I know i am terrible. It's because i want to know all the gossip. xx

coggy · 18/10/2006 21:47

Natty....LOL at you deciding not to go on 1,001 threads.....I'm sure I've spotted you on a few extra ones today!!!!!

LOL at my (very) short-lived attempt not to be on here so much!!!
As soon as DH went to work.....I logged on!!!!
I confess....I am an addict!!!

pinkranger · 18/10/2006 11:47

hi everyone , I know what you mean about getting online to much and coming on here , i was excatlty that same after my m/c and didnt come on for a week!
When i did i relised how all these "Viturial" people offer me so much support and i have been able to talk on here about things that i hide away in RL as i dont like keep dragging it up for Dh. I will miss our chats ladies but you all need to do what is best for you right now xxxxx

PCm - Look after yourself sweetie xx

Natty1806 · 18/10/2006 11:02

Yeah thats my thoughts coggy, think maybe i should just log on once or twice a week whereas at the moment it seems to be every hour on some days.

coggy · 18/10/2006 10:44

Weirdly enough I was thinking about this this morning.
Thought I might give MN a break for a while as it does all get a bit addictive and obssessive!!

Seem to abandon all else and just focuss on ttc sometimes...can't be good can it?
I think I may cut down on the time I spend online in general....but I know I would feel like I missing out on everyone's news and updates if I left...even for a while.

I feel like I have some very good 'virtual' friends on here.

Natty1806 · 18/10/2006 09:24

PCM tos see you feel like this. What is happening in April 07? Every month i tell myself to give MN a break as it does make you think about it everyday but i never can as when i am having a good or bad day it is nice to log on and have a chat.

my e-mail address is [email protected] if you ever need a chat.

just a quick hello....where has everyone been? are you all hanging out someplace else?
i know the positive threads are busy, i just cant bring myself to go on them (no offence at all meant to anyone)......
feeling fed up and as if it is all futile at the moment.
Just want to fast forward my life to april 07 - i know its bad but i really dont feel much hope at all in getting prg between now and then, i feel like my life is just a timeline, waiting for the next significant date - with no baby inbetween.
So i may bow out of mn for a while, i just seem to be constantly focusing on my desire to achieve pregnancy, other peoples pregnancys, and the fact that i am trying to concieve and make myself "relax" about something which i evidently cant forget about for even a day.
When i think of all the positivity and real, constructive support i have recieved over the past 18mths or so, i am so grateful, and just want to say a big Thankyou....
Hope to catch some of you soon.
Good luck - the very best of luck - to each and every one of you, bfp or otherwise.
love and hugs,
pusscat x x x x

show of hands, sexonlegs, trace, juicylucy, and andi........ i hope i have got this right, someone please correct me if i have got it wrong (no offence to anyone if i havent got your info right please)
difficult to keep up and i know alot of you have other threads to frequent as well.
Cant stop thinking about soh......i hope you are alright soh, and if you read this, know that we are thinking of you((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

Babymad2DS · 16/10/2006 17:30

Quick Question which is more reliable Temp or CM?

Natty1806 · 16/10/2006 16:41

PCM - glad first day back at work went well - are you a partimer being home at 4?

This is one of the threads I will be staying on (no distrespect to others) but to be honest i am sick and tired of going onto the positive threads and never getting anywhere at least here it is not all about how much cm you have what to drink when to bd etc.

However those threads are very usefull when starting out and i learnt a lot from them it just gets a bit of the same old stuff being repeated and with newbies coming and going within a month or two. Which is great for them but not very good for myselfastem (sp?)

Anyway seem to have rambled on here, main threads I will be chating on, (mainly so i get some work done) are this one, the charts one as that is interesting and the weight loss one.

However will probably read the positive ones to look out for BFP of the special ladies on here.

.....right best get on with some work. x

MrsMcJnr · 16/10/2006 16:26

SOH - I am so sorry, I have been through it and really feel for you, at least we have a choice to end our beloved pet's suffering, unlike those people we love. I had my cat Tiggy cremated and then spread her ashes in the rose bed I was creating in my garden. Everytime I see a red rose in it, I think of her and her lovely ways

hi all.....home from my first day back at work- hurray!
soh - please do email me honey, would be lovely to hear from you. Dont worry about rambling emails i ramble with the best of them. I hope you have managed through today ok, i have been thinking of you. Burying pusscat under a special tree is a lovely idea, i did the same a few years ago. It is good to have a place you can go and sit and think about her. Nice idea to plant some bulbs for her around the same spot, you will always remember her when they burst into flower. Hope it gets easier for you x x
Natty - i admire your thinking, good for you! i hope this is one thread that you decide to keep posting on though, there are not many of us (but we are the best of course...)
Well, my af started today, so cd1 and lets hope for good news this month.......keep telling myself it would have been pure fluke and luck to have ovulated right after op and then got prg straight away, but my heart was still hoping
Anyhow, onwards and upwards and all that, am shocked too at the fact tis only 10 weeks till christmas!!!!! OMG!
lots of love to all, hope to manage to have a chat to someone soon, i always seem to miss you all x x x (you arent trying to tell me something are you?

Sexonlegs · 16/10/2006 13:56

Natty, I love your thinking!
Cannot believe it is Christmas though in 10 weeks - hell!

