Ahhh, look how nice and clean and new this thread is .

And there is a big ScaryHairy birthday cake for us all to share. I am not being good till after Thursday afterall...

Oh goodness i've got no idea about cycles yet. I have come off the pill and keeping my fingers crossed. Saying that I've already been on every website in the world telling me all about mittelschmerz ...what a name, what my cervix should feel like at differnt times. So I think the obsessions may be starting early!!!!!!! (shock)

damn where is my smiley!

Different brackets MarieCharlie [] not ()...

Morning all....feel a bit under the weather today. I keep waking up in the middle of the night. . I think I am coming down with something. AF due imminently and I am starting to get leg ache, which I usually do, so I will not be shocked if she shows her face .

Tomorrow should be D-Day....

Leg-ache? Poor Bucky.

Am glad to hear that the Kevin book is not Mis-lit. All that "Woe is me. Here's the gory detail of my appalling childhood" is not my idea of a nice beach read!

I read "The Interpretation of Murder" (by someone whose name I have forgotten) a couple of holidays ago and that was a good one. Also "The Savage Garden" (by an equally forgettably-named writer) was nice to read in the sun. Both are Richard and Judy Book Club books, but don't let that put you off GG!

I am on 12 dpo and my temp is still nice and high but I am trying very hard to avoid getting my hopes up. I certainly have no symptoms, I think.

Higs to all.

Guys! My lunch just made me gag!
It's a SIGN

Either that or it was gross Scary. No, I am sure it is a sign. I have been (.)(.) prodding all day and buckled under the pressure in Boots were I purchased a twinset of cheapie tests. As a opposed to just a twinset . Now I have to try not to take them....duh, how dumb am I????

MarieCharlie I so know the pain of checking out random sites about ttc!! Never thought I'd know so much about cervix, CM etc . I'd recommend Taking Charge of your Fertility, it's very informative and a good read. I'd also recommend Fertility Friend if you want to chart your BBT.

SH & Bucky fingers crossed for you both xx

hello all

welcome to mariecharlie and welcome back from your holidays lou. Hope you had a lovely time somewhere sunny.

Ooooh, good book suggestions ladies! Thank you . I couldn't get on with "We need to talk about Kevin". I probably didn't give it much of a go, but i felt like I was wading through treacle when I read it and that dreamy introspective style grated on me. It takes about 20 pages for her to get through the supermarket check out !. Maybe I should give it another go. I've got Alias Grace (Margaret Atwood) ready for the trip and also The Corrections (Jonathan Frantzen) both of which I bought a few years ago and promptly forgot about, meanwhile everyone else has read them! I have a room in my flat with shelves from floor to ceiling along three walls, all full of books, so it's easy for some to slip through the net! DH has imposed a "one in, one out" policy on books because he said there would eb no room for him

Ei - glad to hear we are cycle buddies this month . Ha, does that mean we're on a tandem cycle . Nothing to report here. CD6 for me. I had my injections last night for Indonesia and I feel really yucky [bleugh emoticon]. My arm looks like Mike Tyson has repeatedly punched it and then left me outside for hours to get the worst kind of sunburn . I cried and cradled my arm this morning when one big beefy bloke with computer bag bumped into me on the tube this morning. Grrr, all this misery and it's not even a BFP symptom

scary - if you had eaten what I had for lunch from our canteen you'd have gagged too. never touch the moussaka (sp?) . I'm not put off by R&J Book Club picks. Apart from The Gathering Light, I recently read The Handmaid's Tale (good, but difficult) by Margaret Atwood and Winter In Madrid by CJ Sansom (good, but a little unsatisfying) - sorry everyone didn't mean to turn it into the 2WW book club. TTC WARNING - addictive books may prevent BD-ing by keeping you so engrossed you don't want to do it with your DP's

caitni - I am addicted to the Olympics too! Are you getting one of those space age cycle helmets for your ride to work in the morning?

Bucky - lunch would be great. Will email you! When are you testing now you have bought a siny twin set of tests!?

hello to everyone else on the thread. Big wave to MOB and the bun in the over crowd of 2WW graduates!!!

Oh, I love "The Handmaid's Tale".
The worst book I ever read (so one to avoid) is "Underworld" by Don Delilo. I had never met a book I couldn't finish before, but by page 300 none of the characters had met and, basically, nothing had happened. This is the only book that ever defeated me (sob).

Do you like John Irvine? "A prayer for Owen Meany" is one of my favourite books - I'd recommend it if you haven't read it.

I like the 2WW book club - am always on the look out for inspiration re what to read next!

