Emmsy's in weeble land....Where weeble's wobble but don't fall down!

[barbiebigpants]

Do you like our new home?...

Here's to another happy thread!

The fun, the laughter and the tears will get us through, and help the weeble stay forever upright

Hello all sorry for mini meltdown the other day just really wanted to have a bfp before what would have been my due date next week guess I just needed to get rid of some pent up emotion. Noit had chance to catch up so promise I will do tomorrow.

Just felt I had to answer what Jools said before. I kind of know what your going through. Ever since mc dh has been thinking about adoption- don't get me wrong I have nothing against the concept and have always been open to it but guess there is a deep part of me that wants/ needs a child that is mine biologically. Dh is willing to see of the clomid works and if not then wants to apply for adoption and I have agreed to that as long as I can still try to get pregnant naturally. Dh says constantly when are we going to have a baby? Drives me mad but after many evenings of talking through the issues this is the best compramise we have reached because I am just so scared that even if I get pregnant again I could mc again but feel I can't give up trying until the bitter end. Dont't know if my ramblings help Jools but I hope they do. Its hard for dh's to fully understand I know but recently trying to get my head around the whatever will be will be concept

Sorry for trhe rambling normal service will resume tomorrow

Hugs to you all xxx

Evening all.

Barbie we can always rely on you for a laugh!! Surely that's just teasing your DH when the doc told you to abstain. Oh, and enjoy the stubble next week - itchy

LBM Glad the spotting has stopped. Hope no one notices the lack of wine. I have been known to spill a glass to avoid drinking it. Something I'd never do when not pg.

Blue glad you're impressed by the FFs. I'd gladly swap.

Vjay Nice to hear from you. 6 week growth spurt already? Time is really flying. Give alex a kiss from this cyber auntie.

jools some good advice on here tonight. Hope it helps. Remember to vent on here as and when required.

Iggy sounds like a good plan to me. As soon as you find yourself again, you'll be up the duff in no time.

Bakingqueen this thread is made for meltdowns so never apologise. I really hope you and your DH get your dream soon.

Forgot to say earlier that my 20 week scan appointment came in today. It's November 12th. 4 weeks tomorrow -eek! Hope my nerves last til then.

Hi girls

Vjay lovely to hear from you, and love the new nickname Ajay prob a tad better than Optimus

Igs hey, maybe February 2010 should be a repeat of 2009 for you and dh massive hugs to you girl; I know it must be beyond crap thinking about upcoming edd and not being pregnant

Blue I'm a modest C cup too..though they are definitely getting bigger and dh is very pleased about it! men!

Neeko 20 week scan in 4 weeks! Just can't believe it!

BQ don't apologise, as Neeko says! Hey maybe if you adopt you will get pregnant just like Charlotte in the Sex & the City movie (yes, in my head we all live in a movie and we will all get our happy endings!)

Spoke to my Mum tonight and she basically had a go at me for being so negative about pregnancy and said 'well I'm excited about it and have started telling people'. Am so upset with her why do people just not get it? I know she is just excited for us but she should respect what I asked surely meh.

evening lovelies. Don't expect anyone will be up at this hour but just wanted to say hello. I'm missing you all

hey jools it made me sad seeing you go commando even though I know it is a positive step in getting control of your life back. I still have really high hopes for you - I hope that you will get accidentally up the duff really soon I know men can find it really hard when they don't have an instant way to fix things so sometimes they back away but maybe if you and dp take a couple of months and just enjoy being with each other things will turn out alright. Maybe agree a list of nice things to do with each other before christmas. Sorry if that is rubbish advice, I just wish I could say something to make it easier xxx

I reckon so many of you starting your cycle together is setting us up for a bumper month of bfps. Hope October is a total shagfest for you and iggy and moon and mermaid and baking That stupid AF visiting you all totally sucks (does she have nothing better to do?)

baking don't ever feel that you have to apologise for having a meltdown. We've all had them girl I think starting the adoption process sounds like a good way to speed things up happening naturally and at least u would have options. My friend adopted last year and it is the best thing that ever happened to them

iggy and moon it all seems so unfair. Hang in there just a while longer - and stick with those positive thoughts iggy. It will happen and I bet that we will get more good news within the month. Have some massive hugs from me and go spoil yourself with nice wine and yum cheese xxxx

mermaid don't you dare get paranoid about too much posting , I love your posts! I think we all just go through crazy busy patches and then don't post for a while cos it takes so long to catch up I know it's either a feast or a famine with me

neeko I did melt hearing about the newborn you held. Very impressed with your ( . )( . ) too

