Hi ya,

When i got home today there was a message from Cons secretary asking me to call her back - now worrying what it's about!!!

I had a weird dream again last night but forgotten it now.

Water is something to do with life passing by & sandals are saying I'm comfortable with my life (yeah right) so don't think it's that. Deb I too feel I'm overdue a holiday!

More rows with BT but able to get money back as it's in dispute. They say line is fine!!!

Stac It's nice to hear how well it's going for you. Plus gives us some experience of what will happen in the future.

I've had a couple of EVCM days the past two - prob just over active rather than it meaning I've ovulated.

Hope everyone else has had a good day

Thanks ladies, it's always good to be able to talk about things.

debi I used to get times like that as sex felt like a chore sometimes, we eventually took a step back and I stopped telling dp when we were supposed to do it and just initiated it instead, kind of helped with the routine lol. For your cm try grapefruit juice, green tea, evening primrose from after you ov until just before you ov. All worth a try clomid can play havoc with cm

Thanks ladybird your right preseed can be a turn off, you could add it into the play part (omg tell me to bugger off lol)

fairy your dreams are developing a theme, have you checked online about water and flip flops? How are you feeling now?

clure have you heard from Guys yet?

popsy hows you? Is your mum feeling any better*jo hows things with you? is dh and ds feeling any better?

Hey to everyone else, how are you all?

Deb im on CD 13, I know what you mean about the sex drive, ive had a small amount of CM and ovary pain today so i will probably ovulate any day now so thinking i must make an effort to make myself irresitable for DP

Debicemmy2 · 02/02/2010 17:03

Thanks for the reply stac i do have pre seed but forget to use it most of the time, its a bit of a passion killer when i have to ask dp to wait whilst i apply to the pre seed lol.
Oh by the way i dont find it boring reading your posts about how you get on at the midwife/doctors etc, find it quite interesting

Hi everyone,

Fantastic day stac that everything is going well & movements (thats the bit I'm really looking forward too after see smile on DH when I finally get BFP!) lol.

Peju - welcome back! I'm sure everything will go well & I bet you're glowing.

pops - Hope you are feeling a bit better today.

Clure how's the back?

Ven hope your house is totallyt defrosted & warmed up now.

Hello to everyone else!

Had a very restless night as my nose is back to being totally blocked & feel dehydrated. DH woke me up at 3 cos he needed a drink & didn't go about it quietly. So he fell back to sleep 10 mins laer & I was awake till quarter to five!!!!
I did dream though - i dreamt that my nan gave me a suitcase with a pink knittled pram coat on the top and I left it on the train. When I remembered it I ran down stone steps at the station to get to another platform but I had to walk through this large puddle getting my feet & flip flops wet!

Thats the 2nd dream with water & flip flops!
Think this is my dream diary!

Hey ladies

Saw the midwife today got bloods done and the usual checks, everything seems fine. Got bloods for downs and spina bifda suddenly feel bit nervous about it (typical worry about everything lol) She said it was too early to check for heartbeat as it is quite hard to find and they dont like to worry you for nothing, also cant be sure of being able to offer a scan to put your mind at rest. I agreed that I worry enough as it is lol. Doc came to see me as have had panic attacks he thinks they may have upped my thyroxine too quickly but he cant get a clear picture for another 3 weeks so back at hospital then but other than that all seems well (sorry for boring you all with this)

How is everyone today? pospy you ok? thinking of you all {{Chocolate flavoured virtual hugs coming to you all}} oh and indistrial strength baby dust **

peju i didnt know you got bfp, congrats hun. I may have missed it with the nappy brain i have at the mo lol. I had crap morning sickness, buy seabands. I got mine from the chemist but then found them in the pound shop, both as good and been a life saver for me. Happy for you x

popsy i am 16weeks, its not frequent movement but has been building up over the past week. Thought it was wind lol. How are you keeping? X

peju25 · 31/01/2010 21:26

Hi all

Just been having a read to catch up - Congrats popsy really good news!! Ive found myself in bed by 10 at latest most nights!! The sickness still continues too but i am in a "it can throw whatever it likes at me and i wont complain!" type mood - tried for so long i dont care!!

Stac - must be really exciting that you can feel the movement now - i cant wait for that!!

I had my early scan last week and they put me at 9 weeks - as my doc organised that one my mw sorted one for tro so think i will also have another in couple weeks so can get downs scan part done too. Was grea to see the heart beating in there tho!!

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

just pmpl @ DD Clure. Bless her. You obviously put her in too many dresses! lol.

Jo I think I have a very overactive imagination!

Clure · 31/01/2010 18:23

a little conversation at the dinner table during tea earlier; DD asked when we had her did we want a girl baby. DH and myself or course fell over ourselves to tell her of course (which was actually true)
DH; "Do you know how we knew you were a little girl when you came out of mummy's tummy?"
DD; "no"
me: "we had to look very closely to tell if you were a boy or girl baby"
DD; "i don't know"
DH; "think about what little boys have that girls don't"
DD; "trousers"
me; "inside the trousers" (you can see where this is leading can't you ladies?!)
DD; "underpants"
DH; "inside the underpants"
DD "poo poo and wee wee"
me; (holding poorly back whilst I scream laughing) "NO!"
DD; (finally) a willy

hurrah!!!
just had to share that one with you all

jobobpip08 · 31/01/2010 18:04

ven sorry you've had a row, hope things are a bit less chilly now. But you're right, the pressure is immense and it affects our men too. I'm sure that why DH hasn't been well these past 3 weeks. Don't know what DS excuse is!! Charting is only to to confirm that you have ovulated, as your temp goes up afterwards once the progesterone kicks in.

fairy you must be shattered every morning! I think it reflects your inner turmoil about ttc.

pops what a weekend you're having have emailed you xxx

clure hope you're on the mend before DD 'styles' you again!

hello to everyone else

We've had a lazy day, apart from some tidying up. Too chilly with wintry showers, so sat in front of the fire waiting for tea. DS definitely back to school tomorrow - hes been driving me mad today! A sure sign he is better.

