# # # #STATS LIST # # # #

Another March bus for us chatty lot! No religion or politics but feel free to bitch away about life/DH/work/too much sex/not enough sex.

Remember to update us with your changes in stats in a separate post with lots of #### to signify an update.

Let's get our BFPs!!!

Thanks spinning hope you are enjoying your weekend too.

Juney! Don't listen to those ladies. They are exhausted - they don't know what they are saying!!! X

Haha purds yeah not as detailed as that but close! X

Gosh all these high powered lawyers! I am in communications, which is chiefly farting about

I have just been to meet my friend's 11 day old daughter. She is tiny and utterly perfect and slept curled on my chest and now my heart hurts.

Abfab, goodness that's a shit long cycle!

Genni, sorry I forgot about your bfp! How are you feeling, have you been peeing on lots more sticks and have you told your dh?

Ladies I am on CD15 (26 day cycle usually). We DTD CD5,6,8,10,11,12,13 and I was planning today but DH has toothache :( I think I ov CD12 or very early CD13 (based on CM drying up) but wanted to do today just in case it was later. Have we done enough or should I prepare myself for not having a real chance this month? Really worried I have stopped too early.

Night you'll be fine to pick up where you left off tomorrow. The egg lives UP to 12-48 hours. sounds like you have got a good start, don't stress (easier said than done I know)

24 hours not 48. Fucking vodka.

Thanks Glittery disaster averted though as DH has taken painkillers and now decided he is up to it tonight and tomorrow morning! Think that should safely cover it :) Sorry for me posts. Hope that everyone else is well?

The weather here today has been amazing, really hope you have all had the same and been able to enjoy it :)

We went to see some potential houses for our hopefully soon to be family and have decided to apply for one, just have to hope no one has got in before us!

Oh, Eskimo, how I wish your dad's motto regarding education were true. We can't talk politics any more so I'll zip it, except to say the rich will always get the best education - regardless of whether they are thick or not - and will end up being hedge fund managers or our political leaders

Cariad, MC EDD's are tough, but I hope yours is a turning point in terms of fresh hope and that you get your BFP soon

Glittery, your posts always make me laugh, especially yesterday's that claimed your mn username should be ilovecockandballsacksandmainliningneatvodkawhilstteabagging

Strawb, welcome, love. I loves me puns an' all

Been weeping on my mum's shoulder this afternoon about my desperation for another nipper and she admitted that she and my dad worry that I am 'too weary; too old' to cope with another. I pointed out that she was 46 when she more or less brought up my sister's tots from birth (she went back to work six weeks after the birth). Mind you, there is four years between her daughters, but my point still stands that it is perfectly possible to raise two little tots in your forties - and my mum did it. I swear I am not going to get a sibling for Nancy unless either one of my (divorced) parents cough up a few thousand from my fecking inheritance so I can go and have IVF in the fecking Czech

Night... I wouldn't worry! Sounds like you have definitely done enough!

Night. Sounds like you are on it. Give one last go tomorrow for luck if you feel better.

Ladies, I need to lose weight, prob about 2 stone. Thinking of stopping ttc (very begrudgingly) for a while to address this. Is this sensible? I am torn as I dont know how long it's going to take to get preggo (now on cycle 3) and don't want to lose 6 months of trying time.

Victoria, tell your MIL to put a shitting sock in it or I will send round one of my contacts of evil repute. Anyway, she should thank her lucky stars that her son managed to snaffle a beautiful and funny brainbox scientist. They don't grow on trees, ungrateful woman.

Purdey... I hope you are OK? Have you asked your parents or are they not taking any hints. It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job with Nancy, and you will raise two brilliantly because you are in your 40's, not in spite of it. Age is but a number, m'dear!

babsbunny can a sensible diet not coincide with TTC?

So ladies... I'm on 13 dpo and my cervix is currently still high up and soft, hot TONS of cm (some of which is sticky and almost snotty... sorry tmi). Wtf is going on?!? Tested at 11dpo but bfn.

Purdey you'll get there. You will. And screw age. Raising kids is about love and you seem to have buckets of that. My uncle was born 3 months before my big sis. Nana was 43 having him. She was brilliant.

Wotsit. Totally, and it is. Think I'm panicking. I think my brain is broken, I seem to have compartments and can only achieve one thing at a time.

babs losing weight (if you need to) is definitely a good idea and evidence shows that it improves fertility :) As long as you stick to a safe and sensible diet (no fads) then I can't see why you couldn't keep TTC at the same time :)

Thanks night. I don't do fads (wasted too much time in my early 20s with em). Just sensible and lots of exercise. Hmmm. Will need to talk it through with dh. He may think I've gone crackers.

Sensible diet and exercise sounds great babs and will help you to make a beautiful healthy baby :)

AbFab what an utterly horse shit cycle you're having. Please come back and tell us what the fertility specialist plans to do for you. It's so unfair to not be ovulating but it is so easily remedied for the vast majority of women.

I would apologise for being a bit sweary tonight but I can't see it abating whilst I'm in this mood. Do forgive.

Kissing, I love that you love being a SAHM. I am one hundred per cent positive that I would feel the same joy if only a) I had even a fiver in my purse (or bank account) b) I had a car c) I hadn't been entirely usurped by my husband who has taken over childcare, shopping and basically everything you would define parenting as, leaving me redundant and feeling inadequate as fuck.

I have contacted my friend telling her I will not be attending the Christening of her daughter tomorrow. I was honest and told her about my depression (she already knew as 'you have been withdrawing from all of us and are very quiet on facebook' ) and the scratchy zits and the Usurpation By Husband and the craving for alcohol, despite having been sober for four years, five months and twenty-five days. She was so lovely and understanding

Right, I seem to have repeated myself various times on this page. Explanation: I wrote a post whilst at mum's but decided to go home halfway through. However, it seems I posted it I have then returned home and written what I wanted to say at mum's, thereby repeating myself like a prize dick.

Hi ladies. Have been reading, but just lurking. Feel like I'm having a big wobble. CD32, plenty of bfns, and have had brown spotting for 3 days now. I think I'm about 14 dpo. Just feel shit as I should be 20 weeks pregnant now, but am impatiently awaiting AF so we can crack on with ttc. Poor DH is walking on eggshells as I'm an emotional wreck.

Sorry, just needed to vent. We all have our own struggles,and I wish we all just knew when we'd get our bfp.

Babs, I lost two stones in rehab in eight months. This is how I did it: ran twice a week (we were only allowed out three times a week ) and went spinning once a week. Diet: because I had money from being an alkie on benefits and nothing to spend it on whilst in rehab I largely lived on M&S Fuller For Longer meals (except breakfast which was a three-egg omelette with a sprinkling of cheese ). I had zero chocolate, cake or biscuits and my 'treat' every night was three liquorice & blackcurrant boiled sweets with chewy-as-fuck centres (105 calories exactly). Obviously I had no alcohol. I lost exactly two pounds per week every week and seeing that on the scales every Monday was enormously gratifying.

There is no need to quit TTC because the safest and most foolproof way to lose weight will only enhance your chances of conceiving. Thanks for your opinion on age You, too, lovely Wotsits.

Mrsb. Hope you are ok. Vent all you want if it helps.
