[InTheMidnightGarden]

everyone hop on. the JUNE bus has arrived. no need for tickets.

InTheMidnightGarden TTC#1 cycle#1 CD1

evening all,

Well good news is that FSH test was neg today so no perimenopause symptoms for me yet, (phew) It is a bit of a worry at my age. (42)

Luckily nowhere near ov either cos dh is wandering around like a bear with a sore head, God knows whats wrong with him, he says nothing let hime stew then.

Good luck everyone this week.

woofie I like the name change and the reasoning behind it.

liahgen my DH too. He keeps stomping around and snapping at me. He has quite a stressful job though and is probably thinking about work tomorrow.

He finds cleaning theraputic, what kind of a wife would I be if I stopped him. Plus, it gives me a chance to catch up on The Bold and the Beautiful .

Evening all.

wickedwitch I too have just realised I'm on CD 12 so have had to make a real effort in the bedroom department as DH and I haven't been very active since I ovulated last cycle. Had a bonk this morning and could do with luring seducing DH again tonight as we've both got busy days ahead of us tomorrow day and evening so I can guarantee there will be no shagging for us . Only thing is DH is in a vile mood at the moment (I've got an appointment at the CAB in the morning re: our finances) and he's given up smoking which isn't helping!!

We've agreed that this will be our last month TTC for now because of our money situation but to be truthful, with DH in such a vile mood, I really don't think it will happen for us (no bonking an' all!!) and both of us are so stressed out it's not really a good combination when TTC! We've got our Lancashire caravan holiday starting on Saturday, when really we need to be at home sorting out this nightmare mess we're in.

Think it's gonna be a long night and not for he right reasons!! Better try and pay DH some attention and try to get him out of this downer he's on. Wish me luck.

Thanks MrsR

Mampam - really sorry you're having such a crap time. Here's hoping this month brings some good news. And hope the holiday helps.

Thank Woofie. It's gonna be really hard to go away and forget all that looms for us back home but we'll try and enjoy it and make it fun for the DC's sakes. One really good thing about the holiday is that it will be during my 2WW so hopefully I'll have other things to keep my mind occupied instead all the symptom spotting!!

hey woofie good name!

lia and mrsr sorry you have grumpy hubbys. With mine did the cleaning tho mrsr!

mampam best of luck with everything, I would send you cyber hugs but I think that's not the done thing here . I do sincerely hope you get things sorted out. My hubby is the same re our money situation, so I'm off to see the bank manager on wednesday, erk. NOT looking forward to it. Bloody bridging loan to buy our house - crippling. Anyway. Fingers and toes crossed you get some helpful advice and a lovely shiny new job for dh. Hope you enjoy the holiday tho

WISH mine did the cleaning, obv. Doh!

Afternoon everyone. Sorry I did the very rude thing of posting once and disappearing!

This is the first month for me using a Clearblue Fertility Monitor and I am ridiculously excited about it going from one bar, to two this morning. God knows how I'm going to cope when a little eggie appears!

There seem to be quite a few people at the end of their cycles on the list... any BFPs yet?

Just reading back over the past few pages to see what I've missed and PSML over robosperm and sex before pizza.

Looking for advice, I think I ovulated yesterday as i had crippling pain in my left side at the front and the back and didnt really feel like doing the deed as I felt so crap. Anyway it was gone by this morning so me and dh did it and then I went off to work. I felt fine all morning till lunch time and then started to feel sick and dizzy and had to leave a meeting and come home early. Someone asked if I was pg because I was looking so peaky and to be honest I did feel like I did with ms last time but I know its way to early for that. Could it be a sign of ovulation or implantation? Anything pg related or have I just started symptom spotting frantically on cycle #1?

Hollyoaks I dont really know an answer on that one, but fingers crossed it leads to BFP for you

WickedWitch thanks so much for the virtual hugs, they may not be the done thing on here but they are very much appreciated .

Went to the CAB this morning and they were really helpful. They went through everything so there was no hiding . We've got an appointment to see their legal team who will sort through our finances and work out a budget for us and what we can afford to repay to our debts etc. They also sent me off to the council offices to see about claiming some housing benefit and apparently we're entitled to some!!
Things seem a little clearer now and I can go on our little holiday not feeling so guilty or having to dread coming home to a mountain of bills that we can't afford to pay.

So Thank You for all your kind words of encouragement and for letting me vent on here and the May bus even though it has nothing to do with TTC!!!

Hollyoaks I've no idea about your pain. To be truthful it could be ovulation pains or it could be implantation pains. Only time will tell!!!! Have you ever had anything like this before around ovulation time??

