Congratulations lollopybear!!

Hopefully this is the first of many BFPs!

So - who's putting their tree up today? I am! Well one of them, we're going to be OTT this year and have one in the dining room and one in the lounge. Dining room one is fake which I'm putting up tonight (spent a fortune on marks and sparks decs for it yesterday) and we'll get a real one for the lounge in Saturday.

Also had a huge clear out of my clothes yesterday and went to the gym so feel very proud of myself today Grin

Well done, Flamingo, thanks for doing the list.

OptiMumPrime · 01/12/2011 14:58

Oops, cross-posted, had this page open for a while as I am BFing DS1 and trying to MN at the same time!
Yes, we are doing the tree today, Whysoserious, - we have a fake one, have got the box out from under the bed, just waiting for DH to get home from work and then we'll decorate it together. I'd love five two trees one day, so many decorating themes, once a year is just not enough!

Zara1984 · 01/12/2011 15:29

Hello everybody, can I come aboard? At the back of the carriage for me because I'm starting TTC#1 after AF arrives on 8/9 Dec. Long cycle, ovulating over Xmas time so if I got ridiculously lucky on my first go it'd be EDD of early September...

My next AF would be due 13 Jan or slightly before methinks...

Best of luck everyone!!

jencd · 01/12/2011 16:29

Can I come aboard too? Hoping the christmas cheer will help to get us BFP! Got on my favourite bright red santa dressing gown on which I'll switch for sexy lingerie if I could only just figure out when I've ovulating!

I'm on day 49 of CD, got a BFN on day 46 and day 39. Since I came off the pill in June I've had very changeable cycles, one 42 day, one 45 day, one 38 day and now this 49 day. Thinking of seeing my gyno when I get next AF and hoping there's no problem with my ovulation... Had a mmc in Aug 2009 after an accident that got me PG in cycle #1 so not sure what's changed now we're planning it! does anyone else have experience of such irregular AFs? Any recommendations?

So here we go Jencd TTC #1, cycle number 4, AF a constant mystery....

Here's to us all creating babies for our mangers!

jencd · 01/12/2011 16:32

p.s. I'm 29

p.p.s Congratulations Lollypop bear! relax and enjoy! xxx

VeniVidiVino · 01/12/2011 18:34

Congratulations lollopy bear! May it be the first of many on this thread. I am v much looking forward to a bit of SWI starting this weekend (gearing up early for next weekend ov I think)

Chuckaluck · 01/12/2011 19:45

Congrats lollopybear. Certainly hope it is a good omen for us all. Peed on ovulation stick for the first time today! Don't know why but was very excited by it!! Day off tomorrow to do some Xmas shopping - yeah :)

Teapig · 01/12/2011 21:30

Congratulations lollopy bear! I've been away for a few days and so excited to log on and see we have our first graduate. This must be a lucky train!
Still desperately awaiting the arrival of AF so I can get started with the TTC. Happy first day of advent everyone

Winkly · 01/12/2011 21:43

Congrats lollopy bear!

teapig I've never had eggnog, what's it like?

Watching Supernanny and considering changing my mind about children :)

Minshu · 01/12/2011 22:04

Congratulations lollopy bear!!! Brilliant news.

Winkly - don't worry about supernanny too much, most kids are nothing like that bad. Honest Wink

MyDaydream · 01/12/2011 22:16

Congrats to lollopy bear and welcome to all the new boarders.

Can't wait to start SWI, but getting lots of practice in the run up, wouldn't want to forget how to do it! My plan is just lots of SWI, some healthy eating and less caffeine, although I have to admit I've caved a few times this week and bought a cup.