Natty1806 · 16/10/2006 13:47

SOH - glad she went peacfully and was no need to take her to the vets. Big hug from me. x

SOL- 12 weeks hey - good news

Wannababynow - so good to hear from you, your ms sounds horrible but bet it is all worth it.

Decided i am going to chill out this month, and stop posting on about a 1001 threads and just stick to 2 or 3.

Am going to work really hard to shift excess weight before my friends wedding so i am focused on that at the moment and using bding as a form of exercise rather than thinking of what could be made.

Also with it being Christmas in 10 weeks i want to be preggers but on the other hand i love all the drinking and merryness that goes with it so in a way i am not too fused about getting up the duff before Christmas now, and in the new year what will be will be as they say.

pinkranger · 16/10/2006 11:14

SOH - I am so sorry about your cat but pleased for you guys that you were with ehr in the end, she would have felt you there xx

SOL - 12 weeks - gone so quickly xx

Sexonlegs · 16/10/2006 10:45

Oh SOH, I cannot see my screen for the tears. I am so so sorry hun. xx

ShowOfBloodyAndSeveredHands · 16/10/2006 10:37

Congratulations on reaching 12 weeks SOL. Lovely to see you.

Thanks everybody for thinking of me and my poor little cat. Sadly she didn't make it through the night. We sat with her during the evening and had a cuddle and she was very affectionate but tired and limp. She started to wheeze quite badly and then just before bedtime she took a big breath and just drifted off. She seemed quite peaceful at the end and I'm glad she was having a cuddle when it happened and we didn't have to go to the vets. We were bought an apple tree as a wedding present and she loved to sit under it so DH is burying her there this morning. I'm very sad that she has gone but glad she's not suffering anymore.

Hello to everybody. PCM I will not have you calling yourself stupid. Stop that right now. It's always hard going back to work after a break, I get very nervous but it's okay after an hour or so. I will email you if that's alright although I warn you my emails are often long and rambling with no discernible point to them.

Hope everybody's weeks are off to flying starts!

Sexonlegs · 16/10/2006 10:24

Oh SOH, I cried at your post. I am so so so sorry about your puss cat. I seem to remember you saying she was poorly in the summer. I have 2 cats, and I adore them, so I know exactly how you feel. I guess the only thing you can think is that she has had a lovely life, and she will no longer have to suffer. My thoughts are with you.

Hello to everyone else, and I hope you are all well.

I have reached the 12 week mark, but still feel sick as a dog - never mind!

Need to head. Big hugs to you all. xx

WantAbabyNOW · 16/10/2006 08:17

I will be 13 wks on Wednesday. I had a scan again last week and the bubba had the hiccups! When the dpctor told me that and i noticed it next I started laughing and you could see my insides jiggling up and down! We recorded it onto dvd and i have been watching it over and over. The heartbeat was really fast, about 158 bpm, last time it was 154. I spoke to a lassy today who is having a boy and at her last scan the heartbeat was 140bpm... so fingers crossed for a pink one! Either way I am happy!

As for the sickness, I thought I was sick taking the metformin. Let me tell you now that nothing compares to a bad dose of ms. Not only do you puke all over the place ( including your own clothing and expensive shoes) but if you are really lucky you can wet yourself at the same time. Its such a hard decision working out which mess to clean up first.

Nothing much stays down.

When I went to book in at the hospital last wednesday I had lost 12kg. By Friday I had lost another 5kg. Strangely I dont look that different but my tummy is dispersing my pot belly and i have a mini bump.

Have also picked up some nice maternity clothes in preparation for summer. It has been 42 degrees celsius here this week. I feel like an incubator!

Anyhow... I dont mean to ramble on, but it has been so long sine I have spoken with you all and this is all very new and strange to me. I never knew to expect so many trips to the bathroom or that you can grow lots of little blonde hairs on your tummy.

It's all exciting and scary!!!!

Hope your next round of clomid does tha trick Natty... and Coggy, there have been heaps of people on here who got a bfp after first month off clomid so my fingers are crossed for you too!!!

Oh... first day back at school today after two weeks off... only 20 more working weeks till i go on mat leave!!! Cant wait!!!

coggy · 16/10/2006 07:30

I hope you get on okay at work today PCM.

What cycle day are you on?
I also hope that AF stays away for you.....

soh....... for you....so sorry to hear about your poor cat, i know exactly what it is like, not just a cat at all, but one of the family, one of the v. important family. They have been through lots with you, no matter what, they are there through thick and thin. Im so sorry to hear about this hun. I will be thinking of you v. much over next few days darling. If ever you want to email my addy is [email protected], that goes for anyone of course. But soh, i have 3 cats, and i know i would be devastated to lose any of them.
(((((big hugs to you))))))
As for paternity leave, im sorry i know v. little about this, but im sure it is a legal right for the employee, im sure others know more about it, but fingers crossed it all turns out ok for you. Main thing is that you try not to worry about it. Easier said than done but worrying only makes things worse.
will be thinking of you.
Have been feeling really blue today, dont know whats wrong with me, going back to work tomorrow, and i always worry when i have been off. Am sure will be fine once i get into it, but its just the anxiety before hand. Also, i think i may be starting af....it is v. early but i think the operation may have messed my cycle up a bit, so starting v. early this month, unless it is just abnormal bleeding after the procedures. so i guess thats me out for this month, i know it was a long shot, but i was hoping all the same. Stupid arent i....
love and hugs to all x x x
