SQUARE ONE TO GRADUATES! Over here! Let's go find those BFPS!

[MotherOfBeagles]

Hi ladies!

Sorry I didn't want to lose you all as at the in law weekend so thought I'd start a new one!

Roll over thread

Footy I know what you mean. It's yonks ago now but my dad told us on Boxing Day he was splitting up with my mum and he moved out on New Year's Day. I think I was 11 ish and my sister 14. We were really upset at the time but we both still love Christmas so not too scarred. (Our parents had real issues so not suggesting you guys will actually separate). We like those films for a bit of escapism but yeah not real life and can be really upsetting if you're feeling raw x

Sorry durez I hope you can push TTC to the back of your mind and enjoy Christmas for now.

7 days late Young?! Oh my goodness. Are you using a sensitive test?

Oh beagles your rotten husband that is mean. If you explain how much it means to you do you think he would get on board?

Ah Kiki it must be overwhelmingly sad at times hon don't feel bad for feeling low or talking about it. That's what we are here for. I hope you feel brighter for Christmas - there is a new year ahead full of possibilities!

You sound like such a lovely caring mum footy im sure your boys will have a wonderful Christmas despite their dad's behaviour. I really really hope he's got a good apology for you my dear. Big hugs to you.

Keeping everything crossed for you mimi I hope those are the right cramps and not af. Enjoy the wedding!

How are you tee?

Hope all our pregnant ladies are doing well. Radders I hope your family are okay, I can imagine Christmas might be tough for your folks this year. I hope you and your oh enjoy it with bump.

I still can't decide if I've ovulated or not. Boobs are less tingly and a bit sore, I'm a bit more emotional. Don't know what's going on with cm - yesterday had some EWCM. I don't know if being under the weather has interfered with things. I haven't had as much ovulation pain as I usually do. Will just have to keep fingers crossed it's happened. The positive OPK came at the right time I guess. DH home in 2 hours .. I will be ready to leash! X.

Happy Christmas Eve ladies

Spotting seems to have stopped for now, but feeling a bit like AF is almost here. In some ways wish it would just happen so I can stop checking etc.

I have been and bought a test so did one this afternoon and BFN. Silly, I know but was worth a shot 👍🏻

For the first time in 6 years I have finished work at lunch time on Christmas Eve (I have a horse stud so there's no such thing as Christmas!) and am drowning my sorrows with a lovely glass of Malbec, with the fire roaring and my puppy by my feet!

That sounds lovely durez, especially the puppy! 🐶

Oh blimey girls you have been busy, I've missed a lot of messages! Been getting prepped for 2 days of hosting our 2 sets of family! Think I'm all ready! Just need to put presents under the tree when LO goes to bed, set table and peel spuds!! So excited!!

Footy have you met him yet?? I bloody hope he had an apology. How can his family entertain him over Christmas knowing what he's done (assuming they know now), I would expect them to give him a good talking to! I'm sure he will be thoroughly miserable if he goes ahead with those plans.
Oh Beagles I have been there!! It's sooooo frustrating! I told DH as much last night too. He keeps getting majorly amorous outside of ovulation. Week before ov he was like a dog on heat, then again this week he's been pouncing as soon as I step into bed, but FW I got rejected 3 out of the 5 attempts I made! If he's ill I have zero chance of action.
Kiki sorry you feel down. I can totally relate; we should have been 12 weeks today! Just trying to distract myself with Christmas. I definitely feel positive about starting a new year though. Resolution = bfp!!
Mim no symptoms here unfortunately, waiting patiently for hot skin or bloody nose. Due AF next Friday, 9dpo today. Are you testing today?!! Got everything crossed for you, you've waited so long!!
Argh second guessing is so frustrating Jam. Definitely temp 2017 if no joy this cycle. I definitely notice CM turns more white after ov, even if there are still some signs of ewcm. Keep up DTD just in case!
DuRez FX you just tested too early and AF stays away!! Glad you've finished up early.

Hello everybody else sorry to those I missed!! MERRY CHRISTMAS all if I don't get a chance to check in tomorrow xx

Tee my nose has been bleeding all day yesterday and this morning. Been a bit of a pain.

Thank you ladies for your positive thoughts.

Tee - it's so sad isn't it, we'd have been almost 23 weeks. That's a good resolution and I like your positive thinking. I've got a busy time with work when I get back so hoping that'll take my mind off of it and it'll just happen!

Jam - good on you with your timing fx you got it nailed!

Durez - fx you aren't out of it yet I hope they are sticky bean pains and not AF.

