Hi everyone

Ei congrats on your anniversary! Hope you and your DH had a great time celebrating It's amazing how quickly time passes isn't it?

Mibbes, MTW & Abbey so good to hear from graduates! Am glad that you're all doing well xx

PnM any more symptoms to report young lady?? I've also got a very good feeling that this thread is going to get lucky this month with some BFPs...fingers crossed you're our first one!

Bucky I know what you mean about missing the old life at times...or not missing it but feeling nostalgic for it. I was also a bit of a carouser, lots of glam parties and adventures. I pop back into that world every now and then, to see friends, but it's so different when you're ttc (mainly because I don't drink as much as I used to - amazing how somethings are only fun after a few glasses of vino lol). I'm very happy with my life now though, as even the decision to try to make a new life with my DH is a lot more interesting and fun than most of the adventures I had then! Hopefully we'll get our baby before too long, though I somehow think the sleepless nights etc will make me even more nostalgic

GG sounds like your DH has quite the travel kit! I'm glad you've given it a good shot, got to be in it to win it as I'm also feeling positive for you this month [positive vibes emoticon]

And hello to our holiday makers MOB SH & Lou - hope you're all having good times...and the weather's better than the rain here!

I've had a busy few days - actually went back up to London on Saturday for a friend's birthday - dinner at the utter lovely Smiths of Smithfield (highly recommended, even the veggies like it ) and stayed with one of our best friends. I'm off to Cork after work - my sister's getting married on Thursday and am so so so so excited . She's the baby of the family, so this is the last family wedding. As you can imagine, it's not going to be a staid affair

I think I ovulated yesterday, though my temp didn't rise as much this morning as some months...hope it was yesterday as otherwise all our BD-ing will have been a bit early (my DH isn't coming to Ireland until tomorrow evening, so not like I can cram in anymore at this stage!). Still, feeling positive and pretty relaxed - the wedding will keep my mind off things until next week anyway .

Best get back to work now though!!

xx ei xx

Hello old cycle buddy Abbeymeg Congratulations on a healthy scan you can relax now, lovely to hear all is well.

Hello! I have been hovering about and not posting much as I was biting my nails, waiting for the 20wk scan as I have been a bit haunted by doctor telling me that any damage I might have done to baby would show up then.

Anyway, I went today and it's fine. The ultrasound lady was really quiet, which was quite frustrating as I was worried. However, she concluded that all is well. And "it looks like a boy". So, I'm assuming this means it stands a good chance of being a boy or a masculine girl .

It's a fidget - possible something to do with my coca-cola fixation !

I bring bags of fertile baby dust for you all ***

hello all,

I am around this week but in the middle of a manci day, so won't be able to post much

Hurrah for symptoms picknmix. Like Bucky said, i have a good feeling this month that one of us is going to be lucky.

Bucky - know exactly what you mean about giving up being good. I used to be a total party animal and I miss it. I wouldn;t mind on elittle bit, if I had a baby, but putting your old life on hold for a new life that just isn't happening (for me, at least) is just depressing. So funny about Molly and the dog flap.

MOB - I am probably too late, but have a lovely holiday

Ei - no I wasn't way this weekend. On eof the few eekends in London. I am away next weekend (Edinburgh) and the weekend after (Lake District), so the travels continue. And I don't even work in the travel industry or have Judith Chalmers's tan!

MIbbes - wow, you hatty and abbey all on one thread. We did have a splendid run on BFP's for a while. We'll slowly whittle us all away until we are all on the "Due in NOv/march/June" threads

Must dash and do some work, so have a lovely day everyone. I'll look in later on you all. I am CD18 today and DH is off in the States for a week (with his Man Vits, suppply of selenium enhancing brazil nuts and strict instructions to eat lots of fresh fruit and veg ), so that's me out for this month. We gave it a pretty good shot actually, so here's hoping. Let the symptom spotting begin (again!) .

hello to caitni and the others too

GGx

Thanks for all your hello's.

