3, SJ, Jillie, I'm saying all your names in case you search your names

There's a New Palace Adventureland in New Brighton that we could take the train to, or else we could perhaps meet at Liverpool One and maybe have lunch and a wander down to the river? I'm happy either way or if someone has a better idea

Edit: great minds 3!! But whereabouts can we find each other, or should I just assume the Stokke-dar will work?

The station?, i'll get the train over too, it's easier.
Or name a shop at L1?
What time are we thinking. I can be over there by 10 and need to leave at 2.30ish - so anytime between those is ok with me.

Looking purely on temperatures, they've put ovulation where I would put it but bearing in mind that
a) this doesn't correspond with cervical mucus observations
b) it doesn't correspond with your ovulation tests
I did get a very dark test at CD18, but not dark enough to be positive
c) you have had some far out temperatures (days 17 and 23)
I'd probably say there's some problem with the temperature taking and/or the thermometer and that the other indicators are more likely to be correct. Since you have a baby and are presumably getting up in the night for her that may be something which is affecting the temperatures - IIRC the ideal is taking the temperature at the same time every day and following at least three hours continuous sleep.
Been taking my temp at between 7:30am and 8am every morning, Lily sleeps through so i dont get up during the night

But that is all just suppostion and opinion on my part.

Would waking up for a brief minute affect the 3 hours continuous sleep? I always wake up about 6am because im thirsty.


Hi everyone else

Just a quick one as Lily has decided she will cry unless my full attention is on her :rotfl:

:j For the interview SS

:j For teeth!

For Taras DS.

And ((hugs)) where needed.
Lily has doctors at 5:20pm about her eczema, the double base hasn't worked at all

Speak soon! Lily is full on screaming now :rollseyes:

I can probably be there by 10:30-11.

Zara looks massive and easy to find, how about there, on the side that faces Chavasse Park at 11?

SugarSpun

NMS, I'm so sorry, I missed your post altogether. :eek: at your run of luck, hopefully it's over now and you can get the good stuff you're due.

How do you check your boobs for lumps? I've been asked a few times at doctors etc if I check and I always say yes but I don't, when you poke around your boobs you can feel muscle and general lumpyness from the tissue?

My aunt went to the doctors t'other day cause she found a lump near her breast/armpit and he said it might just be stress and then he felt her breasts and found lumps in them

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

jillie1974

i check in the shower. i lather up and stretch one arm up in the air and just feel all around and then do the other. i found doing it everytime in the shower means i get to know how my breasts feel normally so anything not normal would be found. our breasts can feel different at different times of the month so its good to know how they feel.

there is a chart on the NHS website and some others, i will go and get a link

Buttons - you should see your nurse who can show you how to check. We had them show us at Tiny Stars once and they had some fake boobs to play with, basically you take two fingers and press quite hard all over your boob and under your arm. You may feel some small lumps which IIRC are mammary glands. You should check monthly and at the same time each month but not around your period as you can get lumpy boobs when AF is around. I think they advise to do it whilst in the shower.

NMS - what !!!!!! news! You should definitely come next week as should Dora!

GUTTED I will be missing SS on Monday (can't you miss your flight home and be stuck here til Wednesday) and SB on Thursday!
If I was still on Mat Leave I could make all these meets

OH may be joining us Wednesday if that's OK! He needs to get car MOT'd and it might be Wednesday so I said we could go to a lovely park in Manchester He'll probably b00ger off for a run or something.

3 - hope you get the SW kicked into touch

Redstar - Freddie is a big boy for 11 weeks! I can't remember Amber's weight then but i do know it was nowhere near that!!

Beenie - thanks for your comment - I have no perspective on his weight as DD was huge!!
Seriously, she was in the 98th percentile for her height, (the midwife refused to believe that the hospital had measured her corrently until she measured her height too and went strangely silent :rotfl:) and her weight, though a little small propotionally, was still a lot heavier than him. She was 8lb 12oz at birth, he was 7lb 4oz and they were a bit concerned as he dropped more than they thought he would, and took longer than anticipated to start putting weight back on - he only reached his birth weight at 6 weeks!!! So I'm really pleased that he's been piling the weight on since.

Ladies, I'm going to be leaving the internet in twenty minutes or so and can't guarantee that I'll be back online. But assuming I'm not, I will be loitering outside the Chavasse Park side of Zara at 11am on Monday morning. FB people will recognise my adorable baby
