yippee another person. hello jiggle my ds is watching film and playing with various vehicles. I can't get on the floor with the poor thing cause i wouldn't be able to get back up again. feel so guilty as haven't been able to play with him properly over last couple of days. and i've just been getting so frustrated with him. When was your mc? how many weeks/days has it been since you stopped bleeding? With you there would love to be able to go away somewhere a spa or Thailand sound ldeal for me. even better a spa in Thailand. Grin

HeHe He

jigglebum · 28/01/2011 16:40

Oh killed the thread!! didn't think that was possible with the speed this normally goes at!

jigglebum · 28/01/2011 16:22

Im here too - sat on the floor pretending to play cars with DS. Only seems to be important to sit on the floor rather than really playing so using the chance to catch up on MN( and make car parks occasionally with the other hand!)

Not much to report here though. Still not had first Af since mc so not sure what is happening here. After a very hormonal week I am feeling more positive today and managed not to shout at DS at all so far today! He has borne the brunt of it all as I am with him so much.

Feeling rather jealous of nice holiday plans (Thailand sounds lovely - some sun would be fab) and a spa sounds great too. We vaguely thought of going skiing now I am not pregnant but with all the DIY on the house we can't really afford it.

Anyone got any nice weekend plans?

cep · 28/01/2011 16:15

chloe i know, am starting to wonder where everyone is, i've never known it this quiet. Feel like i'm stood at a tunnel saying "hellloooo" and getting "hellloooo" "hellloooo" back. (ok so i can't do echoes very well. Grin

Chloe55 · 28/01/2011 15:33

Ha ha, it appears most people other than you and me have a life away from MN Cep! Grin Thank you for your compliments, I have met one or two stick insects who have amazing artistic qualities in my time Wink

cep · 28/01/2011 14:55

Wow chloe you did those????? they are fantastic well done you. i have the artistic talent of a stick insect. (i'm assuming which is none.)

cep · 28/01/2011 14:50

I swear i am going insane. i am forgetting everything that happened on all my other periods, seriously. i currently seem to be having brown sludge (sorry tmi), and i keep thinking ooh it's not normally like this and then i think or is it???? i'm sure last af was 2 -3 days spotting then fresh red blood.

the amount of times i've been on here today i could keep it going by myself. [bgrin]

cep · 28/01/2011 13:43

chloe and emoo thanks for the ideas. That's wha i was thinking chloe would be nice for her to have something rather than just the baby.

Chloe55 · 28/01/2011 13:41

Have uploaded some photos if you click on my name - realised I hadn't updated it for 4 years Shock

Emoo - is it worth seeing if you can get a blood test done, if this is a very unusual cycle for you?

Chloe55 · 28/01/2011 13:00

Emoo - I am painting and open shuttered window with a beach and ocean scene in the background to try and open up the room a bit. I have really gotten into painting murals since I did an under the sea full bedroom mural for ds a couple of years ago - I will be painting over this to do Spongebob next week which I am actually a bit Sad about Grin I can post some pics on here of some stuff I have done if anyone is interested in having a nosey? Nobody gets to see it coz other than a few bits and pieces I have done for friends and family it is hidden in bedrooms!

Chloe55 · 28/01/2011 12:54

Cep - when I had ds a friend bought me some lavender things, essential oil, pillow spray and candles - was my best present I received after giving birth and she was the only one who actually bought me something which I thought was lovely.

Emoo · 28/01/2011 12:52

Happy Friday everyone!

I'm doing my nut today!! Confused Got a proper high temp today (14 dpo) at the normal waking time. AF not turned up yet after 3 days of cramping, very unusual for me, normally comes the day after cramping starts. Still had a BFN this morning... starting to wonder if I'm feeling nauseous or whether it's just nerves/excitement. Don't understand my body. We've had a few over-long LPs recently with negative tests (thinking of velvet and yrmotb ) and I don't know whether to get my hopes up or not.

collie - glad DH is on the way back, and I hope he gets to you safely and in time to ttc Grin

choccy - sorry about AF, but well done with the TTLW. I have no idea what zumba is!

orange - ooooh Envy - enjoy your spa, and I hope it cheers you up and starts you feeling more positive again.

cep - Sad poor you with AF and your sore back. Glad you got home from work. Now put your feet up and have a cuppa . Not sure about your friend - chocolates? photo frame? home delivery of nice unpasteurised cheese selection (that's what I'd want)?

chloe - I wouldn't worry about the booze - I don't think any can get through to any embie until it's well implanted. Kitchen mural sounds very intriguing - what are you painting?

Owl - like the pie chart idea. But I'd probably eat them. Grin

BrownB - looking at your chart, I'd say you're about to ov. Looks like it took a long time to get the pg hormones out of your system, what with the ongoing bleeding and the slowly falling temps. (You have had a negative pregnancy test after MC, haven't you?) Fingers crossed for a temp rise in the next few days.

YRMOTB - hoorahhh for being able to get sloshed. I have a nice bottle of red waiting for me for if/when AF turns up.

Hello to everyone else!

cep · 28/01/2011 12:43

have i killed the thread??? Confused [bgrin]

cep · 28/01/2011 11:16

Hi all, well didn't last at work long.

i need some help with a decision, i want to get something for my friend who had the baby. i got something for the bub and her dd. but want to get something for my friend. As i'm posting it, it can't be too heavy.
sorry if this is in bad taste, but dh wouldn't have a clue and as i'm at home i didn't know who else to ask.

youremindmeofthebabe · 28/01/2011 11:01

brownb have you had a negative HPT? Pregnancy hormone can cause a positive Ov test, but not the other way round. If that makes sense. Just an idea. If that's negative, then I guess you can go for it?

chloe sounds ok for Folic acid to me, I guess you just have to make sure that the other meal has a lot of colour and variation for all your other vits!

owl am liking the pie-chart idea!

Welcome pooch and LILI

bee I can understand that feeling. See you soon?

orange that sounds just lovely. I am off to London next weekend to visit friends, and it won't even be in my 2ww, so I can get sloshed! Yey!

Chloe55 · 28/01/2011 10:51

I am afraid I am useless when it comes to charts and ff Confused

Forgot to add - have decided to do the Special K diet for a couple fo weeks (only I am using fruit and fibre as it fills me longer) - 2 reasons for this, firstly to try and shed some weight before my birthday in a few weeks and secondly for the folic acid that is in cereal. I am absolutely crap at remembering to take vitamins so if I eat 2 bowls a day will this be enough folic acid intake do you know?

BrownB · 28/01/2011 10:40

I don't know what the hell happened there! FF has posted about a million charts. The one I wanted to post is the second one. Oh dear. I always embarrass myself with technology fails on this thread! x
