wow - they are gorgeous flowers ce. What a wonderful and thoughtful dh.
Glad to hear than you had a restful afternoon.

I'm fine hope everyone else is too!

A holiday is definitely a good idea CE, and just think, it's only 5 weeks till we break up for that wonderful thing called summer holidays. I'm sure what you're going through could never happen at a good time, but at least it's not the stressful run-up to the exams or that never-ending Christmas term which might make you feel worse! It'll be lovely for you and DP to have a bit of relaxin time out together. Where were you thinking you might go? Are you active holiday types or chilling on the beach catching the rays? Tell us when you book somewhere. After last year's mammoth holiday ( we went to Las Vegas and got married! Then went to San Francisco, then Mexico - it cose a fortune!) we can't really afford a holiday this year, so will just be having a weekend in a friend's cottage in the Lake District. Still, I'm really looking forward to it as I've never been to the Lake District.

A day eating choc and wine gums sounds like a good way of recuperating. I'm glad you've not gone back in yet. I'm sure the staff will be really tactful when you get back and at least the kids didn't know, as they sometimes can put their foot in it!

Anyway, sorry I've not been around too much recently - I've been reading the thread every day, but sometimes I feel like a fraud on here as this is a TTC thread, although it's my favourite thread and I don't want to leave. But sometimes I keep a bit of a low profile.

Hope everyone else is well, good to see you BB, hope TTC isn't doing your head in too much. It's all a bit of a head f**k isn't it? Sorry to swear!

Hi there, just a quickie to pop in and see how everyone is, esp you CE, have been thinking about you. Again, just have to say you are being amazingly strong and positive. xx

BB, nice to see you. I totally understand if this is all doing your head in - I'm with you on that. If I wasn't so busy with work I'd be in the loony bin by now.

Juanita, nice to see you, you're not a fraud at all! It's lovely with a mixture of people at various stages = more good advice around!

ChocEclair-how thoughtful of your DP as he will be hurting too. A break away is just what you need to recharge your batteries.

Agree-this thread is for everyone.

Think I am next to test starting on Thursday at 10DPO Then it will be willmouse (I think).

ceebee-have just watched Lost that I downloaded. The episode that ends with Ben talking to Jack in the funeral parlour-is that the last one? Also, was that Locke pretending to be Jeremy Bentham???

Love to all. No Holby tonight so nothing on until Big Brother. Have not slept for several nights now so feel tired but wide awake as soon as I lay down.

CE - gosh those flowers are just gorgeous - your DP is a good'un. Agree a holiday is probably just what you need

BB - I think we have all been there and done that with our DH/DP's moaning about TTC - not helpful at all is it??

HC - yes that was the last episode and it was Locke - not sure where the Jeremy Bentham thing came from but I am sure all will be revealed. Did you see Sawyer come out of the sea????

Juanitad - please visit us more often - I had noticed that you hadn't been posting as often but I honestly believe this thread has become so much more than a TTC thread - I definitely prefer it to our ante-natal thread.

Right off to bed - early night for me!

x

morning all

BB - so glad you are back posting again. I too know exactly what you mean about the struggles to get the BDing in at the right time! The ttc was totally doing my head in, but strangely I am now quite looking forward to trying again. I did have a little talk with DP about this last night and sort of think he would like to wait a while, but he might be OK in a few weeks I hope.

Juanitad - I agree with ceebee and HC. This thread really is for everyone and is sooooo much more than a ttc thread. It wouldn't have survived this long if it was only about that!

HC - so you will test thursday!!! Are you excited? I am excited on your behalf . Good luck!

Mandy - thanks for saying nice things. I am trying to be positive, as it's the only way I know how to be tbh. Life tends to chuck stuff at us sometimes and you just have to get on with it. I am very upset still, don't get me wrong, but also trying to look forwards.

I am going to look at some more holidays today. We had a beach holiday in Marmaris, Turkey last summer and it was lovely, so might try to find something similar. Apart from that I think I will watch Jeremy Vile! as I don't normally watch such rubbish and I HATE that man wth a passion, but it fills in the morning quite well! I'm going back to work tomorrow definetly - need to be a bit normal for a few days.