4ever you lovely lady I am still beaming every time I think of you and that snuggly little bean that is making you so sick. keep those feet up and eat what you can If it's any consolation I just puked up a big mac

cupcake thanks for the update on xfactor. I really missed watching it this weekend. Who was knocked out? hope the AF type pains have calmed down. I get them on and off and got them loads up to 12 weeks. It's all that stretching going on down there Grrrr at your mum but I'm sure she just wants you to enjoy your pregnancy. My sister annoyed me in the same way by stating I needed to start treating this like a normal pregnancy, which wasn't very helpful at 10 weeks when I MC'd before at nearly 12 but they mean well honey xxxx

blue hope the heartburn has calmed down. I've started carrying around those minitubes of gaviscon in my handbag lol at your couch sniffing

lbm still so delighted for you I cannot believe that you held off testing till after 7 weeks, good girl, the first few weeks are the hardest so at least you are closer to 12 weeks now Try not to worry about the spotting, some people just seem to get it, I got a little in the beginning too.

mls hope the potty training is going well. Come back soon

barbie lol at you and your grade 1 ladies bits don't worry we won't tell dh where his trimmer has been!!!

Phew... that took ages to catch up. Nearly bedtime

lots of love buddha and to our new mums VJ lion and sabs and anyone I haven't mentioned xxx

Morning!

Hey curly is lovely to have one of your mamoth posts again! You always say the nicest things. But you forgot to tell us how you are? xx

morning all

hope everyone is ok . sorry not been on or writing much .

neeko on the boob talk im a 40d already !!!! could of smacked the woman who measured me lol.

hello to all i need to catch up ive been so tired since going back to work .

dont worry bout gracie she is fine 25 weeks now she is so busy at work the matron is wearing her out

Afternoon all,

DS has decided he's tired (that's what an hour at soft play does ) so I've managed to have a lunch of old, sitting at the PC - bliss!

mrsmkate - when I first read your post I though you actually hit the woman with your boobs yesterday . Glad to hear Gracie is fine.

Hi Curly - I get my Gaviscon on prescription - two massive bottles one for work and one for home. I've bought the sachets before and they are v. handy . You thought of any girls names yet? I'm convinced I'm having a girl and have 3-4 names picked out but one run away favourite which I'm still trying to convince DH about. Of course I'll have another boy at this rate .

cupcake - sympathise at your feelings about your Mum telling people - grrr. Know she means well but we are beyond paranoid in the first 12 weeks and telling people doesn't help! My Mum was sworn to secrecy and we only told my Dad and DH's Mum and Dad at 11 weeks and four scans later...

bakingQ - your DH sounds very pragmatic and organised and looking into adoption gives you both something to focus on other than ttc.

Neeko - four weeks today!! Are you finding out the flavour? They don't tell you in Stirling but think it differs across Scotland as Vjay found out although think she had to go private for her 20-week scan as they don't do them up in Inverness. Hope the four weeks fly in, its a busy time with Halloween/Bonfire night/unwrapping your new couch etc. so keep yourself busy .

I got my $190 (my PC won't do pound signs) Health in Pregnancy grant today which is going towards paying for the hall wallpaper .

barbie - any re-growth yet?

Off to secure more chocolate.... to all x

bakingqueen Life can be so bloody harsh I am all knotted up for you both. It is awful and exhausting going through months of torment. The biological urge is obvious we all know that to our various costs and I so,so hope that things begin to iron themselves out. Thinking of you.xxxxx

jools I have been pondering and am still pondering and will fijd the time later to ponder with you In the meantime go get an indian head massage I feel fab and can move my neck for the first time properly in a year.

barbie ha! I am also surprised you can see down there My dh did this, forgot to put the guard back on and managed to shave a tram line across the top of his head at him at 11 at night when we were off to a posh hotel the next day. Poor man his face was a mixture of 'oh my god she is going to kill me' to 'oh my god where is my hair' so we had to make him into a sort of bruce willis for the weekend

opps the time - love to curly mrskate neeko cupcake ig moon et al especially 4everduvetgirl hope you have survived another day of daytime tele and magazine flicking and not feeling quiet so sick.

Yeah its busier...i like it!