Bucky I've just been reading all the lunch, drink, pub stories hankering after my free and easy days then I read your comment about missing out on things. Sometimes I think what ever I have I'm never bloody satisfied! I'm truly happy but even a song from 1998 can put a smile on my face as to those carefree days
And poor Finn getting stuck in the flap he must get really frustrated

PnM You got us mixed up but never mind we will definately count that as your first symptom

PnM that is definitely a symptom, sounds like baby-brain to me !!

hi ladies,
Been manic this week, and havent kept up. Sorry. have posted the following in another thread but wanted to keep in touch with the very supportive people on this one too.
DH's results came back a lot more positively this time but we are under strict instructions from GP as to when to BD. Off on hols tomorrow,and back to "normal" TTC next cycle. hope you lovely people have a good couple of weeks, hope there are lots of BFPs' in the meantime.

Lou xxxx

Gah! Meant to write also....

....a big proper (and separate ) HELLO to MTW - really lovely to hear from you and your healthy 29 week pregnant belly

and another big proper (and separate) HELLO to Mibbes and your 22 week Miblet !!

Crikey - I really should check what I've written before posting - I think I managed to mix up Mibbes and MTW all in one sentence - very sorry to give you a fright

Also, meant TwilightSurfer is due this month, not Twinklingfairy - was thinking whilst typing, 'I wonder how TF is doing and got my TF's and my TSs confused....!!!!!!

I think I may have found me my first 'symptom' - can I claim pregnancy brain at 6dpo!???!

hi ladies
hope you are all doing well
PnM twinklingfairy isnt due til november i checked after you posted as i was sure it was only recent that she had all theb molar preg troubles. it says on the nov 08 antenatal that shes due 26th nov
i cant believe MTW and mibbesy are so far along in their pregs wow how time flies when you sit on your arse on MN
hope everyone has a nice night and a lovely weekend
MOB have a great holiday
GG youre not going away this weekend are you? either way get some BDing in as you have gotta BD in it to win it
xx ei xx

Hi PnM, so glad you are feeling positive this month - everything crossed for you, will be watching with interest, any symptoms to report ?
Am only 22 weeks - you gave me fright there I had to double check ! I think it is MTW who is 29 weeks.
I'll give abbymeg and Hatty a shout for you as they're on same AN thread as me

Evening all

Sorry I've been a bit slack in posting...busy busy week.

GG I'm so pleased to hear that your appt went ok. Such positive news that your DH's swimmers aren't quite the geriatric zimmer needing sperms you previously thought - and if your DH keeps up the impressive attitude they can only get even better. 6 months does seem like such a long time for you to wait - fingers crossed its just an estimate and the appt comes through a lot quicker.

How are you feeling now Bucky? Your DH sounds like a secret superman what with his brilliant behind the scenes efforts. Really hope that they pay off. Agree with the others that I think its a good thing Mr Needles has nothing specific to work on - means you're streets ahead in terms of sorting out probs and then dealing with the small stuff - you're already at the small stuff stage! I do know what you mean about wanting something to be wrong so that it can be fixed though (its a kinda weird way to think about it but I felt the same after my blood test results as I feel that its just plain old bad luck that there's no baby just yet).

Mob I'm sorry to hear period arrived and that you're now on your enforced break . I really wish I had a magic wand for you but, as others have said, its really nice to hear you're gonna hang around with us though. Wouldn't be the same without you. Hope you have a fab week away (are you going somewhere lovely?).

How are you Caitni? Are you heading down to watch the Pride parade this weekend? I have a few friends who will be partaking - sounds like a fab day out, such flamboyant costumes!!

Congratulations Ei!! Really fab news for you! Can you pass some of that good job hunting luck over this way? I've got an interview in a few weeks so fingers crossed!!

Hope you have a lovely time away SH - agree with the others, you are perfectly justified in visiting your gp and I hope he/she are able to give you some advice and reasurance.

Really lovely to hear from you JB and that Jollycub is behaving him/herself at the moment!

Also lovely to hear from you Mibbes!! Can't believe you're already 29 weeks ! Am so pleased all is well with you and Miblet

Would also love to hear from CBCB/Hatty and Abbymeg - if you're lurking, hope is going ok!

I noticed the other day that Twinklingfairy is due this month (I think) - I'm sure it wasn't that long ago she was posting on here??

