I ordered up to 1 month Beedles so Barry-Baxter can wear it straightaway (assuming he won't be a monster-sized baby).

My bloating is still really bad despite having been off bum bullets for over a week. I've actually quietly told the people who sit near me at work - although I'm still sucking in my stomach as far as it will go when walking around the office, I can't/don't want to when I'm sat at my desk, and my stomach does look obvious. They've been good though and haven't spread the news - not that I asked them not to.

Oh and to answer your question about France Keep - we're going to Avignon. We're going on the train which is direct from St Pancras and staying somewhere lovely with a pool and which is only 300m from the village centre. Should be manageable and lovely even if I'm massive by then.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 27/04/2016 14:21

sorry about that belle but its not over until the fat lady sings!

imps you haven't done anything wrong - the likelihood of anything going wrong now is tiny. So don't you worry. You might not want to buy Everything Barry-Baxter will need for its first year yet but one Little sleepsuit is fine. What size did you order? :o

trix the early scan is at least good news and you have your drip tomorrow, so you're doing what you can. I'm sending sticky thoughts your way!

I've felt really bloated this afternoon, luckily its early time to go home :o

I feel like I've been naughty and done something wrong by buying it before the 20 week scan

Hurrah-ish for not-entirely-unhelpful-GP. Hope changed appointment doesn't lead to logistical problems for you.

Sorry about the BFN Belle. Onwards and upwards - next month is your month. Unless you've just chosen to pee on the wrong stick and this month is actually your month after all.

imps I love that you have ordered the sleep suit! I'd say the first kicks felt like a little bubble popping. Wait till Barry baxter has hiccups! That's weird.
Lovely to see far and cups
Sorry for bfn belle
Gp was ok not entirely useless but not a huge help either. She did seem to the think that I would get am early scan.
They've changed my drip appointment! It's tomorrow at 4pm now.

Weddingbelle13 · 27/04/2016 09:30

BeedlesPineNeedles · 27/04/2016 09:01

keep Little teeny kicks, awwww

imps yeah to the sleepsuit, if Everything is ok tomorrow I might Think about ordering one too (to be hidden away out of sight for at least Another 10 weeks!)

we don't have any holidays booked at the moment but I will hopefully be in England in July and maybe a trip somewhere warm around then too. though apparently my dad doesn't Think I should fly, he's worried about pressure Changes affecting the baby. I don't actually Think a few short flights will be a problem but its nice that he's concerned.

keepitgoing · 27/04/2016 08:46

Funny you ask, she said it could be a sign of anaemia, but booking bloods didn't show that, then said it was most likely just a pg symptom due to extra blood, then said she'd book me another blood test. Ridiculously she couldn't take the blood then so booked a clinic end of this week, which I now can't make, gp has no blood appointment for further 2 weeks (wtaf) so I've decided to just wait till my 20 week appointment in 3 weeks. I do get odd sensations at times but think it's normal

Where in France? You'll be quite big then... Yes it's hard at the beginning to know what it is, I feel it a bit like a heartbeat down there, which it clearly isn't but with kip I thought that and wondered for weeks before it became more obvious. It's the best thing ever!

Imps9 · 27/04/2016 08:38

How lovely to feel kicks Keep! I think it will be a while before anything cos I don't really know what I'm looking out for. I meant to ask - did you ask your midwife about your extra/missing heartbeats? I had quite a few funny sensations going on last night and am interested to know what it is.

Ooooh holiday lovely - especially the thought of sun and warmth. We'd had a holiday to Italy booked for October - luckily the place we're staying is letting us move it to a date next year without losing our deposit/charging any extra and we should be able to get our flights refunded if I get a letter from the MW saying that I won't be able to fly in Oct. We've booked a trip to France in early Sept instead. Hurrah!

What time's your drip today Trix?

keepitgoing · 27/04/2016 08:30

Hi far gosh teeny far is a good sleeper I'm hoping for one of those this time ;)

geek and beedle nearly there my loves. Geek especially I'm brooking for your tiny one

All good here, more tiny kicks which is just lovely. Time is speeding up now. We've booked a holiday to Majorca for when I'm 24/25 weeks mid June - can't wait!

Morning all

Hello Far! Lovely to see you. Yes, I can't believe we've got to 14 week (14+2 to be exact) - I don't really understand how it happened.

Loops, Mr I was on Proxeed for Men, 1000mg vitamin C and no alcohol or caffeine. I was on Proxeed for Women to help with egg health. Will never have any idea for sure whether or not it made any difference, but I think it did.

Belle where's this morning's peestick? Can't believe it's already 6.27am and you haven't posted a pic yet...

