Hopefully this is the last thread we start and all our dreams and wishes come true.

I just can't stop crying and welling up at the slightest mention of babies. DH is so confident that this month will be our month that I'm feeling worried of letting him down. I know he doesn't mean to upset me and is only trying to stay positive but I just feel so so so down and emotional.

I just want to be pregnant ffs!! Why is it so unfair and difficult. This month has got to be my lowest ttc point. Don't know how much more of this I can take. It's like mental torture.

Hi all especially resipsa and red really sorry you are both feeling down today. Nothing to say but sorry, I know it's really tough sometimes.

I survived today's triple baby shower, they are all dud around the time my first chem preg baby would have been due. It went a lot better than I thought it would.

Hope you feel better tomorrow and I hope winkle continues to have no news (other than the good sort).

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 20/01/2013 20:42

Dud = due

RedRobin1 · 20/01/2013 20:49

Oh sheesh when fates so cruel sometimes.

Hope they were all very very grateful for the baby showers when it's difficult when no one in RL understands what you are going through.

when glad it went better than expected. Still hard, though, so you did v well. An impressed at your fortitude. Got any going spare???

red feeling it with you. So hope it's your month.

twinklestar2 · 20/01/2013 21:48

:( res and red. Hate ttc. Why is it so hard? What starts off as happy and exciting just turns into sadness and anxiety. I still think someone should invent a pill that you take when you want to get pregnant. It would make life so easy.

I used to be all zen like and spiritual about ttc. I used to say it was hard as it proves that nothing in life you want comes easy. Well bollocks to that as its easy for some people - even the ones who don't want it.

Think I'm about 18dpo. I'm on cd28. I don't feel pregnant :(

LittleMissSnowShine · 21/01/2013 12:48

Thanks and Brew for res and red

I'm still keeping fx for you winkle, symptoms or not

It's still pukeapalooza for me, which I think I will deal with a lot better if the booking scan this Fri shows everything is going ok. Very fed up of being signed off work, at home alone, puking my face off and still not feeling very confident that everything is going to be ok. Bollocks to everything coming easy indeed!!!!

twinklestar2 · 21/01/2013 14:28

Good luck at scan on Fri, littlemiss

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 21/01/2013 17:07

Good luck with the scan little sorry you are still puking but maybe it just means everything is going well.

winkle I am assuming there is no more news from your end.

RedRobin1 · 21/01/2013 17:12

5dpo and feel very un-pregnant.

Have shopped a lot online today - I feel a little better. Got some new jeans. Had been postponing jeans shopping for awhile.

good luck with the scan littlemiss - fx for you winkle

Red the law of Sod dictates that if you buy an expensive pair (J Brand Houlihans in my case) which are pricey (£200!), from somewhere tricky to return them to (USA!) and you've lusted after them for weeks, you WILL get pregnant Grin.

Winkle?

Good luck, LittleM.

Hi when.

twinklestar2 · 21/01/2013 23:24

Hello no news here! Currently on cd29 so still time for witch to arrive!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 22/01/2013 07:45

That's good news so far then winkle.

She's pretty much left me and its only cd4. Had a chat with dh and we have both resolved to dtd more. Don't think I am going to get close to winkle's standards but we only dtd twice last month (ov came earlier than expected).

Hi resipsa glad to hear your mum is ok.

RedRobin1 · 22/01/2013 08:59

Fx winkle thats good news. When will you take a test? Starting to feel excited for you :)

I hope you are right res I bought some topshop skinnies - the supersoft leigh ones. Skinny Jeans never look right on me, but these were fab, so splashed out on 3 pairs Blush

Also DH and I booked a holiday to Cyprus over Easter for two weeks. Do hope sods law works. Really tempting fate now, aren't I?

OP posts:
twinklestar2 · 22/01/2013 09:07

I'll take a test if nothing by cd35 but I bet she comes by then. Why would this month be any different to the other 50 million I've been trying (slight exaggeration there ;))

LittleMissSnowShine · 22/01/2013 09:22

3 pairs!! Wow red, you're def getting preg at this rate, booking holiday to Cyprus only the icing on the cake lol

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 22/01/2013 10:32

Skinny jeans and pregnancy do not go together. So I agree with littlemiss def you are definitely getting pregnant soon. Grin

Af stopped yesterday but is back again now.

LittleMissSnowShine · 22/01/2013 10:35

Grr Angry @ AF when - wish she would bugger off for you!!

RedRobin1 · 22/01/2013 11:08

Haha in my defence, they were really really soft jeans. They almost feel like leggings, but are not jeggings, just really nice supersoft jeans Grin and my way of tempting fate.

winkle one cycle has got to be different from the other 50 million. It's got to be this one. PMA - even though its hard at times. It only takes one sperm!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 22/01/2013 11:27

Thanks littlemiss I'm not too bothered about af hang

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 22/01/2013 11:31

Hanging around, it is only cd 4 after all.

My New Years plan for getting knocked up is.

  1. try and relax (not sure how I can force myself to relax)
  2. drink a lot less (counterintuitive to plan 1))
  3. have more sex (I'm going for 4/5 times around ov)
  4. eat better
  5. excercise more
Thingymajigs · 22/01/2013 12:00

when I'm attempting a relaxed cycle too. I've actually been very chilled so far but as ovulation gets closer I'm starting to be more aware of dates. We can totally do this though. I've got lots of books to distract me and lots to do over the w/e when I'm ovulating so hopefully this cycle will be a breeze.

LittleMissSnowShine · 22/01/2013 12:39

If it helps I was actually pretty wound up and cross with DH on cycle we got pg because ewcm appeared around cd12 and we dtd on cd10 but not cd11 or 12 because DH had a headache or some such crap excuse and we didn't start dtd until cd13 or something, so I was sure we'd missed it and I was Angry. I also did drink that cycle, not hugely but I did go to a friend's wedding which was just before/during/after ov kind of time and I decided to have cocktails and enjoy. Obvs it is better not to drink and better to be relaxed but I say...don't beat yourself up if you're in a ratty mood and you have a couple of g&ts! I can feel it in the air that there will be some new additions to our grads club very very soon Grin

RedRobin1 · 22/01/2013 16:01

that makes me feel so much better littlemiss I am so desperately wishing to catch it this month. And we too argued during and after sex, timed it all wrong as i fell ill. It's all a big blur - never thought we'd be making babies this way! But hey ho! I just want to see the second line on a stick so so so bad.
