Wishing all brookers a very merry Christmas

Hi

I dont want to be down for xmas, ive been a bit emotional today tho, actually held back tears at the snowman an the snow dog lol, prior to that I was proper bitchy with the OH. Dunno if its a sign but I hope so, also (sorry for tmi) ive been so gassy today and that is really unusual.

Sparkly Im in the 2ww, AF due new years day! Everything crossed!

merry christmas guys, I may still have hope, I have very light spotting today, really hope I find the magic pee stick by new year!

cleo you obviously tested too early!! Fact!!!!

Christmas miracle over on the ante-natal

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse - SIL announces she is pregnant. The same SIL that didn't want anymore kids. I actually hate myself right now for feeling this way. I seem to have lost the inability to feel happy for others.

griff don't feel bad, we've all been there, especially if they've said they didn't want anymore!! I had many a cry after announcements while we were trying!! And then dreading seeing people in case they pounced an announcement on me!!!

Take a few days, it'll be ok in the end!!

Thanks SparklySanta - Will try and snap out of it before I turn into a really horrible person.

Don't feel bad Griff you are allowed to feel this way. Have a cry, take your frustration out on a pillow, do whatever you need to.

ahh Griff dont worry, I feel the same, its not fair is it. knocks the wind right out of your sails. thinkn of u xx

Griff I cried about three days in a row a few weeks ago when my sister told me she's instantly pregnant again. It's horrible. Don't worry about not feeling happy for them, as long as you go through the minimal actions of congratulations that's fine for now. I'm trying to think of it as a new baby, which is exciting, more than her being pg, which is a knife in my heart. She's coming too stay next month though, which will be vvv hard.

You'll get there. You will.

We've all been there, Griff. Sending hugs.

Oh Griff I'm so sorry, you will get there, it's tough isn't it.

Keep I still can't talk to my SIL properly about the pregnancy yet without welling up inside, how long is your sister staying for?

How is everyone else doing? Did you all have a lovely christmas? I've been back at work today although not too busy and only for a few hours.

Aw Griff those feelings dont make you a bad person. ttc is such an emotional rollercoaster. your feelings are totally normal. I have also shed many tears at pregnancy announcements even Kate Middleton Look after yourself and take your time

Solars take it easy getting yourself back into work. Are you all recovered now?

AF arrived on Sunday for me so I have been taking the womble lining improvement tablets. nothing exciting to report as yet. have had terrible cold over the whole of Christmas, today is the first day of feeling human again.

if Stacks is lurking away from the new born snuggle s I just want to say massive congratulations after the epic journey you have had. a true Christmas miracle.

We are quiet aren't we?

Sweetie how are the tablets going? Do you have to take them throughout your cycle? I take it you'll be getting scanned regularly to see how it's all going, right? My work is very easy and not stressful at all so I'm still taking it nice and easy! But yes I feel fully recovered now!

I've been living either in the supermarkets or in the kitchen this past week, but it's been lovely catching up with family and friends over the past week! Some of whom I haven't seen for a few years

yep its pretty quiet

Can I ask a question? Im now 11dpo an got a BFN this morning Im pretty sure I had implantation spotting which started xmas day an lasted until yesterday. I read that for a urine HPT you need to wait at least 6 days past implantation.....any ideas if that is right?? Im just so sure this is the month.....FX! Now where can I find the magic pee stick?!? Any ideas

MotherOfCleo, sorry about the BFN - but it's not over until AF puts in an appearance! Besides which, you're clearly diffed - you're glowing! Now to find a pee stick that agrees

Pleased to meet you (and the other new brookers!) - I'm another graduate, thanks to the Power of Rat Smacking

I've been missing AF for some time, and would quite like her to put in an appearance... so I'll gladly adopt other brooker's AF s in return for their BFPs. Come on Gods of Brooking, it's a no brainer...!

Please do Musical. Remember that Boo got a BFP at the same time as AF returned to me

you can have mine Musical, she is obviously on the lookout for a new home as I have no use for her lol
