have a very hot bath
eat tons of chocolate

Any other suggestions?
How can I stop myself feeling really sorry for myself?

Hi bellabear, I'm CD1 too.

I like your list and would add

crack open a bottle of vino, put Joy Division 'Love will tear us apart' on the stereo at top volume and jump madly round the room, preferably with curtains open to give neighbours a good view

continue with mad singing in the bath (bring vino and chocolate with you), lots of foam and blow bubbles around whilst singing and kicking legs in air. work your way through entire cheesey music collection and dh/dp won't be able to complain for once!

I like the sound of that!

Another one:
eat some seafood!

Roll my eyes....wonder why I thought this month would be any different to the other 80-odd months of BFNs and drink wine basically!!!!!

Blimy....80 months....that's a hell of a lot of disappointment isn't it?
How totally depressing...............

Oh Coggy - HUG!

Bella - so sorry to hear CD1 has rolled round. I love your list, and the additions from Torres - for me it's Goats Cheese City and Caffeine Central

I don't usually cry until CD2 - when the Drama Queen period pains KICK IN!

It hasn't - it's due tomorrow so I am gearing up for it. SOOOO PMTish it is untrue.

Oops. Well, fingers crossed it doesn't!

BellaBear · 26/04/2007 19:21

I just keep bursting into tears all over the place. Not good at parents' evening!

By CD1 I'm usually slightly relieved that all the anxiety is over and think jeeeese here we go again . I'm usually so doped up on painkillers that I don't care anymore. It's the build up to it that I find the most difficult....constantly think is this PMT or related to possible pregnancy? I then get excited, nervous then horribly dissapointed. On CD 1 I sit and work out ovulation days for next month...it's the only thing to look forward to isn't it....oh and the large glass of wine

PinkElephant · 26/04/2007 19:30

oh Bella sending you a big hug

Impatience · 26/04/2007 20:51

Beer and a big mope

I cuss out my period!! I say to myself, that we did it on all the days we were supposed to so it will never happen since it hasn't happened yet, I have a hot bath and a hot tea, I don't want to be around dh (not good). I cry for at least 2 days on and off, hate everyone who has a baby and call every pregnant woman a bitch under my breath!! How awful of me but I'm sick of this as we all are. I look at preg women and think, why not me?? I stay depressed through the period....then like a fool during the 2ww I actually think, "hey, this might be the month."

plummymummy · 27/04/2007 08:11

Hmmm, well as I've only been trying for a few months I haven't been too miserable. Mind you, I use it as an excuse to "drown my sorrows". Maybe in another few months I might feel like Wishing does

Woodmouse · 27/04/2007 17:18

....pour myself a large glass of wine, because I can, resolve to buy myself a pair of very high heels and log on to the TTC boards on mumsnet. I'm still optimistic, but its only been a couple of months of trying.

BellaBear · 27/04/2007 19:33

Shoes! A new plan emerges....
