Geordie and moschops, just take everyday as it comes, though I really feel for you guys! Really really hope all goes well for you both....just keep positive, as Hester says, the odds look fab!

Hesyer yes I am around for crimbo! having xmas day at MIL AND FIL (dead nice lovely day!...honest!)

Still can pot believe I managed to get an appointment with the gynae bod for 4 weeks!!!!!! very big difference to 6 months!

Anyway must go just got in from the gym......need to shower and eat!

oh! and have a glass of wine!

jeddah · 21/12/2004 19:05

hesyer (hester!) is the way your name sounds when fainting with hunger!

hester · 21/12/2004 20:01

Rudy, you've barely scratched the surface yet!

jedds, I love the idea of 'hesyer' - kind of croaked out weakly from between parched lips...

Once again sent dp out without me tonight; am feeling very anti-social. Soon as I was on my own I ordered a takeaway and poured a glass of wine. Bliss!

jingleballs · 21/12/2004 20:08

don't forget young hester - share and share alike - (apart from any bugs, colds or other undesireable germs u may be holding onto! lol)

Tania2 · 21/12/2004 21:46

good morning everyone havent read throu post yet hope every one is well. CD 12 here bd yesterday but really not sure when i ov not really worring about it this month anyway. had an offer from my mother to help pay for IVF if we have to go through that option and Medicare refunds 80% of it so not as stressed out about having to go down that road just hoping that it wont take many goes now.

jeddah · 21/12/2004 22:19

Tania....help with the IVF you lucky person you1 only hoping you wont need it!!!!!

Hester what takeaway did you get?

Just thinking about all the food and booze I will put away over crimbo!.....joining slimming world in new year though!

off to bed, early night for me. Dh watching tv for a bit.

Runtus how to you feel on the clomid????????

SweetFudge · 22/12/2004 02:53

Hi everyone,

Thanks v. much, Hester. I'm not holding my breath though re. getting a positive result. I don't have the nausea I had when it worked that first time.

JB - What a lovely thought! Wouldn't that be marvellous to have a Christmas BFP? DH is arriving on Friday, the 24th. His birthday is this Thursday, the 23rd.

In answer, AF is officially late by a couple of days based on my longest cycle but my body has a very alarming ability to respond to my emotional state ie. my periods have held out till I actually tested and got BFNs, then voila! AF would appear later that day. Mebbe I'll be like poor Queen Mary and convince myself into a phantom pregnancy one day! I'm sending you lots of babydust for your upcoming bd! Are you going to do the whole soft music and scented candles thing to set the mood? Or get right down to business, JB?

Tania2 · 22/12/2004 04:08

Girls have to share this news iam really happy and cant wait to shove these results up my gyno's ar*e........my test for cylamydia came back ok i dont have it and have no signs of ever having it....Bastard that will teach him to jump to conclusions oh and dh is off the hook now .
Iam so happy happy happy!!!!!!
Now all i need to do is prove him wrong and get up the duff and quick!!!

SweetFudge · 22/12/2004 04:21

Hurrah! I'm very happy for you Tania2. Sending you lots of babydust so you can get busy with dh.

cockenzie · 22/12/2004 07:35

jb - what do u mean if i know someone with an account? another 5 days to wait for af.dp off for 10 days tonight.youpee!!

anyone elso off soon for xmas?

jb - u was talking about paking to go home. where is ur home?

ernest · 22/12/2004 08:39

hi all,
jeddah, really pleased you managed to get a sooner appointment
tania, glad your results came back neg - weight off your mind at least. hope you do get that bfp soon
I'm day 25/25 today, so will buy a test, try to hold out till tomorrow. Don't think it will be bfp, didn't bd for while cos staying with in-laws (prefer me own bed, ta very much), terrfied of making noise . don't have any symptoms, just testing for the sake of it really. In a way i hope I'm not cos i stupidly got totally plastered last night. and I took a pain killer yesterday - bloody painful back. If I did get bfp I'll spend the next 8/9 months paranoid I've done some serious damage. Blimey, i feel I've done myself some serious damage after last night

anyone else testing soon?

RudyDudy · 22/12/2004 08:49

hello

great news about the appt jeddah - don't feel bad about it, that's how it should be and it's just a shame that you have to chase for it. Fingers crossed that things move quickly.

