Hi everyone!! I hope you're all enjoying the weekend and that the bad weather is subsiding where you've got snow or floods! Luckily in London the temperature has gone up a bit, I think it's about 10 degrees and there's been no snow for a while now. Mind you, we've often had snow in March before so I know there's a long way to go before we're safe from the horrible weather. Glad everyone is safe, that's the main thing.
Sparkle - thanks for sharing your birth story. Glad you had the young midwife there to be supportive, funny how the older one didn't listen to you and thoughs she knew better. Glad Isla is well - looking forward so seeing some pics.
Linny - good to know that they're keeping an eye on things for you, I think that's reassuring that they're taking it all seriously. Fingers crossed that nothing worrying comes up in the next couple weeks. Not long to go now
Dandy and TTC - we know what you're doing!!!! Go and make babies while the OPK shines!!!
Let's hope for lovely ripe eggs and some strong swimmers
Never - great you've got the FS appointment coming up and trip to see your OH to look forward to. Hopefully you'll feel reassured once you know that the tests are being done. I feel much better just knowing the process has started.
TNT - I keep meaning to get back to the gym but haven't quite made it yet. I always feel so much better when I do but I find it really hard to get round to it!!
Kel - that was a great mail from the monitor company - let's hope it's a good sign of lots of positive things coming for you including that positive little line otherwise known as BFP coming your way soon
Damita - those are long cycles. I can't imagine what it's like to get to CD 35 before O comes - my longest has been about CD 19 and I was freaking out. Let's hope maca gives you what you need
SBB - thanks for the lovely pics, Sammuel is just adorable. And I loved the pic of Danny on the broomstick. Hilarious! Sorry to hear you're feeling unwell, I hope it clears up soon. It's good you've got support around you.
Char - great to hear that you've been feeling movement - how exciting!!!
Yazzy - not long now till your first scan!! I bet you can't wait!!
Celtic - you always have such lovely words to say for everybody else. How's it all going for you? You haven't got much longer to go either, have you?
AJ - nice to see you back and I hope this is a successful month for you
Kiki - if you're out there, I hope you know we're thinking of you and sending you lots of love
Hi to anyone I've missed,
AFM - I'm generally feeling more positive about things. I think it's knowing we've started the process with the fertility clinic. This month for the first time it feels like win: win - whether I get my BFP or not. If I get my BFP then it will be the best news ever and I will be so happy. But if I don't get my BFP this month then we will get lots and lots of tests done next month and we'll be much better informed for the future and know how things are for us in terms of fertility levels. I was told that we shouldn't TTC for the month when we go for the HSG, apparently they think the dye and/or the x-ray could damage a developing baby so I wouldn't want to risk it. I've also just found out my OH is away on business for what would probably be my fertile time next month too, so maybe this is a sign that it's ok to take the month off from TTC if we need to. It's a scary thought and I've always hated February as a month - cold, miserable, skint, not Spring coming in yet - but maybe I can try to take a different attitude to it this month! It's about learning and checking and preparing our bodies for the much awaited BFP!!!! Hugs and baby dust to everyone xx
