pinkgirl you must be going crackers with all these bfn's and no af . Hope you get a positive outcome soon!

jb think you are my cycle buddy this month - how you doing? I am going mad waiting, and it feels soooo depressingly like AF on it's way . Have that kind of bloated, heavy feeling and am sooooo ratty! Have eaten a kitkat and 3 digestives in last hour, so much for healthy eating plan!

coolkat was wondering about you this morning and hoping coolkitten still happily growing - fingers crossed things carry on okay for you . I was very very thirsty all the time when I was pregnant, so it might be a good strong pregnancy symptom?

Have just booked my internal at doctors for end of month. So at least when AF arrives I will have some "positive finding out what's going on with my body type activity" to look forward to. They won't be able to refer me for any kind of hospital test until the summer but at least it should hopefully give me more of an idea if there are problems with ovaries/uterus etc.

Although I still shudder at the thought of the whole internal procedure !

And it's my birthday on Saturday which makes me another year older to concieve. Boo

JollyBear · 10/03/2008 16:31

Afternoon all,

GG Hope you had a great weekend!

bucky sorry to hear AF arrived Your mum sounds great, getting her bucky super organised . You'll have a great time by the sounds of it even with your mum in tow! Any news on Molly?

Digi Really glad to hear all is well with you!

ei I'm so sorry AF arrived for you too I was hoping to log on to some BFPs today. Glad you found some nice houses though.

TF I agree with ei re the holiday! It would be a great reason to move it forward and I'm sure MIL and FIL wouldn't mind.

HY OOoooh Chocolate brownies and ice cream sounded yum! Fingers crossed those cramps are due to a settling bean.

mibbes are you back from your hols yet? I've missed you

MOB Hope you have a less busy time with work this week.

coolkat Glad to hear you are well and still keeping an eye on us all!

Sorry AF got you toosoontotell and Tantik.

Hi Ladies, right I am going to attempt to catch up with you all here!!

Disenchanted -sounds good. keep fingers crossed.

Pinkgirl, Sorry to hear about BFN, it must be driving you mad. X

MOB nice to hear from you, you sound well. Hope you don't feel as tired this week time for action!

GG hope the visit to the outlaws went well and you and DH are ok. Thinking of you. X

Bucky - A holiday although not at going with your mum, I am sure once you get in the sunshine you will feel lots better Can't believe your getting another pup, I struggle with the one we have got he is just so hypo! Have a good holiday. Sorry AF came. X

Ei Sorry TEW got you and about the house. I hate the whole house moving thing it is so stressful, the house you looked at looked very nice though and at the price, loads cheaper than around here. I hope you are ok. X

Hatty, it sounds like you are making some positive changes and you sound posiive as well which is good. I hope AF is not on her way. X

Jolly - Bless poor mr Jollybear, shows he is paying attention though

TF - laugh at you spitting your dummy out! thought I had better not forget you! Horrible waiting from AF so you plan holidays. How nice of FIL. X

Well I am ok ticking along, had bad pains at weekend but not bleeding I am feeling really queasey and thirsty all the while, don't know whether its pregnancy or a bug Anyway wishing you all good vibes. Still lurking.

Coolkat X

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 10/03/2008 12:39

good afternoon ladies
sorry to hear of AFs arrival in the TSTT and tantiK households
sorry about the BFN pink i posted for you on the waiting room thread too xx
TF yep AF was 2 whole days early here so hopefully she is getting prepared for a looooong holiday starting this cycle if i do get my BFP this cycle my EDD would be 22nd dec so i would be in for another christmas baby and on the holiday point...i would plan to go on it and happily tempt fate so you would have to make them move it forward and flaunt your holiday-tanned bump to all and sundry i wouldnt risk that myself as if i flaunted my bump (if i ever have one that isnt 90% flab) i would be likely to frighten people on a mass scale due to my savage-looking stretch marks
ahh well i am very of all the tropical holidays planned as we cant have one this year with the expense of moving house sapping all our disposable income
hi to everyone i havent mentioned

hi hy
nope still no af or bfp

hattyyellow · 10/03/2008 11:10

Tantik you poor thing! Dh suggested taking our DD's down to Devon on the train for a wedding we've been invited to in July - I nearly fainted at the thought! Sorry AF here..

Pinklady no news for you as yet?

On day 27 and irritable, bored, ratty. So could well be PMT and that has been my mantra all weekend "I am not pregnant and I will not be surprised when my period arrives as normal sometime in the next few days". Have been having on and off crampy tummy for last 3 days so wish it would just get on with it. Not getting much work done either!

Twinklingfairy you make me smile..I know so well the feeling of trying to plan things but all the time wondering if you are pregnant or not...

