About to start / Just started TTC no.2 (part 3)

Sitting in soft play with a cappuccino while dd runs riot and catching up with nm. Engels I hope you have some lovely me time and come back to us soon with a bfp!
I hope everyone had a good Christmas dd have a ball and had even kept up her part if the bargin and been dummy free since Christmas eve! she not very happy with santa for taking all her dummies but shes doing great.
Does anyone have plans for new years eve? weve been invited to a party but dh has thankfully declined as 10:30 is my bed time these days!

Good luck engels and welcome Little & HR - everything crossed for BFPs soon!

I actually tested this morning though and got a BFN.
So Im either not pregnant or just tested too early - hope it's the latter!!!

Im trying to work out if I feel pregnant or not - can't remember how I felt last time?! I have been waking up feeling sick the last few days though... Could be too many goodies over Christmas though!!

Good luck Engels!! Look forward to your return with a bfp

Signing in. TTC #2. All happened very quickly first time around, we started trying as soon as we moved into our new fixer upper house and was pregnant 4 weeks later. DD is now approaching 18 months, house is actually mostly renovated and I'm now very broody.

Congrats on all those who go their BFP this month and commiserations to those who didn't. Fingers crossed for next time.

Hi Everyone!

Hope you don't mind me jumping in on the thread! My partner and I are now trying for a baby ... That seems strange to say! I stopped contraception at the beginning of this month and was hoping anyone could give me any advise as haven't had many close friends who have had children and all the info online seems quite overwhelming! Thanks!

Ooops hit post too soon...

I think I spoke too soon about not having PMT feelings. Today I have been The Original Grumpy Cowbag. And I've had some sort of a posting splurge and posted all sorts of rubbish on all sorts of threads. Sigh. Oh well.

Hope everyone is OK after the wind and rain.

Oh Engels I don't blame you. It's a difficult time of year for all sorts of reasons without the extra stuff and worry that TTC brings. Have a decent bit of "you time" and be nice to yourself.

Totally understandable Engels. Go easy on yourself. Good luck

Ah, good luck Engels.

I really hope you get your BFP really soon. Xx

Well, AF arrived this morning so at least my cycle is back on form (28 days exactly).

I think I'm going to step away from ttc and the conception boards for a month. Hoping for the proper all clear from hospital next week. Think I need to give myself a chance to get my head straight post-mc, which I haven't. Have just been focused on diving in and starting again. Have also misery eaten my way through mountains of food the last 2-3 months and as a result feel shit about myself. I haven't weighed this much since 2 months post childbirth! I want to focus this month on me, and just forget about opks, pg tests, ov etc.

So I will say goodbye for a little while, but I'll be back I promise!

Windy, that sounds hideous. I think cat sick would tip me right over the edge!!

And yes, ATruth, bloody windy. Though that's not a surprise as we are close to you!

Ds is the same Winston - a 'viral rash' (which I'd never heard of) at every opportunity. These spots were different though. About three of them blistered and scabbed. The rest just faded. We're none the wiser. It could have been mild Chicken pox or something totally different. We've changed our plans over next few days to avoid spreading it to vulnerable relatives, but heading down to see mil and sil this weekend as sil woukd love her dds to get it if it is the pox.

monster - did you manage to dtd? Don't panic too much if you're late at it. I'm pretty sure we conceived about two days after I thought I'd ov-ed.

Is it windy where everyone else is?

I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas!

Sorry about the bfn Engels, I'm really hoping you get your BFP very soon.

ATruth have the spots gone now? That's very odd. When DD gets viruses she always breaks out with viral spots, which I'd never heard of before she came along. So maybe he has had a general viral-type illness. Who the heck knows though with these little ones! I'm so pleased your scan went well.

As for me, all is well here, baby is wriggling lots, though I have spent the morning being sick and clearing up cat sick :-(

How frustrating, Monster. Have you managed to DTD in the lead up? Bloody house guests!

A belated merry Christmas to all!

Sorry to read about the bfn Engels.

I think I've ovulated today. Typical as dh on night shift and we've got family staying. Makes sneaking off to dtd tricky. Let's hope tomorrow and yesterday are close enough.

On my phone, so a bit rubbish at remembering everyone's posts. Sorry.

I'm with you on the nausea Hungry. Luckily I haven't been sick yet but I've been literally crawling around the house today. Feel dreadful. Actually about to go back to bed for the third time today.

Ds's spots have virtually gone and mine must be insect bites. I spoke to ooh this morning and they were lovely but really didn't want an otherwise well (apart from the spots) boy clogging up their surgery and potentially infecting already sick people with chicken pox. We're just going to sit it out.

Lucy - I hope it's just a shy bfp x

Happy Christmas belatedly!
Welcome to new peeps. Goodluck!
Lucy - very frustrating! If it were me I would decide to not test til weekend and then do another one. That's just me!
Hungry well done on scan.
Thanks Donna.jt was so lovely telling my family. Sis almost fell off chair! She is very excited. Feels bit anti climax now chritsmas done. Think I've been looking forward to itso much it's weird now it's done! Ds had a nice day but we have been sharing a room with him and heis teething. Not fun! Glad to be home x

Sounds like a lovely trip, Swede. :-)

I'm feeling well and truly pregnant now as 'morning' sickness has well and truly arrived. I either feel sick constantly (it woke me last night) or I'm retching / being sick. Urgh.

I'm hungry when I eat, but the thought of food doesn't do much for me!

Lucy, don't worry too much as a pregnancy would be at too early a stage for baby to be affected. Do you do OPKs? Maybe you OV'd later than you thought? What is good is that on this thread BFPs tend to follow WTF cycles, if you aren't pregnant!

ATruth, did you go to OOH?

Hi to Bit! How frustrating for you. Good luck next month!

Hi all, so glad Christmas is done! Really missed my red wine and cheese Loving the weather though as we have had glorious sunshine and 30-35 degrees so lots of time in the water!

Staying for another couple of days before starting our trip back. Not feeling pg but I look it as my belly is bloated and I want to eat constantly.

Hope everyone had a nice Xmas!

I hope everyone had a good day yesterday :-)
Lucy how infuriating it must be :-( I hope your BFP is just lurking. I wouldn't worry about the stuff you've eaten/drunk at all - lots of people are in the same situation and have had no ill effects at all.
Hope the chicken pox isn't, iykwim, atruth.
Sorry about the BFN,engels, but huzzah for Bailey's!
I'm trying to tempt a BFP by drinking wine (moderately of course ). 2-4 days to wait. Have some cramps and am weeing a lot (tmi sorry), and don't seem to have the hormonal grump I usually get with pmt but at the same time I don't "feel" pg. Not going to test until next Wednesday though (if I need to test, that is).
It's strange being active on MN again. Have lurked since my last AN bus moved over to ahem Facebook.

Just joining/marking place. Made a decision to ttc a fraction too late this month to get a proper go . Long 36 day cycles for me and af nearly done so I'm in for a bit of a wait til January. Really bloody broody! Dd is 2 in jan.

That's exciting about the scan. :-)

Do you think you'll get DS looked at anyway, just in case? Difficult one, isn't it?

Scan was good thanks. Too small to measure, but definitely in the right place and clear (but tiny) heartbeat. Phew!

The 'chicken pox' appears to have faded He slept brilliantly and has woken up with paler spots. Not sure now. I think it might just be a rash.

Bloody hell, ATruth. I saw your thread about it.

Definitely get to OOH tomorrow for both of you now.

How was yesterday's scan?
