I'm so sorry Muser. xxx

YorkshireTeaDrinker · 13/12/2009 20:48

Oh Muser, I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself honey. xxx

CJ2007 · 13/12/2009 22:19

Thinking of you muser. Take care chick. Xxx

Ozziegirly · 13/12/2009 23:26

Muser I am so sorry. Thinking of you - take care of yourself. xx

Well I was feeling vaguely hopeful over the weekend as I had no AF signs at all - but then I woke up this morning with three spots (gah! I"m 32!) and feel a bit crampy, so I think AF is on her way.

So this coming month, hopefully my fertile time will coincide with the Christmas break. I am avidly reading "Taking Charge of your fertility" and think this month I will be doing everything it recommends.

kkas I do sympathise - DH and I are certainly not keeping the neighbours up with our bonking - we are traditionally once a week type people and I have really had to overly enourage DH to be more forthcoming than that.

We've been together 10 years, so that first rush of "can't get enough of each other" wore off ages ago, and now we have comfortable married sex, which is very nice, very enjoyable, but just not very often!

If we manage 3 times during a fertile time I am pleased, as more often than not it's twice for us too - which is why I need to be more targeted I think.

TTC certainly does take some of the fun out though. If DH initiates on CD25 (or something), I do inwardly think "what's the flippin point of this" - although I try my very hardest not to show it - but do also end up, unromantically thinking "well, at least it'll empty them out a bit and make way for nice new swimmers".

I have never admitted that to anyone before!

God, this baby making is not the romantic, "making love in front of a roaring fire" deal that I imagined it to be.

claireinthecommunity · 13/12/2009 23:47

Muser, I'm so sorry, take care.

claireinthecommunity · 13/12/2009 23:59

To be honest Ozzie, if DH initiated sex now (when I think I'm past OV), I would think: what's the point too!

aly323 · 14/12/2009 00:44

Muser, I'm so sorry. We'll be here whenever you're ready. Just take care of yourself.

Ozzie and Claire, me three.

Today, I volunteered to take pictures for a foster care Christmas party. It was wonderful. Lots of babies and kids. It's another option for us if this doesn't work out. One nine-year old really got to me. She is a difficult placement and needs a home. It would be tough, but...

The party was a good distraction from my obsessing. My days are pretty much spent feeling myself up and checking my panties. I felt different for awhile, but anything new and different stopped yesterday. Now, I'm just crampy. If I can hold off till Tuesday it'll be an improvement at least.

Ozziegirly · 14/12/2009 01:33

aly I"m afraid this;

"My days are pretty much spent feeling myself up and checking my panties." just made me snort with pent up laughter.

I spend quite a lot of time walking in a jiggly way and thinking "slightly painful nipples? maybe"

Last week I fely slightly queasy, had glowingly lovely skin ( ) a weird taste in my mouth and was thinking "god, maybe we've actually gone and got me pregnant"!

And then the spots and vague cramping started and I lost all the other feelings.

Taking pictures at the foster care party sounds great though, although I would be horribly overcome with emotion probably.

bunnygirl80 · 14/12/2009 01:35

Muser I'm so sorry to hear that things haven't worked out this time. Take care of yourself.

bunnygirl80 · 14/12/2009 03:39

We're moving house tomorrow (to proper place to live rather than horrible tiny apartment we're in now - yay) but can't get internet access for a week - boo.

Hopefully I'll come back to see some more BFPs.

DH has just realised that I post on MN rather than just reading it-I think he's worried that I'm posting all sorts of stuff about him as he keeps trying to look over my shoulder whenever I'm online now. Perhaps a few days away from the internet will throw him off the trail!!

aly323 · 14/12/2009 04:52

Bunny Congrats on the move and the new space!!! I love settling into a new place. We'll try very hard to add to the BFP list while your away!

Ozzie Your "jiggly walking" cracks me up! Embarrassed to say, I do pretty much the same thing. As for your symptoms, if you're anything like me, you can just tell yourself that the spots and cramping are actually your new symptoms! I'm able to convince myself I'm pregnant right up to my temp drop, which doesn't usually happen until a couple of days after af. It gets crazy, I can convince myself that almost anything is either a sign or a symptom. I've learned, however, not to share this with DH. He just gets worried that I'm going to get my hopes up and get crushed each month... which, so far, is exactly what has happened.

aly323 · 14/12/2009 04:55

Oh, and I forgot that I also wanted to let Chalky know how sorry I am to hear about your dog. We just lost one recently and very traumatically, so I'm very familiar with the pain. They are so special and it hurts so much when they're gone. I'm sorry...

