Shellie well done on the patience!! I was too scared to see a bfn so I didn't test til 12dpo too! FX'd for you!! Did the spotting stop?

Cupcake - I really want to bake now coz of your talk about baking lol, might make summat with my oh after Sunday lunch. That might be nice and fun for us!!

Mrs d it's quite warm here actually. I'm guessing summers well and truly gone boo! I'm sure I suffer from SAD coz I hate it when it's not sunny. It could snow and then be clear skies and I'd be happy even if it was freezing, it's the brightness that I can't live without!!! Damn clouds!!

 

[MrsDuck]

I love baking cakes but I hate cooking dinner am I a bit weird??

I'm the same as you I'm sure I suffer with SAD. I suppose living on a little island so I spend a lot of time at the beach or on the water so as soon as summer ends I feel miserable

So the smep plan is basically every other day then as soon as positive opk 3 days in a row then stop for a day then one last try. God I'm knackered just thinking about it. Is it just me or does each month begin as a laugh and you are nice and enthusiastic then as the month goes on and you are still bding every other day and still wishing for that bloody positive opk it just becomes more and more like hard work???

Bring it on.......6 months to go!

 

[cupcake1981]

I must admit mrs d it does seem like a lot of bding.....for us anyway! I do feel shatterd thinking about it but I wanna give each cycle the best chance possible....I'm hoping the preseed will help when Im less in the mood!

Mrs D I would definately take it slow with the housework because I reckon dh needs more time to learn how to do it

I haven't managed to get tickets yet, I reckon it's unlikely but I'm going to try all week to get ticket for next saturday, I would really love athletics but to be honest I would take anything just to get to go, I never managed to go to the olympics so it's last chance saloon.

Shellie sending you lots of luck

Cupcake I couldn't cope without pre seed, we use it all the time now becuase every 2 or 3 days can be pretty time consuming, we have quite frequent 'pre seed quickies'

 

[MrsDuck]

Cupcake I know what you mean us too. I think I'll get some preseed ready to try, everyone seems to say good things about it, and if it give those spermies more fertile cm to swim through then it's got to be worth a go x

Mrs D I would definately take it slow with the housework because I reckon dh needs more time to learn how to do it

lol I couldn't agree more xx

Do you just apply for the tickets online?

Good luck x

 

[MrsDuck]

Preseed quickies haha I love it!

 

[ShellieLabTek]

Thanks for the good vibes ladies. Wish i had as much hope myself! Bailey the spotting did stop, although i did have the tiniest bit last night but it was from bding. OH was a little rough lol lol. My boobs hurt too but i think its also a result of the bding. He loves to grab em! And i dont mind lol Lol sorry for the TMI! Also feeling gassey today. Might be the lasagna as OH has been too. But then again he's always gassey lol anyway my lunch is done back to work!

 

[baileybubs]

Lol, Shellie I love how you are coming up with all these other reasons for what sound like definate symptoms but I understand why, I did the same thing, its like a natural protection against the disappointment of the dreaded BFN.

Yes ladies you should all get preseed!!

Preseed quickies thurl lol!!

Well had sunday lunch and I didnt like it. My oh put redcurrant jelly in the gravy so it was too sweet, rosemary on the potatoes so they were too herby and overcooked the beef (coz apparently I'm not allowed it pink!) so it was to tough. And his yorkshires were too oily lol!! Not that I've told him any of that I just think sometimes chefs get carried away with adding seasoning and flavours when all I wanted was a good old roast dinner like my mum used to make lol!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw bailey that must have been a huge disappointment after setting your taste buds up for a scrummy roast beef dinner. Did he make a nice desert to make up for it? x

 

[Tawn]

Hello Chatterbugs! I am back in the land of the Wifi and absolutely shattered from the past week's shenanigans! It was so fun having my dad and his gf round, though, and they were so happy to find out we were pg and to be here for the scan that it is all worth being this knackered

I do wish the timing could have been better though, because week 6 was hitting me really hard with regards to exhaustion and I was waking up after 8 hours still absolutely pooped so I wasn't the most fun traveling companion I could be this week as being that tired often made me grumpy--which I feel bad about.

Thanks to MrsDuck's summary, and me reading back as many pages as I could I feel pretty caught up with you all now though, which is good!

MrsD- glad you are recovering slowly but surely. You got the right idea by not doing the housework quite yet, I am proud of you hun I read back loads but don't think I heard if you did actually get your staples and stitches out Tuesday? As well as your calcium results? Update please, I've been thinking about you!

Cath, how much fun are you having peeing on sticks now! And knowing that you get to ttc for real this month! So excited to see your OPK pics, you better be posting them!

Bailey, ugghhhh you work drama makes ME frustrated! They sound like drama queens, but it does tend to be like that in professions dominated by women I hope you are feeling a bit better this evening and that your roast was delicious!

Cheryl, you poor thing with all this MS! Just think how worth it it all will be though, when you hold your rainbow in your arms! I hope your night out with DH was fun!

