Nicki, you do make me smile with your TTC knowledge, it makes me imagine that your like a scientist lady with ladies coming to see you with their cm in little specimen jars and you go ooooh EWCM your fertile.


I told you I had a vivid imagination at the mo lol x

Huge Congratulations LemonMelon! :j Really happy for you!

I want a baby shower for the cakes and games (so basically I want a kid's party ) but I hate asking for presents and wouldn't expect any never mind saying what I don't need! That is something I really don't like!

Yesterday morning was 36.65C (97.97F) and today was 36.95C (102.11F)!!!

I'm not sure those fahrenheit conversions are right! 102.11F is quite a high fever whereas 36.95C is spot on normal.

36.95C is 95.8F. Is FF giving those conversions?? If so they're not right!

nothing wrong with that . I think it's just the expectation of gifts that narks some people, along with the fact they can be uncomfortable if you're struggling with ttc or have had losses. I know I won't be going to my friends later in the year as she was due 2 weeks after me as it's just too painful.

Massive congratulations lemon!!!!! I hope you have a healthy and very happy 9 months!! :j

I'm with you Birdie, I would have a baby shower but not for gifts etc, just cake and games .
I have a plan already (:o)for gifts etc thanks to my mum's idea... OH and I have been engaged for 5 years but have no plans to marry anytime in the near future, since we have lived together for 7 years so wouldn't need/want any wedding gifts when the time comes and we only want one child so we are going to set up a gift list with mothercare, which works the same as a wedding list, so people can buy something if they want to. It means not getting 3 bouncers/2 moses baskets etc either!

We have deliberately waiting to start TTC until we knew we could afford all the stuff we need and my loss of pay etc so any gifts we got would be purely a bonus but it makes me annoyed with people who EXPECT gifts etc. for the child at a baby shower :mad:

Anyway, CD9 for me (i think) and getting ready to BD next week and get this little beanie!!!

Have a great weekend everyone :beer:

Hi all,

HUGE temp dip below cover line and every sign AF is here - Boo. I was feeling OKish about it this morning, because my temps had shown it was on it's way - but feeling very tearful now about it all.

Mostly because we are having to cancel a weekend in Barcelona we had planned for my birthday weekend in 2 weeks, because of my job loss Feel super duper sorry for myself at the moment.

As for the Interview this morning, I felt didn't go all that well. I'm usually pretty good at interviews and manage to display my passion for it, and be pretty articulate, but today, for some reason the words, I couldn't get out.

ALSO, without giving too much of who it was with, away - it was for a huge company who started the interview wanting me to taste their product and, I-er, don't like it! Not a good omen eh! I really do like their beliefs and mission statement though! Heh!

The irony of it was't lost me on this morning, tried to not burst into giggles during the 'tasting' - I had to explain I didn't like it and had never had it before and just smell it, without gagging.

Ugh I hate coffee too. I hope you get the job though!

((((((BIG hugs ))))) for Primmer, 2b and tea lover (and any one else that wants one)

tea lover - was it the Bupa one with the chickens, that keeps making me teary too! don't worry about moaning on here- its what we're here for. I really do hope things sort themselves out for you soon.

2b - that's a shame about the interview, I suppose if you don't like the product it would be hard to work for them? On the other hand you maybe came across just fine even if it wasn't as good as the normal you - they'd be lucky to have you anyway.

Colds definitely suck - cause of my ops I have almost no stomach muscles at the moment and a massive scar so coughing and sneezing is a full body motion and really hurts. I'm sure I've been more moany about this cold than having major surgery!

Good luck for your new job Claire I really like new starts

thanks.

congratulations on your bfp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not one for baby showers or anything either. Didn't have one when DD was due and wouldn't have one when we have another baby.

I can kind of see where she is coming from, in that she doesn't want to receive lots of the same types of things. And she is very organised and will have bought everything for when the baby comes. Plus she has a DD as well, so will already have things. But I just feel a bit uncomfortable now not going with anything. She has asked me to be godmother (this is how organised she is, as the christening is almost planned!) so I am already helping out with cakes and games etc.

She doesn't know we are TTC, so she isn't aware of my struggles. I do find that I have distanced myself from her during the pregnancy :o Some babies and bumps I can cope better with than others for some crazy reason?! My nephew is 10 months old and I have never felt upset or even particularly bonded with him. Whereas some other babies have a different effect on me and make me cry after I have seen them as the broodiness gets that bad. For some reason her bump is one of the 'bad' ones, lol! One of the ones I struggle to cope with. Can't even begin to think what I am going to be like when the bump arrives :o

It's weird how you notice symptoms and your body so much more isn't it. I've had a coldsore for the third month in a row around the time of OV. Never had a coldsore before in my life, then 3 in a row!

Yay for normal cycle TeamLowe!

Have to say, re Baby Showers, I'm not a fan. Maybe I'm just to traditional and English but to me they are too modern and American. And as for the friend who put a list of gifts she didn't need on Facebook she certainly wouldn't be getting a physical gift from me!

I know what you mean about symptoms. Despite trying not too, I can't help starting to analyse every feeling and twinge and immediately linking it to ttc. I am the second week of 2ww now, and so starts the ss'ing I simply can't help! Of course, at the same time AF symptoms start to kick in - so you just can't tell. Sooo frustrating.

Re baby showers and the like, I am suffering a lot with baby envy at the moment. In fact, I don't really want to see friends at all, as I feel like the fact I am the only 35 year old without a child is like the elephant in the room. I am probably imagining it, but it makes every event hard.

Resume normal PMA serivce now.

Has anyone seen secrets around recently? Good to see BZ back, but secrets seems to have disappeared...
