Hut of Gl/Doom, part IV - FTC, because that's what we do....

[duchesse]

Et voila.

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

Glad you replied- starting to panic that I shouldn't have put that, in case of pissing anyone off!

Ambi, if it ever works for us, dh wants me to tell everyone it was first time of trying, just cos he wants a pat on the back and to be able to strut around looking ultra manly. I'm sure lots of women do a bit of that too - not the looking manly part, though.

Didn't offend me. I think you're right. Alot of people probably just say that. Makes me feel better thinking that anyway.

You are right of course, Bbabymumma. I will do that. Ta.
If this bloke turns up on Good Friday and even looks likes he's going to talk about his new nickname, feel free to ram the nearest blunt instrument somewhere into his soft tissue, ahem. Ug, it's making me mad, already. . I definitely could not deal with this - esp. in my own home. Sometimes, I do wonder if my sense of humour has gone out without me. I could be laughing at him, if I thought about it.

You are right, again, of course, Bbabymumma. People do lie really rather a lot, don't they? I'd never thought about this and TTC but I bet you are sooooo right. Hmmmmmmmmm, puts a whole new perspective on all these spontaneous pregnancies!

Hello fellow gloomsters.

On CD11 here of a 25/26 day cycle. Not quite sure what is going on. Been doing the deed at the appropriate times before ov - have to start straight after period as ov on 10/11, but only today have I spotted cm.

It normally stops now, so why is it just starting?

And sympathy to everyone with millions of pregnant friends (myself invluded).

Am I allowed to laugh very loudly in the hut of gl/doom? Don't mean to disturb the ambience.

I bet he'll turned up sticking his chest out like a fat rabid pigeon. DH has stated he'd prefer to spend the day with MIL.

Yes pregnant women are evil, they should be made to wear sack cloth and hide in boxes so we are not inflicted with their glowiness.
"Superspunk" - God, what kind of totally stupid nickname is that??? What a tosser!
yes the Blavod and swim helped, deffo recommend. I figured that was what the hut was missing, a Pool of Self Pity, with a Jacuzzi of Jealousy to massage away those feelings of envy. How about a Sauna of Sulks and a Steam Room of Stagnation too
I had big wodge of EWCM on CD 10, bit annoying since period didn't completely finish until CD8 . Dunno what that means either! My last cycle was 30 days long, and previous to the m/c I was dead on 28 every month.

Apologies sideways was laughing at sorehearts comments. V.difficult sometimes to send my messages off quickly with nosey colleagues trying to have a look.

What is cm?

Cm= cervical mucus. A alternative hut name could be Fanjo gunk!

and what is ewcm? I think I know what it is but can't work out the letters.

Off to get a morose massage in the jacuzzi of jealousy. Will they let me take my vodka in?

I like the name fanjo junk.
So what does cm indicate - ov? Its very annoying. Have more of it since dd.

Bbaby, ewcm = Egg White Cervical Mucous. There was a link flying around with some random woman showing off hers... was pretty gross.

fantastic!!! That wasn't in the hut? couldn't imagine that in the hut? I might do a search for that. She had actually taken a photo of it??

i found that pic!! its in april or march ttc under my name [proud]

march mad hatters (one with 1000 messages) at bottom of thread

it is gross

sideways, your ovulation might have been delayed from stress, illness, tiredness etc, and you might only be revving up now. Get to it! This would mean that your period would be later too. So prepare yourself for that agony

I agree with this theory that people might be kidding themselves how long it took to conceive, even if they're not outright lying. Someone who had sex without contraception for a year without particularly stressing about what was going on might feel that that year passed pretty quickly, and didn't even notice that it had taken so long. Us obsessed bunnies notice every month and could probably say how many had passed without pausing to work it out... Also, of all those pregnant aquantainces who we don't know well enough to hear the delicate details, how many of them, once luxuriating in their bfp states, will then want to tell the world just how long it took? Perhaps they gloss over it because it's over and want to just get on with pregnancy, rather than trying to make themselves look better.

