~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*TUESDAY TTC~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Morning ladies

Not often I get to start the thread

CD8 for me, reading = low. Love my CBFM, feel so much more chilled out instead of fretting all the time.

Anyway, my important news is that my DH's cousin gave birth to a baby boy this morning - Jude William - at 12.55am . All babies are special, but this little man is extra special because his sister was born on 15 March last year suffering from Edwards' Syndrome and very sadly died two weeks later. The whole family was heartbroken because it was not picked up by the scan so it was all a complete shock - all expecting a healthy baby girl. What made it worse was that other cousin did give birth to a healthy girl 3 days later - it was very hard for whole family.

I am so grateful that just less than a year later she's sitting with a healthy baby boy in her arms. He will never replace Madeline but I hope he will help ease the pain they've been going through Excitement in DH's HUGE family today - news spreading like wild fire

Have a good day all. I, for one, am very happy

and all round xxx

Morning Ladies, hope you are all well.

Bex - I am so pleased for your H's cousin. It will definitley not replace their daughter but

now they have a gorgeous son to look after. What a lovely positive story. The fertility monitor

sounds good but I would panic that it would only ever tell me low.

Janet - Hope you have a lovely dinner and enjoy your daughters birthday tomorrow.

Ouzey - Thanks for asking after me. Sorry to hear about your grandad. They are thinking of

releasing my nan back to her care home tomorrow but she is worse than she went in. She now

has dementia and can only eat pureed food as she never recovered her swallow reflex.

Hope everyone else is well.

AFM - Well I weighed in today and managed to lose 7lb in a week so I am chuffed.

I got a new charm for my bracelet (one every 7lbs) it was cherries today. I do have 2 others

but they are from last time I lost weight and I have put the weight from those ones back on

booo. We havent DTD for a while so need to get back to that.

Hello all.

SB - welcome to little Jude, as already mentioned not a replacement but nice that there is some positive news for you all.

Janet - hope you enjoy H's birthday too.

Ouzey - hope the shoulder is nothing serious. Sounds a bit tricky with your Grandad and what went on with your Mum, must have been hard all round.

As for me......... have a cracking headache and painkillers are not really touching it so gonna excuse myself shortly and go to bed.

Hello to everyone else and to all.

Morning ladies!

Bex, that's great news for your cousin. What nice news to start hte morning off to.

Nothing much going on here. AF came on Thursday night (just after I gave in and tested - of al lhte ironies!) So we're starting fresh again. I didn't expect it first month, so am not really disappointed. We're going to try for another month and then pause for 1-2 as I really don't want a Christmas baby. So I have a feeling we may jinx ourselves with that...

well done belly bee.  my granda seems the same as your nan he now cant talk and wont eat he went in walking with a frame.  such a shame eh.  what braclet do you have  i have a pandora one but only got four charms i love it though.  right off to school now see ya all later!!!  mossy good luck for today got everything crossed for you!

Good morning lovely ladies

Sexybexy- What lovely news but also tinged with sadness.I’m sure her little angel is watching over them.

Glad you like your cbfm. Its good if you can be relaxed about it.

Janet- have a good day. X

Ouzey- Sorry to hear you granda has gone back into hospital. Its awful when you have issues with a family member especially surrounding the death of another and you don’t feel like you can confront him.

I have had some serious issues with my mum since my dad died even though they had been divorced 20 years there were things I found out after that I hate her for and can’t tell her how I feel. Sending huge hugs your way. And hope your shoulder gets better soon.Hows things with junior, bean, tiddler- not sure what you call him/her, hope you are keeping well anyway and hang around here for a bit yet.

I too am superstitious.

I’m off shopping now after dropping L at nursery and also hope to get my eyebrows threaded as absolutely love the result only thing is its done in the shopping centre. The lady accosted me last time to have it done and as I’d always wondered what it was like I gave in. When she did my eyebrows she then pointed to my tache and asked if I wanted it done. To which I was like no no its ok doesn’t need doing. She promptly in her Indian accent told me it did need doing so there I was in front of a load of shoppers having my tache done    

Baby dust to you all

Hello Bellybee too, our posts must have crossed. Big congrats on the weightloss, well done ........ nice incentive you have going there too. Sorry to hear about your nan <hug icon which seems to have disappeared>

ETA - cut off half my post so re-typed

Bloody hell it got busy quick so I missed a load of you.

Bellybee- Huge congrats on your weight loss, that’s fantastic. Xx

Diamonds- I definitely pack yourself off to bed soon. Hope you feel better. Xx

Expatgirl- Af works in funny ways doesn’t she? I’m so sorry that she came anyway it’s a horrible sinking feeling. x

Wow did get busy there.

Expatgirl - thats sods law! Fingers crossed for this month.

Mrs Claus - I get my eyebrows waxed and love them when they are first done too. Whats threading?

Rigt really off to bed now - night all and see you tomorrow.

Threading is where they use threads of cotton.Don't know how they do it but its very clever and vary accurate and if I'm not mistaken I think its an Indian technique

 You’re all keen and early this morning – brilliant!

Well, how are we all then?

Bex – what lovely news for your family this morning (great name by the way!) When do you get to meet him for a cuddle?

Janet – still can’t believe H is 4 then? Time flies doesn’t it? Hope she gets some good pressies and enjoys the tea.

Ouzey – how are you? Have you told H yet? Thanks for asking after me – your comment about testing early and squinting made me laugh. I’ve still got a dull ache in my right side but … hold on for TMI… I’m now thinking it might be constipation.  I was sane once, honest..

Bellybee – excellent news on the weight loss – well done you and I like the incentive plan!

Diamonds – hello! Hope the headache fells better soon

Expat Girl – onwards and upwards, roll on the next cycle!

Mrs Claus – love the tasch threading in public!

Nothing much to report here – pretty average looking Tuesday on the horizon which is good and excitement is all too much for me at the moment!

Dust, dust and a bit more dust all round

Mossy – if you are lurking all the best for today – I’ll be thinking of you

flounder he he i am bad re tests.  i did mine on the week before i was due how bad is that for early testing i had dull aches but nothing else felt contipated and hugely bloated.  i am off to drs tomorrow with wee sample will die if they test and its bfn although i have done others!!!  hello ex pat girl havent spoken to you before how are things!!

Yay a busy thread!

Hello all!

Flounder - Ha ha ttc does send us all a bit loopy! You are not alone!

Mrs C - Loving that tache comments! Not sure I'd have been so polite back to her! Enjoy shopping today!

Diamonds - Hello lovely! Hope your headache goes soon and you wake up feeling better.

Ouzey - hello hun, how are you and bean?

Expatgirl - You know if you conceieve this month it'll probably be a xmas baby?

Bellybee - Well done sweetheart thats brilliant!  I've lost 3lbs in 3 weeks! Lol! AT least I'm consistent!

Janet - Enjoy the birthday preparations!

SB - How's the horse today? Glad you like the cbfm, fingers crossed its lucky for you.

AFM - Been doing opk's for 2 days, both days really faint line so negative. I like the control though! H doesn't know! He he! We dtd last night for fun, to make sure we're not out of practise! , can't wait to get a positive so it feels like we are doing it at the right times! I feel slightly more relaxed doing it like this, but i know i will hate not getting a positive so might try temping next month!

Today is my last day having daisy which is great! losing the money isnt   but i can cope with that!

I have loads of Ebay items to post, have made about £300 so far so iI'm chuffed and still have loads to list. it's going to be a long process but the money makes it worthwhile!

Dust to you all xxx
