ginvzt, I will have to rename you the domestic goddess, well done on all the kitchen activities.,

I don't know about that - you should see my house now, it looks like a tip after all the cooking. I did more cooking yesterday and now we have on offer biscotti (with dried cherries, cranberries, raisins, almonds and pistachios - allergy advice here) and some "apple butter" (apple spread/jam from my preserves book). You are welcome to help yourselves to some biscottis or I can make hot toast with apple butter. Kettle is on (OH just made me a cup of tea!!!)

emmzy

Hey all, I think LL said in the other thread ages ago that she only goes online at work but doesnt stop me checking every few hours lol

Wednesday is my appointment to get violated at the hospital Iv never got it out for anyone I wasnt sleeping with so feeling a bit strange about it my mum reckons its the same as having any other examination and its all in my head tho I dont believe it! Not atall looking forward to it but I have my nice new pants ready :rotfl:
I decided to do that lighterlife diet I was on about before and this is my week 4 and Iv lost 17lbs so far :D:D:D Im over the moon and already picking new wedding dresses, the one I have wont fit anymore and I kinda went off it after I already bought it, OHs doing his nut about it and how we already have so much to pay for and I want a second dress but what does he know lol. All your talk of cakes is driving me mental tho Im desperate for real food, Ive been a veggie for 14 years and have never thought about about meat all this time and now I want to taste almost everything OH eats!
I also have a pile of OV & PG tests in the bathroom that never get used the OV ones dont work and the PG ones obviously havent been needed otherwise I wouldnt be here! Heres hoping Ill need the some day lol but someone can have the OV ones if they want them stupid things never give me 2 lines either

Cant remember what you all said that I was catching up on and planning on replying to but never mind Im sure if I have anything useful to add Ill be back again during the week..

emmzy, big hugs for your first time. The first thing to know is, however undignified it is, try and relax, cos exams can be uncomfortable if you dont. Personnally, Im a bit funny about all that and hate being 'exposed' so I just stare at the ceiling and do breathing exercises to stay relaxed. HTH and good luck with it all. Well done on the weight loss.

Meercat71, they are lovely arent they! I must admit it never bothers me to have to wait. Usually they tell me when I arrive that they are running late, and we go up to Starbucks and have a coffee! I always think that being busy is a good sign of success. Maybe we have seen each other at some point? I am there on Tuesday at 12 and 3pm so if you are there for a scan, look out for us!

Yum Yum the cooking sounds scrummy

I hope all is well with Leopardlady, hopefully she will give us an update tomorrow!

Have a good week - lilo

Hi there

I am there for an 830am scan on Tuesday so we'll miss again but let me know when you know you're next in.. I'll find out on Tuesday whether we are abandoning the cycle or not so cross everything for me ;-)

Emmzy - yes do just relax if you can.. it's hard but only short term in the bigger picture. I wear a cardigan dress so it covers my bits a bit more ;-)

Hope it goes well meercat - it is gutting to abandon a cycle but sometimes it is the best thing to do.

Leopardlady

Good morning ladies, i hope you are all ok?

Sorry i didn't come on over the weekend, as emmzy said i tend to only come on at work.

But yes i did test yesterday, not saturday, as was at my parents and didn't feel right!

I got my BFP :T:j:j:j

OH and I are over the moon but also trying our best not to get excited until we have got through at least another week. Thank you all so much for all your support, you are an amazing bunch of women. I will not be leaving you just yet as i am only too aware that this is not definite for a while!

I will lurk, so i can keep an eye on you all and i really hope that my good news will help you all, i had given up on this month and had my appointment.

Good luck to all of you

Thanks :A

*delurks from the other ttc thread*
OMFG! *huge* congrats LL, I hope its sticky as superglue! I'm so happy for you (in fact I've just shrieked with joy in the office ) :j:j

Massive hugs and every sticky vibe I can muster are coming your way :T

ginvzt

LeopardLady!!!!! Finally!!!! I hope you broke the spell on this thread and now we will get more BFPs!!!!

I am so glad for you! Best of wishes and take care of yourself! I really hope all goes well!

I am incredibility hungry this morning, I think this month Clomid will show it's teeth and I will eat through my month. As in previous cycles i was fine and didn't put any weight on, I am only CD10 and when I stepped on the scales this morning, I was shocked, as I have put on about 3kg in just over a week!!!!!! (rushes off to hide that muffin) I think gym is calling for me tonight...
