Thanks ladies. Well the day ended a lot better than it started because DP proposed this evening . Almost forgotten about arrival of AF!!

awwwwww congrats!!!!

Congrats happy!! lovely news! (sorry about af though)

moll hope your Gp can put your mind at rest and give you some reassurance about your humperdinck.

Have been feeling v moody today with the usual pre af sore boobs and bloating so thinking I'm prob out But a wk to go so trying to think positive....

Lovely news happy! Congratulations!

Fab news happy! So will you carry on TTC or get on with the wedding planning?!? So exciting!!!

Captain sorry to hear your news!

woo hoo - fab news Happy

Wow, massive congratulations Happy, what a wonderful end to your day

Aquarius You are very much still in the game until AF rears her ugly head. I think most of us PG ladies on here were convinced AF was imminent when we got our BFP's

Captain you have filled me with fear! When I got my scan last week the Sonographer lady told me I have a cyst on my left ovary but I couldn't have cared less at the time because I was too busy being relieved that there was a heartbeat, but I hope it's not one of those mo fo's!! I will interrogate further at my scan next Friday but if I have one mine will have to be Englebert

Congratulations Happy.

Captain a friend of mine had a large cyst on one of her ovaries. She had it removed and got pg about 5 years later (she wasn't trying before that).

No real news here. I've got high on the CBFM so I guess it's shag fest for the next few days.

Massive congratulations Happy! We want the full story - were you expecting it at all?

Aww thanks ladies. It's been a crazy day! Definitely going to carry on with the TTC Bunny I'm not giving up now! Quod we'd talked about it obviously but been so preoccupied with TTC lately that it hadn't even crossed my mind. Was totally

How did he propose? When do you plan to get hitched?
I have a MN friend who got her bfp 2 days before her wedding in oct! It was sooo exciting!

Congratulations Happy!! That is brilliant news!

And thanks everyone for your very reassuring stories of cysty friends who have conceived, so good to know it's possible.

Oh sorry, and Rache a lot of pg ladies get cysts during the pg that just clear themselves up. We all get cysts during regular AF cycles too that similarly disappear. Chances are it's a temporary blip. Mine is totally benign, though slightly less common, (and just little freaky to think about on account of the hair etc!)
Englebert would be funny

Wow! Congrats Happy tell us more! What wonderful news. To think, the lengths some DP's go to to cheer us up after TTC disappointments

Aqua trust me, you're not out til you're out. I had an Elderberry posse screaming at me to test when I was convinced I was about to come on - five days of AF pains and no sign. And they were right.

so news from my side - had the 12 week scan this morning, the sprog was actually kicking and seriously jumping around, I never would have though they are so active at this stage! Was really funny to see. 2 hands, 2 feet, everything looks normal, nuchal 1,2 mm. Should get the blood tests back in about 10 days.
The sonographer even made us a couple of special pictures to put in grandparents' christmas cards, where she typed on the scan: Merry Xmas, see you in June! Baby.

So, happy when is the big day going to be? Any ideas already what you want to do?

Hazle that's awesome news! So sweet of the sonographer to do that as well

Must be a relief!

Well at the moment it's more like: "oh dear, it really is a baby! what have we done!?!"

That's lovely Hazle! Must be amazing to see your little one on the screen. Can't believe your all having your 12 week scans already. Only seems like yesterday you were getting your BFPs!

Unfortunately I don't have a lovely proposal story to tell the grand kids as DP doesn't have a romantic bone in his body bless him! We were out Christmas shopping and he just dragged me off to the jewellers saying "Come on, I want to buy you a ring". I was like "Whaaaaaaat?" and he said "Yeah let's get married". This was about half hour before closing time so didn't even get the ring! Going back tomorrow though when I will make him get down on one knee and do it properly!! Going to carry on with the TTC for a while yet before we think about wedding plans

Aww congratulations Happy! That's so exciting!

Glad you had a nice scan Hazle, I still feel like I have to wait FOREVER for mine, it's only two weeks away but I'm IMPATIENT

Congrats Happy!! What a lovely moment for you Hazle!

I am out this month, the bitch turned up this morning and I am out for next month as my Mum is coming to stay with us over Xmas for three weeks which runs over the entire shagging cycle. As we have a small 1 BR appartment, not sure how we are going to overcome this. Oh well, on the bright side I can have a over Xmas. Not liking this game at all.

Ahhh great news Hazle! How fantastic it must feel to have passed that milestone. Mine is 2 weeks away on Monday which still feels like an age. I am dying for some actual evidence that something is going on in there other than this awful bloating which is now pretty much the only symptom. This morning I woke up feeling like I had just eaten a massive Xmas dinner, but also hungry for breakfast. It's so confusing (and uncomfortable!). Going for a long beach walk tomorrow which hopefully might get things moving a bit.

I told my colleague/friend last night (we run a company together) and he was a bit surprised, and also I think a little bit worried - we've for such a big year this year.

We just had a department Xmas dinner yesterday and boss, while remembering last year's events also started talking about a colleague who had a baby last year, in June. That oh yes, I remember thinking that Kathy here was getting a bit chubbier this time last year, but didn't make the connection..
I quickly tried to suck the stomach in.

happy our proposal was pretty much the same. DH asks one Friday: want to go to town tomorrow, do some shopping? Me - well, I guess, but I don't really need to buy anything. Him: I though we might want to look at some rings..

So we got the rings, but I told him that I still want a proper proposal too, and up to him to decide when he does it, until that I don't consider ourselves engaged. Got the proposal in Malaysia, New Year's Eve, during fireworks. Were travelling with my family, so they were present, everybody cried, as you do. Indeed better story to tell than a Friday morning "wanna buy a ring?" question.
