hi ladies sorry ive not been on for a while, we have ben busy were designing a new kitchen as i really dont like ours and i hate the way its designed so the new one will be totally different and im gonna get an island which ive always wanted so its really exciting at mo, but horrible when its all being done, but hey hopefully ill have a nice new kitchen by christmas
sheez so glad you had a fab holiday, im really hoping i get a trip to new york for my 40th next year, did you buy anything in NY?
sandrad its such a shame when families arnt close, i dont see much of my brother even though he only lives less then 10 miles away but i see my parents alot, DF sees his family all the time and we are all around at his mothers house for xmas dinner, i always enjoy xmas dinner so much more vwhen its cooked for me. my eldest DD is 20 in nov and i often think ill be a nan before im a mom again now thats scary!!
selwyn its still not over yet, when will you test again?
steenie sorry to hear your still having family probs
hi new ladies txt1975 and carebearhare welcolme to our thread
sleepy sorry she got you hun hope your ok x

Hi Tx... I've had af 21 days late this year.. not what you wanted to hear... but I had BFN for 10 days I think before BFP for my DS. If you read other threads it seems that loads of gals get af late sometimes but then also loads get v late BFP.. some have been months... so I'd just test every 3 or 4 days... you should maybe try first thing in the morning as I believe that is the best time. Lots of luck tx
.Hey San - you and your afs are a bit confusing, but it may be an age thing as I sometimes get a smudge one day and then nothing for 24 hours, just long enough for me to think 'maybe' before she arrives liek the demon she is.. grrrrrrrrrrr
I've just been doing numbers with DS, he's so enthusiastic, he can write his numbers up to 9 now and is proudly wearing a gold badge saying 'easy peasy' now ... so easy to please... when he's not being a little monster!!!!
x 26/10/08 15:00
Don't know Tx but fingers crossed! There are lots of people on here who get late bfp so you never know!
Sheez I do envy your family -I'm youngest of five (four now cause brother died at 21) and we are not close at all - I'd love to be but the others are very insular - I have a brother in Devon and a sister in Cornwall so you'd think I'd be sorted for holidays but no way - never been invited to my bros and haven't visited my sister for about 5 years! They come up to our parents once a year for their "courtesy" Christmas visit sometime in December (not over Christmas!) and that is it! My nephew hasn't seen his cousins for 5 years now and they were so close it makes me sad. I do hope my children stay close and also want to visit me - I'd hate for them to behave like my bros and sister does!
Sorry bit of a rant there
lol - must be hormones.Incidentally (TMI WARNING!) I know its just a matter of time but af hasn't arrived "properly" yet - all I have is a light brown (stringy) discharge when I wipe after loo and a clean pad! Very odd - must be my age - again.
Babydust and hugs to all - where are you we'd love to hear how you're all getting on!

HI Girls, My dd will be 4 in MArch too and also thought that No 2 wouldv'e been her by now. I am looking for a bot of advice. My AF is approx 8-10 days late (hard to know as cycle length keeps changing). Have had feeling of AF coming since last MOn and had smallest amount of spotting on Wed then nothing. Did a test at lunchtime (Superdrug one) and BFN. I am gutted. Is it possible the test is wrong? or is it more likely that I had a long cycle this month AF is just round the corner? Honest opinions would be appreciated. Thanks x

Afternoon all.
Steenie my DS isn't 4 till March and like you (and the others) I thought he'd have a sibling by now. Really hope you get BFP and your mad in-laws come grovelling round.
I've read through some old posts from when I was on hols and sound like it's been a bit traumatic for a few - Selwyn & Dawn - big hugs for you ladies, hope you have lots of support and are coping. Come on for a rant if necessary.
My only rant is flamin PC is on the blink, so slow, takes about 10 times longer to do everything!
I've tried to do the list but can't remember all the info, so sorry for any errors girls.
Lots of

