[heart tree]

Great bump Cesca. So cute!

Hoping I don't see a line but it is blurry and I'm looking at it on my phone. I really hope this is a BFP for you. Your symptoms sound promising. Isn't it a cruel joke that pregnancy and AF symptoms are so similar?

 

[heart tree]

Oh I forgot to congratulate Allie. Glad AF showed and ended any confusion. Now you can move forward and get your hormones sorted so you can have your forever baby.

 

[heart tree]

PS where's CJ? Wasn't she in the tww?

 

[Megg33k]

Happy that AF showed, Allie!

Cute pic, Cesca!!!

Don't worry about the weight, Vicky. Just worry about the iron! That's important for your little one! Looking forward to the 4D pic when you get it!

I looked at my calendar and apparently was supposed to take my last BCP today instead of yesterday. Of fucking well. Its not happening. I'm not going to be unhappy for Harry Potter tonight! No way! What good can ONE pill do anyway? None. I'm done! Screw 'em! LOL

 

[heart tree]

You go Megg! I'm quite sure it will be fine.

I hope Harry Potter is good. I can't believe you and Allie. I hate crowds. I will wait a few weeks before seeing it.

 

[Sparkly]

Meg and Allie - I'm very jealous about you both going to see Harry Potter tonight. My DH hates crowds of people too Hearty, so we will be seeing it in a few weeks too.

I think CJ was moving house, into a pub was it? my memory is shoddy, maybe she doesn't have the internet connected at the new place yet

Cesca - You look fabulous doll. I too have the deepest belly button in the world lol! and mine never popped out during pregnancy, but it did go completely flat!!!

Vid - don't worry too much about the weight gain, but you've gotta get that iron level up.

Hoping - sorry hun I don't see anything, but it is a blurry pic

all my lovely ladies,

what a busy day I have had, been teaching all day the children were much calmer today (the weather was dry and calm) so had a lovely day only had to convince one child to come out from under the table once today and no fighting I swear the windy weather (which we had yesterday with lots of rain) sends children do lally there must be some way of testing that scientificly but I'm sure I'm right. Then late night christmas shopping with steve although he found it hard as there were lots of mums and dads out with their little babies he turned to me and said its not fair that should be us with out little apple pip he never really talks about our losses I think sometimes I forget how much he has been through.

Have managed to catch up. Hearty I am so sorry about your step father he sounds like a wonderful man and you must miss him a lot I am sure he is watching over you

yay to Vicky so happy to hear your little girl is doing well. Sorry about the lecture from the dr hope the diet is ok get eating that beef for your iron.

Cesca love the pic such a gorgeous bump.

Allie I am so pleased the witch has arrived so you know were you stand. Sorry to hear about your parents it must be so hard for you but try and protect yourself a little you cant always be there. Massive to you and always here for whatever you need.

Mel good to see you back hope you had a fantastic trip.

Hope CJ is alright I'm sure she's just busy with all the pub stuff and wasnt she moving as well?

Megg and Allie enjoy harry potter I would like a report back on how good it is, We're taking my dad to see it next weekend.

[Sassy_TTC]

[Jaymes]

CUTE Bump!

Hearty Your Step-Father sounds like an amazing person! That must have been where you got all of your amazing traits! You have blessed us all with your wisdom and kindness!

Allie - Sorry about your parents. That must be really hard. Try to stay out of the middle..

Cesca - I hope that is the start of a sticky BFP... I have to admit to not seeing anything. Try again tomorrow.

Megg - YAY for being done with the Evil BC's!

Thought I'd pop in and give you an update after my lovely message from Meg

My 3rd Time Lucky baby has stuck tight!
We're due on 28th Feb 2011 - brrr, freezy!
We're staying team yellow too, our little sticky surprise

All looks well and normal on the 3billion scans I've had so far.... 5wks, 7wks, 9wks, 12wks, 20wks, 24wks and should be having another one before Christmas.

I've just moved house back to Wales, and we're moving to a better flat at the beginning of December - yay!

So.... everything is looking bright!

Hope you're all keeping well!!

[LucyJ]

Heulyn no need to sneak in always welcome. Thank you for letting us know how your doing its so lovely to see things are going well for you and your little one is doing well. So happy for you congratulations. Feb's a great month my mum's birthday is the 27th so I may be a bit biased.

 

[Megg33k]

You go Megg! I'm quite sure it will be fine.

I hope Harry Potter is good. I can't believe you and Allie. I hate crowds. I will wait a few weeks before seeing it.

No crowds for me! Its a preview... for free! I love having Justin as my bestie... He works at a theatre! YAY!

I've heard it was the best yet! I hope it is!

As sad as it is to hear that from Steve, I sort of wish Kevin was a bit more like that sometimes. I wish he would acknowledge any sort of feeling. But he says is useless to think that way... We just have to wait a little longer. Its fine. Its going to happen, so it doesn't matter. To be honest, its bloody obnoxious!

Definitely not going to worry about the pill! Fuck that pill! LOL

Good to see you!!! Yay for the move... and for the very sticky little one! Can't wait to find out the flavor in Feb! Aim for the 25th... The very best people are born that day!

