I know we mentioned having a "chat" thread as well, do you still fancy one or not ? I'd like to be on the original thread as well.

Sounds like a plan to me Josie. When the babies are older Im sure they will laugh about us three on this board!!!! xx

Jossie · 24/11/2006 23:25

and DH will kill me for telling about it...
not as much as he would for the crude stuff we were talking about in the staffroom at work today though!!-not about TTC I will add, more about the method of TTC!!

I'd love to be a lucky mascot for you both! My fingers are crossed for the two of you.
Edie, you never know, look at me and dh, we didnt do alot of bd this month due to dh work load and working away, also no bd at all when i was ov so i still have my doubts Dh asked "whos is it) LOL
Eddie, that was the same with me and dh when we were ill, it took us weeks to get rid of it, hopefully its not as long for you though!
Glad you enjoyed your meal, same with yourself Jossie with the bowling night.
Its good to get a night out.
Have either of you any plans for this weekend?
Im just painting the livingroom, have already done the undercoat.
I'll also be trying to make up with ds, got a text message from his school yesterday saying he wasnt at school, so i was v,v,v
when he arrived home i said "did u forget something today" he replied "no, i dont think so" I said "did u forget to go to school" he just gave me a weird look and said "why would i forget that, i do it 5 days week" I explained the school had txd me, but he brought out all his days work and i was so angry but relieved. Myself and dh spoke about it all day both saying hes too smart to do something like that, dh saying "Ryan would never do anything like that to hurt u, you'se are both v.v close" I just didnt think a school would make a mistake like that
anyway, phoned the school and they said it was a mistake
So all ive heard is "mum i cant believe you thought i'd dog school im far to smart to do that"!!!!LOL
Hope you are both well and have a great weekend!! XXX

Jossie · 25/11/2006 17:47

I say blame it on the teachers!!! I can get away with saying that.
Out to play in a concert tonight-the first christmas one of the season, so it should be good.
Lynne have you had all of your house re-done or have you extended, you seem to be doing a lot of decorating-which is what we should be doing, but DH is working a lot and is at college as well so we don't seem to be getting very far, the builders moved out in February and we've only done bits since.
Bye for now
J

Hope you enjoy your concert Jossie!
We havent extended yet, not long finished the kitchen and now doing the livingroom, we should have done it ages ago but we got all our garden done last year with a big pond built round our back as dh loves his fish, so now it time to do a bit in the livingroom.I managed to undercoat it yesterday and picked our colours today with the sample pots so will have to go and buy the paint tomorrow, so dh will do the top half and ceiling and i'll do bottom half.
Edie, hope your having a nice weekend!

Hi girls, how are you both??
Ive had quite a bad day Not stopped thinking about mc, woke at 5am and couldnt get it out my head, so just got up and did the house work, i dont feel pg and thats a big worry i have been peeing a bit more but thats it! Keep telling myself maybe its still too early but then just think other things I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow, so im praying everyday/night that it is still a bit early.Dh is home from work so he's been v good, keeping my mind on other things.
Well i hope you are well and had a nice weekend, i'll catch up with you both tomorrow, its my b/day so me and dh are going out during the day then out for a meal in the evening, but no doubt i'll catch up at some point. Take care xxx

Jossie · 26/11/2006 21:23

Lynne Happy birthday for tomorrow!!

I know it's easy to say, but less easy to do-but try not to get in too much of a state about m/c, I'm sure you'll be ok, some of these feelings will be aboout stuff you haven't been able to deal with in your mind from the previous time.
I'll cross my fingers and hope you get hit with a huge wave of morning sickness-I know it's a strange thing to wish on someone, but I know in a warped way you'll welcome it!!

Have a good day tomorrow

lynneclynne · 26/11/2006 21:26

Thanx Jossie, i know, everyday i pray for ms!
Good nightx

edie123 · 27/11/2006 09:02

This might sound weird but this early it probably wouldn't be healthy to feel really pg anyway would it? Its far too early im sure-so many women feel nothing and those with symptoms probably blow them up a little anyway as its reassuring. TBH you will worry if you have nothing and then when you get some you will also probably worry. It's a hard time. MC is so unfair. It affects everything...

