Hi Chubbymummy - you are most welcome here!

Ceebee (I think) will be able tell you where to get cheap ovulation predictor sticks from ebay - they worked for her!

Hope the cushion worked! (I have been known to do this myself!)

Hi and welcome chubbymummy-lol at the bum on the cushion bit. Done that and got the t-shirt. Lots of luck but deffo don't spend all that on OV sticks. Try here You can mix and match and you don't have to buy 50 as she has a listing for 25 as well.

Welcome Chubbymummy - I see HC has kindly provided the link for the OV sticks - they are much much cheaper than in the shops so well worth buying. Lol at bum on cushion - again, been there and done that

Angel - have posted the sticks to you today first class (sorry for the delay but was actually waiting to see if you still needed them )

Hi to everyone else - this is just a quickie as meant to be working.

Have got a cold now on top of the ms so happy days in the Ceebee household at the mo.

Was it just me who thought the Apprentice was pretty rubbish last night - they all seem quite competent now so there are no glaring muppets or obvious candidates for firing - although that Irish Jennifer is SCARY! I loved it at the end when she was back at the house and saying that Siralan had said she was cold - you could almost see the tumbleweed rolling round the house in the deathly silence that followed

Ceebee - you are right the apprentice wasn't up to scratch last night. I must admit I can't believe that Lucinda's team didn't win! I think they are the most dislikable bunch - there isn't a single one who I would like to win.

the witch got me.
also really bad day today as my baby that I lost would have been 1 today so feeling really down.

Will try and cheer up and come back laterxx

Sorry to hear about your baby Bellie . I can't imagine how sad you feel.

{{hugs}} Bellie. See you later.

Bellie - so sorry AF arrived and what bad timing for today. Put your feet up, treat yourself to some chocolate and hope you feel better soon.

Wow thanks HC those are much, much cheaper. Do you have a link for pregnancy tests too, I spent a fortune on those last month as well!!!!!!!! (Although if I had a bit of patience and waited until AF was actually due instead of testing practically as soon as my bum was off the cussion I would have saved myself a packet).
Thinking of you Bellie {{{{}}}}}

Hi all

Ceebee thanks so much for posting the sticks - you're a gem!

Chubbymummy - welcome and good luck with the BD! I'm going to get my pregnancy tests off eBay this month too - I'll post the link when I find it!

Bellie - so sorry about AF and the bad memories of today. I don't really know what happened but I do hope you are okay

I sorted things out with DP last night/this morning. I did get a lecture from him (and my best mate) on my temper though. Now feeling very

xxx

Oh I think you can ask the woman to just send you pregnancy tests.

Bellie, I am so sorry the witch got you and of your memories of this day. Hugs

Welcome Chubbymummy! Good luck with the ov sticks and the pillow, it worked with my ds2!

Ceebee, sorry you are feeling so rubbish, I hope the ms & cold pass soon.

I had my 12 week scan today, which I attended with a certain amoutn of trepidation due to some more spotting last night. Baby looked great, was a little wriggler, but not bouncing around, I think he/she would have quite liked to go to sleep! Baby is measuring 5 days ahead, making me 13+1 with an EDD of 29th October. As for the spotting, there is a small area of blood just behind the baby, which may also come out in spotting/bleeding, or may be reabsorbed. I really hope that once this spotting fully clears that is the end of it, it is nerve wracking which can't be good for me or the baby. They did say if I was at all concerned, I could go back and they would have another look. The measured the nuchal folod, but didn't tell me what it was as said I was just out of the ideal age range for it anyway. Either way, I am totally in love

Piccies are in my profile!

Heartmum-am chuffed to bits for you. Lovely pics. Hope the spotting stops.

So sorry about your bad day Bellie. Hugs

Good news H2MJ

No news buyer mucking us about with the house, but we did have another viewing today which apparently is promising, so hopefully something will work out.