Curly i was awake when you posted but on my way to work! So how are you apert from sick from the maccy d's? I find mc donalds is just yummy at the moment although im in shock that you put on a lb a week from week 20...so another 20 to go, i really will be a weeble! Trying to stick to healthy options and doing as much excercise as my poorly heart will allow, which is just about walking the dog at the mo.....
So have you any names??? come on and share with us!

kate 40d gosh i thought i was porno pammie style boobies! My boobs feels soooo heavy, i hope the other 20lbs dont go to that area, ill be walking like a hunch back!

blue £190???? i dont get anything over here nada...zilch...zero.... As for the regrowth im trying not to think about it, although dh first words today was how are you baldly? And yes i did tell him what i had done....although he wasnt at all surprised as he is used to me doing random silly things!

bakingqueen im with cupcake on this one....in every film and every book i have ever read the women always falls pregnant while in the process of adoption, and often end up with 2 children least it will feel like you are doing something and make take your mind off ttc for a little while?

jools my heart is aching for you....i wish we could help in someway kidnap dp until he understands take your dp out for a lovely meal and talk to him, either way you have to know, and armed with the information you will be in stronger position to make the all important decision.

mermaid im glad im not the only silly one, lol at your dh! ....least its in a place where no one will see....only dh

neeko the sex ban was lifted after the 16 week scan, tbh i think that is the main reason dh pushed for a scan....his first question was whether the placenta had moved? translating in 'is it ok to have sex again' Thankfully the doctor understood what he was getting at so he didnt have to be so blunt!

4ever im joining you on the sofa....i feel crap. Little sleep last night after dreaming dh was going to leave me as i was getting fat and letting myself go woke to a empty bed and freaked out, until i remembered he was away then the dog barked, freaking me out....then the baby was kicking....and then i needed to wee...and wee...and wee....and oh you get the picture!

Hi to everyone else, im curling up on the sofa and trying to get comfortable, im around all day tomorrow if anyone else is?

Happy weekends to you all from Dubai xxx

Hi girls, yay the thread has a busy feel again! Thanks for sympathy re: my gossiping mother! Still really upset with her which I know is irrational..meh. I did give her a stern word of 'you never went through this' and she sheepishly said 'I know' so I think she got that I was upset.. meh. 2 weeks tomorrow til scan

Hi Curly ooh yes let's talk names! You too Blue! I have been trying to convince dh on Teddy for a boy (Short for Edward which he could of course become as he got older!) but dh is having none of it.. then the other day we were watching How I Met Your Mother & Ted's mum called him 'Teddy Bear'...dh turned to me and said 'THAT'S why we're not calling our child Teddy!' haha! oh well.. there are loads of others we do agree on (though does feel wrong to be talking names this early )

Yes, Neeko will you find out the flavour? Did you with dd?

Well, hopefully I will pop in tomorrow girls but then away for the weekend for my birthday, yippeee. x

Hello. How lovely to come on and have so much reading to do including one of Curly's mammoth posts I love it!

Cupcake I have to admit at being a little at your mum. I know she's excited but it's your news to share as and when you want to. we've told everyone that we're not telling DD until after the 20 week scan and - so far- everyone has been really good about it. Tell your mum it's only 3 weeks and it means a lot to you. I've also been told by several people to be more positive but I couldn't until I heard the awful news about my friends' baby and suddenly my bean became a person.

Curly so nice to hear from you. hasn't Curlygirl (hope I got that right) started letting up on the sickness hormones yet. Just cos she'll be completely adorable, doesn't mean that type of behaviour's allowed

Mrskate glad to see it's not just me with the humongous boobs Please tell Gracie I'm asking for her.

Iggy Glad to see you're still posting. I hope you're feeling a bit better today.

Blue Hi. Not sure if we can find out the flavour but know I don't want to know. I think a boy this time would be brilliant, but am equally excited at the idea of having two wee girls. Looking forward to seeing some chubby arms and legs at the scan though.Yay to the £190. Have had a few daydreams about how I'll spend mine Do we get a sneak preview of the favourite names?

Mermaid hello busy lady. Hope you're well. Has your DH given you your first appraisal as his employee yet?

Barbie hadn't realised the ban was lifted.Bet your DH can't wait to be home Has your placenta moved now?

Got a bargain mat dress today for my nephew's christening in 4 weeks -£15!

I was really shocked to hear about that pg 17 year old who died from swine flu. I'm so uncertain about the vaccine. What do the rest of you think?

Hope all the rest of you are well.