Mummy, so sorry about your bfn and that it got you down like you said, you think you saw a shadow and at 10dpo that is likely all it would be anyway! So I still have complete faith that your bfp is around the corner....the only problem is you will be off on hols! You will have to keep us updated hun! PS: I laughed out loud at your comment about telling your DH "I gotta see Tawn's update" The one night we got home before 10-10:30pm and I rushed upstairs to the laptop my DH asked me what I was doing and I said, I want to check in on the girls!!!!! He just shook his head and said "you're cute, baby" like patting a child or a crazy person on the head LOL I feel so lucky this group genuinely cares about each other so much! That is why I am not giving up on your BFP until the evil witch shows!

Cupcake, SMEP sounds like a perfect idea! I know it will help you catch the eggy this month! Every other day is a perfect routine, and hopefully it will help to stop you from burning out (I know the one month we tried to do it more than every other day I began dreading dtd! ) Have fun and catch that eggy!

Poppy, sorry summer holiday is over for you, but YAY for only 15 weeks till maternity leave! That will absolutely FLY by! EEK! Also glad you are starting to feel better!

Shelby, where are you at in your TWW hun? What day are you planning on testing!

Thurl, sounds like you have been really busy hun! I hope your doctor can give you some peace of mind either way with regards to PCOS or ttc. I think it is a great first step that you made the appt, I know it must be nerve wracking but exciting at the same time! What day is your appt so we can hope for an update hun?

Shellie, your symptoms sound really good hun! I was hoping to come back to some BFPs, but I am actually glad that WHEN they start rolling in next week I will be here to properly congratulate you!

Ttcbabyisom, massive hun. Please keep us updated on Tuesday and I will keep you in my thoughts and send loads of sticky your way!

Leinz, glad you and Zoella are doing wonderfully! I hope your next consult goes better than the last!

Maryanne, how are you hun? Where are you in your cycle? You have been very quiet lately!

OK, if I missed anyone please don't be offended, my brain feels like a bowl full of jelly right now!

 

[baileybubs]

No his mum made egg custard but coz shes on a diet she hardly put any sugar in it, and my oh had promised to make me lemon posset and he didnt. Gutted. Really disappointed, feel like poo and cant be bothered with anything lol

 

[baileybubs]

Hi tawn!!! glad to see you back and I feel you on the tiredness......roll on 2nd tri for so many reasons lol

 

[cupcake1981]

Yey Tawn is back!

Thurl preseed quickies I love it!!! Nothing wrong with a quickie....it's efficient!

Bailey sorry your dinner wasn't good always disappointing! My hubs is a bit like that, wants to add loadsa stuff to make it fancy but sometimes all you want is a good old fashioned roast like mums like you say!

 

[MrsDuck]

Tawn please tell me you made notes and wasn't able to remember all that. You are the one that is meant to have preggo brain but I couldn't remember half as much xx

It's great to have you back and I'm glad you enjoyed having your dad visiting even if you are now pooped x

Yup I did get my stitches out Tuesday and it has been so tempting to pick my scabs but I've been quite good only picking off the loose bits when I get out of the shower in the morning. It's healing quite well although still quite swollen at the front making me look like I have a double chin! I'll post a pic later when I'm on the pc.

Are you having any ms symptoms or are you escaping with just tiredness?

 

[Tawn]

LOL preseed quickies! DH doesn't like quickies very much, but sometimes they just do the trick don't they

 

[cupcake1981]

Lol Tawn....who has time for anything else when they work full time and have to be up early for work!

 

[Tawn]

Nope MrsD, that was all by memory! LOL, like I said, you all can feel sorry for my hubby during our arguments

Oh god, the itching must be horrendous! You poor thing! If it were me they would have to put one of those dog collar plastic cones on me because I wouldn't be able to help myself from scratching

My ms is reasonable I would say. I have waves of it throughout the day (and sometimes in the middle of the night to wake me up) mostly before eating breakfast right when I get out of bed, but it is pretty tolerable and I have only gagged a few times, so I am not going to complain.

Tbh, my dad took us out to eat SO MUCH while he was here that I feel thoroughly stuffed and can't stomach the idea of eating any time soon! LOL I think I will skip dinner tonight as the thought of food puts me off, I asked DH to go to the shop and get tons of fresh fruit and veg because all of our pub and restaurant meals this last week has been SO HEAVY on my tummy

 

[Tawn]

Lol Tawn....who has time for anything else when they work full time and have to be up early for work!

Oh god, I know! Sometimes I would like more of a quicky cause DH works a split shift and I feel guilty keeping him up late when he has to wake up at 4:30am for work the next morning! DH says that if he is going to do something, he is going to do it RIGHT! I can't believe I am complaining about that, lol! Most women would be complaining about the OPPOSITE!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

to all of my wonderful people on here who have responded to both my good news last week and my horrible news this week...sorry for not responding yet to any comments you have posted...i'll go through here and read them soon and if anyone on here can shed some light on what might have happened to me, I'd appreciate it. One thing's for sure, i won't be trusting the evil peestick anymore...in the future, i guess I'll just resort to the blood test right away if I think I might be preggers...this is the most awful feeling...i never thought I'd get so many positive hpt's and then it be false...??? So confusing.
