Thanks ladies, things today are back to normal, spotting has stopped, ovary pain practically gone and baby sounds good. I will still be calling the midwife tomorrow, maybe they will have a cancellation spot for a scan.

Just my luck though, the in-laws showed up unexpectedly. Dh congratulated me on making myself not look pregnant, lol! Thankfully I have a have a jumper on that zips up and has pockets, so I kept my hands in my pockets, which I was partly doing to keep my hands warm anyway as had been outside seeing to the washing. Thank goodness we can tell them next weekend!

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend.

HM2J glad things are OK now. Think you are doing the right thing calling tomorrow anyway.
Put your feet up tonight.

Took DD to see the Dr Seuss Horton film this afternoon. We both really enjoyed it!

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend

hi ladies

HM2J - glad things have calmed down. Hope it goes well at the doc's tomorrow, just to put your mind at rest. You must have been terrified poor thing. Thinking of you xx

majormoo - glad you had fun at cinema with dd. Sounds good!

MJIM - have a fab holiday . We will miss you!

Angel - has AF arrived yet? you must be overdue by now?

Hi to everyone else!

Well, have had lovely weekend, went shopping and bought a new suit! Chocolate brown linen, very snazzy, as we have interviews for our new head this week! (you have to try to make a good impression don't you! especially seing as i might hopefully be on maternity leave in the not too distant future!)

Today is CD29, temp is still high, so no sign of AF yet. Refusing to get excited though (...honest!)

Oh CE - when are you planning to test?

HM2J - glad things are better today but still better to get checked out tomorrow if you can.

Had a good day with dh and dd loved her party - they made bears (cute) and generally ran riot in the garden!

Any testers today???? [hopeful]

Hope all OK

Hi all (and welcome Tinkerbell)

Hope everyone had nice weekends. AF still hasn't arrived but tests are still showing BFNs. I guess there is zero chance of this turning into a BFP since we last BD on 30 March?? Bellie I have had 2 cycles of 28 days and expected AF to show up last Thursday. So I thought I had a regular pattern but maybe not (although Ceebee am encouraged by what happened after your mammoth cycle)!! What is the opinion - is there no chance of a BFP?

Saint Willmouse - can we see photos of the kitten??

Juanitad - how did the kitchen-hunting go?

Soosy - good luck, I have a friend going through the same thing, I am thinking of you and sending you all my good vibes! Are you back from your scan yet?

Ceebee - next week fine for the sticks, thank you!!

HM2J - did you call the midwife - are you okay??

Carolyn - hope you are less achey today. Are you going to test soon??

Bellie - hope everything settles down for you soon - what a nightmare!

Majormoo - I have Sky Plus and can record programmes onto DVD - if you (or anyone else) ever needs me to help out with missed episodes of anything just let me know!

MJIM - sooo excited for you, wish I was going on holiday!!

My weekend was okay (apart from a massive row with DP!). Still not speaking so tonight should be a barrell of laughs!

Hi to anyone I've missed!

Angel-stay away from those tests . Me and DH fell out or should I say I fell out with him as apparently it is my fault we haven't any money. He just doesn't earn enough. He thought he was going to get his jollies last night-didn't get the message until I said no don't! Men

MJIM-hope you have an excellent holiday.

Heartmum-how are you today?

willmouse-did you get the kitten?

Good luck and vibes to anyone testing.

Waves to everyone else.

HC - LOL! I couldn't agree more! Have 'stepped away from the tests' - sigh!

Can't believe we are all on the next thread!

Can't believe kittens can move so quickly

Can't believe kittens can get into such small places

Can't believe kittens are so much work!

(At least he is litter trained and seems to be sleeping loads!)

Will post more tomorrow when the children are out of the house so I only have the cat to worry about!

hello all

LOL about the kitten post! Sounds like my inquisitive little hamsters! And you thought the DC were a handful!

Angel - STEP AWAY FROM THE TESTS!!!! I agree, no good will come from endless testing! No idea what's going on with your cycle though. it could be another delayed ovulation then late implantation? Have you BD'd more recently than 30th march? Just wondering cos if you ov'd MUCH later than you thought it could be that? Does that make any sense? And is it a cheapie pg test you are doing or digital?

