errmmm knitter lol typo! xx

Collie2 · 07/02/2011 16:32

yrotb my vit e arrived today. You said you took a 800mg does....all in one day? Mine are 124mg tablets but bottle says only take up to 3 daily????

mousebacon · 07/02/2011 16:39

Yay knitter that's awesome news Grin

I survived my meeting ladies, was v professional and above board (phew) and I didn't shed a single tear. Well, not in the meeting anyway.

I felt v emotional all day and had a few tears mid morning but I'll get there in the end. Just feel v relieved about it all.

Thank you all so much for your support and advice, you're a fab bunch.

On the ttc front I resumed charting this morning but just for information, not planning on trying until I've had AF and as I'm still bleeding from the erpc I think that's a while away yet.

So, a deep breath, some marking and my tea. Now there's a monday night eh?

cep · 07/02/2011 16:40

MOUSE glad it went well, was it just a see how you're doing meeting??

HidingInTheUndergrowth · 07/02/2011 16:42

Hello everyone! Grin

Long time no see and all that! AF started today so my non-ttc cycle is over and I am back.

Of course I still ended up obsessing over whether I was preg or not in the end as this cycle lasted a epic 30 days (my pre-mc average was 26). I am putting this sudden lengthening of my cycles down to not having eaten any meat since new year which is a huge change in my diet as I was eating meat pretty much every day before. Does this sound plausable to anyone? Is it possible that a change of diet could change my cycle that much?

Anyways, another side-effect of my veggieness is I have become an obsessive baker and spent my non-working day today making granola bars (which I kinda mucked up by putting the grill on instead of the oven Blush), humous, bean pasties, and oat cakes (which are amazing!!..if I may say so myself)! So dig in my lovelies! [passes around a tray of yummy things] Grin

DachshundsWantPuppies · 07/02/2011 16:43

yay knitter ! Grin

Collie2 · 07/02/2011 16:44

Glad you got through the day ok mouse they weren't pressuring into anything your not ready for i hope? I think the first day back is the hardest - i cried in the morning too. I think you've been really brave and handled it with a great deal of dignity.

Don't let them work you too hard too soon though....its still very recent.

Have a nice evening....maybe a glass of Wine...i think you deserve one. Grin

owlbooty · 07/02/2011 16:44

WOOOO! Congratulations Knitter that is fab news :) :)

There's a beanbag reserved for you in the freaking out room next door...

Mouse , lovely, so glad today wasn't as shite as you thought it might be. Tomorrow will be better, and so will the day after that x

Hiding oooh, granola bars. I will trough those even if they've been grilled :)

Emoo · 07/02/2011 16:47

Whahay knitter - Grin CONGRATS on your BFP!!! Grin, you lucky thread-starter you!

MummyA so Angry on your behalf...

Mouse - well done for getting through today.

owlbooty · 07/02/2011 16:56

Also - bloody hell, MummyA , how utterly horrible. I really hope you get everything back :(

Blackkat · 07/02/2011 16:57

Congratulations knitter fantastic news Grin

mouse so pleased today went ok, well done you on being professional. Smile

Chloe glad you are staying, hope the POAS goes ok and that you get to see the GP sooner rather than later ((hugs))

mummya awful news about your cleaner, what a pisser. Angry. I think your FFS just about sums it up. Send some of those wanted posters over Izzy!

Velvet hope this evening is better than yesterday

AandR thanks for mending the shed - Grin

YRMOTB your wknd sounds lovely - glad you
had a good time

Waves to Collie cep lily hils and everyone else, sorry if I've missed anyone I'm struggling to keep up while playing Countdown - how am I going to cope going back to work?? Hmm

MummyAbroad · 07/02/2011 17:04

knitter GrinGrinGrinGrinWHOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOO!! Blimey, the thread starting magic really works!!! Oh, I am so pleased for you hon!!! Get yourself over to the freak out room, but do come back here with updates! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

mouse pleased it was OK. can we be nosey and ask what it was all about then?

hiding helllloooo! long time no see! xx

Chloe another big hug for you glad MN is helping xxx

Got some of my stuff back from the cleaner but not all, long version of the story here

DH and I are going to a big court case later today. He is suing the bus company that ran him over 4 years ago. V. nervous for him.

So anyway, I didnt know you could do friend requests on FF... how do I do that then?

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 07/02/2011 17:12

knitter yay!!!! Huuuuuge congrats to you, my lovely, what fabulous news!!! Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

yrmotb the weekend sounds lovely, but good to have you back Smile. I am not 2ww-ing just yet, expecting to get the cbfm peak/opk + tomorrow - cbfm was high this mowning and I've just done an opk which was nearly positive so it's so tempting to start my every day for 3days today...but that wouldn't strictly speaking be SMEP would it? Hmmm. Maybe I'll poaOPK later and see if it's got there yet..,

velvet didn't have time for longer post earlier but am sorry dh is being an arse...have you managed to have a sensible talk to him now he's sobered up? He's not being reasonable, but you know that. (((hugs)))

Chloe I think mn is invaluable for getting support from people who have been there too; mc can feel like a very lonely experience in RL. However I agree that you do have to keep talking to dh too, even if they don't always understand. Whenever me and dh have had problems it's been when we're just not communicating enough. Like the others said, dip in and out as you feel like it, we're always here for you x

mummya have you had any joy on catching up with the cleaner? I feel so Sad and Angry on your behalf.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 07/02/2011 17:13

mummya good luck with the court case [four-leaf clover emoticon] x

KnitterNotTwitter · 07/02/2011 17:28

Thanks ladies - you're all so lovely...

Decided that I didn't totally believe the internet cheepy so went out and bought a digital one... that says BFP too so I guess I really am pg. Couldn't get DH on the phone so just sent him a picture of the read-out on the digital... He phoned approximately 3 minutes later :)

Good luck mummya you life is like a soap opera at the moment.... Smile

Chloe55 · 07/02/2011 17:32

Brilliant news Knitter Grin

It is unfortunately the opposite for me - streaky blood on last toilet trip so think that AF is skulking round the corner Sad

Mummya - hope the court case goes how you want it to later.

KnitterNotTwitter · 07/02/2011 17:37

And the other thing that I've just calculated is that I most likely fell pregnant on my due date....
