Maybe a nice shiny new thread will get us all enthusiastic again. I am on my rubbish diet so I only have nuts and beans to put out on the table. Oh and gin of course ;o) Anyone got any cakes to tempt me with?

Ding ding....let's...go

Do you think I have gone a bit mad

cheers i am feeling excited!!

GryffinGirl · 12/05/2008 11:06

Hurrah for tinkerbell and her BFP!!! That is brilliant news for you. IT is a lucky thread, which is why I shang out here hoping it will be my turn soon

where is everyone else today. It is very quiet and I suspect you are all out and enjoying the sunshine.

hattyyellow · 12/05/2008 13:04

GG I am here - struggling to do any work when the sun is shining and I am working from home so no one knows what I'm doing anyway [no self-discipline emoticon].

Loving your "shanging out". What a great new word, sounds like a mixture of shagging (very appropriate for a ttcing thread, mixed with some surfy beach speak - I'm completly shanged dude).

Really must do some work.

GryffinGirl · 12/05/2008 13:16

hatty - arghhhh, I really MUST preview my posts. Ha ha "Shanging out" . How are you feeling today? Any sickness?

I agree. Hard to get motivated to do any work. I was on a hen weekend in Paris and it was 34c there. Far too hot to do anything except sit in a cafe and drink cold wine . DH stayed at home and ate organic salad and remains alcohol free to improve swimmers . I am really proud of him, but ti will be three months before we know if this si working. Poor thing having three months of abstinence ahead of him. CD18 for me, so the 2WW starts again, but it is hard to be depressed in this weather .

hello to everyone else!

Where is Bucky

QueenyEisGotTheBall · 12/05/2008 13:24

afternoon ladies
AF arrived at my house this mornin i really thought we were in with a chance this cycle but hey ho not meant to be obv.!!!!

xx ei xx

hattyyellow · 12/05/2008 13:29

GG don't apologise I love "shanging out"..already trying to figure out how I can use it in everyday conversation..your hen weekend sounds lovely, tres glamorous..and well done your DH with the healthy living!

Feeling very queasy and my appetite/diet has gone crackers. HAve had 4 apples, 2 packets of worcester sauce wheat crunchies and a banana smoothie, plus 3 croissants just for lunch! Have started refusing to go near the dishwasher as have taken agin the smell of our dishwasher tablets - handy, eh?

ei so sorry the witch got you . Enjoy the chocolate - sending you big hugs.

PicknMix · 12/05/2008 15:47

Anyone mind if I shang out here today ???

Am also trying to work from home today Hatty but to no avail!!

Ei - that evil horrible cow af! Make sure you indulge (I melted chocolate so this heat is perfect for it). Hugest hugs to you xx

GG at your hen weekend, does sound rather lovely. Good on MrGG at his current will power, am very impressed.

Just to add a few symptoms in - am CD34, ov'ed on CD23 (or thereabouts) so am waiting until CD40 until I can test (LP is 16 days ish) - I have currently got huge and painful boobs and am suffering with a cold (hayfever??). I am also having the weirdest dreams at the mo (and usually I don't remember my dreams at all!). It all sounds so good written down but I just know it'll be bfn and back to cd1 before long!

Days with SIL not as bad as I had anticipated - thank you to all who asked. DH actually found it more painful than me, poor man.

Me me me - sorry!

hattyyellow · 12/05/2008 15:50

Shang away PnM...Fingers crossed it's your month...glad SIL visit not too tricky...

GryffinGirl · 12/05/2008 16:18

picknmix - definitely come and shang out with us . Glad to hear the SIL weekend wasn't too bad. i think that sometimes the grim anticipation turns out not to be so bad in reality - your poor DH having a bad time though. I have my fingers crossed for you to get a BFP this month - ooooh, exciting. We are a lucky thread and you deserve lots of BFP luck . You have willpower to hold out on the testing!

hatty - I think I have started something with this shanging business . It was a fun weekend - you lot must think I am a right hooray henry type with all these trips and I am soooo NOT . Not sure we were very glamerous or tres chic in Paris. Mainly we wilted in the heat nursing our hangovers. I am getting too old to stay out until 4am . I am PMSL at you being unable to load the dishwasher. If I ever get up the duff myself, I will make sure I have nausious aversions to steam from the iron, Fairy Liquid, dishwasher tablets, Sainsbury's and all supermarkets, bin bags and Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner . Oh yeah,...and dust . DH will simply have to do everything that makes me sick

Ei - oh no, I am so sorry AF arrived. I am really for you. You are always so cheery on this thread keeping our spirits up, so sending you lots of BFP luck too.

hello to everyone else. Has tinkerbell disappeared off to the Due to January thread . hello tink if you are still about.

