Not local really - about 4 stops on the train but I've not needed to commute to work in many years! The work load seems ess than it was before but I still keep bringing work home, which needs to stop!

SWI 7!!!! Grin

As I lack knowledge of OPKs - how long are they supposed to stay positive? My first 2 lines came up Saturday, then again Sunday, Monday & today...are they supposed to last that long???? Hmm

I don't know I used to get the ones with the smiley face and as soon as I got a smile I stopped. Hope that helps. They were more expensive but easy for my brain to deal with.

Can't help with the OPKs, Never got a positive out of them at all! Am very impressed with your score of 7!

That's cos you aren't. If you think negative then you won't get your hopes up. Its when I got my hopes up the depression was worse.

UmBongo · 05/02/2012 21:22

It is hard, but if you don't allow your hopes to rise then the fall isn't as hard! Yay to the power of negative thinking! HmmGrin

HalleLouja · 06/02/2012 11:21

We should sell it as a new technique of TTC. Don't get your hopes up love you probably aren't preggers! Ok not the nicest thing to say but when you do get pregnant you will be so shocked rather than being upset you aren't cos you thought you were. See I can't make any sense anymore.

You are allowed to be fed up my lovey. It's shit but one day it will work out and am still here hand holding

Fairygodmother1 · 06/02/2012 19:49

Thanks Lou I feel like having a good cry & giving up on it all!

To top it all off - a friend of mine isn't talking to me as she has finaly got round to organising her DC's christening of which I'm godmother but she's organised on a weekend that I'm away on holiday. What am I to do????

OP posts:
UmBongo · 06/02/2012 22:39

Sorry you are feeling shitty FairyG. We chavs do know how hard it is and we are all still here.

Don't know what to suggest about the christening. How organised is it? Where are you going on holiday? Is the church a busy one where they may have only offered her certain dates? She may have not had much choice, but it is odd that she didn't let you know. Good luck!

Icedlemonmuffin · 08/02/2012 11:01

Fairy I hope you feel a bit better today. It's ok to have a really good cry and maybe a good scream as well.

Ttc is really hard, lonely and soul destroying at times and I think it's even harder when you are ttc your first. I think you have a strength that you don't realise you have. I know the feeling (and i bet the other chavs do too) when it all seems too much and pointless, when your heart and soul are just too damaged.

The ttc road is very cruel because you can't be certain that you will ever reach the end, but I really hope we can give you the support you need to carry on and reach the end. The end being a little baby or two Grin

HalleLouja · 09/02/2012 19:59

What lemoni said!

Fairygodmother1 · 10/02/2012 19:07

Am on day 30 - still nothing! Was 28 days last month but usually 32 so still 2 days to go really. Am feeling a bit creampy, boobs hurt but no different to normal so I'm thinkg a BFN is coming up in 2 days...ooh how negative I am.

Really appreciate the hand holding! Don't know what I'd do without you guys to chat to!

HalleLouja · 10/02/2012 19:23

UmBongo · 10/02/2012 21:21

Fairygodmother1 · 11/02/2012 17:49

You do realise WHEN you win your baby we all get to be virtual fairy godmothers to Louis / Louise Wink

Icedlemonmuffin · 11/02/2012 20:31

Fairy if you got a bfp this month it would be a October baby and you don't want an autumn baby you want a winter baby Wink don't you so you can call it something festive like Claus or alcohol related like Bailey or Blue WKD.

When I got my bfp I had fainted at work and went to the doctors who took lots of blood (had a lovely big bruise thanks to heavy handed nurse) and I goggled myself silly, convinced myself I had some terrible disease.

Went back two weeks later to be told all test results were fine and I was just stressed. Dh convinced me (after massive row outside superdrug) to do a test, I said I would just to prove him wrong as I had totally given up all hope and had started looking for a full time job. There was a faint line and now that faint line is 13 months old.

Icedlemonmuffin · 11/02/2012 20:35

I didn't goggle myself silly (sounds rude) I googled!

Also didn't poas outside superdrug just had arguement!

Fairygodmother1 · 11/02/2012 21:18

Of course you can all be fairy godmothers!!!

LOL @ lemony - Any bloody time of year will do but Blue WK I'm lovin!!! We had a row in Tesco today about the fact that he wasn't scanning quick enough, they only had tiny bags & the machine moaning because we took the bags off quickly! lol

I really thought I'd be on by now...maybe tomorrow!
