PAGE 8!!!!!!!!
CD 2 for me. Think that means my cycle was fairly normal this time and yet we completely - oh yes completely - failed to make the most of it. LMAO - we are NOT good at this game. Sigh.
Been in tears a lot this time but not over the ttc thing, just hormones. Oh and my gorgeous 3yr old is being both angelically needy and devilishly shunning. I feel a bit punch drunk emotionally but am hoping for peaceful waters soon.
On the art front - I am back in the groove - feels good. Maybe that's the problem? Maybe he can sense I am sharing my head space???
Did anyone see 'Outnumbered' tonight - first time I've seen it. I was in stitches...very funny. Definitely one for parents.
Night all. XXXXX

have a great weekend sheez!
How are you doing sandrad? trying not to symptom spot but madly doing so anyway and despite some classic symptoms - including feeling very nauseous - its a bfn!!! Strange - I must just have a bug.
Hey ho - always next month eh?
Glad you're on the mend Sleepy - you've had one bug after another - poor thing.
Hope we all have a better month!!

Thanks Sheez. You have a great time. xx

Evening San, lots of
to you & sprinklings of 
.. we need an 'old girl bfp again!I'm off to visit parents and sis with DS. I adore my sis and her 3 girls, wish we lived closer, we always have a fun time and don't want to leave... 200 miles away they are - boo.
Re Christmas cards .... I lurve recieving them and even buying them (done that, half-price at sainsbury's) but it's the writing of them except for my favorite people ... I just get bored. Although I have 3 pressies bought and know what I'm getting 6 more so only 6 more to sort out - so I'm "cooking with gas" on the pressie front . just need to make sure DH gives me that oh-so-important pressie I want.. tee hee wonder what he's say if I asked for a jig every night possible ..
Stay positive girls, especially when you poas...

Hi
Thanks for all your good wishes its nice to know I'm among friends - even virtual ones
Well its 2 days until af is due and I have very mixed feelings - one minute I'm quietly confident the next I'm convinced af will be here any minute. Today I almost gave in and tested - but I resisited simply couldn't face that awful bfn .... perhaps thats a sign that sub-consciously I know its gonna be a bfn .... grr see how bad I am - this has got to be the worst month so far - not in an upset if I'm not kind of way more of a for goodness sake I wish I was kind of way - lol! What a load of waffle my brain is seriously mangled - to much assignment I think!!
I'm glad you're feeling better Sleepy and sending you a bucket of babydust as your board the jiggy train again! Sheez have a lovely break are you going anywhere nice? Selwyn I know what you mean about the boobs - I keep peaking at mine to see if they've grown anymore - not symptom spotting though
fingers crossed for us!Well must get on the delights of a research review on pre-school healthy eating is calling me! Babydust and luck to one and all.

PS: I like Christmas cards

Hi all, I'm away for a few days, well well nearly a week, I hope for some good news from someone, anyone on my return.
Glad you are on the mend Sleepy, poor you, that's been ages, hope the creativity hasn't suffered with your art!
& Selwyn hope your symptoms are bfp ones... I agree Chrimbo cards are a pain, I just get a sore wrist from writing and head from trying to write something original!Have fun all x
19/11/08 09:33
Sorry not been on last couple of days - been feeling sooo rough and poorly but finally thnk I am on the mend. Hurrah.
Sandrad - ((((())))) - it hurts hon - I feel for you - I was surprised how much in a way, kept picturing a wee one in the midst of our lives. Hang on in there hon, I really really hope it's your turn again soon.
It can be so hard when others are toting their broods about can't it Sheez - tc love, maybe it'll be our turn next - wouldn't that be the best Christmas present ever!? ((((()))))
Well Selwyn, hope those boobs keep on growing
and you get your bfp this month. Well done on resisting the POAS by keeping them at work - no sneaking off with a discreet pot to the loos lol. Seriously though - when do you think you'll test? Ooooh - I hope it's a bfp hon.No chance for me this month so I'm just pleased that am starting to feel better so that we can get on with the jiggy next month - I have pre af symptoms now so hopefully my visit will start tomorrow or day after then weeehhhheyyy for the Christmas jigs.
TC all (Steenie if you do make a voodoo doll - please please upload a pic hon
) and for all of us. XXXXX19/11/08 09:17
Haha - my monster boobies are even bigger today and DP is getting frisky!!! ( wrong timing m'boy!!).
Have a total mix of symptoms but try as I might to stop symptom spotting and go with the flow - I can't help getting excited. Silly really as I'm only setting myself up for a fall! Well I could test any day soon I guess but am trying not to. My tests are at work so if I can't get to them first thing its not worth using them - so managing not to POAS so far. I have been known to crumble at this point before though and done an afternoon one!!.........
to those at jiggy time - I think random ones can sometimes hit the mark too Sheez - reading a thread by a lady that was doing everything according to opks, timings etc and had a random jig a few days before ov - and then none after that - and it did the trick. Where there's jigging, there's hope lol.Have started my Xmas shopping but being very frugal this year. All adults in our family ( not DPs sadly!!) have agreed not to swap pressis and concentrate on the kids - makes life so much easier. Wish I could ditch the cards though - thats the worst bit! Bah humbug!!! Not getting DD much as I honestly can't think what to get her and she's just had her birthday - Grandma spoils her rotten. Just give her a couple of wee things and put some money in her account - more sense I think.
Hope you're all well.

