Ooooo, new blood 
. Welcome tink, I reckon you're in on the basis of your later correction. I know you said you're the young one in your relationship but, have you thought about some reading glasses, maybe? 
Please, tell us your story .
I am a mere spring chicken compared to you in the TTC department, ttc getting on for 3.5 years, one clomid bfp, one iui bfp (both ended in mc, tests then showed factor v Leiden thrombophilia which the consultant thought unlikely to have caused my two early mcs - 6/7 weeks - but could cause later mc so if I get another bfp I'll be on heparin injections) one failed iui and currently waiting to see if ivf has worked....
fab I booked a hotel for a family (in law) wedding in June. FiL then emails DCW saying 'I hear you've already booked a hotel' and basically saying it would be nice if we all stayed together. DCW went into a panic because we hadn't consulted his family first about where they wanted to stay before we selfishly booked somewhere for ourselves and sent a grovelling apology email, which got my back right up because I couldn't see want he was apologising for, and anyway his brother never returns his phone calls and he's tried getting his dad on Skype a number of times recently but he's never got back to him. The wedding is in two months, I wanted to get somewhere booked so I booked it. His dad had asked where we had booked but DCW had forgotten, and had also forgotten he did actually have that information as his step brother (the groom) had already asked and he'd replied on fb when I told him, so he could have looked there. As he'd copied me in and said I knew where we'd booked I replied all and explained where we were staying and that after considering affordability, location and availability of late check in, that was actually the only option for us!! (thinking this explained nicely, not that we needed to, why we'd gone ahead and booked without talking to anyone else). I then get a text from DCW saying the tone of my email was aggressive, which really upset me. Then I got home after two days of inconsiderate 8 month bump woman, progressively less sleep all week and a lunch with four people who compared stories about their precious children and completely excluded me from the conversation. And we argued 
. And we never argue (maybe once or twice a year), so that really upset me.
The only good thing was that in the middle of it all I got a call from the acupuncturist saying there was an available appointment at 6.30 (I hadn't managed to get one this week so I'd gone on the cancellation list). I turned up still in tears and she had to listen to it all 
. For the first time ever my pulse was raised 
. But she sorted me out and I came back a lot calmer 
. All sorted now, just family politics is too much to deal with right now. I don't even believe his dad was pissed off, but DCW is always so eager to please even though he gets nothing in return. Anyway, there's a whole other story in that one! I'll stop at one essay for this morning .
Rain excellent to see RAF getting involved with the chasing up, hope he doesn't need to as the letter arrives by then.
Erica quit worrying that you may worry in the future! That way madness lies! (And of course telling someone not to worry as if they can just say 'ok' is a perfectly sane suggestion 
). Maybe some of that mindfulness woo, the 'living in today, not thinking about the past, or being concerned about the future' is the way forward. I love giving out stupid advice I wouldn't be able to follow myself. Ignore me. Forget I said anything and just take a quick [hug] instead, then pretend that didn't happen .
blue this is all new news still, and Mr Blue will still likely be in denial about the ability of his manhood. Give him time. I know another couple who are now going through the adoption process even though he was adamant at first it wasn't going to happen. The problem wasn't with him, but he still needed time to get his head around the idea. Surely with ICSI there's no reason why you and MrB couldn't get diffed anyway? Maybe it's too early to be trying to convince him of plan B before you've put plan A into action. And if he changes his diet, cuts out alcohol and takes the vitamins it might improve enough anyway - and perhaps knowing you otherwise want donor sperm or adoption will give him the motivation to do his part to improve the chances?
tink I hope your row is resolved now.
Apparently everyone in the hotel woke up in a hot sweat because the rooms were so hot so I can write that one off as a possible pg symptom .
Although I am still waking up at stupid o'clock (5.45 this morning) even though I'm knackered. Does that count as one?
Piss sticks arrived. I am going to leave them at home. I am.
