dh and I are having a last push at ttc. we are giving it either a year or another mc before we give up (haven't told gp ) so i have decided to reopen the anti-testing thread!

Hey Annie, sorry you are having a shite time. I really hope you come to a decision that makes you happy. It must be so hard with work and everything.
Nunnie - here's to next month and a Xmas baby
Lissie - I'll be here in the morning waiting for your results.

shirleyc · 23/03/2009 20:33

Annie im so sorry your feeling this way, i agree with what everyones saying but in the end only you know whats best for you. Perhaps take a month out and enjoy yourself, drink and relax.
Nunnie im sorry af has appeared but like you say that in between stage is awful and now at least u can have a good bottle glass of wine and chill for the evening!
Lissie i'll be about in the morning wiating for your test results with anticipation!Hope you pee on the right end of the stick unlike someone on another thread i read about.... lol although when she peed on the right end she got a bfp.

Here for you all in the morning! As for me well im good symptoms have all stopped so im thinking af is on her way oh well theres always next month (no symptoms of af coming yet either though?)

Oh Annie, I hope you don't mind me butting in, [hugs], you seem so sad about it all. Maybe nunnie is right and you need to take a break from actively trying? [hugs again]. Maybe you'll feel a bit better after talking to dh this evening.

annie, I did exacly that with #1 after 3+ years I decided, I wouldn't prevent it i.e use contraception but I would not actively try I did this and by the time I did fall pregnant after over 6 months I had forgotten all about it and had booked holidays etc and got on with my life, I must say I was shocked when it happened, but there is alot in the forget about it and relax thing. Just can't seem to manage it this time round.

I will Pistachio Thank you.

nunnie · 23/03/2009 16:41

I am use to it now annie tbh, glad AF came I don't like the am I aren't I stage of trying!

I am hoping I will learn not to test till at least a week late, before I need to get a bank loan to pay for the tests.

Good luck to you annie

PistachioLemon · 23/03/2009 16:40

Right she has arrived there is nothing like testing to produce an overdue AF.

I can move on too next months bedroom athletics and have a well deserved drink tonight.

Maybe month 19 will be my lucky month.

Good luck and finger crossed for you all

Back in 2 weeks but will loiter for BFP in between.

No AF and a BFN

Liskey · 23/03/2009 13:04

Cheers for the support ladies.

My DH hates me temping - the bleep bleep bleep of the thermometre wakes him up every time as he thinks its the alarm clock - not popular at 3 or 4 in the morning!

As for every other day he'll be terrified....I mentioned that on Saturday (after being together 14 years) he'll be scared!

PistachioLemon · 23/03/2009 12:03

OMG I've just picked myself off the floor from laughing too much - I have little red dots on the calendar too!

shirleyc · 23/03/2009 11:18

lol makes 2 pistachio lets see how it goes At least u've mentioned temping to him, that would make my dh run for the hills more than the 'every other day sex' lol

notinthenknow its difficult isnt it knowing how much would seem pushy to dh/dp We're being relaistic, anything more than twice a month is good for us! tmi but we're up to about 8/10 times now, ive stopped dotting trhe calender now lmao thats a record since the early days haha.

PistachioLemon · 23/03/2009 11:13

Hey Notintheknow - I only started temping a few days ago, I know it ought to be for the whole month but it makes me feel like I'm doing something useful.

As for every other day sex, I haven't dared mention it yet to dh for fear of him running for the hills. I'm praying and hoping it won't come to that!
