.....so hungover.......

They should put a health warning on cutting back on the booze- it just means that you really really suffer when you do get drunk. Aaaaaarrrrggg.....

Oh dear stubborn, I felt like that last week after 2 glasses of wine!! (and maybe a cheeky cocktail Wink)
Maybe it's your turn for a BFP gingerbread Grin sending you loads of baby dust xx

Tilly73 · 22/06/2014 11:27

I can see a line!!! when do you finish work, can you wait til tommorow..no I know you must then hopefully it will be more positive :)

Fankletastic · 22/06/2014 11:50

Just popped on here for first time in a few days and bloody hell!!! Ginger's only gone and got a beeee efffff peeeee!! So exciting!! Deep breaths my dear. You have to get through work and then maybe retest later or tomorrow morning if you can wait. Was this your last clomid cycle?

Kegirl sorry to see you are feeling so low right now but understandable given all the people who've announced they're pregnant. I remember when my ttc buddy (who already had a DC) got pregnant last year, it took me a few months before I could call her for a chat. It's soo hard when others get what you want...and have tried for so much longer than they have. It seems so unfair. And it is unfair. But your birthday party will be lovely. You have your gorgeous dress, gorgeous weather, an amazing DH and a much loved DC. I hope you enjoy your party, have a few glasses of fizz and forget about all this for the day.

Hello to everyone else! I'm having such a busy month with work so not got time to be on here as much. But all seems to be ok here and I've got my 12 week scan tomorrow which I'm trying not to think about

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/06/2014 12:10

Gosh that's gone so quick *fankle, give us an up date & maybe a wee pic when u have time pls. It is my last clomid cycle so been gearing up for ivf, fx I won't need it.

I can pretty much come & go from work as I like but will wait till tomorrow to re-test as want a good line so I can really try to absorb it. Still unsure. Very crampy too. I've drunk & smoked this month too on holiday. Had really given up hope.

kegirl if you check in, happy happy birthday honey Wine Cake Thanks. I hope you have a fantastic day. I also really hope my possible positive doesn't compound the tough time you're having. I think we can all relate to the utter despair that sneaks up, ESP with bloody preg announcements xxx.

Enjoy your very special day xxx

But I think hearing about BFPs from people on this thread is encouraging for everybody, no? Knowing that everyone's been through the same thing, the doubts.....knowing that it could be you next time?

Wow, ginger, ohmygoodnessohmy goodnessohmygoodness!

You can bet I'll be logging back in tomorrow for an update, and for some news from fankle too!

And happy, happy birthday KEgirl! xxx

Tilly73 · 22/06/2014 20:38

I agree stubborn on here it's different, you know we are going through the same s**t so it really makes you hopeful
I also can't wait to log on tommorow to hear from ginger and fankle..wonder how mampam is, is she about the same number of weeks or further on??
I'm going to re test next Friday as I have no idea when AF is due although it's usually at the end of the month when we get paid..so that's next Friday....here's hoping Smile

Gingerbreadlady1 · 23/06/2014 08:20

I got 2 lines on a frer! Grin
