Hi ladies - thanks so much for the good wishes ..I have been on cloud nine this week-end...
Well SOH we were in the restaurant and he had chosen a booth at the back, I never thought anything of it, and we proceeded to have a lovely meal and were very romantic etc.. then when we left and got home- we live in the middle of nowhere- he said lets go out for a walk, so we did and we climbed the hill behind our house and he just GOT DOWN ON ONE KNEE and pulled the ring out and asked. I started blubbing and forgot to answer. Just a lovely memory to treasure now. First man i have ever wanted to marry.

Coggy- you and Soh are right up my street with these films- I love Running Man too and lso have seen the original Ring- now that film did terrify me, and I'm not easily scared.

oooooh...missed you!
Hope you are having a FAB time away Trace....I am very !!!!!

Andi...that sounds lovely...........

ShowOfHands · 11/09/2006 09:24

Dammit, missed you trace! Glad you're having a good time.

Andi, you're going to be a Mrs! Lovely. And it's good to have something else 'big' to focus on other than ttc iyswim. Any ideas about the big day? You said overseas, where were you thinking? How's the hair? I have a bob now, shortest it's ever been but I really like it.

Coggy, Ring is a thriller, it builds up slowly and the end is truly frightening. I'd recommend it but you must watch the Japanese original, much better than the US version. I've seen Skeleton Key too, you're right it's pretty obvious who's up to no good, but the twist's pretty unexpected. I loved the name of one of the characters, something like Papa Justify. Is that right? DH forced me to sit through Silent Hill the other day, which wasn't as bad as anticipated but really the level of violence was so unnecessary. And the female leads were laughable in their tight leather clothes and heaving bosoms (I read somewhere that when the screenwriter originally pitched the idea it was turned down because there were zero men in the film). He rewrote it to include a male detective and Sean Bean with a strange American accent. All very odd. Anyway, made DH watch Walk The Line as punishment and it was absolutely fab. Have you seen it?

Oh and for the record RUNNING MAN IS TERRIFYING. That guy with the hockey stick?

Angsthase · 11/09/2006 09:53

Hi All,

Andi how lovely and romantic. Congratulations. That's really fab.
My DH's proposal was hilarious "If I were to ask you to marry me, what would you say?"!!! I should have said ask me, but didn't want to put him through any more agony.

Didn't manage the whole w/e without any alcohol, but pretty pleased with my relative abstainence.

Re the hairdressers. The only way I survive is if I wear make-up so when I look in the mirror it's not as pasty, sad and old as it would be au natural. I hardly ever wear make-up so I feel relatively glam compared to normal.

CD21...Oh the waiting just goes on and on and on...

andi0411 · 11/09/2006 15:52

Hi ther ladies- thanks so much for your good wishes- you're very kind.

I think we'll get married abroad- my brother lives in Aus and I'd like him and his kids involved- don't think me unkind if i say i don't really want my parents there, they have caused me and my brother immeasurable misery over the years and i want a fun , happy day not hell.

Still laughing about the hairdressers- after all my trauma- i only got a trim- you can hardly tell. I wish i was ike your pal, Coggy, who can demand silence- but i can't i just let her go on about her sex life and alcohol consumption - i felt like shouting-Little Britain style ' I'M A LADY!!!!' [GRIN] BUT I DIDN'T. also i had made myslf up and done my blooming hair just to go....mad or what?

Ps-- do any of you have an opinion/info on the pros and cons of taking baby asprin in ttc- i'm not sure why it's used etc..any advice?

Angsthase · 11/09/2006 16:21

Hi Andi,

I asked about the baby aspirin on a thread and got shot down in flames. I think it's supposed to help with getting blood to the Uterus ?? Not sure, but the advise I got was under no circumstances should you take it unless explicitly told to do so by your doctor.

I decided to leave well alone, but there are others on here who recommend it.

Difficult one.

andi0411 · 11/09/2006 16:29

Hi Angsth- yes i've seen this contradictory advice. I'm not sure what to think. Perhaps it's one of those where someone was advised by their doc to take it for a particular thing and then told others about it, but really you need your doc to tell you to take it etc... I think I'll leave well alone for the mo!! Thanks anyway

I've got the grapefruit juice/ the cough med/ the flaxseed / b6/ folic acid/ multi vit- do you think that's enough to be going on with? lol

Angsthase · 11/09/2006 16:35

Wedding in Oz. How cool.

Must admit the hairdressers is always more of a chore than a pleasure. And to think how much money we leave behind. I always worry if I'm not nice to them that I'll leave looking like a muppet! LOL

Angsthase · 11/09/2006 16:37

Sounds like you're about where I am with all the extras. Think I'll start rattling soon

I've not tried the flaxseed though. What's that for?

I'm also taking Royal Jelly. Don't know if that will help or not.

pinkranger · 11/09/2006 16:45

Hi ladies, Just dropped in to say hi , off shopping to bluewater in a miute so wontbe on long.
Wedding oz andi - that sounds fab , i got married 24th sept last year and it was one of the best days of my life!!!!!!!! Enjoy the prep , we had a smallish wedding and that made it all less stressful!
Trace - logging on while away

Booboobedoo · 12/09/2006 12:31

Hi everyone.

Just popped in to see how you're all doing, and chuckling to myself about coggy's friend's half-moustache. Hehhehheh.

I trim mine back to the skin with nail scissors twice a week (it's pretty light anyway). I've got a friend who bleaches hers. The thing is, she's really hairy coz of PCOS, and when the light's shining on her it does look a bit.. well... Magnum P.I.

pinkranger · 12/09/2006 12:58

Very quiet today , everyone enjoying the sunshine?!!

