I can't remember what everyone said as it is on the other thread
Angel - will post those sticks early next week if that is ok? Sorry you got a BFN but it may be too early - how regular are your cycles? Completely agree with Willmouse that the long cycles are an absolute nightmare as once you have accepted you are not pg, you just want to move on to the next month - but my mammoth cycle did have a happy ending
Am shattered tonight <big yawn> so I think I will have a very early night. DS has got a party at 10 o'clock tomorrow so no lazy Saturday morning for me. Plus the cricket season starts tomorrow (aaaggghh!) so I officially become a 'cricket widow' every Saturday which means I have to look after DS by myself - not great when I am knackered and nauseous!
No real plans for this weekend, except avoiding the family at all costs, lol! As we have our scan next week and haven't told anyone aside from my best friend, dh's boss (so he can take the time to come to the scan), my best friend and lots of internet friends (LOL!), we want to see them all next weekend. As much as I have loved having a little secret, I am very ready to tell people now. Aside from that, I have to pick up a bag of maternity clothes that some offered on Freecycle
Have had a great night out with my pg friends - but as predicted - probably had far too much to drink!
Not much p;lanned for the weekend - dh's birthday and dd at a party so we get to go out for a grown up lunch! Not sure that we will have anythign to talk about though .
Bellie- hope your head is ok! LOL Hangovers are mint aren't they!
PS I thought of something which could set the mood for your lunch with DH! Just as you leave home tell him what his birthday present is going to be when you get back
(Sorry that's a bit rude for first thing in the morning!)
HC - sounds interesting with the opk and FF matching up. How long is cycle generally?
I got the +ve opk 2 days after FF thinks I ov'd!!! Technically not possible but doubt I am some 'medical miracle'!!!!
I'm off to climb down a big hill and then come back up again - just for fun LOL
Not helped by the toilet overflowing all over the bathroom and through the ceiling into the study this morning . Has spurred us into action for getting our bathroom fixed though - some people coming round this week to measure/price etc. Have spent most of the morning mopping up and emptying the toilet so it doesn't back up any more Not a recommended cure for a hnagover!!
CE/HC I am completely confused by what ff seems to think so can't shed any light I'm afraid.
Lol at your suggestion ce for tomorrow - depends on how he behaves!! . Hill walking - that involves outside and weather doens't it? Not a good combination today I am freezing! Hope you had fun though!
just got back from my long walk..I'm sooooooo tired! It turned out to be a little more 'challenging than we expected'. My thighs are killing me! DP is running us a bath as we speak....awww.
It was nice to be out in the fresh air though and was a nice fresh day, cold but no rain.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and a) hangover's improved and b) no-one has killed their inlaws!
hi everyone. Got back from my parents today so trying to catch up but it is quite a challenge.
Just quickly, Angel glad you are sticking around. Sounds like you have made the right choice as otherwise you would have been putting your life on hold a bit til TTC next year.
Willmouse glad things have been smoothed over with the kitten.
Soosy I hope your scan goes well on Monday.
Hm2J/MJIM/Ceebee hope your scans go well.
Hope the hangover has eased a bit Bellie and the bathroom gets sorted soon.
As I have been away, I missed my Apprentice fix for the week as my parents do not watch it. My sister filled me in-sounds like the women are still making our sex look pretty ridiculous and nasty.
Hello to everyone else-will be on later when kids are in bed to try to read the thread properly.
HC - oooooooo a result at last, hopefully you will be able to pinpoint it next month too (or are you just gonna go pot luck and every other??)
bellie - awwwww poor you! i never have hangovers as dont drink, but can sympathise witht the toilet (not been there myself) but can believe it was just terrible!
