Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[Ella_Hopeful]

I didn't like the movie UP its to sad and depressing! I don't know why they would make a children's movie like that

You didn't find the rest of the movie inspiring and *up*lifting? It's true--both the old man and the little boy (can't remember names right now) have very sad back stories. (Although I don't think the story of their marriage is more sad than not--it's a beautiful love story--but he's definitely grieving at the point that the movie really begins.) I personally loved that, as there's a lot of sadness in the world and it's good for children's movies to address that, I think. What I loved most was the wonder and adventure that came out of such sadness. While the rest of the movie is very good (SQUIRREL!), it's those first 10 minutes or so that transcend the movie into genius for me.

I didn't find it inspiring either... I tried to... but I couldn't get over thinking about the fact that this old man had lost his wife who was his everything and was all alone... and they never had kids... and now he's having all these adventures without her... even though technically it was 'for her' or she was very much thought of throughout the movie, she was dead

Thank you I hope they do also, I am a mess today - there is no way I'm going to be able to get anything done at work. It's all I keep thinking about.

just logged in to check your numbers jlynn!

I settled down round a family members house to watch up - was completely unprepared and then spent the whole film struggling not to cry - I found the film utterly depressing. Life is bad/cruel enough, when I watch a film I want escapism, not a reminder of the depressing future that could await us

DH is improving, but still thinks it will be months until we can start ttc again

 

[J_Lynn]

Tarot- I know, I know Haven't tested yet (since the 8dpo one that was a waste of time)... longest I've ever gone without testing! lol

 

[J_Lynn]

[J_Lynn]

YA J Lynn I'm so happy for you!!!

Tarot- I know, I know Haven't tested yet (since the 8dpo one that was a waste of time)... longest I've ever gone without testing! lol

You ladies are much braver than me - my anxiety would always prevent me from testing. The ONLY reason I tested this month was because of my progesterone running out and my doctor made me test so I knew if I needed more or not. Otherwise, I could never bring myself to test - the anxiety of it got the best of me and it would send me into panic attacks :/ I'm such a spazz

Great news J Lynn

 

[cntrygrl]

I will probably breakdown and test somewhere around the 10-12dpo mark. It's so hard not to. Last month I tested out the HCG shot to see when it would be out of my system. It was weird seeing the two lines and knowing you weren't actually pregnant.

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Congrats

Ella, Feisty--sorry you didn't enjoy Up! Hope I didn't recommend something that was depressing for you!

Cd 1 today ho to the doctor on the 11th for an u/s and start femera Sunday. Only doing femera for now til we can afford injections again. But I want to get some things done around the house and paid off before we do that.

I wish I had the opportunity to count DPO and test but its all pointless for me. Bring on IVF!

I'm just getting ready for work. I signed for a new job yesterday start end of July and no more working weekend. Apprehensive about starting new job and IVF around the same time!

Hope you girls are all ok.
