    Canary-- as soon as I heard the term, I thought of you and nickster! It's really funny because some of the terms you guys use can almost make me imagine that I can hear your accent through your words! (Does that make sense?) For instance: going to the loo, um, ok, that's all I can think of at the moment--oh! and bloody or buggers! I love it! It is amazing, though, you're right--about the way the lingo varies between countries. It's all English, similar in some ways, yet very different in others! Have fun with the housework! I've got to do the same thing--boo!

    Good morning to all

    welcome Lea - hope your stay here is short and sweet, the ladies on this forum are the most helpful group, they have really been so supportive in a way most people can't.

    My extension is coming along just great - the frame went up yesterday, the windows are in, and they started putting the weatherboards on the back of the house. Today the kids and I are going visiting because they are working on the roof, they have to pull off part of the existing roof and put a new roof over that section and the new section. Too dangerous and too noisy I think to stay home today.

    Must go now, it's just light enough to start my outside jobs before work. I'm off to my parents house to hang my washing, I can't find my clothes line (it's surrounded by timber).

    Hope everyone has a great day to each and everyone of you.

    Good morning ladies!

    Thanks to Jen, Canary, and everyone for such a warm welcome, it's greatly appreciated

    Lea - welcome to you also, and as others have said to me, I hope your stay here is short and sweet.

    Mollycat - sounds like thigns are going great with your extension over there! Lucky duck, aside from the noise and inconvenience

    Sorry about not many personals, will improve over time

    I'm feeling just a little bit down this morning, for no reason other than the fact that I've stopped taking St John's Wort, which I usually take 2 or 3 times a day to moderate my moods. I've read that it's not considered safe for use during pregnancy though, and I'm determined to do everything 'right' this time. I'v even stopped drinking my beloved Twining English Breakfast tea, due to keeping caffiene down. Hot milo is a lovely substitute during the colder months though, and I have some dilmah decaf tucked away for if things get desperate

    Waiting to see if my boss is organising a girls' night out tomorrow, if so, they'll want to know why I'm not drinking and they'll be the first ones to find out DH and I are TTC! We'll see what happens..

    mollycat--Hope you have fun getting out with the kids! How many kids do you watch? My mom had a daycare in our home my whole life--literally from 1st grade-graduation. She finally quit when she moved away to Turkey when I was 18--actually that's not true, she even did d/c in Turkey! But I wasn't there, so that doesn't count! So because she had so many parents, I started babysitting at an early age--probably like 10 or 11. Most people brag when they've been working since they were 16, but they've got nothing on me! That's how I got my spending money--it was a great learning experience, but I would NEVER trust a kid here with my kids! It amazes me how many parents would go away for the whole weekend and leave their kids with me--a teenager! Anyhow, I don't know how you do it! If I learned anything through my experience, it's that I don't have the patience to be a daycare provider--my owns kids test my patience, I don't need someone else's kids pushing my buttons! The world needs more people like you taking care of their kids!


    Acria--Sounds like you are determined to do everything possible to have a healthy, happy pregnancy! It just shows how dedicated you are to being a great mom! Have fun on your night out tomorrow!

    Feeling down & depressed...

    Hi all... sorry im selfish today but gotta unload ... AF is just around the corner... im sure of it cos i dont think there's any chance of me being pg... i have no funny belly feelings any more & just read on the conception forums that during ovulation your cervix is high & soft & if conception has occured, then the cervix remains like high & soft... but mine is low & hard...

    i had sore bbs & cramps that could have meant ovulation last monday & tuesday but dh didnt want to dtd because he was tired... more like couldnt be bothered! we dtd on wednesday but it was too late...

    now im emotional & sad & a bit angry at dh... i want a baby badly! im so impatient...

    Vanaithi-- It could just be too early to be feeling or seeing any signs yet, especially if you only O last week. If you did O last week, it would still be another week or so before you would feel anything (if you felt anything at all, since many women don't feel any signs in the beginning). Cheer up hun, you can't rush perfection! Rome wasn't built in a day.... You know all the old cliche's. I know it's really hard waiting it out, we all get frustrated and antsy--but have faith that your time will come! BTW, feel free to vent anytime--we've all been there!


    AJC--Looks like you're getting your long-awaited longer LP! About that funny taste in your mouth, you didn't forget to brush your teeth or something, did you? j/k... You're signs sound pretty interesting so far... I'm keeping my eye on you, and praying this is going to be your month!

    jen - so that's what it is - he he he. Better clean em before we bd again or DH might run a mile

    Vanaithi - af must be on her way to me too because mine is low & hard. However, I felt my cp when I was pg last time and it was low & hard then too. I think it can vary according to the time of day. I'm sorry you are feeling so down today.

    Hi ladies,

    Just popping in to let you know that we are back from Singapore and we had a lovely time The weather was wonderful and warm and it has been horrible to come back to the cold

    Unfortunately though, it was a BFN for me this last cycle with a short LP again. So we are cycle tracking again this month (its day 10 today) and will hopefully be adding some LP support - Pregnyl or progesterone pessaries. So at least this last cycle has been good because it has identified a problem that can be treated.

    Sorry for the lack of personals, but there is way to many to catch up with now, will try again soon. Hope everyone is well
