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...

The grans partner!

monkey hello busy lady, hope you sorted the spare room out and managed to enjoy the sunshine. I agree re the CBT, I've got CBT for dummies book and it's very good, makes a lot of sense. Thankyou for your kind words too.

moonmrs · 10/08/2012 20:35

Sorry monkey in my anger and upset about poor Tia I completely forgot to say how lovely it is to see you Smile So glad you and barbie had a fac meet up. You sound very busy but also happy.

I am on my 5th cycle of clomid, on the 2ww at the moment, one more cycle left and then its back to the drawing board Sad We have an appointment with the consultant in September if the clomid doesnt work, and I know they mentioned injections but I cant remember what for. Tbh I never thought that far ahead, I stupidly thought it would work its magic and I'd get pregnant on the 1st or 2nd cycle. Now I have to get my head around going through it all again. How are things with you on that front?

moonmrs · 10/08/2012 20:35

opps fac = fab Blush

BuddhaBelly · 11/08/2012 09:02

monkey I think the counsellor I saw after the m/cs practiced cbt and we touched on it I'm sure. I might have to have a look for that book rumours thank you Smile hope you got that spare room sorted Wink
4ever Awful news about Tia that poor girl and her family Sad something I hope selfishly that none if us have to experience firsthand just makes me shudder to think it was someone she trusted (normally is too) Sad forgot to add my Shock at S's artistic flair! We only manage scribbling Hmm
Blue Loving they our gushy post Wink so eloquent as usual
moon let's hope you don't have to find out what happens after clomid Smile

I am about to ov do wouldn't it be lovely if we could have a hat trick this month Wink

4everhopeful · 11/08/2012 12:21

Sorry in yesterdays horrific and Sad news I totally missed monkeys return!
Lovely to hear about an action packed and hopefully therapeutic summer for you! Smile How you doing now and whats the next plan?

Buddha and Moon sooooo hoping for that hat trick too! Smile Moon exceptional willpower on your part to not have tested yet!

I'm up for a hat trick, how lovely would that be Smile 4ever I have had so many bfns in my past that I just cant bring myself to do it anymore, at least this way I have some sort of faint hope, even if I do know in the back of my mind that af is on her way. And scrutinising those bloody sticks for that extra line kills me, holding it up to the light and taking it apart Blush

4everhopeful · 11/08/2012 15:29

Y'know as I wrote it moon, i thought maybe you were at that point.. I'm totally with ya, been there too so many times, holding it up at different angles in front of the window, checking and rechecking constantly.. Torturous really.. Unfortunately since discovering the treatment, which have to do really early in pg have had to test early, but often fantasised about how great it would be to test with no clue how late i was & have a scan to discover i was already 7wks or something! If only! Still pompoms a shaking for you, wishes wished, hopes hoped and generous amounts of babydust sprinkled all over you my lovely! Wink

I even get mine out of the bin the next day, just to 'double check' Blush I must have spent a fortune on hpts along with pre-pregnancy vitamins, mad huh. My sister didnt even know she was pregnant until she was about 3 months gone Shock how perfect would that be. Speaking of which, my nephew is nearly one, where the hell did that time go Hmm

moonmrs · 11/08/2012 15:38

Oops I hadnt finished!

Thanks for the good luck wishes, and of course the same back to you Smile we will get there....

4everhopeful · 11/08/2012 15:51

Totally hear that too! Another bin raider here also! Blush Us Emmsys must be keeping the hpt business going strong, and I've been taking sanatogen mum to be multi vits for the last 5yrs daily! £££££££ Can't believe your nephew is nearly 1, vividly remember how hard it was when your sis announced her preg... Right again though, we WILL get there Wink

OP posts:
moonmrs · 11/08/2012 16:16

Lol glad its not just me! Yes we must be, I've been taking vits for 4 years and dread to think how many hpts I've ben through....

I bought him some clothes today, that part never gets any easier, little clothes for little people always make me so sad. I've wrapped them already so I cant see them.

4everhopeful · 11/08/2012 16:46

Hugs to you for that, maybe blessed with Summer now, but Ill never ever forget the gut wrenching heartbreaking ache of all my friends and colleagues that had various close edds, and obliviously bleated on, particularly one who took delight in showing me her 2wk old DDs entire wardrobe as I put on my much practised fake smile while my heart just broke, and I sobbed the whole way home and night... Sad Totally empathise with you, yes, my miracles happened, but will never forget, and would hate to be as insensitive to anyone that's in the same boat I was... x

On a brighter note, we need a new thread soon! Grin

Good evening weebles Smile
Just to say I have a very busy fortnight coming up, our besties are arriving from Dubai in about 10 mins so dolly will be reunited with her best friend! Very exciting! We have a trip to Disney planned, complete with hotel stay an two day pass...any tips appresiated.
Then we are coming back to the uk for a long weekend in the Cotswolds before heading back to our home town.
I'm lurking and thinking of you all and if I can I will post.

Much love x

Neeko · 12/08/2012 20:50

Hi all. Apologies for being awol and for not having much time to post tonight. I feel really bad that I've not been the support that some of you need right now, but i am thinking of you all. Particularly loved blue's post about the strength of this thread.
Been busy trying to squeeze every ounce of fun out of the remaining summer holidays and hurtling towards my returnto work on Wed Sad. Bizarrely i'll probably have more time to post then as DD1 will be sent to bed early again and will stop hogging the laptop with the CBeebies games!
Have my fingers firmly crossed for a triple bfp.
An extra hug for Rumours too. Sorry again, I've not been about, but you know you can text me at any time.

4everhopeful · 13/08/2012 16:19

Barbie have a lovely time with your friends, and family back in the uk.. Enjoy Disney too! Smile

Big waves to Neeko! Don't be worrying about posting, you have your hands very full! Still can't get my head round how early you go back to school up there! Glad you've had an action packed holidays too!

Rumours how you doing? Do you have paed apt yet? Hope you're not stressing too much and finding some chill time too, especially with that final assignment to do...

Moon any sign of of af yet? I do hope not! I'm currently trying not too symptom spot and counting days to when's most sensible to test!
