Lou if you win the lottery you can do an Angelina Jolie and buy a whole rainbow of babies!

Have you had any bloods done yet Lou? I thought that both of us would have to go, in order to start ball rolling, so put it off for months and months. Turned out I could have just gone on my own! So I did, got my bloods done, got referred to Fertility Clinic. TG refused to do the test when the GP gave me a pot, but he was onboard by the time we got to the FC thankfully. Still took him 2 months to do his test though. At least he got there in the end though. Bloody men....

SilverBoots · 18/02/2010 13:03

Sorry you are feeling upset Lou. A friend sent me this years ago, might make you smile (bit long, but stick with it):

'God, I have a problem.'
'What's the problem, Eve?'
'I know that you created me & provided this beautiful garden & all of these wonderful animals, but I'm not happy.'
'And why is that Eve?'
'Because I am lonely, & I'm sick to death of apples.'
'Well, in that case, Eve, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you.'
'Man? What is that?'
'A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat & be vain; all in all he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster & will like to hunt & kill things. He will look silly when aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless & will revel in childish things like fighting & kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he will also need your advice to think properly.'
'Sounds great,' says Eve, 'but what's the catch, God?'
'Well - you can have him on one condition'
'And what is that, God?'
'As I have said, he'll be proud, arrogant & self-admiring - so you'll have to let him believe that I made him first.
And it will have to be our little secret.
You know, woman to woman.'

Boots. That is so true.

Ariesgirl · 18/02/2010 13:44

Love the joke. Can I join? I'm also on First Time Frolickers - hopefully you can be on both?
Here are my stats I think TTC number 1 (can't find hash key on Apple book either!), Cycle 1, UCL 28-29, CD 14.
As you can see I'll need a lot of luck to stay on this thread but no one can say I haven't been trying! OH can't believe his luck but he is getting a bit tired.

Loujalou · 18/02/2010 14:54

Polly I am loving the idea of a rainbow of adopted kids. I would even be able to afford some plastic surgery so I could look like Angelina. Actually am in team Jennifer - I would like to try to look like her. Not likely though.

PollyPoo · 18/02/2010 14:55

Lol, I'm in team Jen too! I think she is fab. Guess we better buy some lottery tickets then!

Nanny01 · 18/02/2010 15:07

Hi ladies
Sitting here feeling very sorry for myself as AF is still with me and have thumping headache. We have decicded to TTC this month even with the B-day issue. Just feeling nervous again.

LOU- just thourght I'd mention my dh was worried when we ttc no 4 as it took 10 months. On a note of men my dh wouldn't go to the dentist then he went had to have a filling and now is refusing to go again. I can only imagine that your dh is like mine would be extremly embarresed. We women want to know; men I think would rather hope things will work out by themselves. Hold in there try reverse psychology on him and hopefully if he dosn't feel pressurised he will go.

TeaFan · 18/02/2010 16:02

Welcome Aries, have added you to the list

Are you feeling any better Louja?

I can't believe I have to wait another 5 days to see if my period is late, anyone else trying to hold off testing? Grrr!

lou come on, you can do this. He is scared shitless it is "his" problem right? Talk to him, this is your man and your relationship is worth more to you than throwing it away because of this. I know it is.

Look after him too, it's hard for men, I sometimes think we can forget about them a bit in all this ttc lark. Don't forget we have each other and men have noone really, it's not the kind of thing to banter about in the canteen at work is it?

He's being defensive which is why he's behaving like a prize prat but you can turn this around.

rosie Please do not rely on me to keep you away fromn the tests cos as everyone who knows me can attest, I am not the most patient of testers.

(and on that note) ....
why why why do I do it to myself? Every sodding month, and I know that because of the erpc last month, chance of having a normal cycle this month is low low low (as they say in the song)

So why did I do it last night then? And then why was i looking at that pale 2nd line that was distingishable at arms length? (sainsburys test)

Cos I'm an idiot, cos now I am worried that it's so early so couldn't possible be a proper one and that it's left over hormones. this is not helped by the fact that I did FR this morning and that was a very obvious neg!!!!!!! (sorry but this deserves lots of exclamation marks)

Am now gonna waste drive myself mad over the next 3 days using the other 3 tests.

What do we think? Left over hormones or shy bfp?

See, I need help and a bloody big chains to keep me indoors, (oh yes and no bank card)

Loujalou · 18/02/2010 18:17

In the words of some one else on this thread, step away from the piss sticks Lia. Fingers crossed it was a BFP though.

