Hello All!

How's everyone diddling?

Glasto - good to see you with a relaxed/positive attitude. Isn't there some kind of old wife's tale about new home, new baby? Hope it proves true in your case.

Shayera - how're things?

Claire - how you doing? Sorry to see you at the top. Are you due to go back for more tests?

PL - Hope you managed to let your hair down a bit at the wedding. Aren't people funny about their obsession with procreation? You would be more than welcome at any of our family bashes. They are completely the opposite. NO ONE asks about ANYONE's health, wealth or otherwise. All very superficial, like it's some kind of terrible unmentionable. Maybe it's because it's such a big family, no one can keep track so they just don't bother!

Welcome to JamieJay - we haven't had a BFP on here for a while so one (or all) of us are dues one soon...

Am up at this silly hour because I can't sleep. Don't ask me why. Not BD/BFP/ov related. We're off on hols on Thurs and just had the endless list of things I have to do before then going round and round and round in my head. Plus am a bit poorly with a cold (swine flu??). Anyhow, am hoping I will be back mid Aug with some good news and to see some good news from some of you lovely ladies, too.

Beanie - have a fabulous wedding.

PistachioLemon · 21/07/2009 15:16

Hmmm, very strange things happening in the PL camp... on CD22 now and have more EWCM. Had some on Saturday (so had a little bonk before the wedding) then nothing much since then and now more of the stuff. What's going on?

Wish I'd temped this month now!

OP posts:
ClaireDeLoon · 22/07/2009 09:53

PL I sometimes get that - I did last month, only a tiny bit though was very odd and I was like you - wish I'd temped so I knew if I had ov'd when I thought I had earlier.

Best to get a sneaky session in though just in case it is late ovulation

Have a lovely holiday jaamy! Where are you going?

blackrock · 22/07/2009 12:53

Hello there. Hope everyone is well.

Beanie just to say have a wonderful wedding. Hope it is all you wish for.

I am still around. Things are better at home. My work has caused a lot of stress in my relationship, but I think things are on the mend.

I have an appointment at the end of August. Until then I am not tracking anything, and just seeing how things bobble along.

I am on about day 11 of cycle 28. I'll add my name back onto the list soon.

Take Care.

PistachioLemon · 23/07/2009 08:46

Hey Blackrock, lovely to see you back here. I'm so pleased your relationship is back on the mend. I'm going with the non-tracking method at the moment too and in some ways it's much less stressful.

Beanie - hope all the last minute planning has gone smoothly and enjoy the day.

Hi Claire, so how are you? We did have a sneaky session actually but I'm not convinced it's ovulation because I feel like my period is just around the corner. Perhaps it's just one of those abberations!

Jaamy Hope you've managed to get some sleep since Monday night/Tuesday morning. Hope you have a fabby holiday and get some well deserved relaxation time (and lots of holiday sex!). See you in August.

beanie is it your wedding this weekend? How fabulous I hope it all goes smoothly and you and DF/DH have a great time.

PL well done on the sneaky session fingers crossed your period stays away.

blackrock glad things are looking up in your relationship and sorry your work seems so stressful. Hoping that being more relaxed will work for you.

BuddhaBelly · 23/07/2009 20:51

Hello it's Mollie I had to name change for personal reasons, but it seems quite apt
Beanie Hope you have a wonderful wedding, will be thinking of you, would be fabulous to get a BFP first cycle after becoming a "Mrs"
Blackrock So lovely to hear from you, good news about the relationship and enjoy chilling out rather than obsessing about TTC
PL EWCM might be a very good sign, here's hoping
Jaamy Hope you have a fantastic holiday with lots of quality bd
Claire Sorry to see you back at the top
JamieJay Hello and welcome you are in good company here and I know exactly how you feel unfortunately pg after m/c is terrifying and such a rollercoaster of emotions. Good luck
Shayer How are things with you?
Glasto Long time no hear Hope the appt with nurse went well tonight, are you excited about starting IVF or just nervous? Let's hope you're one of the lucky ones and it works first time

BuddhaBelly · 23/07/2009 20:55

..

BuddhaBelly · 23/07/2009 20:55

not sure what happened there!

PistachioLemon · 24/07/2009 09:45

Mollie, BuddhaBelly... I like it! What news from you?

I feel I have to tell the truth about the sneaky session - I'm a bit embarrassed about it to tell the truth as we sneaked off in between the church and the evening do ...felt a bit like a naughty teenager! No-one noticed though thank God(and my entire family were there so they would have definitely said if they had).

Well, I'm on CD25 so based on last month's cycle I'm a day late but based on my longest cycle I still have ten days to go. So frustrating. I've been having cramps very low down for the past few days which aren't particularly painful and my boobies aren't exactly sore but I'm very aware of them (and every so often I get sort of shooting pains in one or the other). Also the other night I thought they looked kind of veiny - but that could very well just have been my imagination as last night they looked kind of normal. Oh, and yesterday morning I felt a bit nauseous, but that could be because I didn't have anything to eat but had a couple of cups of tea and that always makes me feel a bit icky. Hmmmm. I'm really scared that it's all in my imagination, and I'm really scared that it's not all in my imagination.

Hmm, nothing yet, but I'm still getting cramps on and off so I think I'm most likely out for the month. Bring on month 9.

Hello all, just popping in to say 'Hi' and let you all know I am a married lady now and also I am not sure when I am going to ovulate, no signs. Hope all are good?

BuddhaBelly · 26/07/2009 13:50

MrsBeanie Congratulations hope you had a wonderful day [smile
PL Any news yet?

ClaireDeLoon · 26/07/2009 23:26

Beanie congrats enjoy your honeymoon

PL fingers crossed for you.

I had a smiley face on my clearblue digital on Friday which was CD9, last cycle I ov'd two days after my smiley face so if the same that is today just CD11, very early for me.

PistachioLemon · 27/07/2009 09:29

Morning All.

MrsBeanie congratulations! So what was it like? Did it all go according to plan? Oooh, I love weddings and get so excited thinking about them. I wish I could get married again (to DH of course!).

Claire to smiley CBD, have you been busy over the weekend? Crossing fingers for you.

Well, no change here I'm afraid. Still funny tummy, still funny boobies, now also have indigestion. Not really feeling sick or anything. CD28 for me today so either four days late or seven days to go based on shortest and longest cycles. DH thinks I'm up-duffed, but I keep telling him to shut up!

OP posts:
ClaireDeLoon · 27/07/2009 10:08

PL I think you should test!

PistachioLemon · 27/07/2009 10:30

Noooooooo! Because then I might have to give up smelly cheese and shell-fish.... aaarrrghhhhh!

I may, however, buy one today (a test, not some smelly cheese or shellfish) to torment myself with.

Good luck PL, really hope you get your bfp.

self indulgent wedding photos are here if anyone would like to see. My mum made my dress and my SIL the cake. Everything went well although we forgot to cut the cake!

Am not sure if we're in with a chance babywise this month as it's all been a bit sporadic but perhaps a break is what we need

ButterflEi · 27/07/2009 15:49

Hi ladies, just wanted to let you know I had a miscarriage at just 7 weeks so back in the game with all of you.
Threw myself into work, but as its the summer holidays now need some good ideas to fill my time and get me out of morose "Its never gonna happen" mood. Any ideas welcome!
Hope you are all okay, congrats on the wedding Beanie!
Lou x

PistachioLemon · 27/07/2009 16:08

Beanie I LOVE the dress and the idea of a changeable sash and underskirt is genius. Can I show my sister please? Looks like you had a glorious day. Also does your sister-in-law have any tips on cake making? I'm supposed to be making my sister's cake and she's very definite that she wants a proper cake and not cupcakes (or something easy!) but she would quite like to have different flavours for each layer.

Louis so sorry to hear your news. I've added you back on the list so add the details whenever you feel ready. I can't imagine how you must be feeling but I just wanted to give you a big hug and hope you get another BFP very very soon.

Ei so, today's the day... any news? Have you tested yet? Good Luck!

I am now the proud owner of two Clear Blue Digital tests which are winking at me naughtily from their box. Am going to try to hold out for a few more days though as I really don't want to get a BFN, they're so depressing and I've already seen loads of those so I know what they look like already.