We just have to wait a little longer. Its fine. Its going to happen, so it doesn't matter. To be honest, its bloody obnoxious!

I was quite shocked because he never talks about it normally says we cant think like that and have to look to the future. I felt sad but it was good to hear him talk about how he feels I think he's been able to distance himself a bit more from the other losses (if that makes sense) the 2nd one was so early we never knew for certain we were untill I was in hospital and it was to late. The third loss hit him hard but we had some time to prepare ourselves for the bad news as we had to wait a week. Our first lost I think is still the hardest for him if you know what I mean as we had seen a heartbeat and got to 12 weeks it was more real for him I guess that and we thought all was ok.

Makes total sense! It is good for him to share his feelings, even if its just once in a while. The eternal optimism makes me shudder.

 

[Allie84]

Aww bless Steve's heart. It's good he's showing emotion.

Hi heulyn and hoping! :wave: Hoping, I hope it's a BFP for you soon!

Cesca, what a cute bump you have!

Thanks girls. I'm so excited about Harry Potter tonight, eek! I don't mind the crowds; in fact I love them because they're full of giddy dorks like myself, and Alex is also a fan so he's a good sport about it. All 11 theaters showing it tonight sold out and people have been camping for good seats.

Ooh, I have a question. I have to get my CD3 bloods done tomorrow (mostly hormones, also lipids) as they won't be open on Saturday (I thought they'd let me go to my family practice but they won't), and I complained to the lady I don't want to fast from midnight as I'll be watching Harry Potter and wanting to eat popcorn. She said it probably won't effect my results to eat a bit, so I will. But I am wondering if going in on 3 hours of sleep will affect my hormone levels? I have to go in before work and I think I'll only have slept about 3 or 4 hours. Any ideas?

 

[LucyJ]

I know we had a row once because he kept telling me everything would be ok that we would get our baby it will happen and I just couldnt take it as he cant guarentee it pretty much what I yelled at steve that he could make those promises (I so wish he could) but equally I guess its good he is positive just sometimes I cant be. Its not easy the whole TTCAL buisness.

 

[LucyJ]

I dont know the answer to that to be honest I'd be inclined to say it should be fine but have no basis for that at all.

Steve hates going to the cinema I literally have to drag him there once I made him go and see a film I knew he would hate as punishment for not taking me to see a film after promising and it was a film he would of liked. I'm so mean sometimes

 

[MinnieMone]

Hi everyone.

Cesca - you look beautiful! I love love bump pics, keep them coming lovely pregnant ladies!

Vicky - so pleased the scan went well, and boo to saying you have put on too much weight, I thought 2-3 pounds gain per week was average.... a man stood up for me on the tube the other day, and I had just had too much pasta - embarrassing.

Hoping - fingers crossed that's the start of your BFP. I know you were NTNP, can I ask if you had an AF between your mc and this (I'm still toying, as I had a dark OPK today and I think I'll ov in the next 2-5days, and can't decide.... eekkkkkkk.

Megg - bugger to another bcp. Swallow that bitter pill hun and think how it will all be worth it in the end. Hope you enjoy Harry Potter.

Lucy - it totally makes sense what you say about the losses and how Steve is reacting differently to each. I know Martin and I will never ever get over the first initial shock after having had the first scan and everything was perfect, heartbeat there, measurements to the day, we only went back for the second one as the dr said 'come back for fun'! I'll never forget those words and the absolute devastation that followed. Martin also always mentions prams, babies everywhere. We have a 1 o'clock club in Brockwell park which we have to walk past to get to the tube and we both go silent and just squeeze each others hands v.v. hard whenever we walk past and see all the gorgeous wee babies and toddlers.

Hearty - yes hun, I have PCOS, was diagnosed at 36, where everything started for me really, I was single and they started to cycle monitor me (as I went on a PCOS study that St Mary's was doing under a renowned Professor who researches there). They found out I ovulated regularly so said I didn't need medication, and asked if I would come back every six months for further monitoring (which was great as over the years I was able to 'check back in' as I was so panicked that my fertility was dropping)... I thought about donor insemination back then but really wanted to be part of a loving family unit (no offence to anyone who decides to go that route).... Then when I met Martin we went straight back to see them and I was pregnant within 3 months of meeting him. I don't have a typical PCOS symptoms (apart from struggling with weight gain, but I control it). It was only my specialist (Dr Shehata) who put me on the metformin and I really didn't want to take it. We got 2 heartbeats without it and and 2 blighted ovums and a 4.5 day loss on it, so my my reckoning it hasn't improved my egg quality. I haven't told him I've come off it, he would be furious, but my gut instinct say's not to take it. Another dilemma!

Isn't CJ starting at the new pub and moving in - she must be one busy girl!

Nato is probably trying to get that soft cup out.

Right, I'm off to bed as Mart is about to start watching UFC MMA live and it drives me nuts.

Hi to everyone else.... Heulyn lovely to hear your news.

Oh, no... There will be no bitter pill swallowing. That ship has sailed. I gave them 3 weeks of destroying how I felt every day. Today can bite me. LOL
