[Icedlemonmuffin]

Hi have made a new batch of cock tail muffins for those of us who have been trying for along time and

(a) are struggling to get excited by the sight of a cockadoodle running towards every other day of our fertile days !!

(b)have sore ladybits from all the SWIing we have been doing the past few months

and

(c) who just want to moan,groan and bitch how boring it can all get!

All funny sperm killing stories welcome I need a laugh and to know I'm not the only one going insane ttc

So hop aboard and you to can be a bus whore like me !!!!!!!!

Well we've had 24 hrs without puking, yay! And the sun has come out!

Does anyone ever get a 'fake' ovulation? Earlier this week I had 2 days of ewcm and cervix was all squishy and soft, then the ewcm dried up yesterday and cervix was all hard again. So I just thought I'd ov'd early and was kicking myself that we only SWI once, but at the same time was grateful I wouldn't be ov'ing at SIL's whilst sharing a room with Boo.

I was expecting a temp rise yesterday, or today at the latest, but no. So I just stuck my hand up my foof (as you do) and it appears the ewcm may be coming back, my cervix isn't as hard as it was yesterday (but not quite squishy yet iykwim). So maybe I had not ovulated the first time?!? What is going on?

Does anyone else ever get that? Oooh maybe... just a thought... maybe I'm going to ovulate twice? Twins ahoy!! (I wish)

Oh yes, and I am SOOOO looking forward to backache, morning sickness, lack of sleep, going off my favourite foods etc. It will all be worth it!

Lou go you and your PMA.

I have never done that cervix checking its TMI for even me. Shock horror.

Am obsessed with knicker checking. Anyways no spotting yet. Though going round Ikea was a nightmare as just needed to check but couldn't.

Yay to no more sick Boo. Not sure about fake ovulation. Sometimes I have a few days of that EWCM before I ovulate.

I tell you what I am looking forward to about being pregnant apart from the baby at the end. An excuse to sleep after TH comes home. He even learnt to cook last time.

Polly had had on/off EWCM over a two week period this month & late by 10 days!

I don't do the cervix checking but total knicker checker every time i go to the loo - from day 1+!!!!

We've been trying for almost 2 1/2 years now so I'm totally happy to settle with only ever having one child. 2 would be a miracle!!! All I'm asking for is 1, that surely isn't being greedy is it????

Almost at the end of af by the looks of it so back to SWI and sore bits!!!!

Another month another baby fail. Well that's what it looks like.

How are the rest of you at Easter? stuffed enough chocolate cake yet? At least when period is due I now have bona fide reason to eat chocolate not that I needed an excuse.

Aww big hugs Lou know exactly how you feel!

Bring on the chocolate fest

Anyway Fairy I have a friend who tried 5 years for her first baby and then had the next one when her DS was less than 18 months old. She was told by a nurse that no wonder she couldn't conceive as she was too fat. Then never went to the doctors as she was too scared. When she went to see the consultant when she was pregnant with DS1 she was told that she should have gone to her GP for help.

Anyway the moral to the story is just cos you are struggling to conceive no 1 that doesn't mean you will struggle with another baby.

I know my bmi is too high but at size 14 top & 16 bottom I'm national average. It hurts that to get what I want I have to be 9st!!! I have friends that are heavier than me & they've all had between 1 & 4 children without any problem. I feel like not only do I have to deal with all the symptoms of PCOS (which is partly to do with my weight issues) but the indignity of fertility issues!!!!

Life is totally unfair!

Back to the chocolate!!!

I agree fairy life is sooo unfair. We r up at SILs and I was doing alright until the evening when her boyf said they starting ttc no 2 this month and hopefully they will fall 1st month again as SIL wants to start mat leave nxt feb. Talk about rubbing salt in my wounds. He is the more sensitive of the two, so u can imagine wot she like! It was all I could not to A.punch him and B. run crying from the room. I couldn't sleep last nite for thinking how it's never going to happen, got myself ina right state.

we r staying until after lunch 2moro. I think by then my PMA will be lying broken in shards on the floor!

So do they know you have been trying for ages Pol? If so he needs to be kicked in his balls, that might put their plans off track . I think I might have had to been restrained.

I got TH to talk to MIL as she kept asking when we were gonna have another. Seems to have done the trick.

I have no PMA anymore. Do yhave a cable so I can put my hypno tracks on iPod so that might help.....

Polly are you try for #1 or #2. #1 is proving so difficult for us!!!!
I know what you mean about insensitive family members. I also have a family memeber who, once preg, made out as though it was really difficult for her to fall pg & she was getting so worried incase she'd end up in the same situation as me! It actually, apparently, took her 3 months! I wanted to punch her to she felt a 10th of what I feel everyday!!!!!