Morning barbie are you awake yet??? I'm guessing noone else is. I'm taking it easy this evening - was meant to be going out for dinner but gave it a miss after puking (before I even ate ) Me and the bump are enjoying our hotel night in though Hope you are feeling a bit better. Make sure you don't overdo it

lol cupcake at your teddy bear I think dh has a point! DH and I generally disagree totally on names. He really wants the name chloe but it's just too common these days (no 7 on the top 100 names in the UK!) Hey what are your plans for your birthday? Which day is it?

mrskate 40d is impressive . My boobs have grown so much that when I take my bra off, the underside of each is really hot and red just from the pressure of the weight I guess!!! Take it easy and don't be working too hard.

blue no name agreed as yet, we had only picked boys names! Maybe if you have a boy we should swap How long more for you? I've lost track of weeks. How do we get this £190 btw? the midwife mentioned it at my booking in but I forgot to ask her last time.

mermaid i'm picturing you with brucie. I've had a crush on him since moonlighting days

I'm doing really well thanks iggy looking forward to going home soon STill puking most days but overall I feel so much better and the bump is really popping out now. I'll be in maternity clothes very soon but for the moment my fat clothes are still fine

Hey neeko I love the name curlygirl. And yes she is trouble, but I'm crazy about her already. It's really just since we had the second scan that I'm seeing her as a person. If anyone could see me talking to my bump they'd call me crazy but I can't help it. Lots of belly rubbing going on . I've been reading up on this swine flu vaccine too. My instincts say no but it's so hard to know what to do

moon are you doing okay honey? I'm thinking of you xx

talk to you all soon. take care lovelies

curly ive been up for hours!!!!! Changed the bed, 2 loads of washing, walked the dog, cleaned the kitchen and washed my hair...phew im done in! Off to the pool for an hour of relaxing before i finish the others things i have been putting off!

curlygirl baby!

Be back soon to catch up xxx

Morning.
Just a quick post.
Curly all your talk of bonding brought a lump to my throat. Won't be long until Curlygirl is in your arms.

Barbie you put me to shame! I'm still in my jammies though I have fed and dressed DD, made the beds, put a wash on and hoovered downstairs. Time to get dressed methinks.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning everyone, first apologies for lack of postings, RL is so hectic at the minute and have had poorly DS and DH to look after, now ive got awful cold, still got intermittent ear infection (seeing my GP every fortnight for this, trying different AB,s and steroid drops to try and shift it), and trying to get sorted for DS 4th birthday party tomorrow, ive took the easy way out and booked the local soft play-couldnt cope with entertaining 18 wild 4 year olds in my home. All i have to provide are the cake/candles and party bags-sorted! Will be £140 lighter but wont have the tidying up to do after

Love to all, sorry for lack of individual posting, got to dash. XX

Hello Ladies!
Cupcake It's my birthday too this weekend! Hurrah - kids going to lovely friends for sleepover, we're going out for dinner. Nice and early as I'm sooo tired and falling asleep at dinner is not the plan!
Annie Hope the party goes well - I'm sure it will and that the ear infection clears up soon. My DS had one for 6 months when he was one and it was a nightmare, the GP had no idea and we had to refer him to a specialist who cleared it up in one visit!
Barbie you are making me fel bad but once I get of the computer I am going to reseed the lawn ( and spike and dress it!!) Lucky it's a small lawn!!
*curlys coming home soon - hurrah!! I got back last night after 4 days away and I have never been more relieved to be home - untill DS decided to jump on my tummy this morning!! I really am not worried about the spotting - being very fatalitic - if it is meant to be , it will be fine! And if not, well at least I've been there before.

*neeko good bargain spotting! I don't know about the vacine either. Would want to know more about it and I think probably not. Think I got away with the wine the other day too - claimed to be too tired to drink early doors when it would have been obvious and at dinner was with mainly non observent men!
MrsKate thanks for the update on both your bra size and GG - Matron is obviously making up for all the time she let gracie have off in the early days!

Now - sorry for anyone I've missed. Love to all, esp the lurkers and thanks again for all the lovely messages!
Must garden!!

cupcake have a lovely birthday

annie I rteckon £140 is a small price to pay rather than having 18 high 4year olds at home. Hope it all goes well and that ds and dh are both on the mend. Not long to go before you finish work now surely?

lbm I have been thinking about you lovely smiley strong lady and how up beat you seem to be and have a lot of admiration for how you are coping with the waiting game.

Have a lovely birthday

curly hopefully you will stop feeling sick soon. you made me think of Bruce Forsyth for a minute there!

4ever Tuesday is not far away now and the 24th is not too far off the radar and I know that feels like the biggest mile stone. Have a lovely horizontal weekendxx

barbie your dh must be nearly home thats been a long time - thought you are meant to be taking things easy? that was a lot of rushing about this morning!

