If you've got sore bits wave your turkey basters in the air like you just don't care

[Loujalou]

Our new home. Hopefully by starting this fred I will win a baby too!

Hi ladies, think I might need to wave my pom poms a bit harder to encourage you shaggers to get shagging.

Lou it's my birthday next week I will be 33 on Sunday (classed as an older mum to be on my records) and going to Scotland for a week on Monday.

All of dds stuff is sorted for school just got to sew on the name tags without throwing up! Might need a shot or two as I'm crap at sewing always end up stabbing myself.

Really intrested in all this talk of dampness, how does it affect ttfc, I never felt too damp myself, only when someone got preggers ( without trying poked it in once give it a waggle and hey presto ) and asked me why I was leaving it so long to have no 2!

Am 32 on Tuesday. August baby posse.

Will investigate the DAMP thing, when I see the lady of all damp knowledge.

I'm just on the last few days of my 2ww. Can I start sypmton spotting?

um... none ... not a good start!

Have great hols... I know of a new baby down Cornwall, might need a proper cuddle. (if you can get past the security)!!

Hi ladies,

I'm in the pit & not cos of RTD! Someone I went to school with & just portrays the perfect life has announced she's pg! Posted scan photos on FB!!!! I've now hidden all her posts cos I just don't need it being shoved in my face!!!

SOOOOOOO UNFAIR!!!!!!! Why aint it bmy turn??? Am I in the wrong queue & if I change queue will this one go quicker????

With you in the pit fairy my friend just announced they're expecting twins. Thats doubly jealous.

Bah humbug and all that. No sypmtons, only a few days til the witch arrives.

Budge up in the pit, I brought some toffee popcorn and some fudge. Might as well may use of my stretchy waisted trousers for fat not baby :(

Sorry to all those in the pit. I am feeling better mostly at the moment, even got a cookbook out to cook some new tasty meals as I was bored with my cooking!

Although I did have an irrational moment yesterday when I chucked the blue plastic bag that the midwife gave me with all the crap useful information in, into the wheelie bin. Then thought why am I crying, it is a PLASTIC BAG!!!!

Am allegedly trying to loose weight. Went for a walk for an hour last night, then came home and dh fed me maltesers! No fair, I had to eat them!! (did have a bit more exercise later tho!!)

Don't blame you for hiding your schoolfriends posts FairyG, she sounds like the sort who will post every twinge and annoy everyone!

Oh and I was 37 last month so that makes me ancient I think!

I hide lots of people on FB as I don't want to see their scan photos, updates etc etc its easier that way. Am just waiting for my SIL to announce she is pregnant too then I will sob for hours and hours and hours.

FiveAlive I have started running and although I am not doing amazingly I am getting fitter, I hope. My legs hurt. In fact I might even buy some running shoes. Not words I ever thought I would be muttering but gets me out the house and fitter. Malteasers are all air and there is no calories in there.

I have got my Jamie Oliver Ministry of Food cookbook out and trying some new things as my cooking is coring me too. Its actually got simple but tasty stuff in it, which is good for me.

37, pah thats nothin!
Try heading towards 42, its depressing, I can tell ya!

However, I had a fab day today and I'm so happy. Happy kids = happy mum! and the sun shone :)

Still no RTD , but def no symptoms.

Have a fab weekend everyone!

Youngy test test test!!

Lou thats the cookbook I have been using!! The meatballs, spag bol, sweet and sour pork and chicken stroganoff have all been very tasty, although I did cheat a bit with ds and put mini sausages in the S&S pork for him! He liked he others tho. Quite easy to follow the recipes though and far more tasty than most of my usuals!!!!!

Yes oldie - TEST!! We need a BFP on this thread pronto.

I should be dancing the night away at my friends' wedding tonight but instead I have been cleaning exploding nappy contents off O's car seat cover

Hi gals,

Sorry I've been such a crap poster lately, I've been in the pit , and it wasn't even ertd!! Everything just got to me a bit, ok quite lot. Lots of pg friends and sil's, and sil with newish baby, and it's a bit hard atm for some reason.......but then you'll all know how I feel! Plus, I turn bloody 40 next month, I can literally feel my ovaries shrivelling I swear.

Anyway, I'm cd 20/21 now, so on the 2ww. Stupid symptoms include ridiculously sore and swollen tits, achey/crampy belly on and off, a bit of darkish brown discharge the other and just being a bitch as usual. Swear I had all these symptoms last month though. I've re-joined slimming world, so can't even stuff my face with crisps, chocoloate and wine

youngie test!!!
bicnod hope little O is feeling better today, poor little thing.

