xx ei xx

I'm laughing the at the 2 of you Bucky and GG - but only because I've made the same mistakes in the past!!! Trouble is, I sometimes work in a shop and I've left the laptop running when I've snuck on mnet for a sneaky lurk and then been called away - I then come back to realise that its on the screen for all the world to see (am hoping customers vision isn't brilliant !!)

Hope that Molly is kept safe and well til you can pick her up Bucky - am on your behalf at the dog walkers words. Is there no other agency you could use?? Shame you don't live round here - working in a pet shop means I've got the 'inside' (!) knowledge on whos who in dog walking!!!!

Beanie I know how you feel - I once heard a lady on here say she wants a Martini Baby - any time, any place, anywhere!!

Sounding good JB!!! Keep those temps up!

Hope the viewing goes well tomorrow Ei

Hi to everyone else - Pink hope you manage the wait until Monday (test day) ok!!

HIYA

Im on CD19 and Had +OPK 6 days ago now, I also had pink tinged mucas yesterday which im hoping is an implantation bleed.

Im dying to test!!

thanks pnm
good luck d

Goodness That took me ages to cath up.
Now I have to remember all that I have read, eek!

Oh dear bucky & GG you two aren't doing well at work.
Bad enough to let the home truths out whilst slightly drunk, but He will prob think the male infertility sheet was a dig at him. He sounds like the type of arrogant beeep who would think everything is all about him.
bucky I don't think I would worry. He is a man, afterall, not know for their thinking about things are they?
And your new dog, aww she has big sad frowny eyes. Sweet. You just want to give her a hug.

ei Ooh yes I like the look of your house too. I woudl like to have one like that but there is no such property up here in teh wilds of Scotland. My property is not much to look at so I won't put a link ( you would all think I was mad!) But it has a view to die for and loads of potential.
Have you heard of John O'Groats? Well near there is a place called Dunnet Head. It is the most Northern tip of the british mainland. That would be my, uninterupted view!
Hope the viewing goes well tommorrow.

Disenchanted ooh! I hope it is implantation. What else can it be at that time of the month?
S'obvious

pink were you still BD about 14days ago ish, just in case you ov'd late?
If ov was defo CD14, but norm LP is 10-16 days Must be late ov, maybe?

morning ladies
hi twinklingfairy - ye you could be right bd jan31st,feb 4th,7th,10th,14th and 20th(that would have been 14 days ago ish) and march 1st and 4th.
will cross fingers

Morning all,

GG Oh goodness! Shared printers are a curse!

bucky I love the idea of your joke spreading through the office like wildfire! Did you confess?! Oh and did the man agree to you collecting the dog a bit later? I hope so, she's so sweet.

P&M Oooooooh working in a pet shop sounds fun! Do you have a heap of animals at home too? I'm not sure I could resist!

TF I love the sound of the house you want. The views sound tremendous. Has the sale gone through?

ei Good luck for the viewing today. How are you feeling? Hope AF doesn't arrive. My fingers are firmly crossed!

Disenchanted That sounds v positive! Good luck holding out to test.

pink I hope the pill hasn't just messed your cycle up, I did loads of tests during my last (62 day!) cycle but AF eventually arrived. Hope that doesn't happen to you and you caught a late egg.

FF has put my red lines in and confirmed I ov on Tuesday!

Afternoon everyone!

Apologies for my absence - i have had a really busy week workwise, and in the evenings i have been exhausted and just falling asleep on the sofa (sadly, on CD 8, i cannot even pretend that i have the "tiredness" symptom) I haven't even had the time or energy to lurk! I logged on excitedly hoping to see some BFPs... somebody must be due one soon, surely

Anyhow, i have had a good read through in an attempt to catch up with all the news.

Bucky/DollyParton new dog looks gorgeous! I do hope that you are still able to have her. You mentioned that you are going off on holiday without DH - have i missed something - where are you off to?? I don't remember hearing about it. I'm sure he'll cope with 2 dogs.

coolkat i'm pleased to hear that the GP apologised and that the results were better than you were led to believe. Hope you are doing ok this week.

GG glad to hear that DH seems quite pro-active about things, though [cross] that the GP couldn't offer more help over the results. Do hang on in there - sperm tests results can vary greatly, and as many others have said, you only need the one! Easy to say, i know, but true. Have been giggling at your work embarrasments - although i'm sure you weren't at the time.

JB good to hear that it sounds like you have ov'd - fingers crossed for you!

hattyyellow how is the GI diet goig?

libralady lovely to see you, and hear that everything is progressing well.

