Tthf

[Moondance]

In an effort to cheer everyone up, let me tell you about one of my birds.

We have 4 birds. 2 live indoors and 2 outside in an aviary.
Buddy is an antisocial grumpy budgie, and Fletcher is a paper obsessed overly hormonal cockatiel.

Lola and Xander are my Alexandrine Parrots who live outside, we are hoping that they will bless us with some babies in spring.

Anyway, Fletcher as I said is over-sexed. He has a bachelor pad behind the fridge where he likes to drag pieces of paper and hide out until an unsuspecting person enters the kitchen to get a drink or whatever. You open the fridge and BAM bird attacks your foot!! He is psycho!

Right now he is masturbating. He has a wooden peg attached to the top of his cage which he pleasures himself against several times a day. First thing he does every morning when his cage is uncovered and opened is get up on top and rub himself on that peg. We have tried to remove the peg but he becomes so frantic and agitated that we have to put it back.

So there you go, tthf!! Fletcher does...

omg, ROFL, what a pervy bird! LOL
You needs to video tape him and upload.

I've been a bit trying to stay away from the TTHF lately... as I know the whole purpose was to have fun, but lately a lot of people are obsessing and being sad and I've been coming on to see some fun stuff and all, but then there is just sadness.

Awww Moondance I guess you just have to take the bad with the good. Even when you are trying to have fun there are still times when those you are used to having fun with will get down, so I guess you just have to try and be supportive and wait until things come back up

Thankyou bb, well said.

I wanted to respond to you moondance but as I am feeling a bit emotional today I wasn't sure what to say. We all get a little down from time to time, I am sure you understand. I love this group and everyone in it. I think we are doing so well keeping on the lighter side of this ttc business but it is emotional and we need to give ourselves permission to feel what we feel, when we feel it or we (will I know I would) go bonkers!!!

Yeah, it makes sense... I just always thought thats what our other threads were for, with the monthly or seasonal threads, like the V-Day thread, St. Patty's day thread, etc etc...
But never mind me, I'm probably guilty of it as well.
I haven't been paying much attention to BnB of late, as I said at the start of this cycle that I would chillax and not freak out so much and thats what I'm trying to do, despite my body confusing me at times and the quite big possibility of having to miss out on this cycle.

Moondance Isn't that we are here for to help and cheer each other along its only natural we get get down esp when the arrives its a rollercoaster of emotions, I know you have had some bad days and we have offered support it is life I am afraid it is not natural to be constantly on a high we all have our off days. sometimes just writing down how we feel here is therapy in itself knowing that some one here understands exactly how you feel and has words of wisdom to get us through the day. then some one has a great story to bring a smile or a laugh. its wont last soon we will all be back to our cheerful self's till the rollercoaster start again.
or has a wicked story about a masturatbating bird ,

Soph hun I know how you feel, take some me time and I hope you are ok we are here for youoh and were did you get that bird I have heard of dogs giving themselves blow jobs but a bird

Hello my lovely ladies,

I have been busy all weekend and haven't had much time to look at BnB - I've been having withdrawal symptoms!

I am going to leave this site for a while, while I may pop in and see how you are all doing I need a break - its just been far too much this month.

Good luck to all of you. I hope there will be lots of BFPs soon and that you will all have healthy happy pregnancies. I may not be gone long, then again I don't know. I need to sort things out with DH and me and it will probably mean forgetting about a baby for a while though I say that but know I cannot do it.

Tanikit, I think everyone else has said it so well already, but know that we are here for you when/if you feel like stopping by. I am so sorry that things are hard at the moment and I really hope that things begin to work themselves out soon. You know what you need better than anyone, so I won't try and tell you anything - but just know that we will be here when you feel you need us to be

I thought I would follow suit MyTurn and change my avatar! This picture is what I want! Everything feels so different this cycle and I keep telling myself I am going to get a bfp this cycle, but the test keep telling me bfn.... I wish they would just give up and agree with ME!

Hang in there love! Still pretty early.....it's awesome that you are feeling so different this cycle, that is such a good sign. A million fingers are crossed for you!!

LuckyD - how cool is that about your job offer! Did you get along with the people you spoke with? Do you think you'll be happy there? I hope you'll be ok with 3 months full time. Hey, at least it will take your mind off, you know, stuff. Hee. I'm really happy for you!

Thanks love x yep, I think that I will take the job...sounds like a pretty good deal. How are you doing? I have been thinking of you over the weekend...hope you enjoyed 'Survivor'

Well, AF is due very shortly for me.... Going back and forth between obsessing and finding the ability to just accept that whatever happens is going to happen. Kinda strange! Glad to have you ladies to remind me to TTHF!!!!

You sound just like me Squirrel! AF due any moment...but am going back and forth as well. I think that I am going to be ok when/if AF arrives. Hope you are doing ok!!!!!! Hang in there x

An Update on Molly - she is doing ok, i went to see her this morning and we shared some special us time in the paddock at the vets, no one else was around, I think I am the only one who visits there horse at the vets!!

I love the idea about the avatar, I think I will find one of a pony with a bump in the hopes that after all of this Molly is in foal.

