This thread is the one the Rat Smacketeers all become PSEPP and we are Brooking No Argument this is the case. Fact.

it's ok, just woke DH up to tell him I'm off spinning and he has the kids, they are fighting as usual and DH is nursing a really really bad hangover

Oh Scarlett & Boo I would be fuming too, especially in both your conditions! Scarlett I hope you can go out and do something nice for yourself, let OH stew for a while, no doubt he'll be nursing a hangover anyway!!

Oh scarlet how awful, my DH decided to go to a friends party last night too, he didn't want to go and said he would have to as I wasn't, so under duress off he went, 4 o clock this morning he rolled into bed, his beer breath and bum smells filled the bedroom making me feel sick, and my weekend lie in cancelled :(

Any way, Sweetie brooking so hard that everything is going well still, and pup is providing a lovely cute distraction.

Leaves toast and eggs for everyone (except mine and Scarlet's DH's cos they don't deserve it!)

Waves to Gen

Sweetie hope you are doing ok and you got to take pup out for a nice walk and glad to hear no further spotting. Brooking little embie is making itself at home.

I feel quite run down today, possibly over did it with going to the party yesterday wish we didn't stay as long as we did even though we got back just after 10pm as the meds have been making me feel excessively tired anyway. Awoke this morning with a funny feeling in my throat and a bit of a headache, so I really hope I'm not coming down with anything. Luckily DSis and kids aren't staying over so a nice calming day for me will hopefully pick me up.

Hope everyone is ok, it's ever so quiet around these parts now.

Brooking like mad for you, Sweetie!

And everyone else of course!

Solars I am not really sure what to expect. They did say if you have a bleed to continue with the progesterone. So I don't think it is impossible. If it was a normal month AF would be due Monday but of course things are all over the place. But I haven't had any more spotting, despite frequent knicker checking!!!

Well pup gets her first proper walk today so a very exciting day and the weather looks perfect for dog walking.

Hope everyone has a lovely day planned, boo try not to over do it this afternoon

I'm hoping with all my brooking spirits its implantation too or something to do with the whole process, plus with all the progesterone you're taking wouldn't it be impossible for AF to start anyway until you actually stop the meds?? Or am I just being naive about it?? Hope you can hang on in there, think positive thoughts Sweetie

I'm spotting too so AF is obviously changing her mind and coming to me instead

No Sweetie I will not have it!!

Implantation Sweetie

Solars glad you are keeping busy, so what delights are you making?

Sparks so sorry to hear about your job situation, but brooking that you get another very soon. It sounds like taking your foot off the ttc gas might be just what you need at the moment.

geek I work in IT too and some of the male managers have absolutely zero social skills. I am liking the seagull comparison, we defo have a few of those where I work too.

boo hope you have an excellent party tomorrow for toddlyboo, I hadn't realised teenboo had eyesight problems too, poor lad.

Well I defo think the witch is circling as just had pink cm

Yes indeed Keep 4 sleeps to go now! We have a cousins 21st birthday party to go to on Saturday, plus I offered to help with food so I am busy with that today! May have DSis and kids over after the party so that will definitely keep me distracted on Sunday, plus Monday I already know will be busy with work so hopefully time will soon pass!

Sparkes I am brooking that you get a new job very soon, so you can resume menkuling over ttc instead!

Have a nice trip to Manchester Scarlett

Sweetie how are you getting on with the new sets of meds now during this phase? Anymore symptoms to report?

Geek hopefully all this stress at work is just new manager settling in, hoping this will pass and things will calm down especially as he sees that you are remaining calm throughout all of this!

I had a better, but still disturbed sleep last night, will carry on with the tips from acu lady!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, any nice plans?

Morning ladies, sorry for the radio silence over the last week, well since what Monday? but thought I'd swooooosh by to give you a quick update. I didn't get the job, well Im assuming I didnt, I was meant to hear from them on Wednesday and have not heard from them. hey ho thats just the the way the cookie crumbles!!

I've not handed in my notice, rather I've been given my notice, long story but my job is directly linked with one particular person who is leaving, so my job will cease to exist when he goes the whole thing has been rather worrying/stressful and no one can quite tell me whats going on and what will happen to me, so I've spent the last few days trying to piece everything together!!

