BFP in 2012 Part 2 - step away from the COD and into this thread.

My H2B will be the one who stays home. Can't afford to do it the other way round :-( At least one of us will be there, which is the main thing.

I'm feeling slightly better now I've eaten. Will see if our canteen has anything ginger based too, to take to my desk.

Yeh I would be a SAHM. We're actually looking at adopting as well so that could potentially go through in a year or so.

My DH is happy for me to be a SAHM and then work as I want - for fun.

I would be happy at home with the kiddies and in a job that gives a bit of freedom. Consulting would be ideal really

woody thanks for reminding me abt superdrug! I just checked the superdrug website and they have free delivery on all orders - just bought me some pregnancy tests too :) Roll on end of Aug.

I have a busy weekend - so hoping time will go quicker and I won't obsess in the 2ww.

SAHM sounds like a dreamy career....I wish we could afford it. I think i'd be pretty good at that job.

DH and I have agreed I will take a years maternity and then part time for a couple of years. Want to work close to home and do something less taxing on the brain.

I dreamt about a complete career change last night - doing some admin work in a library! I love books so I guess that would be nice :)

I definitely have an issue with being in control. I don't think it's a bad thing though. It means I got my diabetes under control in record time :)

No, no blood pressure check. No time to do anything about that til the weekend though. My posh CB tests have dispatched though, so maybe an answer will come soon. Or AF!

I think my doctor would take blood, Newbie, so that is OK.

And the legal control freak thing is VERY likely! :-)

Ps Nicola I meant to say that ginger tea helps with nausea and eating something light (ginger biscuits are magic)

Am wondering if there's a link between being legal control freak in life (am also legal bod so iI'm allowed to be rude about us) and struggling with the lack of control in TTC?!! How cool to find out that we are all quite similar in RL

And i completely agree that SAHM is a career high not the poor relation (and that it's probably more joyful and way harder work than being in the office).

Well done kick!!

And well done red on the lifestyle change ideas for 2ww - I might take some of that on board.

winkle I hope you get reassuring test results.

Just make sure you book the blood test after seeing the doctor, otherwise the nurse won't know what to test for (assuming your doctor won't take the blood) :)

Random question but have you had your BP checked? It could be related to a pregnancy but it could help explain the dizziness? If you're pregnant, you could have a drop in blood pressure?

Not sure though but worth a pop out to Boots at lunchtime? They do them there?

Yeah, that may be a good plan, Newbie.

My doctor is lovely so I'm sure she will do whatever is best.

At least I should generally know what is happening by then.

I want either AF or BFP. Almost not fussy which now!

Meanwhile my dizziness continues!

Argh nausea is hell. Sorry guys. Hope you get BFP soon!! :)

Good luck for the interview kick glad you've made a decision about it all.

I saw that article kick - DH was very excited about it.

DH asked if I could be pg last night due to this nausea - it takes a lot for me to not want to eat! And I felt so horrible, I couldn't even bear to cook something for him. There is nothing that I've eaten that he hasn't and he is fine. It's probably just my stupid body/hormones playing tricks on me and giving me some hope that of course I will cling to until af arrives

I've ordered some super drug tests today (as people on here keep saying how sensitive they are) and I'll probably do a test on Saturday, although I think this is probably too early. But I have a night out planned and wouldn't drink if I know I'm pg. It's hard to know where I am with this wtf cycle!

Morning! Still Bfn and no AF show from me. I have zero symptoms so not expecting BfP anymore. Really looking forward to my blood test on Friday now to get things moving.

Nicola you've had two normalish Af's since coming off the pill so it's totally normal to think that you may be preggers. It is more common then people think to get a BFP 1 week after AF is due, ladies just don't speak of it very often. If you had zero symptoms like me then I would say it is highly unlikely but in your case I think you should book yourself in for a blood test for the same day you already have an appt booked otherwise you'll have to go back again! What do you think to that idea? If you're not pregnant then, they will be able to check your hormones out which will benefit you in the long run as you can just ring up for your results.

HA HA red

My boobs are so sore. I can't tell you how sore they are. I can't even lie so that gravity pulls them down. It's like I've pulled all the muscles.

shakes fist at the sky

Ok am going to the other interview but it's only a backup and to get the recruiter off my back. He talks a LOT.

Right now though, if you put (big brand) and (little brand) on a table in front of me, I would take the big one.

I have about 3 very well-known brands on my CV (again - brands that you would know and use) and I find people are very keen to hire me based on those brands. The unknown brands - they don't really care about. They don't mention them too much. I really like the intake of breath when I mention my last one as well - it's that well known.

For that reason alone, I would take the offer I have now.

I had itchy boobs and nipples yesterday - took clothes off to find bra lace thread coming off - which explained the itching.

CRASH back down to earth too

Yeh second for flat coke. Or ginger biscuits.

Or semen if you believe that Yahoo article the other day!

I was lying in bed on Saturday morning and I started to feel a nauseas and I was getting excited and was just about to tell my husband when he said; "I feel sick. I think it was the food last night"

CRASH back down to earth

Thanks for the tips

Because I'm on the wtf cycle, I'm not totally sure where I am but I am pretty sure that I ov last week or even the weekend before. I think it's too early to be getting nausea but that isn't stopping me hoping

I find that sipping flat coke (regular not diet) helps when I'm feeling pukey. Also open a window and let some fresh air in, stuffiness makes it worse.

Hope you feel better soon and it's not just a bug :o

How far along your cycle are you? Hoping its not a bug and something else instead ;)

Thanks red

No not late... Nausea started really badly yesterday afternoon. Was retching last night and just feel so bleugh... Can't even face going into the kitchen as even the thought of food makes me feel even worse.

Think I've probably just picked up a bug or something...

drinking water, eating some more keeps it down a bit.
I find a walk and the fresh air also helps.

wash your face with some cold water woody although no guarantees that the make up wont wash up if you wear any :)

Are you late?
