Hi everyone. Ooh yay a new thread!

Age: 35
TTC: No 1
Cycle no: IUD comes out after AF!
CD1

Sorry about the BFN confused and congrats holly - just catching up with everything now!

parastars I totally get what you mean about telling people about TTC. I am struggling not to (have already told mum) as I know it will not help me if they keep asking but I expect I will tell more people knowing me!

HeyJupiter · 19/01/2017 07:46

Tigger ditto with the sunday testing with the clearblue early indicator! My AF is due that day though so if it's already started (often wake up to it) then obviously won't be testing. Will send good luck your way though.

HeyJupiter · 19/01/2017 07:45

So sorry confused Sad it's been a hell of a week for you so make sure you give yourself time to feel it. If anything its all a learning curve isn't it. Onwards to next month hey? Flowers

Normal pre-AF stuff going on this end. All okay really. Thank you for the baby dust though :)

Tigger83 · 19/01/2017 07:44

Oh confused I'm sorry!

I'm going to test on Sunday I think with a clear blue early indicator. I've calmed down over the last few days and a bit more zen about everything. We're off to Sweden next month so we may end up baby making under the northern lights- if that isn't baby dust then I don't know what is! We're also going to the ice hotel can't wait.

I'm feeling very hormonal and eating for England no idea if that's af starting earlier than normal or something else.

Good luck everyone!

Seven0fNine · 19/01/2017 07:36

Meant to say, huge well done nick that's amazing! Xx

Seven0fNine · 19/01/2017 07:35

So sorry confused xx

No weekend plans tea as desperate for a quiet one but we are picking up our new "family car" tonight. So excited!!

DancingUnicorn · 19/01/2017 07:17

Confused sorry for the bfn. :( sounds like a seriously frustrating few weeks!

TheresAlwaysTimeForTea · 19/01/2017 06:27

Awk confused, sorry about the BFN, that must be frustrating. It's hard not to look for the faintest of lines and get your hopes up. Don't be down about it. I think you're right about the tests and maybe about early testing in particular as it just gives you lots of stress and fretting.

Post implant life - hmm nothing has happened! No AF. No weight loss. No nothing! I'm just getting on with it and waiting for things to get back to normal. We aren't found to TTC for a few months anyway so there's no rush.

Has anyone got any exciting weekend plans? We have a ski lesson tonight (hopefully better than last weeks disaster) then maybe cinema and want to take the dog for a long walk round the lakes. But a quiet one I think!

Mummyme87 · 19/01/2017 06:16

Wow nick amazing weight loss. I need to get my head in the game seriously.

4DPO and no symptoms at all of anything.

I was out last night with the two friends who are also TTC. It's good to be able to talk to people about symptom spotting and being mental over this

confusedat23 · 19/01/2017 06:14

Morning ladies... well after our ups and downs this week its a FRER confied BFN...

Honestly i would advise you to never buy Superdrug Early or Tescos Own preggo tests!

Grumpy seems rediculous but my whole life is made up of convos about a baby who isnt made yet! Lol
Also your childcare sounds like its all sorted! I think my parents may have DC 2 days a week and MIL 1 day so may only be 2 days a week

Jupiter i'm blowing lots of babydust in your direction!!

Seven this would be good timing for a baby then if DP would be a SAHD!

Awhhh Dancing that is so cute of DH! I am getting my hair done on Saturday but thats about it really lol...

Nick that weightloss is amazing!

Thanks Theres hows post implant life?

Nick that's amazing weight loss! Well done. Ah confused I'm keeping everything crossed for you. Let us know!

DancingUnicorn · 18/01/2017 22:52

Wow nick that's amazing!! I need to get my head back in the game!

DancingUnicorn · 18/01/2017 22:51

I just got told off by oh for drinking (day was stressful, I deserve it, and pretty sure I didn't ovulate before today so almost certainly no effect!) but was cute watching him tell me to be careful because there might be a baby!

Thinking of you confused. Fx for bfp. And if not, plan something mega fun and look forward to next month?! (Easier said than done, I know!!)

Seven0fNine · 18/01/2017 22:42

I won't be able to take much time off as dh doesn't work much atm due to depression/anxiety which makes me a bit sad as I would love at least 6 months. But makes sense to have kids now while one of us is off. There may be a decent job lined up for him soon tho so who knows what may happen between now and by the time a baby comes along!

NickMyLipple · 18/01/2017 22:41

Yay Buzz well done!

I was 4lb down today - 13.5lb in two weeks! Gutted that there wasn't an extra half a pound to make up a whole stone but still...!! I'm out for a work lunch on Friday but I'll try to have something on plan!

HeyJupiter · 18/01/2017 22:25

And lots and lots of good luck for tomorrow morning, will have fingers and toes crossed for you!

HeyJupiter · 18/01/2017 22:25

Thanks confused, yes will definitely do something fun this weekend if AF shows! How about you? Roll on next month.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/01/2017 22:21

Baby that isn't even made yet.. seems ridiculous right?

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/01/2017 22:19

Yes confused but my DH will take the next 6 months under SPL. Then we will both go to 4 days per week I think so baby will do 3 days a week daycare from age 1yr. Having said that my DD was in full time daycare from 5 months as I had to go to uni and she is absolutely fine and was least clingy kid ever (until recently! But she is pre teen now).. ahh she was so cute and well behaved then

confusedat23 · 18/01/2017 22:12

Thanks Seven and Jupiter if the FRER is -ve tomorrow I am never buying Superdrug Early Tests ever again... not worth the stress! Lol

Jupiter i have everything crossed for you hun! Have you got anything planned for if the witch shows?

Ooo Grumpy you are taking 6 months arn't you?... i am also thinking the same as I can't afford much longer! Does it seem mean to go back thay early with child in daycare?

Not long been home after afternoon tea at the oxo tower restaurant. Bottle of wine, glass of champagne and cocktails 😍 Avoid SW weigh in today

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/01/2017 22:09

Seven a max of 6 months. And I'll go in for all ten KIT days.

Confused hang in there! You will know soon

HeyJupiter · 18/01/2017 22:05

Not pathetic confused, you've been on such an emotional rollercoaster this week Flowers At least we will have an answer either way soon.

Seven0fNine · 18/01/2017 22:04

Ohhh confused don't be sad! Hang in there girl, you will know soon xxx

grumpy how much mat leave you planning on taking? I know this was discussed the other week but I can't remember!

confusedat23 · 18/01/2017 21:56

I'm holding up Jupiter Dancing and HP

I've got a FRER for tomorrow morning and then thats it... tbh I am counting myself out anyways.

I just had a little pathetic moment where DH was talking about his friend who accidently made a baby and how their group chat is all baby talk... i stalked off to bed and had a little cry about the baby we have not made.

I'm blaming pre-af hormones... bring on Saturday so I can binge eat! Lol

Also hello to the newbies I have missed out saying hello to so far!!
