This is my fourth cycle too and I was devastated when af arrived this week. My lp is still only seven days so been finding it tough. Not to mention pretending to be happy about dh's brother's girlfriend's pregnancy!!

englishteacher78 · 20/10/2013 19:27

It's hard to be happy for others, isn't it?
My best work friend is adopting this half term - it's easier to be happy for her. What was tough was the 'shower'. Several babies present and lots of 'you'll be next' comments! At least I knew I wasn't pregnant then so I could have plenty of champagneGrin

VJONES1985 · 20/10/2013 19:30

Yes, I've got the baby shower in December and am dreading it.

Thisisme Sorry, I don't know but if you dtd eod you should be covered anyway :)

ThisIsMeNow · 20/10/2013 19:34

Oh, I can only mange weekends, I'm getting in such a flap incase we 'miss' it. Guess there's nothing more we can do not like I can bottle his sperm and use it when he's away

I really hate the "when's the next one then?" I know it's meant well but it drives me mad. I feel like saying 'well we're shagging as often as possible but Af came this month so it was all bloody pointless anyway'.
Hate feeling that dtd is pointless, it's meant to be fun!

If I comment on Facebook about being tired/emotional I am burdened with loads of 'you must be pregnant' comments. No, I'm not! I've just had an awful period and my performance management review. That's why I'm tired and emotional!

VJONES1985 · 20/10/2013 19:38

Sorry, I did read that you can only dtd at weekends so don't know why I said that!

Ha ha! I know exactly what you mean - yesterday I was helping my sil choose ribbon to make the baby show invitations and we were talking about how the baby was conceived after a few pills were accidentally missed. I said, "well, I've 'forgotten' the pill for three months so far and nothing has happened!". Cue awkward silence...

ThisIsMeNow · 20/10/2013 19:44

I know what you mean, friends keep asking if I want to tell them anything "yes, I'm fat because I've eaten lots of cake and I look like crap because dd hasn't slept for the past month." then give them this look Hmm especially as they've all fallen pregnant accidentally.

I'm not normally this crackers Confused

No not stretchy VJ Shock ?!?!?! what does this mean lol

Im counting first day of bleeding on mc as CD1 which was the 4th oct...so now I guess CD 16?

lucyfluff · 20/10/2013 19:48

No ive got that wrong havnt I? arghhhh confused.com!!!

VJONES1985 · 20/10/2013 19:50

Lucy, I would get dtd just in case!

Thisisme, I'm in the same position as you - friends all conceived accidentally or v quickly. Hence I'm left wondering if there's actually something wrong with me? Well, I guess a short lp is part/all of the problem! :(

ThisIsMeNow · 20/10/2013 20:04

I can't complain, we got dd quickly and this is early days for us really. I'm just impatient and having spent so many years trying not to get pregnant I don't think you can help but worry when it doesnt just happen. I just love that I can have a rant and be totally honest on here!

OP posts:
VJONES1985 · 20/10/2013 20:20

Yeah, it's nice to have a rant on here. Really hope my lp sorts itself out and everything goes to plan :)

ThisIsMeNow · 20/10/2013 20:20

I hope it does too. Fx and some Wine for tonight Grin

VJONES1985 · 20/10/2013 20:23

Cheers. I've got some Prosecco on the go :) Shame I've got work in the morning though!

grobagsforever · 20/10/2013 21:20

My colleague who sits next to me at work is 23 weeks PG, since deciding to TTC I now have serious bump envy. I'm bored, is it November yet? No Wine for me as on the off chance I am PG then implantation could be today! Although I don't think there is any blood transfer until at least week 5, but can't remember......I'm still eating soft cheese etc though, until I get a BFP Grin

VJONES1985 · 20/10/2013 21:33

Since starting ttc I have seen baby bumps everywhere!!

Sparky321 · 20/10/2013 23:02

Hi all please can I reserve a seat on what I hope will be the lucky bus? We are ttc baby 3 after a 8 year wait currently on cycle 2. Hoping for a positive result on 9 Nov. just wanted to say hi and good luck everybody x

Looks like we may actually get a bit closer to the SMEP this month only missed the first day Grin

Owlie84 · 21/10/2013 09:02

Morning all! What lovely weather we're having in the South West.. yuck!
Reading back a bit, I just wanted to add that I get very peed off / envious at the sheer amount of my fb friends who seem to fall pg accidentally - since my dh and I got married, we've had the pointed looks from our parents as if to say 'blimey, what's taking them so long!'. Very frustrating! It's not like we're not trying!!

I'm not sure if Nov will be a lucky month for me or not. I didn't get a very good line on any OPKs, but i've had a bit of cm when i estimate that I'm supposed to. I have just gone on blind faith that a strongish line was good enough. It won't be though! And still the performance issues are there. We've resorted to the 'DIY' method of him, ahem, helping himself, and then popping it in when he's ready (way TMI, sorry!! I have no one else to talk to!!) I'm not sure if that's going to be effective though - Will his little swimmers fall short? Who knows...it's a waiting game!

Still, it's monday, it's pitch black, and it's pissing down!

(sorry for the essay!)

Choccywoccydodah · 21/10/2013 09:10

Owlie, sorry you did make me laugh with the DIY method. I know it's not a laughing matter, but it did make me chuckle Smile
Good luck for this month. So many of my FB are pregnant this year it's untrue!

Sparrowlegs248 · 21/10/2013 09:11

Morning all. I am officially here, after a false start on wednesday, af has finally arrived 2 days late. So my bfp needs changing please? To 16th nov. (i added it when i though af was early on weds)

Maybe just my normally short 25 day cycles lengthening. Could this be as a result of taking pregnacare do you think?

I put 'feeling sick' on facebook. And got the preggo comments. Nope. Friend has managed to have her dp snip reversed, get upduffed and give birth since my last depo jab!

Owlie84 · 21/10/2013 09:36

Glad i made you chuckle Choccy! It makes us laugh too, i'm glad we're kind of keeping a sense of humour about it, or we'll both be sobbing!

Aw Notta, I'm really sorry about af, I hope you're feeling ok. And bloody hell, falling pg after dp get the snip reversed?!!

lucyfluff · 21/10/2013 09:43

Made me laugh too owlie!! I hope those swimmers get in there successfully for you :) and it's pissing down here in the south too :(

nota that's so rubbish, teasing you with late AF what a bitch...come and have a cuppa with us on this bus :)

PinkHat1 · 21/10/2013 09:48

Can I please join the November bus? It has been a while since I was on! I am ttc#1 cycle 5, bfp due around nov 8. So far I've been trying the laid back approach of "let's just see what happens" and clearly that is not working for us!! So this cycle I have started temping and may start using OPKs too. I'm not leaving anything to chance from now on!! Hope everyone has had a good weekend? Who is next to test?