We're now focusing on getting me a new job rather than getting me diffed!! We'll not be going back to contraceptives, I dont really see the point anyways, but we've dropped everything. No more CBFM, OPKs, temping etc etc. and in fact so far its been rather nice, because I'm already a week in to my cycle and I've barely had time to think about it.

Sorry for not name checking but hope everyone is well and not mentalling too much about whatever stage you're at!!

keep up the brooking ladies

well i am brooking that his sight won't deteriorate, and that they find a magic cure before then anyway. you know the power of brooking! We are out here on medical research but god, there's just so much that needs to be researched...

geek doesn't your boss know that brooking is a full time job?

Geek you were here and I missed you, good morning my lovely, may I wish you all the best on your sea gull hunt!!! We need you back here, does the twunt boss not realise brooking has to be your priority??

Keep not difficult now, we're used to it, we knew he was deaf when he was 2, but only found out he was going blind in 2010, he has good daytime sight at the moment but no nighttime sight at all, his daytime sight will start to deteriorate as he gets older :(

Brooking you get the job of your dreams Sparks

Morning everyone else

oh gosh boo that must be difficult for you. Good news for keeping the secret, and lets you tell him at your own pace. I'm sure he'll love a new sibling!

geek poor you with work stress. What a dick-wad manager. Surely he can't last with all that flapping, and then you can step in and smooth it all over. I don't know what you do other than that it's IT-y, but is it the sort of thing where you can just get on and do your own thing and let him be twatty?

sparks let us know if you got the job. i didn't realise you've handed in your notice. The biggest fattest ironicest positive will be yours any day!

nearly the end of the week, girlies. Hang in there. (I'll beat you there, mwah ha ha)

Morning ladies, Keep teen boo is indeed a boy but he is also deaf/blind. He hasn't noticed anything and being a teen has a lot to do with it, but it is also just the way he is. If something in his world is changing he needs to be told and have it all explained he wouldn't notice on his own, which makes keeping secrets loads easier from him.

Sorry ladies, I didn't mean to just randomly post and run yesterday! Work has just got so stupid lately. Unfortunately, the manager who left was the only sane, rational, technically skilled manager in the entire department. New manager is a complete seagull - any hint of stress and he can't help but flap and squawk and spread it around like crap. He can't understand why I and my colleague aren't flapping too. Unfortunately he has been confirmed as my new permanent boss so this is now my life :(

sparks please please please don't stop posting, your posts always made me smile. I'm sorry you are having to put TTC on the back burner, but I am glad your professor has finally manned up to getting another job (or was he forced into doing so by a little thing called handing in your notice?!). Really brooking that your recent interview went well, but if not then it is only because fate doesn't want you being prevented from going for your dream job, which surely can't be far away.

sweetie that all sounds ever so promising! I know the progesterone will cause a fair few side effects, but the taste in the mouth thing is surely a pg sign! You are so strong to be holding out until Wednesday before testing.

solars not long to go for you now, either! And scarlett, you surely can't be far away?

boo chuffed to hear your still feeling slightly rough (but not too much so), hope toddlyboo's b'day went well.

Hopefully just a week away from ov here. Been feeling awfully emotional, not helped by being on my own at work a couple of days this week due to one colleague having to take time off to look after his kids while his wife goes on a training course, and the other having a few days off because his wife has just given birth. I can just about cope with that, but I really don't need to be forced to coo coo over the photos too :(

oh sweetie that is all sounding so promising. Not long now. I am brooking for you so hard!! go emby GO Are you taking drugs still? Hope your dh is ok as well, and looking after you.
Has pup had her vaccinations now then? can we see more photos of her? she is so gorgeous.

sorry solars i thought it was on monday... Oh well, now it's 4 sleeps! Hope you've got some nice plans for the weekend to keep time moving.

geek boo to your awful boss. i thought he was leaving? and boo to him keeping you so busy you can't come and talk to us!

boo how long before teenboo guesses something's up - did he ever know you're ttc? i guess teenagers are quite self absorbed. How will he take it? (i think teenboo is a boy...)

Well one family birthday dinner done, just got told dreaded toddler party on Saturday, really glad it's at a play centre, the most I have to do is drink tea. :):)

Oh Sweetie some really great symptom spotting there!! Go emby go!

Sweetie might I suggest or what...... I have been feeling exactly the same. :):):)
