    Thanks Claire. I just looked at what would happen if I put in a high temperature for tomorrow and it changes it. So must be 3 temperature increases. Thank you.

    No problem. Looks like you were right then!

    hurray finally got my PMA back, thanks guys. Have finally got a high on my CBFM, it may not be a high yet, but at least I know I am heading in the correct direction. Snuggle time I think tonight.

    It would be so much easier if we could just get a baby off the shelf. No messing about and upset with TTC. Would also help with the envy I feel for those that get pregnant straight away (no offense meant to those that are lucky). My friend told me the other day about how easy it was for her to get pregnant, luckily I don't think she saw my luminous green eyes.

    Sooooooo cold out there. Hating walking up to work today its so brrrrrr. Didn't help that we had to clean the gutters out and everything is frozen. Luckily I couldn't reach the gutters properly so had to send OH up there. But instead got covered in frozen leaves.
    Luckily OH is ok after his fall yesterday, slightly bruised and hit his head, but it hasn't knocked any sense into him. Think I was more worried as one of our mates fell off the back of his lorry last year and broke his arm in three places and had to have nearly six months off work. And another fell off a scaffold and ended up a lot worse than that. So am terrified of falls now. Don't think I will be doing my usual job of cleaning the moss off our work's roof in a few months.
    Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.

    I thought I'd de-lurk and have a little lookey on the forum again (told you guys I wouldn't be able to stay away) and I'm so glad I did as this post has given me and the Hubby a right old giggle.

    So thank you moneypuddle x

    *waves* good to see you fannyanna.

    Evening ladies, hope everyone's having a fun saturday night.:wave:

    Massive thank you for all the hugs and comments following my rant last night. OH really can be a useless @rse at times but hey, can't they all?! We've always had very different views on birthdays, in all the years we've been together. They've never been a big deal in his family, they barely even mention them. Whereas in my family we've always really made a fuss - not necessarily financially, just making an effort to make the person feel special.

    I did mention (for several hours!) how unimpressed I was with his plans for the day. He's said he won't go to the pub, and won't play football in the morning. Tbh I don't mind him playing in the morning as I understand that he's part of a team and it's not fair for me to make him let people down. But he has offered so I guess that's the main thing!:rotfl:

    To be fair to him he's been lovely today - we went out for the day and for a walk in the sunshine at a country park near us which really cheered me up. I think the horror (!!) of being 33 in a week's time and never having even got pg yet is making me v v stressed.:mad:

    Sorry for such a long ramble again..... will be quiet now!:embarasse

    ps - I actually laughed out loud at the thieving baby comment:rotfl:

    Glad you are feeling better about it, I'm sure now you have made yourself very clear he will do something special. I think my OH has been mentally scarred by seeing me as a total emotional wreak when my ex tried to buy make me choose my own birthday present which had to come from boots so he could pay for it with vouchers he got for xmas. By the next year the ex was the ex, and OH the OH. Never had a bad birthday present since ;)

    BTW I am also 33 next month and stressing about not be p/g.

    Glad you're feeling better tealover. mrhappy is a bit weird about birthdays and family stuff, his family aren't very close and it's taken him a long time to get used to my mad lot and our birthday do's etc. He still doesn't really understand why my mum and dad get him birthday/christmas pressies. We all make a huge fuss of the birthday person and it totally freaks him out-he just doesn't see it as a big deal

    Of course, we never knew no. 2 would be so difficult to produce.... :o
    How long have you been trying now Ali? I can't see you on the first page. I read up on the <12wks thread before joining this thread and saw some of your highs and lows, but as I've not seen much of you on here I assumed you'd gotten your #2 and come back for #3... :o:(

    Bloody knackered as MIL ended up in hospital last night with jaundice thanks to the liver cancer then discharged herself at 2am!
    Sorry to hear that Ikkle, I hope she's comfortable now and you and DH have managed some rest. I know that feeling, down at the hospital with MIL til stupid hours :(

    Littlezee, my MIL is 83:shocked: She thinks she had a good life and is ready to go:o
    35 day cycles sounds good:cool: :shocked: re placenta looking af.
    83 is a pretty good age I guess.:cool: I can understand that there must be a point where you don't want to be faffed with any more. I feel like I've had more tests, prods and pokes (medically speaking ;)) than anyone needs in a lifetime, and I'm not quite yet 30! :o
    My MIL's only 65 and she's barely mobile, had 2 heart attacks, a kidney out and a stroke (or two, looking at her scan results).:o:cool:

    :

    I guess about 4 & a half years. I had the pill injection after my son was born, and it took AGES for my periods to come back after I stopped it. Not a sniff of pregnancy for 2 years, and then 4 pregnancies since August 2009, all ending in miscarriage. I've had all the recurrent miscarriage tests but nothing has shown up. I do have a fabulous consultant and next time I fall he wants me to do daily clexane (blood thinning) injections. The consultant has had quite a lot of success with this treatment on women in my situation (unexplained recurrent miscarriage after 1 successful pregnancy) but of course there are no guarantees, so we'll see :)

    I haven't posted much on here since my 3rd loss but I've always lurked :o I'm too nosey to stay away completely :rotfl:

    yeah I guess. I wonder if anyone ever feels as though they actually have a better body AFTER they have their baby
    Ladies who don't have boobs/hips before pg can be quite happy about it afterwards ;)

    I'll be 30 in a few months. I'm disappointed about not having a family yet, or being pg, but stressing? Nah. I used to stress about it, a lot, but it's a waste to be stressing. It'll happen when/how God wants it to in the end, so IMO as long as we're doing what we can, the rest is not up to us. :) I'm hoping now that if I'm not pg by my 30th I'll at least be the healthiest I've been for a very long time by my 30th :) I would love not to be self conscious (for a change!) about myself on photos with my children/bumps, so added bonus. :p

    Ah I see. I really feel for you :( Like I say, I lurked on <12wk and you were one that stuck out to me (along with MV and a few others) but I really hoped that you'd gotten your happy ending and we'd just been ships passing, iyswim? (as soon as I found out I had PCOS I stopped lurking on <12wk, it was too painful :o)

    My MIL has had clexane because of the stroke, so I can just about get the relevance of that. I really, really hope you fall soon and that the injections do exactly what they need to - nothing more and nothing less :)

    I don't blame you re not posting much, either. I go through moments where I just want to forget about it all and not bother coming on here, but then I'd get lonely and miss out on all the goss, and something said lures me into posting again ;)
