Newbies very welcome provided they meet the strict 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!

Blind, I think I would be overprotective of a blind puss cat too! When we got our two fur monsters, there was a lovely partially sited cat at the rescue centre. I wanted him desperately but they didn't think he would cope with babies. Naive ttc optimism there as that was well over 28 months ago. Sad

Hi everyone. CD 1 here accompanied with a hangover. Yuk.

I'm feeling philosophical too though today, I have so much in my life to be thankful for and this is a whole new cycle.

Mmm...chocolate! I'm currently in bed doing the 'wave your legs in the air' TTC dance and a bit of choccy would be lovely! (Thought you all might like to know that... Grin!

Just realised I got shafted by autocorrect earlier. Of course I fell in love with a partially sighted cat, not a cat located partly at the rescue centre and partly elsewhere... Silly me for not proof reading!

boodle v jealous of Sunday afternoon DTD. I went to the funfair at the chav seaside near us & was jealous of teenage tattooed instadiffers. I did fall asleep last night with my folded pillow under my arse though Grin. I thought about getting up & putting the mooncup in but thought the gravity en route would be bad. Got a line on my OPK today so have started stapling them in an exercise book to see which day is darkest as I never got one as dark as the control line last cycle. If you don't O at all would you still get surges but never the dark line or would you just get nothing all the way through?

thunder chuck us some chocolate - I'm just about to go to the gym so will work it off promise!

Hi berries.

Glad to hear your father is doing better bajas. Echo the sentiments about wanting a baby in part for the wider family. I'm the only chance at grandkids for my parents, and believe me my mother never goes long letting me forget it. She doesn't realize just how painful the little comments can be.

We are back from our bonk weekend. What a bust. Got a peak reading on Fri morning before heading out, and DH was cuffed as we'd DTD the night before. DTD again Fri pm, used 3G of Preseed; took Jim forever to finish as he'd drunk too much and neither of us could really feel what was going on. I had to admit that the problem wasn't all on his end, and was completely mortified. Sat went on a huge hike, didn't DTD as DH felt ill at bedtime and spent hours in the bathroom during the night. Woke up this morning & peak reading had changed to high. Promptly went on crying jag that still isn't fully spent.

I am just so over feeling like this is my project that I need DH's help with, instead of a truly joint effort. He was ill last night, but felt fine before that, but DTD just wasn't a priority I guess. IC OPKs still showing faint line, so God only knows if the CBFM is right, or the OpKs are, or if my app is, which doesn't show of til tomorrow. I don't know if we're out of time or if the right time hasn't really gotten in full swing yet.

I effing hate this. I hate how obsessive it's making me but my DH is so laid back that putting him in charge of this to give me a break seems like a pipe dream. Sad really disappointed in him. We could've DtD this morning but it didn't even occur to him and I was feeling too teary to ask, even though that would've been the thing to salvage the day. Sad

Oh sid that sounds crappy, why don't men feel the same as us about TTC, mr bunny still has the whole 'it'll happen one day, average is 18 months' attitude that drives me crazy! Hugs!

Just turned down DTD as feeling blah, having bubble bath and galaxy choc instead Grin

Sid, sorry your weekend wasn't what you hoped for. Perhaps when you're feeling less emotional, you and your DH need to sit down and talk about what needs to happen and when. I know that's desperately unromantic, but I remember when we were trying to adapt to the TTC routine, my DH felt a bit under pressure and we fell into the trap of arguing about it in the heat of the moment a couple of times. In the end I used my cunning teacher ways to get him to do some research on when was best to 'step up' the efforts and make him think it was his idea...not sure if you could manage to do that or ifi it's already too far down the line for you. It helped though as I think it gave him a feeling of control. We get it through opks, temping, cm monitoring, etc. guess the menfolk may feel quite helpless and at the mercy of our shag demands!

*Sid TOTALLY know what you mean. recently had to have this talk with dh. Just want him to make the first move (for once). Tbf he has got better lately but its hard to always be the one to instigate things even when I really can't be arsed!!! Have found that the more I nagged, the worse he got!

Evening! Popping in and out while dh and I play star wars games all evening. Feels nice to get back to the kinds of things we did when we got married. Have spent the day mowing lawn, having great fun at garden centre and generally grown up stuff so we thought we'd counteract it with some gaming :)
Nice slippers boodle (I think it was you...?)

Thanks for noticing, Tally!

Hmmm, a good question Bunny. We haven't really had a sustained 'theme' in this thread (that I've noticed at least, although I have admittedly been AWOL a few times recently-such is the life of a socialite like me).

Some brain blurts that might help inspire:

The Elderberry Pavlovas are luking suspiciously in the Gü desserts aisle...

The Elderberry Pavlovas become expert dodgers of instadiffers...

The Elderberry Pavlovas: Come and join us on the world's most giant sofa...

The Elderberry Pavlovas in the quest for a BFP: PIMPing, temping, dabbling in voodoo...whatever floats your boat.

The Elderberry Pavlovas are furtling for evidence!
