The Elderberry Gluckschmerzers who sausage wang between the Sofa of Pity and the Pouffe of Possibility (thread 11)

[Bunnygirlie]

Come and join us elderly TTCers on the Sofa of Pity (SoP), Rug of Rage (RoR), the Pouffe of Possibility (PoP) or the Chaise Lounge of Limbo (CLoL) whilst trying to avoid the BubbleBath of Gloom(BoG)!

The smallprint - Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooh we are strict...please note your house may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments lol

Morning all,

boom well done on getting those applications in.

barking that is horrible! Both the poo and your colleague just leaving it. Bet that boy won't be able to forget it for a while either!

Thanks for all the emotional stories- blind yeah I had forgotten your meltdown, sorry. It makes me feel slightly less insane.

Yes to toilet paper checking.

tally I'm not surprised you're champing at the bit to get going again.

I was sick last night. Just felt rough all evening and then upchucked in the wee hours. Don't know why- guess remnants of the food poisoning/allergy whatever it was. Maybe it was a bug after all. Not looking forward to the office today!

thunder get well soon
boom good luck, fingers crossed!

No more poo incidents but one kid knocked on another staff door at 1am as he couldn't sleep so the TA told him to count to 200. 10 minutes later he was found sat in the middle of the floor with the lights on (3 others in the room) counting loudly to 200.

Hi guys, on my phone so excuse any weird typos (weirder than normal, I mean).

Charming thanks for the kind words, I get it now nice to think someone in the universe thinks of me as serene, bc most days I feel quite the opposite. Yay! I have one person fooled!!

Sorry about AF/bad sleep/vomit bugs/annoying pg announcements, including upcoming birth of royal!! I'm sure I'll cry too but will pass it off as my American sappiness rather than extreme envy.

Yes on the paper checking, which is why I'm writing - does anyone use Fertile CM? I'm sure I read about it here. I ordered some from amazon but never got in the habit of using it as the tablets don't smell that nice. Figured I'd use it this go round, and wowza!! It works. Well worth the money, if for no other reason than its made me feel really hopeful again. Been at least 6 months since I felt this optimistic!!

Have a great weekend! We're off to a party out of town, sure to be millions of babies and ill be in the corner necking Pimms!!

Hi sid. Good luck with dodging the babies .

I haven't heard of fertile cm. presumably tablets you take to add to the juices? Do you just take them mid cycle? Am intrigued...

Ooh Sid tell us more about this miracle CM thingamajobby. I've never had EWCM in my life...I want in! Especially as clomid is supposed to everything up...

*to everything up

Hello all!

Discussions on increasing fertile cm have obviously lured me back onto this thread! That or being found wandering aimlessly around mn muttering things about royal babies and brought back into the fold (thanks thunder bunny and barking for bring so lovely) I thought I'd feel better leaving the thread and going off on my own (like the littlest hobo or something) but I think I've felt worse as a result.

I've seen that some of you have got hold of the sweeties and others have got fertility treatment and appts coming up! Fx for everyone!

I've had my first fc appt where I was told my fsh/lh were done by my doctor or the wrong day so now have to be repeated. Grrr!!! Got my hsg next week. My best friend has just announced her 2nd pg after getting updiffed after 2 months and my other bf has just started trying so no doubt she'll be announcing hers soon too! Think that's all from me and the moment!

thunder sorry to hear you're still feeling tough.

Rough not tough!!! You're not a piece of meat!

Yay welcome back yorkie but boooooooo to the pg announcement!

But surely Thunder is tough, she is a thundercat after all!

sorry you are rough thunder

Yes sid tell me more tell me more

This hot weather is really doing my head in, its 30 degrees at my desk today and everything is clammy which is not really helping my pre-AF lady itch (sorry TMI but I'm the one that has to deal with it once a month so thought i'd share LOL)

No plans this weekend so i'll be in Berry HQ on the Sun Lounger of Limbo waiting for AF to start, hurry up and finish and then here we go again! I really do hate this!

Oooh yorkie welcome home! Don't like to think of you wandering the MN wastelands (just in case you missed our visualisations, I now see you as a Ribena berry with a hobo-style hankie-tied-to-stick full of your worldly goods). Sorry to hear about your far too fertile friends x

Bunny live yoghurt?

thunder are you feeling better yet? Or still just as tough?

Right. I am NOT COMING BACK until I've written another 500 words. Honest.

Welcome back yorkie, good to see you here

Thanks for asking girls, I am still feeling rough (and feeble rather than tough). Couldn't face sandwich for lunch so have bought fresh mango and a creme caramel. It's going to have to do. I keep thinking that this might be a good sign but I know damn well I'm just ill still. Damnit all.

bunny sorry about the heat and the itch. I'm in a very cool old building- still got my (summery) scarf on!

(I think of yorkie as a big blue chocolate bar thats not for girls....obvious?)

