well at least he is doing something to learn more about the problem by makeing an appointment GG so that is a good sign. if he didnt want to open up to you he prob wouldnt have told you about it at all iyswim men are silly creatures arent they i was talking to my DH about fertility tests etc last night and he said he would rather i went for tests first as it would prob be my problem not his!! he obv doesnt realise it isnt always one sided!! also i said i nominate him as he wouldnt have to have another person touch him to have his test and more than likely i would!! i might download somethin for him to read (i know its early days for us but i want to know what tests there are etc to be prepared iykwim)i rally hope his appointment goes well and he gets some proper answers and solutions to try

Hello eveyone

GG yes, DH is definitely in his cave, isn't he? Probably best to leave him there unitl he is ready. That's really good news though about him making a GP appt. Shows how much it is on his mind reaaly, doesn't it. He is lashing out and pushing you away, which is very understandable, but difficult for you. A few weeks ago when i was in my pit of dispair about ttc i was really horrible to DH and told him i wanted to stop trying and wasn't bothered about having his baby. Did i mean it? NO. I was hurting and i suppose subconsciouslty (sp??) wanted him to hurt as much too. Not that it excuses mine (or your DH's) behaviour, just that we often hurt the people we love most when we are hurting. Gosh, i'm wittering again, aren't i? I can see what's going to happen later:

MOB Please GG can i have permission to witter?
GG No. Go away! (said in v scary glaswegian accent!!)

Bucky have fun at your boring seminar! (now have visions of you there in a ball gown!!)

TF good to see you! Stop worrying!!!! Early pains could be follicles ripening in the ovary - i think i'm right in saying that quite a few follicles ripen in preparation, then only one (or occasionally 2) fully develop and burst out.

Coolkat that's great that the next test came up nice and +ve. Do let us know when we can officially get excited for you!! can't believe that GP's don't have tests though...

Mibbes Am so impressed with your GP. How wonderful that she is being so thorough and proactive

Hello to the rest of the gang!!!!

It was funny this morning, DH & i normally discuss our dreams when we wake up, as we both usually have very wierd, vivd ones. This morning he was telling me that he had this incredibly vivid one about being in an explosion. He could feel his whole body shaking, and he said when he woke up he actually looked around the room to check everything was ok. A few minutes later we heard the news on the radio about the earthquake! He must have sensed it in his sleep, and we are in Kent! (Did the earth move for you darling? No, but it did for you...)

GG good to hear that you are feeling positive that swimmers can be fixed . Sounds very much like DH needs to be left alone to gather his own thoughts, I'm sure when he calms down he'll realise he has been unresonable by lashing out at you. With any luck the Doctor will ease his concerns and come up with a pracitcal 'man-plan' for getting swimmers sorted . In the meantime I guess you have to be patient and arm yourself with knowledge to me imparted at the 'right' moment. {{{{hugs}}}}
I hope my happy post-Doctor chat wasn't out of place yesterday ladies - I was just a bit excitable but then realised afterwards that given GG's day maybe I should have kept my 'mouth' shut .
Ei your sister is being rubbish - talk to her about it as these are the things that can cause big problems if left to fester. Why on earth is your brother worth paying and you're not ? Perhaps she just takes you more for granted ? You are clearly far too good a sister

Please excuse ALL the spelling mistakes in that last post!

mibbes ah thanx my thought exactly i think she just hasnt thought about it properly so i might have a chat with her later onhow are you doing??
MOB hi there how you doing hunny bunch??
xx ei xx

ha ha ha MOB - that's me, a Glaswegian tough nut! Permission to witter granted.

MOB and mibbes You are very wise about male psychology, and about DH's cave man attitude I grew up in a family with of aunts and sisters and went to a girl's school. I've proved myself at being pretty useless at understanding a stressed/upset man .

Oh and why is it that Glaswegians are always the "scary" ones on TV? People growling, "Och aye, therrrre's been anotherrrrrr murrrrderrrr!" with a meancing gleam in their eyes.

