Louise: Ahh awesome! I have never been to Australia, but I've always wanted to go! I'm from England

Argh! You must be so stressed out with your cycle right being like that?! If I was a week late I think I'd be climbing the walls! AF is evil!

My cycles have changed recently, I was used to having a 33/35 day cycle, ovulating around day 20/23. But I had a chemical in December and ever since then I'm suddenly O'ing around cycle day 13/14
I'm on 11DPO at the moment, and although I've been having unusual pains since 5DPO... I think I'm beginning to see brown CM so I reckon I'm out, again! I hate AF so much, it's intensely painful for me, and has been getting progressively worse, to the point where I want someone to call an ambulance or hope that I lose consciousness in order to stop feeling the pain.
I don't know what it is about DH, he tells me he's absolutely fine with it and that he'll do it. But he just seems paranoid about it and hasn't bothered to sort it out (he knows that I can't do it for him as I never can tell when he's going to be working)

I don't blame you about people saying stuff to him, they wouldn't dare (or hopefully wouldn't) say it to a woman, so why is it any different?
It is quite intense, they like to volunteer with children (which I already do anyway), have pets in most cases (apparently they ask the children if they would like their new family if they had a dog, and if you do, you can get higher). In total I think it takes around 6-12 months. Which is why I want to get started, particularly if we found out something was wrong.
Although... That would finally mean admitting to my parents about having children! They'll not be happy!
I don't understand how people think you can relax in TTC? I think, eat, sleep TTC everyday! I don't know what I'd fill my days with

If you want something so badly, how can you stop thinking about it?? I also hate the 'you're young' mantra. Yes, I am young... So shouldn't that make TTC easier?
It's like in my area, as far as I'm aware I cannot start IVF until I'm 23 (luckily only 9 months away)... I will never understand! Why should I get such a low priority? Infertility is no less painful to someone who's younger. Surely it's not fair?!
If that girl doesn't get pregnant in May, she'll completely fall apart! I was naive though, I thought it would be easy! First month, BFP, no problem... And since then the months have gone on and on

I think I'm finding it more and more painful as time goes on.
Rachael: luckily yes, I have a couple of friend who are really good with me. Albeit they think I'm slightly crazy, but then they know my situation and I'm not one to go by the rule book so!
My family, well, my mother is the worst! She hates the fact that I want to become a mum young, that I'm throwing my life away. When I told her that I intended to become a mum towards the end of my degree, she hit the roof and gave me a list of things she wanted me to do before I had children. She's wished my life differently, I'm very much a calm introverted person who works hard. But she's said she wished I'd go out, party and take drugs over getting pregnant. Who says that to their grown up, married daughter?!
Ironically, if she'd fallen pregnant with me straight away, she would've been only 3 years older than I am at the moment. But it took her 7 years.
How are both of your families about you TTC?
Oh bless Sadie! She sounds so cute, I'm sorry about her eye. What a shame! Dogs always bounce back from anything don't they? Yeah, we were asked to take Roly after our last dog passed away. He's wonderful! Not the best of behaved, but he's an absolute mummy's boy!
I have no idea if the go blind early in life if I'm honest? I know that they can have a lot of genetic problems, but they tend to show quite early on I believe?
It's so sad for the children when they're basically emotionally neglected like that. The problem is that they'll grow up into little tearaways with little respect for anything. But it's all in the parenting. I really feel sorry for them, they don't deserve to be brought into this world to be treated like that
Wow! That was epic!
