Winkle omg I'd have slapped her
Ofcourse you were getting stressed when she wasn't listening!!!
I can understand that stress may hinder you TTC but just wanted to get pg isn't going to stop your periods surley or we'd all be waiting

Phew! I saw the other one fill up but I'm on the phone do couldn't do anything. Thanks kitty!

Doesn't sound fun winkle, you could have tried tears, that might have shut her up!!

redstrawberry · 20/07/2012 09:51

thanks kitty I'm going to hop on to the August one though. It's good to know that the no symptoms thing is not a bad thing xx

kittykatsforever · 20/07/2012 09:51

Lol dulcet, that would definatly be a great way to make people shut up!!

OP posts:
winkle2 · 20/07/2012 12:04

dulcet that would have made me look like I WAS stressed!

I love it when people say 'give up trying'. uh yeah ok then, 'trying' means having sex so I'll stop having sex, yeah?!?!?!?!?

Dexidoo · 20/07/2012 12:18

People can say some very stupid things. A colleague recently compared my MC to the death of her dog. I am a dog lover and could kind of understood that it probably sounded better in her head but vocalising it wasn't very sensitive!!

I highly recommend the chocolate Philadelphia- it's less cheese more chocolate cheesecake in spread form. Scrummy on a wholemeal bagel ( or straight from the pack if feeling piggish!)

kittykatsforever · 20/07/2012 12:32

Well winkle if she asks again just say we've given up trying like you suggested!
It does seem to be alot of advisers are those that took along time themselves, like the converted ex smoker!! Ofcourse it seems easy and logical once you've reached your goal, of you hadn't they'd be as nutty as the rest of us, I think you've been very laid back given the weird non af, I'm sure I'd have filled a land hole with the hpts I'd have done, must remember never to dish out silly advice when we get pregnant too Blush

DulcetMoans · 20/07/2012 12:37

Yeah, at least it hopefully teaches us to not do it to others when we get there. I think people tend to disassociate TTC from DTD. That's what it's about. It's sex! It's do personal and it's not something you can really not 'try' to do. It's not like losing your keys and finding them when you aren't looking. Sex is a choice we make!

I am eating some sour cream and chive pretzels. They are amazing! I recommend!

kittykatsforever · 20/07/2012 12:46

Exactly dulcet and if we feel Ill/ tired we won't dtd except if a little opk tells us Smile then we will, if we only dtd when we felt like it it'd probably take me 3 years to get pg again Blush

Oh and as I was in the cod yesterday and told my friend I was feeling blue I can in this morning to a little toblerone in my desk with a sticker saying just so you don't start off the day feeling blue again!
How cute is that Grin

KickTheGuru · 20/07/2012 13:32

winkle

May I suggest a harpoon through her cheek???

I can't stand those people. I haven't really told many of my friends. I told my brother when we TTC and got the old "relax and it will come" story.

Fortunately, I managed to spit back "I nearly died and so it won't"

People can't say that to me anymore. I threaten them with great bodily harm.

KickTheGuru · 20/07/2012 13:33

Message edited: "I nearly died and that's MORE why I didn't fall pregnant before"

That's not a random negative belief in it never happening

AmayaBuzzbee · 20/07/2012 13:43

Winkle OMG, your friend sounds like a bit of a nightmare! I hate it when people refuse to listen what you are trying to say and then think they know what you feel better than you do!

Kitty Aww, your friend is lovely! I'd love to find unexpected chocs on my desk some day Smile

Dexi Hmnn, sounds like your friend probably wanted to think she understands how you felt about mc and be comforting, but comparing that to a loss of a dog is not quite the right way.

Well, 4 DPO here. I feel like I'm in with a chance this month as we definitely DTD'd leading to OV, and at OV time too. I have felt occasional little twinges and pulling sensations in the right ovary/uterus area. I hope that means something is happening down there!

It's a good month as it's a bit of a win/win situation. If it's a BFN -I get to start the CB trial next cycle. If it is BFP, well -YAY! I'll be a happy girl either way Grin

redstrawberry · 20/07/2012 13:58

dulcet thats exactly my point, how can you TTC and not have sex! MY SIL said not have 'regimented' sex and try and 'enjoy' it. EOD is planned sex, but def not regimented in any way. Not that I ever told her about it. I do not discus my sex life with her. So what gives her the right to be presumptuous I have no idea!

winkle I like kick's harpoon suggestion. people think its so easy to say stop trying and it'll just happen. Next time I am going to punch someone. For the sake of stupid analogies, it's like saying stop applying for a job and going through the stress of interviews, it'll just happen! NO it bloody won't... you have to have S-E-X to get pregnant.

redstrawberry · 20/07/2012 13:58

I think I have very bad PMT Blush

KickTheGuru · 20/07/2012 15:19

I had a rubbish couple days too, red

Spent some time dedicated to a little cry this morning.

redstrawberry · 20/07/2012 16:04

hope the cry helped kick :( any sign of AF? Has she shown up?

KickTheGuru · 20/07/2012 16:09

Oh yeh showed up yesterday morning. Since I had the cathater, the first day is just insanely painful. Much better today though.

7 days late! I guess if we are going to start next month, we won't have a CLUE! Remind when if/when I am frantic about being late and no BFP that I've been so massively late virtually every bloody month.

DH reckons that my "chemical pregnancy" in December may have actually been the start of the pancreatic malfunction. That was the first month this all started with insane cycles. Remind me that. Unless I get a BFP... Grin

kittykatsforever · 20/07/2012 16:26

Kick do you think your cycle length has just lengthened with all your body changes?
I think I'd start taking it as the average of what it's been recently so your not fretting each month and also perhaps testing too early even if you are pg?

OP posts:
KickTheGuru · 20/07/2012 16:36

20 odd years of my cycle and I am normally bang on 29 days.

I honestly think that if I hadn't been a runner / cyclist and hadn't done sport, the diabetes would have shown up earlier. I think doing the sports I do has managed to bring my BS down which has meant that instead of crashing completely in a matter of 1 - 2 months, my body took longer.

And I think with the constantly elevated sugars then I think my body has just been trying to protect me (and a baby) by not even probably ovulating properly. And that's what's been pushing my cycles out.

They did an LH test at the doctors and it picked up on CD12 that my body was working towards ovulating but I must have OVed later because I was so late. I noticed a difference last month in my AF - much much lighter, but longer and 3 days late. They said (before AF even came) that there is no way I would have OVed in the last couple months when my body was so ill. That was definitely noticed in my AF.

This month, while 7 days late, it's also much more how it used to be.

So I think it's just my body like...normalising. Its not being starved or killed so it's not in dying mode and I bet it's just trying to sort itself out. I guess it's a big decider on falling pregnant.

It will let me fall pregnant when it feels ready.

I trust it. Poor old thing :)

KittyBump · 21/07/2012 11:09

Looks like I'm out too :( I think I am DPO13 and I did an internet cheapy hpt and not a sniff of a line.
Ho hum, i also have evil PMT which is not helping. May come and join you in the August thread....
Good Luck to those still waiting to test.

NicolaHazel · 21/07/2012 11:15

Sorry, kitty...seems we are all slowly sloping off to August :-/

The month started so well too.

winkle2 · 21/07/2012 13:27