Bucky - I am about to put out a missing persons alert for you

mibbes - hope you are feeling ok. How is the weather with you in lovely Scotland.

Jolly - are you feeling any better m'dear? Hope the anti-emetics are working for you.

hattyyellow · 12/05/2008 16:23

GG I like it! Hadn't thought of the list of possible dodges for the rest of the housework - will steal them, nice one!

I think you are a secret It girl and spend your time swanning around on yachts in the south of france wearing big shades and paris hilton style swirly kaftans

Yes Bucky where are you? Hope you haven't acted on your threats to leave us

tinkisexcited · 12/05/2008 16:46

hi gg still lurking and yes have joined jan antenatal thread

beaniesteve · 12/05/2008 17:27

Oh I don't know what to do!
Day late and no sign of my period. I may as well test tomorrow and get it over with.
Boobs are throbbing a bit at the sides sometimes and I can't help wondering if it's a symptom.

mibbes · 12/05/2008 21:28

Ei {{hugs}} what a cow
hatty are you sure you are not eating for 3 again ?..!
GG ooh you do lead a glamorous life ! and well done DH for embracing the healthy lifestyle - let's hope it works and he is generating Olympic swimmers for summer Weather here has been pretty good - no doubt several degress cooler than down South but still we are grateful for any sun atall in Scotland ! genius idea about skiving off housework - you are genuinely not allowed to use oven cleaner due to the chemicals - I was really pleased about that but not sure DP believes me !
PnM big sore boobies could be an excellent sign - everything crossed for you !
beanie good luck !
I am feeling fine - just terrifed of scan on Fri as just don't feel properly PG iykwim - if I had MS then I'd feel less like a fraud

beaniesteve · 13/05/2008 06:54

Just did cheapie test(s)
both negative. Am two days late now so who knows, I period will start soon.

tinkisexcited · 13/05/2008 07:35

morning ladies
sorry bs hope you get an answer soon

beaniesteve · 13/05/2008 13:07

It's so annoying and I am going to have a rant. Breasts are throbbing a bit now. Still no sign of my period. Apart from that no symptoms and I am fed up with waiting TBH. Hrmph.

GryffinGirl · 13/05/2008 13:31

BS - test, test, test

beaniesteve · 13/05/2008 14:46

lol - I have done - was negative.

Bucky2008 · 13/05/2008 20:02

Guess the sunshine has everyone outside.

Congrats tink although I am very late.

Good luck PnM fingers crossed this is your month. Sounds promising.

Ei TEW is a bitch.

Well after my AF-breakdown or should I say TEWkdown...I have no idea what CD I am on (genuinely) and I have not been doing anything remotely fertility friendly including failing to BD. Apart from once day before yesterday. DH is back from working away again today though so maybe my luck will be in this evening.

Glad everyone is doing ok, sorry to those who feeling sick and those who don't and want to!

xxBuckyxx

hey Bucky great to have you back - maybe being relaxed about ttc will do the trick . Any progress with GP ?

GryffinGirl · 13/05/2008 21:33

we thought you didn't want to shang out here with us anymore Bucky . We thought you liked the other threads better .

Bucky2008 · 13/05/2008 22:00

Nah, how could I ever shang out with anyone else .

Just been really busy at work and after work and in between work and afterwork....Haven't logged on for about a week! .

PicknMix · 13/05/2008 22:32

Just popping in to say hi to Bucky!! Last month seemed a real strain on you so really pleased to hear this month is gonna be a bit more relaxed for you.

Hi to everyone else as well of course!!

Will be thinking of you on Friday Mibbes. How are our other pregnant ladies doing?

Sorry to hear about the bfn Beanie, hope you get some answers soon.

Anyone seen MOB or SH recently?

I think I might move my test day forward as am going in for an op on fri a.m (on my eye) although that will be 2 days early so not sure how reliable that will be. Still not feeling all that confident about this month though so am assuming it will be neg anyway.

Anyway, have just noticed DH has left washing on the line so best rescue it before some woodland creature half inches it in the night - oooooo and need to water the veg patch. Gosh, far too country bumpkin, need to urban it up a little!!!

Night all x

beaniesteve · 14/05/2008 07:51

morning - period came. Back to the start for me!

hattyyellow · 14/05/2008 12:20

Oh beanie I'm sorry . Fingers xd for next cycle...

I just banged my head on my desk trying to plug a printer in and then stubbed my toe whilst trying to back out quickly..am feeling so sorry for myself and whimpering quietly..

How is everyone else today?
