Af has arrived 
Really thinking I need to consider stopping for my own sanity. There seem to be more reasons to stop than to continue, but it breaks my heart to consider it

Aww Buddha I am so, so sorry to hear that AF arrived. It is so difficult at moments like these to want to continue . I was talking to one of DS's friend's mums the other day and she told me that they had tried for 13 years to conceieve their son ! She was 40 when she eventually fell PG and her husband didn't believe the tests as they had pretty much given up hope. She said that for the final 2 years they did nothing special other than not use contraception - previously they had done superfoods, supplements temping etc... she reckons the only difference was that they had pretty much forgotten about it (easier said than done - I KNOW !) and just got lucky. Sending you big virtual hugs xx

Murray I just feel like I'm running out of time I'm 41 now, and I feel like my clock is ticking very loudly. All 4 pg have not been easy for me with really bad sickness, spd, God I'm being so whingy

Afternoon ladies
Buddha. So sorry AF arrived again for you it is shit. i have been there with the giving up thoughts and unfortunately...i cant stop. despite DH and I "agreeing" to stop at the 6 year point (october this year) i would feel in myself like it was "my fault" for stopping and thats why we only have 1 DC...not the pain and heartache of 6 years fruitless TTC and MCs aplenty 
i feel like i sort of owe it to myself, DH, DD and our hypothetical other DC (s) to keep on keeping on IYSWIM but yes it is shit all the same... FX this cycle is YOUR cycle... im here if you need a rant {{{{hugs}}}}
How is everyone else? :)

Sorry if I've scared everyone away with my moaning.
Marbles I don't know how you keep on as positive as you are, you're an inspiration
I promise to shut up now, if you'll all come back?

I'm here
I'm off work today as my hips and back have been so painful the last couple of days...sort of like sciatic pain...which I last had when preg with DD so I'm trying not to read too much into that...
AF is due anytime from next mon/tue onwards I think but who knows

Evening ladies ! How are we all ?
I had a fabulous holiday in Gran Canaria. E started school yesterday so it has been a busy few days. He is loving it which is good - a bit wobbly (me more than him !) today when he had to line up and go in on his own today but he seems to be fine with it. Also had to visit after school club which he starts on Mon , I feel like t is a lot for him all at once, however I have no family close by and I work so no option . Other than that, I am getting BIG ! Bump appeared just before holiday and is now officially massive !!! I measured 24-25 weeks at 22 weeks and bump has exploded in size since then ! Had a scan on Tuesday and all is well, despite my size baby is right size for my dates. Baby is very active so loads of kicks and movement which really helps me remain calm
Moomin your holiday looks fab - hope you are all having a ball (although must be tricky with your ex).
Buddha, how are things with you ? Sounds as if you are feeling good ?...
Marbles - you any better mrs ? xx
Mummy - how are you doing - are you past 12 week stage yet ?

All done Bhudda!
Felt hideous yesterday but back to normal today.
D still alive. It was okay most of the time. All that time separated that we lived together probably helped. Feel relieved to have my space now

Hi ladies,
apologies for absence, been busy with work, school and being fat . All going well here, lots of activity from baby (still breech as all kicks are low down), am 27 weeks tomorrow and really starting to believe it might just be ok.
How are you all ?
Buddha, where are you in your cycle ? How are you feeling about things at the moment ?
Marbles, what you up to my dear ?
Moomin, back to school last week ? How are you doing ? Still loved up with C ?
Mummy - where are you hiding, how far on are you now ?
