Ticklemepink ? well you have!! I am so chuffed about your BFP I cannot tell you! I know you have been trying for a while and how much this means to you and I really am over the moon for you. Congratulations!!! So glad you are staying, hope that this is a sticky one. Please, please tell us how it?s done!
Snowyowlet ? oh hon, I am sorry to hear about AF . Hope you are ok and looking forward to a boozy Christmas before trying for your autumn baby .
Greedy ? thank you for the reality shake, as I said, I always reckon health wise I am ok but carrying a bit more timber than I?d like but when I read that Zeta West classes me as overweight and therefore reducing my chances of a BFP, I felt miserable. Must put more effort into shifting some in the NY. It could be the reason, you never know! How are you doing?
Mirry71 ? hello! Sorry about AF arriving chick. It is such a massive disappointment and early too but then again, you get to the try again sooner if that cycle was not the one . Hope you had fun at the party!
Decorative ? hi there, you did remember rightly, I don?t have kids but I was pregnant once, decided not to keep the baby at the time. It was the right decision for me back then; I was in a real mess emotionally and in my final year at Uni. It?s what you say about age being irrelevant to the feeling that you want to be a Mum. I was 22 and really thought about the decision long and hard and I just was not ready at all back then. 22 sounds old enough but I know I wasn?t.
Better luck with the shopping next time and hope DP feels better soon. Thanks for all your kind words, DH and I had a big heart to heart last night (through which I was crying hysterically) because he admitted that he wasn?t that bothered about having a baby now and is worried about the cost implications. I went ballistic reminding him of how many years I waited for him to ask me to marry him (4) before I could even hope for a family (that was the order I wanted things in, just my personal feeling, especially after the pregnancy when I was younger) I tried to explain how strong my desire for a baby is and how scared I am of never holding my own child, it seemed to work I really admire your ability to have written off last cycle, it must have been really hard to leave it up to him, to have that faith. You?re right, we have been trying for the same amount of time, this is cycle 7 for me. I like your positive thoughts and really hope that you are right about it being your last drunken Christmas of just the two of you . You share the same birthday as my Mum by the way she?ll be 60 the day you are 21! I knew I liked you!
Yuletideways ? know what you mean about it being the wrong time of year to diet, but I say that all year ugh, cooking sherry! Hope you are wrong about AF
Ready ? YOU?RE BACK!! I?ve really missed you!! Not funny weird sense of humour, just funny forthright and in a way quite innocent, does that make sense?! (I was thinking about the time the meanies got you on the Xmas emoticons thread!) I meant it in the nicest way! As I said to Decorative above, it all came to a bit of a head last night; I was out all afternoon with my BF who is 4 months pregnant and so desperately wanted to be too. Spain is a moveable feast so that?s not worrying me really but the sooner we get there the better! How are you? I hope the break helped and that you are feeling strong again glad to hear things are good with you and DH
BoJingles ? I know exactly how you feel, I see people come and go and panic and think that one day soon I?ll be here alone with no one I recognize but that is simply not true, we?ll be moving on to! I really hope your AF stays away ? Babydust to you. DH says he is not in any pain when we BD but he does still need the drugs, especially in the morning. You might be right about them having an effect, I had not thought of that. I bought him some ?material? when I went to the petrol station this morning and normal service now seems to have resumed! He can do pretty much everything now but can?t sit for very long, seems to have full mobility though which is great and the original shooting pains down his leg have gone so he is really pleased. Funny you should say that about the pains and our worries, I am still getting cramps on both sides, never had that before! Today I did an OPK and got a positive for the first time in ages! I have a sperm test waiting for use that a graduate MNetter sent me but I figure that anything produced at the mo has my name on it so I?ll wait and broach the subject during the 2WW (maybe or might keep it for another cycle, see how DH is).
Babylove123- it?s frustrating waiting isn?t it? I think most people think it will happen quickly, after all, that?s what our mothers led us to believe wasn?t it?! The reality is quite hard to digest. Great attitude though, I try to think that way but panic about time after that! You really are quite late [fhm] really hope that this is your lucky cycle! Sorry to hear about the MCs, out of curiosity, what made your Dr say that about m/c? I am pretty convinced I had one 2 cycles ago. Don?t worry about what people think. People are a total pin in my opinion always trying to second guess and judging, ignore them. I know that is easier said than done but I do think that that is one thing that age does give you, the confidence to stand up for yourself and shun the crowd, learn it young and you?ll have a much better life! Sorry to hear about your friend too, that must have been hard.
FestiveFettle ? I really am so pleased for you and really hope this one is a sticky one, I can just imagine how worried and scared you are but take good care of yourself, have a wonderful Christmas and keep us posted
Sparklytreeangel ? fingers crossed you get the best birthday present you?ve ever had!
Whoops ? can I borrow some of your powers of persuasion?!
Brief update, cd15, no EWCM at all but cramps (on both sides?! ) and positive OPK so do think I?m going to OV today or tomorrow. BDed twice today ? I?m writing the first one off as a clear the pipes exercise. I have explained to DH that what we need is for his boys to ?ambush? the egg and therefore if he can send reinforcements as often as possible over the next 2 days, the war might be won! (seems to like the war games chat!)
Merry Christmas everyone!
