me too - 'cept now I want Gok to be the daddy (sorry DH! )

Dalrymps · 28/08/2008 22:45

Well, not sure i'd want Gok so you can have him

SesQal · 29/08/2008 06:54

Morning all!

Tink - (incase you've forgotten!) it's scan day!!!

Well I've not really had any more wee symptoms, or any other symptoms for that matter. Also (for those of you that know about temping) my temp dropped from 36.86 yesterday to 36.66 today. Still above coverline but definitely not triphasic. here

As for Gok, I think he's fantastic and would make a fantastic friend (and of course advisor) but LBOT, you can have him as long as I can borrow him to go shopping!

Hope everyone else is doing ok this morning.
Cal - hope you managed to get some sleep (wine maybe helped?) Hope too that your weekend away goes well - could be just what you need. Thinking of you.

Cosmo - sorry you've been so sick.
Glaskham - sorry you're feeling so sick too.
Hope both of you get the chance to lurk and look forward to having you back posting soon.

2BG & Kooky - understand the need to take a break. Take care and come back to us when the time is right.

NJ - sounds like you had a busy weekend. My mum only lves a 3 minute drive away which I often think is way too close but I guess it does mean that she only ever pops by and we never have her to stay! We have a funny relationship where she thinks I'm her best friend but the whole family (for various reasons) find her v frustrating and annoying.

Diege - how are you doing? It may be that our cycles are taking a while to settle back into some sort of regular pattern. Some good GOFing can only increase chances of catching that egg though!

Hello everone else!

Diege · 29/08/2008 08:55

Morning SES and everyone else! How are things? Agree, our cycles may take 2 or 3 months to settle.
I've just recovered from cleaning the fridge - found some mould at the back of it so of course have had to take the whole thing apart and ATTACK! Now I'm worried that I've inhaled bleach fumes that will do a potential bean harm and I've not even ovulated yet! Have to lauugh at myself for making dh and dds go away for their trip later (Sat) to catch the egg, when would probably have been better sticking to original plan!
Hope you're OK Glask? I remember (sort of) how awful the sickness is, but maybe yours will settle back into the pattern you had? Not unusal to have one horrendous day or night in amidst more regular sickness I think.
I'd better dash as it's chaotic here and dh is giving me daggers...Catch up tonight after Gulliver's World of hell fun!

Dalrymps · 29/08/2008 09:12

Morning everyone,

Cal - Hope you slept ok and that you enjoy your weekend away

Ses - Sorry no more symptoms but it's early days, don't give up hope! I was really bad for going to the loo loads when I was pressgers but more so a bit later on, iirc a few weeks after i got the BFP so thats not the only thing to look out for. I'm temping but I don't know what 'triphasic' means , looks like to me your temp is still in the higher range iykwim.

I have to admit that I just shed a tear whilst watching the gmtv wedding, what is that about?!

Back soon x

Hi Cals in case you're there - hope you had a restful night

GYo · 29/08/2008 09:36

Good Luck for the scan Tink!!

lastboxoftampons · 29/08/2008 09:37

Hi everyone

good luck for scan today, Tink!

And, I don't really find Gok attractive per se, I just think he seems like a really lovely person. And it was so cute the way he was taking ownership over that bump!

Diege sorry your timing was a bit off - happened to us last month I was away from CD16 and we really gave it our all in the run up to my leaving, but I didn't actually ov until CD22! Good thing for you, you're both still in the same country, albeit probably tired! So get GOF'ing!

tinknotlongtillscannow · 29/08/2008 09:41

thats not good enough diege lol will let you off this once.

boy or girl boy or girl boy or girl

Diege · 29/08/2008 09:51

Will try my best LBOX, although we are technically in different countries this weekend (England/Wales ).
LOL TINKS - I'm still putting my money on girl, though I know you're hoping boy!

GYo · 29/08/2008 09:58

You know Diege.... email and text are wonderful things these days....

There are a few people at my company who have many children and we often wonder how they manage it given the amount of time the spend working away..... Im amazed how advanced the "attach file" function is these days.....

OP posts:
Diege · 29/08/2008 10:20

Wouldn't that be great - an e-mail attachment with ready to insert sperm !
Right, I'm really off now!

calsworld · 29/08/2008 10:24

Morning all. Tink, have fun at your scan, I know you want a boy but I'm afraid I'm voting girl..... look forward to hearing your news.