Thanks Caitni...you are probably right. I think I was trying to keep the man from thinking im obsessive. I've gone that way with my wedding and always thouht I was a modern girl who would get married in a paper bag in the middle of a beach with no family.

MarieCharlie lol I was like that with my wedding...had to fight obsession all the way and ended with just not telling my DH the full extent. But tried really hard to not get obsessed the first few months of ttc, and then decided I needed to get proactive. And while there's still no BFP I definitely have a much clearer sense of what's going on with my body, which can only be a good thing

SH I love a Prayer for Owen Meany, such a lovely lovely read. I've read lots of John Irvine and that's definitely my favourite. And I'm also struggling with Underworld...it sits on my shelves making me feel guilty for not finishing it yet! Any more symptoms to report young lady? I saw your thread about FR...interesting that so many women only get faint faint lines with them.

GG your library room sounds like heaven! Enjoy Alias Grace (my favourite Atwood) and The Corrections (another really good book). It's good to leave hyped books aside til the fuss dies down I reckon, that way you can form an honest opinion and not just whatever the consensus is. And poor you with your bruised arm. I'm on your behalf at the thoughtless people on the tube. And yes, I'd love a space age cycling helmet!

Bucky have you resisted testing? I admire your will power if so...

waves to MOB & Ei & PnM & Lou & all our pregnant graduates.

Um, BFP ladies
And with my freebie CBD too.
Cross everything for this one to stick.

SH YAY!!!

I checked in early this morning as i had a feeling there would be some news!!! I have everything crossed that this will be a lovely sticky one. But you have had some good symptoms, and obviously had a good, quick result - so it all looks great for you. (Am mentally supergluing that tiny cluster of cells into a lovely, cosy, snuggly spot for the required number of months)

Haven't read the other posts from the last day or so, but i will do so and be back later. Am off to have a celebratory cup of tea for SH

Thanks MOB. It's really nice being able to tell you lot, although of course with the rest of the world I will have to keep schtum!
Now I just have to make it throught the early scan in a couple of weeks time and I will be able to relax...

Couldn't read your news and not post even though am seriously late for work!! So quick message from me too to say congratulations SH - so happy for you

Back later to catch up properly x

I knew it, I knew it . Good news yaaaaaaay. Congratulations SH we all needed some good news, that is fantastic . This one will be sticky, I know that too....

Well I have resisted testing . Mainly for practical reasons. I keep waking up at 3am to pee, and at that time I am NOT testing with FMU! I am not officially late till after today though as I am 12dpo today and LP is 11 days.

Do your nails and hair grow faster when pg? . If so, I have a symptom. I have acrylic nails and usually I only have to get them filled every 2-3 weeks. They have grown literally twice as fast this week and after one and a half weeks they are double the length they usually are at two weeks. How freaky is that????

Hooray again for Scaryhairy

Probably should not jinx myself with symptoms though....

Arg! DO A TEST BUCKY!

(I actually got a BFP yesterday lunch time but was waiting for digital confirmation - FMU is overrated once you get to about 12dpo I reckon, so get on with it...)

ScaryHairy woo hoo congratulations!!! I'm delighted for you, absolutely delighted

Bucky I'm getting tentatively excited for you too. 3am peeing sounds like a pretty good symptom to me...

Again, SH you've made my morning with your good news

I left the twinset at home, i will have to buy more unless I wait till I get home...It probably won't be a BFP though, I NEVER get one!

That is not true, Bucky. You will get one soon.

Thanks for all the good wishes, girls. It means a lot. I know that everytime someone gets a BFP on this thread I am really pleased for them but at the same time it does make me feel a bit unsettled and makes me wonder when it will be my turn. So I really appreciate that you are all so supportive, as I know you all have your own personal ishoos to deal with. I just can't wait for the rest of you to get soem good news too.

Although I am feeling somewhat nervous I sort of can't resist the opportunity to start an ante-natal thread! I will be due on 1 May assuming this one is viable and as far as I can see there is no 'Due in May 2009' thread yet...

Bucky I know how you're feeling (I've never had even a faint line!) but you will get a BFP. I know you will. I stay hopeful for you because it helps me stay hopeful for myself .

SH start that AN thread if you want to girlie! With a due date of 1 May then it seems only right to step up and start it

Yes you start your thread SH I am sooo excited for you .

I am obsessed with MN today . I keep checking like every 2 mins . Not even sure what I am checking for .

Ha ha ha - me too!

Huh! Look at SH - get's a BFP and goes off and starts a new thread

Don't you dare think that it means you can spend less time with us - we need you to motivate us!!!

(I will be back properly later - i promise)
