Didn't get it...more fish in the sea & all that!

Ooh slap with a wet fish from me too!!!! How about scanning to see when you ovulate & if you do every month??? They have so much power & don't use it. They P**s me off!!!!

CD 28...any day for RTD!!!

Hey Lou how's you???

I had my bloods re-done a few months ago, and she said that if there was anything abnormal they would have picked it up at my "12 week scan" last year. I do get ewcm every month and wouldn't if I didn't ov, so I think it is down to bad luck and insufficient sex!

Sorry about the job FairyG, hope you get the next one, don't they know who they have missed!

Fairygodmother1 · 12/06/2011 05:38

Umb thats a myth about EWCM - I get it every month & tons at times but I don't ovulate every month. I have no idea when I do & when I don't - the wonders of PCOS!!! I can't even use ov sticks as my hormone levels are off & give false readings!!

I personally think that getting pg is totally luck & we seem to be giving ours away to others!!!!

Thanks for job pick-me-up. Afew people have said something similar. Wonder if I should may be do something different????

Just popped in to say CONGRATULATIONS LOU GrinGrin - how is it going with DD? Lovely name btw :)

I've got 4 weeks and 4 days til my due date. Finishing work next week - can't wait. Baby has turned and is very very wriggly.

Hope all is well with you other chavettes x x

HalleLouja · 12/06/2011 12:49

Biccie my love. Glad that naughty baby of yours is now in the right position. If you want to keep in touch PM me. She is beautiful but if anyone can explain to me how she can sleep like an angel all day and come 3am she will only sleep on me the prize will be in the post.

In fact if any of you chavettes want to see a piccie of Zoe PM me and I will send you a picture. So you can coo over. She is very cute even if I say so myself. I would rather not post pictures on here, as although people could figure out who I am I don't wanna make it that obvious...

HalleLouja · 12/06/2011 13:34

PS Its a week and 2 days until my due date - so who knows when baby gingernut is coming...

UmBongo · 12/06/2011 19:38

Can you do the temperature thing fairyG? I did do that for a while (a while ago) and it definitely showed a change. I might try it again for a month or 2 but I am trying to get less obsessed about all this, rather than more.

Maybe temp for 2 months to check am ovulating and when, then give up and try to NOT know what cd I am on. Hmm

Icedlemonmuffin · 12/06/2011 20:20

Fairy boo about the job, fingers croossed for next one and more important has rtd got you yet? If not have you got a stick to pee on?

Umbongo consultant sounds like a bitch, if you got some of her hair I've got some felt in the craft box so could probably make a voodoo doll and stick some pins in it!! It doesn't matter if what she was saying it was true it's the way they say it that gets to me, I'm sure the White coat robs their ability to care.

Biccie can't believe you only have four weeks left, so exciting. Do you know what your having?

Lou mini muffin would only ever go to sleep on me until about 12 weeks, so I learnt to sleep upright surrounded by pillows. My neighbours dd ( who is six weeks older than mini muffin) has slept 8 till 8 since she was six weeks!! My dh said I looked like I was going to attack her when she said that! I thought I was smiling nicelyGrin

Mini muffin is now 20 weeks old and has just got her first tooth and I'm still breastfeeding. She doesn't really sleep longer than four hours at night before needing a feed (that's a good night) but she is wonderful.

Sorry it turned into an essay big waves to everyone, I wish I could talk to people in rl like I do on here.

HalleLouja · 12/06/2011 20:54

PMSL at muffin thinking she was cool calm and collected.

[Throws in craft materials to help make voodoo doll]

FG you still running??

Fairygodmother1 · 12/06/2011 22:10

No RTD yet CD30 today. No stick in the house & I'll wait 2 weeks before even attempting it. I'm not sure if checking temp works either - should look into that!

Yes I am still running, I'm now 6 mins faster than I was & now doing 1 1/2 min runs with 1 min walks. Should be up to 2 min runs at some point this week. Don't seem to be losing much weight but can def see inches reducing! 3 weeks I've been doing it & am enjoying it. Hope this torrential rain stops so I can run in the morning!