CE - hope you had a lovely walk - DS and i love going out walking, but we take things slowly, what with me being pregnant and him only being 2and a half!!! hope the bath helped!
ceebee - get some rest, and hope the party went ok this morning!
well only tomorrow left to go - work morning, then to matalan to buy DS some clothes (finally moved into 18-24 size!!!), then to mums (where i have to cut DS's, DH's and Dbro's hair) and have dinner, off to church, then round to friends afterward, then home, finish packing, go to bed - phew, should keep me occupied - lol! <excited big kid emoticon, i just cannot wait!!!!>
Evening all Bellie – sounds like you have had a nightmare day – probably not helped by the hangover – but I always think a hangover is a sign of a good evening
CE – glad the walk was good. Me and DH used to go for 2-hour walks most Sundays (pre-DS). We used to set the breadmaker going before we went and come back to freshly-baked bread and cheese – I do miss those mornings.
MJIM – have a fantastic fantastic holiday. We will miss you you know
Hi to everyone else
The party went well although I don’t quite think DS has got the hang of ‘pass the parcel’ – he kept wanting to keep the parcel and unwrap it all himself!! Then we came home and each had a lovely long nap
Going to the zoo tomorrow with my sister and her 3 children – it is going to be quite a challenging – but fun – day as I don’t know where I am going to summon the energy to keep walking for hours.
ceebee - awwww thanks, not sure i get missed in many places, so is nice to feel valued hope you enjoy the zoo, lucky thing i love zoo's i think i will take DS this summer, we havent been since he was 6months old - i love it and hope he will - think we will make it one of our "special outings" as a family of 3 before baby bro/sis comes along
MJIM - me and DH have always gone to the zoo at least once a year - even pre-DS - but it is much better now with DS. This will be DS's third trip there and he is only 21 months old
oh - mjim - is Marwell good? It is about an hour from us too but we have never been. Thinking of taking dd in the summer but wondered if it was worth the drive?
Hope you have a great hol!
Toilet stopped leaking but now have wet towels everywhere just waiting for floors etc to dry out. The toilet has never been right since we moved in - I will have to bite the bullet and just get it sorted sooner rather than later.
Ce - hope the bath helped ease the legs!
Hope everyone else is having a good weekend! Trying to have an early night tonight
bellie - yes marwell is good where bouts are you (i expect and hour in the opposite direction!!!) it is expensive to go, but they have lots of animals there, a great variety if i remember correctly here is there link ......
Near Reigate in Surrey. It might be a good day out with grandparents as they are about 45 mins from Marwell so a good meeting place! Thanks for the link will have a good look.
yes, lol that is completely the opposite direction from us it is a nice day out! DH has just got in from work, and is now officially on holiday so happy - i have to work the morning (dont mind though!) and then it is it
hope you all have a lovely week - if i dont get on tomorrow (v.v.v. unlikely) i will be back next weekend
Evening all! Had an awful day really. I found I was spotting at about 11 this morning, mainly brown and mucousy, naturally I was terrified! I am sooo greatful that i have a doppler right now as I was able to reassure myself that baby is fine by listening to it's heartbeat for a minute or 2 several times today. The spotting has mainly stopped with slight tan streaked CM (Sorry for TMI). I have been having an on/off sharpish dull pain low down on the left. I thought maybe it is a cyst on the ovary? I have never had cysts before, so I may be well off. I am still scared that something can and might go horribly wrong. I will not be able to relax fully until this baby is in my arms. If I continue to have spotting tomorrow, I may risk A&E. Not that they could do anything to help and I have to accept that what will be, will be, it is down to my little bean to decide if this world is right for him/her.
Sorry to be on such a downer.
MJIM: I hope you have a wonderful holiday and that I have a fab scan photo to show you when you return (see, that's me being positive!)
