Alice: Sorry you're feeling down. I guess you put yourself through this because the end result is so wonderful when it happens that it's hard to resist trying as long as you can. And it can happen. Just a little story to inspire you: I know of someone who married young (early 20's) then tried for a baby till she was nearly 40 when she fell pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. (Not sure if it was natural or IVF but whatever it was it worked). So that could be you. I guess it must always be scary working up to a new cycle. Maybe you'll feel better once it's actually underway? Sending you hugs and some virtual chocolate! x
Saffy: I was a lurker for a while too and thought i wouldn't need to join but i'm glad i did. Hope you enjoy posting till you get your BFP.
MissK: sorry for BFN. You can do everything right and it's still a bit of a mystery as to why it doesn't just work. But you will get there...next month is a fresh chance.
SammyP: It's natural to think of your baby around their EDD even if they only stayed with you a short time. Sorry for your loss.
Murray Cod: getting excited for it to get to May for you and tests over with and on to the good stuff.
T-Hopes: can sympathise with the chafing! Last month's efforts led to a roaring case of thrush (ahem..TMI, sorry!) Is it really true that lube interferes with conception?..cos the products usually say that they are NOT effective as contraception. As for the egg whites I'm imagining something very 'Naked Gun' (doesn't someone cook eggs and two strips of bacon on someone's sizzling stomach in a BD scene?!) Let us know how it goes...i'm not sure i can bring myself to try it! I believe that any sort of edible oil (eg olive) is also a possibility...seem to remember reading something about this...mind you I haven't tried it!
Crafty: lmao with images of bottoms on cushions! What dedication to your goals!
Ferrals: lol about chafing undies. Poor you: It's always these practical things that make TTC difficult isn't it?!
Jellylove good luck with testing
Milly good luck too
Mathews mum: well done on the results.
Sunbeam: nice to hear from you. Will look forward to hearing how it goes. Take care of yourself.
Kitfaerie: hope you had nice snuggle on couch!
OMG, I think I just threw up in my mouth again........
Between imagining Ferrals with her Bejayjay smuggler, and Thopes whipping up some free range eggs, I am so not going to be able to shut my eyes to go to sleep!!!!
PS, I am never going to look at an omlette the same LMAO
My tummy hurts from laugh'n at you girls.....
Happy Bding, oh!! And for the knob burn comment...........OMG....just spit on it
Wow - never heard of the egg thing. Dont think id be able too lol.
AFM - Well im really not - got AF last night. 27 days. eh. So starting all over again.
Doctor said its not good for people to have to much vitamin A when trying to concieve. Have you been told the same?
Thanks for the welcome everyone, I feel at home already!
MissK- how disappointing for you, I hope it was just a false alarm before a big BFP next month x
Craftymummy-yes its definately a long, hard road, I naively thought TTC would be fun! I never in a million years expected this to happen, but at least there are people who understand- even though I wouldn't wish this on anyone x
Dory- thanks for the welcome and so glad things are going well for you x
Murrycod- the 1st week is the worse, better to get down to the 'business end' of your cycle so to speak, hope it goes quickly for you x
T Hopes- We definately have had some lubrication issues, resulting in thrush etc. Makes it wose that I am on Clomid atm, lets just say it dries you up a bit! I just bought something called "concieve plus" that I saw in a chemist made by a company called sasmar, I saw that forelife make one as well but couldn't find it in shops. I'll let you know how it goes, haven't used it yet. Good luck with your eggwhite in the meantime! x
jellylove- sounds promising- x
ferrals-sounds like you are busy at the moment so won't disturb you! x
possummagic-thanks for the welcome hon x
mildez- sorry you got AF, hope this month is the one for you x
I'm just waiting for Af due in 4 days, have had really sore breasts for the last few days bu this is normal for me now for about the past year- I think Ferrals was having the same problem? Only ever used to get them for a day or two before AF, now its a week or two, the joys of getting more , ahem, mature!
Well guess I won't be having eggs for breakfast.....
Jellylove - can't wait to hear how you've gone this morning.
Also wanted to say thanks to the lovely ladies in this forum that have made my stay here welcome. Its obviously been a pretty quick turn around for me, so I know I am lucky. But I do want to say that its been made easier because of your understanding. I mean some things you just can't say on the regular ttc thread, and when I posted here everyone understood. So thanks ladies - and I'll be sending out lots of sticky vibes your way.
Morning Everyone,
You girls have me laughing so hard reading all these posts!!!!
knob burn, granny undies with saggy boobs ahhhh its brightened my day....
T - hopes - how did your vjj omelette go? suitable? I prefer wet stuf, bit messy but good.
Ferrals - Hope DH was prepared for his molesting!
Alice - I hope today is a brighter day for you! Thinking of you hun xxx
Saffy - Big welcome, it sux to be here, but everyone is so supportive!
Jelly - im waiting to hear what I hope will be a BFP!
Mildez - Good to hear from you, hope Af leaves pronto!
Millyd, Kitf, Wouldloveabubba, MathewsMum - hope you are doing well.
Murraycod - I hope the pathologists are being gentle with your veins! I always bruise bad, hopefully not much longer to go!