Ozziegirly · 14/12/2009 05:49

Yes, and it's funny now - I'm actually quite pleased if I ever feel queasy, as I chalk that up to another "symptom".

Calyx · 14/12/2009 07:06

Muser sorry about the duff bloods. I hope you're okay, we'll see you when you're back on here, big hugs.

I'm going back to work this morning, feeling a lot better but not looking forward to all the catching up groan.

AF just about finished so that's me on a fresh new cycle. Let's see what this month brings!

kkas · 14/12/2009 08:19

muser i am so sorry to hear that. take care of yourself.

zippys · 14/12/2009 08:27

Still no internet at home and still stupidly busy at work but I just wanted to let Muser know we are here for you and so sorry to hear your news.

Cant wait till I get back on line at home and then I will have a proper update.

Spirael · 14/12/2009 08:35

I'm sorry things don't seem to have worked out this time, Muser. It's a rough thing to go through. Be sure to take it easy and be kind to yourself! Duvet days are perfectly acceptable, it's a major physical and emotional trauma to go through.

I hope everyone else is doing ok. Still keeping my fingers crossed for a few more BFP's before the end of the year!

YorkshireTeaDrinker · 14/12/2009 11:07

Aly and Ozzie* your posts have just made me splutter tea all over my keyboard. MNing at work is not a good idea, especially in an open plan office (although I've just changed desks no one can see my screen now).

Ozzie, I think I'm symptom spotting on your behalf now. Spots and cramping have got to be a sign. Are you going to test?

Bunny congratualtions on the move to the new place - are you moving into a family sized house? Hopefully you'll be able to fill it before long!

We are slap bang in the middle of the green zone and DH fell asleep too early last night If this month conforms to the pattern of previous months then I'll ovulate on Wednesday, so I'm aiming for BDing every (other?) day until Thursday, then we can relax for a bit. Like others, I think do the deed any time beyond ovulation is a waste of effort!!

Good luck to all of you coming up to testing. Fingers crossed for 2 magic lines. and lots of hugs for Muser.

Oh Muser, I'm so sorry. TTC really sucks sometimes. I always thought that when I finally got that BFP I would be over the moon, but after six months on Mumsnet, hearing so many sad stories, I think that when it does happen I will just be scared stiff. I hope you have your DH and good friends around you, but we are always here to talk xx

Ozzie - "well, at least it'll empty them out a bit and make way for nice new swimmers". and

Yorkshire - I'm in the same situation - I can only MN at work and I'm permanently terrified of someone looking over my shoulder and finding me talking about my CM or something!! And I very often sit here shaking with laughter and pretending that I'm just having a coughing fit.

Well I'm with you all the way on the symptom spotting madness. I have the beginnings of a cold and I immediately thought "Ooh Curly said that her immune system dropped as soon as she got pg!" and began to get really happy! You know that times are bad when you start getting hopeful over a cold!!

chalky3 · 14/12/2009 19:18

Muser so sorry to heat things aren't going well, thinking of u.

Ozzie your post made me laugh, yours too aly!

Good luck with the move bunny.

Love the crazy symptom spots, being happy at getting a cold, sore breasts or feeling sick is just nuts, funny what TTC does to us! I had a much earlier AF this month and for a little while I was thinking 'implantation bleed'.

Had to tell DH to stop reading my posts too, think he's got bored of spying now, too much girle chat and hard to decode abbreviations for him!

Thankyou for the kind words about our dog, it hasn't been easy to get through but time, as they say, is a great healer. We have another dog and it's hit him hard too so we're concentrating on making him feel happy and loved.

Another friend has recently announced her pregnancy, what a great time of year to do that! DH was worried I would be upset which is ridiculous, I just want us to have one too! Several friends are pregnant just now so I'm hoping there's something in the air and it will spread to all of us soon!

So sorry to hear your news Muser , hoping to see you back on here soon.

Have been enjoying temping this month, used internet cheapy OPKs and they managed to correspond well with my temp so this really helped us focus on the best time to get busy - gives me something to to do every day as well so I'm not just symptom spotting, but find I'm obsessing over charts instead

Babysat niece and nephew at weekend - managed to get poo on the carpet when changing DNe's nappy, much to the delight of DNi! Hoping to get more practice at the nappy changing thing soon
