Good luck handbag. I on on CD27 now. Has cramping over weekend, but no AF yet either. Due anytime though.

House stuff is just there at moment. Have a viewer tomorrow though. TBH we are getting some viewings. But because of where we are and who we are using, viewers are seeing 5 or 6 apartments together, so it depends on their budget and their needs as to wether or matches or not. Not had any feedback which is frustrating.

Actually would you believe our ogriginal buyer phoned DH (who is also the buyer's solicitor anyway) on friday. He also told DH that he would have £200k a week ion Friday amnd will be able to complete on apartment then. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! As you can tell, I am not holding out much hope there! LOL!

Bought my copy on Saturday but it's too flipping big to get in my handbag...so I can't read it on the train on the way too work. Gutted!! Every spare minute I have at home is being spent painting...so it's not even as if I'm getting any time there either!!

Hi everyone by the way! On CD25 today. Had a bit of spotting on Saturday day/night - enough for some protection but then nothing since. Apart from that I've got cramps and had massively sore boobs last night - they're OK now though! Still refusing to get excited as this kind of stuff is relatively standard pre-AF for me. However, if nothing has happened by Thurday night, I may be tempted to test Friday morning, mainly because, it's my sister's wedding on Friday and I want to know if I can drink heavily or not!!!!

Bella - sorry to hear you're feeling down about stuff. Have to admit the stress of being told that I may not be ovulating is making me feel even more stressed about things...so I know how it goes. Feels crap doesn't it???

Debbsy - hope things are getting better with your DH.

CP - what's the latest? Really still keeping my fingers crossed for you.....if AF hasn't arrived - you still never know.

Milosmum - hope you manage to sort out your timings...can't believe ff seems to have got it so wrong.

Hello also to Eldestgirl - where are you by the way, Hula - ihopefully not too bad a question, but what's the latest on your house stuff?, Harriezb - very jealous of your finding Harry Potter time, Succesful - hang in there girl, Munz the pregnant lurker!!....and anyone else I've missed!

Hi MM and Hula, me too have about 50 pages left I think, and I can't believe what she's done wont say any more don't want to spoil it. I've really really enjoyed it.

Argh! I am at work all day tomorrow too. DH just HAS to call in - he can send his secretary maybe?! The main depot is really close to his work. Luckily his secretary is lovely and would be more than willing to wander over, especially in the sun. Hmm.

Was it good MM? I am so cross with the PO. Mine was undelivered on Saturday (as away) so went to get it from depot today. But it hasn't been returned there yet! Have to try again tomorrow

Oh Bella I'm so sorry that you are feeling so down, {{hugs}}, we understand how you feel and it's horrible to feel that you are becoming someone you don't want to be, I hope everything comes back ok for your DH's test.

Take care

Hula - yes totally, I absolutely hate that it turns you into the kind of person you never have been before!

Sorry you are feeling so low Bella TTC is so frustrating and such a roller coaster ride of emotions isn't it?

Morning all.
Just popping to in to check that everyone had a lovely weekend.
Well feeling very down again by the whole TTC thing now. We talked through things last night and DH is going to get his sperm analysed just so that we know if there are any problems in that area. He is a bit worried (as I think we both are)Weekend was filled with chatting to people telling us all about their new borns etc. One couple asked if we had decided not to have children.........very upsetting. Had an awful moment at a BBQ when I really wanted to weep as I just felt such a failure and am starting to really feel that it may never happen for us. I swear I have shelled out hundreds of pounds on baby gifts over the last year as literally everyone we know has had a baby.
Sorry to be so down, this is what TTC does to me, turns me into a horrible, self absorbed individual who feels very unfairly done to!!
Am on CD20 and I guarantee you that AF will show this weekend.
Sorry ladies, will get on with some work and snap myself out of this self pity state.

Morning everyone,

CP fingers crossed for wednesday for you, and Debbsy hope things go well for this week, well done with the bum on pillow thing.

Hula I don't think we'll hear from MM for at least a week if she has her head stuck in her book, DH bought me a copy on saturday - the sweetheart and I have spent most of sunday with my head in it - page 260 so far and I'm really enjoying it. Even managed to get myself and DS organised and dressed quickly enough to get 20 minutes in before we needed to leave for work.

I'm on CD13 and had EWCM this morning, will see how much BD we can get in between now and the end of the week.

Take care everyone hope you're enjoying the sunshine,

Hi munz; good to see you are doing well. And remember the sicky feeling is a great positive sign - means that allthe rigth hormones are there and working. That's what I kept in mind when I had horrid sickness with DD.

Milosmum ? did you get your book? I had forgotten I was away at weekend so mine was delivered Saturday ? and I wasn?t in! Have to go and get it tomorrow from PO.

Gingerbear ? LOL! It?s a pain. Knowing I CAN get pg doesn?t help either really as it makes me more frustrated. But, we will get there eventually.

Hope you get your BFP really soon CP.

CD26 here. Had AF type cramps yesterday and today, and felt a bit dodgy. Don't think the hayfever (got it bad near BIL's new house) and all that liftiing helping them moved helped; nor the copius amounts of wine afterwards!

Saw friend's 17 day old baby today. He is so lovely and sweet. Hoping the baby cuddles will have thrown some special sticky dust over me.

I would love a MArch baby - my birthdays in march, and DS birthday id a couple of days before DP's so one close to my birthday would be nice to

i feel thoses pg tests staring at me but im holding out - i dont want another BFN so im being very strong and not giving into temptation, i have decided Wednesday seems a good day to test.

np, good thanks bit sicky but nothing mega. hopefully it's your month this month -and CP's. wouldn't it be nice for u to all get BFP's and come to us on the march thread! - we'd be swomped!

it was the salp dunno just feels different they told me leave it 24hrs and i would be ok but cos i did opk on fri morn and got a bright blue line we did bd naughty i know thanks for info your a star how are you feeling with your little bean xx

debs - don't worry I think DH's sperm had to be 'clean' so to speak ie no BD for 48 hrs b4 the tests, (or it might have been 3 days not sure but you'll be fine if you did it today but don't do it again till after the test on weds iycwim)
the lap - er can't quite remeber I did wait 48 hours b4 BD'ing again after the lap I think the first one was a bit uncomfortable but after that was fine. EWCM is good thou.

munz or anyone else please could you try and answer a couple of questions for me dh and i have just bd again as im still getting ewcm but it feels different inside like more intense sharper feeling but not painful is that something to do with the salp do you think? And also dh goes for his sperm analysis on weds will it make a difference as we bd yesterday and today will it still be ok panicking a bit now hes going weds morn at 11.30am we are abstaining now sorry ofr embarassing questions

thanks jen xx

Hurrah Debs - pleased to hear you are happier xx

yay we managed to bd once in the allotted time thats it now as dh going for sperm analysis appoint on weds (we rang up and got an earlier appointment)bum on pillow trick so wish me luck ladies feel much happier now

Morning everyone - still nothing to report, i will do another test next week, im not going to stress myself out doing one each day. i have v heavy and sore boobs today, they feel relly heavy and swollen

Hugs to all - charlee xxx

Morning all! SOrry haven't been around for a few days, work has been terrible and I spent 12 hours in central London on Wednesday, fighting with the eye hospital and meetings - oh the joy!

CP - keeping everything crossed for you hon ((hugs))

J xx
