This thread is the one the Rat Smacketeers all become PSEPP and we are Brooking No Argument this is the case. Fact.

Ladies this thread is the one, I can feel it in my water [although maybe that's the drugs ], here you go

:(:( oh dear Geek, not good then?

Happy birthday to toddlyboo - boo hope you are feeling a bit better and can enjoy the party

Geek whats going on? Try not to do your manager an injury, difficult i know.

Oh Keep you got me all excited there, but it's actually 5 more sleeps to go, but that's at least one less than yesterday!

Thanks Boo I'm doing my best to hang on! Hope toddlyboo and you enjoy his birthday!

Scarlett, Sweetie how are you both doing?

My sleep has not been good this week at all, acu lady says its to do with the drugs and has given me some food tips that may help, I think I'm starting to feel the floppiness you mentioned Scarlett other than that I'm fine.

Waves to everyone else, Imps, Maybe, Sparkes hope you all are well!

Solars so glad you have great acu lady to give you the top tips. My sleep was all over the place when on the meds but I wasn't sure if it was cos I was off work. I was always too hot in bed which made me really restless.

I have been mentalling quite a bit today, I have had a bit of an upset tummy after not been able to go at all for last few days, sorry TMI, also really sore boobs, low down crampy pains and a funny taste in my mouth all day. Plus I was so shattered I had to go to bed for an hour this afternoon and then struggled to get up again . Not sure if the witch is lurking or what, only time will tell.

On a more positive note, pup can go outside for her first walkies tomorrow so that will do us both good getting out and about in the fresh air.

Sweetie might I suggest or what...... I have been feeling exactly the same. :):):)

Oh Sweetie some really great symptom spotting there!! Go emby go!

Well one family birthday dinner done, just got told dreaded toddler party on Saturday, really glad it's at a play centre, the most I have to do is drink tea. :):)

oh sweetie that is all sounding so promising. Not long now. I am brooking for you so hard!! go emby GO Are you taking drugs still? Hope your dh is ok as well, and looking after you.
Has pup had her vaccinations now then? can we see more photos of her? she is so gorgeous.

sorry solars i thought it was on monday... Oh well, now it's 4 sleeps! Hope you've got some nice plans for the weekend to keep time moving.

geek boo to your awful boss. i thought he was leaving? and boo to him keeping you so busy you can't come and talk to us!

boo how long before teenboo guesses something's up - did he ever know you're ttc? i guess teenagers are quite self absorbed. How will he take it? (i think teenboo is a boy...)

Sorry ladies, I didn't mean to just randomly post and run yesterday! Work has just got so stupid lately. Unfortunately, the manager who left was the only sane, rational, technically skilled manager in the entire department. New manager is a complete seagull - any hint of stress and he can't help but flap and squawk and spread it around like crap. He can't understand why I and my colleague aren't flapping too. Unfortunately he has been confirmed as my new permanent boss so this is now my life :(

sparks please please please don't stop posting, your posts always made me smile. I'm sorry you are having to put TTC on the back burner, but I am glad your professor has finally manned up to getting another job (or was he forced into doing so by a little thing called handing in your notice?!). Really brooking that your recent interview went well, but if not then it is only because fate doesn't want you being prevented from going for your dream job, which surely can't be far away.

sweetie that all sounds ever so promising! I know the progesterone will cause a fair few side effects, but the taste in the mouth thing is surely a pg sign! You are so strong to be holding out until Wednesday before testing.

solars not long to go for you now, either! And scarlett, you surely can't be far away?

boo chuffed to hear your still feeling slightly rough (but not too much so), hope toddlyboo's b'day went well.

Hopefully just a week away from ov here. Been feeling awfully emotional, not helped by being on my own at work a couple of days this week due to one colleague having to take time off to look after his kids while his wife goes on a training course, and the other having a few days off because his wife has just given birth. I can just about cope with that, but I really don't need to be forced to coo coo over the photos too :(

Morning ladies, Keep teen boo is indeed a boy but he is also deaf/blind. He hasn't noticed anything and being a teen has a lot to do with it, but it is also just the way he is. If something in his world is changing he needs to be told and have it all explained he wouldn't notice on his own, which makes keeping secrets loads easier from him.

oh gosh boo that must be difficult for you. Good news for keeping the secret, and lets you tell him at your own pace. I'm sure he'll love a new sibling!

geek poor you with work stress. What a dick-wad manager. Surely he can't last with all that flapping, and then you can step in and smooth it all over. I don't know what you do other than that it's IT-y, but is it the sort of thing where you can just get on and do your own thing and let him be twatty?

sparks let us know if you got the job. i didn't realise you've handed in your notice. The biggest fattest ironicest positive will be yours any day!

nearly the end of the week, girlies. Hang in there. (I'll beat you there, mwah ha ha)

geek we've threatened before to get my manager a business card with thd job title Chief Flapper

Post and run I'm afraid as have a trip to Manchester today an I have to go get my sodding wheels balanced first because the ATS man couldn't fit them on the balancer on his van after he changed the tyres yesterday

sweetie am sure you don't need me to tell you the Law of Symptoms my dear, brooking you continue to trail blaze through this process and show us all how it's done x

TTFN

Geek you were here and I missed you, good morning my lovely, may I wish you all the best on your sea gull hunt!!! We need you back here, does the twunt boss not realise brooking has to be your priority??

