Rubbish thread title, apologies.

Wow Beyonce too? Loving that there's a bit of a conspiracy theory going :o
Apparently Lily Allen Cooper has called hers Ethel Hmm not sure how I feel about that one...

sweetie I think you can definitely push for a referral, given you're over the magic age of 35. Bear in mind that even if you're referred, it could be 4-6 months before you actually get to see anyone anyway, so you'd have your extra cycles to try as well :)

We're now at the 12 month stage but DH is still happy that this is ?normal?. I think he will be happy to be referred in 6 months, but don't think he'll be in agreement before then. (I mean, lets face it ? who really wants to be labelled ?sub fertile?? Hmm Not very manly, that). I am 27 and he is 31.
however I've had some loooong cycles and at least one cycle (July) where I didn't ovulate (was very ill) so I reckon this will actually only be our 8th cycle ttc. Which I try to remind myself of, but it still feels like it's been forever.

Generic :o at the shag dictator! Yes it was ££ Confused but I figure I'll get good use out of it, if not for dc1 then for dc2 that's right Popcorn, think big!
That sounds like a really lovely day, Generic. I want to say I'm glad you're back, but that sounds a bit wrong iykwim Blush but we have missed yoooou! :)

Gosh olives that does sound traumatic Shock I hope it hasn't put DH off dtd! ;)

:o Munx you are such a trooper!

Yay for Fridays, Imps! DH has a rare weekend off, so we are doing to a local museum and then I'm going to wine and dine him I wouldn't want him thinking I was only with him for his body :o What about you?

That's really interesting about the clomid, far. A lot of women I've read about on MN seem to get pg straight after finishing clomid, too, so I wonder if it's also cumulative? Maybe it kick starts stuff in some women.

Hi beedle!

PINK CM ALERT

I just had a glob of pink CM (10 DPO). There is no doubt as to its colour this time ? it was definitely pink. A rather lovely colour actually ? a bit like fresh spring blossom. Wouldn?t mind finding something similar for the utility room. Do you reckon Farrow & Ball do a colour called ?Pink Cervical Mucus???

I?m getting side-tracked. This is a relatively exciting development, although I am very mindful of the fact that it wouldn?t be the first time I?ve had spotting between OV and AF which hasn?t resulted in a baybee. In fact, it would be the second, so I am not raising my hopes. I?m excited to have more symptoms to keep me amused during the 2ww more than anything.

As you were. Will catch up with the latest posts later.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 06/01/2012 11:25

Imps I am beyond excited at this development. I would pay good money to see you request that particular shade Grin Again, I am so excited about this!

Sounds like you have a lovely weekend planned Pop and you Beedle Smile

farfallarocks · 06/01/2012 11:28

So updiffed I can smell the HCG from here imps :)

PopcornMouse · 06/01/2012 11:41

Imps that is very promising indeed! I think your previous spotting can be considered a near-miss, so you're certainly upduffed this time :o

cakes82 · 06/01/2012 12:44

Thanks Far for the info about PCOS and clomid. It looks like that might be route I am going and I wondered how it worked. Then again my HSG is going to result in a BFP closely following :)

farfallarocks · 06/01/2012 14:01

Indeed it is cakes

I just received a very nice email from the consultant with STAY POSITIVE at the bottom. I love him.

A little bit of tittle tattle I know you brookers will appreciate. When I had my wedding dress fitted there was a girl in with me and we ended up with similar dresses and similar fitting appointments, we probably bumped into each other 2/3 times and I noticed her for some reason.
In some of worst metalling I often thought 'bet that girl from the wedding dress shop is preggers' and anyway, she was in the waiting room after me waiting to see the same gynae. How weird is that? Maybe she is a rat smacker along with K Mid

PopcornMouse · 06/01/2012 14:07

Omg far how weird is that?

Imps7 · 06/01/2012 14:19

That's really weird Far! £100 says that you end up in the next delivery room to her in 9 months' time :)

Another CM update (as I know you all love 'em!) - just had another much bigger glob of pink stuff, this time with a brown spot in it. I really wish there was something that could tell me today whether this is all baby related or just random snot leakage.

Sounds like there are some nice weekend plans going down in da hood. OH and I are going to be doing a large number of chores (inc painting), I'm going to make and freeze some nibbles for a wine and cheese evening we're hosting at the end of the month for a friend's birthday and then on Saturday night we're going to friends' for dinner and will stay over. Looking forward to it being a fairly quiet one TBH!

BeedleTheBard · 06/01/2012 14:23

Or maybe she just stalking you far ShockGrin

Great news about the new shade of paint imps, of course you could try the colour matching machines they have in DIYstores Grin

Imps7 · 06/01/2012 14:24

Grin Grin

farfallarocks · 06/01/2012 14:30

Imps you are 10dpo no?

