Hello ladies,

I would like to say thank you for all your kind words and for being concerned about me for the last week. I have read the whole thread (every post!) just now and am happy to be back. It has meant a lot to me, especially what Juanita put. I cannot really explain why I couldn?t come on here. Finding it hard to put into words, but basically we thought for 48 hours that we were pg and ........well you can all understand the rest. Today is CD7, it?s a new month and we are moving on.

BB ? CD1 and means that AF has arrived. Very very very sorry and for you. I am thinking about you lots. Keep your chin up and remember that your time will come. Hopefully this month.

MJIM ? glad you had a lovely holiday and have got some nice ?family memories? to cherish. Very interesting reading about the dry nights with ds. Hopefully he is not too disheartened by last night. Sorry you have yet another cold!

HM2J ? cannot believe how pg you are! Time has flown by. Sounds like your appointment went well and hoping you are not worrying too much now. Sounds like you might get somewhere with your DSs cardio doctor to help put your mind at ease

HC ? have you started ttc then? And are you eating bacon and bananas after all? You must be very excited! LOL about having to BD in a caravan with the DDs in bunkbeds next door and cardboards walls!

Juanitad ? truly exciting buying maternity clothes! And not long to wait til your first scan! Have you told many people at work yet? Thanks again for what you put. It was really sweet

Angel ? hope this month has started well for you. Fingers crossed that at least someone is pg by the end of May! Hope you are feeling a little more sorted re your cycle now

Majormoo ? rubbish news about your scan. Surely the NHS can do better than that! I would keep pestering and constantly ring to check for cancellations. They might get fed up and find you one!

Bellie ? good news about your scan of uterus. That sounds pretty positive doesn?t it? Think going private might help you feel like things are moving faster, if you don?t worry too much about the cost. Good luck with your mortgage. I did mine last month and have gone onto 3 yr fixed rate to help with budgeting when baby is around!

Soosy ? sorry you are having such a hard time with the house move. It must be really stressful. Hope your ds is being cute and lovely again after his tantrums of last week. Fingers crossed for next months lining check!

Ceebee ? all going well for you by the sounds of it! DPs sister and husband go to see Chelsea and are massive fans too. They are PRETTY pleased today! Hope the pg is going as well!

Hope I haven?t missed anyone, and sorry it?s soooooo long , but it is a WEEKS worth of posts!

BB - sorry to hear of AF
CE - great to have you back - I know what you mean - sometimes you need a break from talking about it at all. Glad to hear that you are OK and remaining positive.

Got a mortgage! A Tracker at 0.48 above Bank of England rate - hopefully the rate will go down again and we will not be far off where we are now! It is really scary at the moment. Hope we have done the right thing! Also took advantage of dh being home and dd being at nursery

Hooray CE - you're back!! I don't blame you at all for staying away from here for a while, just to get your head together, but it's great to see you back and feeling positive again.

BB, sorry to hear that this wasn't your month, but glad that you are feeling positive too.

May is going to be a big month for this thread, I can just tell!!

Evening all

Blimey, this migraine is refusing to bugger off-day 4 of it tomorrow so hoping it will be much improved.

MJIM-how very sad about the lady on your Oct thread. Her first baby too. Your DS has done very well with being dry and is bound to have some accidents. DD1 was well over 3 before she went through the night but still had the odd accident.

belgianbun-how disappointing for you that AF showed. CD1 so you'll soon be ready for action again.

CE-so glad to see you back. I so understand how you feel. {{hugs}}

Bellie-sounds like you have got a good Mortgage deal. And had a good afternoon too. Oh, and a promising scan.

soosy-what a rotten time you are having Enjoy the hotel-you deserve it! Myjobismum ? 15w4days (due 5 Oct 2008)

Good to have the stats updated. AF is due today-FF thinks my luteal phase is long and as I have passed my usual phase it said 'You may test, you may be pregnant' What a larf.

Anyway, my head is thumping so hi to everyone else.

MJIM is mum sorry for you are having a rubbish week. What sad news about the lady on your thread. When these things happen to you god do they change your life.

HM2J it is so hard not to worry I know but try not to (ha- as if I could follow my own advice)

BB shame AF arrived but good you aren't feeling too disappointed.

CE nice to see you back and raring to go.

HC hope the migraine clears up so you get down to business for 'Day 1 in the HC house'

Wilmouse sorry I spoilt the Apprentice for you. Will be more careful next week. Ceebee yes he was rubbish although evil Jenny was worse. Hope you are still on a high following the footie.

Bellie well the scan sounds like good news. And also good the mortgage is sorted. We are on a good fixed rate at the moment so dreading when it runs out. Really annoys me that despite the credit crunch, fuel bills, world food costs, higher utility bills, redundancies on a mass scale in the city, still I get endless adverts from banks trying to get me to take out huge loans that I don't need. grrr -rant over.

With my usual decisiveness have done nothing about my scan yet, other than get worked up about it.

apologies re the nonsense of my first sentence below!

BB, I am sorry that AF showed

CE, good to see you back!

MJIM, lots of rest and fluids. Sorry to hear about the lower wages (we had that suprise this month as well) and only having 1 day off together.

Bellie, the scan sounds pretty good to me. I hope you got a good mortgage deal!

Majormoo, lol at your decisiveness, sounds like me, lol! I hope you can sort something out sooner though.

MJIM Sorry to hear about the lady on your OCt thread, I am watching Grey's Anatomy, well I won't go into the plot, except it is v sad, and my greatest fear as it happened to my neighbour.

Sorry BB about AF, I was really hoping.... Good Luck for May, maybe it will be our month.

