Hey Cherry, you and me should get together. Between us we coould combine to become one functioning fertile woman.

Instadiffer woman from work had her baby today. I can't be bothered crying about it anymore.

Bunnygirlie · 23/03/2013 21:10

Ugh instadiffers! One of my friends had a baby last year and she was all 'oh we only did it once that month', at the time I thought it was funny but now I'm like how the f did they manage that?!?!?

A mate's sister just announced her pregnancy. They decided to have a second, came off the pill in December, POAS in January and BFP. She's 39. Part of me was happy for her, she had had a couple of mc before #1, the other was put out, couldn't she at least have had the decency to take a few months over it?! Envy

Considering taking the train tomorrow morning and hiking somewhere in the snow with the dog.

Watching OBEM, not sure this is a good idea!

CatsCantFlyFast · 23/03/2013 23:00

Helllooooo!! DH and my friend watching a film (I'm not a film person) on one sofa so I decided to come chat to you all from the other! DH and I actually takes tonight about his eternal optimism (it will happen). We debated that he thinks I'm mad worrying that it won't happen, whilst I think he's mad being totally sure it will. Neither of us are correct but hoping it will help him to understand!

Just read the MN thread and realised people 'Easterise' their names. How do I make Merkin relevant to Easter??

Ooh nobody around! I assume this means I can follow recent tradition and dance naked to Grease and dirty dancing soundtracks?!

Woah there, don't bend over that sofa!

CatsCantFlyFast · 23/03/2013 23:32

Pretend you didn't see me here...I'm supposed to be getting ready for bed and, more specifically, some DTDing. Couldn't resist catching you out though, Merk! Grin

Pipbin · 23/03/2013 23:34

Caught you!
I agree with you on the optimism. Yes there is a point in not being pessimistic but also sometimes you have to start being realistic. You don't know that it is going to happen, none of us do, we've all been there when women have got BFPs after years of trying and said that they have been sure it would never happen.
But hopefully it will.

BoodleLovesPot · 23/03/2013 23:34

Tee her! Bunny busted you too!

EasterBunnyGirlie · 23/03/2013 23:42

Tee hee!

Guess who changed her name for the first time!!!

(no goo today!)

CatsCantFlyFast · 23/03/2013 23:48

Shit, fully busted. I want an Easter name!! See you all tomorrow (early
Grand Prix sofa hugging for me). cherry I am hoping you get some sleep. Perhaps take pen/paper to bed to write down what is going around in your head as that can help you to sleep rather than worrying. Big hugs

EasterBunnyGirlie · 23/03/2013 23:55

ChocolateMerkin? Tee hee hee

CharmingCats · 24/03/2013 00:14

Evening. Had a nice evening with our gay friends. One was saying that his mum still yattersn about the grandchild she will never have.... Dear god! Even gay couples get the shite.
cherry so glad to see you. I second the advice about counselling and writing things down.

EasterBunnyGirlie · 24/03/2013 09:19

Morning!!!

Dreamt last night that I was giving birth very odd as I hardly ever remember my dreams, guess that's what you get for watching OBEM minute before bed!

BookTart · 24/03/2013 09:57

Hello, can I elbow my way onto the thread please? I'm 37 Biscuit and have been ttc #1 since December 2011, with a CP in October. Poor sa results twice so we're off to the fertility clinic on Tuesday. If this doesn't work then at least I have my cats, right?

EasterBunnyGirlie · 24/03/2013 10:01

Hello book or is it tart Grin

You pass all entrance criteria so welcome to the gang!

BookTart · 24/03/2013 10:06

Cheers! I have conducted a small survey, and the unanimous answer is Tart Shock. The respondents may think they are clever now, but they will think again when they get gruel for dinner...

EasterBunnyGirlie · 24/03/2013 11:07

Tell us a bit about yourself tart ! I need something to take my mind off period pain grrrrrrrrr Angry

BookTart · 24/03/2013 11:17

I like gin and hate cleaning. That pretty much sums me up, my house is full of empty bottles and cat hair. I'm painting a great picture of myself here! I am an over-user of smilies, an obsessive watcher of University Challenge, a massive over-sharer and a rookie knitter. Me me me me me! Oh, and for the stattos BFP is due 6th April. Has that helped?

Frogcatcher · 24/03/2013 11:24

Ha it's the curse of the cats again! You'll find tart that a lot of us on this thread have cat(s). We suspect they may be whispering threats to our ovaries whilst appearing to snuggle & purr. Either that or a higher power knows I'm never going to have real babies so gave me my furry ones. They were quite literally abandoned at the bottom of my garden like cabbage patch kittens.

BookTart · 24/03/2013 11:29

Oh yes, my three will be furious if I ever actually manage to get upduffed. Their current sabotage tactic is to wake me every hour, on the hour between 3 and 6am. Oh, and to sleep in between me and partner, thus ensuring no action occurs.