Scaryhairy we can see you lurking there!!! Hope you are feeling more chilled.

ratbunny welcome!

EI good luck with house viewing today. It looks beautiful!

twinklingfairy that house you described sounds gorgeous. i would love to have views like that!

Picknmix i love your liberated attitude (with secret obsessing testing!!!)

Big hello to everyone else - hope you all have a good weekend.

Not much to report here. DH is fine now after the accident. I think it hit us both hard a few days after - thinking about the "what ifs". If he hadn't had airbags in the car the outcome would have been extremely different. Anyway, i've told him he can't die yet - i've already lost one husband - to lose two would simply be careless!!!!

I feel a bit ambivilent about ttc this month. I want a baby just as much as ever, i just can't be bothered with the whole checking CM, cervix, doing opks etc. The actual reality of us having a baby together seems such a distant possibility at the moment. Hopefully i'll get a bit more motivated as ovulation approaches!

hi jb i am hoping not either thanks

MOB So glad you are OK, was getting worried there. It must have been awful for you, especially after having lost your first DH so thankful he is OK. You haven't lost your sense of humour though! Have you been reading some Oscar Wilde?

Having a relaxed cycle has worked for lots of people on these boards so perhaps taking it easy will work for you!

ei Any news from you. As MOB said we haven't had a BFP on here for ages! Fingers crossed for you.

Hi girls,

MOB really glad you and DH are okay sending you hugs.

Bucky and GG cringing for you! Hope it's settled down again at work?

ei any news from the house viewings - they look amazing!

Waving to everyone

Not much news from me, day 24 and don't feel any different from normal. Just hoping that I have a slightly longer cycle than 26 days this month - shorter cycles seem worse than long somehow as less time for stuff to happen .

Low Gi diet going really well. Am pretty sure I have PCOS and doctor seemed to agree. I think it was never spotted before as I was on the pill for so long which masks the symptoms and I'm not overweight.

So decided to try and make positive life changes that were beneficial for conception but if the BFP doesn't happen are still positive. Since we started ttcing again last summer I'd got into the habit of dieting like mad for the first two weeks of each cycle and then eating crap for the last two/three weeks as I felt miserable and anxious about ttcing.

Feeling much more energetic avoiding too much carbs, fat etc and have been trying to eat healthily rather than diet foods which just seem full of sugar and additives. Doing aerobics twice a week too -all things that make me feel more positive and give me "me" time in between kids and work.

So even if it doesn't happen this month at least I won't be even more depressed by not being able to do my jeans up after two weeks of eating like the pregnant woman I thought I was! I don't have horrendous skin just stubborn red spots that crop up which I can just about mask under make up - but they've definitely got better so somethings working!

Hatty Oooooh you sound super healthy with the diet and exercise . It is hard not to reach for the biscuit tin when feeling miserable, I find my paws reaching for it more often than is healthy. I'll be keeping my fingers (or paws?!) crossed that AF doesn't arrive in the hattyellow house this weekend. Same goes for the ei and bucky abodes too, good luck girls and anyone else I've missed out. We need a BFP on here!!!

GG Glad to see some really positive stories on your thread now.

Mr Jollybear texted earlier to ask if I can test yet, 3DPO today! Honestly .

Have a great weekend all.

JB it's all going to pot tonight though!

Cooking for in-laws as FIL birthday - at special request am doing chicken satay and chocolate brownies with ice cream for pudding! Yummmmm..you can't be healthy all the time can you?

That's so sweet of Mr Jollybear!

Have a lovely weekend

just wanted to second what jolly said! we do need an encouraging BFP on here soon

hello madoldbird - so pleased for you that your DH is ok afetr his accident.

I am off for the weekend to visit the out-laws so won;t be posting until Monday.

have a lovely weekend ladies [smile

hi all

i am testing monday so heres crossing everything for a bfp

evening ladies

at the moment i have stomach cramps,feel windy and sick. craving really unhealthy foods.

JB sorry to get you worried! Although i was touched that you were worried IYSWIM Unfortunately work does sometimes get in the way of MN Will have to hand my notice in if it continues to do so!! I laughed at your DH asking if you can test yet - my DH did that, on our first cycle, i think - more or less as soon as we'd finished BDing he said "can we do a pregnancy test yet?" I explained some of the biology to him at that point and he looked rather overwhelmed!

