Hello my lovelies
Grumpy here! Feeling a bit stroppy as DH has decided to organise a major social event two weeks before due date. Oh, did I say two weeks before due date??!! Plus t**t of a neighbour has continued to be deeply unpleasant. To date their idiocy has culminated in £3K of various charges. The only amusing bit of that saga is they have inflicted £1.5K of charges on themselves. And, if he continues to shout abuse at me in the street he will have to explain that to the fuzz. Freaking idiots.
Still, moving on, counting blessings, deep breath etc and putting on happy, jolly face?
Tina how are you doing on your 2WW? Keeping everything crossed for you. (BTW, just a tip, you need to be careful with eating liver when TTC as too much vit A allegedly not good.) Have you packed for your holiday yet? Great timing now the weather has turned. When do you fly?
Hey Shandy 33 weeks and counting!!! Yay!!
Hippy what?s the book you are writing? Hope you made the most of the lovely weather and countryside on the IOW. Gave you another wave from Tanners Lane at the weekend.
Hi Elena. Welcome to the snug. Hope you will be joining the Friday bistro? Tricky dilemma you are in. If you can have a go at some nonchalant TTCing then, why not? It?s whether you can get the mental balance right that could be the key, IYSWIM? Have you come to any conclusions on the matter yourself?
Twirly - is this link any good for interpreting your test results? Seems to be ok. www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hormonelevels.html#female
Gum so sorry to hear about you BFN. Not fair.
Diege /Lol /Italian - thanks for asking. Am doing pretty good. Everyone says I look really well. (or does that mean just plain chubby?) Saw consultant and discussed induction. Feeling better about it (and find Angels experiences/advice especially persuasive) and will read NICE guidelines. Anyone got any positive sweep experiences to share??!! Limited movement from LO so consultant sent me for a scan. Amazing to see baby?s face. All good apparently too. Also, passed GTT. Just need to carve out a nursery somewhere!! Going through a similar process as you Lol of dejunking. As DH threw out my table without asking, I now have free reign!!
Lol love your idea of building a studio for your DS in garden. Is really lovely thing to do. I hope I am going to be a similarly lovely Mum. I was so miserable as a teenager at home that I ran away to Uni at 18 and played in Brighton, barely returning home for two years!! Oh, those were the days. But really, would have benefitted from a couple of years at home rather than wasting time on an unbelievably crap degree, which has been diddly use in the long-run.
Diege did you hear about the award yet, Oh Superwoman?! I fully expect to hear you?ve won!! Can I have some of your panache please?
Jolls great news about your nuchal/bloods. Hope you are doing well still.
Angel cherish your last week!! Spoil yourself. Spoil your gorgeous little girl.
MiaAlexandrasmummy Lots more 
for you on your BFP. Isn?t it funny how things work out?! What a lovely birthday present!! Clever Mia! I bet you have checked that test over and over. And done a few more just to be on the safe side?! What will you do with your appt? We kept ours as a fall-back and only changed it the week before as I was 10 weeks by then. It sounds like you and DH are doing brilliantly generally. Keeping everything crossed for you. Keep being kind and gentle to yourself.
knickyknocks congrats on being a true and fully paid up fabulous fortysomething! Sticky vibes, and, lay off the work a little? not good for you to be overdoing it!!
Am interested in all your experiences on DHEA. I?d heard it can mess with your hormones, but maybe will give it a go for #2. Had no idea it could be part of IVF protocol.
I am done for now, so off to bed for me. Pooped, but DH has just thanked me for help with party organising and dealing with stupid house issues, so not half as grumpy as I was earlier!!
Hugs to all. One day I will be as good at name-checking as Italian. Sweet dreams and sticky vibes. xx