HM2J - hugs to you. Brown is better (sorry but you know what I mean) as it not fresh blood. At least you have the doppler - have you got an EPU? They may be better for you, but prob not opened on a Sun? Thinking of you and hope you managed to get some rest last night.
just a quick one as at mums - but just wanted to say - am thinking of you HM2J - try and stay positive and get yourself checked out - best wishes for the scan!
waves to everyone else - am feeling ok here and looking forward to our holiday very much
have just found out that a good friend of mine is just over 4 weeks pregnant and am very happy for here
Thanks ladies, things today are back to normal, spotting has stopped, ovary pain practically gone and baby sounds good. I will still be calling the midwife tomorrow, maybe they will have a cancellation spot for a scan.
Just my luck though, the in-laws showed up unexpectedly. Dh congratulated me on making myself not look pregnant, lol! Thankfully I have a have a jumper on that zips up and has pockets, so I kept my hands in my pockets, which I was partly doing to keep my hands warm anyway as had been outside seeing to the washing. Thank goodness we can tell them next weekend!
HM2J - glad things have calmed down. Hope it goes well at the doc's tomorrow, just to put your mind at rest. You must have been terrified poor thing. Thinking of you xx
majormoo - glad you had fun at cinema with dd. Sounds good!
MJIM - have a fab holiday . We will miss you!
Angel - has AF arrived yet? you must be overdue by now?
Hi to everyone else!
Well, have had lovely weekend, went shopping and bought a new suit! Chocolate brown linen, very snazzy, as we have interviews for our new head this week! (you have to try to make a good impression don't you! especially seing as i might hopefully be on maternity leave in the not too distant future!)
Today is CD29, temp is still high, so no sign of AF yet. Refusing to get excited though (...honest!)
Hope everyone had nice weekends. AF still hasn't arrived but tests are still showing BFNs. I guess there is zero chance of this turning into a BFP since we last BD on 30 March?? Bellie I have had 2 cycles of 28 days and expected AF to show up last Thursday. So I thought I had a regular pattern but maybe not (although Ceebee am encouraged by what happened after your mammoth cycle)!! What is the opinion - is there no chance of a BFP?
Saint Willmouse - can we see photos of the kitten??
Juanitad - how did the kitchen-hunting go?
Soosy - good luck, I have a friend going through the same thing, I am thinking of you and sending you all my good vibes! Are you back from your scan yet?
Ceebee - next week fine for the sticks, thank you!!
HM2J - did you call the midwife - are you okay??
Carolyn - hope you are less achey today. Are you going to test soon??
Bellie - hope everything settles down for you soon - what a nightmare!
Majormoo - I have Sky Plus and can record programmes onto DVD - if you (or anyone else) ever needs me to help out with missed episodes of anything just let me know!
MJIM - sooo excited for you, wish I was going on holiday!!
My weekend was okay (apart from a massive row with DP!). Still not speaking so tonight should be a barrell of laughs!
Angel-stay away from those tests <stern look>. Me and DH fell out or should I say I fell out with him as apparently it is my fault we haven't any money. He just doesn't earn enough. He thought he was going to get his jollies last night-didn't get the message until I said no don't! Men <tut>
LOL about the kitten post! Sounds like my inquisitive little hamsters! And you thought the DC were a handful!
Angel - STEP AWAY FROM THE TESTS!!!! I agree, no good will come from endless testing! No idea what's going on with your cycle though. it could be another delayed ovulation then late implantation? Have you BD'd more recently than 30th march? Just wondering cos if you ov'd MUCH later than you thought it could be that? Does that make any sense? And is it a cheapie pg test you are doing or digital?
I am now on CD30 and guess what? Temp is still high...it's meant to drop just before AF. I am allowing myself just a teeny tiny bit of excitement! AF due wednesday so WILL NOT TEST until then!!!! Sorry to disappoint
Carolyn, good luck!! Exciting times are here again!
I am fine thanks ladies, midwife says I did the right things over the weekend and to let her know ASAP if it starts again. I am to keep my scan for Thursday. I definately have no plans to do more than the bare minimum around the house right now, with lots of breaks and resting in between. I am very excited to have made it is 12 weeks though! Woohoo!