Effing RTD arrived

Bollocks!!

Bollocks indeedy. You will need to keep putting out and that is a pain in the arse.

Fivealive today we are having the meatballs from MoF. Have done all the prep and now need to cook it. Yummy. Will let you know how it goes. His sweet potato and chorizo soup is lush and so is the curried cod.

Youngie Thats just bloody greedy having twins!!!!!

We hear ya harased!!!

Got my hosp app a week today so hopefully this is the end to the stupid amounts of bleeding I'm having! I'm sick & tired of being abnormal!!!!! All I want is a bloody baby.

Ooh read on a thread the other day that if you started your periods at an early age then that makes your ovaries & eggs old!!! That sunk me even further into the pit cos I was 11 when I got my first!!!!! Anyone heard this before?

How's everyone's bank holiday? It bloody cold!!!

Never heard that starting periods young, but do seem to think rightly or wrongly (pls let it be wrongly!) that you only have a certain number eggs and then that's it .

Well I've just spent the evening sewing in name tags to dd's uniform, she starts school on the 13th . Done a shed load of gardening today!! Pruning is very therapeutic, but not sure the bushes would agree lol. Been a nice sunny day here (hampshire),nice and warm but def has that autumnal feel to it.

Autumnal indeed and ruddy huge spiders coming into the house to freak me out.

We had a massive spider last night, scared me to death!

Me and dd jumping on the sofa screaming, and dh pretending to be brave and catching it in a glass. He's not that keen either but has to look brave compare to us screaming girls lol.

A day in the office today .........

Right.....

I was at a big family & friend get together catching up with folk I haven't seen in years, when a friend of the fam's came over.
In a loud booming voice said " congratulations, sorry its a bit late etc, blah blah, blah, "

I was thinking 'what is she on about?'

Friend : do you know if you are having a girl or boy this time?

I shrivelled into my chair and whispered ' I lost it'

friend: Eh?

Me : I guess mum didnt tell you I MC in may then?

Friend totally humbled and apologetic : Oh I'm sorry etc etc.

I just wanted to disappear, (firstly punching my mum hard in the face). I only told one friend and very reluctantly my mum I was pg in april. Less than a week later I MMC. She in that short week told EVERYONE, but neglected to tell them I had MMC.
I was wild, humiliated and pissed off.
I then got comments of "oh are you having another one?"
"NO I'M JUST FUCKING FAT OK?" ( I didnt actually say that bit I just wanted to shout it to everyone. )

My blood is still simmering, and I just cant say anything to my mum (she has the thickest skin like a bloody rhino, and a 'oh well' attitude)

Can I feel crap and eat myself silly in the pit?

Big hugs Youngy that is crappy. Calories don't count on days like this.

Its my birthday and calories don't count then either so why I am going on runs and eating grapes. AHHHHHH!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LOUJALOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOU

Look I baked a HUGE calorie free virtual chocolate fudge cake, with clotted cream and fudge sauce.
And lashings of ginger beer!

Hope you had a good day!

Happy Birthday To Loujalou, Hope you have had a good day, can I share your cake? Thanks. I hope you have been spoiled rotten all day (rather than the usual first 5 minutes of the day!)

Oh Oldie Its bad enough dealing with everyone upto and including the postie saying isn't it time etc, etc, which you can choose to shrug off or tell the truth to, but to have that to deal with all the time AAAAaaaaargh! I am really sorry you have to go through all that, I have only had to tell someone once so far that I had mcd who knew I was pg (well after the first heap of people!) I think I would loose the plot on a far more regular basis if I had that to cope with, especially 3 months down the line!

Pants I hope the day in the office wasn't too bad, I have to admit to being a dinosaur SAHM so I don't have to deal with office politics as well as everything else! Hope you are OK. Well done on the pruning, my mum has a tendency of naming branches, then chopping them off! She finds it even more therapeutic that way!

I had a cuddle with a newborn. I wasnt jealous at all, I was impressed tho, (I had forgotten how beatifully made tiny babies are!)

The reason I wasnt jealous AT ALL was beacause this teeny baby was a long awaited IVF miracle. After MC IVF twins :( (I don't know how they coped with that) this baby was so precious.

I feel I have nothing to complain about, my moans each month at RTD time are nothing in comparason. I was awash with joy at seeing someone with a miracle baby. :)

I will have to sit and calm this happiness in me down... most unususal for me!
