Good things come to those who wait...and wait...and wait!!! All aboard, we're IIT!

I think I'm due next monday or Tuesday, so still got 6 days, but I am working for 5 of those.

WhyWait, well I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and that it is implantation bleeding. Hugs if it's not.

Thanks everyone for the nice wishes. I don't know if it's hormones or just lack of exercise or a whole host of other things.

WhyWait, if it's spotting possibly it's implantation bleed as opposed to period? I don't know though, but glad you got things out in the open with your DH.

With regards to my 2WW the symptoms appeared to be less so yesterday, and this morning, but I'm off my food a bit today and still got weird mild cramping, the down in the dumps could be related or it could be totally unrelated. Who knows. If your LP has to be over 10 days, does that mean I can test when I think I am 10 DPO???

Great news about the scan jbells. :)

evening all

100 years, sorry you are down in the dumps. hope you cheer up soon and that your 2ww doenst drive you too mad

JS, agree that as long as LP is 10 days or more than its fine

bebe sorry to here about DH... grrr

jbells glad you had a healthy scan how exciting (one of my best friends with baby due end of may had her scan today too!)

I had a better ish day... given that Tuesday is the day of the week that i always hate / dread...
It wasnt too bad really (if you forget that fact i spilt my tea and cereal at breakfast, had printed out loads of important paperwork (so it was all 'done') this morning and the printer broke and printed a layer of black over the top of everything , and i was on "waiters" duty (where you wait for 45 mins with children who have siblings in prep / seniors)

On a plus not my temp shot up today, so im pleased about that. I'd quite like a 29 day cycle this month as i really dont want an Aug baby, and will be aiming for a due date of sep 12th, but adding on an extra day would make sep 13th, giving me an extra day, so baby would have to be 13 days early ro be an aug baby, as opposed to just 12!

Really not liking the fact that we have snow forecast tonight / tomorrow and really really dont want it at all. will make getting to and from school (or evn just out my front door) very difficult

Have a boring evening tonight, waiitng for tesco to deliver my shopping and OH is out running.

On a plus note tomorrow is wednesday and i usually like wednesdays!

Mee too bebe - very cross. Probably good though as it was a long ranty post about the ILs!!!

hello everyone, just a quick one will catch up better later once DD has gone to bed

scan went well was a lot clearer than last time everything looks fine, im measuring at 14 wks 1 day which makes my due date the 23rd of may, the pic wasnt great agen tho as baby was being uncooperative and facing my tummy so u can see a nice skull and jaw that looks like a skeleton from halloween lol

next scan is booked in for the 6th of jan, dont know y but afta seeing this scan now hav a feeling its a boy altho cud b completely wrong

Oh Bebe - that really sucks. If he isn't talking to you then maybe the idea that AC came up with (the counselling) might be a good option. The last thing you want is this difference of opinions to come between you and have a negative impact on your relationship long term.

Good luck with the scan jbells!!

100 - sorry to hear you are having a tough time at the moment. I hope that you manage to sort out everything in your head and that your 2WW doesn't drive you mad!!

AF has arrived today (3 days early) and I've got really bad cramps :(

My cycle is all over the bloody (no pun intended !!) place at the moment and having just put it all on paper it looks like I have a pretty short Luteal phase..... Not an expert on such things but is that bad?

My cyclescycles have been:

1. Length 30
2. Length 29
3. Length 35
4. Length 30, LP 11
5. Length 27, LP 12
6. Length 31, LP 14
7. Length 27, LP 10

jbells, good luck with the scan, hope it goes well. :)

WYorks :) Yay, will keep fingers crossed for you for the weather allowing everyone to get to the wedding on time.

I'm still going crazy in my 2WW, plus there is a lot of other things in my head at the moment, so a lot to think about, which I'm not really enjoying. The only think I am certain about is wanting to be a family with my gorgeous OH, other than that I am so very confused, and wish I knew of other things I could possibly do work wise, buying a house, etc etc My inner thoughts are not too pretty right now. But hey, maybe it's a hormental thing I am going through. Sorry if I appear to be on a downer, I have this amazing thing going on with someone I'm going to spend the rest of my life with and I'm in a bit of a rut. Meh

Don't worry about weight, I haven't been doing anything strict or following a proper plan, but I have lost 2 stone since June, so I am pleased with that :)

Argh, snow! I normally quite like it even though it means getting the train to work instead of driving. I also think it might be nice on the wedding pics. However, i hope it doen't stop our wedding guests getting here on Saturday :(
We live quite high up on a hill, although not as high as the village where i used to live, it was always 3 degrees colder up there than the rest of the district!