Stuck on the motorway
Welcome back yorkie!
Thunder can you just go back to bed? Sounds miserable, sorry it's still hanging around!
Yes ladies Fertile CM is a pill you take with food 3x a day that works to increase fertile cm (gotta love truth in advertising!). You're supposed to drink a lot of water (forget the recommended amount) so both together might be what does the trick, who knows. I only started taking it regularly last week, and usually only manage two tablets a day, but have been amazed at how well it has worked. I found Preseed pretty overwhelming bc the dosage is so hard to get right, but this is just like having normal amounts of your own. I think it was around 30gbp for 90 tabs on Amazon so not cheap but it's turned into one of the better TTC products/books/apps etc I've bought this far.

Also I meant to mention is bought the VIP version of FF. silly me did it from my laptop, and a different VIP subscription is required for mobile devices kind of aggravating and a little bit tight on FF's part but I guess I should've read the fine print before buying.

sid that's a very annoying ploy from FF .
boom have you written 500 words yet? .
yorkie - welcome back! .

The fun continues here. We were supposed to be back at school an hour ago but the coach broke down.... Now moving again with a coach load of hot and exhausted children .

500 down! still over 1500 to go

Hmm I think I might invest in some of this fertile cm stuff. Is it this sid? It's only £18.99 so not sure if it's the right stuff! Oh, and FF sucks for that nasty little scam!

Barking as long as nobody poos on the bus...

Thunder creme caramel and mango eh? That's a novel combo doesn't sound like cravings

Hello Berries - Its the weekend I've spent all day in a conference, so am happy to get out and find the sun shining, and also quite grateful for a day of aircon. AF still hanging out backstage.... I'm annoyed at waiting as all the signs are here. And yes, I am also a compulsive loo roll checker

bunny sorry your are hot and itchy! My office is like an oven too and I've got really annoying heat-rash this week so I feel your pain.

sid great to hear the Fertile CM thing works, I'm a massive cynic of these kind of herbal remedies. Ingredients are vitamin C, calcium, cystein and arginine, grape seed and lactobacilius acidophililus.... There is cystein in broccoli and arginine in chocolate, so I'll go with those an some yoghurt and hopefully catch all the necessary ingredients!

thunder hope you feel better for the weekend..... creme caramel and mango sounds like the kind or random stuff I eat.

Hey all, back in the same time zone at last! Although without my bag which is clearly having fun on its own somewhere in LA. off to amazon to look for magic tablets as am convinced I'm out this cycle already

Thanks all for the lovely welcome!

I quite like the thought of me as a ribena berry trying to find her mates or a MASSIVE chocolate bar! Craving chocolate now.

thunder feeling any better? when are you due to poas?!

Woman in our office was coming round trying to get people to get involved in her royal baby name sweep stake. I pretended I hadn't heard by putting my earphones in my ear. It would have been my due date tomorrow and I'm dreading the announcement. I haven't drunk in ages due to ttc. Shall I just get pissed and show myself up at the family event I'm going to tomorrow?!!

Evening

sid yuck to the motorway and the ff scammers!

yorkie YES have a drinkie!

Went to shops after work and bought a few treats as feeling grumpy that AF is on her merry little way, yummy dinner, crisps and ...... Gu puds!!!!!! Thought of you guys

Question about using something to increase fertile cm - whether that's the pills or using conceive plus it whatever- are they designed for everyone to use regardless in ttc or are they for people who don't have so much cm normally? I don't get ewcm really but there's always ahem plenty there when needed....

barking are you home yet? Sounds like a very long couple of days.

merk welcome home but sorry about the bags. Have you still given up on poas?

boom and kuma, the caramel/mango combo was actually delicious

yorkie well done on the ignoring and sorry for shitty due date to get through tomorrow.
yea feeling h a bit better thanks. Just headachey now. Af due Tuesday so guess poas after that if she doesn't show. Or if I get really sore boobs like last time. Have had af-like cramps for a few data now which is unusual for me but still thinking I'm out this cycle.

Can't actually ever imagine getting a bfp now. Ho hum.

Oh yeah sid have you considered contacting ff to explain the mistake? Some companies are surprisingly helpful if you ask...

thunder I'm home! Just woke up on the sofa while uploading photos...
yorkie thinking of you tomorrow
boom funnily enough there was a very close call on a lad desperate for a wee, but no poo. Last year, however, someone did actually poo themselves on the coach. Oh the joys!!! .

When I've woken up enough to take myself to bed I'm going to have a lovely sleep . And then a hen do tomorrow!! Which I've already decided I'm not doing sober. Definitely not pg given DP's little op this cycle so nothing to worry about and after the fc said a few drinks wasn't going to affect my fertility I've jumped headfirst off the wagon! Come join me yorkie Have a lovely .

I'm on the wine!

Pigging out this weekend before trying to lose some weight!

For those in the 2ww, according to FF the average date for a bfp is 12dpo and 80% of people who get a bfn on 11dpo do not subsequently get a bfp that cycle
Trying to make myself feel better after another bfn at 9dpo tonight

Oh merks why do you do this to yourself. Have some
