Hey all

Hope everyone is well and not focussing too much on knicker-watching - maybe we could turn it into an olympic sport lol? Sam - definite gold medal potential

As to dress details i have to be careful in revealing details as i leave B&B up all the time and OH sometimes has a peek lol.

It's an alfred angelo dress - in ivory and trimmed with what they call "eggplant" - it really means a warm dark purple. It's strapless, with the trim around the top and bottom of the dress and all the stitching on the embroidery done in the same eggplant colour. It's corsetted and the laces are in the trim colour too. If anyone wants to check it out on alfredangelo.com - it's dream in colour style 1797 - use the colour tab and you can change the dress's trim colour to eggplant. I'm not sure if the path below will work.

Leilani - yes he will be wearing a kilt - he has his own and he looks fantastic in it - even if i say so myself . We are having a ceilidh and then a disco so there will be a lot of scottish country dancing - strip the willow, eightsome reel, dashing white sergeant, canadian barn dance etc...am getting excited lol.

PMA and love to all

Tracey - that sounds great. I always wanted to marry a Scot - just to have the Scottish wedding - and I love men in kilts - not sure where that stems from, but I guess we all have our fetishes. DH has some scottish ancestory, so maybe in years to come we'll renew our vows Scots style!!

Does you OH's tarten have eggplant in it (though I'm sure the tough Scotsmen would have a much more manly description of it)?

I love Alfred Angelo dresses, and before I even got engaged, your dress was the dress I wanted (or something sooo similar you wouldn't believe it), then when we decided to get wed in Italy, I dismissed the whole big dress idea and bought a knee length number. Then 2 months out, I just happened to be in a wedding dress shop (looking for material to make ties), when I noticed all their dresses were half price and I couldn't resist having a look. My dress was an Alfred Angelo too - it was actually a bridesmaid's dress, in white - bought off the peg - just neede a couple of inches cut off the bottom!!

Well half the weekend is gone here, no plans for tomorrow, except some more BDing, if I get a peak - if not, we'll (or rather he'll) hold fire til Monday.

Hope you are all having good weekends, and none of you are being further hindered by rogue weather!

PMA & & sticky glue to all

Tracey - love the dress! How exciting! I got married nearly 3 years ago and I loved all the dress preparation. Think we're all just girly underneath it all! Leilani - we got married in Italy too! I love it! But decided no foreign hol this year - think I'd be worried about flying and then if I wasn't well while away. That's really sad about your chiropracter - sorry to hear that. Lots of love to all and enjoy a good relax! P.S. can I join compulsive knicker checkers anonymous too. Can't resist the urge. Even done my final pregnancy test this morning just to be sure! How obsessed am I?!

OK well since the is due knicker watch has stepped up a gear lol Well anyhow my period cramps have arrived so I know I am out this month but thats ok cause I didn't really have a chance with being away when i ovulated.

So I rang yesterday and booked my smear for the st of March and when I am in I will book the nurse to do my cd21 bloods.

Did anyone else have earlier bloods? I have read where some people get cd3 and then cd21 bloods. Just wondering if I should ask for them as well?

Hope everyone is well xx I sooo wanna get married in Italy I have only been once and it was so romantic.

I am going for reflexology next week and might even treat myself to once a month, the girl I was talking to said that she would do a consultation and decide what would be needed.

I am excited and also feeling positive if AF arrives on Monday at least I have something to look forward to and feel like I am doing something to help get me preggers

 

[Deb111]

Tracey - the dress is beautiful - my bridesmaids wore 'eggplant' - you will look FAB!

Leilani - sounds like maybe you have a trapped nerve - hope it's gets sorted soon

Lisa - I was wondering the same about the bloods - I just had 21 day bloods done which proved I was ovulating. Looking forward to hearing how the reflexology goes - I have been reading up a bit on accupuncture - anyone tried?

Sam, Marie, Ella - hope you're all doing ok - I've never had a or even seen those 2 tines on a dodgy test! Can't even imagine what it must be like - at least it must be giving you some reassurance to be seeing those 2 lines on such a regular basis! I just long to see 1 (or should I say 2)!

Hope everyone else is doing ok xx

 

[Lisa1]

just been watching (one born every minute) it's a documentary on a maternity unit, OMG it is brilliant I cried through most of it and laughed through the rest hahahaha

have any of yours seen it?

