jools pizza everytime, just leave the crusts.
Go on test, test, you know you want to.

Sorry about your interview Barbie - what a performance

I had resolved not to test till AF was officially late, ie Sunday or Monday

Fertility Friend tells me I can test on Saturday

Last time, I tested and got a BFP at 13DPO (would be tomorrow) ...

Not sure what I will hold out for at the moment !!

It would be kind of convenient to know tomorrow, as I am seeing my diet counsellor in the afternoon and will need to buy more diet stuff from her - but if I am PG, then you are not allowed to follow this diet ....

Joolsiam · 09/04/2009 12:03

Hehe - you always make me laugh Mermaid

Am just printing out posters to put up in my street that say

"Have your cuddly toys started disappearing ?

My Siamese cat adores all stuffed toys and seems to have embarked on a spate of cat burglaries - 7 assorted teddies / rag dolls / stuffed dogs / chickens have found their way through the catflap during the last few days.

I am keeping them all safe. If you have been the victim of this feline felon, please accept my apologies and pop along to see Joolssiam at No xx to reclaim your property and accept my apologies"

My cats are such characters

mermaidspurse · 09/04/2009 12:12

your cats appear to be nesting for you, is this another sign?
test.

4everhopeful · 09/04/2009 12:26

Ooooh I agree with mermaid and barbie - do a test now jools! Even your cat is having symptoms for you!

4everhopeful · 09/04/2009 12:29

at your interview Barbie! Time for me to lead the Charlies Angels kick ass frontier on your behalf! Shall we go get her?! You could of just sent a blummin photo rather than stressing yourself out on paniced manic driving mission! I agree with mermaid time to slump in a lounger with a cocktail & sun yourself...! Its grey & cloudy here! xxxxx

mermaidspurse · 09/04/2009 12:43

mermaidspurse · 09/04/2009 13:41

kate you poor thing in drawing the short straw to work over the weekend
we may not have the sun but think you should gracefully recline yourself surrounded by chocolate eggs and other nice things.
Its horrible waiting for that visit from af, sending you one of jools mangled loved soft chickens and a hug.

chickens?

kate030284 · 09/04/2009 13:58

thank you mermaid

4everhopeful · 09/04/2009 14:08

Well ladies - signing off for the Easter weekend! Thank you so much again to you all for all your support & kind words! Trying to come back to earth a bit (aided by slightly pessimistic MIL who 'is too scared to believe it will work' ) Just enjoy & share our buzz woman! Its a forgotten feeling & im enjoying it! I know she means well tho & would take a tank to bring me too down right now! Invited her, FIL & my mum to dinner on sunday so will get them both drunk & merry! Tomorrow we are decorating the back bedroom finally, never done it, always in the hope would eventually be our nursery. A few weeks ago we decided to just bite the bullet & make it a neutral 'spare room to hopefully one day be adapted' Hopefully dare I say it, that day may actually come for us now!

Anyway - have a great long break you lovely ladies - Happy Easter!!!! Love you all loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MummyLovesSadie · 09/04/2009 17:38

Hello ladies, what a busy bunch you have been again today! 4ever so so happy about your test news, try not to let your MIL drag you down. You must remain an optimist, I just don't get pessimists... or even realists for that matter! I think you can achieve whatever you want to achieve with hard work & positive thinking. You WILL get the baby you've been dreaming about.

Neeko my ttc knowledge comes from desperation & perhaps a bit too much time on my hands to enable me to have done the amount of research I've been doing! Yes I use a digital thermometer, they are the most accurate & beep after 30 seconds when you have a reading.

Jools I hate to join the pushy bandwagon but I'm dying to know if you have done a test yet!

Barbie I think bright red blood is good. when I had my latest acupuncture on Saturday they asked what colour my af was & mine was bright red too.

Did anyone used to watch that sketch show a couple of years ago called Spoons? One of the sketches was a husband & wife & whatever situation they were in (in a restaurant or a bar or whatever) he would always say "Can I get you anything else dear?" & she would always reply at the top of her voice "I WANT A FU**ING BABY!!!!" Well that's just about how desperate & irrational I'm starting to feel!

kate030284 · 09/04/2009 17:44

same her mls im starting to feel that everyone i seem to no is pregnant or just had a baby

MummyLovesSadie · 09/04/2009 17:45

Oh forgot to say... forget the mini eggs, I have just discovered Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Belgian chocolate hot cross buns, MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! None of your fruity raisiny crap in there, just lots of chunks of pure Belgian chocolate, split in two & toasted with loads of butter, hubba hubba!

Im feeling really sorry for myself tonight had to send dh out so i dont drag him down with me.....
I guess its the hormones but cant stop crying...so hoped it was my month this time around, now im faced with knowing that the lp phase is to short to substain a lo, what if its the same next time. Im not even losing enough blood to class as a proper period, 1 sighting of it a the toilet and its all over
Im feeling a bit homesick too if im honest and the job situation is gettin gme down now. I hate being sad, its just not me but im sat typing in floods of tears with no real reasoning apart from im the women that is shouting :I WANT A FU**KING BABY!

barbie its shit honey and I hate where our bodies have dumped us. I know it dosn't help much cos am 1000s of miles away but we all love ya loads and understand and just cry it out, we have tissues at the ready. Your edd date is only just past and hormones are shit, sending you a hug.

im so sorry u feel down barbie big big hugs xxxxxxx

mermaidspurse · 09/04/2009 18:15

barbie I hope this dos'nt make you feel worse, just trying to say we are normal, whatever the hell that is on my first edd I went completely nuts, just caved in and couldn't cope, a bit of a mini breakdown I suppose. I had bottled it all up, brushed myself off and carried on, like we are meant to do cos i was 'so lucky to have a ds'
Didn't have this lovely safe place and you lot. It did take me a while to find my feet again, I reckon a year and I was kindda ok. I suppose thats why I have lumped all the mcs into one its easier to carry around in my head.

You have had a really crap day, a really crap af/not af/ your mums gone home, nasty job lady but it will be ok. It will honestly see its mysticmermaid now!

I suppose i have been bottling it all up in real life, even my mum said she didnt realise how sad i still was because i continue to put up a front. Think that is why she was so taken aback when i broke down last week.

mermaid you could never make me really worse, we are the same, we are hurting the same and continuing on the same. this is the ony place we can truely say and be who we really are.

thanks kate.

Not crying anymore, found ice cream, so im going to watch a movie, take a long bath and relax...

bluesatinsash · 09/04/2009 20:06

barbie - I'm really hoping your sitting enjoying your movie and ice cream as I type and that you feel better after your cry. You are so strong and positive it goes against your very being having mc and ttc stresses thrust upon you.

Where are you with the doctor and checking your cycle out? Have you thought any more about getting acupuncture?

This ttc after mc is just so bloody hard BUT you will get there and your lo will be sporting his/her 'emmsy's angel graduate' vest one day x
