[pebble82]

oh n

[pebble82]

Ooops, that was meant to say oh no "retro". Sorry to hear AF got you.

These ics are evil.

After my tantrum yesterday I poas (ic) this morning after my temp seemed to gave gone up again (although I had a very unrestful night so might be a false reading). I got a very VERY faint line.

Not convinced though and now rubbed it so much trying to interpret it I can't post a pic as it's ruined.

Still convinced AF is on the way but will keep you posted.

[sazzlehopes]

Hey ladies just checking in with you all to say congrats to the bfps and so sorry to those that biatch got.
Mama - 7 days of spotting?!! Wtf? I hope your reflexology appointment helps sort that out a bit. Have you been to the docs about it? A few days maybe, but a whole week surely needs to be taken seriously. Passing you more creme eggs to help with it all!
Spinning, how you getting on? This thread moves so fast so I've lost it a bit. You in the 2ww?

[RetroHippy]

Pebble, I wouldn't mind so much if AF had got me, at least I'd know. Got a bit of a dodgy tummy, which is normal before AF. Nips still hurt, which isn't. Though I do get boob pain it's usually not that localised.

Feeling thoroughly pissed off. It's only cycle 2, but ov'd been off the pill since Sept and I've been so damned patient waiting for DH to be ready. I'm sure in his mind there was no way it could be difficult so he equates ttc with getting pg straight away. I've been wanting to try properly for over a year.

I've just lied to my supply agency and told them I'm busy today. I'm not. I'm spending my day off in bed. Sulking.

Sorry for the rant.

[Hazelbrowneyes]

I’m going to hop off the bus now. I’ve made the decision to stop TTC. It’s putting too much of a strain on my marriage and it’s only cycle 2! I don’t think DH and I are on the same page with this for a variety of reasons that we can’t even talk about without it descending into an argument. I can’t cope with that and I can’t put a child through it either.

I’m heartbroken. Not quite sure how I’ll get through the day at work.

I have my fingers crossed that every single one of you get your BFPs soon xx

[pebble82]

Retro I just want to be able to give you a hug. We sound so similar in situation. I told my DP last night I'm probably not pg and his response was "oh well, there's no major rush." hmph! Why are men so blahsay?!

I think a day sulking is fine. Just try not to be too downhearted. Sulk, cry, deep breath then back in the dtd game.

And as they say, you're not out till AF gets you. X

[pebble82]

Lots of love Hazel. Good luck to you and DH.

[Gingerbreadlady1]

retro, jessica, this sucks. I too got a bfn , really thought it might be positive,, will wait to weekend if witch stays away.

[rambini]

So sorry to hear that hazel. I wish I could offer some sort of helpful advice. All I can offer is and a hope that a little time off the bus helps ur marriage get back on track.
Xx

[Gingerbreadlady1]

hazel so so sorry. Hoping time off and you 2 will be good as new. It does put so much strain on a relationship it's unbelievable. Be nice to yourself , and x

[RetroHippy]

Oh Hazel, . I really feel for you. I hope too that some time not ttc will help.

I know it's easy to say 'just don't try not to get of' but I've realised that if I'm not not trying, them I'm trying. If that makes any sense! DH is also being a bit disinterested, but I do know he tries to distance himself from getting his hopes up about things, so hoping it's just that.

And I had to work seriously hard to get him to DTD the day after ov. He doesn't have the same urgency.

[rambini]

I am off work sick today so am also having a miserable sulky day in bed retro. Feeling guilty leaving my class during assessment week but I guess it cant be helped and I am pretty sure no one would want me sharing germs!
Being off work gives me so much more time to obsess though which is not good and buy loads more pregnancy tests off the internet. BFP due 12th Feb. Feels like forever away!

[SnowBells]

So sorry hazel. But I'm with you - TTC is really testing our marriage, too. I find that as a woman, you feel really lonely if your DH isn't 100% committed. It may be because we are now used to be able to do things on our own. TTC is one of the only times I actually need DH's input!

Modern work life also does not help.

[RetroHippy]

Ginger, Jessica, Pebble. I'm having for breakfast. Join me?

[Gingerbreadlady1]

I second that retro, may throw in , 15 months I've jumped thru every imaginable hoop, been poked, prodded and examined. Taken millions (no exaggeration) of supplements, changed my diet and shagged on demand. Still no bfp!

[snowbells] I think you're 100% correct, I'm a bit of a control freak & the fact that this is out of my control is driving me nuts!

[MrsExtraOrdinary]

Hazel I'm so sorry, but how brave you are to actually stand up and say now is not a good time. It's not forever. Hopefully just a blip! Babies and pg do put a strain on relationships so you are absolutely doing the right thing. You may be jumping back in board in a few months time, keep hold of that! Is this cake? It might well be required!

[RetroHippy]

Shame there's no smiley for

[missmrsmummy]

Aw no, sorry so many of you are feeling rubbish today or have got AF symptoms/bfn (sad). Such a difficult time.

I'm a but frustrated as I haven't got my smiley yet (cd16). It's been cd15/16 the last 2 cycles so where is it?!

I'm beginning to think that if we TTC half-heartedly (i.e. Not follow the smep/koala to the letter) then we will know we didn't try hard enough, therefore reducing our expectation of a BFP, therefore resulting in a bfp...?

Ladies, I present to you:

The 'sperm-sidles-up-to-egg-at-a-party-and-chats-her-up-nonchalantly' plan!

You following?!

Here's to not trying!

[bellaboo88]

AW I'm sorry hazel, give it a month & see how you feel

Still bfn here with my last ic....15dpo, cd32. One test left, not buying anymore (because they're so cheap and available, they make me a nutter)

Had enough now, want AF to get a clean slate...after next cycle, I'm having a couple of months break :-(

[Gingerbreadlady1]

I like this plan, I'm staying away from all the hanging upside down from the chandeliers (I have no chandeliers) after sex (instead of during ) turning three times, chanting stuff as it will freak us both out and put on too much pressure. Same reason I'm not temping. Doing opk's from day 10 and on clomid, that's enough for now.

Been 15 sodding months!!! Think we'd never want to dtd if we get any more prescriptive!!

[Gingerbreadlady1]

You in for 1 more month bella or hoping off for a bit after AF? I don't have that option , in the over 35 bracket so no time

[missmrsmummy]

High five, Ginger!

[bellaboo88]

Just one more go...got a family joke about Xmas babies, not tempting fate, last family baby arrived Xmas eve to much amusement.

Mum would prefer me to have a spring baby anyway.

Yeah I understand ginger, id do the same if I were you! X