WW forgot to say best of luck when you go and see the bank manager xx

Mamapam glad things went well today

Mampam Ladyemmalou83 your both probably right, only time will tell. Forgot about all the mad symptom spotting and only on day one on the tww. Its going to be a long fortnight

Glad everything went well mampam facing up to your finances (or lack of them in our case) is really nerve-wracking. Don't feel alone, I don't know your circumstances, but there are many of us out there who havent got two pennies to rub together.

Hi everyone. AF arrived yesterday much to my delight. My body appears to be playing nice after coming of the pill after all (crosses fingers) Knew I had missed my timings last month so was waiting to kick start cycle 2. My DH wasn't quite so pleased as it was our wedding anniversary . I did assure him it was for a greater good, not sure he was convinced! Got some ovulation sticks of e-bay and not sure whether I should use them or not. Wanted to just check everything was working after being in sleep mode for the last 13 years on the pill. Any thoughts? So my stats are now,

TTC1 Cycle2 UCL?28 CD2

Good luck for June Bus everyone.

Hey Mampam, glad it went well today and hope you have a nice relaxing break!

WickedWitchSouthWest did you go for the opk? How did it go?

Never used them before, last month we went for the hope for the best and shag at every given opportunity method which was good but I could barely sit down after a week !

This time we have bought a bumper pack of opk's to have more of a clue as to whats going on and think POAS everyday will make me feel I'm doing something constructive! (Plus another collumn to add to my TTC spreadsheet geekfest )

Good luck to all of those lucky people doing the deed today...maybe this one will be the one!!!

Hey MadScot - go for the OPK's I'm in the same boat so we could compare notes?

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary too!

Also was going to ask those who already have DC - has anyone got any suggestions for things to do/eat/drink that worked for you last time (other than use robo sperm )

Evening

"there seem to be quite a few people at the end of their cycles on the list... any BFPs yet?" - pistachiolemon ha! I'm near the end of my cycle PMSL, BFP PMSL .

hollyoaks fingers crossed.

hi ladies

mampam glad the meeting went well I did the initial scary meeting with the bank back in February. It was so bad she got someone to make me some tea lol. Hoping this time won't be so horrible since we've made major cutbacks but I've decided the bank has to be my friend or it's going to hit the fan.

firerise I haven't used the opk yet...I got a +ve cd16 last month so it's probably not worth it yet I might do one on cd15 but I'm worried that they are making me a bit obsessive and maybe just regular sex is the way to go this month We're eating much healthier this month - plenty of spinach, garlic etc as advised on this Also I have a 3 yr old dd and all i did was come off the pill, shag a few times whilst very pissed and ta daaa! Not helpful really is it? Same method not working this time!!!

still no sign mrsr?

good luck hollyoaks

Hey Firerise,

Nice to have someone to hold hands with! Not really sure when to start using the OPK sticks as I am sure that I ovulated on day 10 last cycle hence why I missed opportunity as husband was away.

well i did the opk today (day 14) and it's got a faint line. Might as well use the damn things up now but going to keep up the general shagging schedule anyway

Evening

WARNING WARNING WARNING - I am not in a good mood .

I contacted my manager to inquire about a reduction in hours when I return to work in November (not that I want to go back) and basically they can't give me what I want. If I do decide to go part time it affects not only my salary and annual leave, but maternity leave. I don't know what to do, time is running out fast and it seems that I'm waiting for a solution to just appear out of nowhere.

I've been thinking of working from home, but don't know what to do.

DH say's we need about £200 a month, so I'm sitting here trying to think of somethink I can do from home that will bring in about £200 a month. Any ideas?

I've no idea wether DH is on the line or not. He deals with the financial side of things. He's allocated £200 to each of us to spend a month and won't consider taking away mine. He doesn't think spending less on shopping will make any difference. He's still donating to charity and I think he's putting money into a savings account. Maybe he's just playing it safe.

I just keep crying, I can't bring myself to talk to DH.

I suffered postnatal depression after DS was born and didn't bond with him or feel any love for him until about 3 months ago.

I feel that he's being taken away from me, just as I've started to love him and enjoy being with him.

Okay I'm welling up again...

I don't know, I don't know if I'm making any sense.

On top of all that, I've had some spotting. CD39 I won't hold my breath that it's implantation spotting, more likely I'm finally going to have a period in a day or two.

Hey WWSW - good luck with the shagging schedule ;o) The link you posted was really usefull - I have just fed DH a meal of salmon, spinach, garlic & avocado and he is now taking daily vits with zinc! I am sending his swimmers to bootcamp!

Madscot, not 100% sure when I ovulated last month, had cramps around the middle of the month (CD15-16) but after much shagging at that point no joy so bought a pack of 20 opks which say to test everyday after last day of period!! It seems a little excessive but at least I will be totally covered! Think I will probably start POAS Thursday.
