Thread 12 TTC#1"Trying is the fun part" said by nobody ever who's actually trying.

I'm an adopted northerner. Originally from Berkshire, now based in Merseyside. Currently in scotland for the weekend.

Wow lots of Londoners on this thread, i bet some of you do know of eachother! Any other Northerners like me around? Eee By gum!

Boob poking today. Feel a bit sore post poke but not sure if that's just over enthusiasm.

Really need to get the hoover out but actually just mumsnetting!

I cannot wait to get me a bump band! They have multi buys in New Look too.....

I think like I'm trying too hard to be a proper preggo. I know. My shit is weird.

These ones are JMB. They have an awful flower picture on the pocket. But just £29. I defo want to try the Seraphine.

les you make me laugh! Wear those maternity jeans with pride!

I agree les wear what you want!

Kwick I was looking at the Seraphine starter kits too!

New thread! (I'm late to everything!)

Congrats Bellini!

Stark the stats t-shirt idea is fabulous!

Les glad to hear it's all going well. You wear whatever you want to!!

Just checking in to see how everyone's doing.

Pink, growing a 13+5 kiwi fruit.

Les, don't panic about being in maternity jeans already! I was really bloated in the first few weeks and was uncomfortable in pretty much all of my clothes. The bloating does go down though!

Why did you feel like a dick? I am sure they are very becoming and I cannot wait to buy some! I am eyeing up a starter kit of clothes from Seraphine earlier

Congrats bellini and Lara!!

I keep losing you guys. It's all so quick.

I'm 4 + 4
Cycle 2 of ivf
Age 35
Child #1

Waiting for a scan at 6+5. I stopped POAS after a good bright line on 14dpO (HPT #4). I'm still too terrified and early to join a preggo thread, but bloated enough to be wearing my first pair of maternity jeans. I can't decide if I'm comfy enough to overcome the fact that I feel like a dick wearing them this early.

jam the beach hut sounds a fabulous idea!!!! I'm in!!!!

Think I'm miles from everyone up in (very sunny this morning) Scotland!

I'm testing tomorrow Kat it will be cycle day 31 cycles have been 28-32 days so far so I figure testing on cycle day 31 isn't too much of a cheat. Also hoping that some weird leap year magic might rub off on me, insane I know

I have a beach hut in Broadstairs on the south coast that we could meet up?? It's stocked with booze! Or, ahem, we could sit and chat and kids could come if people have them??

Wouldn't it be hilarious if it turned out some of us knew each other? Like, my boss is in here or my neighbour.

Oh jam that's awful. Must be so worrying. And so hard to look pregnant when you're not and trying to be.

FX everything is ok indi Does sound as though they'd have taken you in if they were concerned though...

A meet up would be hilarious. One of the things I'm looking forward to about having a little one is the meeting of new friends at baby groups etc! I loved down to London about 8yrs ago and although I've made some lovely new friends (and the DP) my best friends are all back north and I don't see them as often as I'd like. I miss having some girlie friends just around the corner! I bet we'd all get on like a house on fire, especially if cocktails and wine were involved!!

jem we're incredibly close to Tynemouth. The 6 degrees of separation is something I definitely believe in xx

Thanks for the list update kat. I'm up for a south coast meet. Love a bit of seaside.

Lol at huw the cervical limo driver :)

indi how scary, glad everything is okay

Love Northumberland miley what a beautiful part of the world. My BIL and his gf live in tynemouth which is not too far I think.

Ahh kat I love the south coast! We're northumberland which is beautiful. I'm right next to a lot of lovely countryside and flrests etc, but also right next to beaches for miles. I recommend it for family trips when you're all sexy mama's

Oh Kat I'm jealous....would love to live by the sea!

Bfp on cycle #2
Currently 7+5 feeling nauseous/hungry/exhausted most of the time.

Morning ladies!
How are you all getting on?
Congrats Bellini! Lovely news, has anyone else had a bfp this week?
I had a bit of a scare yesterday when I went to the toilet there was quite a bit of brown blood and also had a dull ache in my lower tummy. Spoke to nhs direct and midwife and they have booked me for an early scan on Wednesday, no blood today and tummy ache soon went so keeping positive plus I think they would've sent me to A&E if they were concerned. Still a scare though.

Anyway, hope you are all doing ok.

Oops sorry. Forgot stats.

Currently have a 8 week raspberry which is causing absolute havoc and is grounded until it's 18th birthday.

I used to worry about outing myself too, but then realised that it's very unlikely until pink on the grads thread told me she lives about 15 minutes down the road!! I definitely think a meet up would be hilarious, I do often wonder what you all look like. I thought that was just me It's funny how you picture people based on their personality.

Wow jem that's an awesomely convincing bump!
