Shit. Are you for real about Kanye & Kim?? Please let it not be so. J-Z & Beyonce were bad enough. And don't get me started on Peaches Geldof...Mind you, I can't wait to see the gargantuan state of Kim's already-vast ass. Hurrah!!

Bottle, your post made me laugh out loud - I know just the kind of women!

Bunny, I will never understand these women who go for a shit and a baby falls out. Freaks. I'd like to rant about the fact that I have had to place DP's very important Coenzyme Q10 tablets next to the remote controls as he keeps forgetting to take them. He has nothing else to do with his days whilst on leave than take the bastard tablets and he forgets nearly every day. He never ever forgets to log onto his Fantasy Football League every morning Hmm

I know a woman who didn't know that she was pg until she went into labour.
What gets to me is that it wasn't her first baby! You can kind of understand it when its a 15 year old girl who is really in denial about what might be happening, but this woman I know was in her 30s and had had a baby before!
She was feeling ill and her husband called her sister who lived over the road.
Her sister said, 'if I didn't know better then I'd say you were having a baby'. They got her to a hospital and looked up her skirt and low and behold, she was!

ImpatientOne · 31/12/2012 17:10

Hi ladies. I haven't been around these boards for a long time now - TTC 18 months now - but today I just needed it as got a big scan pic on my FB news feed from a school friend now expecting her 2nd baby and it really threw me Sad

I'm usually ok but it's probably compounded by having to book in for my Hycosy this morning (start of AF) and the end of 2012 which was the year we had hoped to start our family...

Anyway enough moping about, was good to see the conversation above about FB announcements etc - makes me feel less mean!

Quodlibet · 31/12/2012 17:15

Hi all

Just checking in to say ERPC went fine today and I am home recovering. Everyone was wonderfully kind, and it wasn't scary or traumatic at all. It feels like a huge relief to be seeing out the year finally past the last week's horrid limbo.

I haven't caught up with everyone's news but hope you are all fine.

BelissimaLol · 31/12/2012 19:36

Glad you have a clean slate to start the year quod

Wishing you all a lovely 2013 Grin

MotherOfCleo · 31/12/2012 20:26

just got a faint faint faint line on an internet cheapy, also when I checked it against ydays that had a v faint line too....only noticeable when compared to this one. Gives me slight hope. Just hope its not just me hoping. There are def 2 lines......gonna leave it till tues or wed an test again if AF stays away. Got I hope this is a good sign! xxx

MotherOfCleo · 31/12/2012 20:29

viviennewestwould · 31/12/2012 20:44

Quod, I am so pleased you've got that closure. I don't mean that insensitively, you understand. Sending you and your OH peace and very best wishes x

viviennewestwould · 31/12/2012 20:46

Rache1S · 31/12/2012 21:43

I'm glad it went well Quod and you can hopefully head into next year with a clean slate, safe in the knowledge that yours and your DP's bits work fine Smile

Great news Mother!

janey1234 · 31/12/2012 22:44

Oh quod bless you for letting us all know. My experience like yours last year made me realise how bloody wonderful the nhs can be; glad they made something so horrendous as bearable as possible. Here's to 2013 being a fresh start for you.

Mother - a line is a line! Congratulations!

Bunnygirlie · 01/01/2013 01:44

Nice to see you quod here's hoping 2013 is lucky for us all!!!

Happy New Year Ladies!!!

MotherOfCleo · 01/01/2013 09:56

I hope this is your year quod!!!

Im sorry to symptom spot when youve had such a tough time but you guys are my outlet, OH wouldnt care about where my cervix is lol. Grin

The witch is due today, so far no sign, no cramps at all, my cervix is actually much higher than the last 2 days, I can hardly reach it. Plus the brown spotting stopped yesterday and now I have lots of creamy cm (sorry way tmi).

Im hoping I implanted later than I originally thought (perhaps 9 or 10dpo rather than 7dpo) Will retest wednesday and hope hope hope for a good BFP.

HazleNutt · 01/01/2013 10:24

Mother, a line is a line! Congratulations!

Nice to see you back here Quod.

And Happy New Year to everybody!

Pipbin · 01/01/2013 10:25

Happy new year ladies.

Sounds hopeful Mother. Also interesting that you had some spotting. I get spotting every month and tend to start despairing.

We went to a friends for NYE and them and the other friends that were there are all planning to never have children and it got me thinking that if we don't have children it won't be the end of the world.

MotherOfCleo · 01/01/2013 10:36

Hi pip I dont usually have spotting so its a bit unusual...hoping good unusual not bad unusual.

viviennewestwould · 01/01/2013 11:40

Pip, right now I can't think of anything more brilliant than having friends who don't ever want children.

I'm at 9DPO and my nipples are so sore they feel as though they've been savaged by a rottweiler. They've been like this during the 2ww ever since I started Clomid. I assume there's a direct correlation between high levels of progesterone in the luteal phase and sore nips. Really annoying.

Purplemonster · 01/01/2013 12:23

Happy new year everyone! Hope 2013 brings you everything you want

Rache1S · 01/01/2013 12:26

Pip of course you'll have children if you want them! It may be a bit of a rollercoaster getting there but there is far too much assistance available these days for anyone who wants a baby to remain childless. Keep the faith, you sound like you will be such a lovely mum. Smile

Neshie · 01/01/2013 13:31

Happy new year everyone Smile

Pip I also spent NYE with two couples who don't/won't have children so I know where you're coming from

Purplemonster · 01/01/2013 13:38

I spent New Year's Eve with a load of other people who weren't drinking. Weird! On the plus side, no hangover!

Aquarius1 · 01/01/2013 13:55

Greetings and happy new year one and all Smile

Envy you pip and neshie I spent NYE with pg people & talking about pg friends - whilst am happy for them couldn't help feeling Sad and frustrated that I couldn't talk about how I was feeling. I keep telling myself 9 months isn't all that long in the scale of things & I just need to be patient....