Evening all. Fertility spell sounds dodgy, but hey anything is worth a try..if you get one and bfp next month then they'll be selling like hot cakes!
Hey Sel, hope your DH is enjoying the whopping boobs - ho ho that made me chuckle
I'm off to zzzzzz now, need my energy as I'm on a promise tomorrow, too early on CD9 but won't see Dh for a week so best have a jig!!
night
x18/11/08 21:07
Selwyn lol that is a fabby idea......voodoo dolls now why didnt I think of that but do they have dolls big and ugly enuff to look like her lol?
Nah only time my ds is at inlaws is if me or dh are there as they dont make any more of an effort to spend time with him but spend more with dn. But at least they keep away. DS isnt missing out, he seems my family just about every day.
Nah she will never grow up but I am not that bothered about her or the other one now its nearly been 3 months this Saturday and I had tried to make the peace but she wasnt interested so not making any more effort just getting on with our lives dont need ignorant people in my life or my ds’s and hes been so much happer since we havent been around them as he obviously feels my anger and hate oops!
He fell in the nursery playground yesterday and skint his face wee scone bless he has a red nose under the nose and scabby lips he looks so sad and in pain and all he wanted was a cuddle so me and Dh have been there for him hes been so cuddly and its great hope he perks up for Saturday for his party.
going to have a bath now and make myself beautiful lol for dh as I am on a promise
Take Care ladies and speak to you soon.....xx
PS have any of you done that fertility spell thing on ebay? I bought one and got an email saying she was casting but havent heard anything?
18/11/08 09:40
Oh sheez - I know exactly what you mean - people talk about having a baby like its as easy as snapping your fingers. If only eh?
Hugs for sandrad - it does get to you when you think about the loss - I'm dreading my due date first then the date of my mmc next year already! Its all the harder if there's no bean to concentrate on isn't it? Well - looks like we are both due af on sat so here's hoping she bogs off and goes somewhere else eh? Imagine - two bfps at once!!!!
Well I've got whopping boobs ( only temporary unfortunately!!!
) and feel really tired - but these are standard af symptoms ( and BFP symptoms) so no clues there. Have a feeling its not my month and am weepy 
( af again?) so who knows. I have cheapy tests here but I WILL NOT POAS, I WILL NOT POAS.............................no point yet anyway and that bfn is so upsetting!Steenie - your sil is horrid for not letting your dn cuddle ds - I hope she's more mature when you aren't around and lets them play together - hopefully its just a show for your benefit? Voodoo dolls may be the way forward?
Hope the work is going well sleepy? You must be due af soon too?
Hope everyone else is well - busy getting jiggy and festive!!
17/11/08 22:57
Steenie, your family are still bonkers but sil obviously needs therapy, poor dn,hope she's not sensitive, poor wee lamb.
San - hope you are still chirpy, a whole year gone so soon, where does the time go.. keep at it.
I spent aftrenoon with DS's pals - all who have 1 or 2 siblings, I feel so left out, but no-one knows, they all obviously think I'm so old it's a no-brainer - doh! Wish i could shock them all. Another pal with a 7year old daughter who is just 40 said, I think I'd like another - I had to bite my tongue - I wanted to yell 'it's not always that simple' .. sigh...
Get at it ladies - jig-away
& hugs x17/11/08 22:17
good lord ladies we were on page 4 at the bottom so bumping up or should i say humpin up
well its day 11 for me and af is due 5th december ladies so you can add to your list.
well no further forward with the mad rellies but hey my sil made a tit of herself yesterday....was dropping mil off and pickin up thomas from fil's when we went in sil and dn was there and she came over to me and dh as normal sil tried tograb her once but dn just ignored her......then we were leaving and my ds went to give her a cuddle and again she grabbed her and shouted on her to get her dinner which i may add was piping hot.
so we go to the door and she appears at the door with mil and waves and says kiss and makes a kiss noise so i go up to give her one and just seen the arm yank her and oh my god she nearly hit her head off the side of the door what an idiot! dn was crying and shouting tacey tacey bye she was howling but mil said nothing......
so gets in the car and sees her at window crying and waving what an utter b*** eh!
she wont stop me from seeing her hey where theres a will there is a way and watch this space.......i wont let her get to me
on a plus side ds party on saturday and got a few friends coming back tot he house for drinksa t nite so should be good.

