Huge congrats to both shelly and lilo, welcome back to the mad house

Been feeling very rough this week, although OH is enjoying the complete free rein he sees regarding bding, so that is good, he keeps saying it will make me feel better, and it does for a while

Oh well, work is dragging this week, which is not helping as it is giving me too much time to think and i have started ss, so that has to stop! at least i am going to try and not write it all down (ahhhh) We went to the cinema last night and watched the blood fest that is Inglorious Basterds! It was a good film if you like Quentin Tarrantino! It was good to end the evening with some bding as otherwise i would have dreamt about the film lol!

Well back to printing, and booking a train to London for my conference appearance on Monday!!!

Loads of sticky dust to you all, and may sunshine fill your days

I am feeling good thanks Winky was feeling very rough this am, but picked up quite well this pm

Probably helped by my gorgeous OH telling me to book a day off for my birthday and then i have booked a table (50% off the bill ) in Bath with my Brother, his girlfriend and us, it is her birthday tomorrow and we are going to go and visit on Saturday So all in all a great day

Hope everyone else is feeling sunny and happy

Good morning ladies, i am good this morning, although lots of cramps, none too painful and all short lived, so not bad. OH seems to be coming down with something a little nasty, so that is not good, he is competing in a triathalon on Sunday, so need to dose him up to help him finish it!!

I on the other hand am struggling with my asthma, as there is a flu bug going around work, so that is not great, but hey ho, it looks like it is going to be a very sunny day here

I am on CD27 and 11DPO, so the cramps could be due to AF arriving a little early?? Oh well, hpoe you all have a wonderful day

Feeling a bit stressed today. Got my college reunion on Saturday (20 years) and am going with my best friend who is flying in from the States for it. It will be so great to see her but she looks EXACTLY the same as she did at college, I kid you not. She's half Indian and those genetics have been incredibly kind to her as far as ageing goes. And she hasn't had kids (through choice) so her life is very serene and just as she wants it, and she hasn't got baby weight either. I, meanwhile, am about two stone heavier, and decidedly older (the man at the station couldn't believe that I was the person pictured in my railcard this morning, despite it being taken only six years ago...). So I feel fat and frumpy and I know I should just go in there smiling but it's going to take a massive effort. Also at teh back of my head is the worry that my ex fiance might be there. We were together eight years and he was a total @r$ehole though I, of course, was oblivious to that at the time. I don't think he'll go, but it's a worry nevertheless.

And of course on top of that, I'm not at a very happy point in my life at the moment. It's going to be tough talking about thow things are because of course, what I want more than anything is a baby. And I don't want to get drawn into talking about miscarriages and misery because that would be terrible, but how do you find something else to focus on? And people will go, 'just the one kid? Don't you want any more?' like they always do. ARGGGGHHHH.

Hello :hello:

Can i join in here please? I have been on the TTC forum for a while and notice some familiar names but im approaching my 12 month milestone now and yesterday had (to me) devastating news

My story for those who dont know me...
Stopped my pill sept last yr and have since had 4 periods, started off close together but soon lenghthened the last bein a 4 month gap between cycles!
Was referred to gynae month ago and last night had an Us scan which confirmed polysystic ovaries
I no doubt that some of u lovely ladies are in a worse place than me, but i was just hopin that my pill was takin a bit longer than expected to sort itself out!

So now my next app with consultant is not till nov 2nd which feels like yrs away, so im tryin to get in for a cancellation so i can discuss options and treatment. Had a google search on pcos and its quite scary

I am not overweight, dont have acne or excess hair, no family history so bit baffled why this has happened to me.

Sorry long post, bit upset. Thank u for reading x

Oh Sarah, i am sorry you are so worried, i haven't been to any reunions for a very long time due to being ill towards the end of my time at school, but would now be happy to go back and just show how happy i am with my gorgeous husband

I know it is very tough and you have been through a lot, but maybe try and look on the positives in your life, like you OH etc and then have a bath / shower, shave and slap on loads of body butter, put on some lovely make up and just smile loads, it will unnerve those whod don't know you that well and will impress those that haven't seen you for a while. A smile will take the weight off and be all anyone sees. On the talking side i really don't know how to help, i still don't know what to talk about except being on here and now the silly things that go on at work!

Good luck and i am sure you will wow them with your beauty
