Course it was funny PV

Right I'm off to collect DD's from nursery. Have a good wknd everyone and I'll catch up with you on Monday as we have friends down this weekend with their 2 DD's who are the same age as my two so we are all off to see Charlie & Lola in Weston Playhouse! Grin

Hi everyone,

I'd like to join in please. Smile

I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks at the beginning of June. It would've been my first baby.

I got married two weeks ago and while we were on honeymoon DH and I decided we were ready to start trying again so right now I'm on day 3 of the two week wait!

I'm determined not to POAS until I'm past the point at which I miscarried. I'd used a First Response test last time so knew very early on that I was pregnant and had really grown attached to our little bean by the time I lost it. I've learned my lesson!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to all of the BFPs I know are coming this groups way! Smile

StarflowerGirl · 20/08/2010 16:02

Oooh actually I think I got my stats wrong! Blush They should be:

StarflowerGirl TTC#1 cycle 1 UCL 28 CD17

I'm on my first cycle of TTC this time round but my 2nd cycle since the MC.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 20/08/2010 16:39

Hello starflower - I'm sorry you find yourself here but you're very welcome.

Congrats on getting married, here's hoping you caught lots of lucky babydust on your honeymoon!

DachshundsRule · 20/08/2010 18:21

welcome starflower

impressed at your POAS willpower - don't think I'd be strong enough to do that!

congrats on the wedding and surviving the honeymoon - honeymoons are dangerous things! :)

now, who's got the fish supplies - i think i need an intervention. i have snuffles and i was imagining a funny taste in my mouth earlier. i'm sure there wasn't REALLY a funny taste in my mouth but i convinced myself there was. sitting in a really important meeting as we clear our half year numbers with the auditors next week and i couldn't stop trying to analyse whether there was a funny taste in my mouth. clearly that was WAY more important than the meeting. so when people asked me questions i just stared at them blankly and said 'ummm' a lot. NOT a good look when I'm supposed to be in charge of all the figures! Blush Boss v definitely NOT impressed. Definite haddocking required methinks.

Oh sod it, I'm fed up with being good. I'm going to have a glass of wine in real life tonight. (Actually maybe I won't - but I will tomorrow when the X Factor starts again. DH hates it but I like Simon Cowell's evilness)

DachshundsRule · 20/08/2010 18:43

the wine won.

i am officially drinking a glass of wine, putting my blackberry away for the weekend and getting a takeaway for dinner rather than cooking.

:)

babydust to everyone.

hugs to all those that need them.

wine and chocolate for all.

so, about crashing a take that gig to give birth... any more room in the coach?

MamaPower · 20/08/2010 18:51

Penguins OMG! High drama, can't believe you missed it!
Here is a quick round up...
Siobhan drops Jessica's DH (Mark) in it, by letting out that she'd handed over £10k for the IVF that it turns out got 'swallowed up in the household accounts'!! Jessica goes into melt down and then they leave you on a cliff hanger as you are left to think that she thinks she's pg anyway!!
Trudi confess's to dh that she slept with the saviour of her business but he couldn't give a damn because he's 'in love' with Katie and that much Trudi figures bit still has no idea it's Katie he's in love with!
Siobhan's ex was on the verge of telling her what a mistake he'd made when the mistake walked in the room and all of a sudden he was booked on a plane to the states for good!
Katie decides to get away from Richard and heads to the train station, he is trying to stop her leaving and ends up crashing the car...is he dead? Who knows!,
It all ends next week so you can't miss it!

Hi Starflower sorry you are here and welcome to the mad house!

Have a great weekend all x

youremindmeofthebabe · 20/08/2010 20:06

blimey, this thread is the fastest one I've ever been on!

HUGE Congratulations to battery, can I get a woop woop! Am sticky bean waltzing, jigging and tango-ing for you!

Hi starflower, I like your name it sounds really ethereal. This place is fun, and chaoticGrin

Oh my lord, X-factor starts tomorrow daschs?? The sad bitch that I am, am meant to be going out, and am now wondering if i can cancel I love it.

prettyV I've missed your crazy posts! it seems like ages

velvet don't really know, I think i had lots of wet CM this month, but am not that sure I had any EWCM. Maybe you made up for me!Was it over 48 actual hours? iyswim.

So, am having a solitary glass of wine after the day from hell, encompassing people backing out of things I've paid for, insurance companies, more mice and troublesome toddlers. I am off to find some random bumsex threads to cheer me up

Moofold · 20/08/2010 20:20

Aha! Battery hurrah! That really is bloddy brilliant all given you are in different countries, hats off. You see, Mystic Moof was right afterall. Now, MrsPV, let me look into my crystal ball......

Not even attempting a namecheck with all the action on here today. Hello to newbies and everyone else. Dasch - cheers mate, I'm away to enjoy a glass too.

DachshundsRule · 20/08/2010 21:02

yay babe - let's be x factor buddies

and yes, it's official, it starts tomorrow

thoroughly agree with cancellation tactics Wink

takeaway pizza and red wine, crap tv - bring it on! :)

moof hope you're enjoying the wine!

LadyBee · 20/08/2010 21:04

Hooray! I knew it, I knew it well done battery!

Just quickly as am a train to cocktail-land, remind me how we know whether it's ewcm or old spermy-sperm? DH 'forgot' to use a condom last night and I am feeling a bit panicky about some of my tissue offerings (sorry sorry). Meh, I'm pretty sure we're past that window...just book me in for some haddock action in 14 days will you?

