new thread...again!!

Hi teeheelaydee, welcome to the thread. Please feel free to take your shoes and make yourself totally at home!

I'm really sorry to hear about your mc. I'm also (infrequently!) on the mc thread as I had one in January. Like here, the people there are fab and I have found both threads to be really supportive.

Obviously you're going to fit right in here if you are already up with the knitting! So far I've only managed a scarf, but in my defence, it had fringing and everything...

teeheelaydee · 27/10/2007 21:26

Fringing - v/impressive. I have only attempted square or rectangles ie: scarves and blankets. Plan for next project to be something with shape - prob baby jumper, mainly because it will take me 10 years to knit anything big enough for an adult !

noooomoooorescarynames · 27/10/2007 21:36

Hello teehee nice to meet you
and to think I was beginning to worry that we were going to have a whole day of no one posting
Hi sybil how are you?

noooomoooorescarynames · 27/10/2007 21:37

ready I'm really not fancying booze at the mo, though trying not to read anything into it

teeheelaydee · 28/10/2007 12:55

Morning ladies (or is it afternoon ?)

BTW - What is the deal with zinc - should I be roping DP into taking it ? Have banned hot baths again following mc.

noooomoooorescarynames · 28/10/2007 13:00

no idea - I've tried most things at sometime or other but I can't remember what was for what. Think zinc is for DH for something...

PiggyPenguin · 28/10/2007 14:14

Hmmmmmmmm Nomore, going off alcohol is a pretty classic symptom isn't it? I don't fancy it at all at the moment, but then given that I currently spend most of my day discreetly burping and feeling very mildly nauseous that's perhaps not too surprising.

I also have gone off chocolate!!!! Its just wrong wrong wrong in oh so many ways to not want chocolate.

fifilou · 28/10/2007 14:18

fifi good to see you back - how was the holiday? and how's your ear? Don't know where the CM link is, which one do you mean?

flosspot · 29/10/2007 11:30

Ooo- not wanting chocolate.....I went off chocolate....could be a good sign!!!!

Just popping in to say hello, and to sprinkle liberal amounts of baby dust in your Martinis!

mistlethrush · 29/10/2007 12:55

Nomore - off alchohol - maybe you don't need to join in the round of marinis that seems to be circulating here!

I'm going to have one though, even though we won't be 'trying' again until after Christmas - need to be sure that everythings OK first with my history. Got to get myself geared up to buying some more tests so that I can verify that nothing happening - if still faint+ve have to go and get some blood tests sorted to make sure levels are dropping. Oh what joy!

noooomoooorescarynames · 29/10/2007 17:30

but at only cd22 I'm not reading anything into it. Prob a good job I'm off alcohol at the mo as it would only make me more (not ttc related - my cat's very ill at the mo)

mistlethrush · 29/10/2007 23:27

Hope cat is OK - always difficult with pets. At least ds can now tell me when he's not feeling well - although we now have to take what he says with a pinch of salt as he rather likes calpol and will say that he's ill in order to get some! We've just finished the tixilix night-time and they only had Benelin available - luckily this doesn't taste as nice as Tixilix - he can now be persuaded to have Benelin to make his cought better, but he doesn't want to have it because he likes it!

Just watching Pib and Pob on Ardman DVD - don't think we'll show it to ds....

noooomoooorescarynames · 30/10/2007 12:41

Crikey it's quiet in here
Hope you are all ok?

mistlethrush · 30/10/2007 22:34

All OK here. Yes, very quiet. How are you?

kensgirl · 31/10/2007 10:29

Hello there!'ve been away from mn for a while as I still have a hormonal laptop, and we had car problems, so i have been busy trying to sort that out too.

This new layout shocked me a bit, I couldn't find anyone!! Still, I've sorted it out now.

please will everyone fill me in on any major news that I may have missed?

Nothing too exciting from me - I went to the GP a couple of weeks ago, as we have been ttc now 10'5 months, but about 13 cycles. She said it was too early to refer us, and to go back in January if i'm not pg. She has sent me for day 21 blood tests though, so that will be Friday, cd 19 today. She told me to just continue with folic acid, and dh to go easy on cycling , laptops, hot baths, etc. He has been taking the wellman supplements, munching brazil nuts, and a daily fruit smoothie for us both. Oh, and that we were probably bonging too much, only to do the wild thing every few days, or every other day.

Still, fingers crossed hey?

mistlethrush · 31/10/2007 12:15

Hi Kensgirl - was wondering where you'd got to! At least you're getting the blood tests sorted out - which is a good start. January not that far off now!

My friend (in the business) suggested every two or three days was a good aim - from day 9 onwards. So, that is similar advice to your Doctor's.

Been very quiet here recently.

toomuchtimehaunting · 31/10/2007 12:19

Hi everyone.. quiet on here isn't it.. where is everyone?

bonging too much!?!

I'm so depressed about the whole thing that we are giving up until after xmas now..

Morning MT

Hi Kensgirl - good to have you back.. sorry about your GP! Jan will be here before you know it and hopefully you'll have a BFP by then

Hi nomore how are you doing? How's your cat? Any news after you've been off the alcohol ?

toomuchtimehaunting · 31/10/2007 12:20

Floss, Fi, Sybil, Ready, teeheelaydee and everyone else - {big hello}

mistlethrush · 31/10/2007 12:25

(((Toomuch))). Don't get depressed! Enjoy the party season - I intend to - and then start again in the New Year. I'm doing just that. I wouldn't have minded an abstemious Christmas again, but it wasn't to be, so I'm going to make the most of it. (However, just resolved to cut down alchohol anyway following listening to the radio this morning about cancer risks...).

Probably ought to eat the Pregnacare anyway - did have some for 6 days, but gave up. Still got to go and buy test to make sure that its really -ve... Don't really want to but need to to make sure everything is OK...

noooomoooorescarynames · 01/11/2007 08:26

hiya toomuch sorry you're so down about ttc -if a break's what you need to relax over xmas then do it. ((hugs)) MT I can't say I'm wishing for a BFN for you, but I hope testing doesn't cause you any more heartache than you've already had. ((hugs to you to)) hi kensgirl grrrr to your GP But at least you're getting the bood tests done - I had to wait 3 months as my day 1 kept falling on a sat and GP insisted it had to be day 1 or 2 and that day 3 was too late. not sure how cat is - off to vets now and will update you later [hsmile] (better use the halloween ones while they're still here!)

mistlethrush · 01/11/2007 08:28

Hi Nomore - hope cat is OK. I see halloween smilies have gone already !

noooomoooorescarynames · 01/11/2007 08:30

ok so the halloween smile didn't work and neither did the return key by the look of things!

Here's some extra lines for you to add in to my last post to make it look right

Something weird's going on with the formatting...

mistlethrush · 01/11/2007 09:27

When's the vet appointment? Is cat better than it was - hope so.

Did you find a present for your bf birthday? What have you got her?

noooomoooorescarynames · 01/11/2007 12:30

Hi MT

Cat is better than he was, but not out of the woods yet - vet's was first thing this morning and we're waiting to see how he is over the next 24hrs. He got worse on Tues, then a bit better last night, so we're just praying he's on the mend now. Yesterday morning he had blood in his urine which is not good, but he's on ABs so fingers crossed.

Have asked Whizzz to make me a charm bracelet for BF.
