The Elderberry Pavlovas are pimping everyday – a lovely thread for 30+ ladies TTC #1 (Thread 7)

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Newbies very welcome provided they meet the entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, must have a special pot, NO instadiffers) and bring a bouquet of sausages when they join!

Who have a hill names after them...

Merkin, I was getting worried about you, I'm glad you posted. It sounds like this has hit you really hard. Don't worry about ranting, we are here for you! You were on the verge of a really big thing happening and things have changed. It will be hard for a while, but don't let it dampen things. We will get there!! xxxxx
On the next subject, I'm in Kent so not too far...

Was 'w' we?? Now super excited (I seem to be very sad) that you lived in the same town as me at one point. Help me find a life please!

Ooh we seem to be a Southern bunch... There must be some Northerners among us? Thanks tally

merk please do not hold back from ranting, if other people didn't rant I wouldn't feel able to and quite often there is no-one in RL I could rant at like I can let off steam on here!!

cats your teacher sounds like a nightmare!!

I lived in north London briefly with an ex but hated it. Much happier in the North .

bloody hell that post took me so long to type there was an entire conversation before I hit send!

Not surer what you mean by car maker hill? I'm being a bit slow, but don't think that's it. (w was we, yes!).
I live about 8 miles from you......

Cats I'm probably miles out! On a side note my ex came from Purley

Still stumped on the hills. There's no hill in the name of the place where I live, so could you put me out of my misery and tell me where you were thinking of?

Caterham

barking yes, my teacher is a bit lacking. Last week while teaching 3D and 2 D shapes, he completely muddled up sides, edges and faces. Repeatedly and not even consistently! Ffs.
merks, not there....bit north-west of where your ex came from.

Begin with an S??

I'm still not completely convinced its AF Merk, still, you've seen the evidence.

I'm in Suffolk, not nearly as posh as Surrey.
7 DPO here and nothing so far. Such a bad cough though that I'm sure anything in there couldn't hold on even if it was there.

pib don't expect anything at 7dpo. Cough will make no difference. I used to live on the Norfolk/Suffolk border and also for a time in Suffolk not too far away from a nuclear power plant

Pip not pib clearly! Going to bed, aiming for a 5am start and too tired to type!

Morning all. Hope you're feeling better merk. Pls don't feel bad about ranting at all. I'm not a teacher but do know that it is not an easy option & Cats your position sounds like a nightmare.
I'm ex London but moved to Hampshire 18m ago (and yes I know you're supposed to do that once you have the kids). Think me & DP are going to try for the Kevin McCloud method as we liked the house we went to see. Cos loads more stress is obvs what I need!
Starting to panic a bit now on the TTC front as I'm on CD16 today, FF predicted O as any one of the last 3 days & still no positive OPK or temp rise. I'm beginning to think I may be in the short LP gang as my cycles aren't that long or that maybe I don't ovulate every month. No EWCM either tho I know I have had it in the past.

A berry meet up would be cool, I often think if I ever get pg it would be nice to be-friend a few berries on the book of face! Nowhere near London, I'm from the south-west!

Sending cyber hugs that need them this morning!

TMI - Gutted this morn, a little pink cm when I wiped so I guess the witch is on her way

Had really hoped for a bunch of berries graduating this month (secretly hoped I would be included), we haven't had this for months!!!

Merkin don't worry about offloading your feelings; that's what the thread is for, support. You're at the lowest low point of the month; it can only get better from here, but give yourself time to accept the disappointment. It hurts. You aren't being silly by feeling crushed. Things will get better.

Bunny sorry she got you. Is crappy all around, isn't it.

CD 11 here and PIMPed for the first time last night. Used a Gu pot as all the cool kids do, but still managed to wee on myself. Will have plenty of practice though as am resigned to CBFM'ing in the morning and PIMPing at night, for as long as it takes. Haven't managed to temp yet; does owning a BBT count for anything?

Commiserations on AF Bunny. She's definitely a bitch witch.

Welcome to the PIMPing club Sidney. This is my 9th day straight of searching for the elusive + OPK so am getting quite adept at it now. No one has stolen my pot yet or used it for anything else either.

AAAAAAH!!!! Just had a call from DP in which he said he might be really late home from work tonight if he made it home at all & he might not even make it home tmrw. And it's shag week! And I haven't yet O'd so DTD on CD10 & CD13 which I thought was perfectly timed was probably useless. Soooo frustrating. I know it's not his fault, he can't do anything about it, it's for the greater good but right now all i can think about is how I'm doing all I can to TTC yet I'm going to be lacking the vital ingredient!! Sorry for venting on the thread when there are others with bigger problems but how am I supposed to find out if I do have bigger issues if I can't actually manage to DTD at the right time to start with?!

That's pants, frog. Hoping that he gets home this evening after all.
Yes, merk, that's the place! Not too far, eh?

Much excitement - EWCM that looked like the picture in tyoyf!! First time I've spotted that since I bought the book in January. Might do an opk later too!

Pos opk!!

Evening ladies. Had a lovely day at work today and came home to an immaculate house as we've decided to pay for a cleaner rather than constantly winge about cleaning. So once a week the whole house gets cleaned properly while I'm at work!! She's done an amazing job, I've spent ages just walking from room to room appreciating the beautiful cleaness of each room!!! And can easily afford it since I'm not having boozy nights out I need to pay for!!
And to top it all off, although it's my turn to cook, DP sent me a text saying there was a new recipe he wanted to try so he's cooking tonight!
Seeing as there's nothing to clean and nothing to cook I'm on the sofa with the dog watching OBEM
Sending everyone happy vibes and lots of s

Ooo cats sounds good!

barking, what a great day! My cleaner came yesterday. It's wonderful to open the door and sink into the clean!

I'm a little bit taken aback at my sudden fertility signals. I had a pos opk on cd21 too, dtd but no bfp or af. Now cd94 with pos opk & ewcm. I honestly can't remember if I had ewcm last time. I was keen on ff then & haven't put it, but apparently had it a week after the opk. Odd. It's the law of sod. Ov signals as I finally get to see gyn.
