Hello ladies.

Aww Thanks for your congrats we are very happy and loved up Smile

Wood I got a horrible cold at the end of my holiday too. Told my DP he was going to have to risk getting it when I wanted to DTD!

One I have gotten a bit fat too but mine is alcohol/fish&chips related.. health kick starts now we are back in uk.. Confused
eeek have a lovely time in Rome how lovely that'll be soo nice! Hope AF stays away too..

Vicky that is a Coincidence! ! Do you think we know each other??!! Jealous you are in Spain I am seriously considering moving to a hot country..

ok.. It's hard to guess as i always judge on a friend's bump... but I'm going to go team Blue just to be different! Grin

You are all right of course I gave myself a slap and just dtd.. I mean even if it was a bit late it's still fun

Is it just me or is this week going slowly it should Def be Friday already!

This week is going stupidly slowly!! Ive had to order dominos to make it better!!

I need the extra calories from the smep its bloody knackering.

broodysnoopstie · 23/01/2014 21:21

mmmm dominoes good choice I was out with a friend tonight and we had a waggamamas and a bottle of wine it was lovely felt like a real treat. Nearly the weekend!

broodysnoopstie · 25/01/2014 16:07

Happy Weekend Smile x

woodwaj · 26/01/2014 08:52

Happy weekend ladies it goes so fast doesnt it? Just been woken up by the cat/rain no rest for the wicked eh! Hope the holidays are going well and your scan countdown is going quickly vicky! !

broodysnoopstie · 27/01/2014 07:55

Time is going slowly 1 week into 2ww. Hope you are all Ok x

woodwaj · 28/01/2014 17:08

Are you picking a date to test or just waiting for AF broody?

I saw my first pregnancy announcement of 2014 on facebook today. I think the balance of jealous to happy ratio maybe shifting slightly!!!

Im thinking of a mumsnet name change. Any ideas? ?

Vickyvix · 28/01/2014 18:48

Hi Ladies! Sorry have not been on for a few days ..... I am trying (and failing) to make time pass quicker.

broody I am sure we don't know each other in RL, it's just a strange coincidence.....unless of course your fiancé's name begins with A.....and I'm seeing you on Friday!! I hope time is going a bit quicker for you and your 2ww. Have you got a milestone in mind for when to test (or not test)?

wood my imagination with usernames is pretty poor. You may be able to tell!

one how did your bloods go, think it was yesterday? Do you have to wait until 31st to hear anything?

Btw - for anyone with a sweet tooth, that likes Creme Eggs, I have just discovered Creme egg ice cream! Amazing :)

broodysnoopstie · 29/01/2014 08:29

Well I was going to wait for AF due next week but the feb bus is having a poas party on Sunday when I'll be 12dpo so going to test then. I'm fairly sure I'll be out this month but still can't resist the urge to test!

wood you could do that whole your first pets name with your first Street name thing that might be a bit long though!

Hope bloods went well One

how are you feeling Vicky?

broodysnoopstie · 29/01/2014 08:31

ps. vicky just a Coincidence as it's a No to both!

Vickyvix · 29/01/2014 14:43

Ha ha thought so broody :)

I love the POAS party! Good luck with it on Sunday, I shall keep my gingers crossed for you.

I'm good thanks, counting down the days until scan, time goes so slowly - 4 days to go (excluding today and scan day cos I need to make the number as small as possible!) I'm still feeling team pink but who knows. The June antenatal thread has a massively high number of boys at the moment, it's about 15 boys to 5 girls so maybe we'll boost the girl figure......but all I really want is to know that beany is ok.

wood I like broody's suggestion of first pets name plus something, could use mothers maiden name.....doesn't that give your 'porn star' name??

onelifeonechance · 30/01/2014 07:13

Morning ladies Smile

I'm back! Rome is amazing!! If you've never been you must!! Put it on your bucket list, right near the top!

Well af turned up bang on cue so it's on to cycle 9 Hmm I made up for it with extra prosecco which helped to numb the pain a bit!
Bloods all done, thanks for asking all. We've got an appt with dr on 31st, not entirely sure if dh's results will be back by then as he was told a couple of weeks (surely it can't take that long?!!) so not sure if I've jumped the gun a bit making the appt for this wk, may need to be wk after, will let you know.

Ooo V not long to wait now, exciting!!! Think with your sweet tooth cravings it's def team pink! Plus sounds like we need bit of girl power on your AN thread!! Grin

Wood, no idea re name change I'm afraid, mines bit pants, I sound like a boy band!!! You'll be pleased to hear our lounge wall has now been plastered!! Which means our excuse for not painting it has gone!!

Broody, good luck at the party, keeping everything crossed!!!

broodysnoopstie · 30/01/2014 09:05

Morning. . wow One I'm so jealous I would love to go. Glad you had such a good time. Sorry AF showed up but prosecco helps with everything. . fingers crossed for lucky number 9!

Vicky that is so soon! haha I totally do that when I'm counting down don't count the day I'm on or day of the event! --only 2 days until I can test!

Team Blue or Pink I think we are all with you on just wishing you have a perfect sticky bean. . It's so exciting and lovely Grin

A few ladies on Feb bus are having a tough time this week but I am lucky enough to be feeling very calm and relaxed it's kind of great to be so sure you aren't pg so you aren't worried about seeing a bfn when you do test!!

woodwaj · 30/01/2014 22:14

Usernames are so rubbish to think of everyone on here seems so creative though. My pet and street name would be fishthorpe. Obviously I was as creative as a child with pets name as I am now. I dont think fish is a good idea on here somehow haha.

I will be logging on sunday to check on your poas party broody!

