Emmsy's onwards and upwards part six - sticky icky babydust BFP central!!!

Thanks guys. Blue yes it was a wee bit nippy! Hope you & the boys enjoyed the film.

Moon it stung a bit but didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would, I took 2 co-drydamol & 2 nurofen before which I think helped. Barbie has a star on her wrist for her little angel which is very sweet.

4ever are you out there? I've been thinking of you lots all weekend.

Cupcake of course you will get a bfp with your new relaxed attitude! I really wouldn't worry about bd'ing every day.... repeat this mantra 'it's timing not frequency'!

Annie did we know you were going on your hols? I don't think we did, black mark to you for not checking out with mn! Glad you enjoyed yourself & looking forward to seeing your pics on Facebook.

Vjay & Jools thanks for your advice re ov, I did another opk today & I think the line was a tad darker than yesterday but I could quite have imagined it.

Neeko have you managed to get all your post-holiday washing done?

Right I'm off to bed now, I'm hoping dd doesn't wake up at her new found getting-up time of 05.10 & instead I get a bit of extra sleep like this morning.

I'm feeling excited for all the ladies who are testing tomorrow. Go on girls, you can do it!

Hello girls - sorry for being rubbish and not posting!

I was at a festival at the weekend - which was lovely. It took my mind off evil AF - who arrived on Thursday evening.. so am now CD 4...

Was bit of a misery on Friday - but am quite cheery now, so think you lot had a lucky escape!

Will catch up tomorrow, but big wave to you all.

neeko I'll text you my number cos I think I have yours!

Blue you're so right that these things come in threes! It was true with gracie, barbie and curly....so hope that happens this week

And that's so lovely you prayed for us all Have been doing a bit of that myself lately! I think we all need it.

Forgot to say earlier, gracie hope you had a lush time away and managed to forget all about everything as you screamed at Duran Duran

MLS - it's wicked , really lovely and poignant - bet it nipped a bit - yowser! Love your 40th b'day photo too, you look very swish although your champagne glass looks a little empty

Welcome back Neeko - we missed you toots! Conjouring up mega BFP vibes for tomorrow for you, Iggy and Jools. These things come in three's....

Hey Buddha - loving the name . Have you had any flutterings yet? I'm getting them big time, alot more than with DS..

Barbie - is the AC on yet or have you partially melted? Welcome back again xx

cupcake - I can soo picture you cutting up the dancefloor . Glad you had a hoot.

Big week coming up with potential BFPs and scans for Curly, Barbie, Gracie and Annie. I went to church this morning (not been for a few weeks) and prayed for us all especially 4ever and all the medium panters and ttcers...

Off to watch Toy Story 2 with DH and DS - his once a week 'staying up late' treat (DS's not DH's ).

MLS that is gorgeous! Love it you are brave!

mls its lovely i too have been thinking about getting some tattoos in memory of my lost angels, but wasn't sure what to get or where to have them. i already have a rose on the back of my shoulder so i was thinking on my wrist or foot. does it hurt on your foot?

mls Fantastic, well done you Love the family photo too x
Barbie Hello pg lady, how are you?

mls love it!!!

Just a quickie for now, if anyone wants to see the radical thing I did today then check out my pics & go to the second one. Also added a photo of dh, dd & I at my 40th birthday party a couple of weeks ago.

Will be back in a bit.

Cupcake Sounds like a fab wedding, glad you had a good time, well apart from the pg women of course, they bloody well pop all over the place! Grrr
Curly I forgot to say to you I'm so sorry about the scan fiasco Hope it didn't spoil your weekend although I'm sure it's all you've thought about!
Jools & Neeko and anyone else testing tomorrow will be excitedly waiting to see in the morning
Kate You sound tired hun, DH will owe you big time after all the running around you are having to do, hopefully he will pamper you when he's better

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend and managed to avoid the rain

