Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

.,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'- .,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',.

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

Oh Shelly i couldnt be more pleased for you if i tried im crying too. You miust be so excited and scared too. Please stick around and keep us informed of everything. I want to drive down to heathrow now and give you a great big hug. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(((((((((((((((((xxx)))))))))))))))))))))

I have had some really rough days and been in and out of Docs and a trip to Hosp. The long and short of it is there is no quick fix to gall stones. They dont operate when there is a flare up un bloody beliavable. I could be in pain for a least 3 months and they dont give a poo poo. I have to learn to live with it and change my diet even though i dont eat fatty foods and even Alpen sets it off.

There is NO WAY i am waiting 3 months or more to concieve so im still going to try though maybe not this month.

But nothing can get me down now cos Shelly is preggers Hooray!!!!!

petunia · 07/08/2005 09:06

Shelly- congratulations

Maddyd- I'd been hoping you were OK, hadn't seen you on here for a few days. Good for you deciding not to wait. I think sometimes you've got to say "I'm fed up with my body giving me grief all the time, I want to get pg now!"

maddyd · 07/08/2005 10:32

Thanks petunia. There is no way i can wait three months maybe longer. Im just going to have to learn to live with it and change my diet even more.

Shelly where are you???????

Hellkat how you doing? Have you tested agian yet?? Youve had such a rough time with your af's i hope it turms out good for you

shelly24 · 07/08/2005 11:36

Hi mads,i'm here
Just emerged from bed cos i was EXSAUSTED last night and just want to sleep,sleep,sleep!!zzzzzz
Soz to hear about those blooming galstones!(what a pain in the a**e that is!!!)Try not to let it delay your ttc too much though,
Thanks for your lovely message mads,it made me cry too!!,i won't let myself get too excited at the mo,but i am pretty scared!!!,...even though we've been told nothing like what happened with Rhys will happen again,i still get negative thoughts,and prob won't be 100% until i hear that baby cry and hold it in my arms!!!
Its gonna be a long road for me i think,but i'll hopefully try to enjoy it abit more as time goes on...especially after i have a scan and see that little bean on the screen!!

maddyd · 07/08/2005 12:27

Toattlu understanable Shelly. God im so pleased for you, really i am. Wishing you a healthy and sucessfull pregnancy and can i be god mother please

maddyd · 07/08/2005 12:27

Xena · 07/08/2005 14:56

Hi Girls. We have been camping since fri night and we had a great time!! Lovely weather for it.

SHELLY WOOOHOOO Congratulations.

HellKat · 07/08/2005 16:19

Sounds wonderful Xena!! Great weather for it.
Maddy- yep tested again, bfn. Woke early this morning (as per) tired, and stayed tired all day. feeling queasy too so definitely not pg as I never get queasy then. Endo is killing, kept me awake all night so pretty sure af will be back (only been off since monday ). Will be testing again Monday as that will be 10dpo but don't think it will be positive (got the tests so may aswell use em eh? lol).
How's everyone?
Really flagging here, just want hot bath and bed!

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 07/08/2005 17:20

Afternoon chaps, just been catching up on some of the thread. Welcome Aunytnon, sorry about your m/c Hopefully your af will appear quickly and you can getting on with ttc!

Sorry to hear about the gall stones Maddyd! Ouch! You hang in there ttc though, things happen at funny times

Having a really heavy af. This is my second since the m/c and I expected the first one to be the heaviest, maybe that's why ttc didn't work this month as I still needed to clear everything through. Anyway, I'm desperately pouring over my diary, working out dates. It seems I have a long cycle so I'll have to keep dh locked in the bedroom this month to make sure we catch the right moment, tough job

petunia · 07/08/2005 19:43

Evening all,
How's your weekend been? I'm feeling slightly stressed at the moment. Our next door neighbours are Turkish and the've gone to Turkey for 6 weeks. Their Mercedes has an alarm which goes off when the battery's getting flat. It's been 3 weeks since they went so the car's not moved in that time. The bloody alarm's been going off since 3ish this afternoon. It isn't too loud, bit like a house alarm that's several streets away. But it's the same every year, they leave the car and this alarm goes off. Beginning to wonder whether the car's insured against mad, ranting neighbour with an axe!

As far as ttc (trying to think calm, relaxing thoughts now!), think I ov last Sunday/Monday. AF isn't due til a week on Wednesday. Getting so many aches and pains, I feel premenstrual already!

