Feisty Fabulous Forty somethings - part 2

morning ladies, hippy what on awful experience! What horrid people, hope you are recovered now!

Sorry about all the BFN's - I am on day 22 and still on highs getting very bored by them but af is due in a couple of days so at least I'll start with some lows after (I think!)

had a heavy weekend on the vino and beers so have decided to completely give up alcohol starting today, it's going to be hard but worth it as I don't want to think that drinking is affecting my fertility

DH is due to do his test on thursday so one more night tonight of SWOI then abstinence for a few nights

hope everyone else is ok?

Hi all
No news from Lia on FB, but no posts since Sat so guess something could be occurrin'.

Sorry about the BFNs :(

CD9 here, so started SWI last night. Have had a shitty week with loads of big and little things going wrong, and DP being grumpy and irritating and breaking my phone when trying to replace the glass "because he was tired and in a rush"... thanks for that. So it took a bit of positive visualization and "eyes on the bigger prize" to get down to it, plus he'd just "caught" a drunk driver who'd crashed into scaffolding and was slumped at the wheel, so had his mobile on to be ready to give statement to the police when they phoned. Ooo the romance . Fortunately PC rang post-coitally as it were...

Hope this week is better :)

Love to all. How are those bumped birds getting on?

Sorry Curly and Lol about the bfn's. I got one too.
Only 9dpo and not many symptoms, but had the most amazing dream this a.m, I gave birth in the bath to a beautiful little boy.So I figured it was a sure sign and I should test! There's definately no second line, but although I got bfp with Charlie at 9 dpo, it was 10dpo with the mc.

The dream was so vivid, and even if I'm not pregnant his month, I still want to keep trying.

Deige - did you manage a movie? I'm guessing it must be pretty difficult to do anything much when you are vomiting all the time? I remember a friend had bad morning sickness, and she had to have a bucket between her knees as she drove to work!She couldn't stop on the freeway, and her body wasn't going to wait!

I wonder if Lia has had her babe?

So sorry Curly. The kids nicked the laptop and I've only just read. Bloody BFNs. And I feel so pregnant today. Due on Tuesday. I actually think I want this so much I'm having a phantom pregnancy. Next I'll be buying babygrows in John Lewis with a cushion stuffed down my knickers :-( Let's get hopeful for next month and try not to go insane.

That follicle thing that you had BB might explain my double high this month. I wonder. Hope one of those eggs is the chosen one for you.

Why hasn't Lia posted from the delivery ward? How inconsiderate of her (;-)

Hey Curly that sounds good, as does your double-egg scenario BB (though would that place you back into odd numbers? )
Thanks for sympathies all - feeling a bit brighter today after a lie-in, plus I am ^hoping* that the vit B6 combi may be taking the edge off (only sick once today so far and have kept some melon down) - onwards and upwards!
Lol sorry about the bfn ( I understand the word thing) Your bulbs sound beautiful - I especially love crocuses (croci?)
Love to all - planning a cinema trip this afternoon!

posted a massive post and then it all disappeared gah!

Anyway, a quick precis - hello Mitzi and sorry that you're here under such circumstances. it's grim I know. I hope your stay here is short.

lol sorry about your bfn. What is the name of those cyst things? i ask because when I had the scan a couple of days ago, my promising follicle had grown too big and they thought it may become one of those cysts.

I did have another follicle developing luckily. They didn't know whether I would ovulate, but said that if I did, there was a chance that the ovulation on the new follicle would trigger an ovulation on the first one. Anyway, this scared me slightly as I don't really want twins but in the end I dtd anyway!!! (didn't tell dh though). so who knows nos 6 and 7 may be the result

hippy sounds scary - better get moving asap. i was in a shop in Clapham years ago when it was robbed.

diege sorry you're feeling so awful.

curly any news?

jolls any signs? A woman kept smiling at me in the clinic the other day and I wondered if you were there.... (or is it a lurker?)

Italian i couldn't watch comic relief in the end. Just too sad. Me and dh had tears streaming down our faces.

Lou hope everything is ok for you today. Glad you had a good scan.

Hello to everyone else. And lia hope you aren't pregnant anymore!

Diege that sounds completely awful. 20 minutes before you return a mug of tea? You'll be a shadow. Really feel for you. Let's hope your GP searches the back of her bathroom cabinet and comes up with something more powerful.

Hippy you've got a wannabe policeman on your hands. Your ds will date his decision to become a detective from the moment he stepped into the local co-op. How long till the IoW? Can't come soon enough by the sound of it. Scary.

Big BFN for me today. Don't know why I bothered - just got a cheapy cb digital pack from Amazon (probably second-hand. euchhh) I'm due on Tuesday and I just wanted to see the 'not pregnant' so I could stop daydreaming and symptom spotting and actually get on with something this weekend. And it actually worked. I sulked, then mowed the lawn. Result! Looks really pretty. I planted 100 bulbs in October. The cat dug most of them up, but I sat there today surrounded by snowdrops and crocuses. Lovely.

OMG HIppy what a scary situation I agree, IOW here you come!
Sorry about the bistro last night . All I could offer up was diluted cream of chicken soup, and didn't think that would pass muster. My cyclizine is mocking me, so will have to revisit gp I think (can only keep liquids done for 20 mins). Sickness lasts in previous pregnancies up to week 14-20, so not as bad as some, but difficult to think about it going on even that long. SOrry for the me post and for moaning when I know so many would give their right arm to be in my situation, but my god I feel rough!

hippy I hear the IOW's nice, might you consider it...?

back later x

Oh blimey, nearly forgot to tell you. Me and the boys were in the Co-op last night at about 7.30 and two blokes came in with their faces covered by scarves and nicked some alcohol and just walked out with it. They left the shop at the same time as us and were calling out to people, What are you looking at you cu..... I turned away from them and said to the boys, stay near me and don't look at them. Flippin' numpty DS2 only started pointing at them!!!!!

