[VJONES1985]

All aboard the par-tay train. Don't forget to check in and tell us what you've brought to the party. I'll start!

VJones 9dpo on Friday, brought Fondant Fancies

Writer that sounds stressful try to rest up and like the others have said it sounds like they are taking good care of you and bubba. Your in the right place. Hugs

Hormone profile came back as normal so no issues! DH will be next for a swimmers test....wonder how soon I can convince him to do that :/ hope not too long, as he's gutted as well. Gona indulge with some nice food and alcohol tonight and will remember that I am very blessed in my life with a good career, nice house, amazing DS and DH so I just have to count my blessings and know that my time will come. It is just such an emotional struggle though and wish the journey could be a bit easier in some way. And I totally have so much respect to those who have been trying for a long time!!! I'm heading in to cycle 6 and I'm finding it quite soul destroying....I only wish I had the strength of some others at these times!!

Oh I found the strength I need....in my fridge.....wine!!! ;)

Hi Mama. Reading your post. I was thinking. I can relate to what you say and there's no argument. I have been blessed with my gorgeous D.D. She's fantastic. I must have done something right in my life to get a prize like her,. I have a good career. Nice house and nice car so I know I'm really lucky.

D.P coming to mine at 10.pm for some baby making.

On a serious note though. I do know what you mean about it being a bit soul destroying at times, and it's in the lap of the God's really. It is an emotional struggle. I will be honest. I have sobbed my heart out before today when I have read about other people's B.F.P's. You hear about people D.T.D constantly and they can't fall pregnant and you hear of poor teenagers who fall the first time.
Back to being positive now though enjoy your wine. You deserve it. I've just had a brandy. Well you can't keep your life on hold, can you. xxx

Thank you everyone for your support. I was really low earlier, kept crying, I think it was just the shock of hearing the news. I feel better this evening though and as cheesy as it sounds, it's because I've seen my husband - everything seems more bearable when I'm with him. I have had my increased dose of my epilepsy drugs this evening so I know that even though my health has deteriorated, it is also being addressed. I'm trying not to focus on my heart rate/rhythms etc because again, I know that the professionals are aware of it and will be acting on it. Me stressing out isn't going to help or make any difference to things....all I can do is just take things on day at a time. The most important thing to me is that the baby is ok - I'm worried about myself but knowing he is ok is the only thing that is keeping my spirits up. I haven't been sleeping well for the last week (getting about 3-4 hours sleep a week) because deep down I've known my heart hasn't been right and have been lying awake worrying about it. When the midwife asked me how I was this morning I just burst into, tears and cried to her for about 10 minutes But now that I know everything is out in the open and treatment/advice is being sought I'm hoping I will be able to get some sleep tonight. My new Consultant, who I met for the first time today, is absolutely lovely - just really, really nice. I have absolute complete faith in her, she was really caring and thorough and I know I'm in the best hands. So I'm going to pick myself up and hopefully wake up in a more positive frame of mind tomorrow! Thank you for all the cuddles under the blanket

Writer I'm so glad to hear you and baby are doing ok and that your husband and all the medical professionals are supporting you well. Try your best to get lots of sleep tonight, you must take care of yourself and try to relax....sleep is a wonderful thing and we can always feel much better after a full nights sleep. I continue to pray for you and your baby's health and for your husbands strength to support you. Sleep well lovely. (tucks writer in again under the fluffy blanket with lavender on her pillow and a hot water bottle for comfort....sleep well my lovely..zzzzz)

Thankyou life, yes it is a very difficult time but appreciating what we do have is extremely important.

I have had to remove the lavender mama - it can trigger seizures in people with epilepsy, haha But thanks for the hot water bottle (I absolutely love them) and a huge thanks for your prayers and thoughts x

:/ whoops writer! Intentions were all good x

Writer! So sorry to read about your day yst, must be so hard but it sounds like you are being v strong as its not easy and i'm so glad you feel you're in safe hands with your medical team and of course your dh looking after you. Know this is easy to say and so hard to do but try to think of it all in little steps and take each day as it comes, it can all get bit overwhelming otherwise. Hope you got some sleep yst and are feeling ok today. You can stay snuggled under the blanket in front of the fire for as long as you like

Without the lavender :/ whoops!!!!

Yes mama, no lavender, but we can make up for it with gingerbread lattes, the smell can waft over us all and make us feel festive

How you doing? I popped the blanket in the wash earlier to spruce it up as it unfortunately has had a lot of use recently, so its now extra fluffy&smells delicious. Tucks mama in tightly & pokes the fire

I'm ok....just have to deal with 3 days of spotting now before full af so annoying! but I'm ok. Can't face December bus just yet, save me a seat though if your jumping on soon. Thanks for washing the blanket, smells amazing.....snuggles back under blanket by the fire. how are you doing today? X

I'm doing ok thanks. Feeling brighter and have hopped on the Dec bus, will save you a seat, you come across when you're ready. Glad you're ok but know the spotting must be so hard, bet you wish she'd just get out over with! Stay snuggley here & in a few days you'll be talking sex plans At the mo though its important to take it easy and be kind to yourself, a few more viewings of the Holiday are in order methinks....cracks open a bottle of fizz&chinks glasses....well we may as well do this in style

I must say visualisation is a powerful thing!!! The fluffy blanket and lots of comforts we discuss on here makes me feel so much better!!! :)

They do indeed Mama I tell you I literally feel like I have a little place where I can just see us all sitting on your big squishy sofa, tucked up under our blanket waiting for our BFPs, glass of vino in hand having a chin wag, tunes playing, fire on, cakes baking in the oven....oo and now a twinkly, sparkly Christmas tree in the corner

It is actually so true.....DH and I shopped today for another Christmas tree and more decorations!!! And I am just so happy I can't wait until 1st December to put them all up! :) life is good....its just patience that I must learn........

Hey mama, thought I'd let you know that a few of us want to use your house for a little party this friday. So far there are me, flymo, moffit and spinning. Maybe more in a few days. Would that be ok? We can bring nibbles etc, it's just nicer at your house than anywhere else!
Thanks, Sazzle x

I'd like to come to the party at your house too mama on Friday if its ok?

It's looking really festive in here now and very welcoming!

Can I ask are the poas parties every Friday? Far far too early to poas this Friday as I think I ov'd at the weekend (not holding my breath!) and although I'm not due a bfp until early December, I really want to join in with the poas excitement!!! If my opks are accurate then I will be 12dpo next Friday - only 5dpo this Friday, which I'm assuming is far far too early!!! So I'm thinking next Friday? Mama are you hosting??

Sara it seems there has been a poas every friday so far, so next friday will be perfect for you. Yes I think 5dpo is too early - I'll only be 8dpo this friday which is also too early but I'm ok with testing for a laugh! Mama I'm sure will host for you next friday!

Thanks sazzle, I hope she does!! Else I will have to host all for myself which wouldn't be very much fun haha. How sad am I getting so excited to be part of the poas party!! It's my very first time peeing on a real baby detecting stick!! Only done the opks so far!!

Ladies!!!! Of course I will host a party for you all on Friday!!!!! :)
The parties are usually on if there's a few people testing together so sara gather up the troops and we can have another one next Friday!!! Or if not, then there's no problem with a mini party for you to test next wkend!!!

Good luck ladies! I will start making a big Christmas Cake! And the mince pies, cream and mulled wine will be flowing :)

Fantastic, thanks Mama

I'm going to make a festive chocolate log and some Christmas tree shaped shortbread!! Will also bring some mulled wine!!

Here's hoping to some bfp's on Friday
