International bumps to be!

[stuckinoki]

rjsmam, you are having a run of bad household appliance luck, aren't you!!! lol

I still have awful cramps. I fell asleep with my heating pad last night because their still pretty bad. I don't know what's going on and I've never experienced cramping like this during my luteal phase. Hopefully it's a good sign!

 

[Hena]

Hope that cramping is a good sign stuckinoki!!! I'm so jealous that you have furry babies to welcome you home, I think it would be easier to deal with DH being away. I'm sure they love you as much as their daddy, it's just a bit more laid back with mummy ;-)

so glad you're feeling better rjsmam! it's about time!!! fingers x'd that the spotting is a good sign, we'll see!! btw, I'm curious after you asked stuckinoki, what does your name mean?

my name? Rj is my son's initials and his nickname! he's 8 and the best ever ... mam = mum up here!

 

[Hena]

oooh that makes perfect sense!! It's so sweet to make him part of your name! Hope you make him a big brother very soon, pretty sure all the bad appliance luck means you're due for something good, eh?

without being too cringy he's my shining star - we've had some tough times together as his dad died when he was 2 - so as you can imagine we are super close. he loves his step dad but it's still hard for him.... and will always be i guess

but enough tales of woe! what about Hena - is that part of your name?

And mzswizz - does that signify anything?
Madrid - i'm guessing it's your home city!?

 

[Hena]

That's not cringy at all, it's beautiful and touching and brought a tear to my eye. What a blessing you must be to one another!

Hena is indeed part of my name. My real name is Helena, which is really difficult for little children to say, so my little nephew called me Hena for nearly two years and the nickname has stuck in DH's family Of course now he's 5 and can say Helena perfectly so he teases his grandparents for not saying my name correctly

 

[stuckinoki]

I fricking love the name helena!!!!

 

[rjsmam]

I fricking love the name helena!!!!

totally agree - it's a lovely name!!!!!!!! xx

Hi ladies!!!

Hena thanks for your awesome compliment!!! I don't even know what to say because I honestly think isn't that special. It's hard work, don't get me wrong, but I love what I'm studying and my dh is super supportive when I have to study or revise or take exams, he always helps me to relieve home pressure from my shoulders.
Life is full of decissions and we make the ones we think are the best. Sometimes we are right sometimes we aren't but it isn't better or worst; it's just different ways to live your life. Please don't regret anything you haven't done because it's too late to change it. We can only be responsible for our actions today and make the best of what we have. I decided to compromise because children were more important to me so I left my Law Degree half way but I've always been actively studying one thing or another until I decided I wanted to teach and that's why I started this other degree.
Sorry if I've gone a bit philosophical all of a sudden.

rjsman my user name is the city where I come from, you're right and also the year I left it to move to London.
Thanks for asking about my eye . I think the cornea isn't as swollen because my vision is slowly improving. Fx'd it'll continue.

stuckinoki your username actually is very clever. I bet you can't wait for your hubby to come back home!! It's nice to be alone sometimes but if it's too many days is boring eventually.

After another long one, this is everything from me today.

Its wonderful how everyone's name signifies something or someone. My name is a name my DH gave me since we first started dating. Swiss Miss is hot chocolate (he thinks im very beautiful and im brown complexion like chocolate so hot chocolate). He use to call me lil miss swiss miss but since we are older and gotten married he just says mzswizz or miss swiss miss its all the same but i love it because its unique ans he made it up just for me which i thought was soooo sweet of him.

9 days until the vacation eeeekk im so excited. Im hoping we would have good news when we arrive back.

 

[Madrid98]

That's nice story for your name as well. I like it!!!

Fx'd for best news after vacation!!!

[Hena]

I fricking love the name helena!!!!

totally agree - it's a lovely name!!!!!!!! xx

Aw! thank you girls, you're so sweet!

I love all the stories about the names! mzswizz, I almost asked you if your name had anything to do with Swiss Miss, lol! How sweet that it's your nick name!

Madrid, thanks for your words of wisdom, you're right, there's no sense in having regrets. We just have to look forward with hope! Glad your eye is doing better, do you think there was strain from revising?

I'm driving back to Alsace after work tomorrow and will be with my dh in less than 24 hours I think I'm 4 dpo based on opks but ff has yet to confirm, so we're going to keep going with loving time!

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks Madrid and Hena!

Hena-i remembered when my niece couldnt say auntie so she would always say tee which i thought was soooo cute. So it stuck with me until she could pronounce it. Yay i am with my dh so its bittersweet because he was suppose to be at work today but called out. Saturday we are going to the beach for a pre-father's day barbecue and then going to my parents house on father's day and then its the trip so we are going to be pretty busy starting on saturday.

Madrid-Good to see your eye is better. I am sooo excited. It would jus be great to come on here and say ladies i had a wonderful trip and received my BFP...but only time will tell if that will be possible. So im nervous but excited. Cant wait until we are all bump buddies!!!

 

[rjsmam]

Ladieeeeeeeeeeessssssssss....arrg

My ics came yesterday – as i’ve got more than a touch of poas i did one this am.. i‘m sure i’m out this month what with wacky temps etc so was ready for bfn and am only 10/11dpo – if that as ff think’s i’m 5dpo!!

Did the ic, checked it briefly was bfn, went for shower, checked it again whilst it was still wet – bfn. Left it on windowsill – sun was shining in – started getting ready for work – check it again – a pink line forming.... its dry now and has an obvious pink line. Help. I’m certain this was out of the time limit? Evap? Dye run?

Have lost the lead for my camera but will try a pic with my phone... am at work & have a really busy day but my head is scrambled!
xx

 

[stuckinoki]

Evap. You can't read the ICs [or any HPT for that matter] after the 10 minute time limit. Sorry

 

[rjsmam]

yip common sense tells me the same - wish i hadn't tested as was totally ok about being bfn & now this threw me a bit!

here's the pic - looks faint & smudgy in this pic.. had to take it with my phone.. but is a clear defined line irl... gah so annoyed at self for testing. but am cool about it - gonna get on with my day

 

[Hena]

Yeah, I think stuckinoki is right, unfortunately. If I were you though, I'd do another one tomorrow with fmu again just to see. Fingers crossed!!!!

 

[Hena]

Yeah, I def. see the line...I've never had an evap, are they usually that defined? (not trying to get rj's hopes up, just general curiosity)

 

[rjsmam]

Yeah, I def. see the line...I've never had an evap, are they usually that defined? (not trying to get rj's hopes up, just general curiosity)

thanks Hena.. lalalala am gonna ignore it & try not think about it... lalalala (trying hard)

I know what you mean, these things are such torture! Maybe it's a good thing you have a busy day today!!! Try and distract yourself!!

I know, have you any good films lately?
