kitty that made me laugh. Some people are clueless.

maybe I just turned the big 3-oh, mr nursecis 31 next week. That's another cracker I hear often 'och, you're both young, you'll be waiting til you're both settled before trying for a family'. Like I said, clueless.

Sorry to not have read through the whole thread, but where are you all at with your ttc-ness? maybe, did you get a positive??

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2013 22:49

Evening all!

Nurse I find people telling youtk relax has the opposite effect Wink. How old are both

Come Cups AF.

Thanks Kitty. How are you?

How are you Solars? I'm just exhausted. A few more pokey sensations. I'm just shattered! I am not taking these as symptoms though. Just progesterone side effects! Oh, and the massive sore boulders that were formally knows as boobs!

Solars · 11/07/2013 22:23

C'mon Cups's AF, how annoying! Hope dtd works Wink

Hello and welcome to Nurse. Now that you are here you must stay. That must take some planning to dtd with DH away a lot. Sorry about spotting.

Oooo Gobbolino I make soda bread quite often too, it's so quick and easy. I'd love a pm too as I'm intrigued to know who you are now.

Kitty, Cups aside from mentalling a little this week (as I found out 2 of the girls i cycled with had scans and their babies showed no heartbeats) I think sunbeam and I are doing ok. Trying to keep the brooking spirit. Yes still having the weekly scans.

How are you doing Maybe? anymore symptoms to report? I'm sure Ernie is snuggled in for the long haul now.

BlindKitty · 11/07/2013 22:00

Hi Guys!!!

have you ever tried 'just relaxing and seeing what happens' Wink sorry, couldn't resist! I've lost count of the times people have said that to me over the last 2 years!

Come on cups af!!!!!!

maybe hope that embie is settling in well!!!!

Sorry Keep completely missed congratulating you on your new niece.

Cups brooking for AF to show even if it does feel a bit wrong Wink

Penguin tell us what you're unsure of, I can't get the acronym list on my phone

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 11/07/2013 19:47

Keep congratulations on your niece Smile

Maybe I quite like ernie, it's cute not cute enough for a real life baby though Sweetie I hope you feeling rough is some very early symptoms

Nurse Welcome to brooking and I'm sorry to hear about the spotting. It sounds really tough living away from your DH.

Peguin what lingo are you unsure of? I know there are some ttc acronyms somewhere on mn. I don't know if you mean more specific ones used on this thread instead?

Gobbo yay I know who you are now!!!

Still no AF, if she's not here by Saturday morning I'm meant to contact the clinic & I think they make me DR for longer. I'm thinking of seducing DH later as that always seems to help AF along. Desperate times Wink I really don't want to DR for any longer.

nearlyanurse · 11/07/2013 19:47

I know maybe, it wasn't so bad the first couple of months, but it's been almost a year. Thats almost 12 lots of dashed hopes. They just don't get it. And poor Mr Nurse reckons his swimmers aint swimming. I think it's just our current situation more than anything, trying to keep my hopes up.

Sorry for moaning - shall we talk about the weather? Ha. Or someone was talking about baking...?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2013 19:42

Oh Nurse, I know people mean well when they say it. But really?! It's the most annoying thing to hear Grin

nearlyanurse · 11/07/2013 19:40

You're all too kind! My sis and friend (the only people I tell when I'm "late") just tell me que sera, and not to worry - apparently I'm stressing about it, and that's why it's not happening. ..they have 2 beautiful babies each...

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 11/07/2013 19:36

Oh Nurse sorry so hear that. Good for you getting yourself sorted with your opk's and thermometer. You actually can't leave now you're here

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2013 19:21

Sorry to hear that Nurse Sad. You must stay here! We insist!

nearlyanurse · 11/07/2013 19:00

Hello one and all. Unfortunately I've had spotting today, and another neg hpt so I think I've lucked out again this month. But can I still hang here?? Y'all are so friendly and kind! And I love the positivity.

Boo, I've taken your advice and ordered some opk strips and a thermometer. Am a woman on a mission - by the time I get to live with mr nurse, I'll know exactly when I need to jump his bones, lol.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2013 17:39

Grin no way!! MrS wasn't really being serious was he?!

SweetieTime · 11/07/2013 17:31

but would you really like your kids called that?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2013 17:16

I love bert and ernie!! 'hey bert' 'hey ernie' Grin. My bro does an amazing impression.

SweetieTime · 11/07/2013 17:14

Maybe we have only had one conversation on names so far, this ended rather abruptly when DH seriously suggested Eric & Ernie or Bert & Ernie if we have twin boys!!! Bloody men.

I have been lurking from a distance and keep checking on the all assisted action. Sounds like you are all doing very well and of course the brooking helps Wink

keepitgoing · 11/07/2013 16:31

Ernie!! Ernie!! Ernie!!

GenericDietCola · 11/07/2013 13:11

Ernie it is!

Hurrah Keep! That seems to have gone quickly.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2013 11:00

Congratulations Keep Thanks hope they are both doing well

keepitgoing · 11/07/2013 10:29

I loved gobbolino. If I ever get a black kitty she'll be sootica.

My niece has arrived :)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2013 09:53

Im Going to have some of my bread with some tiptree jam. I LOVE snickers ice cream bars!

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 11/07/2013 09:46

Hello nurse!

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 11/07/2013 09:45

maybe - I felt shit bags from about day 2 with DS. Don't know if you recall but I subsisted on birds eye potato waffles and snickers ice cream bars for about 3 months!

Maybe this isn't the best advice but I just ate whatever I felt like (within reason) - strongly suggest you do to!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2013 09:00

Welcome Nurse! That really does sound a tough way to TTC! An I'm with Keep I always lose my appetite when it's hot...... Grin

Brooking like billio Keep for your sister! How exciting. There's nothing like a loaf of fresh bread is there?

What lingo are you infused about Penguin? I'll fill you in.

Gen I might have named him ernie. Ernie the embryo

I'm eating a muffin for breakfast. I feel sick this morning, very out of sorts. Far too early to be anything exciting, I just don't feel great.
