Elderberry Pavlovas And The Eternal Sausage of Wang (Part 4): a frightfully good thread for the over-30s TTC their first baby.

[viviennewestwould]

Over here, sausage-wangers!

I'm here. OMG Gail you are hilarious!!!!

Something similar with a rugby player for his national team for me. Actually make that two rugby players for two different countries. Both pursued me, but kind mister google thankfully told me they weren't single.

Men!!

Omg I've missed so much tonight!!! Hilarious!!!

Good to have you back gail, DH seeing doc next week, think he is going to ask for the little blue pill!

2cats yep I will be bending the truth a little, I mean I have been off the pill a year and nothing has happened although been trying for 9 months and nowt has happened so nearly there now anyway. DH is 40 this year so not sure if it's his age or the stress that is major factor in being unable to perform. Gawd he'd be mortified if he knew I was saying all this!

gail I'm with your mother, I cried at the kangaroo show too!

I'm laughing way too much to post anything of note

2cats - don't worry, I haven't had any famous action either...well, not that I can recall....

Gail - surely that makes him the slag????

P.s. what is wrong with ginger?!? DH and I both have ginge in the family so our child has no hope

Ooh Gail he's just a baby

I read this the other day which you girls who feel like all hope is lost may find interesting.

I haven't been around much. Trying to keep myself busy and not obsess about ttc. Currently on cd16 and have dtd cd 12, 14, 16.

Really sympathise with you girls whose OH's are finding it hard to perform. My OH has had a few times like that and it's so frustrating.

Good to see you twinkle

Bring on the twigs, although I don't think that's gonna help if we're not having sex

I said to OH today, it's like hoping to win the lottery when you haven't bought a ticket!

Massive temp rise this morning. Hopefully I'm still in the game. Fx

Who's next in the POAS queue?

Gail... can't be any help i'm afraid but like the sound of BFP success post lap and dye.
Happy - loving the temp rise - FX it stays super high

In the weird world of my cycle I am 4 or 5 DPO (FF wont give me crosshairs thanks to crazy pre O temps) and suddenly started spotting. WTF is my body doing? I just want one normal cycle

Gail, Pip had a lap and dye a couple of weeks ago.
I'm still waiting to find out if I'm getting one! Grrr bloody uncommunicative gynae dept!

gail is symptom spotting!!! It's not blood as such, more a pinkish CM... will keep you updated as it's the most exciting thing happening in my life today. I have friends who swear by fasting (some do it one day on one day off and others do it 3 days a week whenever suits)... all have managed to lose weight and say they feel so much better for it.

Captain can you chase/annoy them until you get an answer? I often find this strategy works well with the NHS

Hi guys. I am still about just stupid busy with work and buying houses.
Yes Gail I had a lap and dye about three weeks ago.

I had my op on Thursday and was back to work on Monday. The actual cuts from the op were tiny and healed quickly but it was the general that caused a problem. I was about a week after ov and they tested for pg.
The consultant talked to me after about what they found and I've got a follow up next week.

I rung 'em already. The person I need to talk isn't in today.
Dh's SA results are back but he couldn't get an appt to find out what they are til the 18th! I CANNOT BEAR THE SUSPENSE!!!

*explodes

Re fasting, I'm intrigued by this 5:2 thing BUT you really need the hormone that it lowers if you're ttc so DON'T fast now ladies. Wait til post breast feeding.*

• positive thinking

Aw bloody hell they've got Gail again! I read these messages and not one of them were even bordering on inappropriate. What's going on?!?

happy dunno I'm confused. I have 2 of the messages visible on my laptop due to not refreshing. The first contained the word fuckers, the second was regarding fasting. I am off to read the talk guidelines. I have a feeling she's being unfairly trolled

Have asked mumsnet for the answer as this appears (on the surface) to be unfair. Of course she could have been going round under another name goading the symptom spotters