This is actually making me feel quite a bit better now. It isn't changing the fact that I'm not bloody pregnant, but it is making me a little less angry about everybody else's apparant ease of conception.

and the pic is still there they didn't remove it? I'm off to find. I was in March - I obviously missed it.

I totally agree Impatience. It makes me feel reassured and less mad. I can imagine there are a lot of people out there who don't want to talk about their ttc adventures once they get the bfp.

off to find the pic....

That's what I was getting at Impatience, if much more eloquently put. Oh dear, I didn't intend to lighten the mood of the hut, feel free to continue to rant.

(I rant enough in RL not to require the hut most of the time, but maybe I have it the wrong way round, as I bet many of you are cheery laydeez once grievences have been aired in the hut, I'm however a moody bitch most of the time but feel decidedly cheery on MN, how bizarre?!?)

Blimey, Impy, you are most reasonable today , must be your hormones. Ahahaha. EWCM? HMMOG, I had no idea what this acronym was, I feel so naive sometimes. EWCM is a sign of ovulation, then? OK. I'll have a look then, shall I? hold on......errrr...no.
Nice jealous jacuzzi sounds like a lovely idea, overdid the gardening and so my shoulders are really sore. I always do this, you'd think I'd have worked out when to stop by this age. Oooohhh...jacuzzi, lovely and certainly allowed in with ickle drinkie

Ambi, I am a grumpy old cow in RL. It's only in here that I get the space to say what I'm grumpy about!

And Soreheart, don't worry, I haven't become totally reasonable! I feel calmer, but I still aint pregnant, am I? After HOW many months? AAAAaaaaarrrggghhhhh And I feel crampy, about 5 days before period due. As always. And for once I am NOT quietly hoping that this is early pregnancy. Look, I'm a pretty intelligent woman, and every frigging month I get cramps about 5 days before period due, and I get my period. Even a pigeon would have learnt this correlation by now. Good grief I need to just get over this little fantasy that I might conceive. Harrumph.

Morning fellow FTCers.
Yes there is a place for drinks in the Jacuzzi!
I'm feeling disgustingly fat atm, know I need to exercise but haven't got the time due to silly working hours. I look pregnant without being pregnant yuck. And my dh is losing weight without even trying the bastard...

Morning hutters

Particularly grumpy today because dd did not sleep well. Infact dd has never slept well. Convinced myself at 3.30am that we can't conceive because we haven't had a proper nights sleep for a long time and so our bodies are exhausted and there's nothing we can do about it. Rational??

Catbabymummy you're not fat! Look at you. A small slip of a thing. Go sit in the steam room of stagnation and sweat it off.

Impatience - I get sore boobs before every AF and everytime I eagerly rush out and buy a test cos it 'has to be a sign'. It's so dull. I'm surprised my dh hasn't strangled me by now.

Ambi I'm a miserable old b*tch too. Could you imagine how much fun we'd have if we all met up??

Soreheart - book one of those massages

Hi, all. Bit gloomy today. Spent yesterday buying lots of pressies for people who've just had their babies and got a bit soppy over the baby dresses. Saddo.

Bit scared at the thought of a meet up. I'm sure some of you are quite nice in real life but there are those who are probably exactly like their mn personas. I'm not grumpy in RL, just plain unpleasant.

I've got a question for you all. Do we have a hut/tent etiquette for the rare occasion of any hard-core tenters getting a BFP? I've lurked on a few other threads recently and there have been a few (I'm not going to out them). I personally feel delighted when our kin hit the jackpot and think any excuse for a knees up (for any whose knees aren't already up) should be embraced. It doesn't mean the lucky ones have to bring a trail of babydust or tell us all we'll be next, etc. How do others feel?

I was aware of this too and didn't want to 'out' them but am absolutely delighted for them. I was thinking of bringing in a sneaky bottle of champagne and hiding in the corner with it.

What is bloody babydust?
