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

barbies in da house! hi lovely knackered lady. Glad you had a good time seeing all your friends and family and well done for managing to cope with camping. Did you need the nail file though?

curly oh for goodness sake why do they complicate a scan? its not hard a bit of swoshing around and bobs your uncle. Reckon we should start our own scan shop up.
Don't worry though pleaseeeese cos I expect your hormones are just adjusting. Hope you enjoyeed your lunch.x

jools you are not too old. The only reason I am staying on here is to make you feel like a spring chicken

mls I completly forgot you were going to the drs, its good they have been so thorough though - please just have a nice relaxed weekend and chillx.

Have to go, its my dhs birthday so I have been off doing a bit of pampering etc. He is totally crap at taking days off though and has 'nipped back to check everything is ok'

love to allxx

Oh Curly so sorry all the sleepless nights and everything then to be disappointed. Hope you have a lovely lunch out with dh and can find lots to take your mind off it during the next week. Don't be sorry at all! And don't go making rash promises to be normal...that's not how we work around here
Massive hug for you and we will totally understand if you want to stay stuck in that sand a little longer.

MLS hope the antibiotics will have the desired effect; you don't need that stress on top of everything

Hi Barbie! Glad you're back. One BFP while you were gone from Becks but she hasn't been back since! Good luck with all the catching up!!

And you can "rant" as much as you like. We're here to listen. Hope your lunch takes your mind off things...

sorry to hear that curly. Here's my hand to hold if you wish...

Well Neeko says she has big boobs but lets not put her under any pressure or I'll be in trouble if she comes back from holiday & thinks I've been telling everyone she might be pregnant. So lets just say that Neeko has big boobs which may be attributed to all the lovely food she's been eating on holiday..... or it might be something else more exciting!

sabs also sneakily waves to barbie mls and jools whilst "working" from home

oh i like the sound of promising symptoms!

Im drained, it was hard work trying to visit everyone and then mid way go away to ireland for the festival for 5 days...and to top it off the ac is broken and its 35 degrees in the house the earliest we can get it fixed is tomorrow, thankfully the upstairs is working so i have spend all day in and out of bed sadly the wireless dont work up there or else i could of taken the mac up with me!

waves back to mls

Welcome back Barbie

yes, we most definitely missed you. Hope you had a FAB time and are all relaxed now

We've all moved into Mermaids greenhouse and are drinking rose out of watering cans !!

I think there is an updated list on this page somewhere so you can all see where we are at Neeko is on hols with promising symptoms. I'm at work with promising symptoms but an early BFN, but I can't remember what else happened when, so will let someone else fill you in !!

The answer is never. If your body is able to fall pregnant & carry a baby then you can't be too old. My ex boss's wife had her first at 40 & second at 43.

I have added you on FB.

P.S. Can't you leave the new office & accidentally end up at home???

miss me????

OMG i have missed you all so much.... but dh is proud that i stayed away and im sure all my family liked the time i spent with them

I panicked when i logged on as i couldnt find any of you!, thankfully you are all so chatty i found you in active conversations!

I will try to catch up this evening but can anyone give me a rough guide of what has been going on? any bfp???? I see curly has a scan, im going to read back to make sure she is just having one due to being impatient and nothing is wrong?

As for me, i have a scare 2 weeks ago, some discharge after sex but decided to bury my head in the sand and forget about it, have been feeling pretty rough and the festival was a bit of a challenge to say the least! Im 9 weeks today and im planning on a scan next week. Bupa give me up to £4000 a year on maternity stuff so i can more than get any with another scan

Right im off to catch up, speak soon xxxx

I'm not very good with Facebook - keep forgetting about it ! I am friends with Barbie on there, and she sent me a list of other people to look for, but I haven't yet !! My profile pic is a siamese cat, so you can find me

Miserable day today - I came into our flagship new office in London for a meeting - was looking forward to lunch out, then maybe a drinkie after work but my meeting got cancelled and there is nobody around

Am thinking of finishing up here and going back to my nice cosy local office for the rest of the day, where it is friendly and not sterile and full of directors !

Still vaguely hopeful - my cm pattern post ov is most definitely not what I'd normally expect, so am holding on to that. Am confused by the nausea though - if it was PG related, surely that would mean there was enough HCG floating around to show up on a test ...

I should know either way by the morning, as if AF is arriving on time, I will have a little bit of spotting this evening. Am currently having maudlin thoughts about how much longer I can keep trying - when is "too old" to become a first time mum ?

cupcake yes Barbie is back today as she has logged onto Facebook. Why aren't the rest of you using Facebook???

Good luck for today Curly, please update us asap.

Jools I still have high hopes for you, I guess you'll just have to leave it another few days.

Well I had my docs appointment today & apparently I have some shadows on my lungs. I have to take some really strong antibiotics & have another x-ray in four weeks time. As for my abdo pain, it was really bad first thing this morning but seems much better now. I totally forgot to ask the doctor about it, duh!

Lurking for news of curly so thought I'd update the list while I'm here! As per your suggestion MLS, and in the interest of saving space every time we copy the list, have taken the plunge and removed some of our non-frequent posters...as you say they can always add themselves back on- it's not that we don't love you!
Getting rather excited for Neeko

Thinking of you today curly, wishing you a very happy scan

Ooh and a big yay for barbie being back today (it is today right? )

Oh jools sorry about the BFN hope TEW stays away this weekend!

Hi Curly oh that is rubbish that you feel like history repeating itself I really hope today banishes those demons from the last time. Thinking of you loads.

Forgot to say hi Baking last night glad you are still around...and that is good news about the clomid. Really hope it doesn't go as far as IVF for you. We're so due another run of BFPs...

4ever how are you feeling today lovely?

Hope it goes well Curly We need to get some rotting veg from the back of the greenhouse and chuck it at the people who put back your scan

Another BFN this morning - 11 DPO. I was so nauseous yesterday, I'm sure I couldn't have imagined it. Less nauseous today but tender abdomen still. Oh well, I guess there is still a slim chance... I'll just wait it out now.

Thinking of you tomorrow Curly will be lurking all day for news.

MLS I have had all sorts of weird pains since my mc...I'm on day 7 now, af is basically over but still getting random cramps and sharp pains.. as Moon says I'm sure it is v normal considering what your poor insides have been through.

Hoping sorry to hear about the work conversation just another one of those crap things we have to get through but at least we know never to say 'when are you gonna pop one out??' to anyone! Hugs to you xxx

Night girls!

Sleep well MLS

Stomach cramps, backache and nausea chez Joolsiam am eyeing up the next First Response test in my underwear drawer ....

In meetings in London tomorrow, so will have to stop pretending to work and actually do some !

Lots of good wishes for Curly

Hmmmm yeah it does hurt when I sit down, it feels a bit like a punch up the fanjo.

Thanks so much Jools & Moon for coming to my rescue.

I'm off to bed now as I've had nearly a whole bottle of wine & I'm going to have a head tomorrow like a bag of cats.

cam? i mean came
