treats I'm impressed with the fertility reindeer necklace find! I think we should purchase several and chuck them on the Christmas tree as decorations (it's a very big sleigh)

Welcome olive, purpleblue, pinkie29, and strawberry. And huge congrats to strawberry and debeez. Magical sleigh already!

Great news about your flat combat, these good luck things come in 3's......so wonder what else you might like Wink

Aw panda, that's unbelievable. Look at this way, statistically out of that group, you'll be the next one to get pregnant...have a Wine in the meantime

Cheers for the top up limeleaf, you're a very good host I must say

Congrats to all you bfps Grin I'm joining in the hope of bringing everyone else and myself some luck, I'm currently on cd43 and 9 days late, tested on day 35 bfn no sign of af yet just a few cramps lots of twinges/pulling slightly sore boobs and exhausted with hunger pangs! plan to test again on Friday 30th if she's not shown herself! I have had very long cycles in the past up to 46 days hence why not getting my hopes up yet but seem to have settled average 33 days since coming off the pill x

Hi all, another newbie here.. not 100% au fait with all the abbreviations here but Im ttc #3 had mirena taken out in January and had first proper AF beginning of March [and OMFG did she return to me with a vengeance!]

She is due again next week around Wednesday, from the MN calendar I was ovulating the second week in March so we have fingers crossed.

Have sore boobs, feeling very slightly nauseous and absolutely tired out but I did anyway before Af came before so Im not getting too excited yet.

StrawberrytallCAKE · 24/03/2012 16:10

Thank you debeez lime and panda I got the official clear blue digital confirmation this afternoon. I hope it is a very lucky thread!! I'm a little daunted and I think I might delete the 2 obem's I have on the sky planner. Good luck everyone. Thanks

Debeez · 24/03/2012 14:45

Congrats Strawberry.

We had our BFP this morning. Was shaking so much when I saw it. Rather faint line compared to the control one but as I've been naughty and tested uber early I'm not overly worried.

Told the bestest friend ever and you ladies. Everyone else can wait for another 8 weeks :o

30 Messages in with BFP's already, this must be a lucky thread. Fingers crossed for you all.

PandaWatch · 24/03/2012 09:16

Great news Combat and congratulations Strawberry!

So my life has just turned into a sitcom. Not only is my friend pregnant again but next week we are going on holiday with Sil and her DH who have a new baby. For part of the holiday we will be staying with DH's 3 cousins. Wife of one cousin is due in June and have now just found out other two cousins are also pregnant (one with twins). So, barring the post-menopausal auntie, I will be the only woman there who isn't pregnant or has a tiny baby Envy

LimeLeafLizard · 23/03/2012 22:31

Hey combat that is great news about selling your flat, well done! What is the 'family house' like?

Strawberry it doesn't sound like you'll be here for long since you already have a bfp! Smile But nice to have you on board in the meantime...

combatqueen · 23/03/2012 20:17

And hello to all the new people :)

combatqueen · 23/03/2012 20:16

Pipbin in the nicest possible way I hope not to see you on this sleigh.

Panda I have also just found out about another friend who is expecting, felt quite jealous about others who have rdcently announced pregnancies but this one is different, its been a long long road for this couple so im just over the moon for them.

Also in a great mood because I have just exchanged contracts on the sale of my flat and the purchase of a "family house" :-) and have just drunk 1/2 a bottle of bubbly looking forward to moving on 4th. Lots to distract me from ttc this month! (in a good way because I have been too obsessed the last few months)

Happy weekend everyone

StrawberrytallCAKE · 23/03/2012 19:42

I poas yesterday morning and today and well there they were some quite faint bfp's! I don't really know what thread or board I belong to now? I'm thinking until I see the words on a digital stick then I shouldn't believe it.

What a lovely christmas present it would be (and 30th birthday present in may) from my ddad up in heaven!

Fingers crossed for all of you and me too!

Debeez · 23/03/2012 14:22

Thank you for having me everyone!

I cannot wait for easter eggs panda. I think they taste better cos of something scientificayay to do with chocolate to air ratios, shape, ah who gives a shoe EASTER EGGS SOON! Plus they mean new life and new hope so we should all eat LOTS.

PandaWatch · 23/03/2012 11:30

Treats I'm so sorry for your loss. There will be lots of positivity here to help you look to the brighter future.

How is it that Easter egg chocolate always taste so much better than regular chocolate?!

LimeLeafLizard · 23/03/2012 09:44

Welcome Olivetti. It is still early in the day so may I offer you a Brew?

hello Pipbin you've a comfy seat reserved here but we hope you don't need it...

Olivetti · 23/03/2012 08:43

Hi, please can I join? TTC #2, cycle day 11 of month 1

Pipbin · 22/03/2012 22:24

I'm not here yet ladies. Just dropping in to say hi and pass round the cake.
Hi Treats nice to meet you.

I hope my seat here goes cold, if that doesn't sound too weird.

LimeLeafLizard · 22/03/2012 21:54

Hey treats that is a strangely coincidental find! Not really my style, but I'd be willing to give it a go in case it helps!

Treats · 22/03/2012 21:46

Thanks everyone. I don't want to NOT talk about it as such, but right now I want to focus on the future. Thanks for adding me to the list.

I've got over the disappointment of AF arriving yesterday. I've just gone online to get some more Pre-Seed and have cleared some space in mine and DH's diary for next weekend......

Rofling at the fertility reindeers. Maybe we all need one of these

LimeLeafLizard · 22/03/2012 21:29

Well done Crazy for the brand new stats... to add, my AF is due 10 April.

Welcome Happily and Debeez, lovely to have your company! Smile Great to see familiar faces from the old thread... Hope we get lots of BFPs this flight and lots of babies during the festive season!

Hello everyone, I'm just swinging by to mark my place on the sleigh. i love the idea of the fertility reindeers, so that swung it. I'm technically not on the new cycle yet as AF has still not arrived but I'm pretty sure she's on her way, but not sure when she'll come.

Treats I had a peek at the other thread, I'm so sorry for your loss, and hope that this month brings you - and everyone else - what we are hoping for.

Crazytictac · 22/03/2012 19:21

Hey panda, I'm just munching on an Easter egg Blush but reserve a few of the toffee quality streets for me! How long is your usual cycle?

treats, please hop on! So very sorry to see your circumstances. Note what you said but don't want you to think I'm trivialising the situation either. Have a Wine with us ready for the journey.

Treats · 22/03/2012 15:42

Hi - can I join in?

Long time MNer - but more a lurker than a poster. TTC'ing my 3rd baby, and on CD2 of our third month trying.

I should mention that this happened to me at the end of last year, which is why I'm so very keen to have another baby (never planned to have a third). I know there's a special thread but I really just want to chat about all things TTC, and not specifically about what happened.

Good luck to everyone here - bring on the Christmas babies.

PandaWatch · 22/03/2012 15:39
Crazytictac · 22/03/2012 14:57

Welcome aboard happilymarried and debeez, hope this is a lucky sleigh for you.

I wasn't that keen on TTC a Christmas baby initially but just think if it's meant to be, it will happen!
