Just MC and ready to try again? Pack your cake wine and tightie whities and join us for more ranting weeping and most of all laughing! All welcome! (Part 8)

Morning, early one for me after DS woke at 5am

bee interesting theory about the irritation, we live in hope huh? Where did you find that? Get DS in a bed!! Mine slept so much better as soon as he went into a big boys bed, well. not immediately. had a few nights of him running up and down the landing at bedtime...great he could escape!! You can get in with them at bedtime for story etc and in the night if they wake! Much better

mummy you prob wont see this now, but all the best for your journey, thinkinbg of you on a flight for 16 hours.... hope DS is a good boy :)

AR i too confused the suzzies, thank god didnt need them last night... or the sparkly ones

babes anything more this morning?

CD19 Ewcm another pos opk temp still down! More action later methinks

orange where are you going? Were hoping to get to stowe in Feb ish pennies providing, although i am hoping i wont get to go as will be upduffed!

Have a good day everyon xx

wow I missed so much!

pink sorry about your BFN fx it was just too early and AF stays away to give you BFN later

big welcome to HKlady I am newbie too but everyone is lovely and made me feel welcome :)

dachs 9 eggs is great news! do you have to wait long for the transfer? sorry I don't know the process

ladybee interesting theory on irritation how long does it last? I'm slowly knitting a scarf

DH suggested we wait a month to start trying so we can go snowboarding, and to give me more chance to recover, but i suspect mainly about the snowboarding. Part of me thinks maybe first month i don't do all the OPK and temps and just 'have a go' then it might take the pressure off. I know he means well, but he thinks that because I got pg 1st time last time I will again - so no pressure then :( sorry to sound insensitive just feeling sorry for myself this morning

Good luck for the flight MA, I took DS to nz on my own but he was only 7 months, I think that was easier, even though on my own and 28hrs as not so much entertainment needed. But it was also fine when he was 1.5 - just remember, you'll never see any of the passengers again. Ever. It'll go quicker than you think.

If you need a good laugh and to waste an hour or two ... check out the POMBEAR thread ... it is in the classics area. Laughed so much it feels like I have had a workout!!!

8dpo and feeling strangely symptomless - booo.

MummyA I have done the flight to Oz and US numerous times with DDs - the long flights are somehow easier than short as you are more prepared. The seat buckle alone kept them amused for a good couple of hours and wiping other passengers shoes took up a fair proportion of DD2s time ... she had spilt her drink on the poor sod's shoes sitting next to us so I used a wipe to clean it up - next thing I knew she was working her way down the aisle giving a personal cleaning service to anyone fortunate enough to be aisle side

wiggle signs are looking good, fx for you!

mummya best of luck for a safe journey, lovely, I'm sure ds will be fine. I know you'll miss DH but just think for a few weeks of disruption it'll all be worth it in the long run x

Forgot to say hello to velvet and aandr

Evening chatterboxes! So much to catch up with tonight!
:) at pretty and izzy's mattress shenanigans!
inbetweener it took me over a week to get a docs appt last time and then there was the time it took for them to refer me to hospital for scan/ booking in appt etc.

Dachs 9 eggs!! Well done, fab news. let's hope there's plenty of lovely ones ready to hatch. I have five friends I met through nct group with dd who had ivf - 4 of them have twins!!

PFF Sorry about bfn and bad morning, hope your day got better. I think it was Just To Early. Maybe test next week with me and tunnocks??

Hmmm. YRMOTB I'm still not convinced she's with you, will wait and see what tomorrow brings...

Congrats Dachs on the 9 eggs :)

Sorry if she is on her way YRMOTB

Good luck to all SWIers and POASers!

I am sooooo tired I can't believe it! I went to bed at 8pm last night and I need to go to bed now but am loathed to waste a Friday night by going to bed early.

Hope you are all enjoying your evening

Ladybee if he chooses the bed I would highly recommend purchasing a rabbit clock, which tells them when they are allowed to leave their room. Absolutely brilliant!

Oh we are a crafty lot - I would love to make a quilt or a blanket - I only tackle small things at the mo, gloves and dresses for the DDs.

Interesting stuff re irritation LadyB I think I would be a bit worried about letting anyone irritate my lining - it be scary if it went wrong.

Izz broken bed ... rather impressive.

thanks pink. I was quite convinced myself too. It's not full on yet, just some(tmi) brown stuff and a single red wipe. Am slightly peturbed now, by my mid cycle bleed too..

ladybee am liking your crafty ways! I am making a quilt! Is much fun, but will also take a few years weeks to complete.

gonna watch a film now, will update you all tomorrow if it's any good!

ladybee I get where you are coming from, think it's quite normal! I was very when we packed away the cot for tHe last time. DD insisted on having a big girls' bed when she turned two (and was starting to climb out anyway at that point!). I was stood there trying not to cry, she was waving and saying quite cheerfully "bye bye tot" (couldn't say "c"s). It's lovely watching them grow but you can't help mourning slightly for the baby days that are gone...

Anyway I an sure your ds will love his new room, my ds has just been upgraded to a bigger room and is soooo pleased with it.

nicks would love to claim credit for breaking the mattress, but we bought it when we got married so in reality it's just old (11 years!). Maybe the last shagathon finished it off though...

oh, this by the by, but I read an explanation for why sometimes there can be increased fertility after procedures / miscarriage. Apparently, minor irration of the endometrium (i.e. wombular lining ), can cause some kind of response that makes it easier for embryos to implant.
They're studying it at the moment to see whether the effect could be copied in any safe way other than physically irritation.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting.

Should go an continue with knitting. Am doing a blanket. I was slightly over-ambitious and it's quite large. At this rate it's going to be Christmas next year before it's finished.

ooh yes tunnocks feeling AF is coming a week early is my no.1 sign. Assuming of course that AF doesn't actually turn up

Now I know why we don't have pets.
Although I would quite like a cat. If only to persuade the mice to go elsewhere.