Have great weekends everyone especially all the birthdays xx

Hello all hoping your all well today nice and sunny here so mood on an up just 1 more clomid tablet for this month then fingers crossed

Curley - sorry to hear you have been vomiting hoping it eases soon it will be worth it all when you are holding baby curley in your arms

happy birthday girls!

Hope you all have fab weekends, i will be spending some much needed time with dh so might not be posting for a few days ill lurk though....

mm hope your dd birthday goes well, brave you for having it at home

annie i think you made the right choice re having the party else where! get them all hyper on sweeties and party bag and send them all home to unsuspecting parent!
Hope the ear infection goes soon....

did everyone lke my link to the curlys baby...looking into my crystal ball is saw her......ha ha

I am finally sitting down, i went shopping for some more clothes as none of my bottoms fit...it was very successful and i came away with linen trousers, shorts, 2 x dresses and a top...all in the sale bar the top! So now i can go out in public!

Oh and i saw mothercare had a sale on so sneaked in....ended up really wanting to buy something (the first thing i have brought) found a tiny bib saying i love daddy and had to have it it was soooooo emotional, ended up crying at the till blaming something in my eye to the poor sales guy....ran out of there so fast....now baby has so many bibs!

Love to you all xxx

Haha Barbie, love the prediction of Curlygirl ...also LOVE the cake, thanks!
My bday is tomorrow Neeko, LBM is yours same day?? Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Dh is currently sneaking around being very secretive saying 'don't come in the lounge' then 'don't go in the kitchen'..what's going on! haha feeling quite spoilt today cos my salon gave me a free birthday wash-and-blow-dry so I have lovely styled hair now
Neeko I was at my Mum too. I didn't have the heart to tell her how upset I was but have gone about it to dh ever since! Might chicken out and get my sister to tell her it was out of order...just don't want it to get to a few weeks' time and when I tell people they're all like 'oh yeah your Mum told me!' anyway, I'll stop going on about it now!

Ooh annie enjoy the clearing-up free party wink] rubbish about ear infection

Curly I loved what you said about curlygirl too, beautiful. can't wait til she arrives!

Hi mermaid I thought of Bruce Forsyth too, haha!

Had another mini-meltdown re dh's job this morning but determined to put that aside and enjoy the weekend with my love family

Wow thats what i like to see! Thread back on full chatterbox mode! YAY! Have been lurking & just got new phone that says thread to big to read [SHOCK] so may have to change it! Now, where to start....?!

Cupcake at name choice! DH & I have been set on Teddy since before we were married! DH is massive spurs fan & its after Teddy Sheringham!! I love it after nearly 5 yrs of it growing on me! We have girls name set too! Happy birthday to you for the weekend & the next 2 wks will be here before you know it (4ever does best to believe that too!) xx

Barbie had to laugh at your clippers tale & also confess that I havent stopped waxing, & also invested in ladyclippers years back & never use the guard! I like to be preened & pruned if you know what I mean! Sooo glad DH is back 2moro - you make the most of his return!

Hey lovely Neeko at your big (.)(.) Mine are a measly b cup but soooooo sore at the mo! Hows the decorating & the grand unveiling of sofa? I got a lovley terracotta 3 & 2 piece when I moved here about 8yrs ago & still fab, wipeable, practicle & lush, tho the leather smells long gone now! xx Im also a little freaked at the news & swine flu vacine debate?!?!? Shall ask consultants but after 4mc gut screams no to it..

Blue hello up there! Whats all this about pregnancy grants? Are you entitled doon souf too?

Bakinqueen all crossed this month but intrigued by thoughts on adoption. I always had the back up plan in my head that if it doesnt work out for us (& will try another several times god forbid) that eventually we WILL be parents, even if its down the adoption route. We all know what its like in the supermarket - cute kids everywhere giving big grins, can you imagine a poor parentless cutie asking 'will you be my mummy?' It makes me melt & something Id still consider even if all is well...

Jools to read some of your posts, I really agree removing the pressure has to help & thats prob what DH thinks he is doing, echo that you should take time out, stop counting days, have a break til new year, enjoy each other, take a hol, do different things, go on dates - have YOU time, & then re-adress all options, tests, clomid, even IVF. As said having lots of back up plans has always been in my agenda... Sending a HUG xx

Thanks for all the wise kind words lovely Mermaidshellcollector yep, felt a weeny threatened by idea that first ante natal is on 24th & never actually made it to any prev 4 booked apts so now doubly scared for next scan on tues!!!! One day at a time.... tick tick tick.... Hope all is well with you & still praying & hoping you know! Always will.. xx

Curly lovely to hear from you lots again! Im & a bit scared you are still so sick! Beautiful that you are bonding & so in love with your Curlygirl When are you back home?