So glad to hear that Molly is doing well! That is good news. I wanna see a pony with a bump!

Hi ladies, slept in and don't have time for a big response because I am now running very late for a dance workshop!
I didn't bother testing this morning because me temps have plummeted. I guess the witch will be visiting soon, but it's ok, I've made peace with it. Onwards and upwards!!! I think this cycle I am going to have to throw away my allergy medications, I think they are giving me a hostile vagina!!

Oh sorry Soph glad you feel at peace with things if AF arrives xx your bird story is hilarious!

Celtic - how you doing lovely lady? Hope you are ok xx you spend so much time supporting everyone here, you are truly sweet. Hope you are feeling ok

Julia - thanks for your symptom list! Not that I need anything to encourage me to obsess at the moment...still so excited for you!!!

Moondance - that's not cool about your brother! Is he older or younger? Hope he apologised!

I think that while TTHF is all about trying to have fun (obviously) I wouldn't want anyone to feel that they shouldn't share when they are feeling down...I guess I see TTHF to be about encouraging each other not to obsess too much and remember the fun stuff in life, but this is such a crazy rollercoaster, especially for those that have been TTC for a while, that it is only natural to have some ups and downs along the way.

This thread has brought me a lot of laughs and a lot of smiles, but also a lot of comfort knowing that if I have a bad day or am feeling particuarly down, that everyone here will be there for me. Thanks everyone xx

I have been offered the job that I had the interview on Friday - yay! I wasn't looking for fulltime work at this point, but they have offered me full time for three months then down to three days a week. It's a good job, lot of responsbility but should be interesting - so I think I am going to call them tomorrow and say yes.

Hope you are all doing well - I really do. for everyone.

Thanks love! Yeah, I am pleased - it's only been a few months of looking for work but feels like waaaaay longer - I am ready to get stuck into something new, so should be good!

Awesome that your maca is kicking in - I am hearing so many good things about this, I think I may have to try it! Hope that your appointment goes well on Tuesday and that you get some answers. I have a few thyroid problems (slightly underactive) which I am now trying to correct...it can definitely muck your body around. What are you getting your blood tests for? Are you looking for some things in particular or just a general kind of check? Really hope it goes well xxxx

Im getting my blood sugars checked, plus thyroid function I think mine might be low, did you have any symptoms, I am finding it hard to lose weight Ive never had a problem before Ive always been slim well you know normal now I feel horrible and fat but its my health not how I look concerns me I do not want to be unhealthy or put on any more weight. I keep getting thrush as well, so Im hoping its not a sign of high sugars. the doctor gave me a tablet but then rang me to say it was not ok for me to take TCC even though Im on a break! so just in case DH has it and giving it back to me I gave that to him and I have a lovely cream to insert in my lady bits every evening oh and a cream for my mouth as its there as well I haven't temped the last few mornings mighty do closer to OV so I can check my LP length.

How are you doing no sign of AF yet I hope!

Ah, the cream you have to insert - fun times! Sounds like good things to check out. My main sign of thyroid issues was that I was constantly tired, just couldn't get any energy - I thought it was because I was vegetarian and wasn't getting enough iron, and that probably didn't help, but turns out my thyroid was playing a big part too. I had really low iodine too, which can affect thyroid function. Hope you get some answers sweet! I know how frustrating it is when there are things going on in your body and you don't know why. It can really drive you crazy. Poor you with thrush in your mouth as well - that sound horrible. Feel better soon!

AF hasn't arrived yet...but the sore BBs are making me think it won't be long ti she turns up.

 

[soph77]

Lucky, awesome news on the job, congratulations!! It will be good to throw yourself into something else too, to take your mind of all this ttc malarkey!

Niamh, I am so glad you are getting your health sorted out. I have put on quite a bit of weight which I cannot seem to shift, no matter how much exercise I do and how well I eat. I am not hugely overweight but I just feel uncomfortable in my skin. I hope you get some answers and are fit and happy in no time

I have been feeling really tired as well, no energy some days worse than others, my kids are well looked after pity I can not say the same about my house its a mess LOL but going to clean it today and do the garden.

You never know how cool would it be to have another BFP there was 7 on the May thread!!! 1 on the MACA thread I follow as well. well 3 in total so far about time as well they have been slow coming!

 

[LuckyD]

Lucky, awesome news on the job, congratulations!! It will be good to throw yourself into something else too, to take your mind of all this ttc malarkey!

Thanks lady! Yeah, not working REALLY doesn't help with the obsessing...there aren't enough distractions! I am barely going to have time to think about symptoms next month I reckon....(as if)

How are you and your dirty bird doing? Is AF still staying away? xx

Thanks soph, thats how I feel as well, I sometimes still picture the old me then look in the mirror and go whoa who the hell is that!!! LOL time to get healthy even if I lost a stone Ild feel so much better I think Im very small in height so cant really afford to carry extra weight. Its so hard to shift it sometimes. I did really well after christmas lost nearly a stone and have stalled now and no matter what I do it creeps up again. I will defeat it and get my body back! then prob get pregnant and start all over again

 

[CelticNiamh]

Well talk later lovely ladies, Im off to clean house with DH and kids help have a lovely day or evening were ever you are
