Ok, feel a bit scared actually starting the new thread but here we are, for however long (or short) our time here may be.

Off you go ladies. Welcome () one and all.

No, wait, I still can't get over it.

Thank god all the slackers left work hours ago and didn't just witness my "Hail to the BFP" victory dance.

xxxxxxxx

Goodluckbear · 23/03/2010 18:07

What, what??!!!!!!!! Unbuffy, please buy a zillion pee sticks and start POAS once an hour for the next - I don't know - five days or something. I mean, don't get up in the night or anything, and I realise you probably won't need to wee every single hour, so er, yeah, maybe that's an unreasonble request. But OMG - a faint line is still a line!!

Jeez - this is too much excitment, I'm going to have to have a lie down.

Alba and Unbuffy. This did all just happen today, right?

xxxxxxxxxx

spottysox · 23/03/2010 17:59

unbuffy great news a line is a line . Well done to DD, now you'll need to go proper shoe shopping ooh I love little shoes.

I just googled 'frotting' It happened to me many years ago on the tube in London, I screamed and he ran away. How did you ladies get onto such a subject

AlbaDeTamble · 23/03/2010 17:43

a line is a line unbuffy, here's to stickiness and proper bfps for us both by the weekend, meantime zen-like calm...

And a big yay to your DD!

Unbuffy · 23/03/2010 17:31

So. On dh's instructions, just got on with it.

well, big fat possibly. faintest possible line. So no idea yet - will try again in a few days if nothing changesc(ie no rtd!)

A bit less petrified, as still no real answers!! Can stay in limbo a bit longer. Thanks for ommmmmms and incense, has helped and i feel a bit calmer. Also dd started walking just after lunch (seriously. No attempts before, just stood up and WENT.) And that made me feel and much more zenny (once heart-fluttering had died down some).

Will keep you posted...

Hello Ladies,

Have been offline for a while. Been back at work (sort of) and having a hard time. Don't like the fact that work is getting in the way of grieving, sounds odd, I know. But had meeting Thursday with Manager, HR and my Union rep and sorted a few things out. Then over the weekend realised that was what was happening..

Have updated stats as I seem to have lost a few days. Am actually CD64 but that might change later - feeling distinctly like the RTD is looming!

Sorry I haven't been able to catch up with the thread. Will try tomorrow

Gaaargh, just a flying visit on mowbli.
Want to stay and play but only got 18 mins and need to eat.

Alba great news!

Unbuffy POAS!

G1da I actually thought you made a typo and meant fretting!
I was lucky enough to get a seat so no, still no frotting went on even if Mr.G was sitting opposite.
May try next time if train is delayed. not!

Have to go now, catch up later after Alice.
Sorry not to check everyone
xx xx

Allthe8s · 23/03/2010 14:49

unbuffy........maybe you should just test hun?

AlbaDeTamble · 23/03/2010 14:20

[Alba passes incense and sickbowl back to unbuffy to see if she retches -- much more reliable than HPTs]

Gi1da · 23/03/2010 14:15

Sneaks back into thread and

Unbuffy · 23/03/2010 14:04

Happygirl that may not be It, you know. It may just be too early. Not getting your hopes up, but the stats re testing are so poor it's ridiculous. Not entirely sure why we put ourselves through it, tbh.

[SELF-INTERESTED RANT ALERT]
Think I'm too afraid (of results either way!) to poas. Before Day 28 I was fine, even wanted to. Now I'm **ing terrified. Have days/hours/minutes of 'yes i am because...' / 'no i'm not because...', but at least i do have a bit of hope currently.

I know last month was 28 days, but before i got pg last time I had really odd length cycles. Possibly just because of b/f etc (this is no longer an issue) and long gap after having dd before period returned. But I dunno. Not sure what they're supposed to be like really due to being on pill since 14ish - prescribed due to 2 week bleeds.

Someone tell me I'm officially LATE and I might have the guts to do it. [dithering and panicked emoticon]

Sorry everybody, don't mean to rant 'n' ramble, is very selfish i know when some of you are going through awfulness and i'm just a big fat chicken.

Where the hell has that zen gone, just when i need it?

Gi1da · 23/03/2010 14:02

Hellooo!

