Part 3 for a chatty lot!
3 is the magic number, good things come in 3s, so here is hoping we get plenty more BFPs.....

Merry Christmas all Wine

Sorry about the bfn Engels Sad

We had an additional present today - ds seems to have chicken pox. Brilliant. I've spent the evening stressing, then reassured myself that the pregnancy was at no risk as I've had it before but just found four small spots on my hip. Bugger. I know they must be insect bites but I'm now going crazy on Google. Will go to out of hours tomorrow.

lindsay82 · 23/12/2013 21:42

Hi everyone! Total newbie, hope you don't mind me joining in. Just starting ttc ASAP. Thought I might have been pregnant last week but af came along on Sunday night and when we realised how disappointment we both were we decided to ttc. Haven't used protection for a couple of years but haven't really been ttc. Fingers crossed! Xx

Kt1991 · 23/12/2013 21:26

Welcome to toffee and chinese and any other newbies I’ve missed! Good luck for your scan Atruth do let us know how you get on.

I’m good thanks mrs how are you?
This weather is horrible! We live on a top floor flat, and right now it feels like were about to blow away! The winds are pretty bad up this high, but very loud right now! I’ve finished for work until 30th now which I’m happy about it, so we won’t be going out tomorrow if its still like this!

Hope you get your BFP soon lucy and engels! annoying when you just don’t know whats going on with your body! The nauseous may be sign!

Hows your journey going swede are you there now?

ChineseFireball · 23/12/2013 20:59

Horrible wind and rain here too (Midlands). Isn't it about time we had some nice crisp dry frosty weather? It is December, after all. Am trying very hard not to do any symptom spotting but every twinge makes me go "hmmm..."!

FX for your scan tomorrow, ATruth. And Lucy so infuriating about the BFNs :( I hope AF either turns up soon for you so at least you know, or that the BFP pops up waving at you (obviously better the 2nd option!).

CallingAllEngels · 23/12/2013 19:59

X post lucy. My typo just shows how convinced I am! If I get a bfp I am tempted to share with my family on Christmas Day. They all know about mc, so it's their shoulders I'll be crying on if it all goes pear-shaped again.

CallingAllEngels · 23/12/2013 19:56

Woo-hoo! Free wi-fi in our hotel and ds is finally asleep (for now!).

Fx for tomorrow Truth.

Welcome toffee.

Weather is hideous. Can hear the wind howling outside. Horrible here in SE. Hope everyone is safe inside.

popped to supermarket and it was ridiculous. Queues were enormous..spent longer queueing than shopping!

I was just thinking the same thing ATruth! I was the one that mentioned to my mw about smoked fish and meats, she'd never thought before that you shouldn't eat them!? I also will be having smoked salmon and scrambled for xmas brekkie Hungry, wanted some bucks fizz but couldn't find any in the shops anywhere, and can't be bothered buying a whole bottle of fizz to mix with orange juice! I will be driving to my parents anyway for lunch so can't drink in the morning.
Engels I also got very excited for you, so more care next time when typing please!!! Glad you made it to the uk ok, hope you have a lovely stay and a lovely xmas, don't feel too sick but also get your bfp!! Let us know asap either way what the result is.
I went to asda today. crazy. absolutely crazy. was queuing for the till for half an hour. only when I was stood in line did I notice the click and collect adverts, will definately be doing that next year!!!
Soo AF still hasn't arrived for me. Not sure what to think really. I'm not even sure if I'm due today or already a day late....last period, or cd1 was 28th nov, I always have regular 25 day cycles, except the last two cycles which were 23 and then 24. But I did those tests yesterday morning which were both a definite BFN. No symptoms other than very tender boobs, which usually goes away the day before AF arrives but it hasn't done yet. I actually don't want to be pg this cycle as I am looking forward to wine and cheese and lovely food!!! I will POAS again in the morning if still no AF. Fighting off running to Asda now for a FRER......

Isn't it funny how the rules on what to eat differ so much? Smoked salmon and bagged salad both considered fine here! Good luck with the test Engels

Welcome toffee Grin

I had flu jab today and got early scan to check it's not ectopic tomorrow. Fx.

I hope all of you with long journeys to make have smooth roads and fine weather. It's a bit blowy out there!

ToffeeJungle · 23/12/2013 17:35

Just wanted to say hello and join the thread if I may?! Smile

Stopped taking the pill last month, had AF from 4th - 9th Dec and have been dtd every other day since then!

No symptoms as yet though am guessing it is way too early for that so here's crossing fingers & toes and waiting patiently!!!!

Good luck one and all! Smile

CallingAllEngels · 23/12/2013 16:38

Didn't mean to cause so muchexcitement! Must type more carefully (freudian slip - perhaps it was a sign of things to come!).

Made it to UK but just in time, heard they have closed the port at Dover since we came in this am because of high winds.

Bought a few tests at supermarket, got some clear blue as they didn't have any frer. Going to test 25th. Reckon I am 10 dpo now. Have still been feeling nauseous today.

Hungry, in NL smoked salmon (vacuum packed) is on eof the only things they really tell younot to eat (along with undercooked red meat and bagged salad). Most cheese is fine as they can't sell it in the supermarket here if it's not pasteurised.

Don't know how much I'll be on the next few days but will def let you all know when I poas. No internet a4 our hotel ut at my parenst rightnow.

HungryHorace · 23/12/2013 12:59

We can have smoked salmon, mrs. And I am, for breakfast in scrambled egg on Christmas morning. :-)

Our weekend away was lovely, if tiring. My morning sickness is a bit on and off for the moment but it is still early, and it didn't start until 7 weeks last time, so the fact it's not kicked in properly yet doesn't worry me.

Busy week for you, mrs. But so exciting. :-) Is your DS really excited too?

Swede, the nausea is probably a mix of both. Hope you've arrived safe and sound now and the weather is lovely. It's crap here!
