Thanks girls.

I'm sorry for making you all yesterday. I took your advise Scorpio and cried and snotted all over DH and it helped. It made me feel so much better that he felt the same. He said he had been really down yesterday too because af had arrived and he tried to reassure me that our time will come.
I know it will but it just all feels so hopeless sometimes.

Anyway I'm full of cold (so obviously my bodies just not ready yet). I feel a bit better today and thanks for listening. It's so nice to know that I have you guys on hear who listen when I feel like everyone else around me is totally oblivious to how I might be feeling.

Plummy, I very nearly hit the shops yesterday lunch to treat myself but I chickened out thinking I would buy something really Frivolous that I'd regret
DH is taking the afternoon off tomorrow and taking me out for lunch so that'll be a nice treat

Thanks for all your good luck wishes for June, fingers crosssed it will be my month. But I might lurk on here for a bit longer if that's ok

MrsMc and Plummy hope everything is fab with you both!

I've still got absolutely everything crossed for you Scorpio!

Fruitful, I sometimes think I'd love twins but then reality hits and I remind myself how hard it would be with just one let-alone 2!

Hi Soph,

I think we should both be moving over to the June thread, but it seems a bit quiet over there so we can lurk on here a bit longer!

Flumpy - sounds like a good idea to me I know how you feel about it all feeling a little hopeless sometimes. I´m so pleased I´ve found this site so at least I´ve got like-minded people to talk to. It´s not easy when none of your friends know you´re ttc and you have to keep this fixed grin on your face when all you want to do is scream from the rooftops (lol). At least you´ve got your other half to comfort you and take you out to lunch - yummy It´s chip day at school today so have been cheered up by that. Me and dh have had a bit of a falling out and because we work at the same place I can´t avoid him or scream at him, so I needed cheering up and the chips will help

Flumpytigger · 24/05/2007 12:06

You're right Soph, this site has been an absolute god-send for me. I'm being driven crazy at the mo beause my sis has an absolutely gorgeous 7 weeks old little boy and he reminds me of everything me & DH should have had by now. It's like I have to pretend that everythings great and we're doing fine because my family are so happy with the new arrival. Don't get me wrong, I love my little nephew to pieces; but he's a painful reminder of everything I have lost and having to try again.

I'm walking around with a fake smile while inside I'm screaming, crying and stomping my feet like a little girl Then I can come on here and have a moan to all of you because you know how frustrating it can be. Thanks!

Ooooooh yummy chips, I want some!

I might get some chocolate on my din-dins

becklespeckledfrog · 24/05/2007 12:48

Jhyesmum - so sorry to hear about your Mum, lovely that you could all be with her though. I hope you are all okay and holding each other together. It's now nearly a year since I lost my Mum, it broke my heart to see her go but to see her face peacefull and free from pain at last was comforting. Sorry to gatecrash the thread but I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and if you ever need to talk let me know. Big hugs, Bec x

pobletsmum · 24/05/2007 13:43

Jhyesmum - so sorry to hear about your mum. It's good to know that it was a peaceful moment with all of you there by her side.

plummymummy · 24/05/2007 14:03

Flumpy the whole point in treating yourself is getting something indulgent, frivolous even - to cheer yourself up. Maybe when dh takes you out tomorrow you can have some champagne to toast in the new month The last few months when af came instead of drowning my sorrows I decided to celebrate the new month to kind of give it good luck. Sounds silly but it meant that I could drink for a good cause rather than a bad one. Mind you, I don't know if I could have kept that going beyond another 3 months. Having got used to these celebrations, the flip side is that now I can't drink and I am craving alcohol I have found some nice German beer (0.5%)and though I don't usually drink beer it is doing the trick nicely (one bottle a few times a week can't hurt I would imagine).

CD35 here, and oh, look at that, im still waiting!

fruitful · 24/05/2007 21:21

Such willpower! I'm so impressed!

plummymummy · 24/05/2007 21:27

Me too

jhyesmum · 24/05/2007 21:30

Girls...... Thank you so much for all your kind words and thoughts. I have tears streaming down my face.

The last few days have been a blur. We laugh at memories one minute, then we realise she's gone and we sib our hearts out the next.

She free of pain now and she hasn't got to fight anymore.

She was my best friend in the world as well as the best mum in the world, so I have been a very, very lucky girl.

Thanks again girls. Love to you all xxx

p.s. AF has arrived! I think mummy sent it for me!! xx

MrsMcJnr · 25/05/2007 09:28

jhyesmum - I have tears running down my cheeks now for you. What lovely things you said about your Mum. I hope she fixes it for you to be sent a baby to make you smile this cycle

Fingers crossed for what's left of May ladies

scorpio1 · 25/05/2007 10:43

Soph73 · 25/05/2007 11:40

Morning all. Have only just got the internet up and running again at work, there are always problems with it.

Am feeling a lot happier after my chips yesterday Flumpy - did you get any chocolate? One of the Yr10 students bought some chocolate in for me this morning from Austria - am trying not to eat it all at once but don´t think I can help myself

Soph73 · 25/05/2007 11:42

Scorpio - hope the next 5 days goes quickly for you

lissielou · 25/05/2007 12:18

(slinks away to feel sorry for herself)

Soph73 · 25/05/2007 15:24

Gemtubbs · 25/05/2007 17:34

Hello everyone! I was on here a while ago, but I've been really busy so hi again! : ) Had a really lovely wedding day and honeymoon and we just got a BFP on Wednesday so really pleased! Been trying since November 2006 so I guess it was the relaxing holiday and all you can eat buffet at the hotel that did the trick! I'm hoping that any ladies on here waiting for their good news will get it very soon. I'm sure I'll be on here more often from now on! All the best to everyone! Love Gem.xXx : )

lissielou · 25/05/2007 17:37