Ei - I think it is best for male infertility to be ruled out first, if you don't have any obvious symptoms like very long cycles. It is really one thing (sperm) to focus on for men and quickly and painlessly tested and ruled in/out.

EI i'm fine thanks. Just waiting for AF to rear her ugly head. I know she's on her way, just wished she'd get on with it. What's all this stuff about your sister? Have i missed something???

I have just been very brave and posted on a thread other than a conception one! I stepped out into the big MN world (briefly) It was baby related though.

GG permission to witter? Oh dear, what have you done...

Hello again.

GG-Sorry to hear your dh didn't have better news. Sending you all the best.

Fingers crossed for everyone else

Well done MOB! I am a (fairly) regular on the rest of MN-it still took me while to get going though!

I woke up this morning feeling fine but as the day's gone on I've felt sick again. I've felt very weepy today too but I'm still convinced it's wishful thinking If I'm not pg I will be surprised though as dh & I gave it every opportunity . Mind you I am getting on a bit now .

Hi all

MOB i posted about my sis on the waiting room thread. il give you the gist of it if ya want i found out yesterday that my sister was paying my brother £100 to help her decorate her new house that she moves into on saturday. i have been there with her everyday since monday (when i took a day off work to sign as her guarrantor!!) cleaning the house taking her to buy paint and wallpaper and helping sort out changing address details with various companies using my phone bill etc with no thanks. i have been doing all this while my bro was sat at home not helping. she didnt tell me she was paying my bro and didnt offer me anything not even a thankyou she expects me to go to decorate in her new house straight after work and i was just wondering if it is unreasonable of me to think that i should have been offered paying even though i would never dream of accepting it i feel it is the principle of it!! she was sneaky in the fact that she was goin to pay him without even telling me and i feel a bit used and taken for granted by her TBH i was just lookin for a bit of advice really
xx ei xx

sorry read that wrong its pinkgirl who is testing tomorrow so GOOD LUCK to you
xx ei xx

hi ei did cleartblue at six as instructions say do anytime if af late.
test went wrong instructions said either not enough wee on stick or not laid flat for result
have bought some cheap strips on ebay
will do when they arrive

pink you should ring clearblue and say the test was faulty cos apparantly they will send you a new one and a freebie aswell lol
xx ei xx

GG am pleased and surprised at you DH making that appointment so soon. Think even I would have hid for a bit after that.
Your argumant sounded like a horrid one, but DH and I have had a few of those, and they are rubbish
Good luck to him with gettinghelp from his nice GP.

ei I have left a message in the other thread re your sister. humph bit mad at her expecting too much from you.

pinkgirl grr about the test. But I thought you were gonna wait until saturday, you naughty girl

mob I didn't know that about the follicles preparing themselves. Would that be right? I still don't ov until CD17.
But I like to worry

hi TF thanks how are you?? you havent been round much recently (no one has in fact!!) hope all is well with you
xx ei xx

Quite fed up with it all actually, thats why I have been steering clear of you all so as not to whine. 8 months is really not that bad, but it is the fact that I will stop for a few months after this one, cos I just don't want my poor baby to have to have a birthday party in the depths of winter.
So if not this month then it will be May before we TTC properly again and that seems like such an age!!
Ho hum. Never mind what is meant to be will be. Will see what this month brings and then just have to sit back and wait.

You really must go easy, your sister will have to understand that.

TF you never know, steering clear might be the thing that helps you get your BFP!! as soon as you set your mind on something else it will happen (either that or as soon as you start trying not to get preg you will find out you are!!lol) that would be my luck that would be!! i hope it happens for you soon
xx ei xx

So who else was testing today??
Anyone else get a bfp like I did??

Still very early days though so very happy but also nervous. Timing as lovely though, I would have been due this week if I hadn't m/c last Aug.