No - we stopped after 30 March cos of Oz! FF did say it was a fertile day so either a) am pregnant but just not showing up on tests yet or b) not pregnant and AF just late! Aagghh!! Is confusing as only 3rd cycle off pill and my first 2 cycles were both dead on 28 days and I always used to be quite regular. Apparently it can take some women ages to get a HPK to show up +ve, but I will I will I will keep a steady head! Been using cheapo Boots ones but (ssshh, don't tell Willmouse) - got a digital one this morning as well. That little egg timer thing is so dramatic!
Oh oh Carolyn - am excited for you! Everyone here shows so much constraint (I know, I know ... for good reason). If you were a RL friend I would have dragged you off to the toilets by now! Good luck for Wednesday anyway - make sure you log on right afterwards.
Ooh, it's the exciting time of the month again.....keeping fingers crossed for both Angel and Carolyn.....baby dust coming your way ********************Soosy, some for you too, hope the FET is successful *****************
Is anybody else testing soon? Here's some for everyone!**********************************
We had a successful kitchen day on Saturday, we managed to pick one we both like, which is amazing as we have totally different tastes (DH's tastes are more expensive, and when he realised his choice was way over budget he came round to my way of thinking!!) We're having someone round next week to measure up, and show us one of those computer images so we can see what it looks like. We're not actually getting it done until I'm on summer hols, but we need to get planning now, otherwise we will never do anything about it!!
Hope everyone has had a good Monday! At last the weather seems to be on the turn!!
oh no Chocolate Eclair. How disappointing. Chocolate and wine are in order.
Angel you never know, there is still a chance of a BFP. Thanks for the offer of copies of missed tv shows. We managed to watch it in Iplayer last night so have caught up now!
HM2J glad all seems well. Not long til your scan how exciting.
Willmouse the kitten sounds challenging.
Hello everyone else.
I feel soooooooo tired it is awful. Had to tell my parents when we stayed for a few days. I had no choice really as we usually drink lots of wine there and my mum was giving us smoked salmon for a starter.They think we are mad to want a third. My mum said 'was it planned?' Despite thinking we are crazy they are really excited, which is exactly why I did not want to tell them when I am not feeling very confident myself.
thanks ladies. It's good to be able to let some steam off on here as noone in RL knows we are ttc. I'm going to start taking the Agnus Castus tomorrow.
Majormoo - are you a little excited yet? Your parents sound quite surprised but obviously chuffed to bits for you!
Bellie/Angel - my money is on at least one of you two! I have everything crossed for you both
Juanitad - kitchen sounds great! It will be lovely to have a spangly new kitchen and a spangly new baby too! What is it going to be like? (the kitchen not the baby!)
H2MJ - glad you are feeling better, and good luck for your scan. (very excited)
Carolyn, really sorry that AF arrived, but well done for not testing too early - now you just have to face this disappointment once, whereas if you had already tested by now you would have had the disappointment of a BFN and then the second disappointment of AF arriving. In the months before I got pg, when I got BFNs, I still held out hope that maybe AF wouldn't arrive and that the BFNs would turn to BFPs, so when that didn't happen I was mightily pissed off. I know it will be your turn soon, but I also know how frustrating it is waiting!! Really hope you are feeling ok. Babydust for you for next cycle.......*****************************************************************************************
Angel and Bellie, fingers crossed for both of you now!
By the way, for those asking, the kitchen is going to be fairly simple. Wooden doors, quite modern looking, but not like something you would see in a trendy loft conversion (I've never been anything close to trendy in my life!) The wood is a nice warm colour, with a pinky tinge to it.....that doesn't sound as nice as it looks. Anyway, it will be so nice to have nice new things, our current kitchen is falling apart at the seams, and is covered in cat hair! Yuk! Talking of cats, pictures of the kitten would be good as soon as you get the chance wilmouse!!
HM2J – glad everything seems to be ok now and I hope you are sat with your feet up – you did the right thing getting it checked out.