I'm all ok here - am about 6dpo (according to FF) and we gave it a good 'crack' this month - sex every other day for 2 weeks (does anyone else find it a bit 'hard going'?! ). Can't help but feel positive this month but wont hold my breath... Dh is now on the cancellation list for the SA. He's going to put in a formal complaint though - he's as cross about it as I am. Bloody postcode lottery

Sorry ladies, haven't had time to catch up properly, and we are off on holiday early tomorrow morning! (only for a week)

So, love to you all, and so sorry not to "speak" to you all individually.

I'll try and check for any news on my mobile!! (although it's not always easy)

Have a good week everyone!

AAh thanks GG you are a sweetie - I like to try and keep up with you all and am constantly throwing quiet bucketfuls of babydust over you all . Let's hope your wicked way pays off and your DH's 'swimmers with walking sticks (purely for balance as they're actually pretty mobile)' do the job this month. I know it probably feels unlikely but hey you've got to be in it to win it and there are a lot of MNers with their fingers tightly crossed for you.
Am indeed having a pretty easy PG so far - so far so good

hello lovely ladies!

I went out for lunch and had too many vinos , but it was really good fun. I met my best friend for lunch and I hadn't seen her in months and months, it was lovely and the time flew past.

07MTW and mibbes - I am so excited for you both and that Baby MTW and The Miblet is getting bigger by the day . Hope you are having a dream pregancies and that you'll pop in here when little MTW and Miblet are born and tell us names and everything abou the birth, 'cause we'll be cyber aunties

Ei - that is fantastic new about your new job! I'm so pleased for you. Big congratulations. Where are you working and is it your dream job? Also, what is the maternity cover like?!

hello everyone else. i don't broadband at home at the moment and using my crappy moble to log on here is veeeerrrry tedious for posting, so will probably not post again until Monday at this rate. Is anyone testing this weekend? Any AF's due? I pounced on DH again this morning and had my wicked way with him . Hell, the TTC physical part is fun, even if nothing else about it is! CD16 oday for me and think I may have OV-ed today, so gave it another good shot. The 2WW begins (AGAIN!)

have a lovely sunny weekend everyone and hello to scary MOB Bucky caitni picknmix and everone else.

GGx

I haven't posted for a while but I've been keeping up with all your goings on.

Bucky How lovely of your DP to be trying so hard yet so discretely (SP?) I'm assuming Mr Needles is accupuncture, I've heard that is great for fertility, I'm still having reflexology I don't know if it helped me get PG but I feel reassued by it and I hope what ever it is works for you. And on the dog flap situation I used a couple of pegs either side to hold the flap open whilst my cats got used to actually going thru the hole, might help?

GG Marathon is the right word for you. I'm so pleased you felt comfortable with the doctor as that can make such a difference. I hope you fall PG naturally before the new year

Ei I'm glad you've been refered for MC's to be looked into and I hope you get a sticky one very soon. Many congratulations on the job front

MOB I do hope the next few months don't drag and an unexpected BFP shows up

PnM Well done on the fund raising

Hello to everyone I've missed personally lots of good vibes to you all

I'm very big now 29 wks but measuring two weeks ahead dd was 9lb 2oz and midwife tells me I'm not destined to have a small baby, ouch! All is well though and for that I'm truly grateful. I just can't wait to hear all my TTC buddies on this thread are having their much wanted babies - good luck to you all. x

just a quick one to say GG im glad your appointment went well i hope you get a speedy appointment for ICSI or even better you get a BFP before you need to appointment
for all who are interested aswell i got my job i start on 11th august i cant wait im over the moon
i hope evryone has a lovely n ight
xx ei xx

Hello ladies - just a quicky to say glad all went well with appts GG and Bucky despite marathon waiting time - fingers crossed they are average/worst case and things get moving soon And esp god news that ttc naturally may not be such a long shot for the swimmers with zimmers - keep up the symptom spotting ladies

All going well with miblet - 22 weeks now ! 20 week scan went well, getting quite a bump now !

Hello to all the other lovely symptom spotting ladies in here
