Night Nat,

I'm waiting for my curry.

Diege · 04/05/2008 19:51

Hi Nat! Glad you've recovered your taste for lamb. Also waiting for curry here Kay, butter chicken with bombay potato and a naan bread. Yum!

calsworld · 04/05/2008 20:00

Hi all, I had a really, really long bath and feel a bit less crampy now. I cooked a beef stew earlier today and DH is just heading off to dish a bowl up and serve it with a pitta...both too tired to bother doing anything else.

I think its a bit early for testing NJ, and only have one in stock at the moment, so don't want to waste it...I'd wait until AF was late but as I have no idea when that is, I'm open to sensible suggestions.

calsworld · 04/05/2008 20:01

mmmm butter chicken and bombay potato....makes my dinner look like a poor mans alternative!!

tinkiswaiting · 04/05/2008 20:11

diege i ovulated a week yesterday on cd36 wouldnt that be too late for ovulation bleeding
thanks nj crossing my fingers

Moosma · 04/05/2008 20:23

Evening all, I tested this afternoon and got another BFN...... I think! If I squinted at it really hard I could almost make out a + but if it's a BFP it's only supposed to be a | so I think I must've been imagining it

I'm in a bit of a pickle here, going by CP I OVd on CD24 - CP was SHOW (as mentioned in Cals earlier post) and has been low and nose-like ever since. Today I'm on CD53, so either far enough along to get a proper strong BFP or I didn't OV at all and am now lost in a really long cycle. I almost want to go to the dr but I know s/he'll just tell me to go away and wait so it's pointless really. Oh how I wish I was see-through and I could have a look and see what's going on

There you go NJ, now you're not cheif moaner

Cal, hope you're feeling better soon and I'd give it a week so you're at least 10dpo, then order some more tests!!

calsworld · 04/05/2008 20:47

Moosma, sounds like a good sensible plan to me, except I'm not sure when I OV'd...I guess if I test 10 days from when I think I could have OV'd and see how it goes from there.

CD53, blimey Moosma - that's going some, but still possible not to have a BFP, its never over till AF arrives .

Anyway, you should know better than to test in the afternoon - FMU for you next time you test!

am wondering if perhaps tummy ache is constipation I guess I'll probably know by the end of tomorrow!!

Got no plans for tomorrow at all, probably a bit of tidying up to be done, DS has scattered the contents of my coppers pot all over the lounge floor, then added in some shredded paper tissues for good effect. Its amazing how one little boy can create so much havoc!

DH has just brought me an icecream - that must have been well hidden or I would have found it last night!! Off too watch film, g'night!

Diege · 04/05/2008 21:14

Agree with Cal, moosma, that is some cycle! Ditto when you'd get a BFP - must be tough not knowing where you are etc though.
Tinks, meant implantation bleed, not ovulation .
Indian was lovely, but a bit 'hot'; trying to get into 'Flood' on ITV1, so probably speak tomorrow now x

tinkishopeful · 05/05/2008 07:33

hi ladies

kayzisexpecting · 05/05/2008 08:42

Morning!!

I slept all night!! It was so lovely and I feel great this morning.

We're trying to find something to do today as it's quite nice. Might try and persuade mum to take us to the beach.

What are you lot doing today?

tinkishopeful · 05/05/2008 08:47

morning kay glad that got lots of slept
not doin much here wet and dh working this morning 4 extra money

kayzisexpecting · 05/05/2008 08:50

Mum wont take us to the beach. They are finishing the bathroom. They are extending their house. Have a look its actually really nice.

We might get the bus there and have some fun at the beach.

tinkishopeful · 05/05/2008 09:33

thats lovely kay
think we will just walk around town got new ladybird backpack plus reins other is great will use it in town

Diege · 05/05/2008 10:07

Morning . Love your mum's house Kay, great website too! Beach dounds good - they must have buses on even on BH? Hi TINKS, still looking hopeful then! Next week will be an exciting one for you (and others on this thread!).
Well I'm shattered. 4th night in the row now that dd3 has woken up in the night, 3, 4 times. She actually only woke once last night (at 3.17am )but I have the sort of insomia that once I wake up whatever the time I can't get back to sleep. And when I get sleepy-ish of course it's time to get up! dh is always v.unsympathetic and can't understand why I can't just get back to sleep. So hoping to take it as easy as you can when dds at home!
Anyone see 'Flood' last night? We both sniggered all the way through at the appalling acting and script, but hey will have to watch the second part tonight

NatalieJane · 05/05/2008 11:38

Hello, once again not here, I am actually sorting the cupboards out in our room, DH has taken the boys to the park, so thought I'd nip on!

