Do you like feeling left out of a group? Do you enjoy being marginalised and isolated and picked-on? How about a good bullying? If so..you're in t'wrong place, cock, coz this 'ere is the TTC thread where you feel loved, embraced, encouraged, wanted, lusted after, admired, respected, thought-of with fondness, missed when you're away. We will even put up with your lazy, selfish bastard of a husband who would rather watch Chelsea romp through the Premiership than put a baby in your tum-tum.

Absolutely any old slag welcome, unless you already have a baby in your tum-tum and we're about as familiar with you as a condom. You can get lost Smile

t'STATS, innit

Sparkly, it can be terrible and I am proud of him every time we go through a flight, he took seven flights so we could go on my dream trip to Southeast Asia. Smile He is definitely getting better, I won't fly during ovulation though. I don't think we will be joining the mile high club anytime soon. Grin

Yokyil · 18/04/2015 20:55

Yep exactly the same - have sat beside him gripping the arm rests and just not speaking, til his knuckles were white. Just not a good situation, but he's slowly coming round to the idea of a fear of flying course! So fx! The meds he has tried as well - takes the edge off slightly but still not great Confused

Pixa · 18/04/2015 20:55

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry Mary - it is an autocorrect thing. Blush

Sparkly123 · 18/04/2015 20:57

Ha ha. Mile high club! Grin

Well I really feel for both of your dh sounds awful! Sad

loopylou1984 · 18/04/2015 20:57

Oh my, I have no chance if catching up! You've nearly filled the bus!!!

Any vital news? Xx

Pixa · 18/04/2015 20:57

Yokyil honestly, the fear of flying thing sounds fab! DH has considered a flying lesson (because it gives him control) but hasn't yet built up the courage to do it.

MarysPrayer · 18/04/2015 20:57

Why not during ov? I'm scared of flying. Used to love it.

MarysPrayer · 18/04/2015 20:58

Not at all pixa, I like it Smile

Yokyil · 18/04/2015 21:01

They only do them twice a year so fingers crossed he goes on it...has to be his choice tho. But positive that he will Smile

Pixa · 18/04/2015 21:02

Mary, I have no chance of DH joining the mile high club, or even entertaining the idea of DTD on a flight day. I think holidays around ovulation are fab though.

Makes for interesting conversation when trying to book a holiday ^"No dear, that's not a good day for me, I will be ovulating, can we fly a few days earlier please?" Smile

Sparkly123 · 18/04/2015 21:03

Oh Lord we actually do need another bus soon. Hmm

Hairstylisttoboris · 18/04/2015 21:05

I'm booked to fly on Malaysian airline is May, off to China, Singapore and Malaysia. I feel sorry for the airline to be honest, I dont think either accident was their fault. Certainly not the one over Russia.

My dad had a fear of flying, he got over it by learning to fly himself. Drastic but worked.

Sparkly123 · 18/04/2015 21:07

boris that is drastic but hey if it works!!! That sounds like some trip lovely. Is this the work thing?

Hairstylisttoboris · 18/04/2015 21:09

Yeah for work, timed around my cycle, as you do.

Pixa · 18/04/2015 21:09

I feel for them too Boris and hope you have a fab holiday. Either way, I have not a cat in hells chance of getting DH on an MA flight.

Glad to see learning to fly worked for you Dad, we have discussed it but DH needs to make that decision and have that courage. Still, it's an option. Smile

Sparkly123 · 18/04/2015 21:10

Yes I remember when you got asked Boris so glad it's working around your cycle lovely!! Grin

Pixa · 18/04/2015 21:10

Sorry, not holiday, but a fab work trip. Smile

babsbunny · 18/04/2015 21:16

Crikey bus is speeding tonight.

Don't know if I should still be here. I still have the urge to poas (and doBlush) every morning...does that count?

Purdie, sorry to hear about your mam. The poor lady, not being able to see tot is rotten. Mine too has arthritis (is it rheumatoid your mum has?) and spent a long time on steroids. They are not fun. She gets terrible chest infections from the smallest cold as her immune system is in bits. I hope you are ok. It's difficult to see your mam sick, they're always the strong ones. Flowers

spinningirl10 · 18/04/2015 21:16

Yokyil and Pixa, goodness your dh's fear of flying sounds awful. Have they considered seeing a hypotherapist? Might be worth a go, especially as they like travelling.

Mary, sorry you're feeling down. I like Maryz, do it, as you say it worked for ChopsSmile

Purdie, yay for the new shoes. I'm sorry your Mum is so poorly. She must be missing Nancy so much but I bet she enjoyed that gorgeous video this morning. I hope she's soon on the mendThanks

Baker, sounds lovely, I've never visited that area. Everywhere so far when you live in the south west.

Hairstylisttoboris · 18/04/2015 21:18

sparkly I managed to negotiate work from a 3 month trip to China to only 10 days And to Malaysia, Singapore and China. I didn't tell them that I need regular doses of my husbands spermies...

spinningirl10 · 18/04/2015 21:20

Oh Boris, af got youHmm I'm sorry, tis shit.

The child prostitution in Cambodia or anywhere is just so awfulSad

Pixa · 18/04/2015 21:21

Spinning DH has never been into hypnotherapy, but I might persuade him. Great idea, thank you. Smile

Boris If you don't mind me asking, what do you do? Where in Malaysia are you heading? Smile

spinningirl10 · 18/04/2015 21:27

Boris, I remember you talking about your trip. So pleased you managed to scale it down. Sounds like it will be tiring. Will you get chance to see the sights?

Pixa · 18/04/2015 21:30

Spinning They had made massive strides over the years in Cambodia with regards to child prostitution and sexual exploitation but there is still a way to go. There is so much emphasis on responsible tourism too.

Pikz · 18/04/2015 21:43

So behind... Off to catch up with some giant buttons in bed!

Whilst I'm reading as anyone else ever had itchiness as a symptom? Can't stop scratching my arms and legs and my boobs are itchy too!
