Thanks for suggesting that I start this thread - its a real honour. Won't be leaving it yet as am only on cd24, despite getting bfps from the 3 tests I have done today (paranoid or what?!).
Lots and lots of babydust to everyone. If this pg is successful, I will have conceived in the midst of an awful cold so that should give everyone some hope. Lots and lots of hugs.....

What's the difference between a pregnant woman and a lightbulb?

You can unscrew a lightbulb.

(I kthank you new york! lol, bit of a groner that one!)

Please excuse the rudness of this one - not my words! - In fact I'll edit the rude words out.

A sailor and a pirate walk into a bar. They sit down next to each other, get to talking and their chat soon turns to their sea adventures. The sailor tells of his days fighting wars with the Navy, and the pirate tells of robbing ships and killing his enemies with the other pirates.
The sailor notices that the pirate has an eyepatch, a hook and a peg leg and asks, ?How did you get the peg leg??
The pirate replies, ?When I was thrown off my ship and flated for two days until my crew rescued me, my leg was bitten off by a shark as I was being pulled out of the water.?

The sailor, impressed, says, ?Wow. That's very exciting. But how about the hook??
The pirate smiles, shining the hook a bit, ?When I was swordfighting with a pirate from our enemy ship for treasure, he took it right off.''
The sailor's eyes were wide with awe at how badas this pirate was, and he asked,
How did you get the eyepatch?? ?Well,?says the pirate, shifting in his seat a bit, ?a seagull st in my eye.?
The seaman looks puzzled: ?You lost an eye from gull s
t??
The pirate sighed and shook his head. ?It was my first day with the hook.?

He he he.

OOh cockenzie - stay in doors hon, button down the hatches and don't venture out! hope these winds die down soon. And FS - Don't worry i'm not that offended u said I had a rank foof! lol ok i'll drop it now, only kiddin hon! oh and enjoy ur coffee.

munnzieb · 12/01/2005 09:27

god I feel sick today and can't get motivated. Do all women have morning sickness? (I'm hoping when I do get PG not to have it cos I couldn't feel like his for 3 months)

cockenzie · 12/01/2005 10:14

with dd i was sick for 3 months without fail
well i am off in an hour and big day tomoro.the removal van picking us up 8.30and hopefully tomoro nite (although that may be a bit early) mayb connected again.oh gosh, a garden to play with!! luxury. Danderhall seems a nice place (a bus stop away from Fort Kinnaird the big commercial centre, my god the dream hehe ) and only 30mn bus from Edinburgh. what more can a girl ask for? oh yes i know A BABY hehe

hester · 12/01/2005 10:21

Kiwicath, I don't believe it! Your short stay with us obviously worked a miracle - congratulations! Send us lots of babydust, please, and I hope some of us will join you on the 'expecting' thread.

Big glass of low-alcohol champagne for you!

Had stinker period pains yesterday, and a teensy spot of pale blood today, so it looks like af is on her way. May need some help from you girls to get through the next 48 hours without doing serious chocolate damage...

Fastasleep · 12/01/2005 11:07

Aww hester I'll be no help on the choccy front I've just had a stupid crap morning and I feel like throwing myself out of the window to be honest!! Lol (not really, don't worry!)...glad you're not offended I said you were rank munnzie! By the way I had morning sickness for 6 months with no let up - I lost 2 stone and for the first three months could only eat dry toast and dry pasta without bringing at least half of wahtever it was back up again! At abgout 5 months gone I had a craving for fish and chips, ate loads, it was horrible....horrible [sicky face]

Bella23 · 12/01/2005 11:07

hello ladies, well quick update. I went to the clinic this morning and I have been booked in for a D&C thingy. I am really pleased that I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel!
The doctor was realy nice and said that I don't have to worry about waiting a month and that theyonly advice that for ease of dating etc. She said the same had happened to her and that she conceived again straight away without waiting a month so really made me feel positive!
Anyway thanks for you support and I can see there is someone who will be graduating - Kiwicath- ye ha !

triceratops · 12/01/2005 11:09

Congratulations Kiwicath - I am so pleased for you.

I know I shouldn't test as it is still too early and it makes no difference at all one way or another but I want to know [scream in frustration icon].

Plus I have house guests this weekend and I need to know how much booze to lay in. If AF arrives I will need a couple of extra cases!

I can't belive how much money I have wasted this month in negative tests which never had any chance of showing things anyway.

Bella23 · 12/01/2005 11:09

I meant to say that I am going in for it this afternoon - so talk about speed!

munnzieb · 12/01/2005 11:12

fingers crossed then bella.

Sorry about AF hester, (((((hugs))))) u just go right on and eat all the choc, but let me know first and i'll buy share in cadburys!

Fastasleep · 12/01/2005 11:19

Aww Bella best of luck!!

runtus · 12/01/2005 11:56

Best of luck Bella, hope it all goes ok for you....thought you might like to know my mate was in the exact position you are in and fell pg within 3 weeks of her D&C!

Good luck testing triceratops, lets make it a double for you and me this week!

RudyDudy · 12/01/2005 13:38

ooh, lots of testers coming up - good luck to you all! FS - you could always bulk buy tests online from medisave.co.uk - cheaper and no-one will know! Oh, and in case you're wondering, they deliver really quickly!!

Hester sorry to hear about the impending arrival of AF. Don't see what harm a bit of choc damage can do - it is full of iron you know so you could eat on health grounds

(((Bella))) - thinking of you this afternoon.

Thanks for the jokes munnzie - no less than I'd expect!!!

hester · 12/01/2005 14:00

Sitting here feeling a bit bleak. I've been trying soooo long, and at my age.... maybe I should just accept that it's not going to happen for me, and stop putting myself through this. But so, so hard to accept that I'll never be a mother.

Sorry. Obviously very premenstrual. Have no chocolate with me so may need to go buy some NOW.

hester · 12/01/2005 14:01

It's just that I used to think, 'When I have a baby...', then it turned to, 'If....' and now it's 'Could a miracle still happen?'. It's very hard to let go, but also very hard to keep going...

Have I cheered you all up yet?

MINNIE1 · 12/01/2005 14:04

Kiwicath,
Congrads that was a short stay.. Wishing you all the best for you and your pg..

triceratops · 12/01/2005 16:24

Back to day one for me better luck next month I hope. I will put this one down as practice.

hester · 12/01/2005 16:58

So sorry to hear that, triceratops . Hope next month brings better news for you.

I've just eaten a plain chocolate Bounty bar. It helped. Recommend you try it too.

Kiwicath · 12/01/2005 18:22

Thank you all so much for your kind words and best wishes. I feel a bit of a fraud for coming onto TTC at such a late stage and buggering off just as quickly . Here's hoping you guys won't be far behind XXX

Hester sweetie, daft of me to say "don't feel down" but it took us 2 years!!!! TTC before we were blessed with #1. I was on the verge of packing it all in and even made up a whole list of exciting things we could do because we didn't have kids. Fact of the matter was though that I WANTED THEM!!! so we just kept trying. I just kept thinking "you've got to be in, to win". Truck loads of baby dust coming your way XXX.

Cocenzie, like I just mentioned, we tried 2 years before getting preggers with #1 so I got incredibly good at reading my body, mood swings and "feelings" etc. I never actually did any temp charts but knew exactly when I was ovulating. The strangest thing is that even though the last 4 months cycles have been crazy ranging from 33-40 days, I've still ovulated exactly on day 14. I was on the verge of winding down the breastfeeding, convinced it was the reason we weren't conceiving but looks like I can continue for a wee bit longer. XX

jeddah · 12/01/2005 18:56