Hi all Been away for a wedding....absolutely beautiful day and so lovely to catch up with old Uni friends- we were the last ones on that dancefloor! There were literally about 7 heavily pregnant ladies there though, and some absolutely tiny newborn twin girls which made me a bit . They had an ice crem van come to the wedding which was very cool. I almost went for a mini milk in honour of you girls but these were free ice creams! I had to have a magnum

Hi Curly I'm glad you're bouncing back from the scan nonsense and also v glad you didn't have to go back to the place you found out about the last mc will be keeping everything crossed that next week is good news week for you, Barbie and Gracie

Hi annie didn't realise you were going away! Glad you had such a nice relaxing time

Hi moon so glad you had a lighter af this time round, makes it just that little bit easier I really hope the meltdowns get fewer over the next few weeks and you can start to look to the future again.

Welcome back Neeko! V glad af has kept away so far, and am also just a little excited for you testing (and hopefully jools and iggy too!) JumpingJuly has sort of begun but we're certainly not managing every day like the bd goddess iggy To be honest, the whole job situation is totally taking my mind off ttc which is good as I was getting so stressed by it and at the moment I don't mind if it takes a couple more months while I settle into a 'new normal' (which of course means I'll get the BFP this month!! )

hiya annie glad you had a nice relaxing hol xx

Afternoon all, im back. Got back late last night from my hols, all tanned and relaxed. Majorca was lovely, very hot though! Getting up to 40C during the day and 30C on a night, thank goodness we had air con.
Im in the middle of washing, drying and ironing, so will be back later for proper catch up. Have missed you all X

MLS - have just remembered that I read quite emphatic advice on a miscarriage advice site that says OPK's are almost useless in the first cycle after mc and can't be relied on at all whilst hormones are still settling down, so I think you'll be OK

Hiya, it's quiet in here today.

mls I don't think you've missed your egg yet, it take approx 6 weeks for af to return after mc, and it's not been that long for you yet, so I think ov will happen soon.

neeko so glad you're back, and I'm very excited for you testing tomorrow

jools it's not over till TEW arrives, i do hope you get a BFP xxx

Mrskate I think you need to take some you time, whether it's a nice long hot bath, or an early night/morning with a good book, you'll feel loads better, and a happy mrskate means a happy dh and then lots of bding and a BFP...now there's a plan

Right I'm off to relax in our greenhouse with a watering can of fresh orange juice and a good book...

Hi all

I too went to a bbq yesterday, got a bit sozzled & went to bed at 9pm! Also had a lovely lay-in as dd didn't wake until 6.30... bliss!

Neeko welcome home, & by home I mean mn!

MrsKate how is dh feeling now? Also how are you feeling? You must be knackered having to do work, then come home & do your job all over again. Talk about groundhog day.

Jools still excited about you for this month.

Curly keep puking!

Sophable did af come?

I think I missed my egg this month . Temp still high & neg on my opk yesterday. I'll keep going with them for a few days & see what happens. I just thought there would be more than 2 days between having a pos hpt & then ovulating.

Right I'm off to do something radical now....

hi all
hi neeko glad you are back

im sorry not been on much been looking after a poorly dh . good job im a nusre and have pateince.

ive been working and on nights again tonight

Morning Welcome back Neekothelaidback - you have been missed

Have only just got up - went to a BBQ in the rain last night and had some amazingly yummy food - scallops, salmon, lovely steak etc, followed by cheese grilled on the BBQ with fresh bread to dip in it, then strawberries and pineapple - soaked in port overnight and, you've guessed it - bbq'ed !!

Sambuca shots were flowing, but I declined and stuck to two small glasses of wine, just in case Went on to our local pub with the best pub band I have EVER heard ! A great night, but long. I literally spent the last 2 hours enjoying the music but fighting my eyelids that were insisting on closing, so just turned over at 7am and had another couple of hours ...