CE – so sorry that AF showed up . You need a lovely big glass of wine and some chocs and then get back on that TTC rollercoaster.
Bellie/Angel – keeping everything crossed for you – sending you lots of baby vibes!
Willmouse – lol at your kitten – we need a photo of the adorable bundle – I bet DS1 is over the moon. Does he have a name (the kitten – not your DS )
Majormoo – lol at your parents asking if it was planned – that was exactly what my boss said when I told her – like it is any of their business and why is that even important???
Yesterday was fab at the zoo – wandered round for over 6 hours so you can imagine how shattered I was by the end! Was pretty cold aswell but the animals made up for it – DS’s favourite part though was the monorail . Everytime it went overhead, he got very very excited so we had to go on it in the end.
Also, just to make you smile – funny story about today. Me, DH and DS went shopping to the local retail park this morning. After about an hour, DH noticed that DS’s pants were wet all the way down one leg – he had only been dressed for a couple of hours so it seemed strange that his nappy had leaked. Anyway, I said to DH his nappy must not be on properly to have leaked so much so DH had a look.................only to find that DS didn’t have a nappy on at all! DH had completely forgotten to put a nappy on when he had got him dressed – I thought it was hilarious but it could have been so much worse – it doesn’t bear thinking about what it would have been like if he had had a poo
Hello everyone, Congrats HM2j making it to 12 weeks, good luck on Thurs.
LOL about the kitten! I want to see too.
Bellie, keeping my fingers crossed for implantation bleed.
Sorry to hear about BFN CE.
Hello to everyone else including angel - thanks for the baby dust.
Had 2nd scan today, My uterine lining is a bit too thin, so if it doesn't fatten up significantly by wednesday we are going to call the whole thing off. Which is not what I want to do as I have got myself all - well you know! So I need some uterine lining fattening up dust please ladies! I have acupuncture tomorrow and I have been listening to my fertility hypnotherapy cd - which I hope helps. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Full fat mega calorie uterine lining dust for Soosy
Oh, {{hugs}} obviously required today especially for CE having AF visiting unexpectedly. {{hugs}} Also to soosy desperately in need of some uterine thickening. Hope results are better on Weds. {{hugs}}
willmouse-are kittens fun? Luckily I had no children when I got the boy as he took up all of my time and DH's who didn't even want him. Have fun!
Heartmum-12 weeks is such a milestone. Brill news and good luck with your scan.
ceebee-lol at DH forgetting to put a nappy on DS.
juanitad-how lovely having a new kitchen. Ours is only 8 years old but I still like dreaming when I walk round B&Q and Wickes.
Angel-hope you haven't got a test in your handbag. Having said that, if I ever get to the stage of testing I will be weeing on sticks a week before AF due as I am a terrible child that can't wait.
Don't know when we will actually get round to TTC as DH keeps saying he wants some practise in before we start and as I was cross with him then AF is due in a week so doesn't give many days left.
Lost another 1.5 lb at WW so now 5 lb under goal so if I lose any more I will have to pay again. I'm not even trying to lose weight. If I lose any more I will have to stuff my face before getting weighed next Monday to keep my leader friend happy. I even had some wine at the weekend, first time in over 2 weeks. Today I can feel my monthly migraine starting so no wine for me tonight.
Right, am waffling so will wave to everyone I have missed <yoohoo!>
LOL HC - I did have a spare test in my bag but went for brown shoes today ... hence swapped all my work stuff into brown bag (I know I'm anal) and left test at home in my other bag. Still no AF though.
I think you should tell DH he has had enough "practice" - honestly, men! I'm still not properly speaking to my P. I'm leaving off the D for the time being
I have missed a couple of days and amd getting really confused so you will all have to forgive me.
Is Carolyn and ChocolateEclair the same person (I am not great with names and faces so this is really confusing me!). What is Angus Cactus for????
H2mJ - glad you are better.
Soosy - hope the uterine lining shows up! Will you just wait again and see what happens next month?
