new thread...

But you will get multiple posts!

Oh fine now you don't want to talk to me...

Haha, I just realised the other day that I had internet on my mobile, but I could only look at the smaller threads

Haha. Sorry!!

How was your do?? Was the dress perfect?

The dress was a little too much for the place we went but better to be over dressed than under How are you?

Totally! As I said, it's always nice to be the chicest in the room
I am ok, just deciding where to eat dinner.

Right, I'm off for something Italian

Congratulations Sybil!! Its about time we had a bfp on here, long may it last.
I think you should stay as long as you like, there is no place like home !

Glad you enjoyed the meal Nomore, your dress was lovely! It' sounds good for you too, this month, I hope knicker-watch is still negative . How are you ?

Hi ready - enjoy the Italian!

hello gilly! I was interested to see that your GP wants to just talk to you both first. If we have no luck this month then we will also be going to the GP to put the ball in motion. A friend has announced her pregnancy at work today after 2 cycles ttc, and while I'm thrilled for her, it brings it home that it just doesn't seem to be happening for me, after a LOT longer. Hope the accupunture helps x

Hi Mistlethrush, Toomuch and Fifi xx

I am stuffed, and I didn't even sample the dolcis

Kensgirl - I know what you mean about hearing of other pregnancies. Whilst thrilled, it hammers it home that it isn't happening for us. Hang in there sweets

I just realised that I completely missed a post from Gilly and MT - how on earth did I do that!!

MT - That sounds really good about the nappies drying out times. I really don't want to have to get a tumble dryer if I don't have to. Do you find that it is easy with disposables, just important to get into a routine?? Sorry for all the questions

SMUG! My choice of gift has been chosen

Gilly So pleased that the acupuncture went well. Do you think you might start temping because of what she said? I am sorry you didn't get the euphoric feeling. Have you got to take any herbs? Or is it just the sessions?
It's good that your GP wants to see the both of you together. Your DH is like mine, in saying these things take time. However, there is no harm in getting the preliminary set of tests done. Progesterone and sperm etc, it doesn't mean you have to get referred straight away. If it will help to relax you feeling like you are doing something, then I am sure your DH will indulge.
MIL is in East Anglia, so about an hour from Bluewater, we used to go there alot! Love it. And yes, it does seem to be Bug country
I have never been to Newcastle, shockingly. I have heard that it is amazing for shopping and nights out though Do you miss being there?

Crumbs, what a lot of waffle

Hope everyone is ok?

Hi all, I am new to mumsnet and threw out my pill mid-august to start trying for a bubba. This after 28yrs of swearing I would never have children!!

I hope I havent jinxed myself....

shoesarefab - welcome to the thread may I be the first to say you are in good company! We are an awesome bunch of girls
Good luck with the ttc
I have been ttc for a long ol' time now, this is my 14th cycle , so a bit of stalwart (there must be a nicer word I can use there??) .

wow, 14 mths?! Thats not the kind of thing I want to be hearing!! lol

Hi all
sybil aftraid I won't be joining you cd2 today - the old bitch showed up last night
shoes welcome
ready Sorry I have not scrabbled - couldn't think of any words last night was feeling too sorry for myself [hopeless]
toomuch haven't seen you for a few days - hope you're ok
everyone else

afraid*toomuch - see you were on yesterday - dur Still hope oyu're ok though

oh and you're
oh just accept that I am typing like cod today

Are cod not good typists?? I have an image of a cod typing pool

Nomore - I am so sorry babe. Big huge hugs. Deep breaths, onwards and upwards flower!! I know it's bloody hard to keep that stiff upper lip. Eat plenty of choc, drink plenty of vino and go rent Steel Magnolias

Gilly - feeling can be different each time. I don't feel euphoric after normally, although I often feel as though a large weight has been taken off - very calm and stress free (whcih is fantastic and makes me wonder whether I'm really safe to drive the car sometimes) - so don't worry if you didn't get a euphoric feeling this time, particularly as it was your first. Last but one time I actually fell asleep. I didn't last time as I had ds with me which was rather taxing!

Ready - No real problem - bucket in bathroom (dry). Every 2 days load of pale washing goes on - put just nappies on rinse cycle to start with, then add rest of load and put on for normal wash (40 degrees normally sufficient) and normal washing powder plus a 'nappy sanitiser'. Great thing about washables is that you don't mind how many you use as you're going to be putting the washing on anyway - so not trying to 'eek' disposable out until you go out (have been there, done that!). You do probably change slightly more often, but that's not a big deal. We didn't get any washables until about 8wks when we got a variety pack to hire to see which sort would fit ds and suit us best. We were surprised about using the prefolds as we had intended getting all shaped, but it must have saved us quite a bit of money. Also look out for packs at NCT sales etc.

Hi Kensgirl - hows it going. How long will you be likely to be checked-up for? Rest of life for me I think (envelope from Sheffield last week ) I wonder how many people realise what sort of things that their letters share the post box/bag with!

Hi Shoesarefab - good luck, hope you're not around for as long as some of us!

thanks mistlethrush, I hope i'm not too!!

Incidentally, I woke at 4:45 this morning absolutely convinced that i'm with child. Couldnt get back to sleep for ages.

I have a feeling it was just wind though

ready cod is a regular MNer - look for her in chat. she types liek tihs al lteh tmie

run a search for last 3 days for posts by icod - you'll see what i mean. she seens nice though and v funny - before someone says 'oi cod they're talking about you on the conception threads...'

Nomore - Hahahahahaha. I have seen cod yes, I just didn't twig that's what you meant - chuckle - when it is quiet on my usual threads I go for a lurk out in the big bad world of MN. It gets quite brutal sometimes doesn't it

MT - DH is going to take some convincing with the real nappies. And I had intended to go with disposables for the first 8 weeks, just to getused to having a baby, then introduce the real nappies once we were starting to get into a routine. You make it sound very manageable, which is pleasing
What you said about the letter, sorry to hear that you will be monitored forever. You really made me think with your ultra philosophical point about not knowing what else is carried with your post. Very sobering thought when I next complain about a bill or whatever

Shoesarefab - I hope that you don't take very long either - I was just introducing myself Is this your first month actively trying? Or did you start trying as soon as you stopped the pill?

Hope everyone else is brill

pmsl - Do you think Cod will come and tell us off for talking about her

Ready - ACTIVELY trying. In capital letters.

My other half sees it as his chance to do it twice daily. lol.
