jools - some people can be so insensitive. vent here whenever you need to. x

just been trying to read back all the posts - haven't been able to properly take all in as mad busy today. But quickly:

cindy - well done for the graduation! I thought about you the moment I woke up thinking thank god, for Cindy, it's Thursday!!

yellow - keep us all updated...still got my fingers crossed for you.

iggy - we're just going to have to be patient and wait til monday...i found a PG test this morning as I was clearing out a cupboard but WILL NOT USE IT until Monday (if, that is, AF hasn't come by then). I don't feel at all PG either today

Joolsiam · 29/01/2009 11:56

Hope you have a nice busy day to keep your mind off things Yellowflowers

I think months and months of GFJ drinking has paid off .............

I have never ever ever seen so much EWCM in my life before !! Surely this is a good sign ? Wish me luck tonight girls - DP is not going to know what hit him !

C1NDY · 29/01/2009 12:40

Jools heeheh...you go girl!!

C1NDY · 29/01/2009 12:43

Jools I always get trigger happy as I get worried that we will get down to our last post and forget to start a new one. Okay, will keep watching every day how long we have got to go...

iggypiggy · 29/01/2009 13:02

I was just thinking... I really want to graduate with all of you on this thread... I want us all to move over to another PG thread together, all of us that are still ttc to join all the graduates. Am feeling bit emotional today

WanabeMum · 29/01/2009 13:03

Congratulations C1ndy!!! I see you have gone over to the new thread already? you brave lady, i'm still too scared to!

Jools that girl does sound like a silly cow (to quote you ) but try not to let her get to you too much. Just think, when you get to post your she will be feeling a little insignificant because all the lovely ladies on the thread that know you will be so much more excited for you! Selfish concept i know but who cares?

Well i'm a little like a weeping willow today I'm finding that everything is a bind and i'm close to tears for the slightest thing. Ridiculous really but guessing it's the hormones? Luckily for me and my colleagues I have booked tomorrow off so can stay in bed (coz im ssssoooo tired) and just spend the day vegging out!

C1NDY · 29/01/2009 13:16

Wanabe I feel like a fraud... but do love come here the best . I haven't been feeling anything, only in the evening get a little tired but don't know whether it is DD that is wearing me out. She is in her terriable two's stage and is wearing me out in not compling with what I want!!

How many weeks are you now. I am 4 weeks and 1 day.

OP posts:
C1NDY · 29/01/2009 13:18

My words are all over the place... I think before I can type... or type before I can think .... something like that.

Am starting to feel tired now, not sure its because you have mentioned it Wanabe. Perhaps we can start a thread for those in their 12 week wait! ? !

wasabipeanut · 29/01/2009 13:50

Aw Iggy - we all want to gradulate with you too! Ok, this is Wasabi's prediction. By January 2010 we will ALL have graduated and will either have our bundles of scrumptiousness in our arms or be due a delivery very shortly!

How does that sound?

Joolsiam · 29/01/2009 13:55

If anyone is interested, First Response PG Test single pack is BOGOF in Superdrug at the mo, so you can get two sensitive sticks to pee on for just over £7

I have a twin pack of tescos tests hidden in the house somewhere and can't remember where !!

Lovelymonster and Pinkie do you have any news yet?

OP posts:
Joolsiam · 29/01/2009 14:09

Quick list update as I spotted one error, put the dates in order and I think my AF due date is going to be earlier, based on current fertility signs

Wasabi - I read all through that website and never saw that CD1 is the day that the last bit passes - makes perfect sense now because, if I count from that date, it means that my first wierd AF arrived spot on 28 days later..

Lovelymonster Af due 26th January
Pinkie08 due 30th Jan clomid and DP
Yellowflowers AF due from 30th Jan DP

Joolsiam · 29/01/2009 14:14

Found Pinkie08 on another thread - looks like she got AF today I think. No sign of LovelyMonster anywhere on MNet since end of Dec - hope all is OK

queenie1 · 29/01/2009 15:03

iggy - i want to graduate with everyone on this thread too. feels like it really is our own special virtual group of friends and want it to continue.

wasabi - loving your prediction. lets hope the next year is a good one for all of is. xxx

Broodzilla · 29/01/2009 15:24

Hi everyone, I've been trying to catch up with you all... had been typing up responses individually until I clicked back a page and discovered that everything I wrote disappeared...

Anyway, sorry if I'm excluding anyone, but just wanted to say HAPPY BFP to Cindy!

Also, wasabi I hope you're on the home stretch now, and I'm sure we're all hoping your prediction is true!

Jools People can be really insensitive! We just had a letter in the post yesterday from SIL with pictures from her latest scan. She's nearly 40 but got pregnant right away and seems to think that it's the same for everyone. When they last visited us, she congratulated her DP on being "a real man" for managing to get her pregnant...

No news in camp Broodzilla. No signs of AF, but no BFP. Not sure why I was expecting either as I know I didn't OV.