Annie good move with your DD party!

LBM hey close due date buddy! Still awestruck you held off testing so long! Im officially 7wks today tho hosp are saying Im 8wks on tues!!!

Big wave to the lovely Iggs really holding out for you, and for Hoping & Moon too! xxx

Mrskate double and at your (.)(.) too btw!!!!! Big wave to Gracie when you speak to her!

Vjay hope the exams went well! Big cuddle to baby Ajay! xx

Sabs hope Saara is letting you get some sleep & mum is still helping out! Big wave to Lion too xxx

Well - Im proud at my mammoth post contribution to our busy little thread again! Spent most of last night awake feeling sick, I have no pattern at all so panic when Im ok! Still v weak & in bed til 11ish then sofa til 3ish, bath, back to sofa while DDDDDDH does everything, then bed by 9-10ish for 12hr sleeps! Crazy dreams, sore boobs, bleeding gums & cant face most food so all good I guess! Willing tues to be here... Scared of ante natal on 24th as never got to one before Panic factor growing as normally goes wrong between wk 8-9 & hosp put me at 8wk on tues (tho I know Im 7wk today). So next hurdle, get past scan on tues, next hurdle ante natal wk 2moro, next hurdle get past wk 9 & 10 scan, then hurdle of nuchal scan cos no3 had big abnormality.. Im not obsessing tho, trying to keep up with the PMA & cos of the yukky weak sickiness its just a question of getting through each day in slightly zombiefied state so really not dwelling too much....

Anyway lovelies! I'll be lurking later if silly new pho lets me! Great to see so much chat again & apologies for those I missed! xxx

Hello Cupcake!!! Sounds like you're getting spoilt! Good! Agree maybe get your sis to also mention how you feel to your mum, even our dearest that havent experienced this just wont ever really get it sadly... My mum just dont get how rough I feel, & keeps saying oh hope you feel better soon & im like - NO mum its good to feel sick if it goes I will panic! Let your mum make it up to you on your birthday tomorrow!

Also forgot to say Happy Birthday to LBM!!

Hi lovely positive 4ever you will get through all tose hurdles and we'll be here holding your hand!
I LOVE that you love the name Teddy too just HOW cute would a little Teddy be. I'm glad someone might get to use it anyway

Right, off in 20 mins so must do some packing and nail-painting

Lovely 4ever-im so glad to hear you are feeling really sick, tired sore boobs etc, all really good positive signs. As for the bleeding gums, get yourself some Corsodyl mouthwash, perfectly safe in pregnancy, may stain teeth a little but if you do drink tea or coffee, rinse mouth out well before you use mouthwash, may be worth seeing your dentist/dental hygienist for a scale and polish, should calm bleeding gums down.
Re the £190, its available to all pregnant women in the UK, just need a signed form from your midwife, available after you get to 25 weeks, takes approx 2 weeks paid directly into bank account.
Bless your lovely DH, mine is great too

*LBM-Sorry, i had forgotten to say so happy for you on your BFP

cupcake-Have a lovely birthday,and hope DH job situstion improves soon.

Jools-Thinking of you sweetie, as others have said, it may be all you need, just to take the pressure of thinking about TTC, and it just happens, i really hope so. Men just dont really 'get' how we feel sometimes, no matter how lovely, caring etc they are.

VJaySabsand Lion-hope our cyber nephews and niece are doing well and you new mummies arent too tired.

Barbie-Glad you had good shopping spree. Bless you for having a tear in Mothercare.Glad your DH is home soon.

Neeko-Not long till your 20 week scan, the 4 weeks will go by quickly,hopefully. Re the swine flu vaccine i was adamant i wasnt going to have it, but after the recent news of the pregnant girl dying, and the girl who died shortly after giving birth, im rethinking

Iggy hoping and moon-keeping everything crossed for you lovelies that you get your BFP,s soon.

BakingQueen-Fingers crossed for you this month too, you all so deserve it. Does the clomid make you feel any different, i mean more nauseous/tired etc?

Mermaid-LOL at your DH, bless! Hope you Ok, and working with DH is still going well.

Big waves to Blue MrsKate* GracieCurly Buddha MM and anyone else lurking.