I have had quite a good weekend just chilling. Cooked a big roast yesterday-YUM.

Hope you are ok Josie and Lynne-try to distract yourself. Probably impossible though!!

edie123 · 27/11/2006 09:04

~~~~~HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNNE~~~~~

lynneclynne · 27/11/2006 10:03

Thanx edie! x
I know, your right about worrieing, its just so horrible!! Its suppose to be a time to be happy but its the oppisite for me (and many others)i hope we're right saying its still to early for symptoms! Just going out for the day with dh so that'll keep my mind occupied and then out this evening for a meal.
Take care girls! xxx

Jossie · 27/11/2006 11:17

Happy Birthday Lynne

lynneclynne · 27/11/2006 17:50

Thanx Jossie!
How have you been??
What about yourself edie??
Im just back from a days shopping with dh, it was a nightmare!!! I so hate shopping!! Dh wanted to take me up into the town for lunch,birthday presant and xmas shopping, so im glad to be back home (dh said that was the biggest smile on my face all day, when he said thats me got everything) LOL Give me internet shopping anyday!! People are just so ignornant and it drives me mad!and some of the shop staff are so dour faced its unbelievable
Sorry about the moan usually i have all the patience in the world but i despise ignorant and unhappy people
Anyway, my shopping trip is over (thank god) and dh bought me some lovely gifts from my fave shop (Lush)so i can go and pamper myself big time in the bath along with trousers and a few hooded fleeces that i choose also my coffee table, decided i cant be bothered going out so we're just going to phone a chinese
I hope you are both well, take care! xxx

Jossie · 28/11/2006 14:39

Hiya
How are you doing Lynne? Recovered from yesterday?
Glad to know you got your coffee table, did you go for the Argos one?
Hope that apart from shopping you enjoyed your birthday.
Are you ok Edie?
I think I'm going to do as much of my Christmas shopping on line as possible, I like shopping, but hate crowds or feeling pressured to make a decision. That said I bought DH his present today!

OP posts:
lynneclynne · 28/11/2006 18:54

Hi girls!
I have recovered jossie, only just!! Yes, i got the one from argos and dh broth bought me the nest of tables to match, so that was v nice of him, they are lovely, its an indian hand made wood.
How have you both been?? Good to see you are getting there with the xmas shopping.
I spoke with dh earlier about this pg, and girls i really dont think its gonnie happen,i just have THAT feeling! Ive been thinking about it the last few days and things just dont seem right, we shall see over the next week or two.
I hope you both well and having a nice week! xxx

Jossie · 28/11/2006 18:58

Hiya-
Let's hope your intuition is wrong about the pg-I know the first time my GP said that gut indicator is quite accurate, but that having been through it once my intuition would be tainted with fears of being too hopeful, so let's hope that is what it is. I suppose it's like having split up with someone, you are more cautious next time.

OP posts:
edie123 · 28/11/2006 22:08

Lynne I hope you are wrong

Just watched that prog about IVF and I cried at it! Don't know what's wrong with me, probably that my period is due soon. It was really amazing, it was looking at male infertility. I kept thinking: at least I can get pg, but not much of a consolation is it girls?

lynneclynne · 29/11/2006 16:07

Hi girls!
Hope your both well!
I hope im wrong too!
Still no symptoms apart from goin to loo a bit more, so only time will tell!
Edie, i watched that too, it was very good, i was thinking along the same lines as yourself, and trying my hardest not to cry!
Even in the blood transfusion clinic on monday when dh was given blood i was nearly crying LOL LOL i kept thinking how sweet all those people were, giving bloodso somethings going on there!!!
Well i'll keep you informed of any changes (dont know how many times ive grapped my boobs to see if they are sore yet)
but still nothing!!
Take care! XXX

edie123 · 29/11/2006 16:59

Lynne-I do that boob thing too. Due on tomorrow but really don't think I am pg.

Done some more xmas shopping online.

How are you Josie?

lynneclynne · 29/11/2006 21:06

Just noticed what i wrote Grapped???

Eddie, fingers are still crossed for you!x
