bonjour [smie]
Just read throught the flurry of posts, this is a lovely friendly thread to come back to.
Thanks for the profile flossie - you have now entered my inner sanctum!! I also have a dog, he is 2 yrs but we only got him in January (from another mumsnetter actually) He is my gorgeous baby boy. What breed is Nugget? I could guess from the picture but dont want to insult you if im wrong
lulu.........i am so so sorry about your af honey. I felt exactly the same last month, comletely gutted. (It was last month I had the crying sesh at work, not good) Wish there was something I could say to make you feel better, but I know only too well that nothing makes a difference when you are feeling so low about it all. All I can offer is hugs and positive vibes for your next cycle. I did find that as soon as I started the clomid again I was able to re-focus and get on with the next cycle, and the shock and upset of starting af did seem to lessen.
Thinking of you.
I understand about the not drinking thing. I have cut down wine consumption drastically, but really only drink with dinner or at home. I'm not really a "getting drunk" girl, not these days anyway, in my vintage years!!!! I figure a glass of wine helps me relax and is part of normality for me. If I do too much stuff thats "out of range" it can soon make me even more obsessed.
Now - a funny story.....
To set the scene, it is cd14 (this is yesterday) . We did the bding last night, early evening-ish. Later on I got quite strong pains on my left lower abdomen, which I figure could be ovulation pains ((yipee)). I tell dh this, and that it could be a good sign, and I think we should "get to it" in the morning just for good measure. Dh not keen on the whole morning before work shagging type thing, so is reluctant. In end after lots of persuasion, he relents, and says if i put alarm clock on and make the tea (he always makes the cuppas), then he will go for it. Guess what?? 6.30 this morning, I kid you not for at least half an hour, and there was definatly no "going for it" going on!!! His exscuse, "I just dont feel like it i am too tired" We end up having an argument with me screaming " in case you hadnt noticed, this is so not about your pleasure anymore!!!! do you know how long an egg can live??!!! I dont CARE If you dont feel like it!!! "
Looking back was very hilarious, but you know what its like ladies, when you need that sperm, you need it, its not exactly an option is it???
OOOOOOOh I was really cross.
all fine now though, we managed to come home from work at mid-day, even though hes like "what about my lunch?" I was like, "dont worry love you can eat it in the car on the way back "
Any one else have similar problems with their dh?? I know awen didnt, she was at it every day bless her! Hes been really really good lately,does it whenever i say we need to , every day when its mid cycle, but just today i think he was feeling really put upon.
Thing is Im stressing because of same reasons as lulu, thinking omg it'll never work and if it doesnt work this month, ive only got 4 more goes, etc etc, which makes me more uptight and anxious. Tbh, im so scared of having to go down the iui/ivf route....I just feel as if we should maximise every opportunity.
Sorry to waffle on so much.
love to all xxxxxx
