Brooking No Argument for Positive Pee Sticks, Healthy Pregnancies and Home-made Cakes!!!

Popcorn my mum only knows because she knows about the mc and my subsequent problems/investigations. I would much rather nobody knew about our TTC as I feel pressure to announce some Good News soon and that really doesn't help.

Solars yay! How many dpo? Last month I ov'd on day 12, which I think is about normal. I'm day 8 now, so I suppose if we do it tonight, Friday and Saturday if possible (but it will have to be during DD's nap time - no chance of early morning shagging in the Generic house!)

Bean you talk sense! How long did it take to TTC your 1st and how long so far? Glad you had a lovely birthday!

I fear she has gotten me rat-smackers. But, I have just tried a new Milka biscuit, and I can confirm they are indeed tasty.

As you were.

Hi Far - just interested to know what your mum says that helps? x

Hi Beedle - know exactly what you mean about nagging but gave up long ago since the old duffer is a perfect gent in pretty much every aspect of life/relationships. And v kind to me and trying to be sympathetic about this baby-biz (though he does marvel at my impatience). But sympathy stops short of consuming close to half a bottle every night. That's right Popcorn not so much one glass as a couple of schooners or two cans of delightful beer. Having been rather an enthusiastic drinker until my mid 30s I'm not really in a position to criticise but as a one GnT a week woman I wanna chuck the lot down the sink as I'm sure he'd actually feel better without quite so much. But nagging is deffo the daftest way to go on this one - he will just feel defensive. Like Beedle says hopefully the herbs/vits will go to work soon.

We're all waiting for a Stasi update I gather?

Yes Generic I am post-ov

When do you think you may ovulate, or does it vary each month for you? I too used to hope for an immaculate conception when DH & I missed a month, sigh...definitely try and SWI tonight & tomorrow! Good luck x

Generic if you dtd Friday (or better yet, Saturday morning) that will cover you for most of your time away?

I have not told my mum we're ttc. She keeps fishing but I'm schtum, because she will worry how we'll manage, as she lives abroad and MIL is next to useless.

Ooh Munkii I am still brooking for you too - hope you are wrong about AF. Ask Imps to have a word.

Popcorn that is terrible re the pay fiasco! I hope he will be able to get it sorted soon and cheer up enough to do what needs to be done to make you pregnant this month

Ooh Farfalla it's results day! I hope there is a good plan of action. Yay to your meal with your mum - she talks sense, I've always liked her. I cannot talk to my mum about such things - she worries about me too much and I get all defensive and don't tell her how I really feel.

Maybe you are definitely upduffed what with the crying and all.

Solars are you post-ov now?

No signs of ov for me yet, so I have resigned myself that I may well miss the window this month because I'm away with work from Sat to Wed. Will try tonight/tomorrow just in case. It's quite nice not to think about it as much this month and of course I am still hoping for an immaculate conception.

maybe you are soooo pg! POAS already! :o

far, it's results day, is it not? :)

Sorry Popcorn I was meant to say towards your DH's employers

I thought a nice quiet five mins to catch up with you all and I've noticed you've all filled in 7 pages since I was last on!

Really sorry to hear about AF Little but it does sound like your LP is increasing which is really good news!

Stasi hope you had a great hen night, only 2 more sleeps until wedding day (is that right?) so very excited for you!

Glad you had a lovely birthday Bean

Popcorn

Scrambled hope you are feeling better and anyone else who is under the weather.

Farfalla hope you are ok, I can so totally understand what you are going through Good luck with your appointment! Your mum sounds lovely.

I've probably missed loads of you out so a big fat wave to the rest of you preggos :)

Now to business, when & who is testing soon? Maybe are you still dodging those ramekins? Imps you are so preggo with those symptoms surely you must be testing soon and there is Beedle & Munkii too right?

possible you are so updiffed, when are the rest of you lot testing?

imps have a cartwheel for your imminent updiffedness as well.

We are TAKING NO PRISONERS understood?

Far hope it goes brilliantly tonight, good on your mum

Popcorn that's ridiculous, I too am for you

Thanks for the brooking everyone, still no sign of her though. Am brooking hard for Munk and Beedle too. Maybe if you two pin her down, I'll truss her up with my ball of yarn, then we can set the pup on her

Generic how are you?

I can't seem to stop crying today [scary emotional wreck emoticon]

popcorn I can;t believe they have done that, that is so worrying, I am really sorry and hope it gets resolved and that your DH cheers up a bit!

muunki its not over just yet, ok??

biscuits hope you get to feel some movement soon!

Had a lovely dinner with my mother last night, she is very no nonsense and gave me a stern talking to and calmed me down about this TTC malarkey.

Looking forward to the appointment this evening, sort of, and need to think of a list of questions before I go in so I don't get too confused. Eeek.

That is crap popcorn, very for you.

(they didn't overpay him, by our reckoning, but it'll be a battle to get the money back...)

smegs unlikely - on the one hand they've underpaid him by £500 this month because by their records he's been off sick for a month (wtf?!), but on the other hand they're saying "it all works out" because they accidentally overpaid him the month before. Fecking NHS.

Oh and hope stasi had fun!

So excited for you!

Boo to AF, so sorry she got you little'

Brooking hard for maybe and beedle

Hope poorly brookers feel better soon.

I feel all cross and achy today, so am guessing it is all ove in the Munkiii House too.

Bugger.

Morning! Beedle and maybe am brooking no argument that AF is staying away! Imps is sure to have scared her away with her little chat...

Popcorn no wonder your DH is grumpy! That's awful, are they going to sort it our soon?

Little sorry to hear she got you. Damn that uninvited guest.

Stasi how are you feeling? Should we all whisper?

Feeling better now thanks. Am most put out that I'm catching every bug going at the moment. Although can't help feeling slightly pleased that I've lost a bit of weight .

In his defense, work has c*cked up his pay by £500 so we are skint.

jazzy CD1 is the first day of proper flow, not spotting - hth :)

little sorry bout Af the witch got me again this month too after i convinced i was getting symptoms lol as i do every month lol been spotting for last few days so not start new cycle yet but im sure tomorrow will be cd1 , has anyone else been told that actually i was told that new cycle never starts untill you see red has anyone else been told this ?? (again from my friend currently going through fertility ) hummmmm

pop sorry bout DH lol mine is always grumpy these days but we are off on hols on 26th so he fx will chill lol, im also a wine drinker need to deffo cutdown lol lol

imps when you testing to confirm your preggers ;)

bean I don't think a single glass per night is that much but I am a total wino isn't one glass supposed to be detoxifying or something?

Imps Updiffed!! 100%.
A bit upset by your comment that your boobs are more painful now, as the last two cycles I have been in reach-for-the-hottie-bottie agony with boob pain during my 2ww, and I was planning on cutting down my alcohol intake

Biscuits so sorry you're still poorly :(

maybe I'm so sorry, it really doesn't get any easier, does it?

DH is off work today (shift worker) and is in a foul mood, today's going to be deeeeeeelightful

Good luck Beedle and Maybe I'm sure Imps' scary talk will ensure that AF steers well clear of you both.

Little so sorry, but was that a 22 day cycle? I think that was my cycle length when I conceived DD, and it;s definitely an improvement on 14 days. Hopefully this is a sign that the acupuncture etc is doing something.

Hope the poorly ones feel better soon.

oh and maybe hope the evil witch stays away from you as well today, if not we can both beat her over the head with a big stick so that she gets the message
