[Closed] Per Ardua Ad Astra

[Fezzle]

We went to visit OH's parents this weekend- it was a nice trip, but can only be so nice as his dad has terminal cancer. We did go for a ni e walk though in the park near OH's childhood home. It's starting to look really autumnal now with the leaves changing and blowing off the trees.

My simple pleasures are a cup of tea, most things involving the cats and reading. Right now I'm reading David Mitchell's The Bone Clocks and really into it. That along with getting the house sorted are my current non-work TWW distractions. Next weekend we're finally putting all our books on the bookshelves- I'm looking forward to it! Also OH and I have been watching The Walking Dead- we're still in last season.

cutieq- congrats to your DH!
Squig- looking forward to tomorrow's test!

Sorry to hear that fezzle. I've lost 3 family members to cancer this year. I hate it! Your day sounds wonderful.

I'm also a big walking dead fan!

 

[Fezzle]

Ooooooh Squig, thanks for not making us wait!

 

[Squig34]

Thanks for the good luck wishes, ladies - more pics in my journal now

Glad you all have had enjoyable weekends. The wedding we were at yesterday was very nice and the weather stayed good! I love to have the time to read good books and drink coffee on a Saturday morning. That basically never happens anymore, but I still consider it a good way to start the weekend!

Lynny - how cool that you were over here! I live in Belfast so about 2 hours away from Dublin. If you were only there on Thursday, it must have been a really flying visit or are you in the UK for a bit? (all the way from Canada seems a bit excessive!!)

Can I change the front page squig?

 

[sportysgirl]

Congratulations squig, great lines.

My simple pleasures are hearing my daughter laugh and cuddling up to my hubby!

 

[Squig34]

Can I change the front page squig?

Yes go for it. I was going to wait until I miss my period, but I've got good lines and changing the front page won't affect the outcome I guess! Thanks!

 

[cutieq]

I have to find something to occupy my time. I can't stop thinking about progesterone and hoping the doc can pinpoint it being low and the reason for my losses. I need to be realistic and not get my hopes up because maybe that's not the problem.

Can I change the front page squig?

Yes go for it. I was going to wait until I miss my period, but I've got good lines and changing the front page won't affect the outcome I guess! Thanks!

Whooooo!!!

Squigg congrats! I'm so excited for you! The airline I work for just started flying to Dublin from St Johns, Newfoundland this summer. It's only a four hour flight. The flight's so popular it's full every night. It ends next week so I was so glad to get to work one! I just loved Ireland. I need to go back and spend more time there for sure! I've always wanted to go to Belfast as well! Hopefully next year when we start up again!

Cutie we need to keep you occupied! Though no matter how occupied I am ttc is always top of mind!

 

[Bug222]

Oh squig!!!! I'm so very happy for you!!!

Congrats to your hubby cutie!

I have been working nights all weekend- last one tonight... Got a pos OPK today in cd11... Keeps getting earlier and earlier!

 

[Lynny77]

cd 11 Bugg! Wow! I wish I'd go that early! I'm cd 11 today and it hasn't even occured to me to start opk's lol. Glad your last night shift is tonight! They can be so brutal!

 

[cutieq]

Nice OPK Bug. I'm glad this is your last night on the late shift. You will need your nights to BD!

 

[Tui]

Good luck bugg, get bd.

 

[Tui]

I've got 6 cb digi weeks in my cupboard and I'm desperate to pee on one. But I am restrained enough to know its a waste unless I have something on my ics. Which I don't. I got a faint line squinter today when I got bored and pee'd on one. But seeing as I get very faint lines every month I'm not kidding myself. As I said in my journal, my temps do not indicate anything remotely hopeful. Sorry, just having a moan. Wondering what the hell is wrong with my lining. Will be raiding the herbs at work next week, lol.

 

[Bug222]

Thanks ladies- I had DH come wake me up when he put DS down for his nap the last couple of days lol- so I'm way too tired but got some bd in at least!

 

[cutieq]

Yay bug!!

Hang in there Tui. Is this the same brand of tests?

 

[kwynia]

Missed a lot this weekend! Congrats on the bfp squig Really happy everyone has good things happening! My zen moments normally happen during nap time, it is the only time there is quiet in my house!

 

[Squig34]

Glad you got BD in Bug - FX for you!

Cutie - totally understand you wanting something fixable to be wrong, even though rationally speaking you know it's better not to have any identifiable problems.

Tui- is this a different brand from last month's? Cos if so, surely you couldn't be unlucky enough to get more evaps? Will pop into your journal later if you have pics. I hope it's a squinter which will become a blazing BFP!

Lynny - I can't believe the journey is that short! I didn't know you worked for an airline. My DH is a pilot but only short haul. You'll have to let me know if you do come to Belfast next year!

 

[Tui]

Same brand as last month, different to those others a while back. I'm thinking my egg is touching down long enough to trigger a bit of hcg then floating off! Nothing wants to stick. Only way it would explain why I get very very faint lines at this time past ovulation, but not when I tried them at other times to check for evaps. I'm not upset, just annoyed at my uterus!
