Feel like I?ve missed loads, I?ve only been away a couple of days but have been reading ? and giggling at various things, mainly kitty being too spaced out to pay for acupuncture and wine?s silky danglings!
Izzy ? fantastic news, I?m so happy for you. Hope everything moves forward uneventfully from now on.
Joycep ? holding a baby for a whole day? well I guess I know what I?ll be doing on Saturday now! 
at your MiL, is she being serious? The very thought makes me shudder
Wine ? I think we will just wait until the NHS round comes. I?m in no rush to go through the past few weeks again, I?m starting to feel like myself physically but emotionally I still feel exhausted.
I called the clinic today and politely asked when to expect a follow-up appt. The nurse was appalled that we hadn?t had one already, looks as though we?d been forgotten about as our notes were back in the filing cabinet. She was very apologetic and booked an appt there and then for the week after next. So, I?m hoping we?ll have more of a plan after that.
Frannie ? so sorry about the pregnancy announcements with your close friends, that's a hard one to take.
Lemons ? I know what you mean about nephews and nieces. Hugs and time with my only nephew are my favourite pastime, I love him to pieces. Now he?s got a little sister and I?ve got a gorgeous little niece so we can both spoil her rotten!
Glad to hear your collar bone is healing well and your DH is bucking the trend of general uselessness! Though I do have to take back - or at least qualify - what I wrote about my DH the other day. When I got home yesterday he had done all the gardening ? he hates gardening and has never, in the 10 years we?ve been together, done it without me nagging for days on end and then I usually give it and do it myself. I was genuinely touched if not suspicious that he has read my previous post on here!
Mrsd ? well done on surviving the baby visit and hoorah to your friend not prying on the ttc front. I think it?s only when you spend time with parents of babies/toddlers that you realize that the gloss people talk about isn?t all it?s cracked up to be, it?s bloody hard work most of the time.
Princess ? hello and welcome here. I?m sorry to hear about your ttc journey so far, so much of what you wrote struck a chord. Let?s hope the start of pokings and proddings brings some answers for you. Sorry I'm no expert on either mid-cycle bleeding or CBFM
Stasi ? nice to hear from you though I?m sorry you?re still having trouble with your hand. Fingers crossed the physio will do the trick
Kitty ? if I could turn the clock back, there are definitely people I would not tell about ttc. As you say, all a bit late now! And you really can?t know whether you?ve made the right decision until it?s out there. As an example, my Grandma ? who knows because I burst into tears at her house one day ? has been amazing. She thinks IVF is literally the best thing since sliced bread and keeps striking up conversations about how marvelous Robert Winston is (she thinks he invented it and I haven?t the heart to tell her otherwise!)
On the aunt front, she?s only in her early 50s. It's never really been discussed but more assumed that it?s a personal choice of hers not to have children. She met her partner when she was in her early 20s but he was 20+ years older than her and already had children from a previous relationship. TBH she?s renowned for saying insensitive things so I kind of half expected something along these lines, just makes me regret being open and honest in the first place but I was sick of all other insensitive comments about starting a family.
How did I miss a whole conversation about Aussie shampoos and Aveda! I used to use Aussie shampoo but realised it brought my eczema out terribly on my face and neck ? which made me think there must be something nasty in it. I then went through years of trying other shampoos until discovering the bliss that is Aveda. It?s my vice ? I love the stuff, justified by the fact that it?s the only shampoo that doesn?t make my skin dry, red and constantly blotchy.
Anyhoo, enough rambling from me. Waves to pout, mini and anyone else I?ve missed.