Hattyyellow i can really identify with your good 2 weeks / bad 2 weeks that you were talking about - i have got into a bad habit of doing that. First two weeks i am trying to eat healthily, at the gym etc, then i have two weeks of "well, i may be pregnant, so no point in trying to lose weight" etc. Then when AF arrives i hit rock bottom and eat and drink utter rubbish for a couple of days!! I will have to try and follow your good example. I'm glad my DH is not the only one who thinks about names! He has already chose a boy and a girl name. We now have the minor problem of producing a baby to give one of these names to...

GG have a good weekend with the out-laws (if you can - do you get on with them??)

Bucky any news on Molly?

EI how was the house?

pinkgirl you are very strong not testing again until monday!

hi ladies
we went to see the houses and they were lovely so just a small matter of decideing whether to offer on one or not in other news...i have had some pink/red spotting so im pretty sure il be back to CD1 by monday ahh well it could be worse i suppose... otherwise i have had some definite 'symptoms' of somethin!! i had a 'let down' kind of feeling in my left (.)(.) and some yellowy milky somethin or other that was suspiciously similar to colostrum very confusing!! also im crippled with heartburn this cycle aswell so heres hoping for an implantation i do like clutchin at those straws
MOB at allowing work to come between you and us
hope everyone else is ok to hatty pink GG JB mibbes PnM bucky scully CK DG and anyone else i have missed
xx ei xx

hi moldb*- i am trying to wait as dont want to many let downs of bfn
ei houses sound good-symptoms sound interesting
i have cramps wind yesterday and today and lots of white cm this morning

EIiii You missed me out and sulking now.

Ooh, that is soo good that you liked the houses. Must feel better to feel you have options.

We have backed away from the whole house thing for the moment, to make him feel that no-one wants it. So that he drops his price.
A scary game, we could miss out entirely, but I don't think we will. And if we do, well hey, we have a lovely house right now really. Just not the perfect house.

But, much like TTC, what will be will be and when it chooses it, not me. Damn why can't I control fate as well as everything else!?
Oops did I say that out loud

Glad your DoldH is ok MOB
And the girls are right, maybe if you don't care this month, then sods law will dictate that you get your BFP.
I know I will get mine next month, cos I really don't want a christmas baby!!
Ok, I would love a baby any time, any place (who said that earlier?) but if I have a choice it would not be christmas, for the childs sake.

PIL up this weekend and I am being incredibly rude being on here at all.
I will not list my hellos, cos I would defo miss someone out. Then they would sulk, like me

hi ladies
aaawwwwww TF how could i have missed my fave fairy out?? silly me there you go my dear i wont miss you out never ever ever again
things are not as i planned in the ei household as i had an unexpected visitor from all our most despised aunts through the night she has well and truelly unpacked for a lengthy and unwelcomed stay ah well on to the next cycle i plod...cycle 5 and counting
hope everyone else is fine to everyone collectively so as not to accidentally miss anyone out
xx ei xx

hi ei sorry to hear about af

thanx pink i hope you get a BFP on monday we could do with some good news
xx ei xx

Glad everything is OK and you DH is getting over his ordeal.

Ei How exciting about the house . Hope you choose one.

We met DG for lunch and she looked literally radiant. Digibean is definitely being kind to his/her mummy. . The time flies so quickly, she is nearly 12 weeks already!

Me well, back at CD2, shortest cycle ever just over and Dolly Parton (.)(.)s have departed...shame as I have to break out the summer gear for a week as of Thursday. I could have gone for 'voluptuous' rather than the 'getting chubby' look I will no doubt end up with in my bikini..... MOB/JB I am having a compulsory vacation with my parents! My grandmother lives in the Caribbean and is super old. My mother and father visit her each year (and I always have an excuse not to go) however this year they have insisted I HAVE to visit before its too late! I am sure they are right, but my mother is driving me potty already. She has already 1. Insisted I pack and weigh my case and tell her how much she can put in my suitcase, 2. Tell her exactly what time I am leaving "..."and Bucky you must be there at least 3.5 hours before the flight..." (3 hours is she MAD????) and I am not going until THURSDAY!!!, 3. Measure all my windows as she insists I must buy fabric to make myself new curtains whilst I am out there...I could go on. My mother is a sweetie and of course I love her to death but she is driving me mental and I haven't even left to go on holiday yet!!! Bet your glad you asked now!! Its not all bad, I have friends and cousins there so there will be some G&T drinking, beaches and yacht rides out to gorgeous islands...But if you start to feel jealous...just remmeber my mother will never be far away

morning ladies
sorry to hear about af bucky2008
holiday sounds good

from yesterday have been weeing more often suddenly get desperate and in bed last nite notice that i had a funny taste in my mouth
