[Beattiebow]

I've started a new thread!

Mornin girlies

Right I'm off to airport in a mo (all on my own travelling how decadent !) I will be away for a week and don't know if I will have any access to Internet while away so just wanna say I Am gonna miss you all and I am keeping fingers crossed for you Beattie and Diege and Hippy (Way to go girl!!!!!!)
I am on hubbies ipad coz my laptops down so not ofay on the work ins of this ??
Welcome back HIPPY glad you had a great time ......
DIEGE please try not to test again until at least 10 or 11dpo it will do your head in x
GUM have a great hols come back all refreshed and relaxed....
ITALIAN your strength and patience is amazing you are now officially the GURU of the pack we will approach you when we need calmness and wiseness

You do realize BEATTIE that you started the thread and so got the BFP (blimey must be something in it)

GG thanks for the muffins I prob won't get the bikini on now

Muclove to you all and signing of for now xxxxx

Love to everyone else xxx

beattie - where are you?????? Hippy's voice echos around the snug!!!

gum wow you lucky duck. That place is lovely. Even better than my caravan in west wight

Defo try to get some SWI in on hols. it worked for alba.

Do you want to borrow the Simpsons boxset????

Our tumble dryer has stopped working, I have loads of washing and the woman at the local launderette scares the shit out of me!!!

Come on Hippy, you're a grown woman - get yourself to the Launderette.

i think she hates me because before when our last tumble dryer packed up and i had to go there i made the mistake of asking what coinage the machines took and of course i should have said, 'Ow much f*cking money is this gonna cost me then?????
I think the word coinage was a step too far for her

muchlove crossed posts. if you're still there - have a good hol. xx

yes jolly started the last thread and got a BFP which sadly didn't work out for her. (how are you doing matey?)

and now beattie started this thread and might just be getting a BFP.

Bags I start the next one......

I found lia on another thread and she had a successful 12 week scan and is now over 14 weeks. unfortunately, she seems to be feeling very ill with this pregnancy. And is having a rough time of it. If you read this lia I hope you are soon feeling better.

Popped into the bakers this morning, and picked us up <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=petanqueandpastis.typepad.com/my_weblog/images/05_072306_la_boulangerie.jpg&imgrefurl=petanqueandpastis.typepad.com/my_weblog/villages/&usg=__tqgsC-rc5H82qyGuCw23Yv8-bgU=&h=300&w=400&sz=64&hl=en&start=0&sig2=aUDLEgGu_UHGqvgdYQZ7QA&zoom=1&tbnid=ksrtD8FzKWmW3M:&tbnh=127&tbnw=161&ei=EnegTMihCYiAswbg763mDg&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dboulangerie%2Bpatisserie%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1276%26bih%3D523%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=578&oei=EnegTMihCYiAswbg763mDg&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0&tx=104&ty=96" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these May as well make the best of being in France.

Still no AF - my counting is crap - got the diary out, and she's not actually due till tomorrow or Wed at a push... don't feel pg at all anyway... though all the period type pain since fri is a bit of a mystrey...

Hippy I remember when 3 times a day was quite normal... and 7 or 8 was a bit of a sess...

BB well - what are ya doing with that baton?

Hippy emerges with cakes around her face.....

Thanks for those sas - delicious!

Blimey, i really am gonna have to get OFF here and go to the scary launderette. I'll just wait 5 more mins and see if we have a heatwave .

Lol at 'coinage' Hippy ; I can just picture her Dot Cotton face...
So when might you test? I am thinking theend of the week? Af due here on Friday, but if lp has lengthened may be late(r).
Gum your holiday destination looks idyllic - hope the weather is good for you; might be a bit nippy if not
Muchlove enjoy your week - where is it that you're heading?
Sassy those pastries were deleicious, but I really shouldn't have after my earler indulgence
I will be strong and resist any further testing - will just make due with staring at my old daz white pee sticks...what has my life become???
Will update the list as I think we're a day behind?

italiangreyhound - waiting for May

Went to Launderette - new lady there - very helpful and nice! See, it's always best to face your fears

I will not be testing early diege Hippy puts on a stern face!

I'm only on about day 20 and I ov'd quite late this month (about day 13/14) I love the fact that I can't quote exactly when I ov'd etc. I feel much more relaxed about the whole thing this month.

Anyway, I'll test if no AF by about day 28 and if my boobs feel like they are actually yours diege.

Don't let me test early please......(but you can if you like)... I saw all the comments about me being away and not able to tgell you all off

SASSY - I think you may be a little confused (preggo-brain perhaps???) Let me just give you a few reminders:

SassySusan Wed 01-Sep-10 17:30:14: "Hello all xx Well I have my AF"

SassySusan Mon 13-Sep-10 19:54:40: "So I got a pos opk on cd14"

SassySusan Fri 17-Sep-10 14:26:36 : "This is interesting though... althought the day of my mid cycle pain moves and arhas been cd13, 14 or 15 - my cycle is always 26 days long - that shouldn't happen hould it?"

