emmsy's onwards and upwards part 2, more good new please!

Just remembered I have tickets to a music festival aswell !

What do you reckon on being 20 weeks pg and camping at a festival for 4 nights

I'm following 4ever's lead and only lurking/posting during my lunch break.

Gracie - hats off to youy my girl . I do always think its the bd you do before you OV that hits the mark . Fingers crossed on the 2ww...

barbie - festival sounds amazing, I love Kings of Leon and wearing wellies . Really hoping your cycle is getting into synch.

Kate - glad you had a ball on your hen night! Are you a May bride?

baking queen - congrats on finishing your dissertation - phew!

Jools - I'm not suffering from insomnia but am waking early and feeling VERY awake which is so not like me. DH is amazed as he can actually hold a morning conversation with me in bed rather than getting grunts . Glad to hear your slowing things down at the gym..

Its glorious up here, almost wish we could take our desks outside like you used to do at school .

morning girls .hope everyone is well . im on a cleaning day and im bored already .

gracie work is mean im not there friend as no one would swap lol

come on girls when is my virtal hen night going to be . !!!!!

Morning all!!

Kate you look fabulous on your hen do!! Its a shame no one would swap my shift so I could come with you, but then who in their right mind would volunteer to do an extra saturday night shift in charge of an A&E!

Neeko I hope work is going well. littlebellsmum is right, you've also made our lives much better by being on this thread so don't go away!

BakingQueen well done for finishing your dissertation! You look at peoples profiles by clicking on the yellow thing between the red exclamation mark and the envelope next to each post on the thread. If they have photos they'll be a link from their profile. You should put a pic on your profile too! If you're worried about the world finding out who you are you can list us lot as your "mumsnet mates" and set your photos to be viewed by mates only.

Barbie well done for getting that job!!

4ever I hope the next 2 weeks fly by so you can start your treatment.

Waves to everyone else!

Well its CD 17 for me today, but didn't get a positive ovulation test till yesterday and no signs I've ovulated yet. Night shifts tend to throw things a little, especially as I'm not sure what time of day to do the OPK tests, the positive came at 8am yesterday morning after a night shift. Somehow we managed to BD on day 14, 15, and 16 despite being on nights and trying to be asleep!!! Well done Gracie! Poor DH has gone back to work now for a rest and won't be back for a week. So I'm now joining those on the 2 week wait and hoping my BD'ing before ovulation will do the trick.

Hello 4ever, barbie and Jools, think i just x-posted.
Jools - sorry to hear about the insomnia, it's such a pain, but also def a good pg symptom I think
x

Morning all,
Congrats on the new job Barbie! Jools hope you're feeling ok and managing to take it fairly easy.
Neeko, MLS, Mermaid, ccpink*, anyone else on the 2ww I've missed... I have a confession to make - when my AF arrived at the start of the month I recklessly purchased some cheap HPTs online. They detect quite a low amount of hcg so it is apparently possible to get a positive from 6dpo...! or so it says . And also they cost £2.99 for 15, which is why i got them because I was with myself for literally peeing away (on) 25 quid last month! When they arrived I realised they are just the strip that goes inside the plastic casing on a normal test, so that might explain why they are so cheap. Either that or they are rubbish of course! I have one proper test left which I am saving for if AF is late. But since I am 6dpo today (I think) i took one of my cheapies this morning - and it is a BFN. So am planning on doing another cheapie on Weds and seeing if it changes. I think I'd rather keep getting BFNs than keep imagining symptoms and then be extra disappointed when AF gets here. Am I being daft?
Anyway, I am very impressed with everyone else's 2ww resolve!
Kate really pleased to hear you had a cracking hen do!
Bakingqueen welldone on the 3000 words and goodluck with the bd'ing!

Morning all !

4Ever and Neeko - I know what you mean about too much MNetting . Have promised myself to get down to work properly by 9.30 and stay away till lunchtime, but am not sure if I will manage it !!

Barbie - I don't know how you cope with that sort of heat !

Had a really bad night last night - awake from 2am and WIDE awake too - this type of insomnia is my major PG symptom - had it last time aswell ..

Dinner was well received last night but it seemed tasteless to me I wonder if hormones have affected my taste buds ? Gonna be good tonight - I normally do Body Combat then Body Balance at the gym, but have decided to just do the Balance class (a bit of tai chi, yoga, pilates and some meditation at the end - very relaxing )

Loving the thought of the cotton wool wrap dress

Have a good day everyone

...........and massive love to anyone I havent mentioned! Sorry!

Right, definately WORKING!

Bakingqueen Hope the BDing went well. That's exactly what happened to me and I'm now on 2ww so fingers crossed I'm just back at work today after hols, went BACK about 1 1/2 weeks after MC.
Big waves to everyone else and for the record I'm not sure I'm deserving of little pants after raiding DD's Easter egg supply!

Quick post - Barbie, great news on job and Neeko - good luck at work tomorow. You have also made our lives much better too, so don't go far away
Bakingqueen - dissertation can wait!!

evening ladies just a quick post.
Barbie- congrats on the new job very exciting. Loving the new list although my pants not feeling that small with all the chocolate eaten over easter!
mls- you can wait a few more days to test even if end up spring cleaning your whole house to distract yourself
kate- glad you had a great time on your hen night although am i being dim but where are the pictures excited to see them but don't know how sorry
Jools- your tea sounds fab hope you enjoyed it
Blue- hello to you hope your good today
Neeko- good luck with your first day back had mine a few weeks back and it was fine just take your time and look after yourself. Will be thinking of you tomorrow x

Well 3,000 words of dissertation done trying not to focus of how much sense it makes! Nearly there anyway. Planned to finish it tonight but noticed some cm this afternoon did an opk that has come back as positive so forget dissertation some bd to be done when dh gets home . Feeling ridiculously excited don't know why was expecting first af after mc today.
Hi to eveeryone I have not mentioned xxxxxxx

Thanks Miss, maybe I'll just sneakily keep one behind though & hide it in my maths book so that you can't find it!

it was a great night i must admit was very funny xxxx

I'll put a photo on after a BFP!
I'm definitely going to wait as I'm pretty sure it'll be negative and I don't want that confirmed as it'll take me back to the worrying about AF! Anyway, I'm off to bed now and I'm taking all your hpts. If you're good I'll give them back on thursday night.

Kate just seen your pics, looks like you had a great hen night.

Neeko it's your turn to add a photo!

Thanks Kate. CCpink deffo come back & let us know your result. I wonder if you will last until Saturday... I wonder if I will last until Friday. I wouldn't put any money on it that's for sure!

Neeko 10 hpt's in a month - are you trying to beat me??! I did loads too actually the month after mc, both hpt's & opk's. Thank heavens for cheap tests! I bet you will have done a test by Wednesday!

good luck ccpink I'm going to try to wait til sat too.

I've used 10 hpts in a month and got a bfn after mc with the 4th or 5th one. They do shout to you though. Almost makes me glad I'm going back to work to get way. (Lie, Lie, Lie)

funny mls - I'm going to try and resist til Saturday at least - I think I'LL COME BACK AT THE END OF THE WEEK AND SEE IF YOU GOT YOUR GOLDEN TICKET!!![GRIN]

thanks Neeko!
