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!

Morning all! After a lovely long walk with dog and DH in the gorgeous sunshine (very exciting to discover it does still exist) I am now planning on spending my day trying to make the bedroom curtains we've been needing since moving in a year ago. God I love the holidays! Sorry happylass, but I will be sharing your sorrows next week.

haycorn am impressed with your early start- I'm still in bed!

barking stop MNing and get sewing!

Oh, my life would be so complete if I had knitted mice in it. Although I do have a knitted boob.

Eh? A knitted boob?

Haha the dog loves it. Wait, I'll try and work out pictures.. here you go Dog loves boobie

In my defence, it's part of my midwhiffy paraphernalia. I don't have a woolly bosom fetish

Good to see you merk and sorry you're having such a rough time. Glad you could share in RL too.

Glad bunnycat is better - DP's one here is stressed according to the vet. Yet another thing that is my fault apparently for moving in with my two.

the knitted boob!

Still no sign of AF on CD32 but a tiny bit of spotting today & some weird twinges right in my bits if you know what I mean. I veer between hope & fear right now as I am now officially late. I'm not pimping yet tho as if FF is right then I could only be 11DPO. I just can't bear another BFN. Anyway last night DP was being such an arse that I was almost hoping I wasn't pg!

OMG peanut that is hilarious! Knitted boobies!!!!!!!!!!!

That really is hilarious! What's it for?

frog when does FF say you should test?

OMG some people really don't think do they, I commented on Facebook, made a small joke about something my friend was ranting about and she said 'maybe when you're a mother you'll understand...'
Things like that just make you feel awful, like a kick in the gut. This is also the girl that cried in front of me telling me how upset she was that her FOURTH baby was a boy! She recently text me saying she feels like people are distancing themselves from her because she is pg, I guess I may have been but not intentionally, it's just too hard

(sad to be all alone, slips under the sofa of pity feeling sorry for herself)

Hello everyone. I was just wondering if there is space for one more..? I have been lurking for a while, but have been really struggling with the whole TTC process so thought it would be great to have others to talk to (DH is great but sometimes just doesn't get the monthly AF tears.)

A bit about me... 30, Currently TTC #1, on Cycle 6 (so not that long in the grand scheme of things but last month's AF really hit me hard). Currently have a 10 day luteal phase (9 if you include spotting) so am wondering if this may be causing me some problems.

I have also recently had a colposcopy following some mid-cycle bleeding and just waiting on the results from the biopsies. Feeling that I should put the TTC on hold until I have the results but really struggling each month with the arrival of AF so also don't want to wait.

Looking forward to getting to know you all but also hoping that we all leave this conception board soon!!!

Hello Champagne. Giving you an back. I hate the dreaded 2ww and the symptom spotting which comes with it. Fingers crossed you won't be here long and this will be your last 2ww!

. Sorry to hear you've been the victim of thoughtlessness Bunny. Did you decide to go for it this month after?
Welcome Champagne and Smoothas, make yourselves at home. Smoothas there are a couple of ladies on here with short LPs (possibly Boodle and Barking??) maybe they could advise you?

Ladies would you like to add yourselves to our cast list. I've a feeling Bunny I didn't just type Bummy then honestly will need it to start the new thread

Welcome newbies, as long as you pass our very strict entrance criteria you are very welcome to join the gang

Thanks happy but I shall have to decline, given up booze for a few weeks, even though after a vile week at work and my friends comments I am dying for some vino grrrrrrr

FFS we've been married 18 months surely she realises we must be at least starting to TTC, but then again she probably has her usual baby brain! If I ever get pg I promise not to make other ladies feel bad!

And of course I will start a new thread very soon, a little sad that I'll be starting the 8th one though!

I guess a lot of people just don't think before they speak and to be fair unless you've been through it you probably wouldn't realise how difficult it actually is. I'll definitely be more considerate in future!
Did you start the original thread Bunny? Think I joined towards the end of the first thread, around the time the whole 'Elderberry Pavlova' thing was born. Never thought I'd be here 7 threads later either

Evenin' all. I'll still be here for the next thread. AF turned up today, bang on cue . I've had a bugger of a day as well. Bumped into partner's only significant ex this afternoon and am just generally feeling fat and useless. She's got two kids, obviously

Yep happy I started the first over 30 thread that turned into the elderberries! Ugh just looked it up, it was August 2012 I started it. You and pip are my long term TTC buds!

tart that's crap!

Welcome smoothas & champagne

Come on bunny plenty of room on the sofa & no need to be under it

thunder as its my first month with FF, had no +ve OPKs & my temps are a bit erratic it changed its mind as to my dashed crosshairs & moved them from CD17 or 15 to 21 which means I'm only 11DPO & not "late" until next week. This despite the fact my av cycle is 28 days & longest is 31 (last month). I tested neg at CD29 & am now on CD32 but have told my DP I might be. Apparently SS was asking today if we had a baby whether it would be his brother or sister . Sometimes wonder whether they pick up on more than you realise

This sofa must be massive lol

So are we keeping our name or changing in slightly for the next thread? I need to get it ready!

Right I've mad an executive decision, new thread is ready and waiting when this one is full, see you in the morning peeps x
