hi all

reallygrumpy i would have slapped her. Sounds like she just got preggers to trap her man. Hope your ok

deb glad your af wasnt too bad. I was worse on 50mg than 100mg goodness knows why lol. Just out of curiosity did you ov on 50mg? X

Stac I ov on my own any ways hun........better on 50mg but even more on 100mg. Im taking it because we are finding it hard ttc and hubby got lazy swimmers oh and I have endo and im 41 will also have something to do with it I should think

How are you feeling Stac.........hope your well and looking after yourself.
How is everyone else today? Hope your all well.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

oh right deb my brain is all over the place hun sorry. I am good thanks bit knackered but plodding on xx

stac - I'm not testing hon. Only on CD14. I think you meant Deb.

really grumpy i would have found it very hard not to slap her.

I've got a baby shower that I can't get out of but already feel on the verge of tears. What to do. I'm so het up about it that I have a glass of wine (soooo naughty I know).

I can't pull out cos although it's mostly family, very few friends have been invited so me not being there will be obvious! She already pissed me off this morning making out she was working harder than anyone else. Clure please don't think I'm being a cow but she had me searching for plans late last night & that she'd have to do the plans today & lo & behold I see someone else doing it.

Sorry for my rant but I'm just soooo emotional inside!!!!

please tell me others had a better day!

Fairy* dont do something you dont want to do...................I know its hard but maybe if you explain to her she will for sure understand hun. Or you could make her believe you are going then at the very last minute ring and tell her your poorly You could always send a gift eh Dont be sad just do whats best for you and not for others(got to look after number 1 eh) happiness. Now its make your mind up time your feeling or others not very good at putting what I mean into words but really hope you understand hun. xxx

fairy I am soo sorry, I dont know were my head is, full of broken bottles. I knew you had just recently had af, so have no clue why I wrote that. I agree with deb dont do something that will make you unhappy. Re: friend in work, some women play on the pregnancy thing for sympathy, just tell her you have your own work to get through. Really sorry again I am such an arse.

Hi to everyone else hope your all well xxx

Stac Think it's called pregnancy brain! lol.

Thanks girls. I did go. A friend took me. Gotta say there were no babies there & she seems to be the first one pg for ages so this is why the family are making a fuss. Wasn't the most exciting thing I've ever been to but glad I went! The first thing I did after was text my best friend to say I survived.

Deb was gonna pull out last minute but my friend that took me text to say she'd pick me up!

Think I've gotta try &v take it a bit easier. Stress, worry, running around like a blue arse fly & not eating regularly or properly means that my blood sugars are playing funny again!

Def need to look after number 1.

Think today's gonna be a better day!

xx

fairy glad your night went better than you expected. You defo need to concentrate on you, get yourself back in to a routine and have a bit of pampering. Think it can work wonders. X

Hiya ladies how are you? What you been up to this weekend? X

stac It's been well quiet on here lately...Hope everyone's ok.
Been doing school work all morning but done 2 loads of washing. Even got it out on the line so it'll smell sooooo fresh!
xxx

Thats been my day to be honest, wanted to get washing out but can't carry it myself due to pelvis and dp is away to golf. wonder where everyone is? xxx

Wish I could help.

Don't know. Maybe the sun has them out. I'm floating about cos I've got school work!

Hi Ladies

I'm back from my couple of nights away in Edinburgh, had a lovely time. It's such a beautiful city. Was nice to have a break away and eat lots of nice food and have a laugh with dp, managed to bd twice whislt away think i have ovulated as had ovary pains from Monday to Friday but dont't seem to be having any more pains. Should i still be bd'ing or can i rest a bit now that i think i've ovulated?

Deb sorry af got you in the end, it's horrible isn't it, hopefully this will be a better month.

Hope everybody is ok and had a nice weekend, the weather is gourgeous, can't wait for the summer

xxxxxxxxxx

Hello Ladies.
Hope you are all well.I am loving the sunshine we have had this weekend. I hope you have all had some as well Going to go for a stroll in the sun after i have finished posting.

Weekends seem to be the only time i can post at the moment. I really miss chatting to all you ladies

Fairy i am glad the baby shower wasn't as bad as you thought. I often find the run up to things far worse than the actual event!! My mind races and i end up stressing about scenarios that may never even happen!!

I have a pretty stressful week ahead. Firstly, i am having a trip to the dentist tomorrow Then on Tuesday i am having a drink with my oldest friend! May not seem too stressful but we have hardly had any contact since i lost my son. My choice. Some of you already know this story, so a synopsis for those who dont. I lost my son in the Febuary, she told me (actually i got a text) that she was pg 2 wks after the funneral sine then contact was very minimal. She came out with all the annoying things i didnt want to hear like "At least you have your DS!" "It wasnt meant to be!" And "you can try again!" (After 8 yrs she should know it wasnt that easy for us) the list goes on ........
Then on Friday we have our NHS 12 week scan and then in the afternoon the Nuchal scan. I have got into a bit of a panic that it could all go wrong like last time (see what i mean Fairy, stress before the actual event )

Love to all
xxxx

Pops sending your advice right back at ya hon! I think the scans gonna go well.

