Thread 6 already. We are a bunch of ladies who are either

  • humping (TTC)
  • by humping yet (waiting to TTC)
  • humped (preggers)

And everything in between!

We've had 7 BFPs in three months and we love a bit of lucky lube and a squinter on 9DPO - come and join the madness!

Oo wiggley our food tasting was amazing! Definitely one of favourite wedding planning days. Erm... I didn't buy any special underwear. Totally only wore a tiny pair of pants and no bra!

Fingers crossed for you otters!

Hb Italy sounds lovely. Early start definitely sounds less so!

HeyJupiter · 31/03/2017 21:10

Dancing you’re amazing!

I’m having a lazy day tomorrow pottering around, will try again to master some crochet (think I’m slowly getting the hang of it) and then off to see my new niece again on Sunday which will be lovely.

Wiggley I wore full on body shaper under my dress (my dress was very fitted around the waist and then floaty and grecian from there downwards) Switched it for something sexier later on. I just got mine from debenhams I think. Definitely worth trying to be a little bit comfortable. Have an amazing time food tasting?! Can’t wait to hear all about it.

grumpy my DH has only really started talking about it properly in the last week. I don’t think it has really sunk in for him.. or for me to be honest. Both of us keep forgetting I’m pregnant at all Blush

Good luck for tomorrow otters, are you using a FRER? Will have everything crossed for you.

Hb wow your holiday feels like it’s come round so quickly. Hope you have a fabulous time. Enjoy the last minute organisation. I feel much better this evening thank you. Had a real dizzy spell earlier when at work which was weird - nowhere near fainting or anything but made me feel a bit sick. I read online that women who feel dizzy in early pregnancy should have “a decaffeinated drink and a healthy snack” so naturally I had a massive mug of tea and a biscuit. Oh dear, what a rebel :)

Penguin any sign of AF? Are you re-testing tomorrow?

HbH · 31/03/2017 20:37

Oh YES for a food tasting wiggley! No wedding spanx here either... my dress fit like an absolute glove, and i was in the shape of my life! Would totally need a pair to get into it now

Definitely have a word with your instructor before yoga grumpy !

I'm working until 2.30pm tomo then a mad dash to get euros & pack... up at 3.30am the next morning to head to Italy... ouch!

Been feeling way better today (although i did finish work at a much more reasonable time) Hope you're feeling better jupiter ?

Very much agree how fab it is to have you 'strangers' to chat to!

DH isn't going to be home until 10ish cos something has gone wrong at work so im on my lonesome!

penguinsandotters · 31/03/2017 20:30

I'll be testing tomorrow morning so fingers crossed! Otherwise shopping and a picnic in the park planned. If I read correctly, penguin and jb1983 are cycle buddies - any of you testing tomorrow?

TheGrumpySquirrel · 31/03/2017 20:12

Wiggley I just wore a teeny tiny white thong Blush

MrsC2017 · 31/03/2017 20:12

wiggly I wore Calvin klein paper knickers, they were the thinnest things ever, you could see everything else and no bra, dress didn't allow for it! Was very glad not to have to wear spanx! I was very comfortable!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 31/03/2017 20:12

Dancing you are being so strong given the rollercoaster ride you've just been on xx

My weekend plans are very boring but nice. Relaxing at home with DD before she goes to her dad for easter. Yoga - hot, so I might tell them (?!). And sleeping!

DH is annoying me tonight, I feel like it hasn't sunk in for either of us but even less for him / or he's stressed about it but doesn't want to talk. Feel like he's ignoring me but he's probably tired after a long week. Really need him to talk to as no one else knows. Well I told my best friend but she lives in Canada. Our mums will be hopeless and tell all family within a minute of knowing.

I have been feeling relatively normal all day today except for backache and so I am feeling a bit better about the upcoming travel.. fx I can stay calm even with jet lag.

Wiggleyfingers · 31/03/2017 20:09

I am going for a food tasting session at our venue! The caterers are sorting out some small portions of a few options so that will be lovely I hope! I'm also going underwear shopping (long overdue) so many of my bras and knickers are very sad and grey looking Blushanyone got any good recommendations for good underwear? I'm heading to M&S, might also try and get some wedding night lingerie! For those of you that are married, what did you wear under your wedding dress? Do I need Spanx?

MrsC2017 · 31/03/2017 20:09

natur I love rugby! Enjoy!
seven Jane the virgin is utter crap TV that you can't help but like! It's very silly and tongue in cheek but sometimes that's what you need!
I'm ferrying DS around to his activities all weekend as DH is away!
Is it today or tomorrow you are travelling Dancing?

Seven0fNine · 31/03/2017 19:59

Dancing I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. Sending lots of love to you and DH....we are here if and when you need us xxxxxxxxxxx

But for now, if it's what you need we can totally change the subject...

Tell me more about Jane the Virgin? I need something new to watch xxx

NaturWilde · 31/03/2017 19:58

Dancing you're brilliant Star

I'm going to a rugby match, of all things?! Don't even get it like the game. But will be a laugh, and some "us" time which doesnt involve some of the big changes we're going through. DD with her dad for the weekend, so it'll be a couple of "date nights" for us!

Rugby, though!? I must love him...

DancingUnicorn · 31/03/2017 19:19

Thank you all so much. And wiggley strangers over the internet have made it so much better!!

But right now it's important we change the subject! ;) What does everyone have planned this weekend? And do we have testers?!

Wiggleyfingers · 31/03/2017 19:01

Dancing you're in my thoughts tonight. I'm so sorry. I know strangers over the Internet can't make it better, but right now I really wish I could. Flowers