oops!aw the sil and bil's gf been at it again.....my friend was out on friday nite and bil's gf tried to speak to her and she basically told her if i get any grief from either of them she will personally flatten the two of them hehe
they had done nothing but bad mouth me for the last 2 months i am so fed up with them wish they would just let me get on wi my life and grow up they were hammered again god as soon as my niece's dad picks her up she is out getting sloshed she drinks herself into a stupour and thinks she is hard hehe my friend put the s***ers up her she said she kept trying to smile at her in the pub until she said to her look i dont lilke you or what you do to tracey you need to apologise to her for what you keep doing they dont need your crap you are meant to be her sister in law and just make a fool of her when you are with that idiot ! oops my friend hates the fact that i get into trouble everytime they get into bother i get the blame.fil emailed me and asked if he could take thomas to see santa after his bday in november and said he wasnt going to be nasty again and that it was rather a heated argument we had thta day and it wasnt like me - he said you have your opinions and i have mine but i am missing my grandson - i said well you know where we are and i wouldnt stop you coming down to see him? and has he or my mil been near us nope so they can all go to hell the lot of them -= would be good if i could get my bfp this month as i would just not tell them anything wish for once someone would actually see firsthand what my sil is all about! as for the bil's gf she is going to get a hard slap she told people i am jealous of her cos she is slim and pretty and i am fat and ugly charming eh|! made my blood boil so much so i swear i will get her!!! grgrgr
apart from that i am good
and working tonite at 6 on the taxis and to be honest can see it far enuff got my renewal through and wondering if i am going to bother......miss my boy on a sunday nite its hard going just feel like crap and wish everyone would just leave me be and not b*** about me everyone is telling me what the pair of them are saying about me and my dh he isnt happy tho and one day his sister will be sorry,,,,,xgood luck for everyone this month and sorry for the rant xxx
25/10/08 18:43
Ok San- get jigging, we are CD10 today I think so I'd best grab DH and demand!!!!
Bad luck you got af but just go for it.. remember Cherie Blair did it at 45 - !!!!!!
Chrimbo is good for us with 2 grandparents, my 2 siblings and partners who have 3 & 2 kids and us 3.. but it's good cos most of us live hundreds of miles apart and so it's a special get together, I'd rather live closer.. but I do enjoy mental Christmases.. we stay for about 4 days and come home FAT!
Hope everyone is fine, bath time for DS now

Forgot to say - your Christmas sounds like my idea of heaven - ours are relatively quiet now - just us and the children but still fun.
x
25/10/08 17:45
Sheez I really like that idea - give it our all until the new year - its a deal! Now lets get to it
hi everyone else - where are you all???? Please come back its tooo quiet!

25/10/08 14:40
Goodness Sandra you're right only 2 months to Christmas today - ahhh no plans yet, except going to my parents for massive get together - 14 of us, including 6 kids is always chaos but makes it so Christmassy with all the kids aged 14 down to 3 running around like we used to.
I have bought no cards or pressies yet - ahh still 4 birthdays in November to get stuff for yet!
.As DS will be nearly 4 by Christmas we'll go for it big style this year - loads of decorations and stuff.. Ilove all that - until 12th night when it all has to come down
.Hey Sandra why don't we both stay on here till the end of the year and then maybe draw a line under it then - I really need to give up ... but can't. I think we need more jigging mid month, somehow we always seem to miss a few of the middle month days - which really doesn't help atall! But DH desn't have the stamina he used to -
don't tell him I said that!Howz everyone else and where are you all?
New girl Carebear was it - can't remember sorry - give us more details of yourself and ttc stuff, I'm Mrs Nosey!!
25/10/08 08:46
Welcome back Sheez - glad you had a lovely time and aren't the gay guys just a girls best friend
Sorry about af - fingers crossed for this month!Well af arrived this morning - much as I expected really - really think I may throw in the towel - (don't I say that every month
)Soo quiet on here I think we need some good news to cheer us all up - well it is nearly Christmas - how are everyones plans going
love and hugs