Mim - when I fell I had such strange dreams, hopefully it's a good sign for you! fx

You shall be having your Christmases before me as we are 8 hours behind so Merry Christmas everyone. Those waiting for the test results I have everything crossed and hope to see a few bfps between Christmas and new year! x

Very strange as don't really have bad periods at all, always been very fortunate and breezed through them.

Roll on the next cycle when it starts!

DuRez, is nose bleed normal for you?? I only get a nose bleed when pregnant?? You have been spotting which could be IB??

My best friend has arrived at my house all the way from Ireland with a bottle of gin! She has abandoned her plans with her sister to be here to support me. I feel so blessed to have such good friends.

Only told her yesterday! Hope u all have a wonderful Christmas.

Will fill you in later; but nothing much has changed after seeing him. I'm not in a good place to discuss our future so offered not many words. One day at a time, and he made his decision so he can humble himself to tell his family what he's done.

Hurrah for best friends! She sounds like a keeper! Really hope you can enjoy Christmas as much as can be expected. Don't put pressure on yourself to regain immediate structure with the boys, give yourself a break! Christmas is always unstructured at the best of times anyway, so no harm in some temporary unlimited screen time and naughty foods while you're picking up the pieces he shattered! xxx

She does indeed sound like a keeper. I have such respect for you footy already, but you've been dealt a shit hand and have handled it so well, all things considered! You have so much to be proud of!!!

Your boys and you are your focus and it's great that your mate came down!!! Gives you something else to focus on!! Make sure she feeds you!!!! Oh and I HIGHLY recommend a Christmas Day walk in the countryside (if you have any near you!).

Plans for the future comes LATER! - talking to myself there as much as anything, as I still haven't decided whether or not to go back to my job in Jan... Starting at new place at the end of Feb.

Cd 21. Had a temp spike yesterday (ov has been around cd 19/20 for the last couple of cycles), but then it plummeted today... so undsure if I have a pattern yet or not.

Sounds like a few Bfps are headed our way....

Thanks, yes I need to focus on myself and the boys . Still bleeding - never been this long. 6 days. Usually 2-3 days. It's bright bright red. Do u think it's just stress? Bad cramps with it.

Still can't sleep much I just keep waking up. Thoughts racing through my mind. Frustrating ! thought santa's whisky would have helped but no.,

No nose bleeding is not normal. However just up now to do the horses and got bright red on the tissue 😢 Only on CD19 so really early AF it looks like.

Wishing you all and your families a very merry Christmas

Foot hope you are ok. Thinking of you .

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all. You've been a bigger part of my 2016 than you'll ever know. Thank you for being there, here's to lots of 2017 bfps!!

Merry Christmas girls!! 🎄
Likewise tee you girls have kept me sane this year! Really hope we are enjoying pregnancies together next year 🍼🍼🍼

Have a lovely day all 🥂 footy I hope you are having fun with your best mate and the boys xx

Merry Christmas you lot! This past year (nearly) has had highs and lows and I really have appreciated the support... Love to all of you and your family for being amazing women!

May have already been on the cava...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Ladies, You have been the best!
Really struggling today. Boys been really sweet, and I enjoyed seeing them smile. It's all a bit odd, yesterday he dropped off dozen Roses, and my Christmas presents. Anyway can't bring myself to open them. Had a call from his mother who cried and said she isn't happy with him and cant make sense of it. I can't believe he actually went up north and left me here.. My friend is being wonderful and looking after me. She goes back tomorrow, and I'm going to visit my brother tomorrow for a few days. Keep busy.

Durez- sorry no not nose bleed I mean I've been bleeding AF for 6days. It's heavy still- maybe it's the stress.

Merry Christmas to you all and your families!

Footy your best friend sounds wonderful and I hope you are enjoying time with her and your boys - sending hugs and keep busy xx

Hope you are enjoying your day! I was surprised with an early arrival from the witch!!! So weird, only CD23, mega early, messed up from MC I guess! Don't feel down at all, feeling happy and positive about starting a fresh new cycle. Can opk and temp properly from now!! Got some lovely presents to balance out the rubbish gift of AF!!

Hope you are all having a fab time. Footy you are doing amazing!! I think he is probably feeling thoroughly ashamed of himself.
xx

Hi ladies! Sorry I've been a bit crappy recently. Caught dhs cold which is just shitty tbh. Also had a manic few days with Christmas drama. I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas Day and got chance to relax! I will be catching up properly tomorrow hopefully when we get home and I can finally turn off.