I am now on CD30 and guess what? Temp is still high...it's meant to drop just before AF. I am allowing myself just a teeny tiny bit of excitement! AF due wednesday so WILL NOT TEST until then!!!! Sorry to disappoint

LOL at the kitten post!

Angel, step away from the tests!

Carolyn, good luck!! Exciting times are here again!

I am fine thanks ladies, midwife says I did the right things over the weekend and to let her know ASAP if it starts again. I am to keep my scan for Thursday. I definately have no plans to do more than the bare minimum around the house right now, with lots of breaks and resting in between. I am very excited to have made it is 12 weeks though! Woohoo!

No - we stopped after 30 March cos of Oz! FF did say it was a fertile day so either a) am pregnant but just not showing up on tests yet or b) not pregnant and AF just late! Aagghh!! Is confusing as only 3rd cycle off pill and my first 2 cycles were both dead on 28 days and I always used to be quite regular. Apparently it can take some women ages to get a HPK to show up +ve, but I will I will I will keep a steady head! Been using cheapo Boots ones but (ssshh, don't tell Willmouse) - got a digital one this morning as well. That little egg timer thing is so dramatic!

Oh oh Carolyn - am excited for you! Everyone here shows so much constraint (I know, I know ... for good reason). If you were a RL friend I would have dragged you off to the toilets by now! Good luck for Wednesday anyway - make sure you log on right afterwards.

Anyway am off home now - chat tomorrow everyone!

Hi everyone,

Ooh, it's the exciting time of the month again.....keeping fingers crossed for both Angel and Carolyn.....baby dust coming your way Soosy, some for you too, hope the FET is successful *

Is anybody else testing soon? Here's some for everyone!

We had a successful kitchen day on Saturday, we managed to pick one we both like, which is amazing as we have totally different tastes (DH's tastes are more expensive, and when he realised his choice was way over budget he came round to my way of thinking!!) We're having someone round next week to measure up, and show us one of those computer images so we can see what it looks like. We're not actually getting it done until I'm on summer hols, but we need to get planning now, otherwise we will never do anything about it!!

Hope everyone has had a good Monday! At last the weather seems to be on the turn!!

AF the witch has arrived

sob

{{{hugs CE}}}}} - oh you were so positive as well! for you too.

Angel - keeping fingers crossed for you

Juanitad - good news about the kitchen!

HM2J - how are you today? 12 weeks! Wow fingers crossed for Thur.

Willmouse - sounds like the kitten is a handful

No news here - cd 27 - a little brown spotting but feel like AF is on the way though. Just keep waiting

Hi to everyone else!

xx

oh no Chocolate Eclair. How disappointing. Chocolate and wine are in order.

Angel you never know, there is still a chance of a BFP. Thanks for the offer of copies of missed tv shows. We managed to watch it in Iplayer last night so have caught up now!

HM2J glad all seems well. Not long til your scan how exciting.

Willmouse the kitten sounds challenging.

Hello everyone else.

I feel soooooooo tired it is awful. Had to tell my parents when we stayed for a few days. I had no choice really as we usually drink lots of wine there and my mum was giving us smoked salmon for a starter.They think we are mad to want a third. My mum said 'was it planned?' Despite thinking we are crazy they are really excited, which is exactly why I did not want to tell them when I am not feeling very confident myself.

Have added myself to the list

Myjobismum ? 15w4days (due 5 Oct 2008)
Heartmum2Jamie - 11w+4D (Due 3rd Nov-ish)
Juanitad - 9 1/2 weeks pg (Due 19th Novish)
Ceebee74 ? 8 weeks pg (due 26 Nov 2008)
Majormoo- about 7 weeks pregnant (fingers crossed) due c.7th December
belgianbun - cycle 5 ttc # 2 (dd1 2.5mths) cd 15
chocolateeclair (carolyn) - cycle 3 ttc#1 CD29
HumphreysCorner - TTC No3 starting 1st May (DD1 4 yrs 9 mths & DD2 21 mths) CD 16
Bellie - cycle 16 ttc no2 (dd 3.6months)cd 25
Willmouse - cycle 7 ttc # 3 (ds1 4 years 9 months ds2 2 years and half a month)
Soosy - ttc no2 5th IVF cycle, Pt 2 (FET)! , DS 3yrs 3months CD8
Angel - cycle 3 ttc#
luvingtinkerbell-cycle2 ttc#2 (dd2 2.5 years) cd30

thanks ladies. It's good to be able to let some steam off on here as noone in RL knows we are ttc. I'm going to start taking the Agnus Castus tomorrow.