Gi1da · 23/03/2010 14:01

Alba wonderful wonderful news! Do remember to get the type of clear blue that doubles up as a party popper and shoots out sparkly ?Congratulations you?re up the duff? streamers. I bet Waitrose does them.

Spottysox ? thread kittens oh yes yes yes, though we might want to warn MrG about a potential sausagegate incident

Littlemiss ? wishing you minimal fondlage and a mindatrest result

TFLS super to hear your good news [hoorah]

Urd sorry the trailer weren?t a rocking, but time away is always bloody good for the soul, and we?re gearing up to a very successful next run at the baby winning game. I feel a lucky streak coming on! PS fudge eminently welcome.

Clareanna ? glad to hear the yanks didn?t arrest you for indecent boobage!

Unbuffy Did you go for the pee in a pot for later usage option or do we have to wait till tomorrow? [nudge]

MrsG Do let us know what Alice is like, I bet Johnny Depp will be amazing [swoon]

And re frottage, I think I was very making a very inappropriate and unfounded comment about your potential conduct as a commuter, then realised that I didn?t know where my head was at.. and I really should put this spade down and refrain from making this hole any larger....

Sorry can't namecheck all, I have to get back to pesky work... Wishing you all a wonderful spring day! JulesAbs, Barrenbrook, WestYorks, GLB, Allthe8s, Liahgen66, Jollster, Hippy - helloo

VivC ? 'allo 'allo

So sorry for missing anyone off! [runs away from keyboard at sound of approaching colleagues...]

BunnyBaby · 23/03/2010 13:45

congratulations alba and tfls! great news to liven our days up.

unbuffy gentle nudge to test girly!

Goodluckbear · 23/03/2010 13:42

Hey TFLS - great news!! Glad to hear things are going well.

I feel more optimistic for myself when I hear these positive stories!!

xxxxxxxxx

Allthe8s · 23/03/2010 13:37

Dont despair happygirl hang in their chick and keep positive! x

Allthe8s · 23/03/2010 12:14

Well done Alba sending sticky bean vibes!
Lovely new TFLS

SO lovely to have some nice news today ladies!! x

HappyGirl1 · 23/03/2010 12:11

Alba huge big whispers of congratulations! Delighted to hear some positive news!

TFLS congrats too - great your scan went well!

I'm on Day 26 since MC, ov'd at day 14, cycle usually26-28.. did a test yesterday had a BFN.. desperate to test this afternoon but know I should wait until the morning. Have v v little hope as boobs keep going from huge to not huge, from sore to not sore so it makes no sense. Last time they were just sore the whole time. Weird taste in my mouth which frustrates me cos it makes me want to believe but then I get pains that feels like RTD is on the way. I just give up! I just want to know but just don't feel positive..

Would love if there was a big run though on the thread like February! Fingers and everything crossed though for us all close to testing!

Unbuffy · 23/03/2010 12:06

Sickness is a good sign of stickiness, Grasshopper. [makes mystic sticky sign] (not that one. That's disgusting, put it away!)

ElmMum · 23/03/2010 11:52

[whispers] congratulations, Alba. Got everything crossed for you!

TFLS - lovely! A happy 12 week scan. Gives me real hope.

xx

AlbaDeTamble · 23/03/2010 11:44

[who promptly throws up at pungent smell]

Unbuffy · 23/03/2010 11:43

[buffy passes the incense and rice bowl to Alba]

AlbaDeTamble · 23/03/2010 11:36

omg, unbuffy please don't wish twins for me! I am feeling bizarre zen-like calm this morning... if that's a symptom then I think you should be testing too -- and you can have the twins

thanks for lovely supportive whispers, will try to maintain zen-like calm and not worry too much as this is really really early days, but it's good news so far and I'm going to stay in the moment and enjoy it.

spottysox · 23/03/2010 10:56

TFLS great to hear your scan went well. Reading positive outcomes from people of a similar age really helps, thankyou.

spottysox · 23/03/2010 10:43

Alba yayyyy BFP congrats to you and MrAlba

Hussy cat did have her kittens in the garage, I can hear them mewing but the Hussy won't share. Will have to find them at the weekend so they don't turn into feral devil cats. If MrG doesn't mind sharing the thread pet title Hussy cat and Kits are available for cyber cuddles, although Hussy is very partial to the odd sausage
