Oh Retro that sounds gorgeous :)
Enjoy it!!!

RetroHippy · 15/03/2014 16:31

Thanks everyone Grin

Spotti, your shop sounds amazing. Enjoy it, I hope you feel better after a bit of treating yourself. And don't you dare feel guilty!

The house is detached, three bed plus loft converted (with pull down ladder). Cellar converted into a bar - DH is Grin.

Enough off road parking for our needs, reasonable sized garden, loads of light and the current owner has done it out beautifully.

Just need to start filling the bedrooms now Grin

Treaclepie19 · 15/03/2014 16:27

Oh Spotti I could really eat some cake right now.
Trying to stick to my diet but being ill has just meant I've eaten nothing some days and everything others. GAH!

Nordicmom · 15/03/2014 16:26

yeeah Retro congtrats :)!!!

Spotti · 15/03/2014 16:13

...might have just been in Asda and bought cake, chocolate spread (my new favourite binge food Wink ) and jammy dodgers and then eaten the whole packet of jammy dodgers. Oops! Ah well, I'm allowed to be fat today. It's compensation for all the pain (and heartache) AF is causing me!

Is there an April bus anywhere? I think I'm looking at setting up camp somewhere towards the back...having an apparent 35 day cycle, it's looking like it's gonna be a loooooonnnnnng wait for my next BFP Sad.

broodysnoopstie · 15/03/2014 16:10

Sorry spotti Thanks

Treaclepie19 · 15/03/2014 16:04

Congrats retro!!!

Booo Spotti :(

broodysnoopstie · 15/03/2014 16:01

congrats on new house retro Thanks kitty I'll ring them on Monday morning if no af xSmile

Spotti · 15/03/2014 15:59

Yay for Retro's new house! Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 15/03/2014 15:52

broody - someone don't pick up HCG levels in there urine so only a blood test will show. You can ask for one to find out

Well done on the house, Retro how exciting! What's the house like?

Hope I get a solid smiley tomorrow too, toots Grin

Spotti · 15/03/2014 15:51

...and as if by magic, the witch appeared. Grr! and a bloody painful ERTD too Angry
Looks like I'm not joining in with the POAS party tomorrow Sad

kurama · 15/03/2014 15:39

Congrats retro! Hope you get ur bfp soon :)

RetroHippy · 15/03/2014 15:35

Thanks toots, still can't believe it!

It's absolutely perfect for us. Bit overwhelmed at the moment actually Grin

toots123 · 15/03/2014 15:30

Congrats retro, awesome news :)

Exciting times ahead. Hope you get your bfp soon!

forth flashing smiley this morning... we missed out today butwill dtd totomorrow and hoping we get a solid smiley tomorrow!

RetroHippy · 15/03/2014 15:27

WE GOT THE BLOODY HOUSE!!!!!!

The EA called us right back. Had to up our offer but they took it!!!

May have POAS whilst still high on adrenaline while DH is dropping the documents off at the EAs. Bfn, but it isn't fmu and I am only 11dpo. But still, we got the house!!!!

Mental. We keep looking at each other and just laughing Grin

broodysnoopstie · 15/03/2014 15:18

I haven't been to doc kitty was worried they'd just say if you haven't had a bfp you're not pg and wasting our time. Do you think I could just be missing this period? or there is still a chance?

Treaclepie19 · 15/03/2014 14:54

Sounds reasonable to me missmrs!
I don't get spotting though so not really sure.

Retro eeek what an exciting time for you at the moment!!!

I am frantically trying to tell myself not to test early. Voting on pregnancy tests on Countdown to Pregnancy haha. Oh dear.

kurama · 15/03/2014 14:54

I got bogof frers from boots too Smile and I picked up some cb digi ovs. so bring on next month!

RetroHippy · 15/03/2014 14:46

Oh dear. We have been house hunting today (dragged from my sick bed).

We've just viewed the dream house. It. Is. Amazing.

But the absolute top end of our budget (and that's if they accept our offer). We've got to wait till Monday to see if they accept it. .With that ^and waiting for a bfp I'll be a nervous wreck by midweek.

But I did manage to get bogof FRERs from Boots, hurrah!

katecupoftea · 15/03/2014 14:26

Don't ask me, I'm not even sure I know what spotting looks like!

missmrsmummy · 15/03/2014 14:21

DH has a new theory - could implantation happen during spotting, then hormones would be released to stop AF? Now we are really clutching at straws!

What exactly is spotting?once you have spotting, does it mean AF is definitely coming?

KittyVonCatsington · 15/03/2014 13:08

Please don't be sorry for your long post, Nordic - I am speechless reading it and a little teary.

I'm not sure how to respond without sounding clichéd or tactless, but the feelings you describe sound perfectly understandable and I can't comprehend how hard it must be to have all of those losses and to go through surrogacy. Thank you for putting it into words though as it helps a little bit to understand how hard it is for women with fertility issues, when I really haven't been trying for very long but am already terrified at the realistic thought of not achieving our goal.

You sound like an incredibly strong woman who has been through an awful lot. Will be thinking of you today Shamrock

LittleMissSunshine33 · 15/03/2014 13:06

Thanks ladies! Not sure when I will start but I am standing cheering you all on and purchasing all my products ready and waiting! Will try the same as I did before and see if it works again!
Fingers X for you all I think March will end like it began with lots of BFPs!!!

Nordicmom · 15/03/2014 12:55

Kurama good luck for the next round of clomid . My friend had her DS on it :).

Nordicmom · 15/03/2014 12:54

Sorry for long post . Just wanted to add that I do believe where there's a will there's a way ... And I won't be giving up any time soon .