Majormoo - are you a little excited yet? Your parents sound quite surprised but obviously chuffed to bits for you!

Bellie/Angel - my money is on at least one of you two! I have everything crossed for you both

Juanitad - kitchen sounds great! It will be lovely to have a spangly new kitchen and a spangly new baby too! What is it going to be like? (the kitchen not the baby!)

H2MJ - glad you are feeling better, and good luck for your scan. (very excited)

Carolyn, really sorry that AF arrived, but well done for not testing too early - now you just have to face this disappointment once, whereas if you had already tested by now you would have had the disappointment of a BFN and then the second disappointment of AF arriving. In the months before I got pg, when I got BFNs, I still held out hope that maybe AF wouldn't arrive and that the BFNs would turn to BFPs, so when that didn't happen I was mightily pissed off. I know it will be your turn soon, but I also know how frustrating it is waiting!! Really hope you are feeling ok. Babydust for you for next cycle....... ***

Angel and Bellie, fingers crossed for both of you now!

By the way, for those asking, the kitchen is going to be fairly simple. Wooden doors, quite modern looking, but not like something you would see in a trendy loft conversion (I've never been anything close to trendy in my life!) The wood is a nice warm colour, with a pinky tinge to it.....that doesn't sound as nice as it looks. Anyway, it will be so nice to have nice new things, our current kitchen is falling apart at the seams, and is covered in cat hair! Yuk! Talking of cats, pictures of the kitten would be good as soon as you get the chance wilmouse!!

Evening everyone.

HM2J ? glad everything seems to be ok now and I hope you are sat with your feet up ? you did the right thing getting it checked out.

CE ? so sorry that AF showed up . You need a lovely big glass of wine and some chocs and then get back on that TTC rollercoaster.

Bellie/Angel ? keeping everything crossed for you ? sending you lots of baby vibes!

Willmouse ? lol at your kitten ? we need a photo of the adorable bundle ? I bet DS1 is over the moon. Does he have a name (the kitten ? not your DS )

Majormoo ? lol at your parents asking if it was planned ? that was exactly what my boss said when I told her ? like it is any of their business and why is that even important???

Yesterday was fab at the zoo ? wandered round for over 6 hours so you can imagine how shattered I was by the end! Was pretty cold aswell but the animals made up for it ? DS?s favourite part though was the monorail . Everytime it went overhead, he got very very excited so we had to go on it in the end.

Also, just to make you smile ? funny story about today. Me, DH and DS went shopping to the local retail park this morning. After about an hour, DH noticed that DS?s pants were wet all the way down one leg ? he had only been dressed for a couple of hours so it seemed strange that his nappy had leaked. Anyway, I said to DH his nappy must not be on properly to have leaked so much so DH had a look.................only to find that DS didn?t have a nappy on at all! DH had completely forgotten to put a nappy on when he had got him dressed ? I thought it was hilarious but it could have been so much worse ? it doesn?t bear thinking about what it would have been like if he had had a poo

Hello everyone, Congrats HM2j making it to 12 weeks, good luck on Thurs.

LOL about the kitten! I want to see too.

Bellie, keeping my fingers crossed for implantation bleed.

Sorry to hear about BFN CE.

Hello to everyone else including angel - thanks for the baby dust.

Had 2nd scan today, My uterine lining is a bit too thin, so if it doesn't fatten up significantly by wednesday we are going to call the whole thing off. Which is not what I want to do as I have got myself all - well you know! So I need some uterine lining fattening up dust please ladies! I have acupuncture tomorrow and I have been listening to my fertility hypnotherapy cd - which I hope helps. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

oops its thank you Juanitad for the baby dust!