Will start temping tomorrow... I'm REALLY not a morning person, but am determined to set the alarm for 6AM every day. We'll see how it goes.

wasabipeanut · 29/01/2009 15:32

Brrodzilla - that must have made your dp feel just great! Never ceases to amaze me how staggeringly insensitive people can be at times.

WanabeMum · 29/01/2009 19:50

Hey everyone,

C1ndy i'm 6+1 today and have my GP appointment tomorrow. It's a scary concept as it's making it "real". I obviously want it to be real but i feel a little in limbo still as I'm excited but affraid to get too excited. odd i know
My only symptom until today was sore breasts. To the point where now it is awkward to sleep as i can't get comfy without brushing past them and boy does it hurt! . But today the extreme fatigue kicked in with a vengence and my eyes are burning as if i haven't slept for days! Plus the whole emotional thing also kicked in today. Just want to blub at anything Oh well this is what i signed up for!

I'm loving the idea that by the end of this year we will all be parents or will be waiting for our due dates!

I still don't know what i'd have done without you lovely ladies, even now i can't go for more than 24hrs without checking in on you all! Quick stop me before i blub

smileycat · 29/01/2009 21:13

Hi Ladies
Just had my dating scan & they put me back 5 days. I was pretty sure of my dates but I guess I have to go with what they say. I'm now offically 8wks + 1day & my due date is 09/09/09 great birthday if I go on time

My fingers are crossed for those of you with AF due this wkend & hope she stays away for you, baby dust to all on the build up or 2WW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BeckyMcG · 29/01/2009 22:32

Hey girls,
Jools - she really sounds like a silly little girl, how old is she? must have a low mental age. It's hard to know what to do for the best but in situations like this I usually just try and rise above it and be the better person. If you let her see she's got to you she'll be more satisfied. If you get thrown off your message board then she'll have won. Don't let it happen - she's a silly cow.
Cindy - we are allowed to be happy for you now!!! We all know what can go wrong but this is the only thread where we know that it's so hard to get a bloody BFP in the first place.
Smiley Yeah, yeah. I think they just have a little guess at the scans as they moved me too and I was also sure of dates.

So my update is I've felt knackered this week and have been very, very crabby with DH. I am 16 weeks today and while my tummy is going hard (rather than flabby) I don't have any bump at all and no illness or food cravings and my boobs have stopped being sore and growing. So (and this is a guilty secret that I do not intend to admit to read friends) I went to St Thomas emergency gynocology tonight after work (it's next to my office) and asked them if they'd look at the baby. I looked pitiful I think and she relented and they scanned me. There it was - beating away and moving. I celebrated with a packet of Haribo on the way home. God - when will I be able to believe I'm having a baby? when it's here? Should I admit to hubby that I did that!!!

BeckyMcG · 29/01/2009 22:40

Broozilla that is so insensitive. My hubby was telling some friends our news at a wedding the other week and was drunk and joking "at least I know I've got lead in my pencil" and I told him off so much once I got him on his own. I said - how do you know they're not trying? and didn't MC only last week? or going through IVF? how would we have felt? and he felt really sheepish and bad. He won't be saying things like that again .
For a man to say it - it's just mouth talking before brain engaged but for a woman to say that though it's quite unbelieveable.

yellowflowers · 29/01/2009 22:54

Hi wasabi - I sign up to your prediction!

smileycat · 30/01/2009 08:40

I have just had my scan pics sent to me from yesterday, I have put them on my profile page if anyone wants to have a look

Joolsiam · 30/01/2009 08:58

Good to "see" you Becky and I'd have done exactly the same in your situation I cannot believe you are 16 weeks already though !!!

Smiley - just had a coo over your piccies - bet it makes it seem so real now

I didn't have the best of evenings - DP was at a function at work - got back at around 10pm and we had a glass of wine and I tried to be extra nice and seductive, but he was too tired and it just didn't work, although we tried both last night and this morning

I'm trying not to put pressure on him and tell him when my fertile time is, in case this is what is impeding the performance so I can't express my frustration desperation to anyone else but you guys

Will try again tonight - hopefully a Friday night in the pub will get things going. It may be too little too late though. I've been telling myself for the past week that it doesn't matter and another month to really lose a good amount of weight will be better in the long run - but I really need to have at least one BD at the right time and have a 2WW, otherwise I'll feel a bit lost for 3 weeks till I can start seducing him again ..

Maybe we're just getting too old - my libido was so non-existent for years that it caused relationship problems - now it has woken up, he's approaching 44 and it is becoming more difficult. Maybe if I lose more weight, he'll get more into BD ?

sorry for being a bit miserable (again )

yellowflowers · 30/01/2009 09:03

blimey- I am not sure about this new look mumsnet, plus only seems to work for me in Safari not Firefox.

An odd morning - last night a very faint positive on internet cheapy. Then woke up at 5am and had started bleeding - proper fresh red blood (though not loads) rather than period coloured blood. Still bleeding this am but got another faint positive on internet cheapie.

Guess it's a CP? Be honest - any chance at all I could have more red blood than spotting and this still stick?