I can totally empathise with you ernest - spent all of last week dosing myself up on day nurse and night nurse so in a way wouldn't mind if I wasn't pg this month but then again most people drink, take drugs and even smoke before realising they are pg and usually with no ill effect. CD37 for me and expecting AF to arrive tomorrow. Managed not to test this morning but may do later - you know, if I'm bored or something

Tan - very pleased about your result - you must be very relieved. You just get on with the bd and let the babydust do the rest

DH first day off today - hurrah so we're packing and sorting ourselves out and generally getting into holiday mood (Oh, and of course he'll be out later to buy my presents - sometimes he is such a stereotype!). We're off tomorrow evening and I shall have intermittent internet access so shall pop in when I can to say hi and hope that there's some christmas morning bfps.

cockenzie · 22/12/2004 08:49

yes testing at the weekend

RudyDudy · 22/12/2004 08:50

hi cockenzie - good luck with the testing! When is AF due?

Tania2 · 22/12/2004 08:51

Thanks sweetfudge.
ernest dont stress about getting drunk or taking the pain killer it will be fine if you are pg just think of all thous drugies on the streets and they have healthy babies. iam sure its too early to do any damage.
Have my appointment with the gyno tomorrow hoping he can be a little more positive towards me since i will be taking dh along cant wait to tell him that my test was negitive.

Tania2 · 22/12/2004 08:54

Best of luck to you cockenzie.
So who will be around still for xmas with me? Iam not going away this holidays as dh has to work most of the days except the main days of course.

jingleballs · 22/12/2004 08:58

cockenzie - I meant an ebay account, thou they all look like they will get rather expensive - the ones that are there at the mo/ any one who has a cc they would let you borrow just to set the account up (most sellers will accept personal cheques/ postal orders). Home for me Is Portsmouth, (for the most part otherwise it's where eva I lay my head! lol)

Tan - horrah! I'm so happy for you, at least thats one thing crossed off your list, (and be honest did u eva doubt ur DH really? - Is hoping not anyways) Hope ur still BD just incase! lol. anyhow good luck for tomorrow if we don't speak b4, let us know how you get on. was the pushing the dye thing not an option in your case? still once you know, at least u'll have a better idea on what ur fighting here, and as long as it's something u can fight theres a chance u'll get PG. so remeber that thought!

SF - after 3 months it's straight down to business I think! lol. (candles can wait for another night! lol) although he won't be coming anywhere near me until he's had a shower (apparently in his reg. it's tradition not to shower for 3 days b4 coming home so they stick the plane out) gross exactly... so no (ahem bd) until after he's cleaned up! hopfully u'll be PG - or u could test tomorrow and not tell DH until he arrives? either way good luck and hope santa brings you a nice little bundle of joy!

ernest - good luck hon hopefully u'll be PG fingers crossed anyhow, let us know how you get on.

Well it's cd24 here (last one b4 DH returns......yay.....) no AF boobs v sore and heavy... god it's horrible being a woman some days! lol. Lasty day at work today then 10 blissful days off, with no house work to do!

(JB can now be found in the corner dancing a little jiggy singin " I'm comin home I'm coming home JB's comin home!" lol, Yay..... England!! - you just don't know how much you miss little england until u see the boarder sign.... (normally I ring DH and say......guess where I am.......ENGLAND!!! lol) any how.....Yay...England! lol.

ernest · 22/12/2004 08:59

I'm not going anywhere & dh hardly off work at all so I'll be here

Have a great time all you lucky enough to be going away

jingleballs · 22/12/2004 09:00

ooh (a) sorry it's so long (b) Cockenzie - good luck hon, fingers crossed for you. (c) rudy where r u off to for xmas? (d) jedds/hester - if u get BFP's and leave i'm gonna find u and bring u back! lol

seriously, if I don't manage to say congrats to everyone b4 xmas, big congrats to all those testers and BFP's ur all gonna get!

(is now back in the corner with an early glass of taboo - due to the festive season dancing away)

RudyDudy · 22/12/2004 09:07

taboo??? Oh god, she's on the loopy juice already - looking forward to your posts later jb . You must be so excited about your DH coming home - don't you think it's funny that you count it in how many AFs left??!! We're off to my folks in the Midlands then Warrington, Preston and onto Edinburgh for Hogmanay. I'm sooo excited! Supposed to be working today but not sure how productive I'll be...

jingleballs · 22/12/2004 09:11

it's not loopy juice - I firmly resent that coment Rudy ! ROFL! it's a little er.... juice to get me in the festive spirit! (believe me workin here we need it! lol) apparently thou the boss has a bottle of red wine for out tea break at 11! - not much work going on later on then! he he. it's funny yes counting in AF's, (It started off as weeks but now AF's)

cockenzie · 22/12/2004 09:19

af due either xmas day or boxing day.if my cycle is 30 days (boxing day)if its 29 days (xmas day).

cockenzie · 22/12/2004 09:20

RudyDudy · 22/12/2004 09:23
