About time I start a thread! Pom poms still shaking, bumps growing, babies and toddlers talk a plenty, while the support, laughs, hand holds and weebling continues...

Yes 4ever boo hiss to timeframes, theres nothing like a bit of pressure to stress you out hey. Glad to hear about your sister, sounds very scary but it must be a good sign she's been allowed home.

moonmrs · 04/08/2012 17:56

Just thinking, rumours has been quiet of late, are you ok, or did I miss a holiday somewhere?

Rumours · 05/08/2012 11:24

Coo eee hi moon I'm here, have been on hol. We drove back last night and hit horrendous storms through neekoland but nice weather in blueland, 'twas very bizarre as there's not much distance between them. We listened to the Olympics all the way home, we're all caught up in it too, my sis is there today.

Right need to try an dry a mountain of washing in the rain Hmm and catch up with the thread and cook lunch and iron and think about the last week before school starts again Sad, wish they had longer off.

barbie1 · 05/08/2012 15:04

Good luck with all that rumours! Wink Grin

Rumours · 05/08/2012 17:50

4everhopeful · 07/08/2012 08:37

Nope, still wading through the ironing 4ever, but have just taken the bits swimming. Ds1 moaned because he wanted the pool to be nice and quiet and have it to himself, and ds2 jumped in without his arm bands on so I had to do a whale splash to get him aaarrrggghhh, I'm glad I'm back home ironing, just soft play this afternoon Hmm

Rumours · 07/08/2012 12:57

I took my boys swimming along with my bits Wink

moonmrs · 07/08/2012 20:24

rumours Grin at you and the bits, lol how I did laugh! Sorry I must have missed you going on your hols, hope you had a good time and have managed to get through the mountain of washing - the only drawback of going away huh.

waves to 4ever

tis very quiet on here Hmm

4everhopeful · 08/08/2012 02:52

Grin Rumours the images you conjour up are too damn funny! Grin Hope you, your boys and your bits enjoyed swimming, Shock horror moment at Ds2 minus armbands and subsequent whale splashing! Hope you survived softplay?!

Big waves Moonmrs Smile agree soooo quiet on here... Hmm Where are you on your cycle? Wanna pick your brains actually, around ovulation, how often do you dtd? We are just every other day considering the old swimmers are meant to live about 5days, did every day on hol, and nothing, and last 2 preg only dtd once the week of ovulation so am starting to think its more luck than science whaddayareckon? Hmm

I'm actually awake with excruciating ovulation pain, owwww, more questions, anyone know if pain happens before, during or after? Last pg had ov pain, avoided dtd for a few days as hols were coming, hey presto, preggers, however also wondering if its post fertilisation and the pain is little blastocyst embryo making its way down my rusty old tubes? Hmm Either way, bloody ouch... Last official cycle of treatment, though official 'time up' on 31st.. Hmm ...so hoping if no joy now, squeeze one more go in...

On an entirely different note, brought my little darlin a few bits from the tres gorgeous new Next collection, in size 3/4! Shock Sad Got her leggings & tshirt last wk and no 2/3 in stock so held up 3/4 & fit fine so got 2 more outfits today - my baaaabaay! No longer my ikkle likkle one! (though of course will always be, even when she's 37! Grin)

Right intense pain subsiding to dull just about bearable ache, must try to get back to sleep and do positive visualisations of Phelps stylee swimmers fertilising egg! Grin

4everhopeful · 08/08/2012 03:55

Owwwwwwweeee still awake, since 2am.. unbearably painful, just took paracetamol and chocolate

barbie1 · 08/08/2012 08:28

Ouch ouch ouch 4ever, that doesn't sound good! I'm no expert at all on cycles and stuff but I think the pain is as you ovulate? Ie when the eggy thing gets released? Confused or I could be talking utter bollocks and you are best to wait for mls or someone who actually knows Grin in fact I'm surprised I managed to get pregnant at all!!!!

Waves to moon and rumours and everyone else missing in action, back soon....

4everhopeful · 08/08/2012 11:22

Big stretchy yawning wave to you barbie! Smile Sooo tired, just dull ache now, don't need opk's that's for sure... Hmm Just hoping we have success before the 3months is up, also can't believe its only just over 9wk since last mc, and only 1yr since mc before that... Scared of going through all that again, desperately hoping for a successful pregnancy and Ill gladly hang my boots up and count my blessings with gratitude..

Had the speech and language appointment today. I nearly cancelled it as he's started to say some more words, but I didn't, then I thought they would say all is well and normal, but he's being referred to a paediatrician.
I thought his naughtiness was normal. I don't know what normal '2' is as ds1 was different, now it seems ds2 is another different.
Maybe he's not naughty after all....
I'm rambling, just trying to get my thoughts in order. Can't quite believe we may be starting this process all over again.
What will be will be and all that.

barbie1 · 08/08/2012 14:21

Rumours not too sure what to say, here if you need to talk. Both your boys sound ace, I hope you are ok my lovely x

Rumours · 08/08/2012 15:52

I'm ok just pondering over it all. They did say that both boys are happy which is great.
I've spent all afternoon in the garden eating mini milks, an I've just put up a tent for them.
My stress levels have been sky high for a while now and this would explain a lot. I'm a head down get on with it type of girl, but I'm ready for some help now, which I should e getting via advice from the paed.

barbie theres not much anyone can say really, we don't know anything for sure yet anyway. We're not saying anything to anyone in rl because the 'theres nothing wrong with him' comments don't help. They mean well, but makes me feel they don't belive or doubt us. I still get them now with ds1.

4everhopeful · 08/08/2012 16:06

Rumours sending a heartfelt hug for an incredibly stressful and headfing time of it.. Sad Like barbie* I don't understand or know enough, to know what to say, except that the challenges you have already faced, make you a bloody fantastic and inspirational mum in my eyes, and thats 50% of the journey conquered... You need to offload, so hope you get some help through the paed too.. xx
