...And xgingex that's sooo lovely. I'm in admiration, not only because it's beautiful but because I have great difficulty in arranging flowers; think half-plucked chicken and you will have a clear image of a bouquet arranged by me.

Emandi Holly has dicovered biscuits too. She screams if I go vaguely near the 'baby biscuit' tin in the kitchen and nothing materialises

Things are hotting up, now that we have official 2wwaiters in our midstsWhat fun!!!

I've been feeling quite tired today, with anchovy cravings(managed to pick some up at the supermarket this evening, phew!) Is this a symptom of O? Come to think of it, I have definate fish cravings, because at midday over my lunch I was watching on tv about smoking salmon (i.e. as in making salmon smoked, not as in rolling fish with tobacco in Rizlas) and it gave me massive cravings. Wonder if there's a correlation between the strength of fish craved and LH? Hmmmm there's a field of research for me...
I told you french tv was c**p

Emandi! (and to all you other wonderful ladies!) - I am so sorry I've been neglecting you! I am sorry! Please... forgive me??

Newbie- SBB's are definitely a symptom!

I promise I will come back to soon and chat with you all but right now I have to go and bring my DD to school.

What do you think ladies? Do you think we can forgive Molly?

It's soooo weird that you're taking your DD to school and I've just put mine to bed!!

I'm gonna count it then! I am really hoping we did it this time. I am so optimistic since we managed to BD on the day of ovulation, so I will be disappointed if this isn't our month.

Thinking about taking a break if that's the case, after only 3 cycles. i feel a little stressed about DH NTNP while I am obsessing over it. 1st cycle we were too late, bd'ed @ 1dpo, last cycle we were too early, @ 3 dbo Even tho i know there's only a 25% chance of things working out even with all the stars aligning, I hope i'm in that slim margin. Otherwise, I'm gonna take it as my cue that this is just not my time right now. Besides, i prefer to have a summer baby!

Isnt' that just the poo of the whole ttc business, that even when you get it spot on it still is a pretty slim chance? And then there's the m/c chance once you are pregnant. PMA HollyMonkey, PMA! How on earth did I manage last time!!!???
Don't worry I reserve the pessimism for myself- I'm sure it's your month newbie "bring on dem simp-tomms!"

Oooh getting there sarachka show us tonights too hehe

Holly re the fish = maybe your body is craving sodium or omega 3??

Good Evening Myrtles,

Before you ask Sarachka I'm cooking a vegetable hot pot for dinner, it's simmering on the stove as I write- low maintenance, high nutrition. Leek, potato, onion, carrot, turnip, a few herbs and Bob's your uncle. (my uncle is actually called Bob)

Sorry you were at a funeral today Trinitymom- at the risk of sounding disrespectfully frivolous at least you got some new shoes- I did warn you I was a shoe fetishist I once bought some emergency shoes one day at work- thought I'd wear my fancy high heeled boots but just by walking to the station I was in agony....

I missed the Lady Vagina one Moominmumma, I'm going back...

Hehe! Just thinking about it is making me laugh.... think Lady Vagina was on page 3!!

Ok ladies.....for my wedding planning items, (i.e. stuff i've got/made so far) Heres the link https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=10126444&l=3dbddb5373&id=825300345

That's so lovely, I had a nosey on your facebook site.Thankyou! I'm doing the same, self-made wedding! I call him DH but we have a French Civil Union that the English authorities don't recognise, and before LO came along it didn't matter but when I travel with her to the UK I have to take a thing called a Livret de Famille with me to prove I'm her mum Stoopid. So we're getting an internationally recognised marriage at the town hall as soon as I've got all the papers together....administitive nightmare in France! But got my dress- saw it in the summer in the UK visiting my parents- £25. How's that for budget?!!!!But then it is 2nd time round...
Good luck with the prep, those invitations are top stuff

Holly re the fish = maybe your body is craving sodium or omega 3??

Yep. Otherwise known as Salty Yum Yum Fish cravings. Anchovy paste on french toasts anyone? I have dozens of them here that I've prepared

Hello all you lovely ladies :wave:

Just caught up on the latest....some fabulous symptoms appearing!! How exciting!

Also, same as Holly...I'm waiting until my twelve week scan hopefully comes back before parting with my CBFM. Is there anyone who might benefit from it (for free of course) at end Dec/beginning of Jan 11? It comes with a heap of the sticks too as I just bought them two days before BFP That's how much I thought I was pregnant!!

I know it's a bit of time away and a lot of you already have them but just thought someone might be interested?

Anyway....I'm off to steep my huge gazongas in iced water while vomiting and farting quite a lot (sorry if TMI but something must have crawled up and died ) I'm particularly loving my balisha beacon style zits that light up a room before I'm even in it and also have never felt more attractive than now with my chip pan head! Ahhh, pregnancy....fills me with joy.....honestly though I am loving every minute!!! Bet y'all can't wait for some of the good stuff eh?

Love and luck my lovelies x

 

[Sarachka]

Ooh me me!! I'd gladly receive the cbfm and pass it on to the next... although I hope I won't need it by then!!

 

[HollyMonkey]

Holly re the fish = maybe your body is craving sodium or omega 3??

I've upped my sport quota a bit, so I guess my body is craving extra stuff now. Sod's law often applies to me, so I'm thinking that if I get back into racing (which obviously I stopped with )then I might fall pregnant! But did my 1st evening session on the track last night and I guess that's why I'm tired and craving salt and Oga3 today...
(So good these anchovy delights, sure you don't want one Sarachka?)

Maybe we should have a lottery. I'm sure we could work out a fair lottery system for my cbfm. Hold on! I'm not pregnant yet! Mine Mine Mine