I need some PMA! Does it come in chocolate or alcohol flavour???

Am making Chocolate oat cake which I have tasted before but never made. It is yummy. Think we need Iced back with her cocktail muffins. She could combine chocolate and alcohol to make some PMA.

Or Cock Tail muffins as iced put it! I often wonder about those!! I have just bought an ipod, so you can borrow the cable for your hypno cd! Can you put them on my ipod as well while you are at it?

Thanks

Cock Tails needed!!!!! Hope Iced hasn't sampled too many of her own & is under her bar somewhere dreaming of eggs!

Hello

Cock tails is code word for cock! cocktail muffins and cock are best served with lots of chocolate and alcohol!

Been out today on a cadbury Easter egg trail, dd loved it but we walked miles! (maybe not but it felt like it)

Trying not to stress this month (cycle 12) but sick of hearing 'wow I'm pregnant we weren't even trying! How did that happen?'. I'm smiling but on the inside I'm screaming mean things very mean things!

Hey y'all. Lou yes they know exactly how long we've been trying! Usually SIL is the most insensitive but she seems to have been on best behaviour and has not offered any unsolicited advice so I think someone had a word.

Fairy we are trying for no 2. It's been 23 or 24 cycles now. I think I must have dried up dessicated mummified eggs. I'm 38 so am feeling old and barren nxt to SILs obviously far superior eggs! Speaking of which I think my body is playing tricks on me - I have still not laid an egg this month despite getting the ewcm twice in the last week. Bastard body, grrr.

Had a lovely walk this avo in peak district and about to have dinner and cider so feeling more chilled now. Hope everyone else is having a good Easter!

Iced I need both & had lots of chocolate & alcohol a lot!!!! I think I'm on cycle 28 now!!! Feel like I'm going for a record! I'm with ya on the screaming!

Polly I'm with ya on the dodgy eggs, body playing tricks & EWCM more than you should! Because of my PCOS I cant use OPKs so only have CM to rely on!

Hope everyone had a great day!

Well last night didn't go to plan - just heading up to bed when my bil turns up from work bringing beer for a catch up with dh. So that plan went out of the window! lol

xxx

I was too tired after all the walking yesterday to do anything other than sleep but maybe tonight the cock tail will come out to play

Dh in work so me and dd have been cleaning, I said I would pay dd if she paired dh socks, she did a really good job and dh now has a tidy sock drawer!

Looks like its another month of waste for me. Though spotting didn't start as early as it did last month. Am totally gutted though. Totally gutted. Have had enough. Think DH blames me for baby fail as I seem to get so stressed by it all.

In fact he told me that I was partly to blame for it. It didn't make him feel like wanting to have sex with me when I was like this all the time.

Lou really sorry your having a crap time! When rtd arrived this month I said to dh that I can't take this anymore and I was done, then massive arguement (whispered arguement dd in bed) that went on till the early hours, lots of snot and tears.

In the morning dh said he really wants us to keep trying but to try and keep living and moving forward with our lives, because I just get so focused about getting pregnant that my time is taken up and I'm missing out on life with dd and dh. I was upset but he is right (only this once) and I've decided that we are not actively ttfc but we are just not going to use protection and try and enjoy sex again. After a year of trying and getting so upset when rtd arrives I need to stop being so hard on myself , but it's hard when you want something so much and it's just not happening.

I was trying to post something that would help but I just feel like I've said a load of nonsense.

Iced you are right. Its not a load of nonsense. Its hard as its so depressing. RTD hasn't officially started yet just brown mucus. nice. Don't have any cramps.

My DS is so cute. He is just learning about role play and gets his toys to kiss. Am enjoying sleep when he's not teething. There are so many things to be thankful for.

Anyways we are going to start going to bed earlier to see if that makes a difference with regards to SWI / shagging in general. Sex used to be fun and am sure it can be again.

Hi girlies,

I wonder how many couples are actually having the same arguments up & down the country? We seem to argue the most around RTD time. We never actually say it's the TTFC but I'm sure it all stems from the same frustration. I was told to take it easy now I'm on the road to IVF but I don't want to feel like I'm giving up. I think I need to get my head around that first. I just refuse to be a 'failure' when I should see it as I have 'special needs' (am a school teacher & always had to fight for things in my life - even getting here before TTFC was a fight due to the amount of crap I attract).

Hope I don't sound too depressing. I just think we're all in the same boat with different journies!

Lets have some fun again!

My dh said the' harder you have to fight for something the more you cherish it when you get it'. I agree with him but I still felt like punching him in the face(really hard) when he said it. It easy for the blokes to be sensible and rational, they haven't got to cope with them and the hormones

Fairy you are not a failure!! If you say that again I will make you write 'Fairy is not a failure she just needs some help' a thousand times
