Congratulations baby!! You're Pregnant!!! So so happy for you Ginger

I'm in shock lol! Fx it's a sticky bean!

I'm sure it will be Ginger. I have a feeling!!

God, I hope so!

Where is mampam? She's been AWOL for a while. She's further on than fankle.

fankle good luck with the scan.

Ahhhh Ginger, congratulations hun!!! That's great news.

My party was great thanks, I had a lovely time and my friends were so generous.

I've thought long and hard I've decided that it's highly unlikely that I will have another DC now and I've decided to give up and go back onto the pill. In the two years we've been trying, all I've got to show for it is one MC and terrible skin, hopefully the pill will at least sort that bit out. I feel like I've lost two years of my life and I really need to focus on DD now and just be grateful for her.

I wish you all the very very best of luck for the future. I'll still be hanging around on MN (probably the Christmas thread - getting some bargain presents in!!) so I may pop over now and again and just have a read through what's happening.

Good luck to all those who already have their BFPs and I hope that you all get yours soon.

Congratulations ginger!! See that baby dust worked so pleased for you

Oh brilliant news Ginger. Let's hope this is the start of a lucky streak in this coop!!

Thanks so much for all the well wishes for my scan. Pleased to say everything was fine and baby measured 12+1. It does seem to have gone by quickly which is amazing as I really thought it would drag. I hope the same holds true for you Ginge. I am just overcome by relief right now. I can finally start to believe it!

Kegirl I am really glad you enjoyed your party and are feeling like you're reaching a decision about all this. 2 years is a loooong time to try for a baby and you do feel your life is very much on hold (I was ttc over 2.5 years). It's easy to lose patience and feel like giving up. I hope that no matter what you decide, you feel like it's the right decision for you deep down and it lifts the weight off your shoulders.

OH MY GOOOOOOOD! Just quickly popped on here and from what I can see Ginger's only gone and got herself pregnant!!!!

Huge CONGRATULATIONS! Really pleased for you xx

I need to pop on here more often and keep on top of the news!

I think it did tilly

fankle brilliant news, you can relax a bit now & enjoy.

inshock lol! You're my cycle buddy so you due to poas?

We have been over due a bfp so really hoping there's lots more to come.

kegirl it sounds to me that you've made a well considered choice. We'll really miss you on here, please pop by occasionally. All the best, it must feel like a weights been lifted but I imagine there will be a bit of a mourning period too. I wish you every happeness xxxxxx

Brilliant news fankle! What a relief, major milestone passed. Let's hope this is a lucky streak!!

Happy birthday kegirl glad you had a brilliant time. X

I actually logged on with heart in mouth, hoping for good news....and it is! Honestly, I'm getting ridiculously overemotional on behalf of the 2 of you, I think there's something in my eye....

Wow.....BFP for the OP!! How's about that? Absolutely wonderful! So....any symptoms yet? Have you covertly been looking at your tummy sideways in the mirror, checking for a bump?

And fankle, a million congratulations on reaching this milestone! How are you feeling now? Fancy posting a scan pic up?

And KE now you've made a decision, at least you'll have the blessed relief of not fucking obsessing about TTC any more. Enjoy your beautiful family.

Aw, thanks stubborn , picture privileges seem to have resumed so here's my frer.

Fx your shagging in the woods bares fruit!

Slight cramping sensation & loads of cm (tmi sorry) for last 2 wks and that's it. Don't feel any diff so it's a bit weird!

So it seems that the old chestnut of going on holiday and relaxing does work! (groan).

How's smiler doing?

And where's mampam, hope everything is okay.

Annoyingly, yes stubborn, it's a good excuse anyway....

Ginger and *Stubborn- the old chestnut of relax and it will happen always grated with me...I don't know how many relaxing holidays I went on and it never bloody worked. Turned out the month I got diffed was the month we did the least amount of shagging!

I am going to post my scan pic....

Here is baby Fanklet

Hi girls, been away from here for a little while. Just couldn't face it.

Aww gingerbread I'm thrilled for you my lovely!

kegirl it must've been so had to reach a decision but hope you're feel at peace with it all now. Don't disappear though, please stay in touch.

Aww fankle such a sweet pic ?

Hello fanklet hello! You just relax and lounge around and get big and fat for the next 6 months...

Same for your mum too I guess

Like you're going to be able to spend the next 6 months lounging around fankle! Chance would be a fine thing....

Have you started Announcing?

(I realise I mentioned getting big and fat in the context of being pregnant. Which is one of the most annoying things you can say to a pregnant woman. And there's no way to dig myself out of that hole now. sorry )

, you made me lol!

I've gone nuts already, it's like it was the excuse I needed to release my inner tubby!

Gorgeous baby fanklet, amazing!

tranquil lovely to have you back, talk to us. How you feeling now?

Ginger I'm here, I'm here!!! WOOOOHOOOOO Congratulations Well done good for you. I had a feeling about you..........came on here and read the post where you said you were due AF the following day and I had a feeling you would be getting a BFP

Fankle Loving the pic of Fanklet. Congratulations on getting to 12 weeks with a happy and healthy baby, must be a relief for you?

KEGirl Glad you had a wonderful birthday and party. Well done for coming to a decision, it can't have been easy for you but hopefully it will be like a weight lifted off your shoulders. Keep in touch, I'll think of you next time I'm in Newton Abbott

Hi Tranquility hope you are ok hun?

Hi to everyone else

I'm still suffering from the nausea and off work although vomiting slightly better.
Happy bunny today though as I found a pasteurised camembert at Tesco.......really looking forward to cheese and biscuits tonight for dinner!! Yes I am very easily pleased

Just popping back on in my lunchtime :)

So thrilled for you Ginger :) I thought we were about to become IVF buddies so glad you got your bfp before jumping on that train.

KEGirl I can totally understand your decision. Hope you pop back on from time to time x

Tranquility I've had to take a step back from MN over the last few months because ttc had become all consuming and I found myself spending hours on here or googling ttc stuff and it took over my life. Good to have you back. :)

oops meant to say beautiful pic Fankle
