moan away.
ill start. i m just so fucking fucked off. lost one last year at 44....i thought its a miracle!! wasnt to be but filled me with what appears to be false hope.

been trying ever since. and no. every month the same. this month as well as AF ive another surprise - a cyst. where no one ever ever wants one.
so this month will be lost. along with all dignity as i beg the hospital to lance it.

I know it's so nice to be away from all the fluffy TTC chat actually, I like to moan... a lot!

LimpLettice · 06/10/2017 10:59

I am NOT reading that! We're already at it like teenagers, ttc or not, any more and I'll explode. Ffs.

Bfn at 10dpo. More sodding spotting. That's it on the poas for me now. Due Tuesday I think.

LimpLettice · 06/10/2017 11:07

Oops. NOT reading it turned to reading it damned fast. Bet she ends up upduffed this month as well. Angry

gonnabreakmyrustycage · 06/10/2017 16:56

I've replaced the vitamins with eating copious amounts of toast with marmite.
8 days until AF and I feel absolutely zero symptoms so had an auricle piercing and booked a tattoo I have wanted for ages.
Tired of having my life on hold.

Steaksauce · 06/10/2017 17:34

Oh Sex! That's what we've been doing wrong. I didn't realise having sex was the key to having a baby.
Patronising cow Hmm

I read something about getting blood to your uterus improves the chances of conception so I've been eating hot breakfasts and sitting here with a hot water bottle on my stomach for the last week (even though it's been period week, now that's ended I'll continue)
I loathe myself for doing all this nonsense. I can't really find any scientific evidence that this helps and I'm a scientist - why am I falling for this internet bollocks ffs?

LimpLettice · 06/10/2017 18:38

Warm feet here, Steak. Furry slippers all summer coz I read warm feet keep your womb warm. Wtf!!

Mrsjones17 · 06/10/2017 18:59

@steak I've been told the same thing by my accupuncturist. Water every night this cycle fluffy socks and hot food breakfast dinner and tea and still not sodding pregnant. Maybe it takes more than one cycle though to have an impact x

Mrsjones17 · 06/10/2017 19:02

That should say hot water bottle not just water Hmm

Justwaitingforaline · 06/10/2017 19:40

I’ve not tried fluffy socks...maybe I’ll give that one a go! We already tried no saliva related forplay for 2 months and quite frankly, that was very dull.

juneybean · 06/10/2017 21:01

I started wearing fluffy socks last two week wait.

My acupuncturist told me to have lots of sex to get the blood flowing down there this time.

Janefx40 · 07/10/2017 00:51

My acupuncturist is a bit shit so am stopping for a while. Plus I can't keep paying out all this cash endlessly. She wants me to take herbs - she may be right but they cost another £60 per month on top of the £60 per week for the sessions! There had to come a point where my bank balance said "enough".

Love a hot water bottle anyway plus I have an electric blanket! Heavenly.

Keep toasty gals xxx

micropig · 07/10/2017 07:36

In my ovulation window but already feeling like I'm out the rave this month as didn't DTD yesterday or today, and will be too tired to tomorrow. So frustrating!!!

juneybean · 07/10/2017 07:55

Why can't you DTD later today :(

Steaksauce · 07/10/2017 08:55

Hmm maybe there is something in the keeping warm Theory. I feel less of a twat anyway so thanks all!
(Sheepskin slipper boots and massive fluffy dressing gown are on!)

Why can't you dtd today or tomorrow?

juneybean · 07/10/2017 09:18

steak I know the ladies on the IVF/IUI threads talk about keeping feet and kidneys warm as it's linked to the uterus?!

Justwaitingforaline · 07/10/2017 10:03

I might get myself some of those nifty slopper socks you put in the microwave...

On another note, I think I’m around 4DPO and it feels like I’m being stabbed in the ovary area. I like to think it’s a reminder that my ovaries are useless and crap and not to get my hopes up this month

SoozC · 07/10/2017 10:21

I've not tried the keeping warm thing, although I wear fluffy socks and watch TV under a blanket basically all year round! It's worth a try.

So fucked off with it all.

micropig · 07/10/2017 12:21

Working all day, don't usually get back till after midnight on a Saturday, then gotta get up at about 7 tomorrow too. I'd still be up for it but DH is usually too tired on weekends.

Pretty certain I am ovulating today, I always seem to have a day around ovulation when I want to dress really nice. I spend ages trying on dresses and things and always do my make up and hair as nice as I can. I hardly wear makeup normally. Then I can't concentrate all day haha. Well it's happening today! Does any one else get this?

So frustrating as we started DTD but didn't finish as we we just weren't feeling it today. Arghhh.

Well, if I'm successful next month, I'd find out early December, so an early Xmas prezzie. Or if I'm successful in December, AF would be officially late by New Year's Day which would be the best start to the new year I could imagine. Got to look to the positives.

Being too positive for this thread... I hate waiting arghhh!!!! It makes me feel like I'm a failure of a woman. I know a woman who is actually in the process of leaving her DH and child too, I want to slap her haha!

micropig · 07/10/2017 12:23

Also on the subject of warmth... saunas are meant to be bad for TTC, what about hot water bottles?

juneybean · 07/10/2017 12:53

Think hot water bottles you've got to be careful, have it on your lap rather than pressed against your tummy...

Mrsjones17 · 07/10/2017 13:51

Of to a birthday party celebration full of friends tonight. Friends I've made through my DH friends partner etc. I get in really well with the girls and we have a good laugh and even been away just us girls. They all live in a small town where you left school got a job in the local town married someone from school and had babies. Every single one of the then had had one or more babies. They first struggled with the concept of me having a career and earning more than my DH. Anyway last year we had a girls weekend away and the subject of babies came up and because I was drunk I stupidly said we were starting to try...that was 14 months ago. I know that they are going to be looking tonight to see if they think im pregnant or if im drinking etc. Maybe im being extra sensitive but I just don't want it to ruin a good night of the black cloud of 'oh she's still not pregnant then!' am I being over sensitive?

Justwaitingforaline · 07/10/2017 13:56

I am learning a few new tips and tricks here!

I think I ovulated on the 3rd Oct and in the past week we’ve had a LOT of sex...maybe 9 times? Blush I’ve deleted all of my fertility apps so haven’t logged them. I’m very crampy today, tons of creamy CM too. But I’m also off to a gin festival this evening....

I’ve got a lot planned this month including my best friends wedding so hopefully I won’t have the TWW niggling in the back of my mind.

juneybean · 07/10/2017 14:17

@mrsjones17 no I know exactly how you feel xx Just try to enjoy yourself, I'm sure they're not even thinking about that, honestly, we just get so paranoid!!

just enjoy yourself tonight, no alcohol passes until the placenta is formed!

micropig · 07/10/2017 15:29

Juney thanks, will keep that in mind! It's getting colder now and I love a hot water bottle. Don't think I've got any chance conceiving this month but I sometimes work outdoors in Nov/Dec so will have to find another way of keeping warm!

micropig · 07/10/2017 15:35

Just I know how you feel, my friend is coming over for two weeks soon (she lives out the country) and even though I don't think I've much chance conceiving this month, I still don't really wanna drink just in case (don't wanna prevent implantation) haha. I haven't told any of my friends that I'm actually TTC, a couple have just had a vague "we are going to start trying at some point" lol. Might have to come clean, but don't wanna have a situation like mrs where they all feel sorry for me as it's taking so long. Urgh!!

I'm actually tempted to just pretend to drink alcohol haha, but don't wanna lie to my friends! I have this dreading feeling that I'm never gonna get a BFP, and then knowing I'm trying with no results would be quite upsetting tbh.
