    BZ - how you doing?
    Um, ok I guess. We're both stressed to the hilt, in all honesty, with everything with MIL mainly. Just don't have what it takes to deal with anything else IRL, so all-sorts going by the wayside. :o I really need to get back on top of things, but just cooking something healthy, drinking enough water and sleeping enough is hard enough atm :o

    I think ov is approaching though, so hoping DH isn't too stressed to be persuaded.;) Trying not to stress too much about it though, cos I'm kinda thinking we won't get lucky however hard we try anyway :o
    If you sit and stress the 'what if's' of pregnancy you will drive yourself crazy ;)

    Interestingly those discussing due dates, my EDD is the day after my DS1's birthday - oops !
    I think babies come early and late, it's impossible to plan exactly when it'd arrive, so what's the point in worrying about it...? Then again, I've been trying too long to care about theoretical EDDs and have no kids birthdays to consider. Mind you, my birthday's almost smack bang in 6 weeks between 2 of my siblings' birthdays, and none of us have thought twice about it.


    :wave: everyone, btw, still reading along just v quiet both IRL and on here

    Good morning. apologies for being awol the last week or so, I have been lurking, but not really in the right frame of mind to post. As I was trying to get my head round the info from our FS appt my son has been diagnosed with a chronic illness, my mums cancer has more than likely returned and my gran is very ill in hospital :( I'm still trying to deal with the fact that we cannot get any fertility help on the nhs-if mrh was with someone who didn't already have children he would get sorted, but as I already have one we won't get anything, but like I say I was dealing with it when the other stuff just floored me.

    Anyway, welcome to newbies, and congratulations to BFPs-lemonmelon, that was a lovely way to tell your OH, really made me smile.

    As our wonderful QQ noticed I am CD3, not that I expected anything else!

    Hope everyone is well-Happy Monday x

    Mrshappy - sorry to hear all you are going through in rl (hugs). I have been thinking of you and hoping you and your DH were doing ok.

    BZ - it is not surprising that things have been going by the wayside with all that has been happening. I do know what you mean about thinking it will never happen but don't give up, you have done well with your weight loss and can't be long now until you see fs again.

    Hope everyone is ok, I have day off work today so had a nice lay in but time to get up now as have to get ready and take our dog to get his hair cut. Hugs to all who need them and sbdta.

    mrshappy - (((hugs))). Sounds like you need one hun x.

    Hope everyone's ok and monday hasn't been too much of a shock to the system so far.

    Not much to report here (as ever!) CD53 now, longest cycle since the one after I came off the pill (2.5 yrs ago). No pg symptoms at all, and three BFNs over the last few weeks. Not looking good really is it? Think something has gone wrong in there!

    Right - have to find some work motivation from somewhere..... must have some somewhere... maybe.

    hi ladies!
    ooh i was so so drunk on saturday night :s hubby said it was the drunkest he's seen me since my hen do! and then we had a friend's baby's christening in the morning. that was pleasant lol
    their baby girl looked beautiful and our other friends baby boy looked sooo cute so now i can't decide which one i'd like better lol although obvioulsy i'd be estatic with any healthy forever baby :)

    woke up in such a good mood which has only been tainted a bit by coming to work. made me realise how stressed out i've been about things and i'm glad i'm feeling better, hopefully it's the gym endorphins working their magic :)
    decided with DH this morning that if we have lost weight and i've met my july goal we'll go to somewhere all inclusive in the summer. so it'll probably be a last minute deal to make sure we have lost the weight so i don't have to get myself all tied up wondering if i'll be too pregnant for it cos i'll already know by the time we book :) x x

    Hugs to BZ & MrsH.

    OH gone for SA this morning. He has to do it at the hospital. He went alone - the information leaflet says you can't go in the room with him ......

    He didn't say anything about it before he left the house - although this is normal behaviour for him anyway. He doesn't have the need to talk about 'stuff'.

    I have made a GP appointment for 10 days time - hopefully we will have the results by then.

    As we were unable to BD when I ov'd - due to the test today, I feel strangely liberated as the 2ww is irrelevant. Compared to others I am fortunate to have regular periods so should only be a few weeks until trying again. Also, meant I could have a good time on the booze on Saturday night and don't need to worry about being pg when I am on holiday in a couple of weeks!

    Check out my PMA!

    Morning all! :wave:

    ((Hugs)) for MrsHappy, sounds like you've had a lot on your plate, hope things start to look up soon :)

    I saw my SIL on Saturday and she's starting to show a little already (she's 10 weeks) but I feel much better about it now; I took charge of the conversation and because I was leading the baby talk rather than being bombarded with it when I didn't want to hear it I managed to get myself excited about the fact that I'm going to be an Aunt... I'd still rather be a Mummy, but Auntie is good for now :)

    I've bought a dress for my friend's wedding in the summer, it's a pretty floaty chiffon number that looks nice on now... but it also has a little room for growth around the belly and bust so should still fit if I get PG :o I'm excited because now I've found a dress I can look for a hat! :D I was looking yesterday and telling OH that I'm going to buy this one or this one, think he's getting worried! :rotfl:

    Excellent PMA TTC40! :D Hope the SA results come back OK :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
