Et voila.

This Hut is more of a Bedouin or desert tent than anything too gloomy. We shall supply our our own gloom.

Oh my god is there a due in december board?? I have to look. Add some vodka to my grapefruit juice.

Bbabymumma · 02/04/2007 10:57

There's people I know from conception threads on that board - make it a double.

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 02/04/2007 11:54

How Grrrr for you Bbabymumma, do you think people who get pg 'accidentally' appreciate how lucky they are? Have given up on the grapefruit juice already - a week of that was more than enough! No idea when/if will ovulate - can't drink the stuff indefinitely!

Was feeling quite positive last week, AF was bit more normal, was looking forward to school hols with DSs.

Now they won't stop fighting! They can't agree on what we should do. They won't go outside in the garden cos they don't want suncream on. Mountains of washing, ironing, dusting and hoovering to do. Am considering resorting to Cebeebies...

And to top it off I've got to go to work tonight and I hate my job!

Rant over

Chocolatedays · 02/04/2007 13:15

Chocolatedays would like to apologise for a temporary uplift in her spirits and would like to assure fellow hut dwellers her usual glumness will resume as soon as she is 5 days into the b***d 2WW. Thank you

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 02/04/2007 13:16

lol Chocolatedays!

LatenightOwl · 02/04/2007 15:23

Hi folks,
I can't believe how many people get accidently pregnant when we try so hard and get nothing.
I've got my AF at the moment along with hideous headache and nausea. So mind and heart is playing games with logic again. I know the egg did not implant but cant help but think that I could be pregnant (despite using numerous boxes of super tampax!) how sad is that! Why does this happen. Honest before I knew about MN I thought I was truely going insane... now I know I am in great company with you gals honest that is a compliment .

Anyway did anyone manage to call ATMeerkat regarding the spontenous ovulation?? Cos willing to put a virtual sweepstake bet on that too!

Now that AF is here, Im back on all the virtual drinks and a huge slab of brie before I start my next diet to get rid of IVF drugs and fluid (managed to put on nearly 1 stone in 5 weeks!)So fat old LNO will slob in the corner for a few days if you dont mind. PS has duchesse really gone off with her camel for 2 weeks??

Bbabymumma · 02/04/2007 15:50

Latenightowl - I'm the same. Headaches, nausea with AF. Gggrrr. Body get over it. Move on to next month. Let go of March.

People don't get accidentally pg. It's all a lie. They accidentally had unprotected bd just around about the same time they ov - yeh right.

Can I join you in the eating corner with a big slice of farmhouse pate and a pork pie?

I need to feign excitement for friends scan on Weds. Bad bad person I am.

LatenightOwl · 02/04/2007 16:21

Happy for you to join me BbabyM... fancy some stilton?? That pate looks great - think I will pop off to Tescos and get some for tea with toast...mmm.

Btw - dont think we can go for a natural cycle this month either cos dp still has sore left bollock (long story that others will remember) - he's now on drugs to stem pain (they havent identified anything suspicious...) probably just too much BDing over xmas ...so maybe I could stay on the pate and brie all month! and sod the diet...anyone care to join me for a month fest of gorging!

Soreheart · 02/04/2007 17:17

Hi LNO, And yes, please, soft cheese all round!
I think the Duchesse HAS gone off with her camels...I wonder where she's gone...is there a camel convention somewhere?

seaside72 · 02/04/2007 17:49

over-ripe brie anyone and a nice big glass of cold white wine - yum!

duchesse is indeed away with her camels and back in 2 weeks but she said she might try and look in on us if she gets online.

LNO - so sorry about AF arriving - I so know what you mean about accidental or "oops I'm pg" scenarios- I seem to spend half my life looking at people with DC of any age and thinking why them and not me? In nearly every other area of life if you try hard and do what you are told you have a good chance of getting what you want - but not with TTC and most annoying irony is that its all happening in our own bodies and is totally beyond our control grrrrrrrr.

More wine? (is it warm enough for virtual Pimms yet )

Soreheart · 02/04/2007 18:15

Virtual Pimms sounds like a really good idea. Just a quick as I'm out this evening. And a bit more brie over here. Thanks.

beansprout · 02/04/2007 18:24

Bit of brie for me too please. Sorry about your period LNO.

Am having an attention seeking nightmare with 19 year old sdd, who is driving me nuts. I'm not going to post the gory daughters but suffice to say, boy am I in a bad mood

beansprout · 02/04/2007 18:54

Fab freudian slip there - I meant "gory details"

scorpio1 · 02/04/2007 18:57

Beany-u ok?teenagers are a nightmare (says she who wasnt a teen that long ago,but i was more grown up coz i had sprogs) here if u wana rant?

beansprout · 02/04/2007 19:56

Thanks scorpio. I'm ok, it's dh that gets the brunt of it but she really is full on and it's just very wearing sometimes!

