Anyone else paranoid those folic acid tablets are actually birth control pills? They look suspiciously similar to me....

Trying for 10 cycles post M/C and so, so tired of all the SWI! Thank you, thank you for this thread!

Can I join this thread?

I am sick of TTC- particularly the emotional/ mental side of it for me. It seems to dominate my thoughts at least 65% of the time- and it's getting very boring!

Also we are currently staying at Mr Loopys grandparents house for 6 months while we save money for the much-wanted baby. BUT living in the house of an old couple is not sexy!! (think staying in the guest bedroom, dodgy net curtains, creaky bed, creaky floor, hosts who are usually deaf as a post except for noises of SWI which they can strangely hear up to 5 miles away)

So TTC is really not happening very quickly... or indeed at all....

Also Mr Loopy seems to think his box of zinc is just a pretty bedside ornament....

TeaFan · 24/02/2010 20:48

Hi Loopy you are in the right place, we can put Mr Loopy on the wall of shame for not taking his vitamins if it helps?

I've just purchased Zestica and a Sex Manual from amazon BoboTheSpermKiller seems a bit worried but was reassured when I told him I was after a few new moves...instead of dragging him to the bedroom i'd like to be racing him instead!

Hi to all the new bus whores !

Mr Lemon aka Spermkiller is working away for a few days so I don't have to keep hiding I pod every five minutes(I am not addicted just dedicated to mn).

He asked what I was fiddling with in bed I said I had an itch!!

I remember when we did it for fun because we wanted to, now it's a chore. Aarrrgggghhhhh wish I was Belle de Jour !!!!

Might watch Jeremy Kyle tommorow for some tips they all seem to get pregnant really quick , have you ever heard any one go on there and say with really love each other and really want a baby and have been trying forever !!!

Lucy my plan of attack for ttc#2 was every other day from day 8 but 10 cycles later, it's hop on hop off!!

Ttc can really affect the closeness but me and dh keep talking and we keep going because we both really want the same thing- a lovely baby - it will be still made out of love .

Hi Lucy my dd is nearly seven and we have been trying for the past three years including a traumatic mc last march. I was realy down after mc and wasn't sure about carrying on but dh keeps me going.

We have said we are not having sex we are just trying to make our baby.We have got lots of years ahead of us (after making baby) to have make love so for now its 'work sex'!!!

Good morning to all the other bus whores
new and old!!!

Tip for sore bits - vaseline

Dh away for work and forgot his vits
but not taken his laptop so cant kill his sperm that way.

Lou can I be nosy and asked how your oh got his porn star nickname?

Morning all, red witch arrived last night as expected. Most annoyingly she arrived during the middle of very lovely dream involving me and Mitchell from Being Human. We were in a pub with a bunch of people and somehow his hand found mine, then we exchanged 'that look', and he'd just uttered the immortal words 'I think its time I took you home' when I woke up in a pool of blood. FFS - great timing!

Loujalou · 25/02/2010 12:07

That is shite - imagine having such a nice dream like that and it being wrecked like that. But what does that make your cycle length?

I am now in 2WW mentalness. AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Why can't it just be a 1WW. Would be much easier!

Icedlemonmuffin · 25/02/2010 12:15

The tww is torture !
Af arriving heart breaking!
Waiting for af to go annoying !
Swiing at the right time totally cocking boring !

On the plus side Boots posted on nov bus that she got BFP (sorry Boots really excited for you)

Hmmm, this sounds like a good place to hang out (pulls up comfy chair and produces big box of chocs)...

Is it like aa, do i say, hello, my name is buffy, i've been trying for a baby for more months than dh knows about , and i don't like sex anymore?

Or is it all less formal?

Do i have to wear a tie?

In bed?!?...

Loujalou · 25/02/2010 13:24

Unbuff it could be like AA. Not sure what to call it though. Maybe WHTMSA. Am at work so won't explain what that means - you can guess yourselves!!!

Unbuffy · 25/02/2010 13:26

ps feel a tiny bit of an imposter as had mmc a month ago which means that i'm only on the 1st ttc cycle since a 3 month break . But already getting sore and bored (again...) so am cheerfully gatecrashing.

PollyPoo · 25/02/2010 13:31

Lou exactly! Who knows where that dream might have taken me.

I made it CD25, 10DPO - not brilliant but an improvement on both compared to the last few months. I couldn't help hoping for a miracle but guess I am just going to have to gear myself up for the SWI soon.... sigh.

Still, more needles and herbs to look forward to on Monday... and so it goes on. Ever feel like its groundhog day month?

stuffedmk · 25/02/2010 13:58

Mr stuffed has gone off in a huff.
At least I can eat some chocolate without disaproving looks for a couple of hours lol.

Icedlemonmuffin · 25/02/2010 18:09

Good evening bus whores ! Bit quiet ,we need some moaning and groaning about ttc and daft sperm killing ohs.

I read a while ago about a lesbian couple who got pregnant after ordering sperm off a website. It was sent frozen from America and it worked. Mad or what.
No cock involved or sore bits!!

OP posts:
Unbuffy · 25/02/2010 18:55

I live in a small and very 1950s village (bear with me...). We have a lesbian couple who ran a health food shop for a while (not terribly popular in a place where average age is 120). They, or at least one of them, is currently pregnant. Not sure how that happened/works, but it's going to be interesting finding out what the WI brigade makes of it all...

Incidently, while decorating bedroom in new house found some raaaather odd dents in the wall at about bedhead hight... don't really want to speculate...

No stories about interesting Sperm Killing I'm afraid BUT dh does work at a nuclear power station... (but doesn't glow in the dark...)

liahgen66 · 25/02/2010 20:36

no sperm killing stories here either, sorry but i have to say i am sodding fed up of having sex every other day. We have been at it for bloody weeks now with a 4 day break last weekend and enough already!!

Day 28 of a normally 26 day cycle. Post erpc so stupid body has cottoned on to the fact that something needs to be happening.

Tis a swi night tonight, and i can't be bothered. Of course i amgoing to be bothered and get on with it but

aggggghhhhhhh

Ahhh.

Loujalou · 25/02/2010 21:17

Go Lia you know you want to. Just think of the baby that you are going to make. Well that is what keeps me going when I am bored in need of inspiration.

liahgen66 · 25/02/2010 21:23

ha and i'm out of batteries

catherineEarnshaw · 25/02/2010 21:48

I am sooo jealous of you lot with short cycles
i have lloooooooong drawn out horribly tortuous cycles and its so dull. In totally preoccupied some would say mad calculations i today worked out that most people have 13 cycles a year - i have 9 ...grrrrr

anyway i think i am 7 dpo today but could be 6 or even 5 depending on how soon after smiley face i ovulated and the test was negative

i know i shouldn't but i have cheapo ones from babywishes and there are 100 of them

arrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

thanks girls feel better now
