Big stretchy yawning wave to you barbie! Smile Sooo tired, just dull ache now, don't need opk's that's for sure... Hmm Just hoping we have success before the 3months is up, also can't believe its only just over 9wk since last mc, and only 1yr since mc before that... Scared of going through all that again, desperately hoping for a successful pregnancy and Ill gladly hang my boots up and count my blessings with gratitude..

Ouch ouch ouch 4ever, that doesn't sound good! I'm no expert at all on cycles and stuff but I think the pain is as you ovulate? Ie when the eggy thing gets released? Confused or I could be talking utter bollocks and you are best to wait for mls or someone who actually knows Grin in fact I'm surprised I managed to get pregnant at all!!!!

Waves to moon and rumours and everyone else missing in action, back soon....

4everhopeful · 08/08/2012 03:55

Owwwwwwweeee still awake, since 2am.. unbearably painful, just took paracetamol and chocolate

Grin Rumours the images you conjour up are too damn funny! Grin Hope you, your boys and your bits enjoyed swimming, Shock horror moment at Ds2 minus armbands and subsequent whale splashing! Hope you survived softplay?!

Big waves Moonmrs Smile agree soooo quiet on here... Hmm Where are you on your cycle? Wanna pick your brains actually, around ovulation, how often do you dtd? We are just every other day considering the old swimmers are meant to live about 5days, did every day on hol, and nothing, and last 2 preg only dtd once the week of ovulation so am starting to think its more luck than science whaddayareckon? Hmm

I'm actually awake with excruciating ovulation pain, owwww, more questions, anyone know if pain happens before, during or after? Last pg had ov pain, avoided dtd for a few days as hols were coming, hey presto, preggers, however also wondering if its post fertilisation and the pain is little blastocyst embryo making its way down my rusty old tubes? Hmm Either way, bloody ouch... Last official cycle of treatment, though official 'time up' on 31st.. Hmm ...so hoping if no joy now, squeeze one more go in...

On an entirely different note, brought my little darlin a few bits from the tres gorgeous new Next collection, in size 3/4! Shock Sad Got her leggings & tshirt last wk and no 2/3 in stock so held up 3/4 & fit fine so got 2 more outfits today - my baaaabaay! No longer my ikkle likkle one! (though of course will always be, even when she's 37! Grin)

Right intense pain subsiding to dull just about bearable ache, must try to get back to sleep and do positive visualisations of Phelps stylee swimmers fertilising egg! Grin

rumours Grin at you and the bits, lol how I did laugh! Sorry I must have missed you going on your hols, hope you had a good time and have managed to get through the mountain of washing - the only drawback of going away huh.

waves to 4ever

tis very quiet on here Hmm

Rumours · 07/08/2012 12:57

I took my boys swimming along with my bits Wink

Rumours · 07/08/2012 12:56

Nope, still wading through the ironing 4ever, but have just taken the bits swimming. Ds1 moaned because he wanted the pool to be nice and quiet and have it to himself, and ds2 jumped in without his arm bands on so I had to do a whale splash to get him aaarrrggghhh, I'm glad I'm back home ironing, just soft play this afternoon Hmm

4everhopeful · 07/08/2012 08:37

Rumours · 05/08/2012 11:24

Coo eee hi moon I'm here, have been on hol. We drove back last night and hit horrendous storms through neekoland but nice weather in blueland, 'twas very bizarre as there's not much distance between them. We listened to the Olympics all the way home, we're all caught up in it too, my sis is there today.

Right need to try an dry a mountain of washing in the rain Hmm and catch up with the thread and cook lunch and iron and think about the last week before school starts again Sad, wish they had longer off.

moonmrs · 04/08/2012 17:56

Just thinking, rumours has been quiet of late, are you ok, or did I miss a holiday somewhere?

moonmrs · 04/08/2012 17:55

Yes 4ever boo hiss to timeframes, theres nothing like a bit of pressure to stress you out hey. Glad to hear about your sister, sounds very scary but it must be a good sign she's been allowed home.

Neeko · 04/08/2012 15:41

Big hugs for barbie so sorry you've been having a rough time of it, but good you are trying to be positive. Thanks for the happy vibes, I dont think this is my month either, but bless you for thinking about us.

Just passing through, happy weekend to everyone.

4everhopeful · 03/08/2012 19:09

Hey barbie sorry to hear how much you've been going through it.. Lovely that you met monkey & had such a nice time... Was about a year ago I met the lovely lady too, first outing after my miscarriage, and she did make it very easy.... Smile Btw thanks for asking about my sis, its been a horribly worrying time and she had enlarged heart and clots dangerously close to it but fingers xd she's responding well to treatment and just home from hospital...

Oh and don't worry I'm sure you didn't kill the thread, I'm normally entirely responsible for that, Hmm just trying not to be paranoid about it... Confused

Course you haven't killed the thread barbie so sorry you've been having such a crap time. That bloody pill Angry sorry but makes me SO angry how much it affects millions of women negatively & yet people still think it is synonymous with women's rights and liberation... Erm, no!
So glad you're starting to feel more like yourself and how lovely about meeting monkey. The Olympic fever here is fab, I'm glued to it (when boys allow!)

lbm so glad u had a good time, I really wish I was going to see something now!

Yes 4ever do update us on your sis, hope you're all ok.

Haha, just listening to ds making dh brush his tongue during teeth brushing then giggling Grin

We're going to Brecon tomorrow for a trip on the day boats, can't wait to see ds1's reaction! Happy weekend all!

barbie1 · 03/08/2012 18:39

Thanks Neeko, I met monkey today and the very gorgeous C, he and dolly had a blast! Was so nice to have company today and such lovely company it was too. It was so effortless, felt like an old friend Smile almost felt back to my old self, except the dizzy spells this evening.

How is everyone? We are watching the Olympics and wishing we were uk based so we could be more involved!

Hope you all have good weekends and I hope I haven't killed the thread!

Neeko · 03/08/2012 13:57

Just having a quick lurk on phone and wanted to send a huge hug to barbie for the tough time u've been having. Hope the horrormones settle down soon. Lovely to see a reappearance of mysticbarbie though!
Sorry for missing everyone else. Back soon xx