Kay, your mum's house looks lovely - well it will do!! That is one big extention!!

Tink hoorahhhhh for high temp It is looking very good

Moos, even a squinty BFP is something to get excited about, test first thing tomorrow with a FR, - fingers crossed

I am hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee again, it is by far the worst bit of pregnancy, at least unlike last time, I am not worried that it is twins! Goona ring the docs tomorrow, fingers crossed they will book me a scan!

Oh and I still haven't heard anything from the stupid bitch () woman who sold us the slide. If still nothing by the morning we are going to up it properly so PayPal will get involved. Bang goes £15! And even then there is no saying she'll have the money in her account so we probably will be down the £67 we paid for it, plus the return p&p grrrrrrrrrrr I am never ever ever ever using eBay again unless it is from a shop on there, we mostly only ever bought from shops anyway, but never again am I using a private seller.

Right back to the slog.....!

Someone bloody test will ya?!!! xxx

NatalieJane · 05/05/2008 11:39

Oh Diege, forgot to say, we watched it, well, DH did, I fell asleep, but the first 5 minutes was enough to show me that it wasn't exactly an award winner!!

tinkishopeful · 05/05/2008 11:44

thanks nj grr @ ebay seller
hooray for the huge tummy

Diege · 05/05/2008 12:27

Can't believe your e-bay seller Nat . Hopefully she'll get a well-deserved strike from E-bay!, and you'll get your money back. What a cheek .
So did you buy maternity clothes?? One of the bext bits of being pregnant I say!
Oh and you know that food MIL brought? Well, seems like it's all past the sell-buy date, and the pasta dishes have mould on them . Was strangely satisfied telling dh I have to say

tinkishopeful · 05/05/2008 12:43

my abdomen feels tight, fluttery and bubbly,is pulling and twingy very strange.
still have gross spotty neck, always cold inside and headachey

calsworld · 05/05/2008 14:07

Tink, when are you going to test? You have all these symptoms....

DS in bed, DH gone to buy some 'extras' so he can do a poncey roast gammon.

Me, I'm going to have some mum time and do some jobs I've been wanting to do for ages (queue DS waking in 5 mins no doubt!)..

Catch you all later.

Squack · 05/05/2008 14:32

Yes Tink I agree, I would say with all your symptoms you should test, it's bound to be positive
Good luck!

I think I'm going to come on tomorrow, just feels like it iykwim.

Diege · 05/05/2008 14:48

Agree Tinks, you must test!
Cals, sounds like a nice relaxing day . dh is also out getting 'bits' with dd1, while I supervise the dreaded crafts!
Squack, also feel af will arrive any momne there (it's expected, no full explosions this month!). Still hopeful for you as pre-af feelings are never stronger as when af is due in my experience! Also, have I imagined it or are you also ttc no.4?

kayzisexpecting · 05/05/2008 15:02

Hello,

Mum hasn't updated the website in a while as the house is nearly finshed now.

We didn't go to the beach as the buses are bloody stupid. The first bus was at half 11 which would get us there at half 12 and the buses back are at half 3 and half 5 so we just went to the soft play centre which was dead so DS got the full run of the place with no one else there.

I am very tired though now. I've had quite a few people today saying I look like I am getting a bump but neither DH or me can see it.

Diege · 05/05/2008 16:33

Know what you mean about the buses Kay - same here. We thought about heading into town, but same sort of timetable!
BB, sounds a great day . Lucky you having the week off; any plans or just a relaxing one?
Back from walk, and getting tea ready etc. Determined to fit in another 'Davina'; I really niticed the difference to mood etc after doing it yesterday. Seems moon ago that I actually taught aerobics would you believe ; now I find it hard to even think about exercising!