SassySusan Mon 27-Sep-10 11:54:45: "Still no AF - my counting is crap - got the diary out, and she's not actually due till tomorrow or Wed at a push... don't feel pg at all anyway... though all the period type pain since fri is a bit of a mystrey..."

Sorry but by my calculations you are on cd28 thus 2 days late and counting (unless the 26 day cycle was a typo) in which case I will stand corrected. Do you know the french for pregnancy test??????

muchlove - hope you have a fab holiday.

Got to go make dinner now, but will pop back later.

hello all !

I've not been around for a while, but after a gentle nudge from the lovely Hippy I have come to tell you that, even though it's very very early days, I am four weeks and a day pregnant!

I had HCG done today and will have to wait til Thursday for the results.

I am both overjoyed and overemotional and very worried, but am trying to keep positive.

So... Forty two, and conceived twice in six months ... but lets just hope this one sticks

Congrats Hairy fantastic news

Hairy Wonderful news - fingers crossed for you

GG Thanks for that - for some reason I'm so tired I can't think Fell asleep this afternoon - can't think the last time I did that But I suspect I am just a bit stressed out and relaxing now...

I thought I got the pos on opk on Tues 14th, but stand corrected if it was the Monday... Anyway, I had my mid-cycle pain the following day at Work - you are right, actually - cos I remember it being a Tuesday cos I went out for dinner with a friend that night and had to go home early to dtd. So in the past I've got af 14 days post pain - so by that reckoning I should probably have got af today.... but could still turn up tomorrow

I forgot to take any poas - just brought plenty of tampons.... so I can't test anyway... will see if af turns up tomorrow... Was convinced it was on its way... and have been drinking like a frish

Hairy - huge congratulations on your BFP that is great news.

Sassy - good to hear that you are getting some good relaxing time in, and carry on drinking, will not be doing any harm at this stage even if you are.... shhhh, I won't say any more.

Hairy Big congratulations.

Diege sorry to hear it.

Hippy Not three in a row! [relieved emotion!]

Thanks Gum I don't think I am as patient as one would hope! I got a message by text at the weekend that a friend had had baby number three. It was a bit vague, not obvious who it was from etc and it just pissed me off. I know how sad that makes me sound and I am pleased for her in a kind of 'I'd rather not know!' sort of way!

I spent the morning helping at a baby type sale (no they were not selling babies) and although I tried to shrug it off - I felt fed up most of the day. Went swimming with DD (without DH) and realised the last time I had done that she had been a pre-schooler (about 18 months ago) and it was a pre-school swim class with baby toys etc in the water. This time she was a demanding girl of almost 6 who almost tried to drown me in the small pool by pulling me under the water! Sometimes her behaviour is just a bit challenging and although I love her to bits I get frustrated. In the evening we had a fun food event at church and I felt a lot better.

I think I am now realising DD is not really serious about wanting a hamster and rather than feeling relieved I am feeling sad!

My period still has not turned up and I keep wondering if I should do another test but how many times can I pee on a stick before I get the message. Anyway, there it is. I feel a bit sad at the moment, I know it will pass and in the grand scheme of things I have nothing to complain about but I think it is hormones!

Testing day for me is Wednesday (morning) but due to my iritible bowl I feel very bloated and I caught someone staring/looking at my tummy today so I know people think i look preggers!

Anyway, love to all, Beattie are you hiding!

Sorry that should read weigh-in day not testing day!

Ahh Sassy tis indeed looking good for you I'd say
Italian, was that a Freudian slip with 'testing' day? Do you have any tests to hand? (not that I'm advocating testing of course...)
Off to bed now - have resisted testing today so v.pleased. Hoping that there will be more freshly baked pastries for my breakfast here tomorrow - great with my morning coffee at work
Oh and massive congrats to Hairy - how could I forget! That's brilliant news

gosh this all looks a bit positive round here! Good luck all
congrats Hairy -I was on another thread with you although under my other mn name
sassy sounds good!
my eldest goes to university this week so i am REALLY feeling old.....I know what would cure that but hey ho!
day 10/11 for me - on a 30 day cycle ...aargh

Hairy - Huge congratulations. I was wondering what you've been up to - now I know! Did you do anything different this time?

Sassy, things are sounding quite positive. Can't you get a French test? P-lease? How exciting to get a bfp in a foreign country!

Beattie, where are you love? Are you celebrating?

I've hurt my neck again, bloody hell, I feel like a geriatric! I'm hoping it'll feel better tomorrow. I have to get ready for all that SWI!

Sassy, those pastries were divine! I don't know if they are part of the fertility diet...I still haven't been approved for the 21 day challenge.How long does it take FGS?