Know what you mean about rl - my hairdresser was asking when DH & I were thinking of having kids - I lied & said we'll see what happens. I know what happens, you try for 3 1/2 years & NOTHING!!! For one thing why do people have to be so personal & the other is it aint none of her business?!

OP posts:
Icedlemonmuffin · 13/06/2011 09:52

Fairy well done on the running and fingers crossed for the other. I would love to run but my right hip does this mad clicking when I go a bit faster than a walk!

As for stupid rl people I went to get mini muffin weighed and this was the coversation

nursery nurse- is this your first?
Me- no second dd1 is nearly 8
nn- wow that's a big gap
me- well it wasn't through choice
nn- what different dads?
Me- thinks WTF but says no nature.

So I leave clinic not sure if I should feel insulted or not!

Fairygodmother1 · 13/06/2011 18:55

Was about to say, Ooh you must truely be living up to chav nature - but really don't mean it in the wrong way! I know for many reasons poeple end up having children by diffrent dads so please anyone don't take that in the wrong way!!!

But yes it does show the way things are in the world today that people think it must be a different dad rather than many medical/natural reasons! Won't be long till people will be looking down oin us thinking after 2 years of marriage we haven't had any so it must be choice & people start making snide comments rather than asking when we're going to have them!!!!

Gotta say Lemony I don't feel pg...although boobs are as hard as bullets. Could just be hormones!!!

Icedlemonmuffin · 13/06/2011 19:43

Well I suppose my short skirt and the fag hanging out of my mouth gave her that impression! Only joking, I suppose it was more the way she said it, felt quite judgey. Think I'm just super sensitive due to torture sleep deprevation.

When I was younger my parents split and it was a major scandel (my mums mum wouldn't speak to her) and she had my two younger sisters a few years later. We were made to feel odd and I can't stand it if someone says they are my half sisters. Sorry rant over need to get some sleep!!

Fairygodmother1 · 13/06/2011 20:40

Glad you took that in the way that it was meant from me. Grin People are so judgemental. You end up defending yourself for no reason really. 2BH if I'd had a a little 'un with my first serious boyf then they'd have been almost 12 by now. We were together 6 years & everyone thought we'd be together forever. We lived together even though we were in our teens when we got together & early 20s when we split. We were far too young to be that serious & would have also meant that when DH & I finally have one they'd have been a big age gap & 2 diff fathers due to relationship break down. These things happen.

Icedlemonmuffin · 13/06/2011 22:07

Fairy I have been with dh 15 years in December scary to think I could have a 14 year old!!

Well mini muffin is finally asleep, fingers crossed it's for longer than half an hour, so I'm going to try and get some much needed sleep as well.

Night

Fairygodmother1 · 13/06/2011 22:10

Aww thats fab. We laugh at the fact that DH isn't my longest relationship yet but def oine I want to keep! Smile
Nighty night!
Sleep well mini muffin!

Fairygodmother1 · 13/06/2011 22:12

Ooh if I'd got pg instantly with ex then DC may have been almost 14!!! Thats scary as they'd have almost been half my age!!!!

Fairygodmother1 · 14/06/2011 17:54

RTD hit today on CD32!!! The Mets are working again!!! Ovulation I hope to see next month!!!!

I've cracked open the alcohol, chocolates & cake (felt the need to pig out on cake!!!) in the pit. I'm just gonna lay on the pink fluffy cushions & wait for 5 days to be up then back on with SWI (with more effort next month!!!!) Must do better should be on our end of year report!

:) Sorry have been MIA, sounds like things have been busy round here!

FG - sends over some flumps - d'you like them, I really ought to do soemthing about my sweet tooth! PS that whole child with first bf thing is scary, mine'd be 11 and errr I've have to deal with me ex and his weird family (very strange lot they were!) :D Plus clearly the school don't know what they are missing! No accounting for some peoples lack of taste.

Hope everyone else is okay?