AFM - Still no Af, but i never know how long I could be waiting! anywhere from 28 to 38 days.
Hope everyone has a good day!

Ferrals – i know how you mean about being down in the dumps with all the pregnant people around. I just had DF’s cousin ring me to tell me she’s pregnant – even tho I am happy for her, today I feel upset etc....just as I think I am coping something else comes up to put me back where I was. ROFL about ur new undies and crack chaffing – you poor thing hope it gets better
Matthew’s mum – fingers crossed that the emby sticks
Murraycod – ur not old sweety – i turn 30 in august!!!
T-hopes – so sorry to hear about ur dad, hope it all goes well and I hope you caught the eggy
Jellylove – how did you go this morn, praying that it’s that BFP
Alice - some days are harder than others, just as I think that I’m fine something will smack me in the face and put me back where I was
Sammy - to you as well!!
Millyd – praying that you caught the eggy. Looks like we are in the TWW together
Sunbeam – hope you get better real soon. Yay for 2 follies and a good sperm count
Saffy – hi, so sorry that you are joining us but the girls are great in here
Missk - oh sweety, hopefully next month is ur month
Dory – so glad you’re travelling well
Mildez – so sorry AF has showed up, hoping next month is ur month
AFM – DF’s cousin rang to tell me she’s pregnant, took it well but today is a write off. Never thought it would hurt this much. I try to stay strong for everyone around me but deep down I have days where I know I’m not coping but just suck it up. In the TWW so will see what happens in a couple of weeks
Hope you all have a great day lovelies oxox
OMG!!! i think i just dribbled from laughing so much murrycod you crack me up
The knob burn comment with just spit on it brought back memories of being a teenager fumbling around in the back seat of a car ummm! you imagine the rest lol.
Mildez-sorry AF showed her face this month but like you said on to the next cross fingers for you.
MissK-Sorry AF turned up at your place also and i have heard to much vitamins is not good i was told to take 500mg of iodine after losing abbi to help with the cells in our embies and to help pass on the good genes but then after taking it for a year i was told to cut back as it is not got to take for to long.
Saffy-is that what we call it mature! my body is getting older but my mind just doesnt want to keep up and the sore boobs is a pain in the butt it use to be a great indication for me that i was pregnant now they are always sore after i O.
I hope AF doesn't turn up and you have a sneaky BFP.
Iona Macca-I know it p###es me off where i work they are everywhere and i would be ok with it if they were deserving people but they are not the one i was talking about the other day who didn't really want to be pregnant and is a drugo smoking bimbo i worked with her on sunday night and all she whinged about was how fat she is going to get and that she is already putting on weight so she is not going to give up smoking because it will help keep her weight down i was like how dumb are you i would glady put on 50kg to have my Abbi back and i said if anything happens to this baby you will never forgive yourself but it went in one ear and out the other.
AFM-nothing to report from me just the same S##t different month.
Good morning ladies, well I was in no rush to get up this morning as I didn't go to bed until late but was woken by a nosebleed, which is very very strange as i have probably only had one in my whole life! so I was freaking out and by the time i had tissue stuffed up my nose I was awake so I tested... I think it's a BFN I mean, it's not too early to test anymore... Is it? AF's due on thursday.... maybe I'll test again then but I'm not feeling too great. I have used a preg test called "precise" - not sure whether any of you are familiar with it... it's a + sign one. well the first test i did on sunday afternoon had a very faint line and (Don't ask me why) I checked it about an hour later and the line was very thin (VERY VERY THIN!) but it was (very dark)definitely there! now this test there is no line but it looks like in the middle of the horizontal line there is the beginning of a vertical line going upwards as if there is the beginning of a positive line there. I don't know whether this will make any sense to any of you, I'll test on thursday for the last time this cycle. i have a feeling it's going to be a bfn though. I guess what I thought was implantation was AF tricking me by coming so early! Argh...
Thank you ladies for all your luck! I have such a bad headache from this nosebleed now Think I'm coming down with something.
Jellylove I have found Precise to be very imprecise! Get ye to the supermarket/chemist and get a first response. The + sign tests are known to be hard work. Try not to drink too much from now on, and in about 4-5 hours test with a 1st response and you should have a good idea.
oh jellylove, hopefully it may just be too early I know with my last pregnancy, I was so emotional a few days before AF so decided to do a test and it came back BFN. So waited until AF was late and tested again and got a BFP
Inanna - You know I thought there was something crazy about the test - just lines all over the place! I have to work this afternoon so I might not get chance to do one until i get home, but i wont drink much at work I'm glad you told me about that test. fingers crossed!
Iona Macca - Thank you hun, I'm going to try a different type of test later this afternoon.
millyd - Thank you hun, I'm going to take you ladies advice and do another
I think Inanna is right, I have only ever used 1st response and they are always easy to read! Look forward to tonight then Jelly!
Im not sure if im going to test, maybe in a few days if AF doesnt show up, but I really think we missed this month and if AF doesnt hurry up i will miss next as well cuz DH is only home for 4 days out of the next month
