Mid 30s TCC Gin Palace

[SkaterGrrrrl]

Welcome everyone from the old 'Mid 30s and TTC for the first time' thread. And welcome newbies too. Don't mind the poster in the corner dipping pregnancy test sticks into her glass of gin.

PS We nearly need a new thread - any ideas for Part III of our jolly gin saga?

Heyyyyyy....

Wasn't that bad really am just a grumpy caaaah.

The Fella cooked a lovely dinner,I drank wine and had a birthday shag.all in all quite nice really.just not very exotic!

And ski small was actually quite well behaved (ish). Said happy birthday mummy and everything!and he only ate one of my cards.

Guess what?I have another hangover!which is preventing me from thinking of witty names for our new abode when we leave the palace...

pudding, glad your day came out okay.

Still feeling sorry for myself and the arrival of my RTOD. Will get over it. Must avoid Daily Hate and any other possible sources of (serious) references to BOD or teenage mothers.

For the next thread, how about a take on a traditional pub name... Not that I can think of anything, mind you (I am assuming "The Shrivelled Ovaries" is too bitter and sarcastic even for us....)

I'm now on the last day of my cycle and feeling much less hopeful and symptomatic than I was a week ago. Despite being up at 4am yesterday and 5am today (same as last month) I've got "the beast" making an appearance. This is a giant spot I get on my chin at RTOD which is due tomorrow. sigh

I just can't be bothered trying anymore, I want a holiday and a break and a fucking uterus which works!

Morning all,

Happy non-BOD to pudding, hope today is better for you.

Well, I'm off to GP in an hour for my 21 day (except coz my cycle is bonkers its CD 26) blood test. I'll resist any "its only a small prick" references, pfnar.

My boyf is also of the younger variety - by 16 months. But at this age I reckon we both just merge to the mid (bollocks I s'pose I'm now late) 30's......

Vomit when stressed - how lucky. That's the only way I'd be a size 8. I eat when stressed.....& when happy & sad - you get the picture. Vomiting is one side effect of PG I'm dreading - I do anything to avoid being sick. Sadly if I follow my mum I'll be puking for Wales. When mum was PG with 3rd kid she was throwing up before she even POAS. Dad met her outside the bathroom door with the congratulory "Oh Jesus, not again".

ski you have now reached the point I was at when I got pg with small.

Gave up 'trying',thinking about fertile days n stuff.had a trip to NYC and my dad's 60th lined up as occasions where being pg would be a pain.decided,basically,that it was not about to happen.drank far too much and had some enjoyable drunken sex.went on a tequila bender.didn't even test til week after RTOD due as was convinced it wouldn't happen...

Could you actually have a break of sorts with oh?weekend away or something?not planned around 'The Dates' just whenever you can both get away?

Easier said than done to stop thinking about it tho.sorry you're feeling shite.

Oh, x-posts. Glad your BOD was OK pudding sarah - is there such a thing as too bitter & sarcastic for us lot? I can't imagine so.

Just let me know where you go - don't want to return from GP's to find the palace empty.

pudding actually we're away this saturday for a week and then we've got a week at home - the dates are actually very good to have these two weeks off (although I'm not allowed to think in terms of dates right?). Whilst it might sound selfish and demanding I want to know which way my life is going. If I am in fact a barren old hag then I'll be paying a visit to Longwee to peruse a selection of 10-15 "orphans".

laurie I meant to say yesterday that I very much enjoyed your tale of laughing at the therapist.

Don't make me leave the Palace! Pleeeaseeeeee!

Hi everyone. I seem to have missed a helluva lot - finding it dififcult to keep up at present since summer always gets a bit crazy. So sorry if I use some of the banned words!

Sarah sorry about RTOD - it does get a bit harder to keep spirits up doesn't it?

Pudding congrats on the birthday "V" to the Daily Hate (that's two fingers up not a Victory sign!)

Fingers crossed for you Ski. hate the last day or so in the run up to RTOD. Only good thing lately is that since mine arrives 1 day earlier each month I never get to that final stressed out stage

I'm now 14 days without a GOF. DH (is that banned ?) agreed to a no sex rule for 2 weeks so I could try to see what the hell is going on. Have to admit, I've never felt so rested since he is not wakingup early (and expectantly) at the minute

If we take the chandeliers and bar with us we could move into Castle BESH (though non-BESHs welcome). It would be easier to defend against the Daily Hate and we'd have a handy dungeon for the no-longer-D-Ps. And anyone who accidentally says "babydust".

Not selfish ski quite normal I think.

How long have you been trying?

Break sounds good,especially if the dates are right,you can have lots of recreational and possibly also procreational sex...

ps Scorpette, I used to be VeryAnnieMary but Trogface was being subversive and gave us much ruder names. Surprised you have remained unscathed for this long tbh.

I too have a toyboy! Though by a mere 20 months. Is that nearly a full house? We should have voting buttons so we don't have to make a neat little list.

sarah & ski RTOD is evil. Ski - what you said about holidays etc. I shamefully had a little bit of a cry on Friday night and have been sulkily storming around the place ever since.

Happy belated BOD, pudding.

Hello lovely new people.

Am going away to have a think about new thread names...

Lets just build a new wing on the castle.

Naw, my Mum was (and is) a proper unforgiving man-made fibres 1970s size 8. She got married in 1970 and last year, just before she retired, she wore her wedding dress to work for charity. It was slightly too big. How is this fair? She is a midget, I hasten to add. My Dad is a 'fuller-figured' gentleman. I am naturally thin but put on weight at the drop of a hat. Has been raining hats here recently it seems Going shopping with her is a joy when she's moaning about the size 8 she's trying on being far too big whilst I'm performing voodoo rituals in the cubicle next door to get the size 12 jeans to do up

pudding sounds like BOD was okay after all. GOOD It really is just another day (pah, try telling me that when I'm 37 this October)

Am obsessed to point of hysteria with TTC now - fertile time starts Friday (I always seem to be a hornbeast and have the 'egg white' for about 5 days, so I will molest TYF relentlessly over this time. We go to Brighton next Monday, huzzah!). Is it wrong, just before we get down to bidniz, to bellow 'you better get me knocked up, and make it a girl if possible!' at him? Think that would put him off at all?

ski till you see the knicker proof of TOD, tell yourself the giant spot is pg-acne...

pudding We have been trying since November and I fell in May, luckily for me that was 8 cycles - so I am lucky I have very short cycles. I think I was all messed up at the beginning as I took MAP last august which I suspect fucked me up and also truth be told I was aiming for OV at CD 14-15, wheras I actually OV CD12.

I am just fucking furious at ANYONE who "accidentally falls pregnant" even though they were using 16 forms of contraception, or who falls pregnant the first time they try, even though it was just phone sex because OH was away on business, or they fall and they only did it once, etc., etc.

camel I think we all do have a sniffle... but surely that won't compare to the panic & wailing at the top of the stairs when we do get that BFP.

What is "BESH" - how out of the loop am I?

I really liked Scorpette's description of her prey younger chap.

Barren Evil Selfish Hags!

Which makes me ummm an ESH I guess.or I could just stick to ginhag.tho I haven't had a gin for a while,have been busy drinking everything else this fair world has to offer.

Ooh I like Ginhag!

Woohoo!

VAG looooooook!

Hee hee it is I the pudding

Great minds!...or fools...

I'll change back - you wanted a new name anyway and I think it rather suits you.