Don't want to take up valuable space where I could be talking about me instead!!

yum03creameggs · 02/04/2007 21:26

Blurrrggghhhh - sorry I just need to let off steam somewhere. I am probrably being a bit daft to post when I have raging pmt and a glass of wine in me, but anyway. I really should have gone to bed by now (early morning) but could not resist one more trawl through the conception threads, and read the one -hate waiting - and yet again it was a don't want to wait - oh look I'm pg, I have only been here a few weeks.... arrggggg. It is not like I am ttc#1 or even that I have been trying very long this time (4 cycles) it is just that I am a hormonal bag of frazzeled edges..... and of course feeling guilty about the glass of wine because of course there is always the chance that I might be pg - who knows miracles do happen. Sorry to be so self-centred here. would share the wine with you but already drunk it, so perhaps I should just share the virtual vodka I have stashed away here - go on take it, enjoy....

Catbabymummy · 02/04/2007 21:51

Haven't been here for a while, thought I would drop in with a vat of Blavod.
As I have just said on TTC after miscarriage thread, collegaue pregnant, due shortly after what should have been my EDD. So fucked off, FFS she's got 2 fucking kids already, why does she need more?????? burp
I just don't believe I'll ever get pregnant again. Only bad things seem to happen to me lately, my DH lost both his grandparents last year, I lost my baby, been having horrible stress at work, good friend & colleague had a heart attack, another friend is dying of cancer and hasn't got long to live. So feeling like shit at the moment. I'm going for a swim in the pool of self pity now...

Cryptonomicon · 03/04/2007 10:02

Hope you are feeling slightly better this morning Catbabymummy. I am not surprised you are finding things difficult with all that going on in your life.

I found out yesterday that another friend is pregnant yesterday and had my usual feelings of jealousy and self hatred. My pregnant colleagure roped me into helping her choose her nursery furniture yesterday which I could really have done without. I was ok yesterday but feeling really down and tearful about it all today .

Bbabymumma · 03/04/2007 10:48

how bloody awful Cryptonomicom I couldn't think of anything worse. I would have faked illness. Can't she do these things with her dp/dh? My mate is emailing me all about her pregnancy at mo.

Catbabymummy - sorry to hear about bad time. Hope Blavod and swim have helped.

Impatience · 03/04/2007 11:50

I really feel for you guys who are struggling at the moment. It stinks. We have loads of friends who are all about to start trying for no2 and every time dp comes home from seeing any of them I'm all tensed up waiting for her to tell me X is pg. Luckily accidentally-pg friend cancelled the dinner last night that I was dreading. Am expecting her husband to say to me 'you haven't congratulated me yet'. What for? For ejaculating into her vagina? You didn't even decide you want to conceive another, let alone actually put in any concerted effort. I hate being such a bitter and twisted old hag. So I know how you all feel. It's shit.

Soreheart · 03/04/2007 12:19

Hello All, I too require a minute's rant. Called for next fertility appt. today (tried 4 times yesterday - stuck on hold, endlessly), got through to find I have a 9 week wait for this appt. I am panicking a bit about my age, so 9 weeks just makes me panic even more.
I will take a comfy seat over by the window and consider the lunch options from the menu. . . . . . . I didn't realise we had a chef! Marvelous.
9 weeks is a good amount of time to focus on all things healthy and positive. I do know this, it just makes me feel things are not under my control even more than usual.
Meanwhile Persona has been advising that I don't have sex for fear of conceiving since day 6 (now 11). How is that supposed to help me, eh? It's supposed to help me work out when I might be ovulating - or at least near enough when - at this rate I might be ovulating any time between CD6 and CD18.
How all you other ladies this week? Eastery? Looking forward to Spring weather? Felling full of Spring er Springyness? IYKWIM???

Bbabymumma · 03/04/2007 12:29

Hi fellow bitter and twisted old hag.

Haven't seen my accidentally pg friends dh since their announcement but he's going around calling himself superspunk I've heard. He's supposed to be coming for lunch on Good Friday. I'll try to do my best acting job and not vomit on his feet/punch him if he tells us his new nickname.

Soreheart - get back on the phone and ask if they'll let you know if they get cancellations. They must get cancellations. Feeling Easteryish. Am going to try that chocolate mousse made out of raw eggs on the specials board.

Ambi · 03/04/2007 13:02

Ok so I have come to the conclusion that however many months it takes for a BFP, I will say that it happened first month of trying, so my ovaries feel dead proud of themselves (is that really bad?)

Ambi · 03/04/2007 13:04

Maybe that's what the "accidentally pg" friends of yours have also done, to bask in envy and smugness, especially if they know you're TTC?

Bbabymumma · 03/04/2007 13:23

I was thinking that the other day - maybe they are all lying. I haven't told anyone except MN that we are ttc so they may presume when it happens - {it will won't it?? - chokes a little on the chocolate mousse} that it happened automatically.

Ambi I will do the same as you so my dh can make superspunk feel bad - cos now I know he's secretly lying.

I'm going mad and making things up now. On cd 4 so not much to do or think about at mo.