Very wobbly this morning...in fact, I didn't think I was capable of howling but apparently I am, hope the neighbours couldn't hear me.

I've got no internet connection, I'm not hiding (at the moment I've poached my neighbours but quite frankly, desperate times call for desperate measures).

I expect to be off line all weekend. Not sure how I'm going to cope, beginning to wonder if agreeing to go away is the right thing. DH phoned home and spoke to MIL, mentioned SIL and BIL who don't know, but they guessed I might be after last time I was home and MIL is concerned that if I drink this weekend, SIL will crack a joke about thinking I was pregnant so DH and MIL agreed MIL will tell SIL.

Not sure how I feel about this at all. I haven't been around anyone that knows in person and I think that's going to be tough.

Sorry, sorry, sorry everyone...I just don't know where else to go . Don't anyone mention about being on my own because I don't have anyone to be with and that makes me sad too.

Diege, I think you might not be too far away from me, if my guess at today's destination is right . SIL took her two DD there when she was pg with her DD2 and found it hard as it was all on a hillside? Hope you have a nice day.

tinknotlongtillscannow · 29/08/2008 10:32

off in 20 mins.

no need to apologize cal thats what we are here for
have a chilling weekend you just take care of yourself

Dalrymps · 29/08/2008 10:41

Have fun at the scan Tink! Sorry, forgot to say before. Can't wait to find out! I vote boy

Cal - I'm guessing you're feeling quite down about it all today but you're articulating your feelings very well, I think you're doing really well to talk about how you feel. I'm sure it'll help over time... I think you should just do what you want to do and bugger anyone else!

Keep talking, we're all always here to listen, just wish there was something I could do to help in some way .

If there's anything you can think of, just say

GYo · 29/08/2008 10:51

Hi Cals

Glad you are able to poach your neighboughs line to get online..and PLEASE dont be sorry. We are all here to help, or at least try to

Sounds like a tough situation with the in-laws... maybe its better that they do know least then they can be sensitive to you, especially if you want a glass of wine... I think what ever you do this weekend will be difficult so maybe its good to have a change of scene for you and DH/DS...

Not sure where abouts you are in the country but it would be good if some or any of us where nearby.

Maybe we need a virtual coffee morning with homemade brownies... Mine are well known for being far to rich and gooey... Will fax some over...

Keep talking if you can stay online. Im always lurking at the moment. x

lastboxoftampons · 29/08/2008 11:04

Cals I agree with GYo - I know I felt better when some people knew, as I felt it was really difficult to carry on as if everything was just fine when in reality it wasn't. In hindsight, it would've been so much nicer to tell people when we had happy news to share instead of sad, but it did help to get it out in the open.

Diege Is your DH away this weekend? I thought it was last weekend. I agree a email attachment would be brilliant!

For those of you who are/have gotten pregnant - have any of you done so without much EWCM to speak of? The month we were successful, I had tons, but haven't had much since, except for last month when I was away I was hoping I had turned an EWCM corner, but so far, it doesn't look like it and I had a +OPK last night. Fingers crossed!

calsworld · 29/08/2008 11:14

I've fixed it! Yay.

I'm in the midlands, in derby. It would be wonderful if anyone was nearby but I've a feeling you're all miles away.

LBOT, I don't have much ewcm and I used pre-seed the month I got pregnant. I appreciate I'm probably not the best example at the moment but think it helped...

GYo · 29/08/2008 11:20

Hi LBOT

Not sure im a good example re EWCM - think I had a reasonable amount when I conceived.... but EWCM has always been my indicator of ovulation, even before I was TTC. Sorry I cant help more...

Yay to fixing it Cal! Hmm derby is miles away from me... probably about 150

Virtual coffee it is... will make a fresh batch of brownies. Who else is joining?

OP posts:
calsworld · 29/08/2008 11:35

Mmmm brownies. I baked a lot of brownies when I was on maternity leave with DS...it kept me going through breastfeeding! Fresh baked out of the oven, can't beat them.

Coffee not my thing - def a tea girl

lastboxoftampons · 29/08/2008 11:42

MMmmm Brownies! Sounds lovely!

Thanks about the EWCM. We've tried preseed in the past, but unfortunately didn't have any luck. Would definitely be up for it this month, but won't be able to get a hold of it on time. There's now a similar one available over the counter in the US, but I don't think you can get it here Oh, well, thanks guys!