Hi to all xx

Hi there, I hope everyone?s having an OK day.

BB, it?s brave of you to bring up the lust issue/?must-have-sex-stress?, or what to call it. I?m sorry about the rowing. This was one of my worries; getting DH on to the ?having to do it on certain days?-thinking and what that can do to the relationship (his libido has always fluctuated more than mine), but he?s been OK so far.
Fingers crossed for you both. x

CE, I hope going back to work tomorrow is the right thing for you. Enjoy looking at holidays & crap telly - sometimes it's just what you need. x

HC that is really exciting!! Fingers crossed for you.

I'm on CD 4 & gearing up for the next BD Fest 2008 (Summer of Love): 27/6 - 1-/7 or so - got new OPK, fake tan & some cheap tarty nighties Whatever works, yes?

CE: I am so terribly sorry hon, I haven't been on for a few days. Your dp sounds like a gem though and the flowers are beautiful. HUGS

Mandy: good luck with the BD fest!

Hi to everyone else! Sorry, I really don't have time to catch up properly as I am supposed to be cleaning, washing and packing ready for our hols on Saturday. The big problem I have is that A) I have no tumbledrier yet (blew up about 4 months ago) so washing is going very slow and I don't have many clothes that actually fit )today I am wearing normal jeans with an elastic band holding them together and a t-shirt of dh's. Plus the weather is meant to be a real mixed bag, so means I will have to pack twice as many clothes...grrr! Remind me to take my hols abroad next year.

I doubt very much I will make it back to the boards before we leave, so I hope you all have a great 10 days or so and hope to hear some good stuff from some of you when I get back, even if it is just "bd'ing went well, feeling hopeful" ect.

really sorry to hear your news CE. I haven't been on for a couple of days. Sounds like your DH is taking good care of you. As others have said take it easy-it takes some time to come to terms with. I would say at about 6 weeks it can be really tough as people (including yourself) kind of expect you to be over it.

Hi to everyone else. Good to hear from you BB. Soosy hope you are doing OK

ChocEclair-one thing that kept me going was the planning to TTC again even though we were advised to wait a bit. We waited until the first AF following the MC. Your DP will come round to the idea. Will be thinking of you tomorrow when you are back at work-not easy, that first day. Yup, am testing tomorrow for a laugh.

ceebee-I did see Sawyer coming out of the water. Still doesn't compare to my man fighting the rambo guy. Have to say that I prefer Sayid with his curly hair rather than back in civvy street all coiffured. Ew!

All those going on their jollies have a fab time. DD1 gone to tea at this girl from school's house-only met the mum tonight. DD2 is missing her and I'm on tenterhooks until she is dropped home at 6-30pm.

HC - what age is your dd1? I dread the day that dd is asked out for tea on her own! Not sure what I am going to say!

CE - hope you enjoyed your day of trashy tv and that work goes ok tomorrow.

We have been to dd's sports day today - it was so cute to see them running and doing the egg and spoon. (proud mummy alert dd came first in 2 races!!)

Hope you have good hols those that are going away.

Will be on tomorrow to see the results of the testing xx

Bellie-DD1 is 4 (5 in July) and I am dreading it even though she is already there. The mum has an older boy so is used to it. I'm not!

HC you will get used to it. I love it when my DD goes to other people for tea. Trouble is it is now my turn to have three children round for tea over the next couple of weeks.

Did not see Sawyer as unfortunately no Sky here, but cannot believe he did not look better than Said

Thanks for everyones comments - a bit torn about going back to work tomorrow. I need to get a little bit of normal back and it will take my mind off stuff, but feel quite nervous and worried I might not be able to look at people

Fingers crossed for HC and the testing!!!

sounds lovely having other kids over for tea and all that. I see what you mean about them growing up though. It's good that she isn't too shy to go without you I think - a confident young lady

I have been looking at hols again! DP says it is ok for us to go! Yey! So looking at Turkey again as we had such a fab time last year and it's really cheap!

