Hello ladies

Well, FERTD turned up on Tues so am now on CD3.

Have decided to take a break from clomid this month as well as my vision went really blurry on Tues just before ERTD started and that is apparently a side effect ... I also thought that DH will have to give up smoking for 3 months before we start IVF so I can take this month off and then finish the clomid course before starting all the drugs I'll need for IVFing (assuming no BFP before then)

Anyway, sorry to post and run but am at my parents' house so can't get on the computer much so I'd best go ... but big hugs to everyone and I'll pop back for a proper catch up when everyone is asleep I can

xxxxxxx

Ooooo I'm so hungry now! I'm going to asda tonight (not such a good idea!) and I'm gonna make some yummy food to freeze when I get back. I love organising stuff so I'll be in my element (even have labels and a pen in my bag so I can appropriately label everything, with use by dates too!)

Just in case I don't get on tomorrow, I hope you all have a fab xmas

xxxx

Just popping on to wish everyone a fab Christmas and New Year. Am going away for a few days so won't be on much if at all - hope to see lots of BFPs when I get back!
Gobolino x

Sorry the ERTD got you Toria

I had me flu jab today, nurse didnt take a run up but was very nice and I didn't feel it.

She refused to give it to me at first in case I was in the first trimester then let me sign a waiver when I said that MN said it was OK and safe She then congratulated me on my SWI abilities whilst having swine flu

Hope everyone else is ok, and ready for Christmas. I finished work today, so 5 days of food and TV and chillaxing.

No sign of ERTD yet

And Garden sorry, ERTD got you too

Sorry ERTD got you Garden

Glad jab went ok Tigerseye

Enjoy your time away Gobolino

My xmas has been ruined already Was supposed to be going for a nice romantic meal with DH tonight but I'm so ill I just can't face it so he's cancelling it It's not looking good for tomorrow. I usually get flu in winter so this better bloody not turn into it. I've got 10 days off work and I'm going to enjoy every day, not spend them in bed. So there

Merry xmas everyone xx

Terribly sorry garden hope the new year brings a rush of bfps. Am on day 40 with no fertd.. one year of od, p tests, clomid and ovitrelle and countless scans and blood tests...oh and dear dh sperm tests...and at the end of it - one ovulation cycle, and nine anovulatory ones and this last cycle is more screwed up than ever...:) but but but but but in 2011, it will be our turn. Happy holidays and talk to u in the new year.

Just wanted to pop in to wish you all a very HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Hope you all have a wonderful time and that 2011 brings BFPs for everyone

Lots of love xxx

tigerseye the nurse told me this morning that the new guidelines state the flu jab can be given at any stage in pregnancy, she also said there is no risk of miscarriage and it is perfectly safe.

Morning ladies, and happy Christmas Eve!

Well, this Christmas is turning out to be, shall we say, interesting. We should have flown to America on Thursday, but our flight was cancelled (probably one of the very last Heathrow flights that didn't go). There were no seats on any other flight until after Christmas, so we had to cancel the whole trip.

We've been able to hatch a plan B which is a short break in Germany. Flying out of Heathrow (just for the irony value), leaving tomorrow.

Meanwhile the local reprobates have vandalised our car again. That's twice in six weeks. And to top it off, both DH and I have stonking chest colds and are thoroughly miserable.

Sorry for the mememe, but I'm feeling rather sorry for myself at the moment.

Merry effing Christmas.

Sorry about the poorly peeps, there really are a high number of bugs goung round this year, apparently they think this is because not enough people had the flu jab this year :(

Hope you all feel better very soon.

Still no sign of ERTD, it's only day 30 so am trying not to get excited again (like last month's passive-aggressive excitment) but I wantIwantIwant a Christas conception plizohpliz.

Will wait and see. Have a lovely Christmas Eve everybody, the shops were fine this morning so if anyone needs anything, brave it, it'll be fine :)

Oh Tomboy that's awful, sorry you're having a hard time but hope you're both better soon and can enjoy Germany.

Tigerseye fingers crossed for you

Evening all.

Sorry to all of those who have been struck by ERTD. Make sure you enjoy copious amounts of booze tomorrow.

Tomboy sorry you are having such a crappy time. Again I prescribe obscene amounts of chocolate and wine.

In the meantime Happy Christmas to everyone and here's hoping 2011 gets off to a fabulous start for us all.

Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a Happy New Year :) xx

Happy Christmas to everyone

Got chest cold too

Will be back to MN in a few days x

Happy Christmas frolickers!!! 2011 is going to see us win a bumper crop of bambinos!!!!!! I can feel it in my waters - although that might just be too much booze last night! love to you all. Xxx

Happy Christmas all! It's almost the big day!!!

