Iggy - hormonal is good If it is too early for PMT to arrive, then it is a SYMPTOM.

Do you feel sick again today ? I've nearly lost my breakfast twice. Everything stinks

iggypiggy · 16/07/2009 11:47

Thank you for being positive jools [grin} am right misery today. Think is sign AF on way... but not sure of cycle length these days - last month was 33 days and today is CD30.

Am crying at the most stupid things - does happen before AF sadly... Guess might test again if no AF over weekend... but given up hope x

iggypiggy · 16/07/2009 11:47

btw jools excellent signs from you

Joolsiam · 16/07/2009 11:50

Well I was crying over stupid things yesterday, then ranting and steaming angry, then in tears again I can predict my PMT though, and it is usually depression rather than rage and it should arrive on Friday afternoon, not yesterday

In fact, I'm feeling so rough, I might head home at lunchtime ...

MrsKate · 16/07/2009 11:52

hi girls

4ever
i am soooo sorry for your bfn big hugs and loves . thinking of you xxxxxxx

gracie have a great time . we shpuld set up a group we love our matron xxx

im feeling better today dh is feeling better and he joked this am if im still ov he will wear a mask 2nite for bd that made me laugh lol imagineing him in a mask

VJaybigpants · 16/07/2009 11:58

lol, your dh sounds loads better mrskate, go for it, mask an all

iggypiggy · 16/07/2009 12:03

4ever right - am back from minor sobfest - just wanted to say that I can totally identify with what you are saying. Although also realise that with just one MC - I can't compare. I feel like I have left everything too late - like am too old.. But neither of us are really. You so deserve to get a sticky bean and soon. xx

mermaidspurse · 16/07/2009 12:28

It must be the weather coupled with too much pmt which noone should be having (note to mn towers please can we have a stamp foot smiley)

ig hindsight is very good for showing us what we should have done blah blah. But we had to meet the right dh, nightclubbing careers etc. You have so not left it too late and I know it all comes crowding in on you when the sympton spotting turns to af signs.
And 1 mc or 4 the pain, terror and grief is no diffferent honey but maybe the desperation just builds to dizzying heights

mrskate so glad your dh is feeling up to joking etc I was worried about you both yesterday.

vjay macaronni pie that sounds very scotish is it cos I have never heard of one.

The greenhouse is looking rather lovely, few empty bottles rolling around this morning and mls is snozzing in the massage chair still but thats fine

MummyLovesSadie · 16/07/2009 12:31

4ever so sad that you are feeling so despondent at the moment. You have always been an inspiration to me with your ability to pick yourself up after every set-back. Fingers & toes crossed that your cover will last for more than 9 months. What day are you on.... is it 23? It is still early if so.

Iggy the other day I thought of a brilliant reason why it is better to leave having children until you are older.... they are not going to bugger off & leave you when you are in your 40's, my lo's are going to be with me until I'm well into my 60's!

Jools it sounds like you are in tune with your body, are you going to do another test at the weekend?

Vjay enjoy your yummy pie & cake....oooooo if I was pregnant that is exactly what I'd be having but as it is I'm about to make another batch of Mermaid's watercress soup.

GG Enjoy Edinburgh, hope your car makes it!

Cupcake you are so like your name - very sweet & fluffy. That is a complement btw!

Hoping good news about your tests, you may not have got the answers you are looking for but at least the results might make you relax a bit?

Mermaid is it time to get the watering cans out yet?

Well Neeko says her boobs are looking massive but she is not going to test yet as she doesn't have any with her.

We so need some good news on this thread.

4everhopeful · 16/07/2009 12:36

Just wanna say how much I love you all xxxxxx Iv cried and had a downturned mouth most of today but you have made me smile with your love & support. Cupcake you said there are no words, but you have all found them & they are perfect. This 'life' malarky is everso complicated im just so glad Iv found you all to walk alongside me through this... Thank you from the bottom of my heart xxxxxxxxxxx Right back to head in sand work... xxxxxx

Joolsiam · 16/07/2009 12:38

Mermaid - am loving the mental pic of MLS asleep in the greenhouse I have to admit to consuming 2 large glasses of rose at the pub quiz last night - wouldn't mind a snooze in the chair myself !

Loving the idea of a greenhouse, nurturing all those beans, helping them to germinate and thrive

As for testing MLS - yesterday I told myself I would just wait until AF ws due. Today, I am feeling so odd, I am wondering if I ought to test again in the morning so I can notify the clinic if anything is happening. Not sure yet.

mermaidspurse · 16/07/2009 12:53

jools I so hope you are feeling odd for all the right reasons, I am going to hope untill the EW sings. Go home early it sounds a very good plan

mls You must have a stream with watercress beside it next to your house cos I can't find any in the shops now.

This weather is just makng me feel heavy and headachey and blahhhhh and the weather makes my customers in a real bad mood too so I have been speaking to grumpy men all morning which hasn't helped!

4ever onwards and upwards

cupcakefairy · 16/07/2009 13:00

Yay for Neeko's massive boobs! We need a BFP to lift our spirits.