Well, anyway, AF arrived last night, 1 day late! I'm pleased as it means it will be over before the wedding and this is the cycle where we start SWI

morning all, hope everyone has a lovely wkend, got my scan today but its not till half one so the day is prob going to go very slowly :(

bebe- i love rice crispy cakes when i make them they will all get eaten in a day, i wud prob have 3 and dp wud eat ten lol, thanks for the link i stupidly afta reading your post applied for the coupon on my netbook that has no printer attached grrrr

nannyl- u really r being to hard on yourself 1lb is nothing i weighed myself the othat day and had put on a 1lb in a day then weighed myself half an hr later and was back to normal oh and as for cycles i have never had reliable cycle and got pg on the pill and had sex twice in 3 wks lol sometimes over analysing it can make it more difficult, hope your feeling better today

100years- glad u had a nice nite awaycud really do with one of those myself

i have also been having lots of strange dreams, i remember bits and pieces but can neva remember too much about them once im awake

evening all.

had bit of a random day... didnt start off too good when i got on the scales and have put on 1lb last week completely unfair as i avoided all the cakes and doughnuts in the staffroom completley and even though our class was cooking all week i avoided eating (almost) all the sweets / chocs / biscuits etc,...
(I did have 2 (very small) fairy cake, but i decided they were my pudding, and having been so good and so healthy i dont think i deserved to put on 1lb) Rant over!!!!!

Also my temp didnt rise today, and it always rises on a Monday. I guess as i ALWAYS have a +ve OPK on a sat pm and often on a friday too, but this month didnt get it til sat eveing thats why, but even so, i thought id got back to a clockwork 28 day cycle, but maybe i havent...
which is very annoying as i am TTC from next month, and had it all planned out

Have decided to put it down to the fact that on night 12-13 i forgot to raise my blackout blind and one of my fertility books stresses the importance of sleeping in pitch blackness all the time, except for those middle nights, and i forgot, so perhaps my body is 1 day out because of that?
who knows

No wierd dreams for me though

On a plus side i have now officially ordered (almost) all my Xmas presents. The joys of amazon! Hope to get them soon

We have snow forecast for the end of the week i HATE snow, especially as we live high up, right on the edge of the peak district, so when other areas dont get snow we do, and when people get it "bad" we get it "much worse"

Nothing else to report but good luck to everyone on who is on their 2ww. thinking of you

I dreamt that I gave birth to a baby girl completely painless and no mess, but the newborn baby projectile vomited everywhere immediately, all over all our stuff.

I am the queen of intrigue strawberry!!! It's a whole work/future thing I'm not enjoying the shifts that I'm on and I was pondering other things, but if that were to happen TTC may not happen at the moment, which is what is the biggest priority for us both. Like yourself I have done no Christmas shopping whatsoever!

I dreamt about a war, some weird kind of invasion of this castle which was surrounded by a lot of water, bigger than a moat, very bizarre.

German market tonight with a friend :) She knows we are TTC so I won't have to worry about not drinking or that, but I may have a try of something, but only a little bit. I may buy a few presents tonight, hopefully I will see something I think my family will like.

WYorks I have had weird dreams like that too!!! LOL

Christmas? What's that then? I haven't thought about it at all! But then to be fair i do have other things on my mind...5 days to go

Talking of dreams: On Saturday night i dreamt i did a PG test and thought i was 4 weeks pg. I went to the docs who told me i was 4.5 months pregnant, with Twins! My response was, " i though i was getting a bit fat"! I was quite relieved when i woke up :)

Thanks for link bebe, i'll have a look on my home computer later.

Good luck with the job AC! Glad to hear the interview went well! :)

This will sound really strange but I had a dreamed about you last night bebe! you and your OH met my OH and I for a meal at Alton towers! Why? I have no idea!

What have you been discussing that may change where you are 100years? It sounds very mysterious and I am intrigued! The 2 week wait sounds horrendous, you seem to have plenty of symptoms to think about though! Hehe!

Glad to hear you had a good time swimming jbells, also 4 lb in 12 weeks does not sound like so much!

I am fed up after working this weekend :( but have a day off on Wednesday so will look forward to that....need to do some xmas shopping (sorry to mention it but I have done none. Ooops)

Hiya,

Am back after my night away, shattered, slept badly last night, but had a good night before bed, met one of my OHs friends, then cheered him on at his race then had drinks with some friends in Starbucks. Called in at another friend on the way home.

Still feeling sick. Boobage is worserer. Niggly pains still there. And tired, but that's due to night shifts and a poor nights sleep. Still it's another bloody symptom to add to the list!!! LOL I fear the next week - if I last that long will be a long one! I reckon I'm due AF anytime after next sunday.... which are the 5 days early tests?!?!?! kidding

Nanny, oops to what she said to the prospective parents!

Bebe, maybe your body just needs a little time to let the meds out of the system.