I am okay, finally heard from the community midwife who wrote to me with an appointment, despite my telling the dr I work away during the week, so I inadvertedly missed it. Plus I got my first scan letter through for July! I'd be 16 weeks, I need to know there is something there before then. Eeeek. Stressful. So am in negoitaion with the hospital and in the process of booking for a private scan this weekend. I am worried in case it has not happened properly again. Trying not to stress, at least by Saturday I will know either way. x Fingers crossed!

ps sorry for the slight essay x going mad!

HalleLouja · 14/06/2011 21:56

Passes ptp the non alcoholic pimms. Missed you and hope all is well.

Ignores conversation about ex boyfriends as mine was a twat with a bitch of a mother and child would be 11...

UmBongo · 14/06/2011 23:24

CD1 again here FairyG are you stalking me! It is true that if wimmin spend time together their cycles start to run the same!!!! I think we have the same report too! Pass the cake.

Oh and if just ONE more person tells me to JUST RELAX ABOUT IT AND IT WILL HAPPEN, I may just be forced to poke them in the eye with a sharp stick while slapping with wet/frozen haddock. (Hmm, or tuna, they are really big fish!)

Hope you get your scan earlier PTP, good luck! You can have all the non alcoholic stuff, but the alcohol is for me and FairyG GrinWine

Oh and child would be umm, err, 17 Shock with first boyf. He didn't last long. (oh do I really want to admit to that! Shock)

Fairygodmother1 · 15/06/2011 08:22

We're cycle buddies this month!!!! Yes thats true about women! I'm not suffering too bad this month (touch wood) but was awake for a few hours in the night with pain! This morning it's niggly & if I keep on top of the pain I should make it through! Maybe losing that little bit of weight has helped! But yes I need Wine about a pint of it!

Lou I can hold my hand up to twats! Also to one that had planned how many children & their names & we'd only been together 2 weeks (had known him as a friend longer).

PTP fingers crossed for scan!

OP posts:
permatannedpumpkin · 15/06/2011 19:41

Thanks for the na pimms - love it, news so far - the community midwife is coming to my house this weekend before the private scan and I have managed to get an evening appointment for the scan in 3 weeks instead of 4 time. Luckily I have a private scan booked as well for this weekend as we just couldn't wait any longer but it is a bit ridiculous - fingers crossed anyway!

PS - Lou know what you mean about twats - dear me just the idea of having to deal with them is enough to make me shudder!

harassedinherpants · 17/06/2011 09:54

Hellooo!

I'm so very sorry I haven't been posting on here, I stopped posting on another thread I was a regular on too. I can't explain it, just that after two mc's so close together it all got a bit too much. I was very down in the dumps for a while there, and then I got a bfp on cd27 after the mc. It's been very mixed feelings tbh, lots of tears and mentalling and just waiting for it all to go wrong again. I had a scan at 6wks and saw hb, scan at 8wk and all good and my "12" wk scan last week which was perfect! So I'm 13+1 today and due on 22nd Dec. Heard the hb on Wed at 12+6 as had a docs appointment and he said he'd listen in. Unfortunately my bp has gone up since booking in at 8 weeks so I'm back next week for a check. Had this with dd though, and it all settled down so I'm hoping for the same!

Lou huge congratulations lovely!!! So unbelievably chuffed for you xx

perma congrats!!! How far along are you?

FG and Um I love how your cycles have synchronised!! I've got some opk's sitting around, if either of you would like them let me know. They're just ebay cheapies but have always done the job for me.

biccie wow not long to go!! Exciting.

Lemon mini muffin sounds thoroughly gorgeous! My two ds's have a different dad to dd and this one, and when I was preg with dd a nurse at a&e asked me if dd was a mistake.....I was so shocked that all I could mumble was no instead of some witty bitchy retort.

Icedlemonmuffin · 17/06/2011 10:57

Congratulations PantsGrin Going mental is totally understandable I was mental the whole of my pregnancy and still a little bit now that mini muffin is here. Dh says I worry about not having anything to worry about!

Fairy and Umbongo fingers crossed you go from cycle buddies to bump buddies very soon.

Mini muffin is truely adorable and has really smiley eyes, she is really funny at the moment and has just got her second bottom tooth!
