Smile don't forget the sushi Wink

Smile87 · 08/12/2012 11:08

Completely know how you feel. This year my sister had my gorgeous nephew, my best friend had my godson. Yesterday my cousin had her baby. And my maid of honour had her baby girl this morning Hmm. But today I'm going to eat a big bit of Brie and Pâté and go buy myself some nice underwear :)

Boozeandadietjinglebell · 08/12/2012 10:29

When's AF due Raspberrys? I didn't get a BFP early last time. Wait it out, and try to resist POAS again or it'll drive you mad.

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 08/12/2012 08:53

Just seen ur post block thanku for thinking of me. Thanks

How are u?

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 08/12/2012 08:52

Did a test this morning, negative.

But no AF yet - it's all a waiting game isn't it?!

Now to go and make my house immaculate and eat loads of chocolate and get ready for friend of dh who only comes round when they want advice about their ds. As a childcarer there's nothing more I want than to talk "work" at the weekend while all other conversations are to dh while he ignores ds coz raspberries knows what she's doing

Blockette · 07/12/2012 22:49

FX for you tomorrow Raspberrys!

Blockette · 05/12/2012 15:29

Oh no! I think the holidays make it worse. We will be strong! And as you said coke now you can TTC again - you can start timing things easier now. Although having to go to Laura Ashley is worth the tears on its own!

Best way to deal with pregnant friends is to have a nice big glass of wine in front of them, along with some lovely sushi, then bend down to do your shoes up while smirking the whole time! Xmas Wink
And when you feel tearful go upstairs and lie belly-down on your bed, and get your DP to bring you blue cheese on toast!

DH has already started on a game plan for this month, apparently I have to come home from my work Christmas party (its in London, I live in Cardiff!!) instead of staying there, then he's going to get me drunk and we'll DTD - He said this is a sure fire way to make sure your pregnant! Xmas Wink

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 05/12/2012 14:26

Oh dietcoke - I'm sorry. and complain all u like - coz sometimes you've just got to coz it makes u feel better!!! And it's there's a lot of people here that can understand. So sorry about ur mc. Sad
Big Hugs all round this week I think. And AF is a vindictive bitch!! I'm waiting for the cowbag to arrive.

Which'll be lovely, seeing pregnant friends all through the next week so I'm gonna have to toughen up and cry when I get home

andadietcoke · 05/12/2012 14:07

I can't stop crying

I've decided my Aunt Flo is a vindictive bitch who is punishing me for eagerly awaiting her arrival.

I promise not to complain again because despite it all I'm very grateful things are getting back to normal and I can TTC again this month but I am having a nightmare day. Think I'm bleeding more than with the mc, have been in agony, and have had to buy new knickers, tights, skirt and maternity pads at lunchtime. Drugged up to the eyeballs and poor (only shop with something suitable in the little Cheshire town I work in was Laura Ashley). Argh.

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 05/12/2012 13:16

had a cry last night and this morning

Bloody hormones!!! Xmas Blush

Off to make a cuppa Brew anyone want to join me??!!! Grin promise I won't cry very much

Blockette · 04/12/2012 17:14

YES!

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 04/12/2012 16:56

Big hugs Block

2moro is cycle day 28, 10 days post ov - gotta hold out till the weekend, but I know I'm going to be gutted if its a -ve. But also desperately not wanting to get my hopes up, also desperately wanting it to be a positive. Does that make any sense?! Confused

Blockette · 04/12/2012 15:07

PS I might have had a little cry yesterday too ....

Blockette · 04/12/2012 15:06

I know the feeling! - My cousins baby was born yesterday! It's very hard to smile while trying to avoid all the baby pictures! And pick out a card to send them :(
And having to hear about everyone talking about the royal baby!

Feel free to scream and stamp with us Xmas Grin

AND remember, If its not your month this month, we will have Christmas over our next 2ww so that should fly by really quickly Xmas Wink

But maybe you are so hormonal because you have something growing in your belly? When I feel like poop my BF reminds me that she had no symptoms at all till 6 weeks! then she was sick for the rest of the 9 months

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 04/12/2012 14:39

rant alert*
Shit!!! Fuck!!! Bollocks!!!!!
I've turned into a hormonal cowbag!!! Was doing ok, but friend just text to say their 12week scan went ok & it's turned me into a tearful mess. I'm so pleased for them but also so insanely jealous. Sad Blush Sad
Pretty sure AF is on her way, but it's all a waiting game.

Sorry for the rant, think I just needed it out of my system!!
How's everyone else?

Sorry for the rant, can't discuss with real world.

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 03/12/2012 19:31

Oh Block I'm so sorry. Sad

AF is a bitch!!

I'm super hormonal pmt style so I'm not thinking anything +, if anything feeling rather sad & negative.

Hope you're ok Thanks

fl0b0t · 03/12/2012 18:31

Bugger Blockette, was getting my hopes up for you! At least you can enjoy a Christmas drinkie!

Got a couple of weeks before I can test and driving myself mental with it all. For no reason at all I'm exhausted today too which doesn't help! If I get a -ve it will be overe christmas, with difficult MIL around..... don't want that!

andadietcoke · 03/12/2012 13:32

Nooooo. That sucks, i'm sorry. New Year BFP instead with me? And September babies that will be super intelligent as the oldest in their year?

Blockette · 03/12/2012 13:06

Definitely not implantation pains as the evil wench that is AF just got me!!! Xmas Sad

Rubbish!! - Its all on you now Raspberrys!

No Christmas +ve /sob! Xmas Sad

anyone else about to get their BFP's? I need to share someone else's happiness if I'm not allowed my own!

andadietcoke · 03/12/2012 12:58

Dr Google is evil. Are the stabbing pains on one side (i.e. could they be [whispers] implantation pains)? I'm a menace with SS, sorry!

Blockette · 03/12/2012 09:42

Morning!

I don't know, I might wait till Saturday, AF would be due to start and finish by then, so if it's still not arrived I will have more hope! I also don't want to waste the test as I'm quite sure we've not done it this month, In fact, I've been getting some quite nasty stabbing pains and Evil Dr Google says it could be Endometriosis, which would put a spanner in the works quite a bit. Sad

But I'll wait to speak to a real doctor before writing myself off just yet!

I'm sure I'll crack, but I'll try to wait till the weekend so we can have a double BFP Xmas Grin

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 02/12/2012 18:15

Don't know what danios is?!!!
Was meant to be a Xmas Smile

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 02/12/2012 18:14

Hi block I'm a few days behind u!! Next weekend is the earliest I'll test.

The first week of the 2ww I'm ok - now into the 2nd week & I'm driving myself INSANE!!! thinking about babies, prams, cribs anything baby related. Doesn't help that I love Christmas & I'm up to my ears in Christmas stuff at work, the nativities, the Christmas craft & activities, just want to do it with my own kids, not everyone elses. Xmas Blush
Got a busy December planned & lots to do, even got a night away booked with dh!!

How are u doing with the wait block? Will u test on Wednesday?
What about everyone else? Hope you're all doing ok. [danios]

Blockette · 02/12/2012 17:51

Great, thanks mrsB - i'll look forward to it! You and coke are getting my hopes up now!

  • I'm not holding out too much hope, but we'll see on Wednesday!! Grin

Raspberry's are you with me or a few days behind?