Hello to everyone. Bellie good news on the mortgage!

HM2J you will be fine.

CE fab to hear from you and hoping next month.

Haven't updated because I have no idea what day I am on and not really thinking about it at the moment, but it has to be around CD23.

Update on the House, as things went a bit mad today...

We have had three offers, one which is higher than the others, agent has asked us to make a decision about what our next move is, he thinks he can push the offer higher, but it is a one hit wonder and it may backfire and we may have to go for a lesser offer if we lose. I have to decide how to go by tomorrow morning, i feel like i am juggling glass balls, so any advice would be welcome. The higher offer came after one viewing and was upped two or three hour later, it is obvious our agent wouldn't suggest this unless he had a good idea it would work..... Oh if any one is around late or early help me please, DH has left this in my hands oh how I hate that.....

Soosy - what a nightmare! What is the position of the bidders? e.g. are they first time buyers, have they sold etc. Regardless of the offer I would go with the one that has the 'safest' chain or is in the best position to move as quickly as possible for you. The highest bidder may not be able to move quickly or even sold their house and that is why they are tempting you with a high offer! It really is a minefield isn't it!

HM2J and MJIM I hope it is not to do with the tax changes too it really is a nightmare at the moment isn't it.

MJIM - hope your household is feeling better soon.

HC - hope your migrane has gone - nearly time for you to ttc!! Can't have migranes hanging around

majormoo - I know what you mean about the letters from loan companies! makes me angry too

Looks like better weather here today - hope it lasts for the bank holiday!

Morning all.

I will update the list:-

Majormoo- about 7 weeks pregnant (fingers crossed) due c.7th December
chocolateeclair (carolyn) - cycle 4 ttc#1 CD7
HumphreysCorner - TTC No3 starting 1st May (DD1 4 yrs 10 mths & DD2 22 mths) CD 28
Bellie - cycle 17 ttc no2 (dd 3.6months)cd 8
Willmouse - cycle 7 ttc # 3 (ds1 4 years 9 months ds2 2 years and half a month) CD28
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
littlemissdaisy - cycle 3 ttc#1 cd1
belgianbun - cycle 6 ttc # 2 (dd1 2yrs 6mths) cd 1

Soosy (depending on the £ difference between the offers) I would agree with Bellies advice and stick with the safest.

MJIM - hope the pay situation got sorted out. DH was told that he had to make increases to his pension from this month (he has no choice) so the pay rise were were expecting was a lot less than it should have been . Hope you sort it out. I thought that the changes in tax were counterbalanced by increases in child tax credit or whatever if you had children (but don't quote me on that I keep my head burried firmly in the sand wherever money is concerned!).

Bellie - good news on the mortgage front - sounds similar to ours. As we re-mortgaged in Feb ours has already come down ( v exciting in these times!).

CE - nice to have you back and glad you are feeling better about things. I think it is hard ttc #1 as you have spent so much time dedicated to using contraception that you think you are going to get pg the second you stop. The reality is somewhat different - it took me 12 months to conceive DS1 (which is why I am fairly relaxed). That said I am starting to worry now as I am on cycle 8 and as I suffer from heavy AF and know I have suffered endometriosis in the past I can't help but worry that I am going to have difficulty again. At least I still have time on my side atm.

Although I am on CD28 I think I have another week until AF is due so still waiting here. I hope I am lucky this month.

MJIM: No, in our case my hubby got NO commision last month, lol! His own darn fault that we are living off lower wages. Still, it is double what he would have picked up when things were at their worst, before he changed jobs, so we can make it work, it will just be a little tight. Typical that it happens in a month where we have ds1's 7th birthday and 2 bank holidays.

I am relieved this morning. I just had a letter from the clinical chemistry dept about the bloods I had done last week. I forgot about them, lol! They have a new screening for Down's here, they don't do the triple test at 16 weeks anymore. Instead they do bloods between 10+1 & supposedly 12+3 and check for Down's only. I was 13+1 but thankfully the letter says I am NOT in an increased risk group and I need no further screening for Down's. Phew! One less thing to worry about.

MJIM - Way - well done mini-mjob!!!!!! DS1 is dreadful on that score but hey ho. Sorry to hear another lady has lost a baby its dreadful news .Glad your DH's wages are almost sorted - at least it has taken the pressure off you all for now.

H2MJ - congratulations on the test result.

well I hope you are enjoying your weekend MJIM after all the anxiety over your DH's pay. How sad about the lady on your thread

Soosy guess you have made up your mind by now but Bellie's advice sounds sensible. Hope the people with the highest offer were also the safest bet!

HC hope the migraine has improved.

HM2J good news about the test results.

We have the Children's Parade tomorrow to mark the start of the Bighton Festival so big day for DD and her friends. DH is taking her in it (dressed in crazy glasses and a big red wig-glad it is not me) and I am going to watch. We usually go down to see it, but will be more fun this year now we know more children in the schools. Trouble is out of over 70 schools DDs is quite near the end so we will be hanging around for a while!

hello everyone!

Hope you are all ok and have fab plans for the bank holiday weekend!

We have just booked a campsite in Leek for Saturday night and are going walking then to Alton Towers on Sunday!

Hi everyone hope you are all off to have fab bank holiday weekends.

News on the house, majormoo was bang on and hopefully they will exchange in the next 2 weeks, they are quite keen as we do have other offers! So I feel much happier - just have to find a house!

MJIM Hope you have a good weekend and they sort out the pay .

HM2J glad the bloods were good .

Watching Dirty Sexy Money, with a glass of Red, tempted to
open DS's chocolate!
