Finally going for tests

[Viewofhedges]

We've been married for 3 years, off contraception for all 3, finally going for our first tests. He's going first. We're doing this on the NHS so have a long wait even for the test and finally got a date for late September. I was made redundant a year ago and am trying to set up as a freelancer - so am at home FAR too much (ie all the time) staring at the hedge and thinking too much. I don't want to think too much. Anyone else out there also on their own too much of the time and trying not to think? It gets very lonely. No work = no spare money for going out and we're rural so even going for a coffee is car/parking / etc. I'm 37 and a half. There is the sound of a very loud ticking clock in our empty house. I think I'm just reaching out for company. Would love to know if there are any others in a similar position. x

Hi Viewofhedges [waves]

I know what you mean! I also have too much time too think (AKA googleing too much and spending more time than I should in Mumsnet). We just moved to a new town for DP's work and I don't have a job at the moment.

I'll be 37 in October and we've been TTC for 9 months. Yesterday we had our first visit with the gyne nurse, so now the next step is to get all the tests done.

By the way, during the transvaginal ultrasound the nurse found outs that I have a pinhole cervix, which means the entrance is tiny. She said not to worry, that swimmers are even tinier, but I never heard about it and I'm very well read in this matter . Havey you ever heard anything about it?

Do you have a bike? My bike is really helping me a lot to get out of the house and take the TTC subject out of my head without spending money (if you have one, of course).

Good luck with the freelance business!

And good luck with the tests, of course!
