Jeddah, I know York well - lived there once! Fortunately now live way down south so can chat to you without worry that you'll turn out to be my auntie's best friend's sister or something . Come to think of it, I was once a birth partner in york - wonder if you were one of our midwives? Oh, and I forgot to say earlier that the friend whose just given birth is 40 - hooray, another one for us broody old biddies!

Ooh, I'm so excited I'm going to be cuddling a newborn baby in about two hours . She's my best friend - do you think she loves me enough to give me this baby, seeing as she has another at home? It would be the selfless, generous thing to do, wouldn't it? Shall i suggest it?

MINNIE1 · 28/10/2004 16:24

hester,
Was going to suggest that to my sis, as she has 3 now and the last one was born on Monday... But she said get your own!!! He is a right little cutie.. and i'm as broody as hell.

hester · 28/10/2004 16:31

Honestly, these mums - how do they expect to teach their children the right values if they never learn to SHARE?

Bibi20 · 28/10/2004 16:35

Hi

Just wanted to say that I'm loving the humour today girls, and what with it being sunny outside (I'm in London too SilverLining) today is a very good day!

Thank you!

hester · 28/10/2004 16:49

Hi Bibi20! I'm in London too - the sunny East End. The sun is beginning to go down and spreading pink and golden light over the grimy hovels all around... little children are throwing fireworks at passing cats... I can hear singing from the residents of the Salvation Army hostel...

Where are you?

hester · 28/10/2004 17:01

I'm off now. have a nice evening, all. Have a nice day, Tania.

mousey70 · 28/10/2004 17:04

Hello all ty for the lovely welcome.

Tested again with first response one and was another neg but still no AF. So still a bit puzzled.

Took us 6 yrs to conceive the first one so kinda been playing with fire and no contraception based on that fact.

I've got my fingers crossed for all those ttc and hugs to those who have to wait another month. I've been there and know how desperate you can feel but it happened out of the blue for me so you never know.

I really like the friendly people on here so I'm going to stick with the thread for a while if thats ok

Bibi20 · 28/10/2004 18:17

Hester - LOL you got me again! I'm in (now dark) South West London - lack of cats and fireworks but a marvellous view of B&Q.

Welcome to the new gals, I was lurking for ages, then a sometime poster and now really getting into the whole 'chat' thing. Problem is I'm self-employed and am therefore not paid to surf - hmmm.

CD15 for me, I'm going with the 'if I act like I don't care it might happen' philosophy this month, so pretending I don't know when I'm fertile. Yeah right.

SHELY · 28/10/2004 18:25

thanks munzzieb, you are right, it is fun trying, but i wonder if it will be fun "trying" a few months from now, when the "tension" of trying to make a baby really takes hold of me, full blast!. i'll probobly feel as sex will be just like, "using him for his sperm", isn't that terrible?, And i would hate for that to happen, we have always had an awesome sex life, but iam afraid, iam going to do less enjoying, and more sobbing, if i don't get pg soon iam usually pretty positive, but today i just feel down altogether.

And Hester- yeah ask your friend about the newborn baby, maybe she can spare him/ or her since she has another child to tend to already lol. i know the feeling, holding a newborn right now, would be heartbreaking, i'd never do it, but i'd want to run away with it! it will happen soon enough i figure, and don't worry, i won't be committing any felonies lol. baby dust to all you ldaies out on the board today! and munzzieb keep in touch!

SilverLining · 28/10/2004 18:26

lol at Bibi20 - I know exactly what you mean about pretending not to care and not know the dates etc!!! I also thought if I'm kind of relaxed about it then its bound to happen.... we'll see, I've got a long wait ahead of me!

Also know what you mean about lurking but can see this becoming quite addictive!!! Hopefully we can all move to a different thread soon - ie Due in 2005!!!

Its great to be open about things too - we've told nobody that we are TTC - mainly as we've been a bit coy with it having had a nightmare 12 months with DD who has lost the will to sleep since she was a newborn so we've been very bravo about how we'd cope with another one .....except now I really really really want one!!!

Off to make my christmas cake tonight - get me! Raunchy undies one minute - apron and mixing bowl on the other!!!! How can DH resist .....now what day is it????! xxxx

MunnzieB · 28/10/2004 18:55

Don't worry about it Shely, We've been trying now for just on 6 months, (well 51/2 b4 he went away) and he started to feel like a sperm bank!, but we dipped off as it were as neithre of us were really concerned with it, but then it picked back up again. I've come to the conclusion it will happen when it happens, thou I went to the dr today and I have to have another boarder line Hormone test b4 he will refer me for a gyno. (luckily it's only 3 month waiting list)

Oh does any one know if u can OV and not see AF, or if you can c AF but not ov?

MunnzieB · 28/10/2004 18:56

don't 4 get to put a tounch of brandy in the xmas cake, but not too much if youre eating it as well! lol

BeckiF · 28/10/2004 18:57

I couldn't wait and did the test and got the usual bfn .... idiot that I am

wilbur · 28/10/2004 19:09

Blimey silverlining, christmas cake already - that's good. I've got my trusty Good Housekeeping and I will be following thier recipe (minus glace cherries as dh hates them) this year - prob won't get the mixer out till Dec tho! Yours will be all yummy and gooey and perfect by then!

Re cuddling newborns - I reckon it must do something to the old hormones, like Iman said. If you think what they can do to their mothers, causing milk to spout, hearing to sharpen etc, I just feel that all women must respond just a teeny bit. I had a cuddle with a friend's 3 month old today - gorgeous and soooo soft. Then I tried to give dd (18 months) a baby-type cuddle and she whacked me round the face with her beaker and told me to eff off (in baby talk, natch). Oh well... Af still visiting - dh not home so I am having chocolate for dinner. Are there b vitamins in Fruit and Nut?

jeddah · 28/10/2004 19:14

Hello girlies!!

Silverlining.....we are trying the natural this month!.....my dh gets cheesed off when we don't get preggers and insists that it has to do with all the thinking/working out/test strips/bd timimg etc etc etc etc. Anyway we will see this month.

BeckiF · 28/10/2004 19:23

Jeddah I have no idea. As my last sycle was 12 MONTHS long and I suffer with PCOS my cycles are all over the place Unfortunately is rather hit and miss and hope for thes best. Just cover it by bd'ing all the time.

velcrobott · 28/10/2004 19:23

LipstickMum · 28/10/2004 19:24

Hiya Jedds!!!!....... I am ok, feeling generally nauseous, dread having to eat, exhausted etc. But, of course it's great, wouldn't have it any other way

Am SO keeping my fingers crossed for you guys this month, I expect you to be hot on our heels in the 'due in July' thread ok????

Lots of luck and ~~~~~~~~~

LipstickMum · 28/10/2004 19:25
