Evening all, back from my dance lesson. I tell you, there's nothing better than gliding (or in my case stumbling) across the floor to a bit of Sinatra!

zippys sorry to hear you're still feeling under the weather. Don't be afraid to make a nuisance of yourself with the drs. You have every right to expect them to diagnose you.

Ilovemarmite79 · 12/08/2010 21:18

Hi - thanks all. I'll try and give you the info to update your list. UCL - 28days. CD 21. I think I've got that right! Confused

felicityFlick · 12/08/2010 21:46

Hi Loves,

I'm back in the land of interneting although think I have missed to much in the last few days to catch up on :( I have read through but have the memory span of a goldfish at the min so I will do my best with what I can remember and start from now :)

Firstly welcome to all of the newbies who have joined recently tante, josie, toriajayne , dessielou and crazydayz :) I think I'll have to call you dayz, crazydayz as I call our lovely crazybutterflylady crazy! Glad to see you have settled in well and added to our love of chatting!

BELLA!! Welcome back lovely- can't wait to hear all about your holiday when you have time. Really pleased that ERTD has arrived and with perfect timing too, just as you were on your way home. Fab!

lanky, come back and tell us more about your festival!! My holiday has been lush thanks! It is nearing the end now- am back at my parents now and head back up to Heathrow on Sunday for my flight back to HK so I'll be back there Monday morning and staright to work. Land at 7.10am and have to go straight from airport to work- I am hardcore me Wink

florin am keeping everything crossed for you sweets after your epic swiathon :) Enjoy your dinner out.

How cute are your rats kaloki?!! Gorgeous names too. Sorry you are still feeling sore and missing out on the SWI AND got thrush. You are in the wars lady :( At least you will hopefully have it sorted before the wedding and can aim for a wedding night baby Wink Hope you've found some cute little boots. It's getting so close now- less than a month!!

Hugs to you zippys xxx Am very Angry about you being given up on by the hospital. Do you have any sot of insurance with your work that could able you to go private to get checked out? Also, have you considered taking an alternative route and seeing homeopath or a nutritionist? Maybe reflexology or acupuncture? I'm so glad that you have your understanding and lovely DP to support you chick. Hope all goes well next week at the follow up appointment.

Glad you're feeling better after your bug mrsW- that sounded nasty. I'm frustrated for you about your body playing tricks on you (unless there is a sneaky BFP lurking there) Do you think you will arrange that doctors appointment?

dancingqueencave how are you faring on your agnus castus? What day are you on now? Sorry if I have missed an update a little bit further back. Also, what fab news that it looks like Mr. Cave will be staying in the UK. Really pleased for you sweet :)

Womanly, Hope you're ok. I totally understand what you mean about feeling down when you're on own. I can get like that too, with no one to distract me. I hope you were able to enjoy a nice relaxing night in. Have their been more signs of FERTD today?

Big hellos to the lovely chatty ladies garden and crazy!! Glad to see you're still both here entertaining away :)

Hope you're feeling better garden I did chuckle at your twins Grin he he. Keeping fingers crossed for your end of August BFP.

crazy I am in love with my CBFM... It is pretty pricey but I got mine on ebay and I think it was worth every penny as it takes all of the guesswork out of wondering when you're going to ovulate as it flashes up on your little screen! I do also like temping too and think if I don't get a BFP this month I will do temping and use my CBFM as well so I can see how they correlate with each other (geek emoticon!)

raspberry I'm with you on the names... I have a word document on my computer that I add names I like to when I hear them. Oh dear!

Glad you had a nice holiday higheels! Hope you're not feeling too bad about going back to work on Monday. I'm quite looking forward to going back and seeing everyone and using my brain a bit but I'm sure the novelty will wear off after the first week as always!

Hi alien can't believe you're going back to Dubai again you lucky thing! You must be so relaxed after soaking up all of that sun :)

Hope you're doing ok evil- I will be joining you on the weight loss from Monday so we can keep each other updated on our progress and hopefully motivate each other!

Hi to kkas, cherry and Ariesand everyone else I've missed out.

News from me, well my beloved CBFM showed a high on day 18 and two peaks on days 19 and 20 and then a last high on day 21. We SWI'd on all of those days as well as 16 and 17 so think all bases are covered- just wait and see time now... urghhh! I'm hoping that going back to HK and back to work will keep me distracted so I won't go too crazy with the symptom spotting (yeah right!)