Hi all I'm back - hol was awesome - 2 days in NY and then sailed back across the atlantic in good ol' QE2 on her last such trip. It was very nostalgic loads of ship nerds but also loads of handsome gay men .. what a wate, but most were lovely and made me laugh so much.
Unfortunately af arrived during hol but I was v distracted so not too bad this month. I cried all the way to NY on the plane as I was leaving my wee DS and I also had a wobble on day 4 when I was missing him loads. We had a lovely reunion yesterday and have spent alday together today.
Sorry to hear nasty witch has arrived for some and on the way poss for others, I was hoping for good news from someone, was thinking about you all.... lets get some positive vibes going again like a few months ago!
& girls23/10/08 21:28
welcome carebearhare, its pretty quiet here at the moment - but you're more than welcome to join us. I'm 44 (only just lol) so you're not the oldest! Good luck for testing.

23/10/08 20:53
Hi, can I join you? I'm 42 years old, mum to a 2 and a half year old Ds, and DH and I have been trying to conceive for a while now (on and off)! Hoping for a BFP on the 28th, and having to sit on my hands so as not to test yet! xx Sending lots of
. (Hope you didn't mind me crashing)xx Jan23/10/08 20:21
Oh poooo ((((())))) all round - and am sending out lots of go-away-vibes to the old witch for you all.Sandrad - not quite the same I know, but today I was rocking a little 6mth old and felt very nostalgic too. I know what you mean Selwyn, the longer we try the more this elusive bundle of hope grows.
I'm afraid that I am back on CD1 as of today. We have decided to carry on until January on our own, but if no joy by then I'm going to see my GP for some prelim tests - I would like to know that I am ovulating for a start!
How are you Dawn? Wishing all of us, and Steenie good to hear from you too, CLOUDS AND CLOUDS OF
. XXXXX23/10/08 17:51
sickening eh sandrad? Can't believe you have a 21 year old though!
Totally broody - and the more I want it - the further away it seems.
Gonna persevere but I can totally understand why you'd want to take the pressure off. Wahhh - needing some good news on here ladies!!
Hugs all round!
23/10/08 15:58
Hugs Selwyn - it really is a bummer isn't it. I've spent the afternoon going through old photos (I'm doing a photo book for no1 son 21st birthday) remembering all those happy times (rose tinted glasses me thinks lol) when mine were all small has made me even more broody. Perhaps my longing is a midlife crisis
think I will definately stop ttc after January cause then it would be due after I'm 45 .Don't honestly think it will happen for me again!love and hugs one an all

Caved in and tested - BFN of course - bottle of wine here I come.......................
hating my luck at the mo.
Pinning my hopes on you sleepy! ( no pressure!)
CD3 for me ladies - at least my cycles are bang on again - hate it when there's doubt about that as well.
Welcome aboard carebarehare and welcome back sheez - glad you had a great time.
Steenie - that bonkers family of yours need a wide bearth hun - no wonder its getting you down. Just wash your hands of it and try to let it go over your head - just words after all - from drunken idiots by the sound of it.
Well I've been feeling really down. Not just my af arriving but everything is getting on top of me. A friend asked if I think I'm depressed. Urrrrr yes. But I wouldn't be if I could have a break from all these horrid things happening for a while! Certainly not off to the doc for tablets - I'd rather get through this myself. Somehow.
Too much doom and gloom out there - dads OK thankfully but I'm so worried about DPs business ( debts if it goes belly up) that I can't relax. Oh - the list of worries just now is endless and it all feels so out of control. All the things that have happened are like that - bolts out of the blue so I'm just scared there will be more - does that make sense?Everytime the phone rings I'm shaking in case its bad news again. Madness - gotta get a grip!!!
Anyhooo - onwards and upwards - another month another try at ttc. It'll be a year soon that its been on my mind - only really started properly in feb-ish but still..........totally understand why you want some advice sleepy - its so frustrating and upsetting to get nowhere for so long. And all the harder after a mc or mmc. Makes every month a real trial. Big hugs for us all - we so deserve a break don't we?
