Surely the grads should have moved on to the mothers thread?!?

Bunnygirlie · 03/11/2013 11:35

We are on the most active list Grin

BlindKitty · 03/11/2013 11:30

merk you suggested the digi!!!!

feather totally know what you mean about the copter, the grads have been trying to convince the 'copter-ers' to move to their thread for ages but haven't quite felt up to joining the 'big girls' yet. Promise the copter isn't scary and we're all super experienced in hand holding now Smile. Oh and re ic they might have been positive, it's just REALLY hard to see!!!

lady re feather's outburst, I had a very similar one the day before mine in here! Anyway I effing knew you were diffed then!!!

Bunnygirlie · 03/11/2013 11:14

Oh barking Brew and Cake for you x FX you get the witch soon (whoever thought we'd be wishing AF on someone)

I missed off kitty oops, probably others too, soz!

Question - who has also had laparoscopy/hysteroscopy? Did your AF change? Mine seems to be heavier (and I haven't packed enough supplies), I hope it isn't too much longer!

ladybunnikins · 03/11/2013 10:34

Oh Barking, hopefully it is a sign of AF Cake

barkingtreefrog · 03/11/2013 10:27

YBR being built through tears at present Bunny, I'm having a bad day. Not necessarily in ttc terms, just woke up feeling very emotional. Had a brief exchange of words with DP and we very, very rarely argue so afterwards I got upset and started crying. His immediate reaction to me crying is to say 'don't cry' which makes me worse. If I'm feeling sad and I've removed myself to a separate room so I'm not doing it in front of him why can't I bloody cry?! Sad

He's been and apologised but I'm still crying and don't even know why. Desperately hoping it's because AF will finally arrive tomorrow (I always have an irrationally emotional day the day before AF). It's been more than 60 days and I've had 6 doses of Provera so you never know....Hmm Hmm

On my phone as usual so can someone please add me to the list?

Lovely story feather I often think about how DH would react, I hope I find out one day.

Check out all the pg berries popping in, don't be strangers ladies x

tally so so happy to hear you are feeling better

RP I'd be really pissed off in that situation, if they usually come and swim with kids whilst you and OH do your think its very unfair to just assume its ok without asking! Grrrrrrr on your behalf

barking how is the YBR coming along? I'm def not on it today, AF in full flow and its raining Sad

FeatherFeather11 · 03/11/2013 09:34

Not yet merk but will give both a go soon. Didn't take a pic of the digi as I forgot it disappears - may have to do the other digi one now too.

CatsCantFlyFast · 03/11/2013 09:26

~Tiptoes back in so as not to annoy barking~

Feather have you done an IC today just to see if its showing positive yet? (And an OPK, that's interesting too)
Ps- get a photo of your digi, the screen goes blank after a couple of days!

Good job on the yellow brick road barking, I
expect you're back on it this cycle

FeatherFeather11 · 03/11/2013 09:17

Ha lady - I was obviously having a hormonal moment!

Thanks so much thunder - can't believe it! As I said before though, I really had everything stacked against me, so if it can happen to me, then everyone should know that they'll be ok.

Know it's early, and know anything can happen, but just the fact that I now know that I can get preg is a relief. Have spent 10 years with no contraception and no 'accidents' so just didn't think my body was ever going to play ball.

Thundercatsarego · 03/11/2013 09:06

Oh my actual god congratulations feather!! Just had a tear in my eye with your story Thanks

ladybunnikins · 03/11/2013 09:06

Ah, that's so sweet, that's what I wanted from my husband but he's still not believing it. (Plus I've only seen him cry once in 7 years.) Congrats on the digi!
I had a look back and yes, Merk was the first to suggest using a digi and then Kitty suggested a Frer. I also liked your rant, Feather, on 29/10, "Basically I'm screwed and never going to get pregnant." Smile

FeatherFeather11 · 03/11/2013 08:55

Now, now Berries! kitty oh gosh sorry! It was you and merk and then lady told me to do it yesterday rather than my plan for this morning. Thank you all otherwise I would have kept doing IC and drinking Wine not knowing!

kitty scared to join the copter yet! Too early and intimidated a little. Plus, I'm not ready to leave here!

Thanks yorkie, gill and rp - thank you! Your turns next! This is a v lucky thread!

rp your sil sounds like mine - a right pain in the a*se. Hope you get to have your proper swim while the Bil and oh look after the little'uns. Know what you mean about Other People's Children - I'm a bit like that too. Flowers

Someone asked how I told oh earlier in the thread. It went down like this: OH was on the phone re work so I went and sat on the bed with the test under my pillow. Finally, he came off the phone and I asked him to come in to the room. He sat down on the bed and I handed him the test and he burst into tears - in the 10 years we have been together, I have only seen him cry once before. So we both basically sat there laughing and blubbing and saying 'can't believe it' and 'we can't get too excited yet' and 'what if the test is wrong?'

Did a digital this morning at 5am - pregnant!

Took all my strength not to tell our best mates last night. Think they knew as they're aware we're ttc and know how much I love a wine to six usually. Grin

DO NOT TRUST INTERNET CHEAPIES!

barkingtreefrog · 03/11/2013 08:44

Hold on, hold on kitty, i was first to suggest feather tried something other than an IC. Don't be stealing my thunder GrinGrinGrin