Lots of love to all xxx

Toriajayne · 12/08/2010 23:32

And tonight DH comes home from his parents with the news that the previously mentioned selfish, spoilt bitch of a princess bride is pregnant again. Awesome. Would love to drown my sorrows in a bucket of wine but pretty sure I'm still ovulating so will instead SWI and picture her eyeballs popping and her ankles swelling as she loses her perfect eight figure be the bigger person and wish her well.

CaveMum · 13/08/2010 07:04

Morning ladies.

Toria sorry to hear that you're feeling down about the news from your ILs. ((((hugs))))

Flick welcome back! You put the rest if us to shame with your long, detailed posts!
I'm on day 49 now, still with no sign of ERTD. I thought the Agnus Castus was working last week as I started getting ERTD cramps, but then nothing.

I'm beginning to wonder if I might have cycled without bleeding, if that is even possible! Looking at my chart I had cramps around day 20 followed by a fall in temps below the coverline, and then a temp dip and rise (possible ovulation) with another round of cramps last week, about day 40. I've had another temp dip yesterday so I'm really not sure what is going on at all!

I'm wondering if I should make a Drs appointment but am worried they'll tell me to come back in a few months.

Ho hum!

CaveMum · 13/08/2010 07:10

Sorry, pressed post too soon.

Flick I may not get the chance to get on here over the weekend as we are taking a flying visit to my folks. Hope you have a good trip back to Hong Kong - you are a hardy soul going straight back to work after such a long haul flight! I never sleep properly on a plane so am zombie-like for days after!

Happy Friday everyone!

MrsWajs · 13/08/2010 08:33

Morning girls, well the Clearblue Tesco Fairy is playing tricks with my mind again.

Decided I would go to the Drs this am and just set the ball rolling, so decided to POAS this morning instead of Saturday and whaddya know . . . . . . . .

a VERY faint BFP appeared - within the 3 minutes!!!!
When I say faint I mean very faint - I don't know what to think??!! s it another evap line or is it a real life baby in my tummy??

Am taking test to Drs and demanding a blood test. Feel a bit pants cus I'm refusing to let myself get excited until I know it's true.

Keep everything crossed for me!

Oh and please let there be one of you here to reply!!!!!xxxx

OP posts:
felicityFlick · 13/08/2010 08:39

Am here mrsW!!!

I think the saying goes 'A line is a line'..... I really don't want to get your hopes up chick but I think that is super promising. Definitely take the test with you to the docs- When is your appointment? EEEEKKKKKKKKK xxxx

felicityFlick · 13/08/2010 08:41

Morning Cave :) Enjoy your weekend. Thanks for the good wishes! I think I must be mad to go straight to work but oh well! xx

zippys · 13/08/2010 08:44

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

oh oh so excited for you Mrswaj- having a shit morning this morning feeling so sick and your news has made me smile so much (and a few wusy tears!!) Grin Grin

A line is a line chick - but I can understand your hesitation. Keeping everything upon everything crossed for you.

MrsWajs · 13/08/2010 08:49

Awwww thanks guys!! I'm actually sitting here dumbfounded, really don't know what to think.

Appointment is at 9.40 - thankfully, I normally say "nah that's too early make it 2pm!", soooooo glad I never today!!

Actually better go and have a shower!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

I'll be back with more news!

And please NOBODY move me on the list just yet i wanna do it myself I want to be 100% sure first!

Holy shit Confused

Congratulations sweetie, that's such brilliant news Grin Grin Grin

Florin · 13/08/2010 08:55

OH MY GOD MRS W! A line is a line! that has really perked up my day so so pleased for you. Hope blood test all goes ok!

zippys · 13/08/2010 08:56

Morning everyone, sorry just had to post to Mrswaj first.

Flick I dont think there is any point going private as there are no consultants left! But I am going to look into reflexology both for sickness and being a barren hag TTC. I agree you are a little mad going straight back to work Grin. Oh I am also v impressed with your catch up post.

Morning Cave I think I had a cycle without bleeding. I had a cycle preciously double my normal cycle so you could be having one of those. Its just so frustrating isn't it!

