It'll never happen, and even if it does, something will go wrong. Hut of Doom part deux

There wasn't any more room for moaning with all those grinny smilies's eyes following me around the room.

Suspected (my own self-diagnosis) perimenopause, anyone?

PM- That's awful, that poor baby! Poor mother too, does she realise what she did?

BTW there was an article in New Scientist about how the month your were born in increases your risk of developing certain mental disorders?
January - no increased risk
February & March - Schizophrenia
April - Schizophrenia & suicide/anorexia
May & June - Dyslexia & suicide/anorexia
July - Dyslexia
August - No increased risk
September to November - Alcoholism in males & Panic Disorder
December - Panic Disorder.

I'm April...

Beansprout: "Have been in a series of meetings with fools and have not been suffering them gladly." Good for you.

Plummymummy, interesting questions. Since we have a small child who has NEVER slept well and has NEVER been one of those mysterious children you can just plonk down with some toy and they get on with it, my dream day would be 100hours long (is that cheating?!), for dp and I to wake whenever, have lovely long sleepy sex, snooze, have fabulous brek in bed (which magically someone else will have made but someone who's as good a cook as dp). Then prob more snoozing and sex. Finaly we might get up, wander into town, have lunch, catch an afternoon arty film, go for cosy afternoon pints, followed by dinner then an evening at ours of fine wine, candles, smoking, listening to hours of music and chatting, then more sex and a long sleep. To wake next morning with no hangover, fully refreshed. Aaahhh, one can dream.....

I truly never appreciated how lucky I was when my days actually were like this all those student years...

Impatience - sounds perfect Interesting research Catbabymummy. The case was awful. Worst thing was that she wanted to have another one. I think she did realise what she'd done.

I went to visit a friend with a 6 month old baby and I held her and smiled.

How did I do that?

No-one really knows.

It's a mythtery.

well done, soreheart x

Plummymummy, I AM the best thing since sliced bread, I have brains, beauty, (and obviously a very active imaginination...) AND, Catbaby, I was born in April.....

Well, I was born in January, and there's nothing wrong with me, no sirreee.

Hi guys

Did the baby survive Pummymummy? How sad!! But sounds like interesting work!

I was born in June... but no anorexia here!

Sideways - ummmm...did not go to well.. I called my mum and told her I was going to speak to my brother and she begged me not to speak to him as his car broke down and it will cost him $1000 and he is in a mood about it as now does not think he can afford the christening(glad that our child is held in the same league as him being in a bloody mood) There is two things in that statement...My mum knows he is going to be an arse and does not want a huge family argument and is hoping I will want to go?? Never going to happen and second thing is my brother is trying it on to get her to pay for the christening. I think personally she needs to stop treating us like kids. They are back from the states in just over a weeks time, so i will call my brother then. I can see it may be unfair to talk to him, if he is going to be an arse with my mum and dad staying there, as they will be stuck in the middle. So will call him and sort it out after they have left... Thanks for asking and I'm sure I will be ranting about it after the conversation!

On Ovulation sticks I have been trying them for two months. Didn't think that they worked in month one, but turned out I ovulated much later than I thought (had a scan so knew for defo) so this month I have been using them every morning and every evening. Still have not had a positive, but had some faint lines. Will update you if they work...but have a feeling they won't. So thing I might try ferning next month. I also don't have much CM...does that mean anything?

I can't believe what arses your family are being about this Rahrah.

On the subject of opks and CM, I don't have very much CM but got clear ovulation indication with the clearblue digital monitor so I don't think its related. I think OPKs just don't work for some people, especially if you have PCOS.

I am not sure if lack of CM corresponds to lower fertility - or if there's anything that can be done to improve it. As well as hardly any CM, I have very light periods, usually only 2 days with a spotting on the 3 day. Not sure if this affects anything either.

No the baby didn't survive

Maybe I'll just knock myself out on the OPKs this month and see how I get on. I dabbled a couple of months ago, but that's no good. I got a cheapo job lot and hey, they're no good just sitting in a drawer, and I'm on CD9 so may as well give it a go. Don't want to be having sex when I don't need to now, do I?

I wonder what the record is for number of sticks pissed on in one month?

And, a plea from me, no more talk of babies being thrown out of windows. Please.

There's a woman who owns a website called peeonastick.com. I think she did an entire month of OPKs once. She's quite funny.

Sorry

Peeonanastick.com . There ya go.

Fab! Am loving wee drops too! Will have a good read later. Possibly while peeing on a stick.

I got some pre-seed, hoping that will help with lack of CM... like your style beansprout, we only want to have sex when necessary...

Anyone tried the pre-seed? Makes you very wet!!!LOL (TMI)

I was well and truly fed up with OPK's until I changed brand from clearblue to boots ownnd truly. Plus lots of advice from MNetters to just with testing. Jury is still out but it looks like I ov much later in cycle than you would xpect for 26-28 day cycle.

TBH am concerned as to whether I have the patience/stamina for TTC. Sometimes I just want to weep - regardless of what stage I am in cycle. (even had an embarrasing evening bursting into tears on a work night out). It costs so much, not just financially (loads of products out there exploiting our need) but also emotinally.

So relieved I found Mumsnet.

Yes, it is emotionally exhausting, not to mention bloody frustrating. Sometimes I feel like giving up too, but I won't let my body have the last word

Hello fellow miserables!

Okay trying to talk boss into allowing me to recruit 1 and possibly 2 lab techs because my lab is so busy, and one of my current one hands his notice in. The ungrateful little bstrd, after all the bending over backwards I did to get him a f*ing payrise last year! Grrrrrrr!!!!
At least it means I won't have to do his yearly appraisal!!!!

I think I am officially going bonkers ? I had such a vivid dream last night where I had a baby ? I keep getting flash backs from it and it keeps making me want to cry. I have had pregnancy dreams before and baby dreams but not like this - it seemed to go on for ever and I can still see the baby?s face, and feel the emotions, it?s a nightmare. Someone give me lots of mind numbing substances quick please.

Oh, Crypto, you poor thing. Let's hope it's a premonition rather than a mere dream. passes Crypto some extra-strong vodka

Thanks duchesse. I think I will partake in the real thing at lunchtime!

Some sad news here from Lissielou who has posted on this thread in the past.