Healthy eating plan at serious risk of collapse for the next few days!

pinkgirl30 · 10/03/2008 11:08

hi t sorry about af arriving
i got bfn cd 43 no af

TantiK · 10/03/2008 10:10

Morning all

AF arrived for me yesterday too (just in time for a 5 hour train journey with ds#1 who is 2!!), luckily dh did most of the running around!

Good luck to all waiting for AF or testing soon.

baby dust to all....

pinkgirl30 · 09/03/2008 20:53

evening tst
sorry about af thanks for luck

toosoontotell · 09/03/2008 19:32

Hi.
Just popping on here to let you know AF arrived today. Mixed feelings about it but obviously meant to (not) be. Wishing you all well and fingers crossed that you all get your BFPs .
Love TSTT xx

pinkgirl30 · 09/03/2008 19:28

evening tf
good luck for testing on sat i am testing tom

twinklingfairy · 09/03/2008 18:38

I wondered why people were looking at me oddly!!

Horrible evil witch, was she early ei?

Why does your mother want to put things in your bag bucky Doesn't she have a bag of her own?
Ooh though, sorry I am a maker, curtains made out of fabric brought all the way from the caribbean sounds like a fantastic idea!!

Does she intend to make them for you? If so, get measuring and let her lash at it Oh and remind her she may need an extra bag for all the material

Bugger, that your AF has arrived too.

I want to know, if I am pregnant, Now! FIL has decided that he wants to take us all on a holiday again this year. Yeah!! But it will all depend on my being pregnant or not. Well the timing will. He really wants to take MIL away for her 60th, which is end of August. So, would you believe it, but I don't want a BFP this month!!
No, I do. They will just have to holiday earlier.
No, I don't. You don't look a gift horse in the mouth and then say, um can you change the dates to suit me and not your wife please?

Only CD7, at least 4 days to go!!
I only have posh tests left so will not be wasting them on poopy old BFN's. So will test on Saturday if no AF. Arrgh it is ages away!
Don't hold out much hope though, no symptoms at all. Tingly boobs, but I have had to realise that I get those, post ov, every month

pinkgirl30 · 09/03/2008 11:11

from yesterday have been weeing more often suddenly get desperate and in bed last nite notice that i had a funny taste in my mouth
still have cramps,wind and lots of white cm

pinkgirl30 · 09/03/2008 09:02

morning ladies
sorry to hear about af bucky2008
holiday sounds good

Bucky2008 · 08/03/2008 23:22

Glad everything is OK and you DH is getting over his ordeal.

Ei How exciting about the house . Hope you choose one.

We met DG for lunch and she looked literally radiant. Digibean is definitely being kind to his/her mummy. . The time flies so quickly, she is nearly 12 weeks already!

Me well, back at CD2, shortest cycle ever just over and Dolly Parton (.)(.)s have departed...shame as I have to break out the summer gear for a week as of Thursday. I could have gone for 'voluptuous' rather than the 'getting chubby' look I will no doubt end up with in my bikini..... MOB/JB I am having a compulsory vacation with my parents! My grandmother lives in the Caribbean and is super old. My mother and father visit her each year (and I always have an excuse not to go) however this year they have insisted I HAVE to visit before its too late! I am sure they are right, but my mother is driving me potty already. She has already 1. Insisted I pack and weigh my case and tell her how much she can put in my suitcase, 2. Tell her exactly what time I am leaving "..."and Bucky you must be there at least 3.5 hours before the flight..." (3 hours is she MAD????) and I am not going until THURSDAY!!!, 3. Measure all my windows as she insists I must buy fabric to make myself new curtains whilst I am out there...I could go on. My mother is a sweetie and of course I love her to death but she is driving me mental and I haven't even left to go on holiday yet!!! Bet your glad you asked now!! Its not all bad, I have friends and cousins there so there will be some G&T drinking, beaches and yacht rides out to gorgeous islands...But if you start to feel jealous...just remmeber my mother will never be far away

EIiii You missed me out and sulking now.

Ooh, that is soo good that you liked the houses. Must feel better to feel you have options.

We have backed away from the whole house thing for the moment, to make him feel that no-one wants it. So that he drops his price.
A scary game, we could miss out entirely, but I don't think we will. And if we do, well hey, we have a lovely house right now really. Just not the perfect house.

But, much like TTC, what will be will be and when it chooses it, not me. Damn why can't I control fate as well as everything else!?
Oops did I say that out loud

Glad your DoldH is ok MOB
And the girls are right, maybe if you don't care this month, then sods law will dictate that you get your BFP.
I know I will get mine next month, cos I really don't want a christmas baby!!
Ok, I would love a baby any time, any place (who said that earlier?) but if I have a choice it would not be christmas, for the childs sake.

PIL up this weekend and I am being incredibly rude being on here at all.
I will not list my hellos, cos I would defo miss someone out. Then they would sulk, like me
