You know what you should do Twinks, get OH to stop off somewhere on the way home, or go out, and get lovely Gü pudding or some Ben and Jerry's and treat you.
And don't forget, you work, your bits are the complicated parts. No one actually knows what a good sperm count for a man is. So long as he is not firing complete blanks then there is still a chance.

Fabuluce · 25/07/2013 17:56

Definitely test tomorrow Twinks. And keep taking your meds. There are reasons why the professionals don't test until 14-16 days afterwards - please don't give up hope yet xxx

Happy birthday for yesterday Nobeer!!! So sorry I missed it yesterday ?? xx

nobeer · 25/07/2013 18:19

Thanks fab! Which day is yours?

Fabuluce · 25/07/2013 18:25

5th August - I'm supposed to be in the Lake District on hols then but it depends on how all this goes - we might end up with transfer as late as then - tsk. Baby growing is most important :)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 25/07/2013 18:26

Nobeer, I completely missed it? Happy birthday Wine

Wimwom · 25/07/2013 18:31

twinks - how you holding up hon? You are quite early - don't stop any of your meds till you know for sure. Big hugs.

Happy late bday nobeer. X

twinklestar2 · 25/07/2013 18:51

I'm not holding up very well to be honest.

nobeer · 25/07/2013 19:08

twinks are you on your own? Is your DH home, or have you got any friends who can pop round and give you a real life hug? Try not to feel despondent, and try another test in the morning when you've got nice strong wee Smile!

twinklestar2 · 25/07/2013 19:12

I stupidly called my husband and he was at work. I feel really bad now. He sounded so sad.

I have no one to talk to in real life. The only friend I know called me selfish last time we discussed it. And I can't deal with another argument with her.

Wimwom · 25/07/2013 19:19

Don't feel bad for calling him twink - you are in this together after all. What time will he get home? Is there anything we can think of to get you through to when he gets in? Please don't lose heart yet - so easy for me to say. What do you feel like doing?

twinklestar2 · 25/07/2013 19:26

He'll be home soon.

There's nothing anyone can say or do. I'm in so much pain.

PramelaAndherson · 25/07/2013 19:28

I am so sorry, Twinks, and I know you won't believe me but come Monday you will have absolutely got your head around this and the pain will have receded. In the meantime cry as much as you need to and know we are here. Please know this is not the end. Big hugs.

twinklestar2 · 25/07/2013 19:30

It feels like the end. I can't stop crying.

OP posts:
twinklestar2 · 25/07/2013 19:31

I don't know how to make this pain stop or how to make a baby.

OP posts:
nobeer · 25/07/2013 19:35

She doesn't sound like much of a real friend to me, twinks. I don't think you're being selfish, you're going through something sad and painful. I'm glad DH'll be home soon, I think you need a real hug. I hope the counsellor gets through to you in the morning. Do listen to Pramela too, she knows what she's on about.

Pipbin · 25/07/2013 19:39

Twink we are here with you.
I'm so lucky I have loads of friends I can talk to about it. I can't imagine what it must be like to go through this without that support.

twinklestar2 · 25/07/2013 20:32

My husbands here. I've never seen him cry before :(

I rung a friend of mine who I know has been TTC for a while. She was lovely and it was good to talk to someone.

Twinks, I hope you have your DP with you now or very soon. I'm so sorry you're feeling so low tonight but don't give up.

(Sorry if you don't remember me; I'm an elderberry. X)

Bunnygirlie · 25/07/2013 20:39

Oh twink sending you lots of love x

happylass · 25/07/2013 20:40

Hi Twink another Berry just popping in to say hello we are all thinking of you and offer you a hand to hold. Difficult as it must be there is still some hope. Sending lots of love.

happylass · 25/07/2013 20:40

Pramela don't I know you too?!

tedmundo · 25/07/2013 20:57

winkle and mr winkle .. I am having a bit of a cry for you too tonight. I am sending you much love and strength. This is not, I repeat NOT, over. Lick those wounds but come out fighting.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 25/07/2013 20:59

Thinking of you Twinks x

Aquarius1 · 25/07/2013 21:04