Glad you had a good time in rome onelife I hope it was a good distraction from the stupid AF. I went to the docs a week after my oh had his sample done and his results were in so I hope your hospital is as efficient!

Vicky id quite like to know if you're thoughts on possible names change once you know the sex seems common! I like the few names I have thought of but the longer it takes the more I start rethinking!!

onelifeonechance · 31/01/2014 09:47

Happy Friday!! :)

Well, I've rung the docs and as suspected dh's results are not back yet, sheesh. So we've rebooked appt for next fri as that's the only time dh can make without having to explain anything to work and means we see the same doc. The good news is though the receptionist told me all my bloods came back normal, want to get the specifics from the Dr but obviously pleased about that, just hoping it's the same for dh, eek.

So it's back to waiting, seems to be all we do!!!

Any fun plans for the weekend? We're off out for a meal tonight and we've booked a cheaply deal on a hotel so we can both have a drink. Then maybe the cinema tmrw.

Good luck for Sun Broods!! :)

broodysnoopstie · 31/01/2014 10:09

TGIF!!

Thanks V One & Wood..10dpo and not a symptom in sight! Fully expecting a bfn on sunday and then will wait for AF next week..

Me and DP have zero weekend plans but think I might convince him to go for a drive with me to have a look at prospective wedding venues Smile

One that sounds like a lovely weekend enjoy! hope it makes the next stage of waiting go a bit quicker. Great news that your bloods are normal fingers crossed for your DP's swimmers too!

Ha Wood!! That message about fish not being appropriate made me laugh out loud! Do you have a nickname that only your dp calls you that you could use or adapt?

x

Vickyvix · 31/01/2014 16:13

Ha ha totally agree wood that fish might not be the most appropriate - my username is hardly imaginative, it amazes me how people can come up with such good names!

I couldn't adopt the first pet thing either, my first pet was called Roger!

one glad you had a fab time in Rome, with lots of prosecco (very jealous), it's a beautiful city, I'd live to go back some time.

Also v glad your blood results are good one that's great news and I really hope that your DH gets good news next week too.

Thanks god it's Friday - this week has dragged. Time can go so slow when you're trying to wish it by quicker. Me and DH are out with friends tonight to celebrate a friends engagement which should be fun, I'm struggling to keep my eyes open at my desk but hoping I get a second wind later on.

Best of luck on Sunday at the party broody will keep my fingers crossed and check in to see how you get on.......and looking at wedding venues sounds like loads of fun!

Happy weekend all :)

Vickyvix · 31/01/2014 17:13

wood I forgot to say re names, we have a short list of 4 girls and 4 boys that we both agree on so it will definitely be interesting to see if they stay the same after Monday. Obviously we will be able to narrow down to just one set of 4 but I wonder if any of those will change completely?!

My absolute no1 name at the start is no longer the front runnerafro me and I think I actually prefer hubby's choice now. So difficult though.

broodysnoopstie · 01/02/2014 15:04

TMI ALERT!! Sorry ladies but need some advice. I am 11dpo AF due tue/wed/thurs next week. Today we dtd and after when cleaning myself up (sorry) I noticed blood. Light Pink like blood mixed with DP's semen (sorry) I haven't bled since it was like I'd just bled whilst dtd... I find that worrying. Any thoughts? ? oh and dtd wasn't especially energetic or rough. . more lazy sat morning cuddly style! ! Sorry again for tmi Blush please let me know what you think x

LMH20 · 01/02/2014 17:05

Hi everyone just joined today, wanted to ask how long does it take on average to conceive me and partner have been trying for almost 3 months and nothing recently tried softcup method and have ordered pre seed from boots today after loads of good reviews feels like im on a deserted island with no one to understand what its like ttc :( im 20 partner is 27 so dont think there is anything stopping us it just doesnt seem to be happening

woodwaj · 01/02/2014 19:53

Ahh broody no pet names for us, and anything he does call me isn't worth bragging about haha.

Also I don't think you need to worry about today. I really don't know much about that but I have heard people mention it on other posts and nothing ever seems to be wrong, are you in any pain or has it happened since? If anything im hoping its a good thing.

Ive had a quiet weekend so far!I hope your night away was good onelife What film did you see?

Is your scan Monday Vicky I was trying to figure it out and was getting nowhere fast!

Hi LMH I defo wouldn't worry about that it takes the average healthy couple 12 months!! Your still very early on relax and enjoy!

broodysnoopstie · 02/02/2014 11:50

Hi Wood, nope no blood since or any pain.

So was supposed to POAS today but when I went to get test out of drawer realised I only have digis I thought I had a superdrug one left but obviously used them all. Didn't POAS on the digi as thought I was too early for that but felt the need to pee so did an OPK.. I know I am mental. But it came out a big dark positive... Isn't that weird???

If it is tomorrow Vicky Good Luck!!!

woodwaj · 02/02/2014 12:30

It is weird and I need you to go to the shop haha.

I think AF is on the way it was dark when I wiped this morning so will be keeping an eye on it. Im on cd 27 earliest I have had id 28 so not unusual I suppose. It's better than having to decide if I need to pop pills or not.

When are you going to test?

broodysnoopstie · 02/02/2014 12:45

I don't know. According to my app I'm not due until 6th but have a feeling AF could arrive earlier than that. If I had a test in the house I'd do it today just to stop obsessing but seeing as I don't I sort of think I could just wait until Thurs!!

Sorry AF might be with you. . 28days isn't short though.. no pills is good.

broodysnoopstie · 02/02/2014 12:46

ps. I can't sneak out to shops as don't want DP to know I'm testing early!
