Here we go again.....

The smallprint –
Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 6+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooooh aren’t we strict!

Ha ha! kitty, brilliant typo!

I've been cheered up by a long phonecall with DP . And I've got half a wedding dress made, bought 3 bridesmaids dresses (online) and decided on a wedding reading. All good progress!

BlindKitty · 25/12/2013 21:57

All these sprouts will undoubtedly ruin any ttc later I'm afraid! Dh had extra today so not looming forward to our marital bed later haha!!!

FeatherFeather11 · 25/12/2013 21:44

Oh, don't worry happy - I'm ok, just fleeting feelings of sadness about the three months that could have been. Uncle lives overseas, so odd feeling but we weren't close.

CD5 here and af still hanging about. Might go tilt my pelvis, eat some cold chipolatas and see what happens

Sorry Feather didn't read the rest of your post before I posted.
So very sorry to hear about your uncle and sad milestone today. Sending lots of hugs

Are you suitably relaxed though Feather as I'm not sure the sprouts and pelvis tilting will work in isolation!!
Oh and she also told DP last week that there is some kind of special massage that helps with getting upduffed

FeatherFeather11 · 25/12/2013 18:45

I've just eaten my own body weight in sprouts, and plan to tilt my pelvis up against the Christmas tree. I'm sorted!

Have had a day of two halves: lovely food and hanging out with family, but my (distant) uncle who I hardly know has had a heart attack and it doesn't look like he'll pull through. Also, today I would have been 3 months preg if it hadn't been ectopic. :(

Anyway, hope everyone is well. Somebody pass the cava pls. Xxx

BlindKitty · 25/12/2013 18:28

Tbf we didn't know about the sprouts haha!

barkingtreefrog · 25/12/2013 17:33

I've consulted the Berry Rules and in this situation, happy, you are positively encouraged allowed to sausage wang your MiL as long as you are wearing a paper hat from a cracker while you do so.

Merry Christmas lovely ladies. Am certain 2014 is going to be a very fertile year for us all.

In a drunken moment last week DP told his mum that we've been TTC and also about our visit to the FC. Today is the first time I've seen here since so I've had it all today. Apparently all we need to do Berries is eat sprouts, relax and tilt our pelvises (pelvi??) after DTD. So that's where we've been going wrong all these months!!

barkingtreefrog · 25/12/2013 16:25

Onwards and upwards lady, AF is a mixed blessing but always good to know the plumbing is still working. I've just been for a run so I've probably destroyed all the chi in my kidneys and will never have a normal cycle ever again.

Struggling a little today. I do not need generic texts from people I haven't heard from all year (except to announce their bump) signed by them and their children . I also do not need comments from my mum about how isn't visiting her brother for the first time in years because of course she has grandchildren now . I most of all don't need to be sat here crying because this Christmas I was supposed to have a little 5 month bump .

Someone please slap me with a pig in blanket.

BlindKitty · 25/12/2013 16:01

Just dropping in to say merry Christmas to my lovely fellow berries! 2014 is YOUR year!!! Love you guys xxxxx

ladybunnikins · 25/12/2013 14:58

Merry Christmas to all the Berries! Just cooked Christmas dinner for my parents which seemed to go down well. Santa has brought me AF but at least that's the end of a long cycle. Onwards to 2014!

barkingtreefrog · 25/12/2013 12:54

Congratulations cbmc . Sorry, I saw your post earlier but assumed you'd posted by accident in our thread and weren't actually a 'berry' as we hadn't heard your story! It's always nice to hear success stories of people getting pg when they have been trying for more than a year or two . Is yours an 'au natural' surprise after trying for a while or clomid/ivf etc?

Happy Christmas Berries!! With all the imminent IVF I reckon next year will be a Berry bump and baby bonanza!!

Boomgoestheweasel · 25/12/2013 12:44

Popping in to wish all you gorgeous berries a lovely Christmas and a new year full of berry BFPs xxx

cbmb12 · 25/12/2013 11:55

Thanks! I haven't name changed - am just new to this, so hadn't posted on this thread yet! EEK! Faint (ish) line but darker than before so I am counting it as a BFP.

CatsCantFlyFast · 25/12/2013 11:53

Cbmb congrats... Have you name changed?

IamKuma · 25/12/2013 11:29

Merry Christmas Berries. I hope that 2014 brings you everything you wish for. x

Tallyra · 25/12/2013 10:03

Merry Christmas everyone. We'll be seeing you all in the copter soon, fingers crossed all that waiting and seeing other people's horrible pg announcements will be worth it very soon.

Bunnygirlie · 25/12/2013 09:35

Have a lovely day Berries x

cbmb12 · 25/12/2013 09:00

Hi all - i took an frer yesterday and had the faintest of faint lines (but my husband saw it too) and another this morning and it is darker...so I guess I am pregnant! Today is my AF due date (but sometimes I am slightly late) so am praying I don't get chemical pregnancy. EEEK!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

FeatherFeather11 · 25/12/2013 08:58

Happy Christmas Berries!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Here's to an abundant, healthy, happy 2014.

Ps. Santa, if you're listening: sort it out, would you?

CatsCantFlyFast · 25/12/2013 05:40

Happy Christmas Berries I had a chat with Santa and he promises BFPs this year. Hope you all have a lovely day and I restrain myself from murdering the mil

Bunnygirlie · 24/12/2013 23:58

gill I do feel the ivf trailblazing pressure

Bunnygirlie · 24/12/2013 23:57

Dear FC (that can mean fertility clinic or father Christmas)

I don't mind getting nowt this year but can I please have a baby or BFP for next Christmas?

Thanks, Bunny x

barkingtreefrog · 24/12/2013 23:46

Dear Santa,
Please bring me a +opk. Preferably followed a couple of weeks later by a bfp. If you can't manage that then just a normal cycle would be lovely and I can take it from there .
I've been a good girl all year, I promise.