BeedlesPineNeedles · 27/04/2016 06:20

far Lovely to see you and excellent work from baby far on the sleeping

geek how are you today? What time are you being probed tomorrow? I hope its morning so you don't have to wait all day.

waffle hope the removal went ok.

loopy I had MrB on pregnacare for men, omega 3, cq10, and a couple of others that I can't remember (I'll check for you) washed down with either vit C, vit D or vit B drink. he didn't take Everything every day, just a couple of pills every day so he took each pill 2/3 times per week. Can't say if it made much difference but we clearly did better on our 4th round than Before. Oh and he gave up alcohol, but that idea might not be as easy to swallow as a few pills!

I'm feeling ok today, though I'm sure I'll be really worried tomorrow

Impa???? Imps

farfallarocks · 26/04/2016 21:46

Woo hoo! So much good news on here I love it! Impa I am so chuffed you are at announcement stage at last!!
Little far is dreamy and baby far has slept 11 hours ! So I feel like a new woman. Brooking like mad!
Brooking is from the phrase ' I am jolly well going to get pregnant this month and I am Brooking no argument' which was posted about 4 years ago by someone and started the Brooking/rat smacking/ positive thinking thread x

purplewaffle105 · 26/04/2016 17:08

Aw you guys are lovely. Hello!

Waiting at the docs right now for implant removal. I hadn't heard of shag week imps but will have to tell my OH about it! I've been reading about miraculous results post-implant removal so fingers crossed I'm fertile ASAP and a bit of weight loss wouldn't go amiss either!!

What is brooking?!

ControlGeek · 26/04/2016 12:14

I think I can see a hint of something there belle, have you got any more FRERs lined up for tomorrow?

Well done for taking matters into your own hands imps, I really think men live in a whole other world. They certainly don't have the same priorities as we do!

cups sooo lovely to see you around, hope the bugs doing the rounds have all cleared off for you now. I can't believe Z is at that stage already, where has the time gone?!

loopy it's all worth a shot, isn't it? I'm sorry I can't give any insight into your cycle, I know I tried everything going to try and shorten mine but what it really took was surgery to remove a load of crap. Not literal crap, obviously! But after the surgery I went to 28/29 days every single month, with very little pain. I can't remember if you have had endo/cyst investigations?

Only 2 days now beedle, how are you feeling?

Lots of mild cramps and weird feelings going on today, but only a small amount of spotting so feeling like I might actually make it to the scan now. I can't believe how beaten down I feel this time round. I don't think I've had a moment's enjoyment so far. Even pg symptoms aren't reassuring, as I had them with both of my previous mcs.

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 26/04/2016 11:53

Geek hope the spotting and cramps have buggered off.

Beedles hope your scan goes ok and same for trix re your appointment. Belle fingers crossed for your line getting dark.

Waves to anyone else, have scan read and forgotten most of it!

As for me, cd17 and still no pant snot Imps, not even a smidgen. So I definitely won't be having a very early cd18 ovulation like last month. So I'm now clueless as to when I will ovulate, whether it will revert to my old usual of cd26-30 or whether it will be sooner.

DH is now munching 20 almonds and 5 Brazil's every day as read it can improve sperm quality. Any other tips appreciated as tired of the wrong egg meeting the wrong sperm, as keep being told my lining is fine and I've been on metformin 4 months now so the PCOS shouldn't be an issue now I don't think...

BeedlesPineNeedles · 26/04/2016 11:32

Hi cups yes Z needs an official brooking fried egg babygrow :o and we need a photo of him in it and showing off his standing ability :o

My scan is at 13:40 on Thursday only 2 Days to go.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 26/04/2016 10:47

As if I forgot the most important thing!

Massive congratulations Trix good luck at your appointment today

Nice to see you back Loopy, I've been thinking of you x

Morning!

Hello Belle I'm not sure if we've met, I think I can see something too. Fingers crossed!

Geek I am Brooking super super hard for you my lovely

And you Beedle of course. What time are your scans on Thursday?

Btw I love next baby grows, they are such good quality. They tend to be slightly bigger than other shops so last quite a while. I might get Z the egg ones so he can match the new Brooking babes!

Sorry I've been absent, we've all been ill. I'm still feeling crap. In other news Z can now stand there is no stopping him now!

Imps that's lovely, MrCups was the same. At first he was desperate to tell everyone and wanted to put it on Facebook. I told him he could after the 20 week scan but as soon as we had the scan he sort of lost interest in telling people he didn't put anything on for another 3 weeks and it was only because his BIL outed us on Facebook that he bothered at all!

keepitgoing · 26/04/2016 09:22

I think I can see sth too, but v hard on a picture. Brooking for you

beedle and imps for me it's just I don't talk that much about my private life at work so find it v awkward to tell people, I work with loads of people so the news won't just spread. I reckon that's why men tell later, it's just not relevant to work! So I've only told about 3 people, I guess it gets more weird the longer I leave it in a way. I think it'll be a while before my bump gives the game away so starting to think I need to tell more people...
