Hi all, welcome to the newbies.
Read through the labour posts squinting...
night can I share your trolley please?
Purdey your cake was beautiful. Hope Nancy had a lovely birthday.
Juney FX for the well-timed arrival of your ovulation. Get POAS!
Nothing to report round here. Still waiting for AF or something else to happen. Lost count of what CD I am... If I'm going from my last 'AF' (withdrawal bleed), I am probably something like CD50. If we are going from the weird positive OPK I had, I am 13DPO. Took a test yesterday BFN.
I have my hospital appointment next Thursday.
Had to grin and bear some awkward questions from the kids in my (very weak) Year 10 class today. 'Miss, do you want kids?' Miss- why do some people leave it so late before they have kids?' 'Miss-how old are you?' 'Miss, you're two years older than my mum' (!)
I am 32. They know I got married last year and they have already suggested I may be on maternity leave next year. Unfortunately, it doesn't help to be evasive with questions from kids like that, but nor can I (obviously) tell them anything about my private life. So I just have to be very vague and go 'Ohhhh, yes I think one day I'd like one' and 'Well, I don't think early 30s is old really...'
I would really like to say 'Well, I stopped taking the pill in November; it's been five months and every time I go for a wee, I inspect my knickers for red stains, whilst fingering my cervix for specks of womb lining. Ideally kids, I'd like my vulval vestibule to be dripping with blood, but we can't have it all can we? Now, shall we read some more of Romeo and Juliet? I bet Juliet never had this problem...'