Angel -resist the testing ('tis very expensive if nothing else!).
Hi to everyone else <waves scratched hand>
Kitten has been named George by Ds1 (lightening would have been more appropriate!). He is behaving himself so far but I can't help but think it is only a matter of time. I am off to get some spray to discourage him from scratching my sofa and some catnip to encourage him to scratch his post
Hi, I am going to come and join you guys, I got a BFP on Saturday followed by spotting and a massive bleed yesterday.I am now CD1 On third cycle of clomid, for me getting pregnant isn't the problem,now the clomid has got me ovulating again,it seems to be staying preganant,I have been preganat three times now since 2006 each ending in MC by 8 weeks, it was very early this time. I am now waiting for the fertility clinic to ring me to discuss what happens next.
Sorry to hear about AF turning up. I hope you get some positive news from the fertility clinic.
You are most welcome in our thread! You will get lots of support here, nothing is ever tmi and the conversation is not limited to ttc! We are all very friendly and as you have probably noticed if you do get a BFP you are not allowed to leave! (which makes us sound like a bunch of stalkers LOL!!).
Oh hi littlemissdaisy. That is sad news to get a BFP swiftly followed by AF. Have heard that there are a few things that the Fertility Clinics can do to help. As willmouse said, you can talk about anything on here and like the song Hotel California 'you can never leave'.
Littlemissdaisy - welcome to our thread. Sorry about your AF etc but I am sure you may get some answers at the clinic. Everyone is so friendly on here so I hope you stick around
HC - is the thought of forking out for WW again not enough to get you reaching for the chocolate?
Willmouse - George is a lovely name for the kitten - hope the spray/catnip works!
Angel - I too have to have matching handbags and shoes. I swop the contents round every night depending on what I am wearing the next day Stay away from the test aswell!
FGS, am sat at work next to a radiator that is switched on - have got the window open but I am so hot! Our heating is controlled centrally aswell and they are refusing to switch it off -
Had to pack a sobbing DS off to nursery today - when I was getting dressed, he was trying to give me my pyjamas instead and pulling my top saying 'off off'. He clearly didn't want to go to nursery and obviously associates mummy in her pj's as 'staying at home' days
Hi Littlemissdaisy -a similar thing happened to me a couple of months ago-BFP then a BFN/bleeding a week later. Very confusing when one minute you are pregnant and the next you are not. Welcome anyway and I hope you find us supportive on here.
Soosy really hope that lining is thickening.
Oh Angel fingers crossed. And for you too Bellie
CE hope you feel OK today.
Willmouse hope the kitten is behaving.
Hello everyone else
Lovely sunny day here today so met a friend in the park with DS. When it is dark/cold/raining etc I often think I would love to be back in the world of work reading my emails, drinking coffee, eating lunch, going to the toilet alone-oh the list goes on! However, today a bit of 'The Wright Stuff' and 'Phil and Fern' this morning, following by lovely sunny walk and park, reminds me I am lucky to be able to stay at home for a while!
Majormoo - lol! Am slightly of you going for walks in the park and watching daytime tv but if I stay at home, that is not an option anyway as DS demands all of my attention I actually come to work for a break!!
Littlemissdaisy - if you highlight and copy it from the last message it appears on and then paste it into the message box and add yourself (hope that makes sense).
Soosy - forgot to say, hope the uterine lining is thickening as we speak - will send you loads and loads of vibes.
******************************** here is some extra thick lining medicine for you soosy! xx
Littlemissdaisy - recognise you from another thread about the 2ww. very sorry to hear what has happened. You are in good company on here, and are most welcome.
Waves to everyone else
Well the strangest thing has happened! AF kind of started last night, 2 days early, then woke up this morning and it had stopped! I was fully expecting it to start up again today but NOTHING! I did a cheapie ebay pg test which was negative. What's going on?
