I like the idea of young innards...when people comment on how you look, you can just say "you should see my womb!!"

STOP withe the reluctant cervix feelers...I know you have tried, and you are just not sure about what you are finding... I was the same

Right, this post has taken so long due to correcting my drunken mis-spellings!!

So you did! I've just looked down the thread....sounds like you are a lady with a plan - I like it! Hope it all comes together for you.
at the folic acid comment. At least when you've had a baby you can blame body woes on pregnancy - me.....it's all chocolate! Not as impressive....

cinnamontam · 01/02/2008 21:39

Hi Cosmogirl - I jumped on board a couple of pages ago but you ladies like to chat so it would definitely have got lost in the chunter

I just wish the folic acid meant my boobs or bum were those of a 25 year old. I can live with an aged looking womb

Cosmogirl · 01/02/2008 21:10

Hi Cinnamontam,

Is this your first time on this thread? If so, welcome, we are a friendly bunch Things move so fast some days that I lose track..
That is an amazing story about the woman who took folic acid her whole life. I am going to start in a couple of weeks when I come off the pill.

cinnamontam · 01/02/2008 21:03

Hello all

NJ - very jealous of your snow . As an Australian I get ridiculously excited about the thought of it and have been known to run around outside in my PJ's after a smattering of snow fell in SW London last year.

BYMY - sorry to hear about your job woes. Hard to TTC and enjoy it when you can't even get basic job security. Buggers!

I remember reading an article about a woman who took folic acid every day of her life (along with other vitamins). A surgeon when doing some surgery on her (can't for the life of me remember what for) said that at the age of 60 she had the womb of a 25 year old and he put it down to her daily intake of folic acid I've been taking it ever since reading that which is now about 4 years. Can't hurt...

at the stigma of 'writing it down'. Not sure what my cervix feels like either, though saw it on a scan when I can a biopsy for a dodgy smear (felt I had to look, the nurse was so insistent!).
Good weekends to all! Mine is a working one unfortuantely - I'm marking A level exam scripts to get some extra dosh (pay Next card off!), but will need lots of reasons to procrastinate, so will no doubt be around!
NL, lol at 'if I don't get a chance to get on' ...we'll see ...

NatalieJane · 01/02/2008 17:43

Me me me

Ahem, what I mean is, yes I have been tracking my CM....

I always do and I had the HRH EWCM last week which is quite reassuring after the MC.

I absolutely have not written it down though....

I don't however do the cervical postion thingymebob, I don't think I have ever touched/found my cervix. I don't do much digging around there myself T'is DH's job

I will probably be about on and off over the weekend, but have possible bathroom to strip and paint, so depends how it goes. Have a nice long weekend Playing and BB, and a nice weekend to everyone else, if I don't get chance to get on. xxxxx

Diege · 01/02/2008 17:12

Mentally noting or WRITING IT DOWN?? I'm not at the writing stage yet, and think tghat would somehow take the preparation onto a whole new level! One thing that's not for me is the cervical positioning checking thingy . All that poking about

BeMyLilBaby · 01/02/2008 17:11

same from me...im off monday thought id take a long weekend, so everyone have a good one, and ill look forward to reading all the posts

Playingthewaitinggame · 01/02/2008 17:00

Oh and Deige I am becoming CM obssessed. I am noting it everyday

Playingthewaitinggame · 01/02/2008 16:59

Right, for once I think I might leave work on time (I actually finish at 5 but can't remember the last time I left before 5.30 and recently much later). Not sure if I will pop online during the weekend, trying not to get too obsessed with MN. If I don't chat again hope everyone has a good weekend and I wont be back in the office (so therefore surfing the net) till Tues as I am attending a trade Fair in at the NEC on Monday. Take care xx.

Diege · 01/02/2008 16:55

Just a random thought as I'm putting the tea on, but has anyone else started paying greater attention to CM this cycle? I think I'll start a diary too of symptoms so I can compare them come May, to see if they really are symptoms of pregnancy and not just post-ov/pre-af! Does that sound scarily control-freakish? I just know what I'm like with symptoms!

BeMyLilBaby · 01/02/2008 16:45

lol NJ your weather sounds so loverly... least your fence is putting up a gd fight!! x

NatalieJane · 01/02/2008 16:28

Well it has stopped snowing, it rained and washed the snow away, day light is starting to go, just switched lights on, the wind is calming down, still the odd gigantic gust every now and then, but it is mainly calm, and my old beloved fence is still up and in one piece, I am pretty happy today And, on top of all of that, it isn't January anymore!!

Oh bloody hell, it is snowing again

Playingthewaitinggame · 01/02/2008 16:24

hmm, I would for about a week. After that I would get bored. OK, so we hardly ever get snow (which I love)but it is still light, blue sky and sun and 16:25. Further north it would be thinking of getting dark and obviously be colder, so maybe I should just stay in the lighter, warmer south and stop moaning about no snow?!

BeMyLilBaby · 01/02/2008 16:21

hello all

youve been chatty this arvo!

still undecided on what to do gonna take it as it comes i guess, but im hoping something new and better will come p just have to sopress these mad urges somedays i like this job, somedays i hate it... ho hum il see what happens

anyone got plans for the weekend? xx

NatalieJane · 01/02/2008 15:44

Exciting? A bit unsettling and a lot of pissing about describes it better!

We could swop houses, you can have the snow, I'll have the blue skies

Playingthewaitinggame · 01/02/2008 15:41

Oh Natalie, I have never been snowed in, how exciting, I would love it. We hardly ever see any snow here and when/if it does snow it almost never settles and certainly will not last more than a day or 2.

NatalieJane · 01/02/2008 15:39

Don't worry I'll tell him no one want's him, I hope you all feel guilty for his little broken heart!!!

Well it is still snowing, poor DH!! Last time we got snowed in, was when we risked life and limb sliding down the mountain to Boots for a HPT! It was negative as well, until about a week after snow went and we got a positive!

Awwww, memories..... Can't wait to do it all again!!

Playingthewaitinggame · 01/02/2008 15:34

and now we have just had rain but at least the sun is coming out again.

Playingthewaitinggame · 01/02/2008 14:38

Its ok Natalie, you can keep your dc!!

How unfair everyone has snow , we have blue sky still, with barely any clouds. I love snow and we never get any.

Diege · 01/02/2008 14:28

Hmm, good point PLAYING...yes, see what you mean if the job isn't right anyway. Think as NJ says that it's a good strategy to apply for new jobs anyway and see what the new opps bring, so that if a decision needs to be made soon, there is more 'evidence' to make a decision if that makes sense!
This weather is crazy!!! Has gone from hail to train to bright sunshine, snow and now it's just gale force winds! Right, off for school run!

Diege · 01/02/2008 14:23

. err no, thanks anyway but I'll leave ds thanks!

Playingthewaitinggame · 01/02/2008 14:17

Ooo pregnanacy magazines. I know I will get addicted to them. I used to read them in my lunch break at a previous job cos we were supposed to keep up to date with all the baby and toddler products/awards etc, so they were always in the lunch room. And when I was planning my wedding I was obssessed with wedding magazines, so I am sure ti will be the same with pg mags!!

NatalieJane · 01/02/2008 14:17

No one want him then?

It is Prima Baby and Pregnancy And I didn't know there were different classes of preg. mags! Although agree they are all the same on the inside, but I buy them anyway! [rolls eyes]

OK, it is snowing, pretty badly, I am considering getting DH home, if it carries on like this for much longer he won't be able to get up our street (And I speak from bitter experience!!). Or I could just leave it, and let him walk!
