Hi girlies!
Mummyemmy - congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoo, well done you! what day were you on in your cycle when you got your BFP?
amazing!! another BFP for our little group!
Bumbs - welcome back sweetie, missed you!
your holiday sounds great, and sounds like you're doing really well despite the frustration of NTNP. keep relaxing and having a great time with your OH and I'm sure it will happen for you!!
Carine - sorry that you're on a bit of a time limit (until June)...all I can say is that I totally understand and in a way if you decided not to go for it again until after your final exams are out of the way and everything then at least you will be in the best position possible - nothing to distract you from studying and getting an amazing result and setting your career up for life. you're very brave and sensible and are bound to be successful!
(and hey, you never know, you may suddenly find out you're preggy before June anyway!)
Pol - sorry about your erratic cycle, and AF, poor you.
I don't blame you for having a month off next cycle, if you've got something really important at work to deal with. but again, you never know what's going to happen...in a way it seems as though for all us working women, it's never going to be an 'ideal' time to get pregnant, is it? there'll always be *something* that gets disrupted or perhaps isn't the best situation. but what's meant to be is meant to be, and I'm sure we'll all be so happy and thrilled whenever it does happen that it'll take our minds off work anyway!!! but yes, so sympathise, and you too seem to be taking the very brave and sensible approach to everything - just like carine.
Farmers - thanks sooo much for all the fascinating lessons in farming!! I love it! and massive hugs to you and bubs!!!
Beets - hope you're ok hun and read your blogs on your website...they were fab!!! you're a writer too, you should've told me!!!
AFM...the awards were great, thank you, not so many A-listers this time but did get to speak to JLS (boyband), Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger, the Inbetweeners, Mat Horne (Gavin and Stacey), Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Katie Waissel (X Factor last year) and Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl - which I don't watch - but he was HOT!!!
ha ha. Gwyneth Paltrow turned up as well but wouldn't stop for interviews on the red carpet, booooo! was fun though, thanks for asking ladies! I have the UK TV BAFTAs next weekend so will be sure to report back after that one too!!!
in terms of my cycle...I really, really don't want to get too ahead of myself here but I am feeling a little hopeful right now. I'm on 9dpo and usually I spot from 6 or 7dpo. this month...NO spotting!!! not even a tiny bit! (though that could be from the B6 also which I've been taking this month). I've also been getting lots of CM, I feel VERY tired (not so much physically as wanting to go to sleep at 9pm every evening) and wake up every morning with a very stuffy nose and thick throat (but that could be hayfever...). The thing I'm most excited about is the lack of spotting, so even if AF comes along, as long as I've managed to minimise that aspect of my cycle I'll consider it a victory!
I do only have an LP of 10 or 11 days so theoretically AF should be due tomorrow or Tuesday...will be watching carefully and hope she doesn't turn up! (even if she doesn't I won't be testing til next Saturday though). wish me luck, girls! xxx
