Afternoon everyone,
Back from lovely weekend away and seriously miscounted ovulation days ooops, turns out it was Wedsnesday/ Thursday I think as they had the darkest lines on ov test plus it was my first cycle since MC. Slightly annoyed with myself over money spent on nice underwear nd hotels etc but had a lovely time anyway :-) Decided to count May as first cycle, will try and update info above!

Louise good to see you had a good weekend away.

DreamingOfABump · 17/04/2011 16:23

a few drinks wont matter as the egg takes a while to implant and develop before it actually takes anything out of your system anyway. have a great holiday and come back up the duff please xx

Louiseteacher30 · 17/04/2011 16:31

Hi Darciesmum it was nice to do something different to the usual! Hope you are feeling well? Excited about TTC next month nd fingers crossed for BFP as fell pregnant on first cycle last time- although I know we may just have been lucky.
Another weeks holiday from work and trying to avoid the Flake easter eggs in tescos that are £1 at the min!!

Louise

EsmeWeatherwax · 17/04/2011 16:38

Hi all, lovely Sunday afternoon! Hope you're all having a good day! It's dd2's birthday today, 2 years old! So we've been out in the sun playing in her new playhouse most of the day.

Away to catch up with reading thread have missed a few posts. Sitting waiting on af to arrive here, would be just too good to be true to get bfp's on month 1!

Louiseteacher30 · 17/04/2011 16:56

Good luck Esme!
I got BFP on first month of trying and Ive heard others do too, you just never know! Im definitely going to wean myself off OPK's this month as spending far too much, either that or will buy a bulk lot from ebay!
Enjoy the rest of Sunday everyone

DarciesmumandBump2 · 17/04/2011 17:12

Hi Feeling alright apart from the tiredness, the constant need to pee all the time and craving all things apple!

DD is pushing her luck at the moment too which isn't helping. Took her to the park earlier and we each sat on a swing made me feel nauseous lol.

Louiseteacher30 · 17/04/2011 17:30

Lol I didnt get the needing to pee but I did get a dreadful craving for any sweets that were 'juicy' and was eating packets and packets of opal fruits and skittles...cue dental appointment!! I wish someone had told me about the dreadful stinging sensation in the boobs, I spent most evenings until 8 weeks ish rolling around the floor clutching chest! When I asked pg friends about it they said it was the worst thing ever- I wondered why the blardy hell they hadnt warned me!!
Im hoping that when I get my BFP I dont hit the ginger nut biccys again, I bent over one morning at school and thinking it was a small child coming up to me turned round and the 'child' who Id seen in the corner of my eye was actually my expanding bottom! Mortified.

DarciesmumandBump2 · 17/04/2011 17:36

Lol! Ginger nuts and water are a good combo for morning sickness. I love skittles although gone off eating them at the moment :(

Boobs are slightly tingling but don't hurt or anything yet.

Had a busy weekend ds1 been in football tournament today he did so well sooo proud :) looking forward to lay in tomorrow boys are sleeping at aunties house, 8 days till I get to test so on count down!!!

Louiseteacher30 · 17/04/2011 19:12

I loved ginger biscuits and water...unfortunately I love Mc D's breakfasts more and on my way past work each day was picking one up (yes really every day!!) It became a joke at work as I would be stuffing my face 90% of the day lol

EsmeWeatherwax · 17/04/2011 19:16

Lol, Louise when I was pg with dd1 I got the train into work every day, and the station is right across the road from Greggs. So she is basically made from Yazoo milkshakes and Greggs sausage rolls. Blush [sobs as Mumsnet street cred dies]

DarciesmumandBump2 · 17/04/2011 19:17

I'd go and get a subway everyday lol! But also love a maccy d's brekkie don't think I could stomach one now tho.

GMT FX that you can join me in a BFP Grin

goingmadtrying · 17/04/2011 19:19

I loved wham and refresher bars when I was pregnant :)

Louiseteacher30 · 17/04/2011 19:23

haha Esme
If only Id have lived near greggs! I remember rolling around in agony after school and was nearly taken to A & E by secretary thinking something had gone badly wrong, then I fessed up to eating 2 packets of chocolate fingers left from a class party and the stomach ache was actually wind pains! How embarrassing.

Good luck GMT on getting ur BFP and everybody else testing over next few days!

blue22 · 17/04/2011 19:43

Evening all. Loving all the stories of cravings - makes me hungry! I remember before I knew I was pregnant with DD I just HAD to have chicken nuggets and chips from mcdonalds which is very unlike me. I now realise it was pregnancy cravings, so now am anxiously seeing how i feel when i pass fast food restaurants hoping for some cravings - nothing so far!!
Think I'm on CD 20 here, so reckon I'll test around the same time as you goingmad I second what everyone else has said re drinking - just have a good time and I'm such a big one for tempting fate - if you don't drink you won't be pregnant - if you do have a glass or 2 you will be and you'll automatially feel guilty although there's no need Grin Wine

CODwidow · 17/04/2011 20:10

Thanks everyone for the messages, feeling much better than I was but totally thrown by lack of af seems to have put me right out. I have no idea where I am in my cycle so just going to swi anyway and hope for best! I think it'll actually do me good as I won't have a day to count down too.

CODwidow · 17/04/2011 20:39

Ooo and my cravings with all 4 of my ds's was fabric softener!! I actually had to try really hard not to eat all my clean washing lol

Louiseteacher30 · 17/04/2011 21:36

Hi blue Im with you on the nuggets nd chips! Oooh and the wham bars! Was obsessed with the smell of bleach but hated the smell of fish and chips (Fridays school dinner offerings and just couldnt face it!)

Darciesmumndbump have started us off on the BFPs, hoping its closely followed this week by a few more!

blueeyedmonster · 17/04/2011 22:00

Glad you are feeling better now cod

Ooo cravings mine was angel delight, orange juice and apples. I also couldn't eat 'dry' food as it make me feel sick so nothing without a sauce of some sort and I had to eat peas with everything!

olismum23 · 17/04/2011 22:14

Hope i can jump on the bus thats me off the Dec with arrival of AF, hoping i might have a chance this month :)

Welcome olismum23.
I never had any cravings Sad which really dissappointed me, I just went off loads of food espeacially veg. About the only food that didnt make me feel sick was crisps and crackers, not very healthy