Glad you got more xmas shopping done, i got some of my food from marks and spencer today(turkey,roast beef and a roll of pork) so stuck that in the freezer for now, still got bits and bobs to buy, the rest are all wrapped, thats us finished painting the l/room (thank god)so cant wait till its all back to normal (just in time for the xmas tree to go up
How are you getting on with the xmas shopping jossie??
What are the boys getting??
I'll catch up with you both tomorrow, just going to bed now, im nackered!
Lynnexxx

Jossie · 30/11/2006 00:29

Hiya
Well Lynne it sounds hopeful that you are feeling tired-fingers crossed.
Edie-you never know, it might be your turn.
Sorry I'm going to have a bit of a moan now as I'm feeling really down, just helped parents clean their house as they are moving tomorrow-I get on well with my parents and we are really close, so am dreading them going! I held it together when I was with them, but have just got out of bed as I was getting myself in a real state. It doesn't help that my boss, who was a friend even before I started working for her, has just ben appointed permanently to be my boss rather than temporarily and unfortunately last week she turned down my request to have Friday off unpaid so that I could help my parents sort out their stuff-I couldn't moan at work or get huffy with her because she is a friend!!
So that added with the fact that my parents were looking after DS2 1 day each week while I worked, has left me feeling really down. I can't wait for next year to start as I fel that DH and I have had more than our share of stress and bad luck this year, so am hoping the next one will be better.
Sorry I don't normally get down like this, I know I'll feel better in the morning, I just needed to sound off. (I'm not really a miserable cow!!)
Will chat tomorrow, hopefully in a more positive mood!

edie123 · 30/11/2006 09:44

Josie feel free to ventilate stuff on here, that's what we are here for! I would feel the same if my mum was moving away (very close to her, don't see dad). Where are they moving to? Is it far?

It's tough when your boss is also a freind-it's the same with me too. Not fair of her not to give you the day off though!!

Do you feel any better this morning? Im hoping too that next year will be better for you...

How are you Lynne? Glad to hear you are feeling tired!!!

lynneclynne · 30/11/2006 16:32

Hi girls, im fine thanks!
How are you both doing today?
Jossie, thats a bit of a pain your friend doing that!! I hope you are feeling better,sometimes its good to have right good moan I hope your mum and dads settled in ok. Im not that close to my mum, my dad left us when i was 6 and my mum couldnt handle it so started drinking and me and my broth were left to bring up my younger broth who was 2 at the time, so ive found the 3 of us are v,v close, i understand how my mum took to the drink as shes a v nervouse and insecure person but it still hurts as i was left to deal with a toddler at such a young age, she still drinks to this day and it really pisses me off big time,myself and two broth were talking the other day explaining how it has affected us mentally with alcohol, as not one of us can have a drink without it all coming back and haunting us,but have noticed what we didnt have then (a close family) we all have that very much in our own families.
Well today ive been feeling a bit sick, wretching anytime i enter the kitchen, if i see a dirty plate,cats bowls or any food that i can smell) so hopefully im wrong with my feelings.Also i think pg brain is setting in, i have been doing and saying some really stupit things yesterday and today and thats not like me, dh is given me strange looks, and saying think you need some sleep even at work i made a lot of mistakes and i never do that!!
Well i hope you are feeling better now jossie, edie whats happening with af??
Hope to hear from you both soon! xxx

Jossie · 30/11/2006 19:50

Hiya
Feeling a bit better today-just tired as I stayed up until 2 o'clock this norning! Hopefully now they've moved I can start to deal with it. They've gone to Thetford in Norfolk. Got told I wasn't my normal self today (apparently I'm normallly smiling a lot, which I would never have said about myself! ). Was speaking to someone at work today and she told me that another colleague has been TTC for a number of years and that her DH is in denial-made me think how lucky I am.
Glad you're feeling sick Lynne (only on here could you get away with saying that!!)
Edie any news on AF?
Better go, the house is a real pigsty and tonight is my only chance to tidy up