Ooh whoever it is that's going to Charlie & Lola I expect a full report, we're booked for sept in Greenwich.

LadyBee · 20/08/2010 21:07

I am not a train.
I am on a train.

hairytriangle · 20/08/2010 21:33

Wow Batteryhen HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! so chuffed for you!

digitalgirl · 20/08/2010 22:56

Ah, we have X factor fans amongst us. Was so much more exciting last year when I had insider information. Do any of you remember the girlband, miss frank, from last year got through to the live shows. The gobby one is my Dsis.

hairy loving the symptoms update. I refuse to inspect my boobs. Ds pummels them enough on a daily basis for me to know that nothing has changed.

ladybee can't help you I'm afraid. I'm forever confusing the two. You could always check if your cervix is open!

PinkFondantFancy · 20/08/2010 23:36

Hello all! Sorry, no chance of being able to name check-seriously large amount of action on here today!! Just wanted to say, ladybee I was pondering exactly the same thing today!! DH is working abroad next week during the critical swi window! Need to put in enough groundwork this weekend!! :D

randomimposter · 21/08/2010 08:32

battery TERRIFIC news - so pleased for you - your military planning paid off. Here's to the dullest 8 months ahead.

mamap - brilliant synopsis; am sad there's only one left.

Welcome starflower - sorry you're here. Congrats on wedding!

ladybee if you WERE a train, DS would want to move in with you... have heard that theory before on an over friendly womb - opposite to Monica in friends (!) - think I qualify for that too :(

Can I join the XFactor party? I LOVE Simon Cowell - not in a sexual way, far too camp for me - but I just think he's top banana.

Likely to disappear without warning as broadband transfer legends Talk Talk are SO efficient... and could be off until September in new place. So don't think I've abandoned you!

Squeeze for all who need it. x

PinkFondantFancy · 21/08/2010 09:20

Hey jolls good luck with the move! Hope everything goes v smoothly.

Welcome starflower sorry you're here :( DH wants me to test late too but I don't think I've got the willpower!!

LottieCrump · 21/08/2010 11:33

Hello all!
It's the MNter formally known as Julia1969 but have name changed due to risk of exposure!

Wow there's been so much to catch up on.

Jolls - belated hugs for you. Nothing I can say that hasn't been said but we're all here for you and though stressful currently maybe a start in a new home will be a good thing. Good luck for the move but don't be gone too long. X

Dachs - again I can't add anything that the others haven't said but I'd like to reiterate that you did it once, let's all keep hoping that you can do it again - why not? We all know that there's more mystery to conception than medical and scientific 'fact'. Please don't leave us unless you really want to, you is a top bird.

Battery - Wahooo! Huge congrats!

I had that virus thing AGAIN on my laptop but this time really badly and because I am crap at techno things on perpooters I messed it up real bad and 'im indoors had to order a clean up disk. Doh! Beware the evil Anti Vir Pro Solution virus.

RTD got me earlier this week so my '4 times in 3 days' during OV SWI efforts did nothing for me. Bit down about it though desperately trying to manage myself out of that .. .time's a ticking.

Am contemplating buying some progesterone cream. Somebody on here was using it - who was it? I'm thinking of using it during LP only. Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Hello to everyone else and newbies. I'm not even out of my pyjambos yet - what a horrid grey day ... what happened to the summer?

DachshundsRule · 21/08/2010 12:14

Not going to be as domesticated this weekend as i was last weekend. Takeaway pizza tonight. No washing to do, kitchen clean already. Hmm.... so what do i do as displacement activity this weekend? Maybe clean the oven?

hairy consider yourself haddocked.

DachshundsRule · 21/08/2010 12:16

sorry -typo in previous post - should read by some miracle rather than my

makes no sense at all how it's written

really must get better at this typing malarkey Blush

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 21/08/2010 13:21

yay, battery!! YAY!

LottieCrump · 21/08/2010 13:27

Dachs - of course you're in shock. I can't believe that they'd just phone you up and tell you that kind of news actually. Do you automatically get a follow-up consultation to get a full explanation and ask questions?
Displacement activity can often be helpful in times of stress or unease but don't hide from us here will you?
I mean, I know that you know this but you can express anything on here - you don't have to wail or be brave or you can be either or both or anything in between. Please don't hide ...

lucysnowe · 21/08/2010 13:43

welcome starflower

Izzy this may help with the temping:

www.justmommies.com/articles/bbt-charting.shtml

velvet I don't think it's possible to ovulate twice - sounds like your body had two attempts though and succeeded the second time around - fingers crossed!

I actually am having a similar thing at the mo because I seem to be veering between creamy (ie non-fertile) cm and EWCM - literally within hours - and it's really pissing me of because it seems as though I'm trying to ovulate but can't quite manage it. Either than or everything has gone haywire. Angry

Talking of EWCM, erm, ladybee I think the book says you're meant to pretty much clean yourself out down below and then try again. Not great I know.

And that ends my mucus news! Smile

LottieCrump · 21/08/2010 13:48

Oh I've got another question . . .does anyone know which brand of cough mixture is best for increased EWCM?

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 21/08/2010 14:06

Teach me for not paying attention...........mammoth post ahoy, think I might need some snacks close by
