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

That'd do it Juney!!

My OH is the woman in this relationshipSmile He's a graphic designer so he really cares about design and the appearance of things. I couldn't give a shit.

aux I loved your prediction on the last bus about men and TTC haha Sad if only....!

night sorry you had a bad day lovely Flowers

Gah, struggling to keep up on the bus with stupid work getting in the way! Watching First Dates, amusing Grin

Woolly84 · 15/04/2015 22:24

That was meant to be a Grin not Sad aux!

Mummyofonesofar · 15/04/2015 22:24

Ah new thread with 2 pages already!! Purds great intro! The outfit sounds fab, do us proud girly Grin

Eskimo Fanks for hugs! love em! I promise I was laughing out loud to your sperm story, even his luke warm bath – bless him!! LTB – brilliant descriptions! I read some out to DP and he got into bed and said LTB to me, then proceeded to lift his own Hmm

Marys your friend sounds stupid, stick with us!

Sparkly not long at all to wait now, your posts are sounding very positive. It is so awful that you are going through this again – it sounds like you have had lots of good advice from purds and her friend. I hope the clinic form a plan with you tomorrow.

Osyter I also love Ikea, no idea where my nearest is now. I would walk slowly around every section even if I know what I have gone for – it was like a day out for me. I am very sad I know.

ibeka great news if they can give you some meds to stop the mcs, at least you will have a plan of attack. Your sticky BFP will come. Hairy legs – I popped my running ¾ lengths on (which I never run in) for yoga last night and realised my legs needed doing. I was so lazy that I did them over the sink using handwash…. I am a disgrace.

Me update, rather than staring at MN/facebook/FF I cleaned my car inside and out as needed to put it on ebay, then DP suggested an early night so came upstairs with the laptop to catch up and he reaches into the 'naughty' drawer, feels around for a bit and brings out a paddle, I have a cold and really couldn't be bothered tonight but I then felt very dissapointed that he used it to scratch his back with, popped it back and rolled over to soon start snoring Let down!

chopsface · 15/04/2015 22:33

LOVE IKEA! Its a day out for me too :-D

Thinking of you tomorrow sparkly x

Oysterbabe · 15/04/2015 22:33

That's my idea of hell Mummy !
I'm like a shopping ninja, in and out in the shortest possible time.

Woolly84 · 15/04/2015 22:36

Hehe mummy how dare he raise your hopes your like that! More to the point though, you have a naughty drawer?! Shock searches for spare drawer in the house

sparkly good luck for tomorrow lovely Flowers

ibeka · 15/04/2015 22:37

Thanks guys, it is good to know only... It's something that at the moment they know causes MC but don't know how to treat! The trial is seeing if hormones work. If they give me the hormones and it does, great, but there's a 50%chance I'll get the placebo, I'll never know! And if I say no thanks to the trial and take my results to the GP, all they can say is 'yes, we know there is a correlation between that and miscarriage. Unfortunately there's no treatment yet'. I think it's different to normal thyroid problems as these antibodies can be present with 'normal' thyroid function (which I know I have as I was tested when being diagnosed with depression). Women only know they have them usually after repeated MCs or with thyroid problems that start during pregnancy/shortly after.... I think I read it makes you 3 times as likely to miscarry, so still a good chance of a healthy pregnancy, but I'll still be a nervous wreck! Anyway, we'll see what they say tomorrow...

Oysterbabe · 15/04/2015 22:45

Eek let us know ibeka.

As if to prove my point, OH is now ironing bedding while I'm watching TV. I never iron anything ever.

Spinning, my birthday is 30th August. I was always the youngest in my year, which I loved. Can you imagine if I was born now? I'd be skipping a year innit! Seriously though, tons of my peers were almost a year older than me!

I can't possibly catch up, I'm only on page 1 Hmm I am revising for my interview tomorrow. Doing well so far: I've memorised what IT stands for.

What's the paddle for? Spanking? Ugh. Last bloke who tried that is drinking out of a straw for the rest of his life.

I'm going to have to catch up because I see there's mega interesting stuff from Ibeka..

Mary, you have always struck me as warm, witty and an all-round good egg. No way have your friends arranged that meet-up behind your back out of malice. More likely they have had this arrangement for some time and not wanted you there in the company of a baby - and quite right too. You don't need that right now Thanks

What's going on in your life lately, lovely?

