Crikey! What a flurry of activity. It's nice to see everybody feeling so at home after feeling so lost on the other threads. I have visions of everybody settling down on a big comfy sofa with a glass of wine and their slippers on.
trace hun, sorry I didn't reply last night, got stuck at work and then had to take my cat to the vets. Was exhausted by the time I eventually made it home and started cooking dinner. This is going to sound strange, but it's probably a good thing that you can cry. At least you are facing it and grieving. Personally I keep burying my head in the sand. I have a mental jolt every time I see a pregnant woman or if the 'due in march' thread comes up in active convos. I find myself physically turning my back on it and keeping occupied with something else so that I don't have to face it. It sounds like your little Jack is a star and very excited about his holiday. Have you found parenting very different with him compared to the other two?
Welcome back pussycatmomma! I was thinking about you just the other day and wondering how you and your sister were. Sorry you seem to be having a horrible time, but at least it's all being investigated and treated. My SIL had very severe PCOS and was told she would never conceive. Within six months of this bombshell she fell pg with her little boy. I hope the same happens to you (well not that you're told you can't conceive, you know what I mean!)
Gemmaseascout, what a terrible time you've had but you sound remarkably calm. And 2 stones! Is that through dieting? And I want to see these tattoos. DH keeps talking about getting a tattoo, but I think he's a bit frightened tbh. He had a drip in at the hospital a few years ago and had a panic attack, he's not very keen on needles.
andi you sound so down. I think we can all sympathise. I almost find it funny that DH and I spent seven years desperately trying to prevent conception, worrying about taking the pill at the right time etc etc. Then we started trying to get pg it turns out to be a lot more difficult than anybody ever told me. I blame sex ed. I thought if I looked at a hormone-filled teen I'd be pregnant within seconds. All that tosh about 'you'll be a bit confused and strangely attracted to Rick Astley, your skin will break out in spots, you'll grow hair in strange places' etc etc has not helped with the reality of a woman's cycle!
wannabe- I'm in the middle of house hunting and it's a pita. We're first time buyers which means what little we can afford is snapped up by developers for cash before we can even scrape together a deposit. Do post a link to your house, I'm very nosey! Oh and I don't think you should take a test on holiday with you. I think you should have some time off and enjoy your holiday. That said, if it was me I'd probably ignore my own advice and sneak the test in the case anyway.
Hi Coggy. How's tricks with our head knicker-watcher? Did you see the post yesterday where trace said you were an inspiration? She's right you know, just wanted to make sure you noticed it!
And welcome back from hols Peachy. I'm very as we didn't manage a holiday this year. We were booked to go away but I ended up being quite poorly and we had to cancel.
I hope I haven't missed anybody out. Good morning!
