In ref to my last post I have changed my username!

So stats ####reluctantnympho, cycle 9, ttc 5, BFP 1/7/15 ####%

Love the new name Rice! I'm going to have to call you nympho now as reluctant seems to negative.
Sorry for the baby announcement, it totally sucks. The worst part is I end up feeling guilty for being jealous!

I am feeling a bit blue today too, i think my other SIL might be pg, which would make both of them and not me. It's only a hunch but I can't stop thinking about it... Driving myself mad!!!! Grr. Xx

*too

Yes call me nympho
Baby bombs are horrible, everyone around me is pregnant I've got to go to a baby shower on Sunday which will cost me £30 for the meal, and whatever the gift costs, plus the mental cost of smiling through my jealousy! Sorry about sl's sammy that's a horrible double whammy

I actually turned down a baby shower the other week... Can u get out of this one? You have to protect yourself, if it's going to be too painful then ditch it! Xx

nympho welcome back from hiding but sorry to see how rough things have been for you.
Could you be coming down with a stomach bug at the time of the baby shower, the kind of bug that pregnant women shouldn't be exposed to?

queen it went ok, I got my side over first and then had to watch my boss dug herself out of the criticism. I got no negative or constructive feedback after that. But at least I have a job, all the better for Mat pay later I hope.
Sorry you think AF is coming. :(

sammy sorry about your SIL - it hurts so much more when it's family. You'll have your BFP soon though - I'm sure of it.

I think I can feel the rumblings of a tummy bug as we speak [wink-]
Glad you got things sorted at work boris

Hi all, sorry so many people are having rough time. Much love to you all....

robot hope AF relents a little soon. Things like scan dates are so hard, aren't they? Let yourself sulk a bit but not too long. x

nympho love the name change! Sorry about the baby bombing. It just seems relentless at times, doesn't it?

Nomio when will you POAS?

I saw this article today which I liked following all the comments the other day: www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/01/men-30s-arent-pressured-kids-answer-not-biological?CMP=share_btn_fb

Not much news here. Work is shit, as per usual, but I'm trying to be very zen and let it all wash over me . CD 12 and got a line on an OPK that is darker than yesterday so hoping I'm on track to OV in the next few days.

nympho love the new name, but sorry for the circumstances meaning the new name. agree with the contagious illness! in fact, I think you're getting a temperature love, best give it a miss ....

sammy

boris your boss sounds like an arse, but at least it's over and done with and you've still got the job!

Is there room on your bus for one more?

There is for someone with that name

Welcome, knickers!

Hi hopes it's nice to see a new face
I'm going to start temping this month, but I don't have a clue. Can someone recommend a thermometer and tell me how to Do it please

Hi knickers! Great name

Knickers is way better than hopes

I got this one, nympho. It works well. Basically, take it the same time every morning, as soon as you wake up. Keep it by bed so you don't have to get out of bed to find it. You need to have been asleep for at least three hours straight when you take it (which is tricky, if, like me, you get up to pee in the night...) If you take it more than an hour or so early your temp will be a little lower, later it will be higher, if you've got out of bed in the last couple of hours it will be higher. My chart looks like a sketch of the Pyrenees this month because of half term/going back to work causing poor sleep patterns! The temp rises sharply a day after OV and stays up until AF....

Nympho - you just need to get a thermometer that goes to 2 decimal places (search bbt on amazon) - lots of people on here seem to favour one called baby mad, but mine is just a plain non branded one.
You just need to take your temp at the same time every day, after 3 hours sleep ideally without moving before you get out of bed. Xx

No no no I'M not over 200kgs. One friend is over or close to 200kgs (I think she lost a little weight recently), the other one, last she told me I think she was 140kgs or so. I'm definitely overweight, but was using their weight (and easy conception) to point out that weight isn't always the only reason some people struggle and it will drive me mad if I hear "lose weight" before they'll at least try some other tests.

Some of you may remember, I have sleep apnoea (CPAP and all) and many moons ago it was discovered I have PCO (but I haven't had a scan since I emigrated). Neither of those things help with weight loss. The CPAP should be helping and I know it's at least stopped. I stopped drinking pop (softdrink/soda) over a month ago, I don't eat much candy or chocolate (lately not at all). I cook every day at home, I have soup for lunch... I think I need to move more so I'm working on that too.

And yes, to whoever asked, I'm in the US. They do lbs here but I was raised in Australia where we do kgs.

I'm still thrown by "baby gravy" :S

I read the tread someone pointed out above: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2393523-Is-there-a-line-False-positive and I'm so happy for her :)

I haven't heard anything more about evil sibling and her pregnancy. Not due till Sept (apparently) likely no updates until then (or if I talk to my mother who I'm currently NC with).

My SIL's are unlikely to get pregnant anytime soon... I hope for both their sakes (and unstable relationships). I would be the first "cousin" on DH's father's side to have a child, and on DH's mothers side I found out last week that his 21 y/o cousin got his girlfriend (or ex-girlfriend, I lose track) pregnant so the pressure is off there too. Woot? We're definitely the eldest on his mother's side though :S

Oops crossed post Ibeka!

and bugger... you just reminded me I was going to start temping again this morning... totally forgot.

Thank you for the welcome ladies! ??

Nympho I sleep with my mouth open (cos that's the super attractive type of gal I am) so I do vag temping, supposedly gives you more reliable temps.

Nympho I have the same problem as you, TTC has turned my husband into a rampant sex fiend...in fact he may be crushing contraceptives into my coffee to ensure I don't get pregnant ??

My stats are HopesUpKnickersDown, 37, TTC #3, cycle 3, BFP due 9th June.

We need a new thread! Anyone going to volunteer to start one!

Nagging suspicion that dh has had a secret vasectomy ibeka I have ordered my thermometer thankyou for the advice knickers I'm scared to stick it up there, it may get sucked in, never to be seen again!
