Making the most of the last days of Summer, but keeping a weather eye out for Autumn, and looking forward to all of those outstanding BFPs!

its going fine thanks keep no obvious side effects. They're going to phone me in a couple of weeks to tell me when to start stimming, which reminds me I really ought to go to the pharmacy and get the rest of my drugs!
How are things with you? Are you missing Thailand now its starting to get a bit colder and wetter? And are you anywhere near ready for Kip's arrival? :o

That's good beedle; pleased you're feeling ok.
I'm fine thank you - kind of strangely still enjoying the cold weather, and opportunity to get wrapped up. But then it's not properly cold yet, is it... I am missing the easily available delicious cheap food from thailand, and the maid (!), more than the weather, that's for sure. We are a little bit ready for Kip though not mentally but hopefully have another 9 weeks or so, but guess you never know. I have another 5.5 weeks of work though, since I'm stopping at 36 weeks.

pomme did you use to be someone else?

Hello again. I came back to join you all just as life got in the way. We've had a bunch of colds recently and it's hardly even colds season yet. Still, AF left a couple of days ago and we managed to dtd last night second time in about a year, poor mr stacks. Going to try dtd eod and go back to bbt charting - I found it makes me less crazy to chart, as I know when ov happens and when AF will turn up.

So sorry to hear so many of you are having to do IVF. We were threatened with it just as I got pg with T. I'm wishing you all enormous luck with lashings of brooking thrown in for good measure. Particularly thinking of you just now beedle.

Hi pomme fancy seeing you here :)

Waves for everyone else.

I'm feeling all left out with all these old brookers going round again but can't ttc while at college :(

Thanks beedles, it's interesting to see how many IUI/IVF people are here now. Brookers have always been a motley crew with 'ishoos' but there werent any IVF-ers first time round. Fingers and toes crossed for you all.

Keepit - no, have always been plain old pomme.

Can't believe we are ttc no 3. Especially after we had an abortion 3-4 months ago. This year is '13' all right! Anyway, dtd last night (cd 5 so just a warm up) so seems to be really happening...

Glad to see some other second time brookers here too though :)

Hello everyone, so sorry I haven't been around - my head is currently wrecked what with starting my new job and finally living with mr nurse. It's all quite hard work, but am trying to stay positive and persevering.

How was the meet up? Any goss??

I've come to the conclusion I'm probably not going to get preggers any time soon (we're hardly even getting down to it as we're like ships passing in the night and either too exhausted, or too pissed off with eaxh other).Am tetempted to go back on the pill, as at least then I won't get my hopes up and have to deal with the disappointment.

I feel very sorry for myself pretty rotten just now, and think I'd be a terrible mum at the moment even if we did manage to make a baby. I can't even manage to be a good anything at the moment. Anyway, sorry for whingeing. I'm going to take myself off for a sleep, and try to wake up a better version of myself.

Oh dear nurse! Could you afford a holiday? Sounds like you just need a bit of quality time with each other to me! You've had lots of big changes lately so it's not surprising you might feel stressed atm

Don't give up hope nurse you've got a new job and a new home, its not surprising is stressful. and just because you're "ttc" it doesn't mean you have to have sex every day week, month I'm sure the others will tell you they've had the odd month with no action (or maybe its just us ) it doesn't mean you have to go back to contraception. Have a little break from thinking about it all ( you will still wonder as AF draws near if you might have managed it, I don't know how you stop that). And I'm sure you'll be a wonderful mum :)

Oh Nurse lovely. We have all had moments like that. Sounds like the new job is taking its toll on you. And you have upped sticks and moved. It's all happened at once! It is most definitely a culture shock when you start living together 24/7. But you will fall into a routine. And you learn to ignore them after a while . And you will be an amazing mum. Of this I am sure. Hope the power of sleep has worked its magic xxx

nurse the first year after mr honk and i got married was the worst even though we'd lived together for two years before that. it gets better as you find your groove.

and the mere fact that you are thinking about the type of mum you would be tells us all that you would be a cracking mum. i still think i'm f-ing it up most of the time but my boys still love me and i love them so you'll be just fine when it happens for you

off to go smack a rat on my private smacking run for you all....

Thanks ladies. You are all so kind - how did I ever get through these dark days before I found you (prozac, that's how). I feel a bit better after a nap and a scone, a brownie and 3 bags of crisps. Need to have a good chat with mr nurse, but not sure when we'll get time.

Hope you are all well x

Sugar is the future Nurse. My god, I could eat a scone now. Please say you had clotted cream and jam on it. Was it fruit? Or plain? These are important questions x

Sounds like someone is getting their appetite back Maybe? You just eat whatever you want now, send Mr M to the shops!!

Unfortunately, all I've managed is a yoghurt today Boo. But I am obsessed by other peoples food . Might crack open a tin of tomato soup though later

Don't know if we can endorse that sort of reckless behaviour Maybe

Fear not Boo I'm having a glass of nesquik instead

Nowt wrong with a nesquik Maybe

Yes I'm still lurking around!! Sorry to not post too often. And sorry to see things are a bit hard at the moment nurse. I think beedles advice was spot on - don't start on the contraception again but give yourself a break from actively "trying" and see what happens. Moving and job changes are stressful times but I'm sure everything will settle down soon enough

I'm feeling a bit down at the moment too. We got an offer accepted on a house for the 4th time at the beginning of the summer, and for the 3rd time the buyer decided not to sell! We've been so unlucky, especially as we're in a great position due to renting at the moment. So the house hunt begins again... Plus I'm fed up in my job but struggling to find anything else. I've been looking for about 6 months now with no luck. And today is the start of cycle 11 ttc . Oh well, as D:ream once said, things can only get better!

Waves to all the old/new brookers!

Actually, would you mind taking the abortion discussion somewhere else - like the FB group so I don't have to read it. I left the group as I didn't want to read about that kind of stuff whilst dealing with teh failure of my first IVF cycle I'd hate to leave this thread now.

You're quite right Beedle and I know you're not the only one who avoided FB for exactly the same reason :( I'm pro choice, but there is a time and a place to discuss it, and where there are people having ivf/iui or any fertility issue is probably not it!

Thanks sparks hope you didn't think I was being rude