Hi all. Ouch about the tooth Selwyn, I hate the dentist but it is a necessary evil lol! Well I'm due to test on Saturday (assuming af doesn't arrive) but I have no symptoms at all ... well I do have bigger boobs but I always get them at this time of the month, I feel tired but then I've been having late nights, no af cramps but then I don't generally get them either - lol. See what I mean ... no symptoms at all!! I love and hate this bit, love the fact that perhaps there is a lo growing inside me and hate the fact that there might not be, love the fact that until testing I can dream hate the fact that after another bfn I'll be gutted! Goodness this ttc malarkey is packed with contradictions lol! Anyway no1 son is 21 next Monday and coming home this weekend - we're going out for a meal to celebrate with the family and 10 of his friends so it should be fun and hopefully take my mind of it. Fingers crossed I'm strong enough and patient enough to wait as long as possible (assuming af doesn't arrive!) don't want to test before Monday - but we'll see! Gosh I've gone on!
love and hugs

Moring - just!
Hope you are feeling full of beans again soon Sleepy and ready to bounce on DP - tee hee, I gave mine a rant ths morning for not making enough effort on the jig front.. poor guy, it's prob my fault not his but you do need to have a grump sometimes! Although he told me I was fat in retaliation.. I'm not fat just cuddly in places.. the wrong ones!
Hope your tooth isn't too painful Sel but a fab way to pre-Chrimbo diet!! Know what you mean about pals, some ladies with lotsa small kids moan, but if they knew they were talking to someone who esperately wanted more they would not be so tactless hopefully! I'm sure you'll get your wee one soon Selwyn, you know you can do it.
Lunchtime - fish finger butties for us - yum!

Hi all!
have toothache and my crown came off in a toffee last night
so can't eat much - hope I loose a few pounds before the dentist gets me sorted!!!DD said this morning ' don't like santa' haha! she met him last year and she wouldn't stop screaming lol. I'm sure she'll realise he's worth the risk later on!!!
Dawn - I'm 42 hun and wondering what on earth my body is up to this month. BFP/af due sat and we gave it our best shot but I've got my teary af symptoms and the sorest left boob EVER!!!! Total hypocondriac that I am - assuming something's horribly wrong!!
Met up with my mummy friends for DDs birthday party on fri - there are 8 of us - all had our DDs in Nov 2006 - 5 now have another and another announced she's expecting in April. I wanted to sream that I had been expecting in Feb bit my baby had died - but no. Needless to say I've been feeling really crap. One of the mums of two wouldn't stop complaining and whilst I know how hard it is - I so wish it was me. Feeling really rubbish but its probably just pmt ( and sore tooth, no money, doom gloom, despair...........just to add into the pot)
hey ho. Gotta get something good happening soon eh?
Hope you're all well ladies! Sorry for the moan ( again!!)

Hi all - we've had dh's mum and dad visiting from France - so quite a busy time - am shattered as still getting over this last bug...a seriously bad one, has had me napping even after the worst of it passed. Just want to feel well again.
As I have no hope of bfp this month (it's just a question of biology
) am putting ALL my hope in you guys .Am still busy in the studio but have understandably had a few days off. Am supposed to be getting on with some paintings as well but worry about how little time I have. Humph.
Well, bed for me, take care everyone XXXXXX
16/11/08 13:20
Hi all, how ya all doing? I'm just off out to the park .. again.. but the sun is out so we must make the most of it.
I've also started Xmas shopping 3 pressies bought and all my cards, so hopefully less stress than last year.
Dawn I'm on CD 7 today and due about Dec 5th.. I'm sure there's no chance of a bfp but I'll carry on pretending till then end of the year.
What do you do on facebook Dawn, I'm not on it - do you just chat like on here?
Keep jigging girls
x
Me again. Just couldn't help wondering if there'd been any testing yet? Sandrad? Selwyn? Am keeping everything crossed for you both - I hope it isn't a bug Selwyn, please please let the old witch pass you both by this month.
BTW thanks for the well wishes too - I have had a really bad run of viruses and it's made my thyroid go off balance
- at least I finally twigged (once the fatigue and joint pain became extreme lol) and am now getting back to normal again (am supposed to up my drops when ill but haven't needed to for so long that I forgot to increase the dose - dopey mare 
), so just have to shift the lingering cough now.
Weather is horrific here - we were hoping to go the Christmas Fair and Market - maybe next week lol. But there is a reindeer with lanterns parade too - really wanted Dom to enjoy all that. Oh well.
TC all. Good luck
and 
to you all. XXXXX