I could really eat a macaroni cheese pie right now...

cupcakefairy · 16/07/2009 13:01

Ooh iggy and jools you should test together at the weekend if no signs of af

iggypiggy · 16/07/2009 13:29

mermaid you just started my sobfest again good job am in office of my own! You are so lovely.

mls yes - you are right

Yay for neeko's boobs

have to agree with 4ever am so glad I found you all - I don't talk to anyone else about this - have not told friends and my family don't mention it - so is so nice to have you all xxx

bluesatinsash · 16/07/2009 13:41

Afternoon All,

4ever - really hoping your BPN is purely down to testing too early... Also really hope your treatement covers you for life as having a deadline is so not good for your sub-concious when you're trying to relax. My GP who did my acupuncture back in March/April really laid it on thick to me re: relaxing and how important it was for successful implantation etc. etc. Easier said than done when all you want is a BFP. Its also probably why teenagers fall pg at the mere whiff of the oppostie sex as its the last thing on their minds.

Neeko - yay! for your big boobs, really feeling it for you this month...

Iggy and Jools fingers crossed for you two too..

Vjay - ah macaroni pie - I used to sell them when I worked in the bakers on a Saturday. Fine scottish artery hardening fettle - enjoy! I'm fine thanks for asking, can't see my fango anymore and anxious about impending 20-week scan but other than that sickness has subsided and my new double sided sleep pillow is the business at night for bump. Well done you for going terry nappy this time. I will still be disposble but will be offsetting my carbon footprint with breastfeeding .

MLS - how are you today?

Annie - if you're lurking, I've been thinking about you lots and hoping you're OK. Tried to message you on FB but your profile is inactive at the mo'. Really hope your second scan gives you more conclusive answers of the absolutely fine kind.

Gracie - you'll be trundling up to Edinburgh by now, enjoy DD, I saw them in 04 and my friend nearly peed herself when John Taylor looked our way .

mrskate - lovely to hear your DH bantering and offering to wear a mask - hey needs must!

cupcake - how are you feeling today re: new job etc.?

mermaid - so you have a greenhouse, I can picture the peaty earthy smell from here (with a whiff of wine) . My late beloved Grandpa had one and grew amazing tomatoes.

hoping - how are the hats coming on talented lady?

MrsKate · 16/07/2009 14:09

yeah i agree cupcake a bfp would be great.

i give up with my body no ov line today so maybe i ov when on nights
the mind boggles

MummyLovesSadie · 16/07/2009 14:13

Blue not too bad today thanks. Just about to go & spend the afternoon with the two friends I was ttc with last year, one of them has a two week old dd & the other is going to give birth in 10 weeks [happy]

bluesatinsash · 16/07/2009 14:23

Deep breath MLS - you can do it. Don't feel you have to be all stiff upper lip with them though OK?

mermaidspurse · 16/07/2009 14:27

blue hello rolly polly lady When is your 20 week scan so I can put it on my big white board? So glad that the sickness is less though, reckon you puked for Scotland. So macaroni pie is Scotish then? macaroni and pastry?

curly I am revving up to crossing myself up into knots for you tomorrow. Hope you too are ok and not being too ms.

kate that is an interesting thought, I wonder if your body would do that if you worked nights for a long time.

cheered up a bit after started making rhubarb, blackcurrant and apricot crumble I'm thinking clotted cream although its horrible enough weather to go back to custard. It has gone the most lovely ribenna colour yum.
Everyone slosh into the shops on the way home for rose and something sparkly to wear to all cheer ourselves up if we need it and to spoil ourselves just because

mermaidspurse · 16/07/2009 14:30

mls oh honey thinking of you, you will probably all sit and howl together.xxxxx

cupcakefairy · 16/07/2009 14:30

Oh MLS that will be hard, hugs to you, hope they are sensitive.

Hi blue I'm ok thanks..all feels a bit surreal as my manager is actually on holiday this week so once I've told her on Monday I will begin cr*pping myself... so far my family have all told me I'm making the right decision and am brave I don't know if I was hoping they'd talk me out of it or support me to be honest! Can't believe your 20 week scan is coming up soon, that's brilliant

I'm worried about annie too hope she is ok.

mermaidspurse · 16/07/2009 14:35

what did I miss with annie oing to look

VJaybigpants · 16/07/2009 16:14

mermaid yes the macaroni pie is a scottish thing, I'd never heard of them til I came up here and ds loves them, me I'm not that keen, like you say macaroni and pastry

blue I lost my fanjo months ago,I know it's there somewhere

mls I hope you have a nice time with your friends, it's the thought of it that seems worse sometimes, once you're with them I bet it will be ok

Just been to mothercare and got 24 terry nappies , got them out and I have no idea how to fold them, so am about to google it...thank god for google

4everhopeful · 16/07/2009 16:57

MLS echo Vjay that its prob worse thinking about it, found that with my mate with close edd..

Just a quick one to say thinking sticky thoughts for Curlys scan tomorrow, sure with your barfathon you got yourself a superhealthy sticky one! Let us kno when you come out!

Thanks again for today girls.. off for a big glass of wine xx