Have a nice evening everyone. Think I'm off to lie down in a darkened room! Catch you all tomorrow.

nicmum2boys · 07/08/2005 21:21

Petunia, can't you call the police, and say the alarm's going off? I would plead ignorance and say I thought it must have been broken into. Surely if you tell them you know your neighbour's away and you have good reason to think it's been broken into they will have to come out and do something? Failing that environmental health will probably help. I used to live over the back of a factory which had an air extraction system that made a constant hum, not really loud, just enough to get on your nerves though. They were really good, came round had a listen, wrote a letter, and the factory had to switch it off, which they did (was bliss when it stopped!) Hope you can manage to relax, I know what it's like.

Well, I thought I was oving soon, had ewcm a few days ago, but all seems to have gone away, and I haven't had my usual day of tummy ache I get with ov. Trouble is my cycle is so messed up, I spotted for a week and a half last month before AF got going properly, so not sure where I am cd wise. Knowing my luck I'm not going to ov this month. Guess all I can do is wait and see, and keep up the bd in the hope of hitting the right time (oh, such a hardship lol).

auntynon · 07/08/2005 21:38

Been working all weekend, v tired, day off tommorrow - hurray! It's now a full week since m/c, still sad but a little better than I was. Already feeling inpatient regarding ttc again, hope AF doesn't take too long. Congrats again Shelly.

HumphreysCorner · 07/08/2005 22:11

Evening ladies

Back from Brands Hatch and had a lurvely time-managed to escape paying for the evening meal and drinks cos the waiter must have put the wrong room number down and who am I to argue?

Petunia-my AF is due a week on Thursday (18th) so we will be testing round about the same time. Like you I feel symptoms already.

HellKat-hope you have some good news soon. (Whispers-been having a little squeeze tonight to check the flow of milk )Yes, I know I am loopy.

Bit tired so I will wish you all a good night.

(((((xxxxx)))))

HumphreysCorner · 07/08/2005 22:13

Meant to say

LOL petunia-fab image of you with an axe!

wishingchair · 08/08/2005 09:38

Hi all - just popped in to check on you all. And shelly - big congratulations to you xxxx !!! I can imagine how hard this pregnancy will be (I'm longing for it and dreading it in equal measures!) but I'm sure you'll get so much support. Take it easy!

Not had chance to catch up one everyone else but got my fingers crossed that this month will bring more baby news. My af is due week on thurs but that's based on 28 day cycle and mine is more like 25/26 so that makes it week today/tomorrow. No symptoms of anything yet - although my left nip is soooooo sensitive, almost like a mozzy's bitten me on it. Weird eh? Could mean pg then again, could mean I got bitten by a mozzy!

shelly24 · 08/08/2005 09:40

Maddy and c.p.....i offically name you my little beans virtual godmothers!!!
I couldn't have got through what i have without you,and look whats come out of it in the end
I think the world of you both!!!
speak to you soon.x.x.x.x.x.
(lots and lots and lots and lots of baby dust both your ways!!!.x.x.x.x.x..x)

shelly24 · 08/08/2005 09:42

thanx wishingchair,it will be alittle difficult but i'm starting to be more positive about the whole thing!.x.x.

spub · 08/08/2005 09:59

Shelly,
Fabulous news. Absobloodylutely marvellous. Gives us all a big smile and some hope!
Understand that you will be delighted and terrified in equal measure but if holding your own baby is like doing the Grand National then you have now cleared the first hurdle! We'll be cheering you on as you go!
Have been off the boards for a few days so have lost the plot somewhat with where everyone's at. Apologies if I am not posting more tailored messages based on how you are all getting on. Hope to catch up better over the next couple of days (when I am at work and can access the pages more easily than at home ..._)

My next AF is due on my (ahem) 35th birthday on Aug 31st. Wouldn't it be a nice pressie if it didn't show up???

petunia · 08/08/2005 11:10

Morning all,
Not a great nights sleep due to next doors car alarm. Don't know what time it stopped but it was still going strong at 4am! The battery must be totally flat by now!
So it looks like Humphreys, Wishing Chair and me are all due AFs next week. Oh it's going to be a fun week!

spub · 08/08/2005 11:28

Petunia,
Go And Get An Axe!
If the dreaded AF does arrive then you can explain the damage away as "severe PMT"

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 08/08/2005 11:51

shelly24-thanks baby girl.tears in my eyes

spub- hope you get the birthday pressie you deserve luv

Lets hope shelly has started a run of good luck to us all.All ladies with af due v soon........

spub · 08/08/2005 12:22

CP- ooh, you are awful!
Bonkfest ahoy!

LunarSea · 08/08/2005 13:04

congrats shelley - and good luck all those who are waiting to know.

Well I just wish AF would make her mind up. A bit of spotting on Thursday, looked like she'd turned up on Friday, then stopped again Friday evening, and back to spotting for the last 3 days. What on earth is going on?

wishingchair · 08/08/2005 13:19

Ooo Lunarsea - maybe pg?? Why not do a test? (or have you already done thousands ...)
