ok, as the january thread reached 1800 posts exactly, well it did at last count, I think it's time we started the February thread. Now February has lots going for it, valentines, extra reasons for BD, it only has 28 days, the average length of a menstral cycle, .. so me thinks feb will be a very positive month for all of us!

Happy BD to all! (((hugs))) xxx

pussycatmomma · 28/01/2006 22:10

peachygirl · 28/01/2006 22:12

ok just put my jammies on feeling a bit of a bloaty fish!

pussycatmomma · 28/01/2006 22:13

im just about to get into mine....have you been munching or have you got something to tell me?

peachygirl · 28/01/2006 22:15

oh no Af came this afternoon, but have opened leftover christmas choccies so probably a mix of bith!

peachygirl · 28/01/2006 22:15

sorry both

pussycatmomma · 28/01/2006 22:21

gosh were you early with af or was it due and on time? i feel like i dont know where i am at the moment with all this ttc business.........
feel pretty overwhelmed with it all, what with my sister due to take her test next week, and my best friend making her announcement last sunday.
i hope it gets better over time because i dont think i could stand a year or so of it being like this

peachygirl · 28/01/2006 22:26

it was a day early but my cycle so 25 day cycle but it has been 24 days and 26 too!
You seem like you are doing all the right things so hopefully it will be less than a year for you.

pussycatmomma · 28/01/2006 22:32

you just never know though do you? i feel like its just becoming this huge thing in my head, and the bigger and more important it becomes to me, the more laid back my dh seems to be......on top of my other probs, feel like it is sending me round bend a little bit. (if it can be any worse) When i try and tell dh how it is making me feel, he just says have you taken your tablets today, as if i am not aloud to have concerns because im s'posed to be all hunkydory on my medication. I try and tell him its very normal to feel like this, which is why i come on here, but he says its just me being over obsessive i told him the other night i feel like a complete failure. He just said to me "Well, we all have to fail at something".
I just cried.....
feel really mixed up about everything just now.

peachygirl · 28/01/2006 22:38

That was very thoughtless of your DH to say that. You are not a failure.
To begin with you have only been trying for a short time, secondly you have had lots to cope with recently.work alone has been horrid for you these last couple of weeks
It is hard not to think about the whole thing , tracking cycles, thinking about when to have sex, trying at the same time to be spontaneous.
when was the last tie you went out as a couple and had a good time together? wannabe suggested this to trace the other night she was feeling very similar to this.

pussycatmomma · 28/01/2006 22:45

thankyou for being kind peachy....
but he is probably right, and im sure he didnt mean to hurt my feelings, but in the world of black/& white, we are trying to get pregnant and i am not pregnant yet, so i guess i am pretty much a failure, even if "so far".
I know i blame myself for events/outcomes, which may be out of my control, at the moment i feel pretty tempted by the old methods of coping.
sometimes im sure for alot of people, not just me, its easier in the short term to think " thats it, cant do, dont even try, you are a failure before you even start".........
its only since having met dh, and being married and in a secure and loving relationship that i tell myself i deserve to be here, and that i dont push dh away....
i still have intense feelings of needing to "run away" from it all because i am simply not good enough.

pussycatmomma · 28/01/2006 22:46

bloody hell peachy, im so sorry you are getting it all in the neck.
feel like i am almost overflowing.
i am so sorry hun.
will stop now!

peachygirl · 28/01/2006 22:49

it's ok , don't worry. I feel like a bit of a fraud as we haven't really started trying properly yet, so maybe I'm a good person to absorb it all, I know what you are talking about but am still quite laid back about it all

pussycatmomma · 28/01/2006 22:52

you are not a fraud, you are a very valued contributer to this thread! you are one of the originals with me , trace and cori!
You are here in mind and spirit even if the bodily functions are lagging behind......

peachygirl · 28/01/2006 22:54

lol, I'm just trying to ease into it all

pussycatmomma · 28/01/2006 22:57

i dont suppose you have seen trace on any other threads at all tonight have you? Just wondered if she was anywhere about still.
dont worry, you are doing fab, just carry on softly, softly approach. Wish i was able to do the same..........
have a lovely rest of weekend, sorry to have been a nuicance hun.

peachygirl · 28/01/2006 23:05

She was on this morning, I don't think she had big plans for the weekend, dinner with family etc, maybe she's been tied up with Jack,
You have not been a nuicance. Don't be so silly!!! (that was said in my teacher voice!)
I think I maight go if thats ok, getting tired and Dh will start complaining!
sleep well maybe speak tomorrow

pussycatmomma · 28/01/2006 23:06

night honey x

trace2 · 29/01/2006 11:48

oh pussycat so sorry your going through this i do knoe how you feel, i know that dont helpme saying that, but it is true, and it helps me knowing its not just me, and (quote) i told him the other night i feel like a complete failure. He just said to me "Well, we all have to fail at something". , i said same to dh, it makes you feel like you are not a woman, all i can say is keep trying hun, and (((hugs))) to you.
