And I think I've just given up hope for this cycle. DP just asked me to move my coat upstairs rather than hang it downstairs as it was in the way. I thought this was a ridiculously unreasonable request despite it being a massive down jacket that inflates to fill most of the hall as I had been tidying up all day yesterday no I can't work out the relevance of that either so I had to flounce upstairs before I burst into tears in front of him.
And now I'm in tears because the fact that I was going to cry about something ridiculous means AF must be on the way tomorrow. It's an undeniable sign.
I hate ttc. It started off fun and exciting but now it's bloody horrible.

Why, Cherry, thank you for noticing.
Barking, that just sucks. I too have the crazy crying over stupidly insignificant issues too, though mine is nearly always a week before AF turns up. I would say something like 'its not over yet' but when you've been TTC for a while, you begin to just 'know' what your body is up to, and it is utterly bloody miserable. 
at AF and 
or 
for you.

Evening all!
Been out for lunch at my friends today, they have two girls 3 and 6, the youngest cuddled up to me it was just lush! Althought she did headbutt my very slightly sensitive boob, ouch! lol
thunder no pimping for me, AF due a week tomorrow, I suspect my emotional outbursts yesterday may be due to the impending witch!
pot welcome to the gang 
! Hugs barking

Evening all! Can you tell that I actually had to spend today with my DP & SS so couldn't spend all day checking phone for Elderberry goss?!!
Congrats Alex - defiinitely some berry luck around today. 
Welcome Pot so nice to see a brand new face. Could have sworn I've seen you somewhere before though - do you have a sister?
Hugs Barking I also do the completely irrational outbursts the day before AF starts so know how you feel. Men will never understand.
Hang in there Tally FX it's all ok in the end.
Nothing happening here. OPK still negative which is just as well given DP was in a right mood with me last night so there was no DTD for me. Reckon TTC would be a lot simpler if it didn't involve our OHs - anyone got the number for a sperm bank & a handy turkey baster?
I confused DP today by getting the giggles in Sainsbury's when i saw the Gu pots. Never going to be able to look at one in the same light ever again!!

I've just started a thread in conception about hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed recently which is what has been making me feel a bit recently- because of delaying ttc rather than anything else.
In the first couple of replies, it's taken 12 months for people to get pg again. A whole year more?! ARSE

Oh...in my thyroid rant, I forgot to rub my stinging chin and say "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your flounce out!"

frog I passed the ipad to DP this morning with an article about drinking affecting fertility in both men and women. He said he'd stick to only 2 pints when he went out. This would be fine, I think getting him to stop altogether when he's been told his sperm count is 'normal' would be impossible. However, we've got a holiday and then two weddings coming up and I can't imagine for a minute the same 2 pint limit will be in place!
I fell asleep after my earlier outburst (been really tired this past few days) and now have a friend and two dogs staying the night, so have plenty to distract me!
thunder easy for me to say, but there could have been other reasons that these two women took another year, it's not like there is any logic or fairness or reliable pattern in who gets upduffed after how long in this ttc shit experience. You could be the exception to the rule!!

Happy. I foolishly clicked that thread earlier. A moment of sheer madness.

Was hoping to see stories that would give me some hope not, my first 2 were unplanned and I was TCC for a whole month on my third