I am very excited today as my Af is on her way ( I know that sounds stupid) but it will be my first one since M/c so i know that everything is going back to normal and i know my cycle days again!
Also means that that when i go away for the weekend with DH at end of september i will be CD17!!!!! That when i OV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cant belive how excited about this i am!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you are all well

Nicee to see you boo , hows the MS

ShowOfHands · 12/09/2006 13:22

Ooh Pinkranger, that's fab news. I was just as excited after my m/c when af showed up. And like you I ovulated on our holiday a couple of weeks later. Unfortunately DH developed man-flu and coughed spluttered and snored his way through the holiday. We did zero BD as a consequence!

Glad to hear you are getting back to normal.

It is quiet on here isn't it? Where is everybody?

pinkranger · 12/09/2006 13:28

i know soh , never thought i would ever be this excited by AF!

andi0411 · 12/09/2006 16:31

Hi ladies-

Pink- glad your af is here- now you can get down to business- iykwim? i felt like you and SOH- it was so good to get my bod back to 'normal' etc- though it still hurts in my heart etc

Booboo- lol about Magnum- thats a ...nice touch!!!i can hear the theme tune now.....

Pink- i'll be having a small wedding, not up to a big ' do' -looking forward to planning s'thing other than ttc- who knows i may have a baby carrier round my dress--lol- or a bump- aarrgh!!!!

andi0411 · 12/09/2006 16:33

ps- hi angsth- what does royal Jelly do and when / how much do you take?

TIA

Natty1806 · 12/09/2006 18:59

Pinkranger - glad i am not the only person who was exciting about getting her AF this week. x

Boo - are your 15 weeks now? MS stopped? do you have a bump or is it too soon? when do people normally start to show?

Hope everyone else is well.

Nothing exciting to report from me. x

coggy · 12/09/2006 19:46

Fab news Pinky.
I never seem to get a holiday timed well with ttc!
It always seems to be when DH is on night shift or on a (fairly rare) boozy night out!!!

Booboo....good to hear from you me old mate.
How are you doing?
I know what you mean about the old bleaching thing...never done it myself but seen a few bad ones in my time.
If it got bad enough to do anything really serious then I'd pay to get it sizzled off that's for sure!!

Ahem.........I mean my friend would.

And Andi....will you stop humming that tune or I will have to get you removed from this sofa!!

pussycatmomma · 12/09/2006 22:48

hellloooooooooo! hiya everyone, i am back.......
For those of you who have forgotten me already, have been at my parents all week looking after their farm while they have been on a little holiday. So after 5.15 starts, looking after their cattle, sheep, hens and geriatric labradors i am back in the land of the living and ready to settle down on the mumsnet old gals sofa!
Scuse if this post is a bit short, typed a fab, long post out and then naughty computer went and lost the bloody thing, and am just about to go in bath.
Couldnt read all posts, but i figure as we all know each other, its a bit like going back to work after a break, im sure if there is any juicy goss i shall be filled in asap and if it doesnt come up in convo then its not worth knowing
Gosh am i ready for a chat and a glass of vino! nibbles anyone??
Not much to report from my end, just that the gyny bloke rang me again - we are already on first name terms and at this rate i'll be having a spray tan and a brazillian before i go in for my "procedures" at the end of the month!!! Its his fault, he has a sexy lilt to his voice, plus he is obviously the answer to my prayers and with a bit of jiggery pokery he will help us get pregnant!!! Anyway , apparently now when i go in for lap and dye, plus ovarian drilling, he has now decided he will be removing the 2 cysts on my ovaries, one of which he described as a dermoid cyst. Apparently may contain hair, bone, teeth, skin or grease.............EUGH!!!!!!!! So of course i google it and now feel like a complete freak of nature about to be filmed for some bizarre channel 4 documentry!!!
So, as i make light of things and try and make you all laugh, im secretly feeling het up and worried, but also cant wait to get it over and done with ..........keep thinking quicker its done, quicker i might get to actually have a chance at being pregnant!!!!!
By the way ((((stern teacher voice even though am not a teacher))))), Where was I on the stats list earlier??
A-hem, i did start the whole caboodle back in jan you know!
Anyway for now, i know its late and no ones around, but will hopefully chat tomorrow.
((((((pusscat slinks down on to sofa under the poorly blanket and reaches for the chocolate hobnobs)))))))))))
love and hugs to all x x x x x x x x

Natty1806 · 13/09/2006 07:22

Glad you back PCM.

Nice to know you get on with your gyne so well, really hope it all works out for you.

I will watch out for you in future on channel 4 or maybe the discovery channel. LOL

Hope the hob nobs were nice i am donating all the haribo sweets as i can't stop eating them, anyway off to work. oh the joys!!!!

Babymad4num3 · 13/09/2006 07:49

Morning ladies!
Is any one in here testing this week!?
And how is everyone!?

Angsthase · 13/09/2006 10:53

Andi - Royal Jelly is supposed to improve general health, but especially fertility (Queen Bee and all that).

It also aspires to improve your skin, hair and nails. The stuff I take is in liquid form and you take one phial every morning. It's not cheap though.

Will let you know if I notice a difference once I've been taking it more than for a couple of weeks - and hell lets face it if I do fall pg this month you may all want to try it LOL!

PCM - 5.15 starts, makes me yawn just thinking about it! Very for your consultant though. Mine is about as friendly as a slap in the face.

Hopes to self
