[PrettyVacant1]

I have the Air Hockey and Ping pong tables on order.
I thought it being the first day of term we should move in and make ourselves at home.

Oh my god Hairy that's wonderful!
I checked in after work and didn't see any news - glad I came back on tonight. You must be chuffed (and hopefully not too terrified). Bon courage lady!

hmm, no baby for me this month, AF turned up this morning. No surprise there given I was in India at the crucial moment but still a smidgeon of disappointment.

I think appt is on the 18th, but will call tomorrow to see whether I can get a duplicate or just get them to tell me.

Caribou lovely to see you - glad you're feeling a bit calmer this time around. Hope you can keep that going as time goes on.

congrats Hairy, glad I looked now after work, thats great.

so sorry AF got you LadyBee

Woo hoo Hairy ;)
I'm uber chuffed for you!
Well it looks like I'll be recruiting for a new cycle buddy.
Not that I'm complaining.
No experience necessary, monthly pass for looney bus provided.
Updiffment guaranteed.
See Viv & Hairy for references.

Sorry Droid got you LadyB

Spesh wave to PrittyPritty and Moo and how's that there Jols doing?? Ooo and to Urd and Digit long time no see!

xx

caribou I saw that too! Bleurgh. theres nothing like a half naked octogenarian(ish) to put you off your coffee and almond croissant.

As i was saying on the other thread, I've been a bit lazy over ttc this month. I am on day 17, so could start again tonight.. I suppose..

Are you testing soon, mrs? I am bored over here.

Do you all know that October 15th is babyloss remembrance day? see this website which, if you click on the right side awareness day takes you to a site you can buy ribbons, and tells you when to light a candle in remembrance.

I've bought multiple a ribbon.

I know a couple of you know this, cos I've seen it on FB

hi all
wayhay to hairy - terrific news - hope all stays well.

Still a way off feeling jollyJollsterville. But Rome wasn't built in a day and all that.

Hope you all have splendid weekends xx

aaaaaahhhhhh

Can I just come here and sink down into a nice warm fluffy down-filled bean-bag type thing?

So. There's another week done then. Bed arrived. Af arrived. If we could leave it there then I think I'd be quite happy but no, MIL will arrive tomorrow .

Jolls, hello you. Are you back at work or not yet?

So nice thinking of Hairy and her BFP, and Magic and her double-trouble. Caribou, you too m'dear.

Goodness, anyone would think I'd been at the liquor cabinet. I've not, really. Just feeling quite optimistic and, well, ok. For a nice change.

Have nice weekends all!

hey ladyb; don't get paid to work, as stay at home and get run ragged by 2 year old. In many ways I think the routine and discipline of work would be very good for me right now. But hey.

nothing from hairy for a bit - hope all ok.

Need to pull finger out and decide what to do about TTC... task for the week. Will be back to share... whether you like it or not :)

Squeeze to all who need it, marine wallop for those who are being mental...

Morning all

Jolls sorry to hear you're still having a rubbish time. Big squeeze to you.

Just to keep you company on the sharing front,last month there was no S at all either with or without I so not much hope on the upduffed options.

LadyBee hope the MIL visit isn't too stressful. How long is she staying?

Magic how are you and your beans?

Waves to Digital, YRMOTB, BB, Viv, Caribou, Lottie, Battery, owl and Urd
and of course Mrs PV How you doing crazy lady?

anyone heard from cheepz recently?

Bee you old softie! Good stuff about feeling optimistic, I'm sure that's half the battle. What with your new bed and all maybe this is the month ;)

Jolls what are you thinking pal? To give it a miss for a while? Are you waiting until they do tests or just thinking that maybe waiting would be good for your wellbeing? After so many hard knocks its not suprising you aren't just jumping back in the saddle again, I'm sure you'll know what the best thing is for you x

Freezing I don't like your chances for this month then! Sometimes I really couldn't be arsed either. There's always next month mate. Cheepz has been away sunning herself and having a well deserved holiday but is back to earth with a bump today so will probably be along here soon.

