Good things come to those who wait...and wait...and wait!!! All aboard, we're IIT!

oh bebe, poor you!! That's just rude (unless they had some kind of emergency.. just made me wonder, if they've been hassling her all week about it). Would it be unethical to ring with a witheld number just to find out what's going on?!

On the plus side, it's Friday, so maybe a large bar of chocolate and a relaxing bath would help? (I tried this last night but our hot water keeps cutting out, and filling up buckets to empty into the bath took too long and resulted in tepid water... eurgh...) I'm sure you'll get someone soon - lots of people aren't rude, inconsiderate pigs :)

we have just had some snow, not heavy and didnt stick thankfully

Good luck 100 [crosses fingers for you] Hope you feel better either way

At the walk in centre after nearly passing out at work. :( good thing I work with paramedics. Doc said prob viral, paracetamol, rest and a recommended a pg test! Thing is now I feel like I'm imagining everything and it'll be negative. I will keep u posted. Just waitin on a lift back to work.

good morning all, no snow up here thankfully i hate snow,but very very icy and cold, looking forward to eating the curry i made tonite, have no idea wot to do today tho#

well there is a lot to catch up on i have read it all but not going to attempt to answer it all, that will be my day taken up lol

100years- hope u feel better soon and that the sickness passes, hope u manage to hold off testing till monday, i am rubbish at waiting think i just like peeing on a stick lol

bebe- i had nitemares last nite too, i was dreaming i was running away from sumthing and i was breaking windows, jumping off building, swimming thru swampy things all to escape something but im not sure wot. and half a banana, your virtual breakfast sounds much more appealing, ill add some american pancakes wish lashings of syrup

nannyl- book looks lovely i always say im going to write in one and never do

waves to everyone else :)

Good morning all.

Rough as F* this morning. Headache still there, still icky sicky and got to go to work. :( Boo hiss.

I think I said welcome to Astro, but not to MrsSatsuma, very sorry, if I missed you, welcome. :)

Have a good day folks.

Yep Bebe, kind of have monday in my head for testing! Even though it's only about the time I am due on. I am resisting until then

nannyl I would really like that book too, it looks lovely, I reckon that will be an immediate purchase when (positive thinking) I get a BFP.

Hey everyone else, been busy busy in here.

Not really caught up, OH is listening to something and it's causing a lack of concentration in me.

Hope you are all OK.

I'm still feeling a bit off, infact I felt very off today, bad head before I went to sleep last night which I woke with this morning, terrible feeling sick so took an anti nausea tablet. Feeling bloated and horrible now and was ravenous when I got home. It's all just symptoms I've probably had before at various times, but because of where I am in my cycle I'm obviously counting them!!! I must stop this!!!

Bebe- How about a family trip to watch a rugby match over xmas? I find car journeys are a good time for conversations...non-confrontational but you are both trapped there with nothing to do apart from talk (although this plan involves you and DD having to sit through a match hmmm, sorry if you are a fan!)

here's hoping...thanks x

Hi Astro! I think bebe is right- sometimes things need to be spelled out for the OHs and a proper discussion is a good idea so he knows how you feel. Also I can get frustrated when my OH does not respond immediately but he sometimes just needs to have a think and will come back with some real insights at a later time. So maybe a chat after xmas will give him some time to get his thoughts organised :)

Really good idea about talking to his dad friend too, he seems to be taking everything seriously!

that was supposed to be a sad face!

oh MrsSatsuma - i read your thread too...so sorry to hear you're having such a hard time...i do hope you feel better soon...i know it can be difficult to cope with...not that i've suffered with it...but my Mum has...i remember seeing her suffer a panic attack in the bedroom when i was younger...it looked very frightening...i had to get her a paper bag to breath into...have you tried this technique by the way? (i'm sure you have)...glad you got some air today....

on that note...i hate the snow...i really don't want it to come to Wales...it's so horrible, dangerous, awkward and very cold :o(

That book looks lovely Nannyl!

Will your OH get any time off over xmas bebe? Does he do anything that helps him relax? Squash or going for a walk or watching films?

Hope you feel better soon satsuma, my OH has just done his PGCE and is doing supply work at the moment- he is finding it really stressful. I can't think of another job where you get constant abuse and you just have to put up with it!

strawberrypie - hi - nice to have a vet on...i agree...it's nice to have somebody in our line of work to talk to also...we've been together over 6 years, we flippantly mentioned kids in the past but i never wanted them so it is a shock for him to now consider having one...i only mentioned it to him at the end of October...when i first mentioned it he said 'oh god'...but listened well to what i had to say and agreed to think about it...

squirrel007 & WhyWait- i have spoken briefly to him and said we'll have another chat about it after xmas...he's fine with chatting again then...i've also convinced him to talk to our friend Mike...he's my best friends husband and she mentioned it might be good for DP to chat to someone about being a dad too...so thanks for all the advice so far...this is a lovely forum!

bebe - i never thought of that...thank you and your most recent post made me laugh - the one about SWI!! ha ha x

nannyl - that's sounds amazing...i want one now...

oooh im even more excited now

when doing my amazon Xmas shopping i decided to by myself a present and added my pregnancy journal to my list

OH gave me the post just now and it has arrived and is just gorgous

But i dont want to tempt fate so wont be writing anything in it until im lucky enough to be pregnant!!!!

Oh my life HOW much catching up I have to do!

Back later. Welcome Astro and MrsSatsuma!

Have changed my name as it's easier to type! nannyl I'm jealous - I spend most of my time trying to kick the kids out of our school buildings! Teenagers must be related to vampires - they seem to have an aversion to light... and coats... yep, even in this weather...

Am feeling better as have been out of the house (only to corner shop but still better than nothing!) and made muffins for DH to say thank you for putting up with me (I won't bore you with details but see thread in mental health section... mm I wish they'd changed the name of that to something with a bit less of a stigma!!)

squirrel Hope the sickness gets better soon and that you enjoy being spoiled!

Can someone send the snow down here please? That way wyorks and nannyl will warm up and DH will get time off work when schools close! See, everyone's happy! :o

evening all
wyorks i really hope everyone and everything can make it safely to your wedding

Im currently on day -9! (ie 9 infertile days left this cycle and starting to TTC in next cycle)

Ooh its been cold in Yorkshire today... not sure if it ever made it above freezing (i doubt it did TBH) and we did have snow mid morning, so the children were very excited.

I drew the short straw and was the teacher supervising outdoor play today (we HAVE to offer it in all weathers except for very strong winds!) so i froze, even with ski jacket, hat scarf and gloves. It amazes me how the children just dont care though, and happily play regardless!

I have come home to what smells like a really delicous pork and apple casserole cooking in my oven (hooray now i have an oven WITH a timer) and am waiting for OH to get in from his driving lesson so we can eat it.

Back later!
