Me first this time. Smile

It may only be May 4th, but I'm out for this month (although technically AF due 30th May - I just like starting new threads).

We all feel it hun, even if we try to ignore it it is the same for us all in this boat. thing the other morning, accidently dropped my persona machine down the loo!!!!!!!Angry!!!!DUH! WHAT AM I LIKE!! dh was just like, " it didnt work anyway, your blood results were differnt anyway!" yes, v. helpful thankyou! NOT Angry
So we have been bd anyway, have not used isiscope, or other opk, cant be arsed after all faff at hosp.
Good luck to everyone for this monththink we could all do with a bit of this to keep us going!

pussycatmomma · 23/05/2006 19:25

Oh..................just me again then!! i look like a right saddo, only person whos been on! in my defence i do have a lot going on just now and ttc is top of my list Wink Well, i'll not rattle on to myself, just wondered if anyone was about x

TuttiFrutti · 23/05/2006 19:34

You're not the only one here, pussycat. Dh is away tonight so I'm settling down to an evening of Big Brother and Mumsnet! Bliss!

Had pg symptoms earlier this week (sore boobs, feeling nauseous, felt faint three times when stood up) but was only on cd7 at the time so extremely unlikely. Nature plays cruel tricks on you though...

pussycatmomma · 23/05/2006 19:37

hiya tuttifrutti Smile hhhhmm cd7 , earliest ever recorded pregnancy? Wink know what you mean though honey, what with mother nature and auntie flow, we need all the support we can get! feels like they work against us all the time. Im chilling too , bit of mn, bath, tea with dh then my bb fix , yay!!! i love it already, feel a bit sad for that, but i only have myself to indulge so i see no problem.....

peachygirl · 23/05/2006 19:40

I'm here too... but about to go in bath, then I have several jobs to do!

pussycatmomma · 23/05/2006 19:43

hiya peachy how are you hun?

Piffle · 23/05/2006 19:45

I've just finished af on cd 7 now so here we go again...
Good luck everyone!

pussycatmomma · 23/05/2006 19:46

YAY! good luck piffle sweetie, lets hope we have some great bfps in june, think we are long overdue

peachygirl · 23/05/2006 20:15

Hi pussycat I'm ok, well actually feeling a little bit down,
v v tired - half term next week hooray
No less than 3 wormen in school are now pregnant.
One of these my NN isn't coming back to school until after the holiday because of the slapped cheek worries and I feel bad about that because I may have exposed her to it all by not sending a chid home.
Tomorrow my LSA is also on a course so I'm left with my class with goodness knows who.
Dh (although I must not get into this again) declared last night that he didn't like having sex before going to sleep in bed.
I'm on day 9 by the way and raring to go

peachygirl · 23/05/2006 20:20

peachy slinks off in case she gets into trouble again Blush

TuttiFrutti · 23/05/2006 21:07

Bad luck peachy, it's horrible to be surrounded by pg women when you want to be but aren't. You're right pussycat, it's impossible for me to actually be pg but you can't help hoping can you...

Off now to watch BB.

Sexonlegs · 23/05/2006 21:48

Hi all, ad break on BB so thought would check in. On CD 4 only, but am raring to go when the time is right. Think dh is getting fed up though of being used as a sperm machine! He was getting fed up with lack of action! No pleasing some people eh.
Must run...............xx

I remember university. All those lads who would have been have been more than happy to be used as sperm machines. Happy days...

Dear, dear...the tone of this thread is going downhill fast....!!!

Shan't add my bit to help it on it's way!!!

CD2 today and feeling fine.
I sometimes think that I'm really sad (not boo hoo but slightly (and nicely) weird!!)
How can you be really upset and then ten minutes later feel normal again and then 12 hours later be really positive that this month is going to be IT ??!!!

Am I normal??? Grin
My GP was disappointed that I went back today for my next month's hcg perscription!

I think I must be the only person to be getting free fertility drugs because I still hold my maternity excemption certificate!!!!! Shock....life is soooooooo strange!!!

flowertot · 24/05/2006 15:28

Hi all, sorry to hear about AG Coggy, it is so devastating each time we all know that feeling however much you prepare for it. I am CD 6 so getting ready for mammoth BDing. DH really poorly and run down this week - feel very sorry for him he has been so stressed at work, but how come its always at the wrong time???? Maybe he is subconsciously not wanting this as much as me....Hmmm....No. Just being over dramatic. I will jump on him at the weekend well or not I think!

coggy · 24/05/2006 15:46

LOL flowertot. It always seems like the wrong time doesn't it??!!

My dh is going away for three days this month.....guess when.......
...hmmmmmm....exactly!!

Hopecat · 24/05/2006 16:56

Hi girls.

CD22 today - so halfway through the 2ww.

Have found a successful method for not thinking about it: work so hard that you physically haven't got room in your brain.

Am now so exhausted that I wouldn't be able to symptom spot if I wanted to.

Hey flowertot: my DH works really hard as well. On extra special bd nights I make sure dinner's in the oven and run us both a candle lit bath (lukewarm obviously - wouldn't want to damage the spermies), and put on some JJ Cale or Chet Baker. That plus candles in the boudoir pretty much does the trick.

I know that if you've got into resentful mode it can be difficut, but IME it's aways worth it.

Coggy - I felt exactly the same at the beginning of this cycle - up one minute, down the next. So if I'm normal, you are. (I said IF).

flowertot · 24/05/2006 17:33

Actually that is a really good idea Hopecat. I need to chill out, relax and set the mood rather than feel annoyed and grumpy. Certainly doesn't help the atmosphere. Will try to be more pro active.... Simple tips but have helped me stop to think already. Thanks x

Hopecat · 24/05/2006 17:35

My pleasure!

Actually, you know, I could do with taking some of my own advice. Me & DH are getting into the habit of only BDing when it actually is BDing (if you get my drift).

Maybe I should run a bath tonight...

OP posts:
Sexonlegs · 24/05/2006 18:35

Flowertot, you made me laugh - just what I needed. DD came in to bed with me this a.m. at 6.15 and puked everywhere. Fortunately only puked a few times, and is now back to normal. Do I really want another dd or ds??!! Of course. CD5 today, so not long to go, although think will be away, sharing a room with dd during ov time! Great!!!!!

flowertot · 25/05/2006 07:39

Its hilarious isn't it! Howevermuch you try not to think about it, those dates are definitely in your head. I have already got the the point of thinking - there's no point doing anything this week wrong time! Hardly the most romantic of thoughts!! Oh well, bath night set for Saturday, so going to feed him up well til then

flowertot · 25/05/2006 07:50

By the way, is there anything special I should eat/drink to help things - sure I've read something about being acid or alkali and don't know anything about it? Haveing my EPO and thats about it

Hopecat · 25/05/2006 10:16

I've read that some people drink grapefruit juice and take evening primrose oil (up to ovulation) to help with CM.

Also, now would be a really good time to give your DH/DP oysters. They're the best source of zinc, which he needs to give his swimmers a boost.

If you can't stomach the idea (I love them), Waitrose sell tins of smoked oysters for £1.59 a tin, and you can cook them into pasta. Failing that, plenty of steak and liver (for him).

Also, eat lots of green leafy veg, fortified cereal and orange juice to keep your folate topped up.

I was doing all this stuff, but now I generally just eat chocolate.

coggy · 25/05/2006 11:50

LOL Hopecat...all good advice and then you ended with the best of all! Grin

I was good for ages and after a while....hey!