Hello Chubby mummy LOL about cushion. I used to just lie with my legs in the air - didn't work though.

HC are you going to starve yourself for a girl? (I hope I hae remembered right and its not a boy you are after!) saw these articles in the papers!

Watching greys anatomy tonight medical drama addiction! Yes and House, Hugh Laurie is one of my weird crushes!

hi ladies

HM2J - great piccies! Looks like a lovely fat little beanie! You must be over the moon! Hope you're going to try and relax now, although easier said than done I realise!....and you're more than 1/3 of the way there!!!!

Chubbymummy - welcome! (to the madhouse!)

ceebee - hope you're feeling better! MS and a cold that's rubbish!

Bellie - so sorry that you're having a rough day. Big hugs to you ((((( )))))) She is a total witch though isn't she?

Hello to angel, majormoo, HC, BB etc. Hope you are all ok!

I have had a great 11 hour day! . Our school was not closed and we were interviewing for our new head, plus Year 8 parents evening for 2 1/2 hours! I have just got in!!!

CE

soosy-we would like a boy and one of my PN thread ladies said it is a banana and bacon diet to get a boy but I don't know if it is the man or the woman who has to indulge. Bananas don't like me and bacon is too calorific for my eating plan.

CE-blimey, that was a long day. Bet you are shattered. Our school was open as normal today.

evening all
Thinking of you Bellie-what a horrible day
HM2J glad your scan went well
Welcome Chubbymummy
Angel good luck with next month then
HC you apparently need to have cereal for breakfast for a boy (when conceiving DD I was terrible at rushing to work and not having breakfast-just a coffee. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I started eating breakfast every day and now could not start the day without it. So when conceiving DS would have been having cereal for breakfast-probably just random chance though.

Enjoy maternity shopping Juanitad. Can't remember where you live but Topshop at Oxford Circus has a maternity shop.

Yes the Apprentice was not quite up to scratch. Most of the women are vile. I do like Rafe (not sure how you spell it) though.

DDs school was shut today but luckily MIL came over to help entertain the kids. I felt terrible all day.

Hi to everyone else

Right off to bed

Hi to everyone else

whoops -sorry for repetition!

Thanks for all your kind words and thoughts. I had no idea that yesterday was going to hit me as hard as it did - blame PMT and the disappointment of yet another af.

Trying to look on the positive, I have managed to book my second scan to look at the uterus/ovaries so then I will have completed all the tests before I can go back and see the consultant. We also decided last night to try and get an earlier appointment with the consultant rather than wait until July.

HM2J - glad you scan went well

Welcome to chubbymummy - hope you are enjoying being here!

Majormoo - sorry you were feeling terrible all day - is it still ms? Have you been to the docs yet?

CE - any news your side? Have you stil resisited testing again?

HC - breakfast seems to be the latest way of getting a boy - think that you have to bd too though !

Willmouse hope the kitten is settling down.

Wave and big hi to everyone else!

Bellie-glad you are feeling more positive today. I have always eaten breakfast, never missed a day (well apart from sicky bugs) since I was born. Slight snag with the having to BD bit though.

majormoo-hope you feel better today.

Waves to everyone else.

Hi ladies,

Hope you're all OK today.

Just a quick post to say that AF arrived this morning, 2 days late. We are both absolutely gutted. We really thought we had done it aswell. Going out for the evening to try and take our minds off ttc for a short while.

Will come back soon

CE xxx

Oh CE - {{hugs}}

Oh CE - so very sorry. I thought it was looking positive for you aswell - have a large glass of wine to cheer yourself up.

oh CE sorry-how disappointing. Hope you have a good night out.

Glad your scan is booked Bellie.

Soosy hope next month your lining is thick enough.

Feeling a bit better today thanks. Also very proud of DD as she won an art competition at school (well 3 kids from each year group won) to paint a local cafe. I will be buying 400 copies of the local paper as their picture should be in it!
