I am stuffing myself with toast and houmous

DD has been sleeping better and then tonight bang she is refusing to settle, I have a big meeting tomorrow am and need to prepare - could have done without the added frustration. Today has been one of those kerfuddle days - has gone wrong right from the moment I woke up.

kitty before the summer I was having a 'rhetorical' discussion with my team leader about pg and families etc - first day back after my holiday I was told she was pg - I am delighted for her - but argh inside

hoping for good news for all those having a shit time of it

kittykatskumkwat · 18/09/2012 21:02

Another she's not my friend is she? She did exactly the same thing- oh and this is another, I've been blessed with having 2 friends do it!!!

winkle2 · 18/09/2012 21:33

FFS so this morning me and OH talk about stopping drinking and what is he doing now? He's out at the pub with his friend argggghhh

winkle2 · 18/09/2012 21:34

Nice to see you RIBS :)

winkle2 · 18/09/2012 21:57

Just had a call from my OH and he says he's only had 4 and he's leaving soon.

God this TTC has driven me into a nagging nutcase.

Why cant we be one of those couples that gets pregnant without having to change anything?

Lolcbcblemonlime · 19/09/2012 05:43

Hello lovelies
Loved the nurse chat! Maybe lesbians don't have periods? Grin
Oh thunder maybe we need to try animal names now for bfp! Congratulations!
I'm 11dpo here. Have been on hol for a week and had a drink everyday as friend not aware of ttc Blush
However didn't get drunk, it was mainly half a bottle of wine. Thinking ppl who are not ttc would drink!
Hope everyone else is ok xx

Kittenkatzen · 19/09/2012 07:23

Morning! Hope you had a lovely holiday lol, and I'm sure the drinking was absolutely fine Smile

winkle did your DH come home relatively sober?

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 19/09/2012 08:28

Hi lol the drinking will be fine. Holiday sounds great I am very Envy

winkle ttc doesn't bring out the best in me either.

kittykatskumkwat · 19/09/2012 09:27

Winkle- do you want me to come over and give you dh a kick!!
Im embarrassed to say I may have jumped the gun abit about not being pregnant this month, clearly I do not know my body after all, I've done a frer this morning and there is a clear line, obviously this while being good fills me with fear again about what might be to come especially as its even before af would be due but I'm really praying this month is it!!
Just waiting for my testing buddies lol and when to be as impatient as me Blush

winkle2 · 19/09/2012 09:33

Congratulations kitty! Great news!

Looks like animal names ARE lucky this month!

it was fruit one month and then animals... Hmmm... What category does a winkle fall under?!

Hub was soberish. He said he'd had 5 but I reckon it was more like 6. Cue ANOTHER late night talk about not conceiving and cutting down on alcohol. Sigh. I'm trying to make him look at his alcohol intake over a week. I totted up he'd had 19 drinks over the past week :( I'd had 6.

Thundercatsarego · 19/09/2012 09:37

a winkle is another name for a periwinkle, which is undoubtedly an animal Wink

Kittenkatzen · 19/09/2012 09:40

Ooh kittt that's exciting! When is AF due?

AnotherCerealNameChanger · 19/09/2012 09:44

Congratulations kitty!

I have been struck down with a D&V bug, bad timing, hope I feel better by tonight

kittykatskumkwat · 19/09/2012 09:50

Winkle- I definatly think you fall under animal!!
I did get dh to cut back on alcohol this month, I did an Impression of his sperm drunk banging into everything Blush
He agreed to not drink every night ( he had been close too) and only drink for a special occasion like a night out or party etc, he did pretty much stick to it and had about 4/5 days when he had one or a few.
Kitten I'm not sure when af was due as having had a proper cycle as such yet but I was 10/11dpo today's based on EWCM and smiley a week last sat
It's still early days though isn't it, I have even been out and bought a new 5 pack of white knickers just for checking < mad, morbid and probably just plain wrong>

kittykatskumkwat · 19/09/2012 09:50

Kitten- when will you test?? As a fellow kitten I feel the vibe is strongGrin

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 19/09/2012 09:51

Congrats Kitty and Kick! Hope it all works out for you both. :-)

Think yesterday was ov day (opk line faded) but we were so knackered and full of a cold that we left it. We had done it the day before, and we might try it later today although we've just both dosed up on painkillers and we're slumped in front of the sofa with a box of tissues! So much for all the vitamins eh? lol

I'm assuming this is dpo1 now? I haven't got a clue about this stuff.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 19/09/2012 10:06

Congrats kitty really pleased for you.

Well I just had my GP app to discuss my recurrent chem pregs. There's not a thing wrong with me Confused. 21 day bloods were 51, so I def ovulated and the progesterone levels don't seem too low.
Uterus is normal, ovarys are normal, endometrium is normal. GP has referred me to gynecologist.

kittykatskumkwat · 19/09/2012 10:16

Thanks when, how do you feel about tests? Is it a relief or were you hoping they would be able to say oh it's x and here are some pills?
It will be good to be referred to an gyni though

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 19/09/2012 10:20

Hi kitty. To honest I had a feeling the tests would be normal. Almost all the blood tests were to check I was ovulating (and I already knew I was ovulating).

Will be good to get referred. Not really sure how I am feeling, bit up and down I guess, being in the 2ww doesn't help.

kittykatskumkwat · 19/09/2012 10:31

No it's horrible and I guess I'm still there as well, do you feel different this month? Do you think you would test anyway whatever happens?? Maybe just rip the band aid and poas??

Lolcbcblemonlime · 19/09/2012 12:06

Hey kitty!!!! Congratulations!!!
I'm def changing my name next month if I'm not pg this time! What shall I go for? Lollioness? Smile
I can totally understand fear. Try and keep calm and test again!
Woody have u got a line as well?? Wow.
When I'm confused as tried to catch up with whole thread... Are u still waiting with me or have u cracked?
Good to be back. Missed u girls Smile

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 19/09/2012 12:18

Congrats kitty! :-)

Kittenkatzen · 19/09/2012 13:17

Thanks for you when, as if the 2ww isn't frustrating enough. It's good that your results were all clear though obviously, just frustrating that like kitty said its not just a case of pop this pill, all better.

kitty I'm not sure when (if) I should test really....AF is due Monday/Tuesday. I have a no early testing rule with myself, but I'm booked to go wine tasting on Sunday.....argh!