Anyway...have to go to town this morning. Getting my hair done - touching up the grey bits. At least I can try to appear young enough to get pregnant!

Hi all, no I'm not celebrating I'm afraid. My positive test disappeared and changed to a negative, and af arrived yesterday.

am having the 3 day test this week though, and am thinking of going to see someone private (although i'm not sure what they'll tell me).

I'm not sure about progesterone, but E the acupuncturist has said that Agnus Castus is good - who here is taking it?

sassy baton is back with you I'm afraid.

And GG, Diege and Hippy?

40somemum I ov'ed last time at day 20 - that feels a long way away for me now...

Beattie sorry for your result.

Gum hope neck is better soon.

Feel silly for getting so upset last night. My lovely sis called and made me feel better. I'm just a wus getting upset over nothing.

Love to all

BB awww poo. Not fair, not fair...

(Picks up baton nonchantantly) Kept off the juice last night (just in case) and still no AF- still cramping though... I think I might actually be late now... but only a few hours... actually feel a bit shy to buy a pg test - my french is non-existent....

beattie I'm so sorry to hear that. I was getting very hopeful for you. It's harder when you think you might have been successful isn't it. Sending you hugs and hoping you're ok ((()))

italian Glad you have people in real life who can cheer you up when you're not here in the snug . I wondered if you had made a freudian slip too - or maybe it's just cos certain people on here ( diege & gum) can't stop testing!!!!!

sassy Just mime being pregnant to the person in the chemist and then do a kind of quizzical look - they'll soon catch on. Fingers crossed for you Mrs. xx

hairy Sorry to out you like that. Once I'd read it on a different thread it was bloody hard nt to come back to the snug and blab to everyone .

what I did was sent her a message congratulating her and asking her to come and tell you guys before i blabbed and told everyone.

Anyway, I know you want to wait until you've got further along before you talk about it too much so I will allow you to go back and stick your head in the strawberry patch for a while. (That is not meant in a rude way - it's just where I chose to put my head last time I got a BFP!)

As for me - well I'm going back to the Launderette today with more wet washing - the horrid lady will probably be back - No Hippy, you must not think like that.

I am also off to Next to buy a little sleepsuit that says "I'm the little brother" and a lovely little cardigan. Arrgghhh, my friend who had the baby has two boys nearly exactly the same age as mine and has now had another boy who weighed 9.5 pounds (just like the big chunky boys i had). I am looking forward to seeing him tomorrow but I am fearful that I will get choked up and shout, "This one should have been mine!" Lets hope I don't do that .

gum hope your back is soon better, i have a dodgy back too and it is so difficult when it decides to go. It also means I can't go on any more rollercoaster rides or water shoots etc - which is annoying cos I used to love all that. In the IOW i had to stand by and watch Dh and boys whizzing down the water shoot. I concoled myself with the fact that people might think I wasn't going on cos I was preggers (saddo face).

Anyway, gum get that back fixed ready for SWI. Comes around quick doesn't it!

Ahh well, off i go to the baby section of next .

Hi all
have lurked a bit, but been too cheesed orf to post much... really must get on with house cleaning as DS at nursery, but wanted to send a big squeeze to BB :(, say welcome back to my lovely Hippy :) and ooo-la-la to SasSus .

Will catch up properly and be back soon.

So good to have you back jolls. I REALLY missed you and your querky sense of humour

I know you're still feeling down but hang around and we'll do our very best to cheer you up.

Bloody hell, i really must get off this laptop and get to NEXT.

ps. my hair is quite long and it keeps getting tangled and I think i look like a witch (Dh likes it and says i look like a Hippychick - hence the name).

Question:- Do we all like Kate Garraways new long bob??? Shall I do it???

Sorry to hear you're feeling down Jollster - as Hippy says hopefully a few sessions in the snug will help x
Beattie Arghh what a bummer, am so, so disappointed for you after getting a bfp I am gutted for you. Yes, I take AC up to the temp peak to signify ovulation then stop it. My LP has lengthened from 9 days to 11 which is just about ok, so will carry on with it as it has no side effects that I know of, and has also helped with the severity of my menstrual migraines.
Hippy I'm sure it will be the lovely launderette woman again Enjoy Next! I'm sure it won't be too long before you're filling your basket for the new Hippy Jnr
Oh and re: hair, I love long bobs - can't wear one myself as my fair is very round, but why not go for it and have a change (maybe a few caramel slices and choppy layers to 'lift'???). Go on, we want to see the pictures
Sassy get you to the shop de pregnancy quick and do the mime . Must be less embarrassing than going into your local chemist where everyone knows you!
Finding it very, very hard not to pee on a stick as I do like to be prepared for af (due Friday)and let myself down gently. Don't feel at all pregnant, so really resigned to af. At work though so no temptation!
Mmm fancy a caramel slice with my cuppa now
