I'll Wii Fit if that helps....

Loujalou · 06/08/2010 08:28

I don't do running but thought its cheap and cheerful so will give it a go..... I also did a legs bums and tums class (which I have been doing for a while) last night. If all this exercise doesn't make a difference to my weight then I might have to stop eating cakes!

Lou I do running. If RTD gets me next week I'll start it up again.

Lemony sorry about your sickness :( hope you don't have to put up with it for the whole 40 weeks.

UmBongo well done for getting through the day. I reckon taking it one hour at a time, one day at a time is the way forward. Sending hugs and looking forward to competing with you in shagwatch soon Wink

I am soooooooo symptom spotting. ARGH.

Loujalou · 06/08/2010 09:46

So Biccie8shags what are your symptoms?? Go on - I do the same. Think I have ovulated but shagged last night just in case.

Fivealive sending you huge hugs. xxx Also passing you some baileys and milk. Its tastes like milkshake but has booze. Genius!

My symptoms are in my head

  • funny stabby pains yesterday on right hand side of uterus area - clearly this must have been implantation Hmm
  • slightly more pant snot than usual (stole that phrase from the JS thread)
  • tired (I have a 15mo)
  • felt a bit queasy last night (I hadn't eaten for ages)

So really there are none.

If I could do a really un-PC sticking my tongue into lower lip while mouth is closed and making a 'nuh' sound emoticon I would.

harassedinhants · 06/08/2010 12:50

Umbongo - well done for getting through the day, must be very hard but sounds like you're doing well. Sending un-MN hugs.

Bicnod ahh excellent ss'ing!

Lemony hope the sickness eases. I had it badly with dd, up until 20 weeks. Lost lots of weight, was great lol!

Af due today (cd28) and I reckon it's gonna get me if the crampy tummy is anything to go by. Pissed off!!!! All that SWI'ing and thrush for nothing.... Angry

Bicnod · 06/08/2010 12:52

harassed will keep fingers crossed that ERTD stays away for you

Sorry but LOL at 'All that SWI'ing and thrush for nothing....' - if only the menfolk knew Grin

harassedinhants · 06/08/2010 13:23

If only he knew!!!

Not feeling at all positive this month tbh, convinced ERTD will get me. Tummy is really crampy, and haven't had any pg symptoms at all apart from being knackered. But then I'm a working mum.....it's par for the course.

When are you due bicnod?

Bicnod · 06/08/2010 13:30

Next Thursday. Erk.

Don't give up hope yet harassed - I think lots of people feel crampy when they win their two lines.

harassedinhants · 06/08/2010 14:09

Going to test in the morning anyway. Going to a bbq in the afternoon/evening and want to know if I can get totally slaughtered slightly merry Wink.

Fingers x'd for both of us....can't manage to cross my legs any more Shock!!!!!

UmBongo · 07/08/2010 07:24

Good luck to all testing and symptom spotting, I'll be there with you back in that insanity routine soon!

I decided the other day, you know they have those experiments sometimes where they make a bloke wear a strap-on preggy belly, well they should do that but feed them a cocktail of insanity-inducing hormones too. Now that would make for good TV!!!!!!

Bicnod · 07/08/2010 08:56

harassed - news???

Umbongo men would just explode - literally, all over the house - if they had to deal with our hormones

Fairygodmother1 · 07/08/2010 13:43

Morning!

How you feeling Umb?

Yeah any news? Just drink anyway as it'd be too early for the effects to hit the baby - mother nature is good in that way!

I'm now Fairy-3shags-G so almost 1/2 way there in the Fred record of 8!

How's everyone's saturday?

x

NOTHEROLDIE · 07/08/2010 18:27

Hey hey FAIRY I'd like to amend your post by adding that the record is 9, ( AHEM) by me!!

I know BICCIE is close behind and still has time for a few SFF sessions, but until its recorded on here, (and verfied by an independant panel of judges, possibly LEMONY with her pom-poms) I am still in the lead.

Oh by golly this is making me competetive!Wink

we've got the pre-seed and DH is going to go for a full week of it. HELP!

Loujalou · 07/08/2010 19:13

Yeh but Youngy you completed that before you joined us Wink think you need to try again.

OP posts:
NOTHEROLDIE · 07/08/2010 19:17

Mais non!! It was last month... honest!
But will keep trying!

Fairygodmother1 · 07/08/2010 21:22

PMPL!!!! You've laid down the challenge...they rest of us that still need to win that baby must oblige.

Ok so not quite halfway there yet!!! Envy

harassedinhants · 07/08/2010 22:38

A slightly drunken post from me tonight!!!

Well I got a bfn this morning. I was ok with that, as that was what I was expecting tbh. So have had 1 or 2 (or 5 or 6) glasses of vino with some very good friends tonight.

BUT.......no af yet. So now am wracked with wine induced guilt. Just in case.

Also, if I had a £ for every time someone asked me if we're having any more children since we started ttc..........well I'd retire!!! How do they know????!!!

Apologies for wino post, see you in the morning for normal service lol.

Loujalou · 08/08/2010 09:31

Harassedinpants no that was not a typo! Any news?

OP posts:
harassedinhants · 08/08/2010 14:52

Lol, I think your version of my name is better Lou!!

No news at all. Well apart from a mild hangover and a weird craving for pepperoni pizza, absolutely no news at all.

Still getting lots of crampy tummy pains, and have sore boobs but they're not as bad now!

Loujalou · 08/08/2010 15:58

Test test test!

OP posts:
harassedinhants · 08/08/2010 19:40

So tested again.......and it's a bfn!! Still no sign of af.

I wish I'd waited til the morning now, but it said it could be used any time. Will test again on Tues if no af.

How is everyone's Sunday?? I'm shattered and looking forward to crashing on the sofa with dh. Dd (4) has had a nap though, so she's still wide awake atm grrr.

Fairygodmother1 · 08/08/2010 20:48

Lol! I know what you mean about everyone who keeps asking about when you are gonna have kids! It's well annoying! I think what doesn't help in my case is that we've been married for over a year now so those who luckily fall pg around this time are the ones that inadvertantly cause me grief!!!!! I would have a baby if I bloody could!!!!

Sorry for the snap there! Just gets me down...someone who got married 6 months before us has announced she's pg!

How you now harrassed?

harassedinhants · 08/08/2010 21:37

Fairyg - it's so annoying isn't it??! I'm sure I must be giving off some baby-making vibes lol. I already have children, 3 actually, 2 with xh and 1 with dh. We had said we would only have one together, but we changed our minds this year.

When did you get married?? We got married in June last year Smile.

I'm fine!! Slightly puzzled though lol. Have just eaten some yummy home-made (not by me) choc cake with ice cream, and watching Sherlock.

Fairygodmother1 · 08/08/2010 21:53

May last year. Neither of us have any ch but nearly 3 years since we decided we would try!
I think we've tried enough now but mother nature has other ideas!
