Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle

@Foundmyfeet aww no, I’d got my hopes up for you when I saw your message.
Glad you’re feeling positive and keeping focussed on your weight loss. How’s that going?

@Foundmyfeet good! Pleased you're feeling positive. Hahaha oh wow, that's a turn for the books! I'm sure you'll get your bfp in no time 😄x

@ELBlack I'm ok. I knew anyway. But I'm feeling very positive at the moment with my weight loss journey and getting my body ready to conceive and carry. I had the strangest dream last night. Dreamt that DH told me that HE was pregnant! Lol!

Awww I'm so sorry @Foundmyfeet hope you're OK xx

You'll have to wait a little while longer before I run around naked with fruit on my head ☹️ AF arrived today 😤 but bless you ladies! I didn't mean to get you all so, so excited! I'm such a cow!! But you can hold me to the naked fruit dancing when I do get my BFP! Xx

@Foundmyfeet omgggggg BFP?? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Don’t keep us in suspense I can’t take it 😂

@Foundmyfeet OMG OMG HAVE YOU GOT A BFP???!!!!!!

@Mariex1989 I hope a little egg popped out for you last night! Sounds like a good night was had!

Remember I said that if I get a BFP this month, I'll dance outside naked with a bowl of tropical fruit on my head? Well.....

@ELBlack I don’t know who I was kidding, I did my hair and makeup but put my loungewear back on 😂😂.

Ahhhh that’s my niece’s first birthday.

@Foundmyfeet hah I know what you mean. I love getting dolled up at any opportunity but nowadays I really cba! How’re you feeling?

Well my date night turned into a party for 2 and today I’m not in a good place 😂🤢 on the plus side we DTD 3 times so got some decent bd-ing in 😂

@ELBlack - here's some useless information I found out a while ago and have remembered ever since as it just so happens to be my brother's birthday also, but September 26th is the most popular day for babies to be born. Obviously it's all down to Xmas nookie! Lol! So quite possibly your little bubs could end up being born a day earlier and sharing the worlds most common birthday! 🥳🎉

@Foundmyfeet good you've been busy! Keeps you distracted when you're waiting for AF to hopefully not show!!

Hahaha I know what you mean about make up. Feel like I've totally forgotten how to do it!!

Yes, NHS website says 27.09.21 😁

Hi ladies!! It's been a manic day. Work went nuts and I barely had time to scratch my ar*e much less anything else.

@Mariex1989 oooh date night! Enjoy! I put some make up on for NYE and forgot even how to do it as it had been so long. Didn't go anywhere, just sat in the living room but I felt nice! AF isn't here yet but my belly is growling and tender. I'm due between yesterday and tomorrow but I'm thinking that this diet may mess my cycle up a bit? I've cut out meat and I've never done that before. My poor body doesn't know what's hit it!

@ELBlack not long to wait for the scan and then you can relax a little. And glad you're feeling more positive even with the little wobbles. Have you worked out your due date?

@Mariex1989 I had a panic again earlier around lunchtime but I just keep reminding myself so many women don't even know they're pregnant yet, and every woman is different so I may not even get symptoms (although having said that my boobs are SO sore today 😭

Haha omg that sounds exactly like me!! There's no way I'm getting changed out of my lounge wear, it's the only thing that's comfortable with the bloat 😂 enjoy your date night!! X

@ELBlack ah that’s great that you’re having a positive day 😊 .

All good here thanks. Soooo glad it’s the weekend! Not that we can do much but I can’t wait for a lie in. We’re having a “date night” tonight which will be nice, I may even get changed out of my lounge wear, put some makeup on and brush my hair for the first time in ages 😂

@Mariex1989 thanks hun! I will do. I'm feeling much better today thank you. A lot more positive! How are you?

Yes @Foundmyfeet any sign? 👀

@ELBlack aww that’s great you’ve got your early scan! How exciting. Make sure you let us know how it goes 😊 how’re you feeling today?

@Foundmyfeet how’re you doing? Any sign of AF or BFP?

Thanks so much @Mariex1989 I know I'm being silly about the lines, but it's the only thing I have to see the baby is OK. I did a long lunch time walk and feeling much better now. As you both said (and my sister, and my mum, and my best friend, and my husband 😂🙄) symptoms do come and go. I filled my car up with fuel today and I had my mask on whilst doing it, but omg the smell was soooooo strong I had to turn my head. That made me feel better 😂

I've booked a scan for 13th Feb, when I will be 7+6 so really looking forward to that!