Nothing to report here. Still biding my time til the scan next week and jumping from great optimism to the depths of despair with alarming frequency....

freezing,my chances this month will be the same as yours, I think. (over-sharing coming up) Only 2xS, one on day 9 and one on day 18 ish..

Ladybee glad you're feeling a bit more chipper. It's a bumpy road, for sure. MIL gone yet?

mrsPV are you due a test soon?

viv well done on the run! am proud of you for doing it, I know how tits up my running training goes when I've been updiffed.

jollster Sorry you're feeling low. Hugs for you.

best be off for now. Got shed loads of work to do before 5.30speak soon all.

Not free until Thursday - have taken tomorroww off work to do sightseeing, normally have Wednesday off anyway. And then off she goes to Paris and we get to start the shag-a-thon, hopefully just in time

Freezing - well, there's more to life than TTC right? It's probably better to know that there's no chance than to have done it once (or twice as we did) and to be sort of hoping while mostly knowing there would be v little chance. I bet that you still have one moment of symptom-spotting though

Ah yes, jolls, once I got back into the office, despite it feeling very 'unreal' and definitely pointless, it did give me a chance to think about something else rather than the shit my reproductive life seemed to be.

Speaking of..I made the mistake of reading the 'gurgle.com' newsletter that popped up into my inbox today - all about celebs who have used IVF. Most of whom appear to have used it after multiple miscarriages, including Emma Thompson who has PCOS. Causing my brain to leap into 'I've got PCOS, oh my god I'm never going to have another baby and we can't afford IVF'. Which caused me to want to kick myself because
a) PCOS hasn't stopped me conceiving yet.
b) I don't actually believe we HAVE to have another baby, we just WANT to have one, and
c) I should grateful for not having to decide this in order to have a child at all. And I am.

Oh, in other news, I have broken my specs and am wearing contacts so look way hotter, but have headaches at the end of the day as I am blind-like-a-mole and contacts and PCs don't mix well for me. Boo. Although, did feel quite pleased with myself for buying some breakage protection last time I got them made, AND was able to find the policy, so the re-make is free. Hoorah.

Hello all!

Just a quick pop in to tell you that today my HCG is at 359 :) :) :)

and I have a 'lovely' progesterone level!

Having bloods again st the Epu in the morning.

Another hurdle over! :)

Excellent news hairy!

ladybee it's far too early on in the game for you to be worrying about all that. secretly I worry about it too

Nothing much to report here, af due next Monday/Tuesday. Temps looking nice and steady so far, despite having a fever riddled toddler snoring and sweating all over me every night for the past 4 nights

Expecting progesterone withdrawal pessimism to set in by the end of the week. But at the moment am still hopeful that our 4th attempt of well-timed swi will have worked.

Fab news hairy!

Hello all . Posting and running but will try to catch up tomorrow.

hcg has more than doubled and is 980 and they will scan me next Friday!!

They said highly unlikely to be ectopic :)

That's brillant news Hairy

HULLLLOOOO!!

Good news Hairy and fingers crossed this is your month Digit

Ladybee that sucks about your glasses but well done for taking out breakage protection! It never even crossed my mind about breakage protection, have only ever broken one pair, brand new Chanel rimless jobbies the morning me and DH moved house and I had packed all my contacts away Try not to panic unnecessarily about the whole reproductive side of things, it's terribly hard but don't sweat it honey unless you really need to x

How you holding up Moo? And Jolls how you feeling lovely?

Big waves to YRMOTB,

Thanks for asking Freezing All fine with the Magicbeans both thrashing around in there yesterday already competing for the limelight while the sonographer did the measurements etc. So complete relief after I had a total meltdown on Tues night that everything was going wrong - anxiety clearly induced by the scan, the fact that it is fast approaching 17 weeks and I am taking cyclogest which made me feel like my waters were leaking IYKWIM????

17 weeks already? Good lord. Hurrah for the dancing Magic16Beans :)

Excellent news, Hairy :)