We're moving DS into his big-boy room (i.e. out of the box room nursery and into the study spare bedroom) tomorrow. Then he'll have the choice of sleeping in his cot or moving to a bed. Is it very wrong of me to hope he sticks with the cot a while longer?

Pizza for tea - hoorah hooray. I can't get much more bloated so who cares about the wheat & cheese, it's yummy.

You can borrow my glittery, flashing (giggle,giggle behind the hand) suspenders Nix... do you know I only a couple of posts ago realised I have been mixing up suspenders and braces ... it is quite disconcerting to realise my flashing lights are in such close proximity to important parts!!

Izzy have you worn that mattress out already with all your shagathon action my lovely???

@ pooping mutts and peeing pussies! My furry babies were banned from sleeping on our bed in the night after they took up wrestling in the middle of the night, in the middle of the bed thus waking me from said slumber!

dachs i did post earlier about the 9 eggs but my phone seems tohave eaten it! 9 WHOOP!!! For all the nasty drugs, injections, undignified times with legs in stirrups it will all be worth it to see them fertilise and take shape :) Do you know how many you will want to transfer?, could you cope with twins? My friend had 2 transferred each time and ended up with a beautiful daughter..just one!

Has had a lovely afternoon with a bucket of wallpaper paste and a three-nager! (boy oh boy has he become a threenager overnight too!)

pretty good to see you back maluvvy! Noo job noo hoose..... comes in threes dontcha know....noo baybee next and if anyone deserves one, you do ;)

apples, good to see you are ok and inbetween, good to see you are sicky!
Fondant are your temps still high chicka?
bee i do think too much knowledge can be a pain, finding the balance is needed i think! sorry you feel bemused.... if the AF is coming roll on next one :(

Wish me luck with my seduction plan ladeees...

Or even nods sagely ...

Arghh I missed a whole page and what a page to miss ... Izzy PQ almost fell off my chair laughing at mattress antics!! Always reassuring it is not only our household where things like that happen!! Dh and I have a rule that whoever sees the cat puke first has to clean it up .... I am pretty sure the cat pikes under our bed but both of us are in a stand off over it ... I have hid his uggs under there in the hope he sees it whilst searching for them!

Dachs 9 eggs is brilliant - here's hoping they are happy healthy bfping ones!!! Twins, triplets maybe?!?

turnnock in my new self appointed role of chief dpo symptom spotting ... feeling like your af is on its way early is def a sign (nods safely)

Wow, 9 eggies dachs that sounds very good news! Fx for lots of dividing and multiplying and whatever else eggs are supposed to do!! Hope you get some rest.
Nice to see you back pretty, did you enjoy your break I know, I know, you missed us so much you couldn't keep away!
betweener I haven't been brave enough to join the grads thread yet...i reckon this stage is actually TTC part 2, not real pregnancy! And i'd second, or is it third by now, the advice to at least call the doctor soonish to get in the system. I had to fight a bit for my early scan, but my mw arranged it for me after I saw her at 8 weeks.
mamap have you poas? I'm in full on suspenders that you've brought back a sneaky something extra tucked inside! Have you got anything to declare?!
Sorry for the recent bfn's, but inbetweener's our very own proof it's not over till it's over!
I feel for you izzy, they wouldn't take our new kingsize mattress upstairs so poor DH had to do it on his own as I was 6 months preggo at the time!
Right bedtime for DS...is it too early for me to join him do you think?!
Friday evening waves to all. x

inbetweener I would second MummyA re heading to doctors or at least informing them on the phone - more to do with making sure you can get an early scan if you want one. It seems to take an age to get the doctors paperwork through to the hospital and they can't book the scan unless the paperwork is there ... very grrr.

Hi HK welcome. Sorry you are here but make yourself at home - Nix has outdone herself with decorating the thread

pretty re the cat. That is not good. Mind you the first time our dog got into our bedroom he squeezed himself under the bed and poo'd under the bed on our new carpet . He was not welcome in the bedroom for a looong time after that.

The really annoying thing was he looked so bloody pleased with himself afterwards...

Izzy
That. is. frikkin' he-lari-arse!!!!
Me, of course would never do such a thing.
When we did our bedroom and got noo things, I came home from the shops all excited and dismantled our bed and took it to the tip.
MrG. came home and pointed out that it would take a while for the new bed to arrive
We slept on the floor on the old mattress for nearly 2 months as when we did get stuff delivered I decided I wanted a new carpet too and then we may as well redecorate.

The few times (and then last!! ) my cat was allowed in our room he must have got so excited by all our scents he decided to add to it and peed on the mattress.
By my head
Whilst I was asleep.
Needless to say I managed to shift the old mattress pretty quickly and threw it down the stairs with the cat very nearly going the same way!
Kinda spurred us on to decorate.

Aaagh! I am such a numpty!!

Had a new mattress delivered today but when the delivery guys said "shall we take it upstairs?", instead of saying like any normal person "yes please and could you take away the old one while you're at it", all I could think was "arsecrackers, I haven't tidied up our bedroom". Ended up insisting they left it downstairs while they looked at me as if I was mental, then instantly regretted it but was too late to change my mind as they scarpered pretty sharpish. Now I have a huuuge king size mattress still in wrapping propped up in the hallway and blocking the downstairs toilet, and the old double mattress propped up on one side of the landing, blocking the airing cupboard, our bedroom door, and half of DS's. I can't move either, they are way too heavy. There is no mattress on our bed

On the upside, new mattress is very big and looks very comfy so if me and DH together can't sort it I'm just going to put it on the floor and sleep in the lounge
