into her vagina? You didn't even decide you want to conceive another, let alone actually put in any concerted effort. I hate being such a bitter and twisted old hag. So I know how you all feel. It's shit.

how bloody awful Cryptonomicom I couldn't think of anything worse. I would have faked illness. Can't she do these things with her dp/dh? My mate is emailing me all about her pregnancy at mo.

Catbabymummy - sorry to hear about bad time. Hope Blavod and swim have helped.

Hope you are feeling slightly better this morning Catbabymummy. I am not surprised you are finding things difficult with all that going on in your life.

I found out yesterday that another friend is pregnant yesterday and had my usual feelings of jealousy and self hatred. My pregnant colleagure roped me into helping her choose her nursery furniture yesterday which I could really have done without. I was ok yesterday but feeling really down and tearful about it all today .

Haven't been here for a while, thought I would drop in with a vat of Blavod.
As I have just said on TTC after miscarriage thread, collegaue pregnant, due shortly after what should have been my EDD. So fucked off, FFS she's got 2 fucking kids already, why does she need more?????? burp
I just don't believe I'll ever get pregnant again. Only bad things seem to happen to me lately, my DH lost both his grandparents last year, I lost my baby, been having horrible stress at work, good friend & colleague had a heart attack, another friend is dying of cancer and hasn't got long to live. So feeling like shit at the moment. I'm going for a swim in the pool of self pity now...

Blurrrggghhhh - sorry I just need to let off steam somewhere. I am probrably being a bit daft to post when I have raging pmt and a glass of wine in me, but anyway. I really should have gone to bed by now (early morning) but could not resist one more trawl through the conception threads, and read the one -hate waiting - and yet again it was a don't want to wait - oh look I'm pg, I have only been here a few weeks.... arrggggg. It is not like I am ttc#1 or even that I have been trying very long this time (4 cycles) it is just that I am a hormonal bag of frazzeled edges..... and of course feeling guilty about the glass of wine because of course there is always the chance that I might be pg - who knows miracles do happen. Sorry to be so self-centred here. would share the wine with you but already drunk it, so perhaps I should just share the virtual vodka I have stashed away here - go on take it, enjoy....

Thanks scorpio. I'm ok, it's dh that gets the brunt of it but she really is full on and it's just very wearing sometimes!

Don't want to take up valuable space where I could be talking about me instead!!

Beany-u ok?teenagers are a nightmare (says she who wasnt a teen that long ago,but i was more grown up coz i had sprogs) here if u wana rant?

Fab freudian slip there - I meant "gory details"

Bit of brie for me too please. Sorry about your period LNO.

Am having an attention seeking nightmare with 19 year old sdd, who is driving me nuts. I'm not going to post the gory daughters but suffice to say, boy am I in a bad mood

Virtual Pimms sounds like a really good idea. Just a quick as I'm out this evening. And a bit more brie over here. Thanks.

over-ripe brie anyone and a nice big glass of cold white wine - yum!

duchesse is indeed away with her camels and back in 2 weeks but she said she might try and look in on us if she gets online.

LNO - so sorry about AF arriving - I so know what you mean about accidental or "oops I'm pg" scenarios- I seem to spend half my life looking at people with DC of any age and thinking why them and not me? In nearly every other area of life if you try hard and do what you are told you have a good chance of getting what you want - but not with TTC and most annoying irony is that its all happening in our own bodies and is totally beyond our control grrrrrrrr.

More wine? (is it warm enough for virtual Pimms yet )