I can hear bells...quick, get under the covers and pretend to be asleep!!!

Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone had a great day

Hello Frollickers

Hope everyone has had a fabulous christmas!!! I had a migraine this morning so have been feeling poo today. We've had no water all day because pipes were frozen, as they were yesterday so I'm starting to feel a bit stinky!!! That said, Christmas day was fab, we had a really good one.

I have a question for you ladies re marriage, I was going to post in relationships but would prefer to have your opinions plz.

DP and I have been together nearly 11 years, engaged for 10. We got engaged to annoy my parents (i was 17!!) so the idea of getting properly hitched was actually ever going to become a reality. That said, if anyone ever asks I refer to DP as my partner and not my fiance. Anyway, we are very happy and we love each other immensely, I don't doubt his commitment to me for one second and know we will be together forever.

However, ever since we decided to try for a baby I have thought more and more that I want him to be my husband, not just my partner. I want the security for me and my future baby. DP is anti wedding, he hates the religious principle of it and refuses to be a 'sheep'. I've explained now that I feel we ought to be married and he says I only got the idea because we watched the Royal Family last night. How did you guys come to be married? Did you have to put your foot down or was it all romantic and perfect? I obviously don't want to have forced him but this is a practical decision more than romantic, and I feel that t 28 I want to be married. i know he has had some issues coming to terms with turning 30 but I relly feel it is time for us to start becoming grown ups if that makes sense? Any thoughts from fellow frolickers would be much appreciated - what do you think I should do?

Merry xmas everyone, hope you all had fab days

Raspberry that's a difficult one. On the religious side of it, me and DH aren't religious so we had a civil ceremony at the registry office, nothing religious about it. Could you perhaps suggest something really really small, just you, DH and a couple of witnesses if necessary, so he knows it's just about you and him? Sorry I can't really suggest anything else.

Still a bit poorly here but it didn't spoil my xmas, still ate too much (and still am!)

Had a bit of a fluttery tummy last night, wondered if perhaps there was something latching on in there . Really really want 2011 to be everyone's years for bfps

Good evening ladies I hope you all had a good Christmas.

raspberry as Josie has said, it is a difficult one as everyone is different. DH did propose to me, of his own accord, though we had been talking about it for a while. We got engaged on the 5th anniversary of our meeting and married just over 18 months after getting engaged.

You need to talk to your DP and explain to him what it means to you to be married. Again as Josie said, it doesn't have to be a religious affair, you can have a simple registry office ceremony pretty cheaply. It doesnt have to be expensive.

If your DP is adamant that he doesn't want to get married and you are happy to go along with that, please make it clear to himbrhat you must both take the time to sort out your affairs, should the worst happen, and write Wills. There is no such thing as a Common Law husband/wife in the eyes of the Law and not having a Will could make things very difficult.

Best thing to do is have a good long chat with him about it

Merry Christmas all!

Raspberry we are not religious and got married in Mexico in a civil ceremony,it was just us and all about having a nice romantic day and holiday really . Plus his surname is much more interesting than mine! Cavemum's advice seems good my sister has a two year old and lives with her partner and I am pretty certain that they have done what she suggests.,

Raspberry I wish I knew the answer! We have been together for 18 years and I was always anti-marriage. So I burned my bridges a little on that one!

The thing is, for me, the most rebellious thing I could do would be to get married. Because it seems like a mad thing to do that I was dead against. So to do it, for me, would be quite racy!

My friend was the same but once they had kids they realised that issues around next of kin etc meant that marriage made sense, it was a good commitment to make and a way of having a knees-up.

Worrying about being a sheep is more about what other people think of you, and really, a sign of maturity is to stop worrying about what others think! So maybe he will come round as he gets older...

We had a lovely Christmas Day but sadly had to have our beautiful gentle old dog put to sleep this morning, which was very sad, never an easy decision. So today is very odd.

Still no ERTD but it did this to me last month then showed up at the last minute.

well, we have had a chat this evening and he has said he will think about it. Not sure where to go from here. will give it a few days and see what he thinks, I think he understands the reasons why, he just can't face the hassle and the expense deep down. I have just had a look at registry office costs and looks like it could be done on a week day for about £400 max then I suggested we have people back to my parents for afternoon tea so no hassle, no real fuss, just v personal and quiet/intimate but will see what he says. Just don't know what to do if he now says no!!!!

Tiger so sorry to hear about your dog. It is never an easy thing to do.

Raspberry glad you've had a bit of a chat with DP.
