Hi everyone,

I am a massive worrier and stress head!

engels glad you've received some good news, and a baby due on Boxing Day would be lovely but expensive!
I'm okay thanks monster and better cramps aren't too bad today but I have been weeing so much today! And very tired so think work will cotton on soon anyway!

Re. Telling people, we have told our parents siblings and grandparents, as we are very close to all of them and they would suspect something anyway! And will be relying on some of them to watch DS while we go to scans apts etc. also its my birthday on Wednesday, so people will wonder why I'm not having a drink! wont announce it properly till after the scan though!
How's everyone else doing? Good luck for POAS monster! Make sure you let us know!

Better I've gone all superstitious and don't want to tempt fate. There is the usual constellation of symptoms that may or may not point towards a BFP or a BFN depending on the mood I'm in. Hopefully there will be a happy result tomorrow and this is indeed our month.

If/when I do get a BFP we'll probably do the same as we did last time - tell siblings and parents as well as a few close friends at 6 weeks or so and then announce it properly after the 12 week scan.

Hope the 2WW flies in swede and claudee . Fingers crossed.

How are you feeling kt?

Oh, we've only told my sister and DH's mum so far. My mum has anxiety so we need to get the scan done before letting on so we know all is OK. At that point, at least.

I've told a few friends too.

After the scan we will tell other family members and then friends too.

Better, my lack of sickness is worrying me loads. Though I've been a bit nauseous today. Nothing to write home about though. I'm still preparing for the worst at my scan in 2 weeks' time. We need to avoid Google together!

And no, nothing from work. A full week late now. You'd think they'd make sure they got the procedure right, wouldn't you?

I'm useless, forgot to ask hungry have you heard anything from work? And also, have you told anyone your pregnant other than parents etc? If not, when do you plan to announce? And the same question to everyone else! About his time or last time!?

Oh and noyou has just reminded me! fantastic news engels

Ok, lots to catch up on! I'm always rubbish at keeping up over weekends!

monster how are you feeling? Like this could be your month?

donna your spa break sounds brilliant! major points for you dh! Re drinking: personally, I wouldn't during first trimester (although like hungry & kt last time I had a massive night out at about 6 weeks as I didn't know I was pregnant) after that, I wouldn't avoid it like the plague and I'd definitely have one glass of something on an occasion like your birthday donna Other than that, I don't drink a great deal these days anyway. Stopped when pregnant last time, then for another 9 months while breastfeeding and gave never got into the habit of buying it again. Obviously when we go out I have drinks, but we don't have wine in an evening like we used to.

kt how are the cramps?

mrs! What are you like with google!! I'm the same as donna I had low lying placenta at 20 weeks last time and another scan at 32 weeks and it was all fine! I feel your google urge though, I've been resisting googling missed miscarriages for weeks as I still have the niggle all is not well. I'm just being an over worrier though (although don't even like saying that as feels like it's tempting fate!) I'm only basing concerns on having much fewer symptoms this time round, mainly no sickness. So I've stopped myself. Trying to adopt the attitude of what will be will be! Scan a week tomorrow so fingers crossed that will put my mind at rest!! Once baby is wriggling I'll be fine, it's these bloody early weeks!!

How is your ds atruth croup is just horrible! breaks your heart hearing them :(

I think that's everything, sorry to any I've missed, hi to newbies!!

Nice new thread, I'll try and stay here and have less missing AF this time.
Good news on the hcg engles
I'm going to give it a month or 2 before trying OPKs

Noyoucanwatchpeppapig: 1st official cycle, DD 2.8 odd long 77 day cycle nov-jan.

Hi guys. Will do a proper post replying to previous thread stuff in a sec but for now,

better dd 2 this week! 11+3 with no2. Fell pregnant on cycle 2 after having implant removed.

Good luck POAS tomorrow Monster! A day early is nothing. :-)

Good to hear about the hcg Engels.

Hungry, I've resisted today but might have a cheeky wee poas tomorrow. Only a day early, fingers will be well and truly crossed.

Almost forgot! Monstersaurus. TTC since October (cycle 3). DS is 19 months.

And excellent news re the hcg too, Engels. :-)

DD is finally cutting her first tooth. About bloody time!

I've got two boxes of Clearblue OPKs too, Metal!

I might pop mine onto eBay though as I bought 4 boxes for £60 so wouldn't mind a little bit back!

Great news Engels, glad you can finally move on. And sod's law says you'll get pg second month then!

Just like I shelled out loads of money on some expensive Clearblue opks in December before I got my BFP... (hanging on to them for now until I've passed the 12-week mark, but will be happy to donate them to a good home after that.)

Welcome to all the newbies, and good luck!

Anyone else find themselves playing with due date calculator when ttc?

Everytime we've used opks I've had a BFP in 2 or 3 months so hoping it'll happen fairly quickly when we start trying again in 6 weeks. Though have just calculated that if I get pg in the 2nd month I'd be due on Boxing Day!

Just had call from hospital to say HCG is 1 so all clear and no need to go back. About bloody time! Almost 3 months since mc - can't believe it's taken this long! Have already missed ov this month anyway which makes me feel better about waiting.

welcome to everyone just stepping on board!

Excellent new thread Swede!
Hi again Engels!
Lucy cycle 7 of ttc #2. DD is 2 and conceived 2nd cycle.

Will do another opk in a few hours I think, and maybe dtd tonight then wednesday night. It was after what you said your gynae said Swede that got me thinking maybe we've peaked too soon. Maybe I'll skip tonight and go for tomorrow night instead...or wait and see what the opk says. God it's all just such a guessing game!!!

Happy to keep you company during the 2ww swede, and really sorry about your recent mc.

Hello to everyone else!

Thanks for the new thread swede!

Kt-1991 5/6 weeks pregnant -cycle 4, but over 6 months. Ds who will be 3 on 1st Feb :)

Good luck to those waiting for their BFPs :)

adding to the roll call - Guinnessgirl, DS aged 3, ttc #2 since Nov 2013.