That's reassuring about your friend, every woman is different, just need to remember that x

@ELBlack please don’t panic about the lines, like @Foundmyfeet said you will send yourself crazy. Even if it’s slightly lighter it’s still a hell of a good line 😊. I’ve read so many threads that say the symptoms come and go. If you start stressing you can always book an early scan privately. My friend did this at 8 weeks as she wasn’t haven’t any symptoms, but she’s just recently given birth to a healthy baby boy 😊.

Omg please please PLEASE you have to do that foundmyfeet!!! Of course I’ve always hoped you get your BFP but even more so now 😂.

The wine last night helped me get my mojo back so we’re away with the BD-ing now. No idea if it’s the “right” time of the cycle but only time will tell I guess and have fun while we wait 😉

@Foundmyfeet thanks so much for replying! In my logical mind, I know it's silly. Because each day is different, and so many people don't find out they're pregnant yet. I will stop testing I think, it's not doing any good for my mental health. For example yesterday my line was so much darker than 2 days before and I was instantly in a good mood. I have to trust my instincts and just hope everything turns out OK, which I'm sure it will.

I'm not a believer, but I do believe what will be, will be, and I can't control it. I feel like this year we will have a beautiful healthy baby, so I am just trying to hold onto that feeling.

Thanks so much for being so kind and supportive! It's really helped xx

@ELBlack please, please don't panic!! Back away from the pregnancy strips. Every day is different. Symptoms come and go. You may not feel many symptoms today but tomorrow you could wake up feeling like you've been hit by a truck! You are still early and your body is still adjusting. I know so many women who had zero symptoms throughout (b**es!!) and don't forget those who don't even know they're pregnant until the baby is halfway out!

I know the daily testing is having somewhat of an insight and element of control but you can't test everyday for the next 7/8 weeks. You will become crazy, particularly if the line shades are varying. All you can do is look after yourself, physically and emotionally. I don't know if you have a faith, but in case you do, "give it to God. Leave your problems and worries for Him. He will look after you." I live by this now, I learnt the hard way but it was a process that made me alter my outlook on life and free me of lots of anxieties. I'm no bible basher by the way! And I don't mean to cause any offence.

Also, I only had a handful of crazy dreams in my pregnancy. My boobs weren't sore all the time either...just massive! Honestly. Xx

Morning ladies, having a bit of a wobble today. I didn't have any crazy dreams last night and my boobs aren't as sore as yesterday. I'm only 4+4 so I know it's so early still, but I did an IC and it looks a bit lighter than yesterday. I'm not sure what I'm looking for here, just a hand hold I think xx

@ELBlack - I agree with you. I waited until DD was born to know she was a girl. But throughout my pregnancy my mum kept going on about it being a girl and was even calling my bump by the girls name which I had in mind. It. INFURIATED. Me!! As it turned out, it was a girl and I did end up giving her that name anyway! Lol! But still...!

@Mariex1989 - she's not here yet but if I get a BFP instead of AF this month, I promise I will run down the street naked with a bowl of tropical fruits on my head, record it and post it on YouTube!

@Foundmyfeet it's weird because some days my smell is crazy and I smell everything and other days I just smell normal things but heightened. Luckily I've not become a bloodhound yet, and I've not got nausea either.

@Mariex1989 yes so many 0% options now. DH is doing a food shop tomorrow so I'll get him to pick some options up.

Yeah it's nice to keep it a surprise. We don't want to draw conclusions about who they are until they're born, and I just know if we find out the sex we will decide a name and then before we know it, we've created an identity for them. I also think it will keep me going through contractions 😂😂

@ELBlack the non alcoholic gins are quite nice! If ever I’ve driven somewhere and wanted to feel like I’m drinking, they do they trick! The 0% kopperberg’s are good as well.
That’s really nice that you’re waiting, it’ll be an amazing surprise! You’re more patient than I am though. The minute I get a BFP I’ll be wanting to know the sex 🙈.

@Foundmyfeet 😂😂 you do make me chuckle. Hopefully it’s baby brain! No AF yet? Good sign! Hopefully she stays away!!!!!

Yep it worked! Lol!
