Come on ladies, this is the one! Time for some BFPs!

The smallprint- Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, must have a special pot, NO instadiffers)

Congrats on dildocam appt mrsboom & sympathy for all other berries on pg SILs & friends. I'm lucky that as DP is 43 & the youngest his sisters are both past child bearing age tho popped out 3 each. I just have his instadiffer child 18 yr old niece to contend with. At least the SiLs are bringing the baby into a stable home environment & not doing it after being with some bloke 2 min cos they're too lazy to get a job (DPs view).

Got an invite to one of my first close friends to have kids daughters 3rd birthday party on Friday. I'm ok with that really as I hadn't even met DP 3 years ago but can see how it would hurt if I'd been TTC that long. A few of mine did instadiff tho which lulled me into a bit of a false sense of security & now makes me feel like I'm failing even tho its only been 6m.

Frogcatcher · 28/04/2013 10:23

Oh & it varies whether I get EWCM or not. I did get some this month but used to get loads more in the past before TTC & I didnt really know what it was all about! Apparently you produce less as you get older . We didn't use any conceive plus this month as didn't seem to be required

Frogcatcher · 28/04/2013 10:28

LOL just read boodles link & it says not to check for EWCM during sex. If someone is managing to do that then it might explain why theyre not getting pg!

Tallyra · 28/04/2013 10:49

I used to get lots of ewcm, back before I knew what it meant. Now not so much. Odd - as soon as I'm looking for it,it disappears.....

Morning all, anyone else hungover??

Shhhhhhhhh

to all the instadiffer not-really-relatives-but-close-enough-to-easily-make-direct-comparisons

I too no longer seem to get ewcm but I remember getting it in the past. We don't use lube either- need to keep the pressure off the whole dtd thing so just have to 'juice up' (ref how I met your mother....anyone?)

yorkiebilb · 28/04/2013 11:46

Morning all!

Haven't been on for a few days so feel like I've missed loads. Will have a proper catch up read in a bit.

Bunny sorry to read that AF arrived. thunder & boom saw that you were feeling down. Hope you're both okay and feeling a little bit better.

boom think you wrote something about considering yoga - I say go for it. I'm not flexible in the slightest and was worried about going to a class so I bought a yoga book from whsmith and do it at home. It's lovely and really recommend it - some of the positions are meant to be good for increasing fertility.

Re: insensitive comments. I wholeheartedly agree with everyone. On Fri a guy I work with was talking to me about his son then out of nowhere asked me if I was going to start trying soon. I barely know him! He caught me off guard and I just said I didn't want to talk about it so ge then carries on saying that me and DH should make the most of being on our own. SHUT UP!! Typically I then end up feeling guilty for saying I don't want to talk about it!

Tallyra · 28/04/2013 14:44

Guys, in a blubbering mess. went over to my mum's to feed my sister's rabbit as they are away this weekend. (sister moved out but rabbit stayed... ).
Rabbit was quite old and arthritic so I went to give her painkillers and she pretty much just lay over and died. I've made phone calls to let them know and made a cup of tea and now I'm trying to calm down. It's the fact that I was supposed to be looking after her that hurts most. I was worried about her yesterday so I had a feeling she wouldn't last long, but did I have to watch???

Cate555 · 28/04/2013 15:16

Tallyra that is just awful!! Poor bunny but it sounds like it had a great life and was well looked after. Hope you get over the shock - eat chocolate.

BlindKitty · 28/04/2013 15:52

Oh tallyra thats awful! At least your sister will have the comfort that he was with with you when he went xxxxx

Thundercatsarego · 28/04/2013 16:11

Hug for tally, what a sad day. I know it must have been awful but it's definitely a comfort that you were with her when she went.

Hi yorkie, how are you doing? Apart from having to put up with absolute twats making comments like that. Particularly AFTER you say you don't want to talk about it!

Wimwom · 28/04/2013 16:12

tally poor you - I would be worse than a blubbering mess. How did your sister take it?
all having HSGs I had one two weeks ago. Took two paracetamol and ibuprofen before, was absolutely fine - just undignified with the legs in the air business (but no worse than dildocam) little bit crampy when they put the dye in - but quite interesting to see tubes/lining etc so that takes mind off it. Don't worry about it for sure. My cons said there is an increase in natural conception for the few cycles after so we should really go for it.... Like we weren't anyway!

Tallyra · 28/04/2013 16:17

Thanks for the sympathy girls. dh was lovely on the phone but he went out for a bike ride after I left so now have an over excited dog I keep shouting at so I decided to hide. currently sitting in my sewing den eating chocolate spread and watching indulgent crap tv.
Sister took it well - she was possibly more concerned at how upset I was. but then she hadn't really seen her much this last year as she's been buying a house 60 miles away.

