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!

Congratulations to your friends on finally managing to achieve their miracle! And well done you! Maybe the inner calm will stay with you and help infect you with a baby too!!

Youngy - This is awful thing to happen at the family party. I think you were amazingly strong. How lovely to have a newborn cuddle, sounds like your friends really deserved their tiny lo.

Lou - belated happy birthday!! Hope you had a fab day, and saved some cake .

Umbongo - I'll just call all the branches dh, he's annoyed me today lol.

I am so hormonal it's not true. Swinging from all happy and upbeat, to wanting to cry my eyes out, and there're bloody pg women every flippin' where........

Right I need some sambuca shots to keep me going. My company are looking at selling up and I might not have job. The work is not the most interesting but I get to work part time from home so would be gutted. Also, TH his job is looking shaky. Will all be ok but bit stressed now. That's the problem working in finance you sometimes find out things you would rather not know..

Anyways onwards and upwards. I had completely unplanned SFF this morning and it was fun. Go me.

How are the rest of yous? Any BFPs yet?

Ah Lou that sounds rubbish! When will you know? My company has been sold twice, and I kept my job both times, so fingers x'd (sorry no way am I crossing my legs!!) for you.

No bfp here and I'm on cd25 now. Poas stick last night as we went out for a meal and got a bfn, so had a couple of glasses of wine . Really don't think it's our month, and I don't feel pg at all. So now I'm looking at supplements.

Have any of you tried epo or dhea?? Was thinking of giving epo a go for sure, as things can get a little dry at times down there .

Whats epo or dhea?
I get so confused with all the acronyms I sometimes read a whole post wrong!

LOU hope the job sit. isnt as bad as you fear.

youngy epo = evening primrose oil and dhea = dhea!! Lol, meant to be some kind of super strength age repelling miracle according to my googling. If only!!!

Been hooked on the mysterious £20k thread.
Makes baby making small fry in comparason. Luckily I have a trustworthy DH and don't worry what he does with his/our money. (hes as tight as me!!) :)

Its been deleted though. So he claimed it was from shares. Wouldn't be a round amount if it was.....

RTD arrived this morning, I was rather hoping it wouldn't a) so I would be pg again and b) so that I could tell the midwife my last rtd was 20th April!!!! Never Mind. Oddly I don't feel too down about it this month. Don't know what to expect as the mc info says that your first rtd will be different to normal, could be heavier, could be lighter! Once more I sail off into the unknown!!!

[Off to google dhea]

Sorry to hear RTD came again UMBONGO :(

I found my first RTD was different (heavier and longer).
Now my cycle is so regular, (before it was anything from 28-35 days), and I used to have bad period pain, now theres no pain but its much heavier and longer.
Dont know what they did to me with the ERPC but its certainly got me flowing! Sorry TMI.

We're going to be back on the bonking bus soon. My Dh is loving it!

Have a good weekend all. :)

Umbongo am in exactly the same boat as you my first rtd came today, it doesn't seem quite normal so far but was told to expect that. I was also hoping I'd magically conceive without having a period first.

Googled the epo think I will give that a whirl this month.

Kat are you joining us?? We need some fresh blood!

Yes KAT we need a few lucky folk so we can all 'catch' pregnant from each other.

(must bring cake, cheap plonk and dress like a chav)

Kat - yes come and join us! Welcome

Umbongo - sorry rtd go you. Did you google dhea? What do you think?

I'm cd28 and have horrible crampy pains so thinking rtd is on it's way soon. I've got some evening primrose oil to take from cd 1.

Just had lovely roast dinner cooked by dh, bless him, grumpy 4yr old and watching XFactor repeat as missed most of it last night.

Hope you're all having a good weekend.

Pants that is pants.

Need to phone FC and rearrange appointment. Am now thinking I am lucky to have one beautiful beautiful little boy and I don't know any more. Tis just heart breaking. On a more positive note am loving running and can now run 8 mins x 2 with a 5 min walk in between. I now have to run 20 mins with out a break this couch to 5k rocks. Only 4 weeks ago I was struggling with one min run and 90 secs walk in between now look at me.

Still no sign of rtd tentatively cos pretty convinced it's coming!!

Lou I'm trying to pluck up the courage to start running. Is the couch to 5k thing good?? I've heard lots about it, and thought about it lots, but never got round to doing it...

I know what you mean about being very grateful for the children you have. I was thinking that yesterday once dd got over her grumps and was her normal sunny self, bless her. I never dreamt ttc would be so wearing. That's the only way I can describe it!

Pants join us www.mumsnet.com/Talk/big_slim_whatever_weight_loss_club/1015354/AllOnOnePage#21169789here. It gives me something to aim for apart from the obvious baby stuff.

It would help if I could link

Lou I read your post about the FC appointment and thought FC, hmm, Father Christmas?!?! Mind it would be nice if we all had our 2 lines by then!!!!

I am going to try to do some cycling while ds is at pre-school, but tis blowing a gale in our neck of the woods and is threatening to rain tomorrow. Aaaargh, I thought we were supposed to get lovely weather when the kids go back just to annoy them and the teachers that they had to be inside!!!!

Ds asked for a treasure hunt cuddle the other day, don't know why, so I tickled him all over and gave him a huge hug and told him that he was my treasure. (he said no he wasn't he was a M***!!!):)

Welcome Kat sorry you are in the same boat, i'll race you to the next 2 lines!!!:)

Maybe we should set a Xmas baby challenge!!!

Lou thanks for the link, will have a read.

UmBongo I nagged dh to fix my bike (ds 2 nicked my inner tube!)and haven't used it. If I don't get it out of the shed soon he'll murder me lol.

Well rtd go me!! Plus have a headache, so am snuggled on the sofa now to watch Bouquet of Barbed Wire.

As I'm now on cd1 I've just popped an epo pill. Only taking it until I ovulate as it can encourage uterine contractions!!

I also post on another forum (not netmums lol!), and some of the ladies over there taking cough medicine with Guaifenesin as the active ingredient. So Robitussin or similar own brand. Here's the info.

I'm up for Christmas baby challenge!! Any particular Christmas??

PANTS I had heard that about the cough syrup, what is it supposed to do? I mean how does it help make babeeeees, not cure your cough obviously!

Oh I didnt check the link. silly me.

Hi ya all,

I know I'm a bit late with this but hugs Youngie about the family/friend get together - you have a mother like me!!!

I'm def up for the xmas baby challenge. Especially now I've been given metformin for my PCOS - feel like I'm now in with a chance to lose weight & possibly get a baby!!!

Welcome Kat - what tipple do you bring to the floor?

Anyone been down the park lately or is it getting a bit too cold for Dazza & the boys? Maybe thats why we're lacking in the BFPs!!!