Kaloki I hope you are feeling a little better today - how are your new babies getting on? Not long till the wedding - how exciting! I still dont have my ring! I think I may kill DP soon if it doesnt appear! I have however seen another dress I have fallen in love with www.bestforbride.com/viewDress/122/MadelineGardner/Bridal.php

Toria it is so hard to take when you hear of people like that getting pregnant. Hope you are feeling a little better about it this morning.

Hi to everyone else, at least its Friday

LankyLegs · 13/08/2010 08:56

Oh is that something in my eye?!?! Virtual tears maybe.... ! BLOODY BRILLIANT MrsWajs!!!

Oh really am sooo ridiculously pleased for you hun!

Good luck at the doctors and report back won't you!!

Another BFP - how brilliant!!

CaveMum · 13/08/2010 09:09

MrsWajs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous!

A line is a line, is a line, is a line!

So happy for you.

[wipes dust from eyes] Wink

gardenpixie · 13/08/2010 09:14

MrsWajs Enormous hurrah! That's just such fab news!

Good luck with the blood test

xx

crazybutterflylady · 13/08/2010 09:15

Morning everyone!

I'm back at work today and bored already (except for my tummy flipping out for mrsw)

flick safe journey back to HK honey, hope work is not too tiring for your first week back. And fingers crossed for the next week or so... when are you going to do your first test??? Thanks for the info on the CBFM. The book I have started reading is really interesting about getting yourself 'ready' to conceive so i think I am going to stick with that until I get really impatient (ok that was last month but ykwim!)

I have started reading that Emma Cannon book and I really like it... even though it gives me much more to obsess over! Have any of you read it? I find it really interesting and it could be helpful for some of you that are having cycle problems. It's half price on Amazon atm.

Happy Friday everyone, hope you all have a lovely day xx

LankyLegs · 13/08/2010 09:18

Hello lovely ladies!

Am sooo pleased about MrsWajs - really it is so lovely to see you get that BFP - am keeping everything crossed for your appt and can not wait to hear about that line getting darker!! Grin Have you any symptoms?

Zippys sorry you are feeling a bit crap and up and down at the moment - I kind of feel the same too. I hope the next person you see about the sickness thing at leasts has some sort of breakthrough about that for you. We just have to keep on staying positive - and maybe you need to get that ring sorted from DP - trust me the bling will make you smile!!

Flickhardcorechick doing the red eye back hey! Crazy girl - but I can imagine you just wanted max time out here. How quickly has it gone?! Pleased you have had a nice time. And well done on the SWI-ing - at least your 2ww will be fuelled with plane journeys and getting back into it back in HK - so hopefully not too time consuming! The festival was good - massive attack were disappointing but there were some other good acts - Plan B, MIA and Norman Jay.I t was fun camping and chilling out - there were 7 of us so it was a laugh. Although the shower when we got home was amazing!! Also drank WAY too much pear cider!! Bleeauggh

Cave you are an inspiration to us all with your dancing. I love Sinatra!! Guess what I went to see last night - Into the Hoods it was awesome - a hip hop dance show - DH and I were amazed at all the body popping and their ability to dance for an hour and a half non stop. I want to start dancing now! Anyway - I hope that your DH's birthday wasn't too lonely and you get to make up for it this weekend Grin

Kaloki sorry you are still feeling rubbish - why are our bodies so shite sometimes? I second the whole natural yogurt thing too - its not pleasant but you have to do what you have to do. Being a woman is fun huh?!

Hello to lovely Florin crazy and garden and all the newbies too! Welcome - everyone is super lovely!

Florin how was your lovely dinner?!

Where is cherry Kkas and everyone else?!

Ok - am really rubbish at keeping up since I have been away - will promise to lurk and catch up more.

I am on CD 31 today and no sign of FERTD - although the cow has been threatening to arrive all week with cramps and mood swings. I am 3 days late I refuse to POAS as I don't feel pregnant at all so am avoiding the disappointment of the stupid stick. Just wish it would arrive so I can get on with the next month!

Pre-emptive congrats MrsW!!!!!

I had a terrible day yesterday - work was awful (I work in admin and in the team meeting, that I wasn't in, apparently it was claimed that admin don't do enough!) and then last night my horse was lame, again! Sad I was feeling sorry for myself so had a bit of a cry in the shower, added 'not getting pregnant first try' to my list of woes just for good measure!

Still a bit down this morning but until I see a BFN I can be a little hopeful still on one count anyway.