It's the 2nd anniversary of my friend losing her baby at the end of the month & I think all the feelings came flooding back. Especially when a friend of mine's best friend lost her baby last week. I never thought before how it effected me. Well superstitious now too!!!!

aww lady you could have visited I am in glasgow lol glad you had a nice trip, did you do all the tourist stuff? My aunt used to work in Edinburgh so we used to vist a lot. Hope you got the bding in especially with the ovulation pains

popsy know what you mean about stressing before the event, sure your scans will be fine. Take it your not looking forward to seeing your friend this week? that must have been very hard for you hun, and then to be told all the cliche stuff wouldnt have helped. Does she know your pregnant? The sun is lovely still a nip in the air but hey its scotland lol

thanks for the offer of help fairy dp gets to hang it up when he gets home lol

hi ladies

it has been a bit quiet here, I've been snowed under with school stuff, its taking up so much of my time and headspace at the mo,

fairy - glad babyshower went better than you thought, was thinking of you. I agree you need to focus on you, as stac said, bit of pampering and "me" time can often help!

stac - sympathies with the pelvis, remember not to over do it

pops - good to hear from you, sure you will be strong enough to face the week ahead - big breath in.....

lady - you sound positive, good news about the ovulation

hi Deb hows it going with you?

I've been doing more painting and school work, a friend took DD swimming with her little ones, (DD's best friends) so she had a ball. Off for a roast dinner now add fuel to my skinny ribs!

xxxxxxxbabydust xxxxxxxxxx

Thanks ladies, you always know just the right things to say

Not sure how i feel about meeting my friend. Its been a long time since we've met up and alot has happened in both our lives. I do miss her and i am sad that i am not part of her babies life, however hard that has been at times, but in all honesty i am not sure i can forgive her for the way she 'acted' after i lost our baby. Only time will tell i suppose. No she doesn't know i am pregnant, which in itself just shows how life has changed She is our DS godmother!

I am also annoyed with school as our Head teacher has not given me my PPA because i am out Friday with antenatal appointments, grrr she makes me cross. Wishin i never accepted this job!!

xcxxx

Stac i did think of you as remembered you live in Scotland, we didn't do to many tourist things as we're not really into that, we just like to go away and chill and go out for dinner etc, we did a bit of shopping in Edinburgh though and did go to the deep sea world lol, that was really the sort of place you take the kids to but as we don't have any of our own (dp has a little boy) it was just the two of us
We definately bd at the right time but we will see what happens, i don't think bd'ing and not lying down for half an hour counts though as we went straight out after we dtd.

Clure yeah i've been quite positive this week, i'm usually up and down with ttc. Mmmm roast dinner sounds good. Dp is making us spagetti bolognese

Popsy hope your week goes ok and i'm sure the scan will be all good.

Extra strong and sticky babydust

Hi all,
So busy this weekend with work that I haven't had time to post.

Fairy glad that the baby shower wasn't quite as bad as you thought

Stac sorry the pains are still there, all in a good cause though! Hope you are resting enough between washing!

Popsy I know a little bit how it feels to have a friend not be very friendly, one of my oldest friends was absolutely rubbish when Dad was dying, I am still furious with her about it all and have been avoiding her ever since. I hope the scans go OK, will have my fingers crossed.

Clure hope you are getting some time for yourself too, between all the work?

Lady glad the time away was good.

I am still surprisingly positive. Obviously 2 months of horrible mood swings on the Clomid have been succeeded by a whole month of positive moods (despite the Clomid.

DH has been getting heavy hints that I would like reflexology sessions for my birthday-hope he has paid attention.

How is everyone else today? Enjoying the nearly spring like weather?

reallygrumpy have just seen your post, no wonder you were angry wiht your colleague. Hope things get more bearable at work soon.

Pops PPA shouldn't be affected by hospial appointments. Do you get your full allowance? I haven't so I've started taking extra when I can!!!!
That is sad about your friend. I take my role as a godmother quite seriously. My godchildren are quite spread out - one up north, one in heaven, 2 about 40 mins away & 2 round the corner. I have one of my goddaughters in the summer for a week. Her little sister is too little to come yet. My niece & nephew are round the corner so they get spoilt all the time. I haven't seen my goddaughter up north much but I get hourly texts from her mum as she's my best mate lol.

Clure I've done as little as I can get away with doing. We've chilled out this afternoon & I'm feeling so much better.

8Ven* the weather is decieving cos it's gorgeous & bright (well was) but bitterly cold!!!! I'm thinking of getting DH to do a college course in reflexology so I can have on-call foot massages & hire him out to you lovely ladies cheap! lol

xxx

Def recommend reflexology Ven, as ive said before not sure if it was the thing that got me a BFP or not but it sure helped me relax!

Fairy i am working as an unqualified teacher, she promised me extra time to work with the ks1 manager and she'd continue to make sure i have my ppa on the avo i go to uni. This isnt happening! I went to she her Friday bout antenatal appointments and she wasnt happy!! Finding it difficult!

Fairy and Ven thanks for reply bout my friend. I've had a real mixture of emotions sadness, anger, jealousy etc etc. I really dont know if things will repair themselves in time, who knows! They wanted us to be godparents to their daughter, they asked when they told us she was pg. It hasnt been mentioned again, not sure theres been a time tho! Sorry to waffle but it helps to talk to you all.
Ven do you still see your friend? Did you ever tell her how hurt you were?

Aww hon, what course you doing? I'm 5 years in & not sure where I'm headed. Don't want to be a deputy or a head so have no idea where I'm headed!

xxx

Im in my final year of my degree, then planned to do the rtp. It was always my dream to teach. However when i lost my son i completely went to pieces. Lost all enthusiam for work, uni, socialising etc etc only wanted to be at home with my son and hubby! Only place i felt safe. So when i returned to work, kept my head down. 3 days before xmas she offered me a temporary post for 2 terms in a yr1/2 class. She promised me lots of support and ppa and nqt time, i havent had any nqt at all! I thought taking this job would give me a renewed enthusiasm for work. I love the kids and my class but its all the crap that goes with it!! Im sure you know what i mean Fairy. I suppose i wasnt ready for the extra stress. I think maybe my priorities have changed and work just isnt that important anymore!!

How are things at work for you fairy?
