Thought someone better start a new thread as we're getting close to the 1000 mark!
Ready - what's your question?

Bellabear - I know what you mean, as soon as you are pro-active you become really positive. lets hope you're preggers before you get to the GP

BellaBear · 08/05/2007 16:31

it would be amazing, I'm due to ovulate that day!

Ready · 08/05/2007 18:22

woodmouse - Please don?t apologise for talking about your worries on here, we are here for each other, and it doesn?t have to be directly linked to ttc to make it important. It certainly isn?t hijacking!! I am glad that nothing I said upset you, I tend you put my foot in it a lot of the time. It?s a shame that your DH is so adamant about not trying for a baby if you are not working. But you are not naïve or stupid ? so please don?t think that about yourself. I really think that you need to have a big talk with DH, and try to make him see that you are not trying to take him from London, or change his career ? but you don?t feel you can continue working the way you are and you need to seek something different. If he loves his job, then it may be hard for him to understand how someone can get so down about a job. Talking is crucial.
Personally, I am not the ambitious type when it comes to a career ? and I always laugh that my opinions set feminism back ? but I think that life is so precious and working yourself into the ground is not what life is supposed to be about. My ambition in life is to be able to look back and know that we were the happiest we could be. Of course that is only my humble opinion ? and I realise that my life is very different to the next person, and I would never judge a person by their decisions. But you are clearly unhappy, so I definitely think you need a change. Working out what you want to do is the hardest part though, isn?t it! (big hug) ? I hope you are ok?

Gangle - I am just coming up to the ?crucial stage? in my cycle ? how about you? Fingers crossed for you.

Seaside - Lovely to see you on here! The thread has missed you.

PinkElephant ? Sorry to hear about your DH?s redundancy. Like you say babies come when they want!! Glad you are feeling a little more positive today. Do try not to worry, I know, easier said than done huh! And never feel that you can?t tell us your worries and concerns, like I said to Woodmouse, that is what these threads are for. We are all going through so much, and if we can lend an ear and help each other then we can all forget about our own things for 5 minutes. Hope the cramps have stopped.

Bella - It?s lovely to hear you so chipper. (hug) ? I am glad that you feel that just taking the first step of booking the appointment has lifted a weight! I hope your GP is suitably understanding and gives you some things to work on. Hang in there flower ? your time will come

I think we need another question to ponder too ? when is Gilly back?

nomoremagnolia · 10/05/2007 21:57

Hello ladies, hope you're all well. Lurking in the hut at the mo but will be back soon.

PinkMartini · 11/05/2007 12:51

Hello again - another busy week in the martini household. I am CD 9/10 and we're too tired to do much bding. I am doing all the instigating at the moment. It's q stressful.
That's all really.

PinkMartini · 11/05/2007 12:54

Woodmouse - re acupuncture I was recommended mine by my MIL but I can ask her if she can recommend anyone not in London.
It's usually relaxing and I feel so much better afterwards - sometimes a bit spaced, sometimes a bit euphoric. I've been having treatment on and off for five years - whenever I get run down I go, and she puts me back in balance, now she is working on getting me pregnant. She thinks I'm going to have a girl first.
I am v needle phobic but with this, it's worth it and I just deal with it.

herbaceous · 11/05/2007 13:00

I have a question about acupuncture - is it best to go to a old-school Chinese place, with jars of herbs in the window and all that, or a touchy-feely middle-class place with whale music?

PinkMartini · 11/05/2007 13:29

LOL Herbaceous- My fab lady is english and in W11 so rather more like the latter (though no whale music thankfully!) but as I haven't been to a Chinese acupuncturist I can't give a helpful answer. Sorry.

cityangel · 11/05/2007 13:38

It's advised to pick on from here: here

herbaceous · 11/05/2007 14:59

Cityangel - how extraordiinary! One of the recommended practitioners from that list practices from the clinic above my office!

cityangel · 11/05/2007 16:52

Well that's handy! You could drill a hole through the ceiling and get long needles!

Woodmouse · 11/05/2007 17:37

LOL at drilling holes in the ceiling - hilarious.

Pink Martini - W11 is practically my manor! I'll have a look at the list send by Cityangel. I think I qualify as very run down and would like to try something that actually works to rebalance you rather than a nice-but-not-very-medicinal-message or something. I feel like it is Pamper Woodmouse Weekend!

what's everyone up to at the weekend? I am off to a Eurovision party, which is fancy dress. I am trying to persuade DH to go as Dana International in a dress and heels, but I think the possibility of that is vanishingly remote! He keeps muttering about putting on tennis whites and going as Cliff Richard

PinkMartini · 11/05/2007 17:56

I've looked and actually my lady isn't on that list which surprised me. She is, however, really lovely and I've been going to her for 5 years. If you want me to give you her details, let me know and I'll cat you.

PinkElephant · 11/05/2007 19:24

Hope you're all well and have a lovely weekend. Really must think about changing my name as there are so many "pinkies" on the thread, even I'm getting confused. New start and new name perhaps ......or a different shade....purple elephant?

Woodmouse - what an excellent theme for a party, I'm sure they'll be some "beauties"

How are you feeling Bella? Fingers crossed for the ovulation/GP appointment next month

Ready - How are you hun? Where are you in your cycle now? I went to the GP to have two seperate blood tests to check my Beta HCG's and am delighted to report they are doubling nicely.....next bridge to cross is the scan next wk hopefully

Where's Gilly disappeared to?

BellaBear · 11/05/2007 20:28

Hi PinkElephant! GP appointment on Wednesday, and already having lots of sex (Wahey!)

PinkMartini · 11/05/2007 21:31

Oh no PE, don't do that!
And you were here first!! I didn't mean to confuse anyone! i just didn't really like my other name. I have bid for dancing queen in the MN nickname auction, so I'll change over to that when MNHQ say we can pay.

Very tired and having probs with computer today.

PinkElephant · 12/05/2007 13:51

Pinkmartini - so sorry, I really didn't mean to offend you, I'm just laughing at how many pinkies there are....pinkslippers, pinkranger and there's a few more but can't remember them all now.
Bella - go girl

cityangel · 12/05/2007 22:07

Hmmm I could be PinkCityAngel... nice ring

I had high expectations for Accupuncture after 10 sessions, this time it wasn't for me. The central London costs don't help. During the sessions I have to admit to being sceptical and sadly felt no different.

Other than the relaxing effects of lying motionless for 45 minutes in the middle of the day it didn't change my cycles.

I am still not adverse to the idea as everything I read suggested it would work out long term, but at this point in time I think I need more medical info on our situation before trying it again.

nomoremagnolia · 13/05/2007 15:58

can I be nomorePINK

OP posts:
PinkBellaBear · 13/05/2007 16:48

How about this?

EveryoneLovesPink · 13/05/2007 16:50

Or this?

BellaBear · 13/05/2007 16:51

Think I'll stick to this one!

PinkyPinkPink · 13/05/2007 20:56
Grin
nomorePINK · 13/05/2007 20:59

Couldn't resist, sorry!!

nomoremagnolia · 13/05/2007 21:02

Though like Bella, I think I'll stick with what I know.
Hope you're all well, it's been very quiet on here recently are you all shagging? (not in a group orgy kind of way though! )