AF hasn't arrived yet and I don't feel pg, but don't have the feeling that AF is imminent either - no pmt. Will join what looks like a testathon in the morning if the witch is still absent. Curly - keep up the signing - it seems to be working so far

Thought I'd get back in the groove and update the list. Seems like we have some testing times coming up

Morning all.
Where are you all today? Has the chat slacked off while I've been away?

Curly How's the sanity levels? My hand's still here for holding if you need it. Are you still suffereing from the old MS? How's the ( . ) ( . ) doing?

Barbie Lovely to have you back. How are the new hours going? When do you next have a scan to see your little bean?

Gracie are you still smiling? When I think of you I now have a mental image of a waving smiley bean! Is your middle of the night tummy pain away?

MLS Hello you. I hope your temp is back down and you are getting into the game plan again. Thanks for all the updates during my hols. It kept me sane

Smileycupcake How are you coping now? Is Has jumpingjuly begun yet? Sending you a belated hairstroke for your huge disappointment and hope this is your month.

Mrskate What a time you've had! Are you ok? Have you considered temping since opks aren't working for you? I think temping's ok with shiftwork as long as you take it after your main sleep.

Vjay can't believe you're nearly there! I can't wait to see pics of your beautiful boy. Now stop procrastinating and get that back packed!

Sabs You're next! How's your bump doing?

Joolswhohasallthesymptoms How are you coping? Have you driven youself completely insane yet?

Mermaid Hello oh wise one! How are you doing? What's growing in the greenhouse today?

Iggy are you still in for this month? Hope you're ok.

4ever You amaze me. I was crying reading your posts about what you've been through. I hope you tested to early and woke up to a BFP today. i know you'll make an amazing mum when it happens. Sending you a belated but heartfelt hug.

hoping Your posts are lovely. I'm sure your day will come soon too. I can't wait so see a pic of the first Emssy hat.

Blue Lol at not being able to see your fango Sounds like you're well on your way now. So pleased for you.

Moon Sorry to hear that you've been so up and down. have you and your DH discussed when you'll start trying again? Surely some sneaky practice couldn't hurt?

Ok. I know I'll have missed people so sorry and I'll catch up with you later

I'm proud of myself for not giving in and testing this morning. I'm expecting a temp drop tomorrow but if it doesn't happen then I'll test. Right now I'm feeling quite calm and ok about not being in control which isn't like me at all

Have a lovely Sunday everyone and spend some time doing domething you like (I'll be doing the holiday washing and ironong )

Phew! that took ages! Can't remember all your news so not even going to try to post individually. Should have used Annie's trick of taking notes but too lazy tired to read it all again.
There's been a lot of tears in the past week. Clearly you have all forgotten my late-Gran's advice to pee! Remember the more you pee, the less you cry! Sending you all a big hug anyway.
Loving the fact that we're all in Mermaid's greenhouse now and that Barbie's air con has helped her get the greenhouse vibe
Like the new name Buddha

I'm now 11dpo and despite the fact that I bought two clearblue tonight (half price in Tesco) I'm going to try not to test til Monday morning which will allow me to indulge myself and my tender niples/big boobs in some BFP daydreams... Hope you and I are on for a BFP on Monday Jools and iggy too if she's still in (BTW Iggy I don't have your mob number but I'm sure you sent it round. How did I miss it? )

Night night lovely ladies. Hope to catch up with you all soon.

Hi all! I'm back! Missed you all but MLS has kept me up to date on news (Thanks)
I'm off now to catch up on all the ramblings and rantings that I LOVE!
Be back later but suspect you're all doing something more interesting with your Saturday night...

hello....

Just quickly as im sorting out the ac guys....hopefully the villa will cool down now, its 37 degrees at the moment

just wanted to tell curley that i spoke to my doctor today as she assures me that disappearing symptoms from 10 weeks is normal...some people just get to the blooming stage earlier than others, hope this helps a little hun?

I have to call the hospital of my choosing and book in the birth and everything they arrange a meeting and book you your room and stuff! Im just wanting a early scan, havent even thought further than 9 weeks!

Ill be back later, hopefully cooler xxx
