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

Ps - at Boomdog 2's antics!!

Happy how did you know the temp in the car? This seems a stupid question but I always thought the temp shown in a car was the external temp

Ugh it is just so hot, too hot for me! It's been 32 in our office all week as Aircon broken, it's been vile!

Just dropped DH in town, he's on a stag do, now having and something to eat,considering watching The Notebook or The Time Travellers Wife, probably not the best idea!

Hope you've all had a nice day. I had a nice afternoon out in the sunshine drinking and now at a comedy event but had to come on here and have a rant (apologies!) first comedian on asks the audience whether we have children, doesn't get much response, so then starts referring to us as a baren audience and spends the rest of it talking about his kids!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr.....I need more wine! There is no escape! Sorry rant over!

Ugh yorkie how rotten!

A couple of weeks for us still, Happy; we've got a really late end of term thus year. We've got a trip too but it's going to involve a lot of walking so not looking forward to the heat and the moaning children!!! Hope yours is a nice one though!

Watching an old OBEM, bloody fertile 20 year olds grrrrrrrrr

Hello all,

Excellent news from merkin ! Please could you recount the dtd and ov stats for me to study?? Really hoping it sticks x

Lovely to see boodle (whi is a beagle wearing glasses), but sorry you've had such crap medical advice. Hoping the clomid does the trick.

yorkie good idea to avoid the news today. I've been doing the same. Will be cancelling my fb account this week too, but have to log on in order to do that and am bracing myself for baby and bump pics to hit me while I'm trying not to look.

bunny how are you now? Step away from obem! Charming cat #1 is sending you a 'mruuup'. They help me a lot.

Had a lovely day at home in the garden and a bit of shopping. The metformin makes me feel really sick if I don't take it while I'm eating, or if I eat high fat foods I between. Had some lovely rocky road ealier and couldn't et my dinner, felt so bad. So, haven't taken my third dose. Booo.

Hey cats

I'm ok thanks, I'll be ok in a day or two, the first few days when the hope has gone are just rotten aren't they!

Sorry to hear your drugs are giving you side effects.

A big purr back at cat #1, mine wouldn't come in tonight so had to chill out on my own :-(

Charming cat #2 is snoring......silly thing. Well, I'm hoping that the drugs are having a positive effect, but thanks for the sympathy. I totally understand how you're feeling. It can get you at the core and quite unexpectedly at times. Wouldn't it be great if we were all instadiffers? Want baby. Conceive baby. Carry baby. Have baby.

Cat #2 has just been sick. It's the third time this week. Should I call vet tomorrow? She's fine in herself, is eating and drinking, and she is sometimes sick after eating too quickly. But this seems more than that. Overreacting?

Cats is your cat eating grass to make itself sick? Also worms can make cats sick. Tbh 3 times in a week wouldn't worry me but vets is perhaps better safe than sorry
Which stats were you after? The frequency of sex ones?

aww cats, that's crap about the drugs making you feel ill. no extra icecream for you next time! and sending cuddles to cat #2.

Merk yes, I'm pretty sure it's af as we have hardly touched each other this month waiting for hysteroscopy later this month (also due to stupid hours dh works).

Will check in properly later when I'm on the computer not the app and don't have to remember who I'm replying to in my head, just wanted to say hello Boodle - we seem to be continuing our similar ttc journey! My fc said there was no such thing as luteal phase defect and gave me clomid saying they probably wouldn't work but I could have them if I wanted them. I'll be starting a few days after you - AF should be arriving within a week. It would be great if we both got our bfp next cycle!! .
Speaking of which, congrats merk !

I was at a hen do yesterday. Got in at 2am which is very rare for me, so a bit baffled as to why I'm wide awake now!!! Two pg women on hen do, another who just gave birth to her 3rd and the others confidently talking about how many children they are going to have. I just kept thinking please don't get pg before me .

Morning!

Question, how long from Gp saying they would refer you did you get your letter?

Morning. Can't help I'm afraid bunny but my motto would be hassle them on the phone weekly til it arrives!
Not sure if anybody is interested, but lots of fertility trials here that they're recruiting for and quite a lot of them get you free / faster treatment

Wrong link, try this one

Yep think I will get DH to ask when he pops in for blood test tomorrow, they are checking for coeliac as it can affect sperm count! Who knew!

Morning!

Bunny how long is the proverbial piece of string! Agree with Merk, hassle them or phone the fertility clinic and ask if they've made you an appointment yet.

Tally this is for you Sewing Rules
I'm not getting sidetracked while doing essay. Honest.

Merk off to see what I'm eligible for...

Hope all you other berries are enjoying this sunny Sunday!

Hey bunny Our doc said she would refer mid May and we had our first appt 01 July. I can't remember when we got our letter though but it was quicker then we were told. How long have you been waiting for?

Morning everyone, I had a late night too but thankfully no bumps to avert my gaze from. barking I totally understand that mantra- I am just holding my breath before one of my friends announces pg #2 or #3 and I will be so sad.

cats why not just ring the vet and ask for advice. They may advise you to wait it out a bit longer. If she's eating, drinking, pooing and seems ok in herself then it might just be something really minor. Sorry the drugs are making you feel poorly though.

As for me- positive opk (ic) this morning. Good sign? (I just wanted to pee on something, ok?!)

merk this is the best god-damn news I've heard all week!!! Remind me how long you've been ttc? Isn't it funny how you get pg after a break?! Hmmm

bunny I love obem! Maybe it's like self harming myself but I just can't seem to stop until the series end do get annoyed with the instadiffers though and am quite convinced I'd do a 100% job at motherhood than they would, actually given the chance

So in my news, we went to Blackpool for my friend's bday party. There are some right 'states' staying in the room next door..vile, loud women on a hen weekend. One of them knocked on our door to ask me to put her belly button ring in!!! Gross!!!! She was all clammy as well!!! Then...asked my dh to check I'd done it properly!!! The best bit was when we overheard her telling her mates that my dh was 'well fit'!!!! Ah, only in Blackpool!!!

Ok just dr googled it and I see it doesn't really mean anything. Need to get my head out of the clouds! and back to the shitty realities of life eh

Thunder you're in the 2ww aren't you?? Every time I get a positive OPK in the 2ww I get a positive preg test 1 to 2 days later... 3 times now. Other cycles I've not had a +Ive OPK or bfp in the 2ww
