Padbrat I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even pretend to know how hard this must be on you and your dh. Honey you are in my prayers. I will be thinking of you.

MJ my heart was breaking reading your post about your dad. I just wanted to send a big to you hun.

Hi to all my other lovley girls!

 

[Dwrgi]

Sorry for anyone who has read this elsewhere but - Heehee - just been late night shopping in Tesco & got chatted up by a guy!! He asked if I was single & when I said I was married he asked how old I was. I got him to guess & he guessed 23!!! Feeling pretty foxy now

Way to go, Foxy Lady!! xxx

 

[purplelou]

Twinkle - you DH should realise how lucky he is to have such a foxy lady!!

MA - having read (almost) all of this thread, I have been following your story, I feel that i know you ladies. (it's rather strange since I am so new!) but I have to tell you, I cried when I got to your BFP post - belated congratulations

Hi to everyone - hope you are all having a lovely weekend

 

[Macwooly]

Lavalux - lovely news!!

Macwooley - we are in the same part of the world

thank you onmymind - Im learning slowly

So we are I'm originally a Yorkshire girl but moved to this part of the world 4.5 years ago just before I married my DH

HA, men really don't get it sometimes. You are right about them not knowing exactly how we feel. Its very frustrating. They don't have to go through the physical strain we do and I feel that is very much connected to our emotions. We feel the double whammy of the stress. It seems like they just kind of sit back and wait for any news we give them. As for the stupid comment about your hair, my ex was notorious for making those comments. It used to drive me nuts.

Butterfly, have fun BDing!

FM, please don't be so hard on yourself.

AFM, my shopping trip for the baby gifts went okay. I had mom pick out the cards because I couldn't bear to read them. I think I'll have DH sign them. Also, while we were shopping I bought some cute tops and when I came home and took the tags off, wouldn't you know that one of them was a maternity top! WTH! I went to Ross so everything was just on the rack and I guess I just picked it because it looked cute. It made me cry because it seems like a cruel joke. I just don't get it. For some reason I've lost my voice too. I don't have a cold or anything. I think its stress.

 

[Macwooly]

Missyt - I know I'm still new to the thread but your posts the last few days have touched my heart and I wish I could say something to ease your pain but all I can do is send loads of and pray you get your BFP & successful pregnancy soon

MA - I don't really know your whole story but am I was so pleased to read your post and that you had a good appointment

 

[purplelou]

missyt I hope your day gets better!

Macwooley - I am an Essex girl myself and also moved here because of hubby, about 6 1/2 years ago.

Lava...fab numbers and how exciting for your scan this coming week

Twinkle...wit woo

Padbrat...sending you hugs and strength hun

Skye...how's you doing hun?

MA...brilliant news, Amelia is going the whole way I tell you

FM...hope SF is good

Missy...I broke down in baby gap in Vegas getting baby clothes for my friends little boy. I should have been 20weeks and buying my own baby clothes. It is hard, it is emotionally heartbreaking but you will get your baby

to the newbies and anyone I've missed

AFM, thought UTI had returned but GP ruled it out and thinks I have pelvic infection. This means no never mind TTC this month which will be fine if that's the correct diagnosis. I've had a reaction to the meds already, been advised not to take anymore and see GP on Monday. I feel rough as boots, GP is also trying to get me scanned to check I don't have a cyst or the start of endo. I really am getting quite annoyed

Have a lovely weekend all

XxX

 

[Macwooly]

Neversaynever - hope they sort out what is wrong with you soon so that you feel better and can recommence TTC

 

[purplelou]

Neversaynever - wish you better soon!

 

[Neversaynever]

Thank you, my neighbours for real

XxX

Aww, thank you Purplelou! It's been a 10 year journey and one I'd never imagined but it's all starting to come together nicely. Tomorrow is wk 23 for me. I'll have officially passed the milestone of the death of our son 2 years ago and I wouldn't have DREAMED I'd make it past viability date at 24wks now I'm looking forward to getting her nursery stuff home for wk 28 and going to my shower at wk 34 and "hopefully" making it to October.

Lord knows there've been setbacks in our journey, but it finally happened when we were told it never would. So I believe in miracles! Not just one, but two! My son is still alive, he's just alive in heaven waiting for me to hold him for an eternity. My daughter? Well, I'll have her here on earth with me. It's a gift for sure!

Thank you so much Macwooly! Your very kind!

I look forward to hearing your journeys and pray they aren't as long or tiring as mine was. I'll jump for joy when you reach your bfp!

Ah never...those darn setbacks. So sorry hunny! The good news is they caught it. Going into a pregnancy with any infection is dangerous. So I look at it as a blessing to get rid of the horrid infection, gather yourself for the next month....and find that romance for the next cycle. This is sure a "process" for all us ttc gals. SO worth it though in the end when your holding your baby!

Waiting patiently as you all are for more bfp's to come and "graduate". Love all you gals!

 

[Macwooly]

Well one cycle is ending for me today and tomorrow will be CD1 as the has arrived this afternoon

But I'm staying positive and if I ignore 2009 this will be my third cycle trying and if July is my month I will be testing on DH's birthday as my AF will be 2-3 days late by then

I feel God will bless me & my DH with a LO but only he knows when it will happen and I have to be patient in the meantime.

And I daily thank him for my current blessings of my DH who is my rock; my 3 cats who make me feel so privileged when they cuddle me and my 4 dogs who have helped me stay off the antidepressants for 12 months now and this site which gives me daily support and inspiration and has stopped me feeling alone in my desire for a LO

 

[purplelou]

Neversaynever - wow another west mids lady!! hopefully the powers that be will put something in the water so we can all catch our sticky beans soon xx

 

[skye2010]

Hey girls, I'm just back from holiday and had no time to catch up on posts. I'm still really sad for Debs .

I also just briefly saw that FM and Missy is out. I'm really sorry girls. I was hopeful that this was your month It's very upsetting to have a negative after a tx. Girls I'm sending you both loads and loads of love and hugs. I'm sorry that it didn't work this time. But please keep in mind that both of you lovely girls will have your baby in the end. We all will. Untll than all this anxiety will remain for the time being

The journey to Tuscany and the way back was very uncomfortable. I'm gonna have a scan on Monday. Untill than I'm all pins and needles.

Promise I will catch up with u all in a couple of days.

 

[Neversaynever]

MA...I'm glad it's being looked into as I feel that whatever is giving me grief right now, it's preventing me getting that sticky BFP so I'm prepared to wait. I'm not going to allow myself to feel pressured anymore as it's not healthy. Reading some posts lately have made me realise how I need OH on board on every aspect.

Purplelou...can't beat the old brummie land

XxX

Awwww honey i am so sorry you have to go through this. You go to that shower, and you soak up all those preggy vibes, and you know what, i think its a sign that you got the maternity top, i think its a very good sign that your going to be needing one very soon!! Hang in there honey, sending you big warm hugs.

I do love how unconditionally a dog loves you

My 4 dogs ranging from 50lb to 110lb and adore them all
