Aw, thank you for the warm welcome ladies. Feel better already Grin Will try and read back so I can catch up with you all!
Off to drink lots of water now

Pikz · 07/04/2015 21:49

I love OBEM

Sparkly sorry you have had a rubbish day Thanks

Purdey well done on the bum cam and well done that fella!

Hi baker!

Nomio sorry your feeling so rubbish

Arrrghh mind blank

I need thermometer suggestions. Think I need to give in and temp. This month without knowing I have ov is proper pants and I had a lovely reflex session. And the reflexologist is as flummoxed as me and I think I need to temp before I start next steps to really know if I'm ovulating or not.

MelonMelon · 07/04/2015 21:49

sparkly yes I have lovely, I'm moaning on dual platforms! Nowt to report from over there. Sorry to hear you've been feeling blue today Flowers

spinningirl10 · 07/04/2015 21:55

Pikz, you can buy a babymad thermometer from Amazon. Most of us use themSmile

spinningirl10 · 07/04/2015 21:57

Oh and if you buy it elsewhere just make sure it has 2 decimal places.

Pikz the babymad (how apt...!) from amazon is the bbter of choice I hear! I think it will def help you to pinpoint OV. Worth a shot! Flowers

Flowers sparkly sorry for the spotting
Welcome baker
Baby bombed today Sad but I have a girly weekend to look forward to next month, so I'm not going to wallow any longer.

Rice sorry for baby bomb. I have a group whatsapp message thing with some girls (most of whom aren't really proper "friends friends" more husbands friends wives if you know what I mean) and all I heard today was moaning about indigestion as she's 14 weeks preggers. And then I got everyone else's views on what to take to make it better (they have all had their own babies) so I feel your pain! I may have shouted out loud that they should be thankful they are bStar preggers! irrational Your girls day sounds lovely and much needed! Flowers

Evening!
Well done to the DHs on their chocolate buying and vitamin taking. Sorry about the AFs and the spotting. Taking our Brazil nuts with water now are we? Ok cool, I'll just finish me tea first.

OH has been going on about how nice it would be to get pregnant now so there's not too much of an age gap with his new niece. I knew seeing her would give him an extra little burst of broodiness (as if he needs it!). I do worry about how completely not maternal I am and hope that the instinct kicks in when it needs to. I was walking around with the baby niece at the weekend (she's only peaceful if she's being held and you walk around) and he tells me off for not taking to her, every one else was singing and doing baby talk to her. I'm sure it'll come more naturally with my own... Right? Confused

Nomio230 · 07/04/2015 23:00

Oyster, I think a lot of people are not at all maternal until they have their own baby. I honestly wouldn't worry about it. I am sure you will be great. If not, you can always give it to one of us!

Welcome, Baker. Sorry to hear about your mc, but hope you get your sticky bean very soon.

DizzyMerry · 07/04/2015 23:12

Purdey your DH sounds amazing. What a Star. At least it's over and done with now. Hope you get the results soon.

I've not had a good day mentally so can't really remember who has said what --can't get the bum invasion out of my mind-. I just feel like I'm not with it so will try to get a grip and read back now

Sparkly123 · 07/04/2015 23:15

Pixa I missed your earlier post. What tests have you had already? I haven't been private. all done quickly -NHS based. I think a few ladies on April bus have or are lined up to have them private though if that helps.

frogbubbles · 07/04/2015 23:34

Jeez!!!! I have a lot of catching up to do...

Purds, holy crap you use bio oil for wanking sessions?? Your DH is one lucky man. MrF is lucky if he gets a bit of Vaseline. Thank God you survived the bum cam, your DH is a sweetheart bearing gifts, after eights and whipsa Gold the food of champions

Spinning I might hold out for the reruns or ask my friends bf to download for Me. It's not like wolf hall is it?

Sammy ""helllllllooooo" all the way over there in France hope you are having an amazing time lovely.

Mrsb I'm hoping you are feeling a million times better today. Did you get an appointment with the doctors. Ok basically scrap all that I've read you got your appointment, fantastic. I just told what was happening in my pants and they were really helpful.

Hey butter good to see you back, I did wonder where you had disappeared to. Thank you for blanket love, think a crochet corner in the is a fab idea!!! Working on some boring patchwork at the mo.

Bog lovely waves to all you other ladies hope everyone is ok xxx

frogbubbles · 07/04/2015 23:35

Oops typo " big lovely waves"
Not bog waves. Doh

frogbubbles · 07/04/2015 23:35

Also only caught up until 9ish falling asleep now.

Nomio230 · 07/04/2015 23:48

I think bog waves are quite appropriate for us lot! We spend a fair bit of time in there.

DizzyMerry · 07/04/2015 23:53

Right I have read back and have tried to retain some of the chat!

Sorry you've not had a good day Sparkly Flowers. I didn't realise you had health issues which affect you day to day. I recall some things you said but didn't want to ask in case I was off the mark. Like you said tomorrow is another day. Your positivity is amazing.

Nomio I hope you feel better soon Flowers

Vic yay for the relaxing reflexology. I must be strange in that it doesn't relax me but what's even more bizarre is I instantly feel tired when she does my right foot. I'm sure there's something wrong with me Hmm

Welcome baker sorry you had a mc. Hope you get a sticky bean this cycle.

Pixa we will be going private if my blood results aren't good so also be interested in any recommendations

Pikz being baby bombed is not nice but what annoys me is the smug people who gloat about how easy it was to 'catch'. I could happily tape their gobs!!!

I drink loads of water and have done for years but can't say it's done anything positive for my fertility Confused

Dizzymerry thanks lovely. How are you? I also drink lots of water! Hmm

Hi Frog hope all ok with you? Grin

DizzyMerry · 08/04/2015 00:13

Sparkly I keep swinging from being positive to almost knowing this isn't the month. I'm ok though and should get my day 21 results tomorrow, which I'm actually not even worried about. I do know though that if AF does arrive I will cope and deal with it.

Sparkly123 · 08/04/2015 00:18

Ah the swinging Dizzy , I hear you!! One minute it's all positivity "this is it", the next it's " this is never gonna happen this cycle" rollercoaster!! I feel the same.. I know I'll deal with it if AF arrives. It's just that awful rollercoaster on route and when you want something so much there is no getting away from it!! Glad you get results Tomor, hope they will be good and reassure you Flowers

Evening all. Just a quickie (for a change)

I've just been reading this and think its brilliant. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/apr/07/not-talk-someone-with-depression

I wanted to share this because of recent conversations about depression etc, people sharing their experiences and pasts. I also wanted to share it with those who may have never had any MH problems before but might be having a tough time with TTC, PND or following MC etc (or anyone who has a brain that might go a bit wonky). And there are those who might have friends or partners or family members going through something.

That's all for tonight, I'll let you all know tomorrow when I get my bpf Hmm

victoria401 · 08/04/2015 06:51

Mornin' all

My mum says 'catch' with regards to getting preg, I don't like that phrase Angry

Good luck with the results merry I'm sure it'll be fine. How long you been ttc? This your first tests?

Have a good day everyone x
