August - first month of TTC? Join me!

Hope you all had a good Xmas Day and Boxing Day. No change here really, still waiting! A bit crampy today, could be embedding or could just be too much food!!!

*eaten

Hi All, Hope you all had a fantabulous Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Hoping the little bean is OK in there as it had been fed so much shite, well, spring rolls, butter twists and chocolate is the shite. But also hope it's enjoyed the duck, gammon and cheeseboard too!! The brie is still wrapped up for hubby, staring me in the face in the fridge, willing me to open it, but I shall resist!
Managed to cook for the last 2 days without gagging, and feel as though I have just eated for the hell of it! Had a 'normal' bowl of muesli this morning, need to get some sort of fibre in there!!

evening all, i am just so proud to report i cooked christmas dinner and so far no one is ill in ten years of marriage its only the second time i have had to do it and was very suprised at myself for doing it all so well.

i couldnt eat as much as i would have liked, or usually would, so just ate a little of everything. just had a selection of cold meat and other buffet type items.

(think i have had too many pickled goods )

Merry Christmas!! hope you all have a fab Christmas and wonderful new year. Hope you pregnant ladies enjoy your growing bellies and those ladies still ttc fingers crossed for a bfp!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone, just in case i dont get time to come on tomorrow.

just watching corrie before i have to do the turkey, veg and wrap the last few stocking fillers for dd.

not sure what i am loking forward to most, tomorrow, meadowhall on boxing day or the next sale on monday early mornings mean early nights though!

Only natural Iwish.

Fingers well and truly crossed for you both, hope it's great news coming into 2011!!

Merry Christmas everyone, hope it's a great one! Best one ever for us, but will be even better next year

Thanks gruffalo hope it's my lucky month too. Think Ill test new years eve, unless I can make myself wait lol. Glad to hear you feel ok today and have been able to eat :)

Think may af is due 3rd jan so we are around the same time. FX for you.

Saw my ttc buddy today, she is now 14 weeks pg - sooo jealous!! And feel so awful for feeling jealous.

Merry Christmas everyone

AF Due on 4.1.11 so just waiting now

Sorry - iwish not wisk (doh!)

Aw - you might suddenly find you ease off on the munchies. I'd not worry about it until then... I was so pukey yesterday could hardly move all evening. But much better today so have been able to eat.

More importantly I've been able to make mincepies and decorate the christmas tree. Was off work today with my DS so glad that I didn't feel too sick!

Hi Iwisk - hope you're lucky this month.

I know what you mean Liz tis the season to indulge, and I just don't fancy it either!
I know there is a tin of Quality Street under our tree, which would usually only last 3 days in our house (with DH probably only having 6 max lol) but I think the tin will still be full for weeks!

i am sure what you are eating is fine klou i dont think at this stage you need to eat any more than usual,dont force feed yourself! its odd how before i was pg i would love to eat what i want, now i actually have a choice of nearly anything, i dont want it

i did my food shop in tesco today and all the lovely foos would usually be screaming out to me and finding its way into my trolly,but i hardly bought any choclatey things apart from what dh would like.

So, are we all set for the festivities????

Feeling OK here, just still got an odd appetite, either starving (rarely) or a banana does me all day! So want to eat, for baby mainly, but don't want to be sick, am I being selfish? Not sure what to do. Tried force feeding myself at one point, but felt ill all night.

Hi Liz. Thanks Hun :). How are you?

fingers crossed for both of you

When can you test? :)

yes ov'd and waiting

Hi all! Long time no see!!

How are you Liz klou gruffalo and madkatz?

3dpo here so nothing too exciting to report. Have you OV'd yet madkatz?

Welcome star. Hope you are ok.

well it's nice you're still here Liz know what you mean about the ante-natal threads, too many people.

With you on the orange juice. I have my 250ml for breaky then have to stop myself drinking the whole 1 litre!

I'm 7 weeks today :), only the size of a kidney bean here! Not sure on the uterus though.

sorry i am ten weeks on wednesday!!

i am 9 weeks on wednesday and have read in one of the baby mags that the uterus is now the size of a grapefruit, so its got to be pushing everything else upwards hasnt it? i think i ihave actually lost weight this week. according to the scales at work i have lost 1kg which is 2 pounds! seeing as i have lived on toast and marmite and eaten no chocolate or biscuits (apart from linzer bisciuts 3 times a week from costa, but thats more habit than cause i want it! and seeing as i have them in the mornings, they go down quite well)

besides the savoury preferences i am also craving orange juice (would it be a craving already? it just really really fancy it rather than my usual cup of tea. think craving is abit strong?)

do you know i much prefer this thread and talking to you girls rather than the other due in july thread, so say there is about 50 people on it, no one replies for days on end

lol Gruffalo 8 months of that, I dread to think!! I like your excuse, do you mind if I steal it too??

Like you Gap tip too :)

Klou if it's a pound already I don't fancy being you in 8 months' time

Remember that although the bean might be teeny tiny your uterus has probably nearly doubled in size and you'll be increasing the amount of blood in your circulatory system. Or that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Your metabolism changes now too so that you get more out of the food you're eating (IIRC) which can also explain preg-related constipation. Nice. Is it any wonder I'm not feeling frisky? I'm bloated, full of S*@# and still often wanting to puke.

Madkatz Hope the SWI does its thing. Sorry to hear you've got colds - makes it miserable, doesn't it?

Liz glad you got your blankets. BTW Gap's sale has started and I got some jumpers for work.

lol Liz I remember you mentioning the blankets ages ago!! Well done you! I funnily enough weighed myself this morning. I have put on 1lb since last Monday although I haven't been really eating. Confused, or it's a big baby!!

Finger crossed Madkatz
