digital after a scaley splat with the haddock and tuna please allow to me to fling over a trout followed by herring, finishing up with a wafer thin sardine for good measure
Had enough yet

Congrats on the scan dorcas.

digitalgirl I have a large tuna here to give you a good thunk with. STEP AWAY FROM THE TESTS.

I meant not [shame]. How

dorcas and wyg in all my 2ww self obsession I forgot to say congrats on the scans.

Now please pass that haddock over here, why on earth would poas at 8pm only 1hr since the previous wee a whole week before my period is due result in anything less than a bfn. Or to be exact: an overly scrutinised evap line, fished out of the bin a total of three times.

I am [shame]. I fear I have opened the floodgates now the seal on the box of Internet cheapies has been broken.

Magic great news, congratulations

Julia I sure is. I might book three days off work in advance

I will gladly give you my cheat sheet LOL.

I have no experience of Zita except for taking her tablets (recommended by my lovely sister who is 19 weeks pregnant ) - all the advice I can offer is don't be alarmed by your luminous yellow wee!

Zita West's book is really useful.

dorcas wonderful news- see you on the grads thread now?!

Pretty V I'm already hitting about 8 on the Loony Meter, if I ratchet up any higher the Menkul police will make me stand in Menkul Corner with Lindsay Lohan.

Hairy you is on a mission! If the bitch arrives for me (as I suspect she will) this weekend (on my blimmin' birthday weekend too) then I'll be looking for a cheat sheet from you!
Please, I might add. . ..

Now, Zita West I know is renowned but is she and her team really top notch? Anyone have experience? I'd hate to assume that they're some of the best just because of the name.

Lovely to hear from you WYG and Dorcas, great to be able to see your little beans and here's to being able to relax a little bit more now

am liking the excuses to go to SA to get drunk knocked up

great news, Dorcas

I've been researching and diarising next months' maximum SWI'ing dates

Here I come, wheatgrass, Zita West supplements, Brazil Nuts etc etc etc!

Excellent news WYG anddorcas* , you give us hope!

Btw I'm also a wedding/other random stuff photog. & £350 sounds like a bargain if your mate is a proper wedding photographer - we only cost so much cos we have to spend hours editing out zits etc post-wedding before we hand over the photos! I reckon I actually earn not that much above minimum wage given the hours I put in. Make your own book afterwards on blurb or YoPhoto, they are both cheap, decent quality and easy to use.

Going off topic a bit, sorry

See you all on the Cerne Abbas giant shortly then?

dorcas that is great news x

Aww thanks Loopy
I hopefully make a fortune at the party.

Dorcas that's wonderful news.
You can start to relax a little more now which will be fab for both of you.
Enjoy it x

Congratulations magic8, northerngoldlilocks and anyone else I've missed who has recently found themselves knocked up! Fantastic news. I just wanted to say to everyone who is recently pregnant and still in that early stage of terror- knicker checking and wishing more symptoms upon themselves- hang in there. I had my 12 week scan today and despite having convinced myself that there would be nothing in there, there is an actual real baby wriggling around. To be honest I have found the last three months incredibly hard, I have been so stressed out about things going wrong again, and I too couldn't bring myself to move properly to the grads thread. Hopefully now I might start to relax... I just wanted to add another positive story as I know how horrible it is. I think once you have had a pregnancy go wrong your experience of pregnancy is never the same again, you lose a bit of confidence in the process.
Everyone else on the 2ww/ SWI / WTTC, sending you lots of luck and wet haddocks (actually that's just for those on the 2ww).

Hi GLB How do?

Empty anything is worth a shot, I suggest like Lucy said, a bit of SWI whilst sitting on said chair.
Depending on where you live Notts or Dorset?
Bit too much out in the open in Cerne...

What GLB said though sounds like a fair excuse to skip both and go to SA and get krunk!

Congrats Magic8!!! aces news.

digi I am 9 dpo (er, possibly) and if I can hold off, so can you. Not testing until at least next Weds. :-)No symptoms tho so shall prob allow RTD to save me a test this time.

empty or you could try SWIing on top of the Cerne Abbas giant, that's said to do the trick. hope you are okay. Are you due to test soon or are you starting a new cycle?

congrats WYG also!

Wahay Magic8!! Just saw your news, congratulations!!

Manic waves to everyone else. empty - pregnancy chair sounds good to me, my mate told me about a particular vineyard in South Africa that made a wine that supposedly helped with conception - she claimed her DD was conceived after drinking a bottle of it. I actually considered flying there just to get it.

(I suspect the wine probably had a helping hand in conception as people were getting wasted and forgetting to use contraception, but I could see how the rumour started).

Hope you lovely ladies are all ok xxxx

I'm now considering drastic measures...

There's a pregnancy chair in the Old Trip in Nottingham... I'm seriously considering going for a good long sit.

WYG triffick news about your scan!

Welcome back YRMOTB hope you're relaxed and ready to roll

Sorry metal barsteward got you MrsGM

Digi the BFP fairy is not at her desk at the moment.
If you would be so kind to call back in perhaps 5-6 days she will be happy to examine your offerings.
In the meantime we do offer a Haddock slapping service if you do so require.
Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

PlanetVacant is still levelling out
Still no EWCM of which to speak of but odd twinges and contented thinkings are a happinin'
We are buying our house (easypeasy) sorry Cheepz & Jolls
We've lived here for a while and have finally got our arses in gear to get a mortgage for it.
MIL was helping plan the garden space and we came to the conclusion that we wouldn't be able to stick a conservatory on the front for a few years, so she gave me strict instruction to "research" which pram I wanted, get the measurements and make sure it fits in the space we have now.
Did that a while ago

Feeling positive and if I'm not updiffed this month it will be soon.
Saying that I go even more crazy pre R2D2 and could really not be doing with that in the next week as I'm going back to work with Missmemememe.
And my EDD was begining of Aug.
And I stoopidly agreeed to do a maaassssiiive feckin Baby Shower on the 1st.
idiot much??

Yeah, ok, It's going to be tough if it doesn't happen, who am I kidding

Er Julia could you please up the menkulness on your part so I appear just a little less cra-zee!
Thanks luv.

Cheepz Thanks for the info on FR - gives me a glimmer of hope that BFN on Tues (when AF is due tomorrow) was wrong but the funny feeling I have in my lower belly makes me believe that it's gonna be another month of disappointment .
I have bought a CB digital for the future though!

It's a bloody exhausting emotional roller coaster this TTC lark, isn't it?! Why do I set myself up to fall so hard . . .I just don't know.

Magic8 - Fantastic news - Yay!

Thanks Pretty x

How goes it Alba ??