Keep not difficult now, we're used to it, we knew he was deaf when he was 2, but only found out he was going blind in 2010, he has good daytime sight at the moment but no nighttime sight at all, his daytime sight will start to deteriorate as he gets older :(

Brooking you get the job of your dreams Sparks

Morning everyone else

well i am brooking that his sight won't deteriorate, and that they find a magic cure before then anyway. you know the power of brooking! We are out here on medical research but god, there's just so much that needs to be researched...

geek doesn't your boss know that brooking is a full time job?

Morning ladies, sorry for the radio silence over the last week, well since what Monday? but thought I'd swooooosh by to give you a quick update. I didn't get the job, well Im assuming I didnt, I was meant to hear from them on Wednesday and have not heard from them. hey ho thats just the the way the cookie crumbles!!

I've not handed in my notice, rather I've been given my notice, long story but my job is directly linked with one particular person who is leaving, so my job will cease to exist when he goes the whole thing has been rather worrying/stressful and no one can quite tell me whats going on and what will happen to me, so I've spent the last few days trying to piece everything together!!

We're now focusing on getting me a new job rather than getting me diffed!! We'll not be going back to contraceptives, I dont really see the point anyways, but we've dropped everything. No more CBFM, OPKs, temping etc etc. and in fact so far its been rather nice, because I'm already a week in to my cycle and I've barely had time to think about it.

Sorry for not name checking but hope everyone is well and not mentalling too much about whatever stage you're at!!

keep up the brooking ladies

Yes indeed Keep 4 sleeps to go now! We have a cousins 21st birthday party to go to on Saturday, plus I offered to help with food so I am busy with that today! May have DSis and kids over after the party so that will definitely keep me distracted on Sunday, plus Monday I already know will be busy with work so hopefully time will soon pass!

Sparkes I am brooking that you get a new job very soon, so you can resume menkuling over ttc instead!

Have a nice trip to Manchester Scarlett

Sweetie how are you getting on with the new sets of meds now during this phase? Anymore symptoms to report?

Geek hopefully all this stress at work is just new manager settling in, hoping this will pass and things will calm down especially as he sees that you are remaining calm throughout all of this!

I had a better, but still disturbed sleep last night, will carry on with the tips from acu lady!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, any nice plans?

Solars glad you are keeping busy, so what delights are you making?

Sparks so sorry to hear about your job situation, but brooking that you get another very soon. It sounds like taking your foot off the ttc gas might be just what you need at the moment.

geek I work in IT too and some of the male managers have absolutely zero social skills. I am liking the seagull comparison, we defo have a few of those where I work too.

boo hope you have an excellent party tomorrow for toddlyboo, I hadn't realised teenboo had eyesight problems too, poor lad.

Well I defo think the witch is circling as just had pink cm

Implantation Sweetie

No Sweetie I will not have it!!

I'm spotting too so AF is obviously changing her mind and coming to me instead

I'm hoping with all my brooking spirits its implantation too or something to do with the whole process, plus with all the progesterone you're taking wouldn't it be impossible for AF to start anyway until you actually stop the meds?? Or am I just being naive about it?? Hope you can hang on in there, think positive thoughts Sweetie

Solars I am not really sure what to expect. They did say if you have a bleed to continue with the progesterone. So I don't think it is impossible. If it was a normal month AF would be due Monday but of course things are all over the place. But I haven't had any more spotting, despite frequent knicker checking!!!

Well pup gets her first proper walk today so a very exciting day and the weather looks perfect for dog walking.

Hope everyone has a lovely day planned, boo try not to over do it this afternoon

Brooking like mad for you, Sweetie!

And everyone else of course!

Waves to Gen

Sweetie hope you are doing ok and you got to take pup out for a nice walk and glad to hear no further spotting. Brooking little embie is making itself at home.

I feel quite run down today, possibly over did it with going to the party yesterday wish we didn't stay as long as we did even though we got back just after 10pm as the meds have been making me feel excessively tired anyway. Awoke this morning with a funny feeling in my throat and a bit of a headache, so I really hope I'm not coming down with anything. Luckily DSis and kids aren't staying over so a nice calming day for me will hopefully pick me up.

Hope everyone is ok, it's ever so quiet around these parts now.

Morning solars sorry to hear you're feeling poorly love, not long now til your scan though x

sweetie hope everything has settled down for you too, and not long to test now am excited and anxious for you! Bet youre having fun with puppy dog, mine is all that's keeping me smiling at the moment.

Sorry for no more name checks my finger is aching lol as on iPod!

I'm pretty much fuming with OH, I was really upset yesterday about this whole thing, he eventually decided he was still going to go our friends BBQ which was fine but he then decided to go on a bender in town, he rang me for no reason other than apparently to wake me up at 4am and rolled in at quarter to 5, I'm soooo annoyed. He stank of beer and fags and spent ten minutes hurling in the bathroom which was lovely . I got up at half 6 because I had no space in the bed, I feel like he's got no consideration for what I am putting myself through so we can BOTH have a child, I don't really trust myself to speak to him when he finally gets his stinking arse out of bed

Ha my Finger aches more now lol! Rant over, happy Sunday everyone cx