BlindKitty · 28/04/2013 16:36

tallyra you have a sewing den??? Choc spread rocks! Have you tried the cadbury's philli? x

Frogcatcher · 28/04/2013 16:42

Hugs tally I am such an animal softie that I felt upset just reading it. As everyone said though he's obviously had a long life & if he was in pain from his arthritis it was probably for the best.

I thought of you yesterday btw when I saw a sign near me for a quilting exhibition.

6dpo so crazy symptom spotting has started - got the freaky greasy hair today that I randomly got the other month too. Not so convinced tho that didn't have a small glass of wine with lunch at my parents - pre implantation it's all ok right?

BlindKitty · 28/04/2013 16:54

well in the last 2 weeks I've managed to leave the keys in the front door all night (next to the car), left the car open today, and then later the window open!!! Really hoping its pregnancy brain although its prob me just being dim!!!!

Hey ladies!

thunder how's the hangover? Mine was bit rotten yesterday!

yorkie what an insensitive jerk you work with!

tally Awwww poor rabbit :-(

Guess what, my friend who is pregnant with her fourth is having a quadruple christening and has just asked me to be godparent to number 3!!! aaaagh

OP posts:

BlindKitty · 28/04/2013 17:23

bunny my friend asked me a while back. Wouldn't mind but she reckons he was practically my idea as we talked about it at my wedding. on the way home, they pulled over in a layby ....and you can guess the rest!

tbf though, shes prob asking you as she knows what a good god mother you'll make

BoodIeBee · 28/04/2013 18:11

Awww, Tally, so sorry you've had to deal with that today. Pets are just there to break our hearts, aren't they? I've never been there for any of my pets passing/being put down before (the two I've got now are my real first, as opposed to being family cats with my parents) but a few years ago I stopped to help with a dog that had been hit by a car. It very sadly died and it was just so traumatic, even though I didn't know this dog at all. I was going to tell the full story (there were some absolute bastard bystanders) but realise you may not want to think about sad things like that.

On the TTC front, I'm maybe 6-7DPO (no cross-hairs but temps are right up so pretty sure ov happened) and have been having PMS symptoms all week. Spotting started today. I'm fed up with this - I'm almost jealous of the 2WW because at least you have a time of hope! Honestly, by the time I can (usually) see ovulation has occurred, I've got all the classic PMS signs that AF is already rolling in. It's crap.

yorkiebilb · 28/04/2013 18:31

Yes the guy at work is an idiot. This is the same guy who when he found out that my fil had died asked me how old he was and when I replied 70 his only comment was well he lived to a good age! Errr not sure my poor DH and the family see it like that and thanks for your bloody sympathy!!

tally so sad about the bunny. I'm v jealous of your sewing den!

wim sorry just been catching up and just wanted to say so sorry about your test results. Hope your gp is pushing to get you seen as soon as possible so you know what your options are.

thunder I'm okay thanks. Currently pre ov so in my usual vaguely optimistic mood before the 2ww window hits and the worrying starts! You? When are your next blood tests?

boodIe blind frog fx for your 2ww.

Tallyra · 28/04/2013 18:43

boodle unfortunately I can imagine the crappy reactions some wankers may have had. People can be bastards.

Yes, I have an entire room dedicated to sewing, with my pre dh music setup, CDs and computer all in the same place. I love it
Unfortunately when I say chocolate, I really mean carob. Got to stay away from cocoa because of migraines

BoodIeBee · 28/04/2013 19:00

Yorkie, my 2ww is over before it's begun! Spotting is already here. At least I can book my HSG in a couple of days.

Tally let's put it this way, it was rush hour on a busy A road and the only people who tried to help were me and a massively pregnant woman in the car in front.

yorkiebilb · 28/04/2013 19:04

Ahh sorry boddle didn't read properly. What a load of cr@p!!!

BoodIeBee · 28/04/2013 19:16

S'alright, Yorkie, I'm used to it by now but I do just wish I could have a little bit of time to be ignorant and hopeful. I get PMS for about 6 days in the run up, then 3 days of spotting, then 4-5 day AF, then another 2-3 days of spotting...given that I only have maximum of 27 day cycles, that's some really depressing maths.

BlindKitty · 28/04/2013 19:31

tally I love the idea of having my own room!!! Well I guess there is the nursery going spare.....

hmmm don't worry about sharing the carob haha
