Waves frantically at olismum Glad you came back to the thread. Hoping this will be your month.

Lurking for news from mumtum

Also hoping that no sign of cep means that she's getting a well deserved lie in.

dachs well done on the brave move.

Thanks for the tea and toast blackkat. here, have a muffin!

Thanks blackkat Yumm

She must be up?? Surely?? I hope all is ok....

I've just disgusted myself by eating a fried egg sandwich (I don't normally like fried eggs) and am considering eating an easter egg now, that's gross isn't it. Will suffice with a muffin, thanks mel!

hahaha blackkat Its even too early for chocolate for me!! DH cooking some some scrabbled eggs and mushrooms for me though (bless him) . Just wish i could have a lovely cup of coffee to swill it down, really need to get some ground decaf.

mumtum really hope you've had a nice lie in and that we hear from you later on today, lots of love, thinking of you xxx

Ok, gotta go now, i'm hoping you have had a lie in too mumtum and all is ok.

hope you are ok hun? No more beelding today still?

I'm fine thanks collie, no more bleeding or gunk. Must have been a weird af! So day 11 today and back on the opks. How are you?

We're off to an (early) Easter egg hunt this morning, we have one every year in the park near work for staff families and ex patients. Always heart warming to see them growing up! I usually have tears in my eyes mind! Then going for lunch with friends.

Hope alls ok mumtum, thinking of you x

evening all,

I was up at that time but i just didn't have time to come on, had to go and collect dss, and went to get ds some trainers, went to eastleigh lakeside railway then out for dinner. kept seeing single magpies grrrr. Ds wasn't too bad woke up at 11:30 for a little while then slept through till nearly 7.

mels hope you have a lovely day hon.

mumtum are you ok sweetie?

Hi girls

This thread moves fast if you miss a day, doesn't it!

mumtum hope everything is ok

Can i ask a question, please? I'm using a CBFM and have been since the mc in Nov (once it all got back to normal). I got pg with it first time after ten months of trying last time but obviously it's now been 4 cycles. I'm starting to get a bit downhearted with it all and wondered if I'd be better just turning it off! Maybe just dtd every other day from day 8 and not stress whether it's a peak day or not. CM seems to give pretty clear signs of ov anyway. Anybody any opinion?

Had a good day today- baking white chocolate and raspberry cake things for my mum tomorrow. First time I've ever baked anything (since i was ten anyway) Turned out great till dp tried to help getting it on the rack and it all fell to bits- tastes great though!

Have a lovely evening everyone xx

Glad you had more sleep last night Cep, fx it lasts! I keep seeing magpies in pairs, obviously because im about to get pg, nothing to do with it being spring at all! I think we might both need to start ignoring them...please don't let it worry you! Did your ds enjoy the railway? My dd loves trains, we're going on a postman pat day at the severn valley railway at Easter and she's very excited. We also bought her shoes today when I realised how tight her ballet shoes are.

I hope that you are able to enjoy tomorrow with your mum collie. any more pain?

I don't know about the cbfm sorry Minnie, I just use opks, mainly because since the mc my cycles are all over the place.

I'm home alone (apart from dd asleep upstairs of course!) dh has gone into town to see his friends band. My turn next weekend!

I hope you are ok mumtum.

I was pleased to hear your good scan news banana if you still lurk.

mel yes he loved it, they're good value cause they do a 3 return trips for price of 2, but by 3rd trip (which dh insists on) he's rather tired. there's a park half way round and you can get off and walk round a little lake there as well so is very nice on a warm day. i'm on my own tonight as dh sleeps in with dss, so if ds does wake up i think i'll give in and just let him kip in here.
ooh what are you doing next week?

collie i hope tomorrow goes ok sweet.

Just a meal out at an Italian Cep, ive offered to drive because I've really cut down on drinking but I'm really looking forward to it, I haven't been out properly since the mc and it seems everyone I know is going out tonight, there's a hen do for a girl at work that was being organised when I mc so I didn't put my name down and even my parents are at a wedding!

mel that'll be nice. i was supposed to go out with a friend from work on friday but she cancelled. was really disappointed cause i could really have done with an evening out and let dh put ds to bed for a change. oh well. I hope you have a good night. right i'm off to bed. goodnight sweet.

Evening ladies,

Sorry its been so long since I've been on here. Huge congrats for all the recent bfps. Hope you are all doing really well. Haven't had chance yet to read back through this new thread yet.

Haven't felt much like being on here recently, just how I'm feeling, can't believe I will ever actually manage to start a family. I've stopped temping and FF for now as it was making me obsess, currently trying to distract myself with other things. Sorry for the mememe, and being so down-beat.

Hi lily, im sorry to hear that you are having a hard time at the moment. I dont temp because I know that I would get obsessed with it, you sound like you could do with a break from it, are you cycles regular, has ff given you a pattern that you can work with without having to do it all month?