Oh well, I'm guessing that AF will arrive tomorrow as expected, OR (Fingers crossed tightly) that last night was implantation??? Time will tell I guess
I am Carolyn and Choclate Eclair....I just fancied being a little more anoymous! Sorry for the confusion
And Agnus Castus is a herbal remedy that regulates female hormones. It can help your cycle more regular and get you ov'ing at the right time. I am going to take it to try to lengthen my luteal phase!
CE - as the others have said, that is exactly what happened to me. Small amount of blood which I assumed was start of AF and then nothing - it was about a week later that I got a BFP so I guess you will just have to be patient - will keep everything crossed for you that it was an implantation bleed
Hmmm Bellie could you and CE be in a similar position?
Hi Littlemissdaisy, Sorry to hear about what has happened. As you can see we are all ttc in different ways.
Thank you for all the endometrium dust, will no tomorrow if it has been successful.
Love the name George Willmouse (DS was going to be George but he wasn't a chubby baby so he wasn't!)
Congrats HC on the weight loss, Tell Dh that he can do his apprenticeship on the job iyswim!
Ceebee, ds didn't want to go to school either, he has a cold and his teacher told me he was v tearful. I came out of school saying I just wanted you Mummy, I nearly cried!
Angel good thing you had the other bag! The only time I had matching bag and shoes was my going away outfit on my wedding day and that was 10½ years ago! I mainly wear jeans and converse nowadays and when I put skirt on people ask where I am going!
Have a good evening I am off to watch Holby City, got this think about hospitals.....
ooo I'm all excited again now (but with suitable restraint type emotion!)
I'm trying to work out dates n stuff and failing miserably. ov sticks had me ovulating about 8-10 days ago so could be possible!
bellie - good luck and hope af doesn't show her ugly face!
HC - brilliant weight loss! OMG! You can legitimately eat rubbish and drink wine now! Now go get some practice in before you start ttc! LOL. Practice?!?!? How long have you been married! he he he
majormoo - i'm loving the idea of being a 'slummy mummy' as you put it! I will play with the children as well you understand but trashy daytime tv would be indeed preferable to work for a while!
ceebee - your ds sounds cool trying to get you in your pj's. awww!
Fingers crossed for Angel still (and keep away from the tests!)
Everything crossed for CE, Angel and Bellie!! Very exciting!!!
Soosy - hope all goes well for you tomorrow. {**************}
Hope all our success stories are continuing to do well. MJIM & HM2J are on their way to the 2nd trimester now - can't believe how quickly that has gone.
How are you feeling now ceebee? And Juanitad?
And you majormoo? Sounds like you are having a lovely time in the sunshine!
Willmouse - love the name George - very similar to dd and she fits the 'generally behaving himself but it is only a matter of time description'!! Very cuddly too!
Welcome littlemissdaisy - sorry about your recent disappointment. You will find lots of sympathy and entertaining company on this thread so hitch your wagon and join the ride.
How is luvingtinkerbell doing?
I picked dd up early from nursery today and we had a lovely hour in the park. I love this time of year - full of hope, light and the promise of summer! We did very well between cd 7 and 14 this month (5 times in 7 days). Am now on cd18 (I think) and I have lost the energy and enthusiasm (is that hormonal I wonder)!!! I hope I have covered the important time - may have another go tonight (TMI! ) just to be sure! SENDMESOMEDUSTGIRLSPLEEEEASE!
CE, really hope this is going to turn out like it did for ceebee, that would be so amazing!! Oh my god, would that mean you would have a Chrimbo baby? What a brill pressie!!! Anyway, will keep fingers crossed for you.
bb, here's some dust for you **************************
Littlemissdaisy, welcome to the thread, hope you enjoy it, it's s nice place to be!
