    I would find that really really hard tinks. Hugs.

    CBFM still high for me today, and I have clear very very stretchy EWCM so I think a peak is very close. Have spent the day very productively clearing out our study which doubles as the children's playroom. We are due to have it redecorated after Christmas, including putting down a wooden floor, so it was in dire need to a major declutter. I would say after an entire afternoon in there, and with 3 black sacks of rubbish, 1 box for freecycle and 2 boxes of toys to be put away for a new baby as outgrown by the toddler that I am oooh, about half to a third of the way through the job :( Not sure when I will next get a long stretch of time to tackle it again, and just hoping the children don't trash it back to its former state in the meantime! Can anyone answer for me though why children only become interested in toys when you pack them in a box to put them in the loft or take them to a charity shop? My DS2 genuinely hasn't shown the slightest interest in his soft blocks, Baby Einstein stuff, etc for about 9 months now, but as soon as he saw them being got ready to be packed away, it was the only thing he wanted out to play with!

    All 3 kids off tomorrow as the local schools all shut for Eid. Need to think of something to occupy them all, especially if it is raining, and stop DD killing DS2!

    Hope it goes well Emsbet.

    We have had one counselling session since the birth which I felt went well, would be interested to know how yours goes.

    Thanks.
    Are you going to be having more sessions? I'm not sure what to expect really. I'm hoping I can get late afternoon sessions so I don't have to go back to work after as I can imagine it will be quite emotional.

    emsbet, I'm glad that you are able to get some free counselling, very :money: and hope that it is beneficial. will you be going along as a couple if you can?

    My DH says that he would come if I felt I needed him there but he feels he personally doesn't need to talk to anyone so I think I'll be going alone at least for the first session. I think what upsets him more is seeing me struggle. Not that he hasn't been devestated by what happened but he seems to be dealing with it better than I am.
    Also the counselling is in the day in Manchester and he works in Liverpool so it's not particularly practical.

    I am on a bit of a downer tonight :o Just found out that a friend is PG we lost our beans at the same time and she caught straight after and is now 10 weeks PG :o I am so happy for her but also a bit little green monster :o:o:o:o:o:o:o

    I also hate the 2WW it is PANTS :mad::mad:

    I can totally understand how you're feeling. I think it's a completely normal reaction to have.

    We have another session for next Monday, the funeral is this Wednesday so thought it would be good to have another session as it is sure to bring up a few emotions. It has been hard trying to find the right music and something to say. The music they used to kick to isn't really appropriate.

    We had our last appointment in the morning and found that I had quite a good day afterwards, not as much crying etc.

    I can imagine how you are feeling. I am not sure how I am going to cope if anyone announces their pregnancy even more so if there are twins.

    My brothers girlfriend is pregnant and they would be in the same school year. We were 6 months ahead so that is going to be hard (thankfully not that close so hope won't see them that often, at least until things aren't as raw)

    Lots to read, I think I have caught up but also me being self-obsessed want to chat!

    Well, well, well...

    I have possibly ovulated Friday or Yesterday? :j even though i am only 15 days past my withdrawal bleed and 3 weeks off my pill, from Tuesday I have had cloudy CM and Friday was stretchy, slippery plus had lower ab pain and very emotional Saturday... we have BD'd Sun, Tues, Fri, Sat, and today so surely caught an eggy if there isn't anything wrong with us?!

    makes us feel :cool: but know that AF could easily come soon, plus should I still have stretchy CM? As it's just clear now. Oh I don't know, it would be :rotfl:so amazing to have caught an eggy on first attempt but when I read your trials I know it is more likely to take a LONG time! at least if I have ov'd and do get AF I can start to time things. As far as i know, hubby and I will keep BD'ing so who knows... :o

    emsbet, I'm glad that you are able to get some free counselling, very :money: and hope that it is beneficial. will you be going along as a couple if you can?

    SBDTA :) xx

    Some people often get EWCM for a few days before ovulating, so I would keep BDing for a couple more days if Friday is the first day you got it! Just incase! But if its not stretchy anymore then hopefully it was Saturday and that would be well timed for you.

    Ahh I was wondering why someone I know on facebook who is a teacher said she had the day off tomorrow, I thought what an odd day in the middle of term to be off lol. She works in London thinking about it so I guess thats why as none of the schools here are shut, I suppose for some schools there is no point opening if half the kids wont show up?

    I think Eid is a Muslim holiday QQ, like Christmas to Christians, sort of thing :)

    Tink, I hope it's not knocked you too much :(

    My parents are in the area over the next few days...I'm wondering how much, if anything, to tell them about ttc and gynae referral etc :think: I want to know if mum planned the age gaps between us, or we were "happy accidents", or if they were NTNP, but I don't want/know how to ask :o I've not told them anything so far cos I thought/knew they're drive me insane with it, so I don't want to make what will likely be a stressful time (going back to gynae etc) worse...:think::cool::o

    I'm struggling to stop worrying about Mil long enough to get to sleep now, even though I've been dead on my feet since mid afternoon :cool:
