# # # #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!!!

Oh pierced, sorry you're down. Ttc is not easy and can make relationships hard at times. A few here have been for couples councilling (sp!) and have spoken highly of it, might be worth a try. Would your dh be up for that?

Ooh, love the idea of a FB group. Will PM.

Just got a positive OPK so, er, I'm off!

Wish me luck...

I've missed out on loads! What's the Facebook group would love to join (but slightly paranoid about my friends knowing I'm ttc) is it named something inconspicuous? Currently experiencing horrible AF pains, could cry, want it to be over now so we can start again!!

The fb group is totally private none of your friends/family will see it. It's a closed group.

Ah peirced try not to feel so down babe. a baby is waiting for you. Just waiting for the right time. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. X

Thanks glittery Who do I message?

You can message me Southy

Sorry for the moan but just had to get it off my chest. Thanks for the support people

Spinning, your chart is ace. Didn't you have a nice leap in temp somewhere interesting in your last chart that I got excited about? Or am I getting mixed up?

Sparkly, yes, I went to church without the tot as I wanted to focus on the visiting preacher who is an expert on biblical prophesy. It was fascinating. Yes, I would ordinarily be coming up to ov, on or around CD15. However, I have a strong feeling my body has gone mental this first month off Clomid and that I ov'd today (CD10). Never in my life have I ov'd before CD15 but I've had what I usually class as ov pains today!
Moreover, I have had watery cm for days now but didn't note it on my chart as I simply didn't believe it could be pointing to imminent ov. We're going to have sex tonight just in case but, if I really am ov'ing today we have really missed the boat. If today is all a nonsense - and I ovulate next week as normal, I will never again place any bearing on 'ovulation pains'.

I'm still catching up whilst keeping an eye on my spag bol..

I did yes Purdey but I was messing around with my temps last month this cycle I'm taking them all at the same time so I know they are accurate

juney at the risk of sounding slightly stupid am I messaging you on here (and if so how do I do that) or on FB?

Southey, just pm her on here with your fb name and idea of what your profile pic looks like to make it eat to find you

Purdey, I wonder if you are going to ov early and if the clomid would mess it up. When I took soy which is supposed to be similar to clomid it made me ov super early but I didn't take it the following cycle and my cycle returned to normal. Guess it might be different if you've taken clomid for a few cycles.

DH cooked a lovely Sunday roast, I finished it off with some co-codamol for AF pain,and have just woken up. Why cant weekends be longer?

pierced ttc really does chip away at relationships, keep communicating.

Liking the facebook group idea. I have pm'd spinning , possibly more than once. Sorry

Tww is hell on earth when symptom spotting and hoping and praying for bfp but my goodness it's mind numbingly boring when you know you missed the boat and have no chance of a bfp.
Roll on next cycle!

Thanks for the support kissinggiraffe We will keep communicating, not today though, we're ignoring each other at the moment. Childish and immature much?

Gingerbread, the group is secret so no-one outside of us mn-ers can see us My syringe is 10ml and rather fat and long (oo-er missus!). Of course 10ml is far too roomy in term of volume of semen but I do like the length.

Spinning, yes that chart is encouraging. Did you see her sudden rise in temp at 9dpo? Implantation, dat I can't believe I conceived after 2 months of trying when I was forty. Pity it ended in mmc and I never got pregnant naturally again

Juney, that chart is perfectly normal, honest. Try not to take too much notice of pre-ov temps.

I am the silent treatment type unfortunately. I really should practice what I preach but when oh and me argue I don't speak to him for days!!

Pierced Sorry to hear you're feeling down. TTC is totally, all-consuming and is bound to have effects. I think you should try and see a relationship counsellor, if your DH is willing. I also think not to read too much into other people's supposedly happy and perfect lives. Things are often a veneer, especially on social networking sites. I have a work colleague who has recently adopted a 6 and a 4 year old, and I know she is having horrific problems at home with them, yet posts ridiculously happy 'everything is perfect' statuses all the time.

I am still having the odd cramp. Trying not to get my hopes up, but just said to DH, 'ooo- that one really felt like a period cramp; I think this could be it!' However, I also have at the back of my mind 'but I supposedly could have ovulated last Friday, which could make this only 9dpo- I don't want it to happen NOW!' My mind is all confuddled!

Pierced, listen up good, lovely: relationship stuff casts a shadow over absolutely everything, so it is natural you should be feeling so defeated. I can't tell you how much I currently am yearning for couples counselling. my DH recently lost his job and I cannot go into details but it has been a relationship-rocking nightmare. We are both recovering alcoholics and largely unemployable. I did not sign up for lots of situations DH has got us into. Thank the Lord I have my baby from this relationship or I would've left by now. I love the man, but men are fundamentally flawed bastards.

Have you been to see a fertility specialist yet? I would certainly hope so after ttc 2 years.

I have stopped believing that everyone else around me has it easy. That's not how the universe works. No-one is favoured more than you; they are just enjoying their time in the sun whilst it is your time to stand under the clouds. You don't want their pregnancies or babies anyway, because your genetic baby - the one belonging just to you and your DH - is waiting for you. Go and eat chocolate.

Oh, and there are umpteen of us on here with MH issues and are on medication - some of us have been for more than a decade or two. You are not alone.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

On another note, reading Purdey's comment about a syringe reminds me of a question I have, do any of you and your OH's do artifcial at home insemination when you don't want to/ feel like having sex?

We'ved talked about it because sometimes we flag after doing three days straight but I don't know how effective it is. What would the best size syringe be to get the sperm up there. Sorry if TMI but I don't want to insert it into the cervix just get it close to the entrance.

any help or advice anyone can give on this would be much appreciated.

Purdey just read your reply, sorry I didn't respond to your comments in my other post, you must ave posted yours just as I posted mine! Yeah we got a referral to see an NHS fertility doc, been for tests etc, I have one more test to do a HSG which I'm going to be doing next cycle before our next appointment in May most likely. I'm fine fertility wise so far, found out hubby has low motility though

As for the anxiety etc..yeah it's rough sometimes. Relationship issues don't help along with the extra stress. And the OH is in recovery from alcohol so I know what you're going through for what it's worth.

Will try and stay positive, if not I'll probabbly just bum around Mumsnet bitching for a bit while I eat peanuts. 'Pologies in advance if you catch random posts on other threads with me having a whinge.

Evening all,
spinning sorry to hear about your uncle. Hope your scan goes well tomorrow.
pierced feel free to moan to us. Hope you feel better soon, chocolate always helps.
I like the idea of a secret FB group.
I've been married 17 years.
My temps on its way down so I suppose AF will turn up soon.

Kissing i got your messages have asked someone else to find and add you. Having family/funeral dramas and need to speak to my bro and mum

Eskimo, I can see where your confuddlement comes from. Let's hope you're preggo!

Pierced, fertility tests and scans are ace. I've had 'em all and felt empowered even after receiving the news I had a diseased fallopian tube from too much spunk from several hundred dodgy bastards I keep saying this on here but my mantra is Knowledge Is Power Once you know what hand you've been dealt you can be more realistic about your chances and explore different avenues instead of this tedious limboland.