I am feeling knackered today. I was on a course....which turned out to be even more tiring than a day in front of the kids!! However, it finished nice and early, at about 3, so I thought I would take advantage and go and buy some maternity clothes, as I'm getting to the stage where my trousers and feeling a bit uncomfortable. My skirts are fine, and I can still get away with most of my tops but I am in trouser crisis! I did not know that finding maternity stuff would be so hard! I went to a couple of out of town retail parks first, knowing there were Nexts there, but they didn't stock the maternity range, so then I had to head into Leeds, only to discover that hardly any shops there have anything either! Dorothy Perkins is currently closed as it is being renovated. I finally managed to find a pair of jeans in TopShop (haven't shopped there for years!) and a pair of work trousers in Gap (Gap have really nice maternity clothes by the way) By the time I got home, making my way through rush hour traffic to get there, I was worn out. I have been in bed since about 7........with MN and the telly for company of course!!
CE - soooo excited for you! Sorry I am the worst at trying to contain my emotions or be sensible (always testing and getting over-excited!)! So just ignore me - but definietly have my flippers crossed for you.
Soosy here's some more e-dust for you (as well as baby dust for BB and CE and Bellie!)***************************
BB I love this time of year aswell - although what is going on with the weather? We've had snow, rain, wind and a heatwave all in the space of a couple of weeks??
Juanitad - very exciting buying maternity clothes! Although I have to agree and say (although the concept is exciting), I find it difficult enough to find normal clothes that I like so I'm not sure how much fun maternity shopping will actually turn out to be! Have you tried shopping on-line as I think you can usually return/exchange stuff for free. Hope you got an early night anyway.
AF still hasn't arrived for me. I'm getting a bit worried now and thinking about starting a thread to solicit MN opinions on what is going on?! I've had quite a stressful month but now on day 34, isn't that about the longest cycle you can get? Could I miss a period completely and if so does that mean that there is no point to BD until after the next one arrives?
ChocolateEclair - could it be that you ovulated late in your cycle? Sorry, I can't remember.
Juanitad - I always found H&M good for maternity clothes. They are quite trendy and not too expensive.
Soosy - hope all goes well for you today.
Angel - hope AF turns up. You could try the angus cactus suggestion next month (I never knew about taking that before).
I'm off for a long walk. Desparately need to lose weight before the summer. We have pre-ordered Wii fit so it is coming on Friday. It works out your BMI and then charts your weight loss etc so whilst I am happy for the incentive I don't really want to put 11 stone as my opening weight <runs away to avoid lecure re crash dieting while ttc>
Hi everyone - this is just a quickie as I am at work - will catch up with everyone's news when I get a chance.
I just wanted to share my dream last night with HC (and any other Lost fans out there) - I think I can honestly say the weird erotic pg dreams have started. I dreamt last night that Sayid and Sawyer did a naked gay porn photo shoot - and I vividly remember looking at all the photos aswell!! I had forgotten just how vivid pg dreams were
<Angel - not wanting to get your hopes up but don't forget I didn't get a BFP until CD38 - plus on the negative side, Willmouse also had a mammoth 38 day cycle>
Angel - I ovulated on about CD22 - I had my implantation bleed on CD 32. A BFP my have shown earlier but I don't think I tested between about CD34 and CD38 - the BFP I got on CD38 was quite strong.
Ceebee74 - sorry to hijack, I'm a newbie on this thread.
Can I ask what your implantation bleed was like? The last couple of days I have had what I can only describe as 'brown gunk' on a tampon (sorry for gross details . I thought it was start of AF but it appears to have completely stopped?
I'm on CD31 - last few cycles have been 34/35/26 days.
However, have just done a pg test and it is defo negative
Hi guys thanks for all the Dust I am sending this to BB.

Had scan this am, lining still a bit thin so decided to abandon
. Has spurred us into action for getting our bathroom fixed though - some people coming round this week to measure/price etc. Have spent most of the morning mopping up and emptying the toilet so it doesn't back up any more 
of you going for walks in the park and watching daytime tv but if I stay at home, that is not an option anyway as DS demands all of my attention
