Thanks ladies xx I induldged in some shoe shopping yesterday....nothing like a bit of retail therapy, then ate a twirl and some malteasers!!

I think I really will try this month to relax a bit more, I'm not planning on noting down symptoms as i usually do (even though no doubt i will be looking out for them lol) will also try limit my time here to once a day all this is easier said than done of course

Yes heard about Karen Hardy, that gives me hope!! If she can do it then so can we

Some retail therapy is always helpful, along with the chocs.
I have not been recording my symptoms as much lately either, more cos I don't see the point, always the same outcome I do notice them still though. I honestly don't think I could only come on here once a day, eeek...I am addicted.

So 8dpo for me, I have been so preoccupied that I haven't been looking for signs this cycle. A couple of things have just happened though that made me notice like my dog jumped on me yesterday and boobs hurt when he did it...doesn't really mean anything as I often get sore boobs and only other thing is I felt a little queasy this morning, think that was cos I was a bit hot.

Sooo, made a decision today after I have found out the manager and assistant manager are lying to me. They deducted money from my wage for a Monday that was a training day. I have Mondays off so didn't need to go in, the Tuesday was a training day too. They told me they deducted the money cos everyone stayed late on the Monday to make up for not going in on the Tuesday. I know for a fact they are lying and everyone left at 1.30. My friend who works there told me. My boss told me everyone stayed til 5. So I got deducted a days pay even though it was my day off!! I am handing in my resignation this week, its the last straw. I have had enough of the jibes about how fertile the assistant manager is (when she knows I have had miscarriages) and digs about disabilities (my son has autism). Its a horrible place and its time to go. I don't think it helps ttc and I just hope it won't be long before I find something else.
Sorry for the essay just need to get it out, have been so upset since leaving work today, I work so hard, I am the favourite of a lot of the children and I do all the weekly planning which is a managers job with no extra pay. I am done with it all now xx

 

[stacesl3]

Well I'm not doing very well so far with the once a day thing!!! lol! I have been noting down symptoms since May of last year, the only month I missed was the one I got my BFP.... typical

Oh lisey, they sound like absolute bi&ches!!! Thats just out right cruel saying things like that. not to mention very prejudice - there are not a lot of places you could get away with making jibes about disabilities etc. I Seriously hope their kids are little shi&ts who give them so much grief and steal from them!!!! And surely they are not allowed to just deduct money from your wages like that?? thats outregeous, is there anyone above them you can complain to?
I'm glad to hear you have decided to resign, it sound so stressful, its just a shame you have had to. Hopefully you will find somewhere where you are appreciated and where people are actually respectful. xxx

 

[lisey]

That happened to me too with my last bfp, it was the month I didn't note much down lol. I still put the odd thing down but just haven't really noticed anything worth putting this month.

Lol, Stace, I love it. I hope their children do that too haha. They are v careful about their jibes, they don't do it infront of the manager but the worst thing is the one who does it is the assistant manager. They are just so nasty, I feel better already knowing I am leaving xx

 

[Dee28]

Good for you lisey, life is too short to put up with such crap xx

 

[kees164]

hi just wanted to say to all the long term ttc i have been trying for 3 years and finally only yesterday i got my BFP !! so please please keep positive xxx

 

[snowbee]

Great news congratulations!

Prior to TTC I never realised how hard this journey can be, I know we don't know each personally but over the months we share our stories and we make strong bonds and we become vested in each others stories and we support each other. I share things here that I don't share with my close friends and I so want us to have our 'happy ever afters' . I was so upset last night to read in Hopefuls journal that her little baby bean had become an angel. It was devastating news, I'm at a loss for words this morning. Sending lots of hugs and strength to Hopeful and her family at this extremely tough time xxxxx

 

[Dee28]

Indeed it's been a mixed morning hasn't it. Absolutely devastated for Hopeful and also bowled over by lucyboos amazing miracle bfp. Just got to keep trying, hard though it may be at times xxx

I agree totally! I really only have one friend who knows about my ttc journey so its really difficult for me at time, my own fault in some ways as I find it so hard to open up. It's lovely that we all support each other and I would be genuinely happy for any of the ladies on this boat to get their bfp xx
Only just read about hopeful, absolutely gutted for her, I dont understand why life is so cruel sometimes

 

[stacesl3]

Congratulations Kees164, lovely news. Happy and healthy 9 months hun xx

 

[lisey]

Congrats Kees, I haven't read about lucyboo yet, that is fab news. Going to search the forum in a sec.

I have just read about hopeful and I really feel so sad. I have never met any of you but there is such a connection between us all. Its hard to read about upset amongst my PF friends, so sad xx

 

[stacesl3]

Hey ladies

Hope you are all well, I am so tired today, i could literally fall asleep at my desk on a positive note its almost lunchtime and I my stuff has come today that I ordered woo hoo

 

[lisey]

Hope you enjoyed your lunch and that you have managed to stay awake xx

 

[PurpleCloud]

Hey ladies, how are you all doing? I've had some time away from here and everything really. Had a bit of a meltdown.
You know how sometimes it just gets to you? All the little things become huge and you just become are irrational.... Yep, well that was me. What's new here?

Thinking of you hopeful. Xxx

 

[lisey]

Purple, I am having those times more often than not these days but its more a general feeling of misery. I hope you feel a little better now? xx

 

[FBTTN8079]

Girls I'm back on the boat, sorry I was offshore for a while sunning myself
No honeymoon baby I'm afraid so CD7 today and we start all the meds on CD21 we also have fertility nurse appt on Monday morning to go through the plan again xxx

 

[lisey]

Hi sarah, welcome back. Sorry the witch arrived but pleased you had a great wedding and honeymoon. Exciting that you can start your IVF journey now, hopefully its all leading to your bfp xx

I am 11dpo today, pretty sure the witch will arrive, I feel AFish. I didn't have signs of AF at this stage last month or the month before-I gather because of the progesterone I am taking so wasn't expecting it this time. I am very very stressed though so it might be why. Going to make our appointment to discuss IVF this month, scary and exciting in a way xx
