Ready, Aim...HANG FIRE!! Waiting to TTC (and some too impatient)

NJ thanks for the image I shouldn't of looked I know.

BB, congrats to your friend

Agree with Playing WRT depression looming over. It is an easy trap to fall into.

DH just rang, he is in a panic in a Morrison's close to where he was working this afternoon, he can't find a Valentines box of chocs for DS1 LOL He said "Will a box of Malteaser's do?" I said "no" he said "shit, right, put the kid's dinner on, I'm gonna be late, I'm not coming home till I've got him a box of chocs" LOL God I love that man Except now I've got to do dinner for the kid's.... maybe Malteaser's would have been OK!!!

DS1 is currently making DS2 a Valentines card... it's all of a sudden got very loved up in here!

Well I spose I'd better get with dinner!

Right ladies, as I am not feeling quite right yet, I am off home almost on time (only 30 mins late, mind you I have spent at least that on MN today). Might be a bit naughty and sign in when I get home, not sure. If not, talk to you tomorrow. Bye.

thanks playing - will go and have a look.

Playing - just been reading back through your posts - you're an inspiration!!!

Hey popcorn, my bumping worked, you have 2 new answers on your thread.

LL- (not calling you lardy). Maybe . If you get like that though you never recover. One of the biggest problems with ME is depression. Because people get so ill they naturally often get depressed, but if you are depressed if is much harder to get well. From a self-preservation point of view, you just can't get like that. You can only be positive. And I must say, spending time in a wheelchair made me see how lucky I was. If there was a step in the way, I could get out of my wheelchair, not everyone can. It honestly makes you see the world in a completely different light.

Playing i still think youre magic, actually i lurve you all deeply

my friend who i worked with had a little boy yesterday so i am much cheered up cant wait for my turn!!

O crap I meant about proposing on the London eye. I really am to slow at this sorry..

Playing you are an inspiration because you came out the other side smiling and fulfilled not everyone can say that. For some the experience could have made them bitter and self obsessed.

Just bumped your post popcorn

WOO HOO - EWCM, positive. Red talons, negative. DH is in for some fun tonight - without that claw marks in his back

Ah Romance I seem to remember what that was.

Hi Popcorn, always welcome here, but again I can't help you having never been pg.

As for an inspiration guys, well thats a little OTT, I wouldn't say that . Much as Natalie has said (CFS/PVFS/CFIDS are all just words for ME, so she really does know) is the same for me. OK my DH and I did grow up together, we are the same age, we learn together. However, being ill, loosing what you consider to be your 'life' and many so called friends, does make you stronger and re-evalutate who your are and what a "sucessful" life means. I am very grateful for all the positive experiences it has given me. I honestly believe without it I would have been a very different person. I was due to take 12 GCSE's (and I already had 2) and wanted to be a lawyer. I was smart, impatient, wanted to be a success in everything I did, wanted a high flying career and was very "me me me". Then when everything I thought mattered to me got "taken" away and I gained everything that I didn't think mattered (meeting my DH, getting closer with my family etc) I realised I never really apprecated life and the people that mattered. I wasn't really living. So when people find out I have only ever had 1 boyfriend (whom I married), they think I haven't lived but my ME helped me see what really mattered in life and I have no regrets I got married young(ish) at all and having a family has always been a top priority.

Pop I think we all agreed it was the false nails that made it an appauling picture!

LOLOLOLOL

heave, gag, heave, gag.>

I know, but he is scared of heights, hopefully he'll be ok.
Speak to you all soon
Bye

See you Kay, have a nice dinner How romantic is your brother?!!!

Here it is... if you dare!

People who have been there before, don't put yourself through it again, it is dire!

You could always get some of the OV test sticks, they might help but I have never used them.

Rightio I'm off, Mum has asked me round for dinner as dh is at work till 11 tonight. I might be on while Im there.
We're all excited as my brother is proposing(sp) tommorow. He has taken her to London and is going to do it on the London Eye, I hope she says yes!!

Thanks NatalieJane

EWCM, egg white cervical mucus. It is literally like raw egg white, clear to white in colour and very stretchy.

I had a link to a picture of it a while back (maybe on the other thread?) will try and search!

Hay popcorn sorry I cant help you and so sorry for your loss too.

EWCM - do you mean cervical mucas? Sorry - new to this. I just went for a wee, wiped and nearly lost my arm it was so slidey!!! (TMI) - hoping thats a good thing.

Pop I have heard of OV pains being described as crapmy on one side, but I don't think it is an indication of either pregnancy or AF. I'm afraid that is what the 2WW is for, waiting and second guessing.
