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

Tally please keep your chill down there, I'm wanting full blown sunshine tomorrow!

Am having loads of brown CM tonight (figure we're past having to announce TMI by now!). Have read loads of threads where people got their BFP after something similar but I think this might be the start of AF, 4 days early. Therefore for 2 cycles in a row my LP will have dropped from 12 days to 10/9 I know some of you have a short LP, any tips?

Morning all and welcome back Yorkie
Merks my pre OV temps are usually around 36.5 and post OV around 37 but they are sometimes way above or below that. Could your temps be higher because the weather is so much warmer?
Cd15 here and no sign of OV despite a positive OPK a few days back. Am guessing its because I've not been well. Had one occasion where I'd been on antibiotics and I OVd late on cd16. If its gonna happen hoping it holds off until DP gets back tomorrow as last DTD on Tuesday so doubt there'll be any swimmers still hanging around from then. Bloody typical!
What's everyone up to on this gorgeous day? Predicted to be 30 degrees plus here so heading off to the gym before it gets too hot. Have a good one all!

No tips I'm afraid Merkin, I thought the vit b was working for me as my LP went up to 10 days on the cycle I started taking it, but I was having a grumpy 'what's the point in even trying' cycle so wasn't very good at taking it everyday. Then was surprised my LP increased to 10 days (and obviously was convinced I was pg when I went past 8dpo) so I took it religiously every day for the following cycle but it only pulled it out to 9 days. I was intending to try angus castus next but I have clomid for next cycle anyway.
The stupid consultant at the fc said there was 'no such thing' as a short LP anyway...
Not heard from Boodle in ages, she should have also seen the consultant by now.

Barking I was just wondering about Boodle too. Not seen her in a while.

Morning all!

Boiling here, my fingers have swelled up into fat little sausages. Been for a doggy yomp already and the muddy beasts are now locked in the garden, Boomdog II just broke the catflap by shoving his fat head through it. Not annoying, nonono. Now to crack on with finishing this sodding diss off..

Indeed, where IS boodle?

Merk any update?

Morning peeps!

How are we all today?

DH has gone out for the morning and will be out tonight getting slaughtered (last one before he starts to cut back) so I will be pottering today, got a friend of a friend round who I know is struggling TTC her second after a mc so I may chat to her about things!

boodle boodle where are you?!?!?

Morning all. Thanks all for the comments about today.

Christ it's warm and I'm still in bed.

merks my temps have gone up pre and post too recently and I've put it down to the warmer weather.

I'm going to avoid all news today. Heading off into London in a bit to meet DH's family then going to see some comedy tonight. Drinking wine is high on the agenda today I reckon. What are you all up to?

avoiding new sounds good!
The chill has disappeared and I have managed to partially fry Tallydog on a short walk. He has a lame leg so trying not to throw anything for him to chase is a nightmare. he seems happy enough now though, collapsed on the shady bit of the patio. he'll move to the sun again soon. I however can't cope with summer Nd have ANOTHER headache. 8 migraines in 30 days and now a sun headache.
how are you now thunder?

Morning all,

Thanks for asking tally I'm much better. Headache gone and no vomiting thank goodness. Not feeling hopeful that af will stay away tho damnit.

boom you'd better be careful waving those sausages around with all these dogs here?

yorkie wine sounds like a great idea. So does filling your day up with fun distractions. Have a good day and keep cool.

merk 10dpo is acceptable for ib as far as I understand. Does af usually start with brown spotting?

happy hold onto that egg til at least tomorrow!

I'm loving this proper summer. Wearing dresses and flip flops and being able to sit outside. Ahhhhhhh.

Enjoy the wine yorkie

Not a good start to my day, DH has gone out, just come downstairs and greeted by the head of a small mammal and a pile of cat vom so gagged my way through clearing that up. My visitor has also had to cancel.

Now AF cramps are setting in, my mood is slumping and I think I'm going to cry

No bunny!! You need to turn this around immediately.

Take some paracetamol and get in contact with some other lovely people and get yourself out for lunch or something straight away. And add in a little treat if you can afford it x

I have just dipped a digi. There's a second (v pale) line on an IC (that OH can barely see). Don't hold much hope for digi yet tho as IMO they're not as sensitive as a IC

Bloody hell the digi says 1 to 2 weeks. Sorry if I ruin your day. Am praying for all of you to get the same x

Bloody hell indeed merks i am well [jealous] but so chuffed for a fellow berry, hope it sticks x

Or even doh

Never had a digi positive before so I hope so too. Have done a weird little dance with OH. So weird as I laid awake til 4am this morning thinking about it and was pretty certain this morning it would be a +ive

Wow fantastic merk!!! Hooray! Certainly doesn't ruin my day- am only pleased when a berry gets a bfp!!

Wonderful news x x

And as for you bunny

Well?

I'm so sorry I'm AWOL at the moment but I have had to put my head right down and survive until the end of term when I won't have to be confronted by FOUR pregnant tummies every single day. My class are kicking off every single day, even the nice ones and I just don't seem to have time for anything. I think I need out of teaching.

I've been checking in and keeping tabs late at night when I get into bed, but I'm always too tired (and fuzzy eyed without my lenses in) to comment. I'm very pleased for you, Merk, hope it's a sticky one. As for me, I'm 7 dpo and waiting for AF to roll in by mon so that I can start my first clomid cycle. I'll hopefully be back with you all properly come summer hols. X

Ooh merk you haven't spoilt my day. You give me hope that it might happen to me one day. All my fx for you for a sticky.

Thanks Boodle. FX the clomid does it for you. I was/am getting to the end if my tether with pregnant women everywhere too

bunny I agree with thunder you need to get out somewhere. If I had my way I'd stay in bed all day but I know that isn't going to do me any good today so out I go. You need to do the same me thinks.

thunder glad to hear you're feeling a bit better.

Hi boodle! Glad to see you're still around but I'm sorry it's been a tough time. Did you ever get to the bottom of the thyroid story?

thunder well I've had some drugs like a good girl