I was very mad at him and made him stand in the naughty spot (by the front door) when we got home. How many times do we tell them that if we get into a dangerous situation you must do what I say immediately. Arrghh he said he might not have heard me but I take that to mean that he did and DS1 said he heard me. Fortunately, they just carried on accross the car park and didn't look back at us but it was all a bit scary. DS2 must be on the CCTV looking at them cos he was facinated by them.

Note to self:- MOVE to a nicer area!!!

jolls I find that when DH has one of his rare nights out the whole house goes into chaoes just before he leaves and yet when I go out I just do all the necessary and slip out the door with a bit of last minute slap on my face

Didn't bother with the Bistro last night. To be honest I was well put off by the chef vomitting all night - sorry diege I know it's crap but it is a good sign for you, so I am allowing myself to make jokes still (tell me if that's wrong!)

I had a big worry this morning. DS1 had what looked like a weird rash on his face (like little red grazes). I tried the lick your finger method ("get off mum") and it was still there. Called DH and said I think he has a rash, DH pointed out that he still had red spray in his hair from yesterday (crap mum sent them to bed with it still in). So we got the flannel out and YES it was just red dye. See jolls I can be a hypocondriach by proxy too

lou thinking of you today. I do think it's a good idea to make the paper-weight as it will be a reminder of your darling girl but I agree that she will never be far from your thoughts anyway.

italian You made it to the FRIDAY night bistro - but only just - you little minx

I had my friend over yesterdy with her 6 month old. He was born a few days after the due date of our MMC. It was weird holding him and thinking that if that foetus hadn't stopped at 8 weeks this is what we would have had by now. But to be honest, that all seems like a long time ago and I wasn't upset at all. I did enjoy holding him though - he is a great big chunk of a boy just like our boys were/are .

Sun is shining here - hope you all have a good day. I am planning to emulsion the downstairs loo later - who is of that????

Can I have what jolls is having, please. Not to late am I?

Mitzimaybe welcome, so sorry you had this sad experience but so happy you are now with someone who cares for you and is not the wrong person like the one you were with for ages.

Louise Big hugs.

Love to all.

Enjoying/sadly watching Comic relief red nose day. Tragic, just so tragic, what a weird combination, comedy and tragedy.

I'm not an Eastenders fan but the Witney storyline was really tragic.

Right, that's a large glass of red while I check the menu. I'm thinking it's late, but I can still manage a broad bean and asparagus risotto.

Right, af due on Tue, Curly so I'm going to take this seriously and chart from CD1. And pray that this is academic because af decides not to visit. Tina's version sounds better than a ovarian cysts. Hoping it's not just gripey af pains that last days before the real thing. I'll be pretty cheesed orrff. Just watched The Fight at the local cinema - great film but had to bury my head in dps armpit every time someone was hit. I'm getting too soft in my old age.

right
I fancy thai... can I have some red prawn curry pls. And then some mango and coconut ice cream exactly like wot they serve in Wagamamas.

What I need to know tonight is... whilst I have had 2 consecutive nights out this week (unheard of!) I still did dinner, bath, bedtime, running out late both nights at about 7.40, and came home both nights to an untouched departure scene (not all washing up done/tidying etc etc). DP has a night out tonight (well deserved to be fair)and he slopes off at 6.30 having done sweet FA. ...

Anyway better crack on with my chores whilst Diege chops the lemongrass and deseeds the chillis...

Wave to all. xx

Oh buggery I managed to miss an entire page before my last posting useless Lou I am still happy...selfishly about the scan but can't imagine the emotional roller coaster you are both on at the moment it can never be a good day to bring your child's ashes home sorry

also Deige posted thinking drugs working ...sorry sorry no more vomit jokes I promise for the next 35 some weeks .....will order some good morning sickness food in sympathy when the Bistro opens

Lol please don t worry its fine. No photos this time she also said she couldn t date me yet as if i m bothered about dates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isaboo thanks X
Hippy know where you re coming from as i say theses ashes aren t my Georgie X

Lou fantastic news have everything crossed for you over here ...

Diege hoping the chunderbus is going well in the best possible way

Hello Mitzimaybe poor you the fall out from a miscarriage is awful I think other people who have been through the same thing really help but its very very personal hope you will stay.

can't stop have a list of friday jobs a mile long and have wasted half the day on Ihavenoideawhat so must try and cover this up quickly before they all get home

oh and Curly maybe the camera had run out of film or bytes or whatever "ever the optimist!"

oooooohh Curly please be my ov buddy! I'm due on Tuesday - can never count the days properly - is that 4? - but will keep fx for you. Let me know how you get on. Desperate to find out. oooooooh

lol are you sure the symptoms you have aren't implantation??

I like the sound of virtual food at the friday night bistro - calorie free and having just purchased some rather 'snug' size 12 skinny jeans virtual food is just about all I should be eating at the moment!!

hope everyone have a great weekend - I have an ice hockey fest this weekend, watching nottingham panthers tomorrow and my hubby falling over on the ice sunday playing hockey himself 9not that i go there to laugh at his misfortunes you understand)

Lou read your message about Georgie AFTER posting my last. So sorry to be crass. Your little bean was uppermost in my thoughts, but Georgie is uppermost in yours at the moment - as she should be. Much love ((()))
