Team 2012 Bundle of Joy - Dragons in the Making!

I love Alton Towers - although it's been ages since I've been. I work for the NHS - is that £80 a night rate available to all NHS employees...?

AFM - still no positive opk and no temp rise so no idea what is happening Going to try and seduce my OH again today that would make it every other day since CD14 so I'm hoping that if I do ovulate today/tomorrow which I'm expecting but I miss the surge then I should still be covered.

FX'd pink!

Emma I believe it is, you just have to phone the hotel and explain to them you would like to claim your NHS discount and ask what the going rate is. I haven't stayed in the hotel as we have usually managed to find cheaper accomodation fairly close by so we will have to see Not too sure what to suggest about your lack of a surge hun, I am forever missing min Is your second line slowly getting darker?

Rachael good luck on twisting Ian's arm

 

[Rachael1981]

If I have a job that pays ok then it shouldn't be a problem

 

[pink80]

It's got darker and lighter and then darker and now the one I just took was almost invisible! I don't know Anyway I've obviously become a seductress 3 times in 5 days is almost unheard these days

How is everyone today?

Another set back emotional wise today. DH cousin who is five years older then us has been ttc for 4 months and we had been emailing each other a bit and I was trying to share tips etc. She emailed me this morning to let me know they are expecting Don't get me wrong I am over-joyed that they are pregnant but at the same time it just makes me feel very lonely It was nice having someone I personally knew that was on the ttc journey and struggling to acheive that dream, now that she has I just feel that it has highlighted how much we are failing that little bit more.

I am trying to keep my spirits up but at the moment I just feel that it is all a bit pointless and there is no help to turn to

Danielle. I completely understand how you feel. It does not seem fair that everyone else gets pregnant so easily and it can be SO difficult for other people. It took me well over a year to conceive DS #1. I lost it when my cousin's gf found out she was pregnant. I was so angry at that moment, even though I was happy for them. You can always talk to us about it. I wish there was more I could do.

[pink80]

Danielle, I know how you feel, it's totally understandable. Have you thought anymore about contacting the PCT regarding their policy on fertility xxx

 

[alaricsmom]

Hello ladies. I hope this isn't a bad time for this. I've struggled with whether or not I should post this yet because of the day you had Danielle, but I would like to tell you all before I change my ticker and what not. Tonight I took three tests, and they all were positive. I'm really sorry about the timing. I just thought that you all would want to know.

 

[gilmore85]

So sorry Danielle

Congratulations!!

Don't be sorry about the timing this is a happy time for you enjoy it

Danielle.... don't feel bad about feeling mad.... it's a very very natural emotion!!! At some point, in the not too distant future, you'll be getting your BFP and hopefully it'll be soon enough that you can share the journey with this cousin

Alaricsmom, Congratulations honey! That's fabulous news! Bless you for being so aware for the others feelings! I sometimes find it difficult to post messages of support in here, because I keep thinking it might upset someone... but I know that they will all be thrilled for you! It's always good news when one of our own (ladies in the thread) get a BFP!

 

[gilmore85]

Well that dreaded day is getting nearer, my BIL gf is due to give birth next week. Don't know if you know the history or not so I'll do a brief update,

It was back in January hubby gets a text off his little brother at about 2am saying that Carl (OH) is going to be an uncle, well we were very confused as we knew he didn't have a gf at the time so due to the fact it was the early hours we just thought that his mates had got his phone and were messing about.

then the next day his brother called asking if we had got the text and he explained that he didn't have a gf they had met at his house party back in october lasted about a month then she gets in touch saying she is pregnant

well long story short he has now gave up his flat and moved in with her and her mother, put themselves on the council list then slag the council off as for once they are actually doing their job and not just giving someone a house, so when that didn't work started to look for private rented houses then slag them off beacuse they want professional couples only and he works in a shop and she doesn't work and in her words she 'can't work and raise a child' she lives her life on facebook and hasn't gone a day without complaining about her pregnancy

 

[pink80]

Congratulations Jenny so pleased for you xxx

Amy I can understand your frustrations, when is the baby due? Do you see much if them? How does your OH feel about it all? Xx

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Jenny I am so happy for you hun bless you so much for considering other people's feelings before announcing but there is no way I could ever feel anything other then joy for the lovely ladies on my thread that have gotten their Actually you are our first on this thread so huge congratulations!!!!! Now I demand you go and change that ticker so we can all see that baby progressing

Amy I am really sorry hun I would imagine that being in that position is terrible and I really feel for you. I don't condemn any-one that 'accidentally' falls pregnant but the fact that all she has done is moan about her pregnancy and then get ratty when society does not drop everything to accommodate her and her unplanned pregnancy proves that they are perhaps not very nice people. Try and focus on the fact that you and OH will be such better parents as you seem like a wonderful person who is truly caring. Your baby is planned, you will have battled and toiled to get there and you will cherish it that much more because of your struggles

Thank you very much for all your kind words, I do feel like a bit of a tit for getting all sulky but I know that you all understand as we are all in the same boat. Oddly I had a hair-cut this morning and it turns out my lovely hair-dresser has been struggling to conceive for 4 years, lost unplanned twins just before this and has been rejected for FS treatment three times! She has finally just been accepted for IVF and has been put straight on clomid. It was so nice chatting to someone face to face about how crap it all is and knowing that we will always be able to have a natter and compare notes when I go for my cut. It has also made me realise that our struggle is nothing compared to others and I should stop feeling so down about it. Yes we may have to wait 15 months before being seen by a specialist but this lady has gone through double that and is finally getting there.

Weirdly since stopping all of my EPO and star-flower oil I seem to have a lot more CM Not too sure what to make of that one

Baby is due on 27th July will be my first nephew (my sister has 3 girls) and we don't see them that much so it will be strange as my sister lives in the next street to mine so i see my nieces all the time so knowing that im not going to see my nephew much is upsetting as for OH he said that it hasn't really sunk in and that it should be us

 

[gilmore85]

to be honest i think they will be good parents but its just so frustrating as well no one knows we are trying so just have to keep smiling I've got nothing against them just having a down day and needed to rant!
