Bakingqueen Hope the BDing went well. That's exactly what happened to me and I'm now on 2ww so fingers crossed I'm just back at work today after hols, went BACK about 1 1/2 weeks after MC.
Big waves to everyone else and for the record I'm not sure I'm deserving of little pants after raiding DD's Easter egg supply!

Fingers crossed for both your two week wait neeko and first day at work x

Morning ladies! Good luck back at work today Neeko! Funny you said about weaning off MN a bit cos I was thinking the same thing! Mainly cos worried about my work, they do moniter net use! It Your all addictive tho! I just caught up with w-ends posts, but decided I wont lurk or post in work core hours 10-12, 2-4!

So apologies now if Im not around so much or if I dont keep up so well with everyones antics in next few weeks! Our treatment is in less than 2 weeks and im tech on 2ww & if bfn will be ttc like mad next month so just having a mini MN break til then! (Tho will still lurk/post when I can!) I love you all too much to be gone for long! xxxxxx

Just also want to say congrats to Barbie on your MAC job hon! So pleased its the one you were holding out for as well! xx

...........and massive love to anyone I havent mentioned! Sorry!

neeko dont leave us! good luck back at work, im sure it will be fine

I think i have at least 3 more weeks before i start working so im going to make the most of the sun before it gets too hot, its already 35/38 degrees raising to about 50 next month

Morning all !

4Ever and Neeko - I know what you mean about too much MNetting . Have promised myself to get down to work properly by 9.30 and stay away till lunchtime, but am not sure if I will manage it !!

Barbie - I don't know how you cope with that sort of heat !

Had a really bad night last night - awake from 2am and WIDE awake too - this type of insomnia is my major PG symptom - had it last time aswell ..

Dinner was well received last night but it seemed tasteless to me I wonder if hormones have affected my taste buds ? Gonna be good tonight - I normally do Body Combat then Body Balance at the gym, but have decided to just do the Balance class (a bit of tai chi, yoga, pilates and some meditation at the end - very relaxing )

Loving the thought of the cotton wool wrap dress

Have a good day everyone

Morning all,
Congrats on the new job Barbie! Jools hope you're feeling ok and managing to take it fairly easy.
Neeko, MLS, Mermaid, ccpink*, anyone else on the 2ww I've missed... I have a confession to make - when my AF arrived at the start of the month I recklessly purchased some cheap HPTs online. They detect quite a low amount of hcg so it is apparently possible to get a positive from 6dpo...! or so it says . And also they cost £2.99 for 15, which is why i got them because I was with myself for literally peeing away (on) 25 quid last month! When they arrived I realised they are just the strip that goes inside the plastic casing on a normal test, so that might explain why they are so cheap. Either that or they are rubbish of course! I have one proper test left which I am saving for if AF is late. But since I am 6dpo today (I think) i took one of my cheapies this morning - and it is a BFN. So am planning on doing another cheapie on Weds and seeing if it changes. I think I'd rather keep getting BFNs than keep imagining symptoms and then be extra disappointed when AF gets here. Am I being daft?
Anyway, I am very impressed with everyone else's 2ww resolve!
Kate really pleased to hear you had a cracking hen do!
Bakingqueen welldone on the 3000 words and goodluck with the bd'ing!

Hello 4ever, barbie and Jools, think i just x-posted.
Jools - sorry to hear about the insomnia, it's such a pain, but also def a good pg symptom I think

Morning all!!

Kate you look fabulous on your hen do!! Its a shame no one would swap my shift so I could come with you, but then who in their right mind would volunteer to do an extra saturday night shift in charge of an A&E!

Neeko I hope work is going well. littlebellsmum is right, you've also made our lives much better by being on this thread so don't go away!

BakingQueen well done for finishing your dissertation! You look at peoples profiles by clicking on the yellow thing between the red exclamation mark and the envelope next to each post on the thread. If they have photos they'll be a link from their profile. You should put a pic on your profile too! If you're worried about the world finding out who you are you can list us lot as your "mumsnet mates" and set your photos to be viewed by mates only.

Barbie well done for getting that job!!

4ever I hope the next 2 weeks fly by so you can start your treatment.

Waves to everyone else!

Well its CD 17 for me today, but didn't get a positive ovulation test till yesterday and no signs I've ovulated yet. Night shifts tend to throw things a little, especially as I'm not sure what time of day to do the OPK tests, the positive came at 8am yesterday morning after a night shift. Somehow we managed to BD on day 14, 15, and 16 despite being on nights and trying to be asleep!!! Well done Gracie! Poor DH has gone back to work now for a rest and won't be back for a week. So I'm now joining those on the 2 week wait and hoping my BD'ing before ovulation will do the trick.

gg how do you manage it when you are on nights?! the heat here is doing nothing for my love life...too hot too be bothered!

I did my last opk stick today as this time last month i had a positive....nothing today so i have fingers crossed it means im going to have a more regular cycle and ovualte a little later this time....im going to order some things off babymad and get my mum to send it out, which will take weeks so until then im chillin.....no honestly i am!

Booked to go to dublin for dh birthday weekend, oxygen festival, killers, lady ga ga, kings of leon and all fab acts will be playing, a good excuse to wear wellies and my pink tutu! dh say he bets ill be pregnant by then just because im so looking forward to a weekend of mayhem!

morning girls .hope everyone is well . im on a cleaning day and im bored already .

gracie work is mean im not there friend as no one would swap lol

come on girls when is my virtal hen night going to be . !!!!!

I'm following 4ever's lead and only lurking/posting during my lunch break.

Gracie - hats off to youy my girl . I do always think its the bd you do before you OV that hits the mark . Fingers crossed on the 2ww...

barbie - festival sounds amazing, I love Kings of Leon and wearing wellies . Really hoping your cycle is getting into synch.

Kate - glad you had a ball on your hen night! Are you a May bride?

baking queen - congrats on finishing your dissertation - phew!

Jools - I'm not suffering from insomnia but am waking early and feeling VERY awake which is so not like me. DH is amazed as he can actually hold a morning conversation with me in bed rather than getting grunts . Glad to hear your slowing things down at the gym..

Its glorious up here, almost wish we could take our desks outside like you used to do at school .

Just remembered I have tickets to a music festival aswell !

What do you reckon on being 20 weeks pg and camping at a festival for 4 nights
