In my confusion, Bushy Al Jazeera seemed like the least sex related thing to watch. I cannot even follow my own logic there!

greatbigbushybeard · 27/12/2014 19:51

Sorry lumen x x

wild lol at your wild antics at parents. Can I ask why are you watching Al Jazeera?

happylass · 27/12/2014 19:46

WineWine For you Lumen - I think you sort if knew while you hoped against hope?

Horribly embarrassed that DH and I have just done the dirty deed at my DPs. Now absolutely starving and watching Al Jazeera news channel trying to look innocent. Shock We are in our 40s and married but still must pretend to only ever hold hands. Blush

Aww so sorry Lumen Wine for you tonight lady.

Nolly happy birthday Grin hope you are enjoying your day! The niece thing is only really annoying as for the last 6 mths it's been EVERY time I've seen her!

Sorry berries but just arrived home and the witch has confirmed it's a bfn, just a hangover of the IVF drugs Bring on the booze.

A belated Merry Christmas Berries, and congrats on the two more BFPs for the cluster-diff, great to have some Christmas cheer.

I'm just back from my inlaws out in the sticks and pleased to be home after 3 nights on little pull out bed. Was a bit down on Christmas morning, feeling sad that we may never have our own family Christmas routine, and that we'll always end up tagging along as part of somebody else's. Our little nephew enjoyed himself though and got loads of presents, which was nice. Now it's rinse and repeat with my family tomorrow, although adults only for this one.

Gil good luck for Monday, hopefully the last time you'll need to go through this.

Lumen fingers crossed for you tomorrow.

Pipbin · 27/12/2014 15:15

Arrrgh.
I do know what you mean Lumen. I was so sure my first scan would end badly that I treasured the last few hours before it as I thought that would be it.

nolly3 · 27/12/2014 15:15

Can understand that lumen. FX so tightly!

Thanks for the wise words bushy,beaky. your DH sounds so sweet, bushy. I think mr nol is the same - secretly anxious but not wanting to talk about it very much.

I've never minded the kids, beaky - They seem much less judgy than other people, so you can actually say well not eveyrone has babies easily etc. Was it OK?

thanks for teh chopper congrats and invite rp and feather!

lumen · 27/12/2014 15:03

Stuck on M25 on way home. Will test in morning with fmu Happy to live in my not knowing bubble for a few more hours Wink

We're home been at my mum's since Xmas eve and I'm glad to be home! I'll be having a rest tomorrow! I've done everything. for three days. I don't mind my mum so much or mr B but my brother is the laziest arse in the universe. Didn't even take his x plate off the table.... Grrrrr

Jelliebabe2 · 26/12/2014 22:47

Hey berries! I'm back! Couldn't post at mums my WiFi isn't man enough for the job!

Nolly - blimmin hurrah! Thus is an epoic clusterdiff, how many are we up to now?

HB, told off for speaking Italian? Are you sure you said merry Xmas and not a swear?!?!?!? Xmas ShockXmas Grin

Beaky! Happy birthday chickie!

Tiger be strong at least your in the sun

Lumen - eeeeeeep! Can't wait till tomorrow! Sounds positive Xmas Grin

Pipbin · 26/12/2014 22:41

Lumen fingers crossed. When can you test?

Pipbin · 26/12/2014 22:40

Bushy have you got a date through for your scan yet. How far are you? I'm 10 weeks exactly. Only had my booking in on Monday so I'm not sure how quickly they will process it.

beakybeak · 26/12/2014 22:23

Yes Nolly as Bushy says, step away from Dr Google! Very difficult, I know. Will you be able to get an early scan or owt? I keep getting asked by my 9yr old niece if I'm going to have a baby and she follows the questions up with many more questions Xmas Sad also happy birthday for tomorrow! Ill be travelling but no doubt will be checking in anyway!

Bushy not long til your 12 week scan then, all fx for you, lovely.

HB boo to the stingy injections, I'm hoping they aren't too bad as I was very nervous with the gonal-f! How long til your first scan?

Lumen all fingers crossed for a bffp! I really hope it's your time too.

Smidge how long til you travel back? Is Mr S ok now?

Gil not long til your op, how are you feeling?

We are away to visit oh's family for a few days tomorrow, looking forward to a break at least. I've felt quite sad today and do not know why Confused It's taken me ages to catch myself on!

greatbigbushybeard · 26/12/2014 21:50

nolly please don't google early miscarriage symptoms, it will do you no good whatsoever. Try & relax ( I know it is very hard to do!! At present we are veering between excitement and cynicism to protect ourselves. Dh's MIL was asking about my parents on Xmas day saying we should get together. Dh just said to me how about 2nd w/e of January ( after our 12 wk scan) I replied if it's good news, and he said that's all he's been thinking about & why he keeps asking me have I got any symptoms.

We watched cool runnings earlier in our jamas- love it!!

I've got a good feeling about lumen too!

HampshireBlues · 26/12/2014 21:27

Evening all.....back home and watching trash tv which feels surprisingly good! Not sure why the Italian didn't go down well and no, I don't speak much but gave it a good shot.....perhaps it was the wrong thing to say?

Down regging is going ok, although the injections are stinging a little more than before. At least I get to stop taking the pill tomorrow!
