I can't believe you went food shopping mrsc. I didn't cook/shop for at least 6 weeks. Starting to feel slightly better now, please don't let this jinx it!! And starting to want to eat. But Buzz, I've lost half a stone since I found out, so it's very possible. Took me into normal bmi range, so hoping I can use that as a base so I get a wider range of weight gain I'm allowed later!! ;)

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 13:54

mrs that's so exciting! So sorry about the sickness :( sounds awful!

MrsC2017 · 18/03/2017 13:51

mummy mind yourself lovely and thanks for all the support, hoping for your BFP very soon and your right to focus on the rest of life as well as ttc! Sending you much love and positivity!

buzz I'm the 11th so we are close too! Glad you are feeling good!

parsnips a Hump on hold section sounds just the ticket! When is your safari again? I would love to go on safari, always been a dream of mine!

I feel like Crap today, so much nausea it's awful, thought I was gonna throw my guts up in aldi.... No idea what I bought for the weeks shop because the sight of everything made me want to throw up, I hope it passes quickly , no idea how I'll get through work feeling like this. OH is being so lovely and good to me though so that's helping!

DancingUnicorn · 18/03/2017 13:48

Mummy i can only imagine how tough it must be with it being constantly on your mind for so long. Really hope the bfp comes quickly for you. Enjoy your time away and I hope you can relax. 💐☕️

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 13:47

Thanks seven get humping!

Seven0fNine · 18/03/2017 13:47

Good thinking parsnips - I'm on it...We shall have the humping, the humped and the not humped yet... open to suggestions if someone can think of a better title for that group! ha!

Just skimmed over the thread from the past week to catch up on list. So much has happened!

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 13:45

Awh mummy sorry you're feeling like that 😔 hope to see you back here soon Flowers

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 13:45

Mummy we will miss you take care - I totally understand the feeling I had the same last cycle xx

Well hb I am not sure I can be counted as waiting now that we DTD on Peak day!! Seven if you haven't already done it I guess you can put my BFP due 2 April which will be 14dpo.. this is cycle 3 off the pill

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 18/03/2017 13:26

Seven - thanks for sorting the list. Maybe we add a section for those of us who are waiting for a bit i.e. Not Humping or whatever (I'll be in that list until August). Not sure who else? grumpy?

We will miss you mummy but totally understand. Take care and fingers crossed for your bfp soon xxx

Going to update the list with our bfps in a min. Think we have more pregnant than not! Lol!

DH home for the weekend before he is away all week next week. Except Wednesday, he's got the doctors so need to get him home and get a hump in as although I'm still getting negative opks I think it's fw.

Buzz I can't stop thinking about your wonderful news! Such a lucky thread. Love your dps reaction. Mine would say something similar 😂

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 18/03/2017 12:33

Awk mummy sorry to hear it's starting to get to you! I know the feeling. There's a brilliant thread called JS or Just Shagging where they don't bother with OPKs and DPOs and all that and basically just shag and get on with it. That might be a good fit!

Hope you're ok and please do pop back. We'll miss you xx

Big love & postive thoughts being sent to you mummy
Try to enjoy life alongside TTC (you're going to NY??)
Come back when you're ready FlowersCake

HeyJupiter · 18/03/2017 12:23

Totally understand mummyme, sending you lots of best wishes, crossed fingers and good thoughts. Pop back when you are ready. Thank you so much for all your amazing support over the last few months, it's been invaluable Flowers xx

Mummyme87 · 18/03/2017 12:19

Amazing news buzz congratulations!

With AF now looming and I'm heading in to cycle 5, I'm going to bow out of the thread for a little while. I'm getting overly obsessed with TTC and need to stop talking about it. I cried my eyes out in the shower this morning 😔 Hopefully I'll be able to pop back to say hello at some point over the next few months with a BFP. Good luck to everyone and keep humping 😉

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 11:53

Thank you everyone you're so lovely ❤️❤️❤️

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 11:52

Ooh good news about another healthy extra! 🎉

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 11:52

Yay jupiter that's so exciting!!

Thanks parsnips! grumpy Ovia says 22 weeks 😱 pray for the dress fitting guys!!
Gosh I've no idea what to do now! Do I book a doctors appointment?

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 11:50

Buzz so you'll be about 20 weeks at the wedding? Did I do the maths right? You might have a cute little bump!

HeyJupiter · 18/03/2017 11:49

Yay buzz so happy you're so happy! I have basically no symptoms either apart from being a bit constipated and sore nipples. My EDD is November 23rd so our babies will arrive within a week of each other :)

So sorry orange but yay for wine tonight! It's time to pass on the lube stash so if you still want it do you mind PM-ing me your address and I'll pop them in the post for you this week all ready for next month. It's the luckiest lube around!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 18/03/2017 11:38

Congratulations buzz! Loving DPs comment! My cousins groom announced their preg at the wedding in his speech too! Was a lovely moment!

You can keep up slimming world while preg but you get extra healthy extras I think. You should be grand on the dress front I reckon!

Congratulations again love! So happy for you! 🎉🎉🎉

I'm in absolute shock and mainly denial ATM 😂😂

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 11:35

Sorry about AB orange she really is a bitch!

I have had zero symptoms, absolutely nothing! So bizarre! I'm sure it will hit me like a brick in a week or something and I'll be chundering everywhere 😂

I think I'm 20 DPO. Got the new Ovia app, has given a edd 17th November. So excited to be off over christmas! ☺️

Wedding July 15th 😩

orangefolly · 18/03/2017 11:18

buzz your DP is so funny Grin It will make the wedding day even more exciting too x

Well the waiting is over for me - AB turned up this morning, just after I weed on a stick, the bitch! Actually feeling quite upbeat though - I was so sick of being in limbo, and it has come at the perfect time for me to have some Wine with friends we are visiting tonight. I really had no idea how I would handle it while it was still unsure.

Wishing you all excellent weekends. grumpy your chilled one sounds excellent - quite jealous as I am off to catch a train shortly!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 11:10

Oh and I also didn't show until 5-6 months with my first so don't worry! And I had zero sickness so it's certainly possible to feel completely normal x

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 11:04

Buzz that's amazing! So happy for you! I suspected as much! Lol at your DP comments that's brilliant 😂 when is the wedding? May right?
