Round up your ghosties and ghoulies and long legged beasties, the BESH are going to scare out the BFPs!

Sorry, fsr. Definitely not daft to have hoped. I think everyone does.

Not daft at all, FSR. I think everyone hopes that.

Hello hags. Droid showed up today, after a week of on and off spotting. I'm now waiting for the clinic to call me back and let me know if they can fit me in this cycle. More than a little gutted to be honest, part of me was still clinging to the hope that we might manage a baybee win without help. Daft I know, considering all previous evidence.

I saw her on a good day it seems but yes, she's amazing.

Oh gosh, your poor friend, fee. How very courageous she sounds.

Oh gosh I'm completely lacking in grace. It's quite bad actually. Slightly better since being diffed but not much I saw my friend whose (?who's) baybee was still born in July. She is so very gracious. Obviously hurting a lot still but grateful that she had her daughter despite what happened. Hugged me when I said I was diffed. I don't think I'd be so gracious in her position. She has a wonderful nature though! I found it humbling to spend time with her.

I can manage to pretend to be graceful about it for a short period of time but not for long. I sometimes have to restrain myself from posting very unhelpful things on the boards here when people complain about babies not sleeping or unexpected/unwanted pregnancies

God yes. I am so graceless and bitter about people who seem to have it easy, even though I know perfectly well they could be secretly living with all sorts of awfulness, just not choosing to share it.

faith has hit the nail on the head I think. It's about expectations and then having to reframe them when those expectations turn out to be completely wrong!

I definitely find myself irritable with those people whose lives working out exactly as they thought it should be. I need to be more gracious but I find it annoying!

YES, faif, that's exactly it. I always planned to have three children, and to have them before I turned thirty. I'm thirty in December, so there is an outside chance I'll have DC1 while I AM thirty, but that's as close as it'll get.

Although I have been wondering vaguely about adoption, so if IVF is a massive failure, you never know, maybe my DC have been born already?

Nope, completely understandable. I am massively of my friend who is due to drop with DC2 next month, they got married 3 weeks before us. It's about not being where you expected to be in life dor.

Not at all. A friend of mine who has a shiny new baybee was moaning the other day about being jealous of a diffed friend of hers. I was lost for words.

Is it wrong to still feel narked that friend of ours who got married 3 months after us have just announced they are diffed for the second time.
? I know I am pregnant and all that but I still feel irritated that they have had it so easy!

I don't think I'm technically good enough to be either really, raspberry, but roadie I guess! I can see the appeal of mountain biking though, but it's been a long time since I went over anything more bumpy than the occasional kerb! The Tour de France this year got me all enthused (it should have done last year really with Cav doing so well), followed by the Olympics and various other tours. I got my road bike for Christmas last year for the triathlon-that never-was and loved it from the very first ride. I'm particularly loving it because it's both safe and fun, neither of which are the case with running. Seeing as it was running that sent me into anaphylaxis I'm very wary of doing it again, but so far even pushing quite hard on the bike hadn't had the same effect, hurrah!

I'd share the sun if I could! It's a nice thing about the east, it may be fecking cold in winter, but it also tends to be relatively dry and sunny :)

afternoon ladies. Euro/Evil please don't hog the sun, it's really gloomy where I am and I would like you to share it please :) and quite drizzly.

Evil are you a roadie on the bike then or off road? I love mountain biking and got into it in a big way a few years ago but this last year, since I got married really, I've lost it completely but really miss it. I'm due on this weekend too, Sunday to be precise.

I'm having my hair cut at home tonight! Such a novelty, I usually go to a salon but my hairdresser lost her premises and is in the middle of setting up the new one so tonight she's coming to me.

Hello all. Hope you're alright, al, why a horrible situation to have to deal with :(

Sun here too, though a bit chilly. I've put in some miles on my bike and had lunch with a friend, all is right with the world! Droid due at the weekend, mind you.

I lived in Yeadon until last summer and worked in Leeds City Centre. We would have been so close to each other!

Morning fishwives. Well, afternoon actually.

I'm feeling pretty good today. The sun is shining and I went for pilates (or pirates as it is now known chez euro) before work so I am feeling tall. :)

Ov is looming though, so the mentalling is imminent.

No plan with hcg, lemons. Just presenting my arm for blood every week till it goes away. When is your next counselling sesh?

Morning witches.

al I'm so sorry to hear about your pupil. How is school today?

bugs has droid turned up yet?

Morning all

How are you today al? And norf ? Your hcg needs its ass firmly kicked.

I'm so sorry Al. You're allowed to be sad you know - for the life lost, for the impact you know it's having on his family and friends. :( how awful.

I didn't teach him personally but I do teach one of his brothers. Can't believe they were both in today - so much strength!

And yes bugs, we must be fairly close by!! I'm a Pudsey girl