He still says he made the appointment . Not sure what to think.

lucybrad · 18/02/2010 19:32

dh has sperm test booked for 3rd march, and hes really sweating it now. Before he said he wasnt worried but you can see the fear in his eyes now.

rosieposey · 18/02/2010 20:23

Lou i missed your post this morning as posted at (exactly) the same time as you, sorry to hear you are going through such a shitty time with your OH its not what you need when there are other stresses and strains involved in ttc. If he has said he has made the appt then hopefully he will be a little more committed from now on, sounds like man pigheadedness to me though.

lia I think you have a kindred spirit here in the poas dept - i bought these ebay 10mIU tests and heard that you can test as early as 7 days or so after conception, i think i might get going tomorrow, i did get physical symptoms at 10 dpo with DS 18 months ago and the FR confirmed it (although isnt this one 25mIU) still dont think its a goer for me this month but they were cheap and its still a bit exciting poas. I think if you got a faint bfp it might be worth doing another one tomorrow morning, maybe there just wasnt enough hcg in your system this morning, i cant see it being leftover after an erpc for this long - will really keep my fingers crossed for you

livviloo · 18/02/2010 20:59

Lou I'm sorry you are feeling let down by your DH. I agree that you need to take a deep breath and understand that he is probably feeling stressed about this. Men are simple souls who like dogs just want to make their owner(ie us) happy. His ability to do this ie get you pregnant is being threatened here.

Rosie I have those cheapie 10IU tests too. I am d 24 and was going to start testing now but I think I ovulated on d 19 this month so I may delay until sunday now.

Aries I have a macbook and to get a hash symbol you need to set the keyboard to US which is near the wifi symbol top right and then use the number 3.

Can I wait 3 more days....

PollyPoo · 18/02/2010 21:05

Lia you are a nightmare, lol! But I am hoping it was a BFP, not leftover hormones. Fingers crossed lovely.

TeaFan · 18/02/2010 21:40

Liahgen you are the original POAS addict, I knew you wouldn't listen to me! Them 10IU tests should be banned lol! Fingers crossed for you though, maybe you will have to test for a few days to see if the line gets darker, that way you will know for sure it is not hormones still left in your system. Good luck

rosieposey · 18/02/2010 22:16

Ok well i gave in and tested this eve - will test tomorrow morning too as nothing exciting happening. Like i said i dont hold out much hope (unless DH has super swimmers that last for ageeesssss!) but its good practice anyway.

Livviloo I read that you can test really early with them and that usually if you had conceived that the 10mIU should be showing approx 7-10 post conception, not sure if i believe that, 10 days maybe but 7 might be pushing it a bit (at least thats what im telling myself after tonights poas episode).

LadyBee · 18/02/2010 22:23

Gosh Lia...I guess the only thing you can do is another test tomorrow or the day after and see whether you get a stronger positive result. I really hope it is +ve for you, that would be amazing

Didn't manage to persuade DH last night (well...ok...I fell asleep and didn't wake up when he came to bed so not entirely his fault), so we've manage Do It 2 x so far..not great but not a disaster, seeing we've both been sick.

Bunnygirl80 I nearly spat my tea when I read your DH's romantic "asked if it was time to start loading me up with spunk", niiiiice.

Lou I'm really sorry about your DH's behaviour. As hard as it will be I really think this is something you need to try to talk to him about without accusing him of lying etc. I think if you create an atmosphere that will allow him to express what he's feeling you've got much more chance being able to get him to agree to what you need him to do to make you feel like he's taking this as seriously as you are.

Good luck!

ILoveGregoryHouse · 19/02/2010 06:03

Hi all. Am lonely on the graduate's side car! We need more bfps. Am off to docs this mornign to get progesterone suppositories (lovely) - my beta hcg was 76.8 yesterday (12dpo) so am hopeful regardless. Doc was keen because of the 3 chem pgs and the emc. Will get more bloods done on Sunday.

bunny I, too, nearly keeled over at the loading up comment

Lou sorry for you and DH. I agree with LadyBee. It's hard for you both. Although he's not really helping right now! You'll work it out

Loujalou · 19/02/2010 08:16

Think we'll work it out. Might make an appointment myself and tell him to be there. If he is not then I can organise my own blood tests. Maybe he hopes that I will get pregnant anyway.

Lia - any news? You are too predictable young lady!

rosieposey · 19/02/2010 09:06

loopy thats what i thought, sometimes you can get one really early - i tested again this morning and still nothing, i guess on one as sensitive as a 10mIU something would have shown maybe? Will keep on testing till AF though in the name of science

Lia test again, the suspense is killing me!

liahgen66 · 19/02/2010 09:37

ok ladies,......

DRum roll

Definately a line, very faint but coloured and appeared in time allowed and still there.

After seeing as many negatives as we all have, yesterday was very definately neg, todays is very definately a line.

OMG i am shaking, I have 2 left, (was bogof) so will test again tomorrow. Am mightily tempted to get a different make as FR are obviously not as sensitive as Sainsburys but that would be silly right?

Boobs are sore and have got wind,

Oh god, I'm scared, please let this be a sticky one. Am very close to tears actually

PollyPoo · 19/02/2010 09:58

Oh Lia that is great news, I'm keeping everything crossed for you! Lets hope its a velcro bubba!

addictedtomn · 19/02/2010 09:58

oh liahgen that is good news very tentitive congratulations.
