Good luck bug and cutie!

Sporty yay for scan!

C funny how a opk can make you nervous too!

I'm 10dpo I believe. Don't have a lot of hopes for this cycle. I'm still on this endless surgery cycle and I'm pretty sure I ovulated with the positive opk but my monitor never peaked.

Can't wait to hear all about that scan sporty!

I've got my FX for you Lynny!

Hmmm, DH's work are having a shared lunch day next week. Why is it that I've been roped into producing things for it? It seems to have turned into a competition somewhere, so now I'm under pressure to make it great as well.

 

[cutieq]

Tui, my DH does the same! He will come home and tell me what item he's bringing aka I'm preparing.

Then he will brag and hype up the items so I'm under pressure.

 

[Tui]

Yup, same here. I'm self conscious enough about cooking, with out him doing that!

The savory dish I'm not worried about as I've done it several times, but I don't make cheesecake often! Oh well I'll have a plan b on standby.

 

[Fezzle]

What is the savoury dish you're making? Just the thought of cheesecake makes me feel a bit sick!

 

[sportysgirl]

Measuring perfect heart beating saw umbilical cord! So happy right now x x

 

[cutieq]

That's awesome sporty!!!

 

[Fezzle]

YAY! Fantastic news!

 

[Tui]

Wow sporty, what a lovely picture. Great news.

It's a bulgar wheat salad of sorts. Has cherry tomatoes, black olives, apricots and spring onions. You do the bulgar wheat in vegetable stock for extra flavour. Really yummy. And a darn site healthier than the pies and sausage rolls some will be bringing no doubt, lol.

If you don't like bulgar wheat you can use wild rice. Last year I did it with black rice and it was chewy nice.

 

[Fezzle]

Sounds good! I've had a bulgar wheat salad before with pomegranate seeds in it (and other things that I can't remember) which I liked, so would definitely try that!

 

[Lynny77]

Yay Sporty! What amazing news!

Tui that sounds delish!

 

[kwynia]

my DH has a potluck at work next week as well, i think i'll make chocolate caramel fudge and try penuche

 

[Tui]

My plan b is chocolate fudge. Everyone loves it, so it's a good standby.

I've just made vege soup for lunch. Been thinking about a juicer to get some extra veges in me. I've heard spinach and apple is nice. Anyone recommend some combinations that make vege juice taste good?

 

[Fezzle]

Hi all, just stopping in to say it's not good news for me. I started bleeding red blood last night like a period, and this morning a scan showed no sac. I've been referred to the early pregnancy unit at the hospital for Monday to check the progress. My Dr didn't seem to think I needed to worry much about it being ectopic. I'm not in a lot of pain- it just feels like a regular period so far. My symptoms went away too- no more sore boobs, so we were pretty sure it was over last night. The scan has given us a bit of closure now though, and although we have some sad moments of thinking about what might have been, we're looking ahead at our future and encouraged by how well the Clomid worked.

 

[cutieq]

So incredibly freaking sorry to hear the fezzle. It's never easy. Dangit this upsets me. I'm glad you have some closure and like you said, obviously the clomid worked for you. Sending you nothing but hugs.

 

[kwynia]

Sorry fezzle, that freakin' sucks.