Hi all,

Have made a resolution to post more on here! CE hope you are doing okay today and that work goes well tomorrow. I can understand you wanting to back to normal.

Yesterday at work, some kids finally twigged that I was preg and plucked up the courage to ask me (they made me promise not to shout at them before they would ask though!) so at least now word will spread and they'll know why I've been putting on a bit of chub!

Not impressed with the weather today - isn't it meant to be summer??!!!

How's everyone else doing today?

This might cheer you all up a little - DS decided he wanted one of my hairclips in this morning.

here is the evidence - how pretty does he look DH was not impressed and unfortunately wouldn't let me take him to nursery with it still in!

CE - good luck tomorrow and hope it all goes ok - will be thinking of you!

HM2J - have a fantastic holiday

HC - hope the testing goes well tomorrow

Hi to everyone else.

awww ceebee - he is adorable! How old is he? nearly 2? and the blond hair dark eyes combo is very sweet. He's going to break hearts you know!!!! (Did you tell us his name or do you keep it private on here?)

CE - thanks for your lovely comments - of course I think is absolutely adorable I also love his blond hair/dark eyes and really really hope it stays like that - however both me and DH have very dark brown hair so it is likely that in time, his will darken aswell I probably have told you his name and not bothered about keeping it secret - he is called Josh (or Jish if you ask him) and well spotted about his age - he is 2 in July! Sorry - just gone on then but I do love talking about him

Hello everyone, I am here, lurking for the moment, haven't decided what to do yet and have to make what's known as a follow up appointment.

I just really wanted to mention that we are at 920 posts and so should be looking for a new home!

Sx

HC - what's happened this morning

Ceebee - he is sooooo adorable!

soosy nice to see you on here with a very timely reminder!

CE - thinking of you today hope it goes ok.

Wave to everyone else

Hi all

Sorry I am a lurker these days too, trying not to get obsessed with the whole TTC thing and get on with other stuff. Also difficult with colleague constantly peeking at my machine cos she knows we are TTC and is so nosey ...!

But just to say CE, I have logged on just this morning and am so upset to hear your news. I feel so upset for you and I hope you are okay. But you seem to be coping well and your DH is a gem. I have read actually that MC are really common, but no-one talks about them, I think it's something like 1 in 4 and as you say, at least you know you can get preggers. Hope work is okay today. Chin up and we are all thinking of you.

Lots of love and hi to everyone else.

PS I am going to name-change as colleague keeps calling me "Angel" (as in "darling" etc - think she might be stalking me?!)

Morning all

BFN as expected but my temp has risen-got to be a good thing hasn't it? Boobs still hurting.

Angel-lovely to hear from you. You are so right about MC's being common. I thought it was rare and later on found that most of the people I know have had one. Unlike me they never talk about it. I think you should talk about it.

ceebee-gorgeous boy!

DH suffering with hayfever so up at dawn this morning. I laid there until temp taking time. So managed to chop all ingredients for spag bol and put one lot of fairy cake mixture in the cases and make up some choc bun mixture.

Ebay and DH stressing me out as we have sold 2 collect items which will be collected from DH's work. Man wants to collect today but of course DH hasn't taken them as I have only just read the E-Mail. DH thinks I'm being funny that I won't let him collect from here. I do not want a strange man coming to my home when I am on my own. Men!!!!

Must get on with my cakes and spag bol.

Love to all especially ChocEclair on her return to work.

Well hello Baileymist. AF not due until next Weds lol! However, I do seem to have lots of symptoms but I'll bet it is my evil body playing tricks on me. My DH thinks I should be like him but I am a bit of a scaredy cat-perhaps that is why I was so rubbish at selling. Too scared to ring anyone up.

soosy-nice to see you. What will happen at your follow up appointment? Hope something can happen for you both.

Now dreading getting an E-Mail from this Ebayer. There I go again...........