I know, weekends are flying by. Not fair!

popsy1 · 31/01/2010 16:53

How come the weekend goes so fast??? Where has it gone?

My weekend has been so busy. Mums still really poorly after her operation so i've spent most of the weekend with mum and dad or running errands for them. I'm exhausted now! Trying to get organised for work and its just not happening. I was so close to telling mum yesterday but DH has said not till after my early scan. She has been a little delirious and said my son who we lost came to visit her. She described him. He had blonde hair and was smiling at her then he walked away.She was so upset, i just wanted to tell her.

Its so hard not having anyone to talk to and i dont know how much you ladies want to hear! Sorry i know you all have your own worries and stresses. Its the first anniversary on Tuesday, i suppose i am just panicking.

Love to all

Fairygodmother1 · 31/01/2010 15:31

Ven we hear you luv with the stress & the row!!!! All clear here this weekend. Big hugs & hope it defrosts quickly. I notice EWCM more this month. It also seemed to last about 5 days this month. Hopefully I caught it this month! Next month will be clomid free!

I think there is something to dreams but don't know what & those online dictionaries only tell about symbolism of one thing. The symbols are in situations so it's more to it. I usually dream every night but the last two nights have been crazy.

Debicemmy2 · 31/01/2010 13:59

Clure Thank you sooooooooooo much for my hug.......was a nice one Sending one right back to you too.
Fairy Your dreams really are crazy.....just like mine
Lets see who will have the most crazy dreams eh......maybe it will take our minds off other thinks that drive us crazy
I too am having a lazy day.....again lol
Take care everyond and sending lots of hugs your way xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Venetia2 · 31/01/2010 13:45

Hi, hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

Had almighty row with DH on Friday night. Partly about TTC, mostly about the fact we are both stressed out. Things have just about defrosted now. Would like to blame it on the Clomid (which probably played a part) but everything is so stressful at the moment so it was probably that.

On the plus side had a revelation about EWCM, so at least I think I have ovulated. (The pains gave me a clue too). Am going back to temperature charting again next month too, dug out the thermometre and checked that it still works. Looked at the old charts from a couple of years ago-irregular working patterns really screw up your body! Now I have a more regular job hope things will even out.

Ladybird I have no idea about testing for hostility of CM sorry, I hesitate to say this but can you google it?

Clure sorry your back is still playing up, at least it sounds like you are being really productive.

Fairy the dreams are pretty interesting, do you think dreams mean anything?

Stac crochet is really easy-when my dad was ill I made a double bed blanket as I basically stopped sleeping and was driving myself mad with worry, it grew really quickly and is lovely and warm....

Hi to everyone else, I really like the idea of industrial strength baby dust.......

Ladybird10 · 31/01/2010 12:37

Hi All

Carebear I also think that only BDing twice a week is the reason why we havent conceived, i'm sure if we did it every other night then it would of happened by now, but dp thinks that it will happen when the time is right. Wish i was that chilled out about it all. Im sure it will happen one day, there are so many girls that get pregnant by accident and have only done it the once. Also one of my friends said she didnt BD very often, maybe once a week and she still conceived quickly.

Im starting to think that maybe my CM is hostile to DP's swimmers, can the clinic do a test to find out if thats what the problem is?

Good luck to eveyone, im sure there will be some more BFP on here soon.

We will get pregnant baby dust **

Fairygodmother1 · 31/01/2010 10:22

I aim to entertain! Glad my niece plays hairdressers with dolls when we play together! lol.
Don't know why I'm getting these colds - taking pre-natal vits, Vit c & omega 3 every night! Think it's all the stress!

xxx

Clure · 31/01/2010 10:13

hi all

fairy - you must be run down and susceptible to colds at the mo. Your dreams are entertaining!! take it easy today, I have done my planning cos I can't go out running or do the hoovering or continue painting our hall I need to keep occupied!

DD is now playing hairdressers with me, I have a lovely array of gawdy character slides and bobbles in my hair - very fetching.
My back is still VERY stiff and I am moving around the house so gingerly to avoid jarring it.
I'm about cd 29. haven't yet got things moving on the fertilty clinic as so many other things have taken priority this week.

have a good day everyone dust xxxxxxxx

Fairygodmother1 · 31/01/2010 08:53

Clure gotta laugh at you an obscenities - sooooo not like you! lol. Hope it starts easing soon. This cold lark is not good either - the cold part has arrived again & hubby has it. Just spoken to mum & she's off work with it!

Deb I'm on CD 18 today. More weird dreams last night. I was trying to get my ex back but he turned into DH & then we were out in a local park & DH was pushing a stroller & I lost my flipflops in a lake (?). We bumped into some from work with her daughter. Then I was taking my class on a trip but ended up going round a large roundabout where I grew up! Then I turned 21 & was moving out of this really nice house into my parents cos I had split up from my ex & was arguing with my brother as to which room at my parent's old house I was going to have!!!!

Although some of this is based on real life events a lot just doesn't make sense cos it's always the same ex (although I've a few more than 1!). Something weird is going on in my sub-conscience...lol

What's everyone's plans for the day? I'm chilling & trying to avoid planning. I think DH might be spending the day in bed! Bless.