First Response is calling!!!!

That is weird isn't it, especially as I was being all psycho about it a few months back. I bumped into a couple we met on honeymoon in Peter Jones a couple of months ago and she was preggers which is probably what prompted it!

imps I love the sounds of your cheese and wine evenings

NoMaybeAboutIt · 06/01/2012 15:03

That is strange Far But Imps is right, you will be next to each other in the hospital in 9 months time Grin

Imps you are so good with freezing stuff. I have never made stuff ahead like that. I really should use my freezer more! And I am excited about your pant snot. I am looking forward to a bit of PIAR action very soon.

Day time TV is awful. Therefore I am watching Home Birth Diaries

NoMaybeAboutIt · 06/01/2012 15:04

It's already annoying me. She already has 4 children, ne man, wanted another baby, came off the pill and was apparently pregnant within 3 days. WTF?

PopcornMouse · 06/01/2012 15:07

That's a quiet weekend, imps?! Sounds action packed to me!

I may have just frivolously purchases a handmade cookie stamp :o

PopcornMouse · 06/01/2012 15:07

*purchased

GenericDietCola · 06/01/2012 15:10

Maybe I'm watching it too! I'm obsessed with baby programmes!

Imps veeery excited re your CM - time to confirm soon methinks.

Farfalla I have those competitive (for want of a better word) thoughts. Weird that your wedding dress twin was at your gynae's as well.

Popcorn maybe the shag dictator will help make sense of the occasional long cycles as well and I like the planning ahead for DC2!

Beedle enjoy your long weekend!

Um, I may have started rat smacketing already, but perhaps it was a leetle bit too soon as I am in pain today. My cheapo tests arrived this morning, so I have tested and am still BFFP (big fat fake positive) so I'll test every week or so until I get negatives, then I will have a little celebration and start testing for ov! We went to see our friends and their newborn DC2 today. It was lovely as DD played with their DD while we chatted and baby-gazed. The baby is sooo cute and little and made me super sure that I want one too!

GenericDietCola · 06/01/2012 15:11

Pop love that stamp!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 06/01/2012 15:17

Loving that stamp too Pop

Generic how you feeling? This couple is quite annoying. I have only just discovered this program, but think I will now be hooked Blush If they talk abiut amazing sex once more though, I may heave Envy

I'm glad it went well seeing your friend. You are so positive MrsG, you are an inspiration!

farfallarocks · 06/01/2012 15:21

What ARE you lot watching? It sounds like some super smug lentil weavery version of OBEM?? Gluttons for punishment the lot of you.

generic you are so brave, here is hoping to a BFN sharpish (that sounds weird but ykwim) so you can get cracking asap.

GenericDietCola · 06/01/2012 15:23

Aw thanks Maybe and Far - big hugs! Wow we're all a bit emotional in here today!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 06/01/2012 15:50

We are Generic just imagine what we are all going to be like when we are updiffed Grin

DH has been watching it with me. We both almost fell on the floor laughing when she said she wanted the dog to watch her give birth so it could bond with the baby! Ad then when the husband ran downstair to tell the pub who had one the sweepstake minutes after the baby arrived! Shock

SweetieDoesIt · 06/01/2012 17:10

Afternoon ladies am in need of special brookers positivity dust today. DH just found out his best mates DP is preggers with DC6 ShockShockShock some people are just greedy. I am pleased for them but also a bit fed up, apparently they weren't trying. FFS Angry

Imps all sounding very good in your world, loving the very informative CM descriptions. Fx that this is THE BFP - so when you PIAR just so I know of course???

Munx you are a SWI trooper on the legendary scale, I hope you are ok and it gets the desired outcome. No one can say you haven't given it your best shot no pun intended of course this month!!

Far it is impossible to not make those kind of comparisions, at least you will know someone else on the delivery suite Wink

Beedle hope you have a lovely relaxing weekend, and all other brookers too of course.

Waves to all other brookers Generic, Pop, Olives and those we haven't seen for a while Stasi, Bean, Whims, Solars and everyone else I have missed Blush

NoMaybeAboutIt · 06/01/2012 17:31

Oh Sweetie DC6?! Shock that is craaaazy. You deserve a glass or 4 of the fizzy stuff. I am fairly sure you can soda stream anything. I am also very jealous you have a soda stream. I always wanted one as a kid. That and a Mr Frosty Smile

PopcornMouse · 06/01/2012 18:01

Oh sweetie Shock

In instances like these, I always think of Mr Far who I recall once pointed out that just because someone might have 6DCs (6!! Shock ) doesn't mean she's using up the world's allocation of pregnancies -- our time will soon come!! :)

(but seriously? SIX?? Shock )