 

[Lisa1]

ok well just been on amazon like Sam did last month and ordered

Pre-seed/taking charge of your fertility/prenancy tests and ovulation tests am ready for next month although unfortunately my oH is away on a stag weekend and arrives back on O day he will be wrecked so don't know if his spermies will be up for the job.

Cramping like mad now on her way I can hear her cackling Biatch!!!

 

[Leilani]

I couldn't resist - here are a couple of our wedding photos - we got married by Lake Como - it was fantastic, unfortunately George Clooney mustn't of received his invite in time, or he'd have been there, I'm sure!

Boat ride across the lake to the receptionhttps://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DP2kvfwvs98/SuQFwRoJ9EI/AAAAAAAAAuU/0hG3OWcCjqk/s320/_MG_6974.jpg

Deb - I think you're right, I'm now thinking trapped nerve - it even got into my dream, I was explaining why I did badly in a test, it wasn't because I'm dumb, but because my handwriting was so bad due to my soar arm.

Lisa - don't you just love knicker watch! I've been doing it looking for EWCM and then checking that not too many spermies have escaped! Keep us posted (though I'm sure you will) on the reflexology - I had a quick look into it on the internet, but got no further. I had my CD3 bloods done before my CD21 ones, as I was at the GPs on CD3 after my dud 19 day cycle. It was the results of those tests that made me decide to try the Soy Isoflavones, as se said my body needed to work hard to ovulate, which (apparantly) she knew from one of the CD3 tests - I forget which one, maybe FSH!?

Sam & Marie - just how many tests have you ladies done??

 

[Lisa1]

Lelliani you look gorgeous!!! Italy must have been a beautiful setting to get married in I am so jealous!!!

 

[Deb111]

Leilani - you look amazing and your day looks very special! What wonderful memories

 

[Tigger_lass]

Aww leilani - what a happy, gorgeous bride.

Txxx

 

[Leilani]

Thanks ladies - don't think I cried on the day, but I get teary when I think back to how special it was.

In other news - our old friend (and mother to two already) Grrlmom has been banned from the site - what a shame!!

Good she had to go! she put me on a real downer when I read her posts. I wonder what she'll make of the BFPs we've had recently!? Perhaps she'd be a little more optimistic!

Leilani you and your wedding looked amazing! What a fab location!!


Tigger-Lass your dress is gorgeous. You must be so excited now! Not long to go...

to us all!

Hiya!

Sorry to go missing. Busy weekend!

First and foremost, Leilani, you are a beauty!!! And how long have you been married? Clearly 10+ years, because you look all of 22 in the photo. Amazing!

And Tracey, that dress is to die for! The eggplant is gorgeous, and I bet it looks great with your coloring. A Scottish wedding? I can't even imagine! Sounds like quite the party.

Sam and Marie, no worries. I did 8 -- yes 8 -- tests. At some point on a FRER the test line gets so dark that it steals the dye from the control line, which becomes incredibly faint. Kinda the reverse of line hunting for the .

I'm nearly 8 weeks and see the dr on Tues. Still no symptoms: I had a friend over for dinner, and she kept telling me how lucky I am not to have morning sickness. But I feel like I'm missing out and worry something's wrong. Plus there's the old tale that bad ms = girl, so THANKS Lisa for the PMA!

I've also suddenly become HUGE. Every girly-bit (boobs, hips, thighs, butt) has suddenly exploded! No exercise doesn't help, of course, but having my
inner thighs rub together makes me want to cry. (OH prefers SLIM bodies!)

Next scan isn't until 12 weeks. I'm SOOOO jealous of having the option for a private scan. Out of pocket in the US would be $1500... for 15 minutes! The horror stories you've heard about American health care are true.

Hope misses you all! Or if she does show, it's just to clean up and pack up in
preparation for her 9-month vacay!

Hi all! Can't believe it's Sunday evening already and work's fast approaching! Plus we've had snow today with more forecast for overnight. It scares me, hate feeling out of control especially now! Leilani - love the wedding photos. We got married at Lake Garda and I just love the lake scenery. You look so happy! Ella - I can sympathise with the lack of symptoms. Feel normal today with only one or two fleeting waves of nausea. My bloating seems to have reduced thank goodness. My bowels had been a bit erratic but now normal-ish! Sorry if tmi! Midwife appointment on Friday - perhaps I'll relax a bit after that. Hope you've all had great weekends and af has veered off her course missing you all!