Sparkly, please, please arrange for those B vitamin injections. I have a really strong feeling they would bring much health to your LP. Sending loads of love and bravery tomorrow. How amazing if that FMU stick revealed a big bold line in the morning Thanks

Aw, thanks for all t'good luck wishes. Listen, th'interview's only at 3pm in t'next town so I'll be knocking around in t'morning. I'm not nervous whatsoever. Why? Because I look reet nice in me new outfit and let's face it: they're getting free labour for eight weeks. I'm doing them a favour, right? I just hate that question that always comes up at interview: 'So..you haven't worked for eight years. Can you explain what you've been doing?' 'Yeah..er..lapdancing, drugs, thieving, getting locked up, getting sacked, dogging, escorting, been in rehab and since then nowt.' 'Ah. Yes. Perfect. When can you start?' Hmm

I am a bit AWOL at the minute but just popped on to say best of luck to Purdie for tomorrow. Smile

MidnightRun · 15/04/2015 23:07

Can I join.. PleaaaaasseseSmile
Stats 24. Ttc #1 5th cycle, cd15.

Lap 2 years ago to remove small amount of endo..

Totally unaware of current cycle length and ovulation date as so far it's changed every month so we're dtd every 3rd day..

Sparkly123 · 15/04/2015 23:08

Pixa I wondered where you were! Hope you ok

Purdita yes they should be overjoyed to have you for free! Obviously you will be amazing so I don't need to say good luck! Wink look forward to your update Flowers

Sparkly123 · 15/04/2015 23:09

Ps nervous wreck about fmu stick buries head in sand

Sparkly123 · 15/04/2015 23:11

Ibeka good luck lovely. Sending positive thoughts Star

Nomio230 · 15/04/2015 23:12

Purdie, you have the same birthday as my youngest sister!

Mummy, your naughty drawer sounds interesting.

Eskimo, your post earlier made me laugh. Poor DH!

Sparkly, good luck for tomorrow. It would be amazing if your HCG has gone up!

You asked about my appointment. It is with a private consultant to ask for more Clomid & I am also going to ask about Progesterone for my stupid short LP.

Nomio230 · 15/04/2015 23:13

Welcome, Midnight, nice to have you here. Grin

Flipping despise Ikea. Sheep herding themselves around all the funny pathways; screaming tots bouncing on beds; uninspired couples choosing yet more bland pictures of poppies. And what, in the name of Judy Murray's phalloplasty surgeon, are them meatballs in aid of? They taste more like horse meat than horse meat does.

Eskimo, I like you, right? And I would never slag off the man who loves you and makes you happy, right? But what, in the name of Tallulah's upcoming lobotomy, was he playing at, slumbering when he should have been spanking the monkey? What is a 5am gym shift and was it absolutely essential??

Cariad, I am so thankful you came back to tell us that amazing piece of info! It has seriously raised my confidence that this could happen for me, and you're right - the uterus is small. My one functioning tube doesn't have to hail a cab to go and pick up the opposing ovary's egg! Thanks again for that. What did your 5 wk scan tell you? Obvs it's too early for a heartbeat but did they see a fetal pole or anything? What was it they were looking for? Much love and luck for this pregnancy, you must be shockingly anxious Thanks

Ibeka, this is good, good news in my book. Yes, it's scary when there is a possibility that one of your hormones is imbalanced and that future pregnancies could be imperilled. But look, this is your chance to get it remedied, if that is indeed a major factor in your suffering. I need to keep reading because page 4 talks about a placebo and I'm only up to page 2 Hmm...

Nomio, you need 100mg! You know this, right? Do you know that, if 100mg works well for you there will be concomitant improvements to your prog levels and LP? No? You didn't know that? You do now, cocker Smile

MidnightRun, yes, you can join, but please first remove that stash of drugs sellotaped to your torso. You're not getting on this fecking bus until you.....oh..hang on, that was Midnight Express, wasn't it Hmm Welcome, love. may I ask why you went for a lap two years ago when you weren't ttc? Just curious. Where was your endo?

Sparkly, I know how nervous you are about tomorrow's home test. Bless you, you are in the best possible hands with your DH. You'll never be fully ready for the bleak news, but it may not even be bleak. Praying...xx