Good night Cep, hope you get a lie in tomorrow x

I'm off to bed, probably won't sleep properly though, I'm a right wimp about every noise when dh is out!

lily so sorry you're having such a tough time (((hugs))).

cep your day sounds busy yesterday but lovely all the same, mel hope your quiet night in was enjoyable, and that you did get some sleep?

minnie I think your plan about DTD post day 8 - might be less stressful than using CBFM - though tiring I would imagine!

mumtum if you're lurking (((((big hugs))))) thinking of you xxx

Hope all of you out there that are already mums are spoilt rotten today !

lily i'm sorry you're feeling so low at the moment. is good that you're doing things to distract yourself. (((hugs)))

mel i'm like that. have even slept with bedside light on it's lowest dimming setting. Ds woke at aboput 11:50 took about 10 mins to get back to sleep, then woke at 3:45 and climbed into bed with me, i didn't have the energy to take him back.

Good afternoon, hope you are all having a nice Sunday. We got soaked at a showcave, dd had a great time though, and we met my parents there. We're all worn out, I've got dh doing the hoovering while I have a sit down. He came in after 2 this morning, I hope I can keep his energy up for tonight! .

Hi mel hope you've got your feet up ready for this evening

Have had a lovely day - taken my DP's out to see some lovely gardens and made them lunch, made me feel like I was doing something nice for them. They seemed pleased to get out for a bit. Think all the hosp trips are difficult for them both. I'm knackered tho bcs was at a hen do last night and didn't get home til 1.00. Have just lit a fire and am sitting with the cat watching crap tv, DH still on stag do....

Hope today was ok for your mum Collie?

to Cep, Olis, Lily, Mumtum, Chloe and everyone else - hope you've all had lovely days

Happy mothers day to all you lovely already mums, hope you're being spoilt. Here's fx for the rest of us that next year it's our day too

Glad no more blood or gunk mels and at least you can focus on dtd. Are you using opks? How did the Easter Hunt go? Sounds really lovely. The rest of your day yesterday sounds lovely and your girls night next week sounds good. Hope you had a lovely mums day today, although shame you got wet!

Cep your day yesterday sounds lovely too. What have you dove today?

lily I am so to hear you are so down. I think trying to keep your mind focused on other things is a really good idea, but you know if you need to come in here and vent or be sad, that's ok. Don't worry about having to catch up. I hope you get your bfp very soon, I know what it's like to desperately want to start your family and new life. Xx

mumtum I really hope you're ok, and are just having such a lovely weekend that you've not had time to venture on mn. Thinking of you. ((hugs))

blackkat that's a really nice thing you did for you dps. I sm sure it was a lovely break for them. Love the sound of your evening, I'm sat watching trashy chick flick as dh still not back from taking his dm out.

Went to the cinema last night to watch killing Bono, very funny. Can recommend!

Made mum breakfast (well brunch by the time I got there) fir mum this morning and been there all day. She's been ok, Considering. She made me an photo albumn for my 30th of all the years before that and left 2 pages at the back for pictures of my 1920's party. That was almost 18months ago and I'd still not done it so we did that today. It was nice. Taking her fir afternoon tea in York in a few week instead

chloe how are you darling?

Waves to harassed laylas wellie yrmotb minnie freelance really bump oils and anyone else i've missed.

Collie your day sounds nice, what a lovely thing to do together. Have you got somewhere in mind in York? Have some recommendations if helpful as it's v close to me. x

Hello again, gosh this thread moves fast and I was away for the weekend anyway. Just to update, went to the doctors on Friday morning and had a "strongly positive" pregnancy test. Not sure this is good news though, the doctor seemed extremely perturbed by the whole thing as was less than 3 weeks since last period, which seems crazy. So it might be leftover from the last one, and they've done a blood test to measure, I presume, hcg levels and are going to ring me supposedly. Not really sure what to do now, feeling quite sick over the weekend and have extremely sore breasts but also quite a lot of mostly brown but slightly pink cm.

Glad people are having a nice weekend - hope everything's ok with mumtum and pleased to hear mel's gunk is clearing up.

OOh Collie you are good with all those mentions. The trailer for Killing Bono looks funny. Big wave to everyone from me too! :) Hope those who are mothers already are having a nice mother's day and to those of us who aren't, hope you are all having a nice day too. I got ragingly drunk last night, ate nothing but crisps for lunch and then chips for dinner with lots of post-mc-sorrow-drowing wine, so didn't get up until 12.30pm today! Just been to the gym though and feeling pretty good now.

Lily Sorry you are not feeling good today. That is one of my fears about ttc again too as I did it quite casually last time and I am pretty sure once I start doing it 'properly' I will obsess about everything.

My current obsession is with the 8lbs I have put on over the 12 weeks I was pg. Very annoying now I don't have a baby to look forward to making that seem worthwhile. Must stop eating chips for dinner :)

Today I bought Lesley Regan's Miscarriage one off amazon and also Is Your Body Baby Friendly (see mild obsession starting even before ttc...) both recommended on various threads here. I just want to read up about these things as much as possible. Do any of you have any good experiences with these books or others?

Hope all having a lovely weekend xx
