Don't know if it made a difference but I cut my drinking loads the cycle I got pg. from 1 or 2 glasses a night to one or two a week.

MrsBri · 23/12/2012 08:33

Hello all :-) I thought I'd lost you, but you have a new thread!

Just de-lurking to say that the cycle I got pregnant was my booziest month for some time. I drank on the day of conception, had my hen do around implantation and had a lot to drink the day before I found out! I don't normally drink much, but circumstances were different that cycle!

Interesting how it differs. Though I wouldn't see a bottle or two over a week as being a heavy drinker either.

RedRobin1 · 23/12/2012 09:53

I don't feel pregnant at all. My temps look like crap. Have no hopes of a bfp. Had a very emotional chat with DH last night and I am okay now. Just preparing for AF to arrive.

On the drinking thing - since we started ttc DH and I barely drink 2 units a week. Christmas is a different matter! But I don't think cutting down down on drinking made any difference.

Ah red don't lose hope - I will keep fx for you x

FYI dtd at the in-laws is so hard!! We are in the room with the squeekiest bed EVER!! Just had the quickest, almost immobile shag ever! Grin Makes me realise tantric sex would be handy about now... Anyone got any tips for this kind of thing? Not possible to dtd on sofa or anywhere else as people hang around all over the house all day!! (Unless we are out with them!) Confused

twinklestar2 · 23/12/2012 11:03

Hugs red.

Cd35 and still no sign.

resipsa · 23/12/2012 11:46

red keep hoping. Likewise winkle.
Hi Nic, I mean, mrsbri. How're marriage and babies???
fatas after your train incident earlier this year, you don't wanna risk being caught with your pants down Xmas Grin!

twinklestar2 · 23/12/2012 11:47

Hehe I remember the train incident!

Remember my covert winkling at mother in laws?!

fatasbrandybutter · 23/12/2012 11:50

Ah yes - have been trying to block the train incident from my memory!! Yes if anyone is going to get caught...

Hey nic how are you?? I hope all is going really well x

MrsBri · 23/12/2012 11:58

Ooh...I'd forgotten the train incident. Grinning remembering it now :-)

Married life is great, thank you. Thankfully the pregnancy seems to be going well. We were given an EDD of 20th June after the 12 week scan, but as that moved us 4 days forwards I think they'll go off the next one as the 'definitive' date.

You lot all need to get upduffed. I miss chatting with you all. The other side isn't quite the same :-/

Will keep everything crossed :-)

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 23/12/2012 14:08

Hi mrsbrie glad to hear it is all going well. We will all be doing our best to get upduffed I promise.

resipsa thanks for reminding me of the train incident (heehee)

kittenskittenskittens · 23/12/2012 14:30

I remember the train incident Grin it was going into my film I recall!!!
Ohhh fx winkle another day!

RedRobin1 · 23/12/2012 16:51

Haha I remember the train incident too fatas

winkle fx for you still - hoping its late but a positive bfp.

LittleMissSnowShine · 23/12/2012 16:55

fatas - lol at squeaky bed! Up against bedroom wall? The floor? Be careful of carpet burn!! All in the line of duty!!

Im not a big drinker cos of ds and early morning starts days im.working but i usually head out with friends onxe a month for a wee boozy night out and last cycle was no diff! I hate being asked how much I drink.on average - i could go a fortnight on zero units and then drink 14 in one night and then no more for a fortnight lol

winkle - still no af!!!

mrsbri - hello! Glad all well :)

reindeer - ugh sorry ur in pukesville too. Feeling a bit more normal today, but tomorrow could be another epic day like y'day, so hard to make plans to do anything when you just have no idea how you'll be feeling!!

fatasbrandybutter · 23/12/2012 16:57

You lot are a bunch of elephants!! Wink
Never telling you anything embarrassing again!! Just kidding - I have since heard of it happening to loads of people so feel better!

We promise to try and get upduffed ASAP mrsbri/nic! Hurry and spread the baby dust over us!

twinklestar2 · 23/12/2012 17:32

The thing is, the later AF is the mater I ov'd which means I didn't do it at the crucial time! Dtd cd 13, 15, 16, 17 and 21. Currently on cd35.

RedRobin1 · 23/12/2012 17:44

Winkle - When did you get the positive on the cbfm?

We last had a proper good dtd on cd13 but I OVed on cd17. We did dtd on cd16&17 but both times I was in top so I stupidly think that the sperm never got up there. So I think we've most likely missed it this month.

Mrsbri we can't wait to join you either....

Having sex at the inlaws orin a house full of people has always made me uncomfortable. Dh had to cover my mouth last time Blush and yes squeaky beds are the worst!

twinklestar2 · 23/12/2012 18:11

Red - CDS 15 & 16

fatasbrandybutter · 23/12/2012 19:09

red the 2 times I have been pregnant I was on top Grin so that throws your theory off! Sounds like you've covered your bases to me x

twinklestar2 · 23/12/2012 22:07

Red I wouldn't worry about being out cause you went on top :)

LittleMissSnowShine · 24/12/2012 09:12

red - u only need a tiny drop to have gotten in there at the right time so dont think being on.top rules this month out. Fx!

winkle - maybe you ov on cd 18 or something and cd17 would have covered you for that? You going to poas again or wait it out??

I'm feeling a bit less sick which is obviously nice but after the last time and the bleeding last week is also making me Hmm if all is going well surely the hormone levels should be getting higher and i should be feeling steadily worse. Gah!! Next hospitsl appt isnt til 2nd Jan so just going to have to wait patiently(ish). Now time for xmas eve to commence!!

SantaKittenClaws · 24/12/2012 09:36

Wow you girls can talk, I've only been off for a couple fo days and I've missed so much! Quick catch up then (sorry if I miss anyone)...

monthly congrats on the bfp! :o

twinkle still got my fx that af is staying away for the right reasons!

littlemiss and raindeer sorry you're both feeling pukey (but only a little bit as it's a good thing really....bit weird to feel Envy of someone's nausea!)

red don't lose hope yet, it sounds like you covered your bases dtd so you're definitely in with a chance - it's not over till the witch shows her ugly face

fatas lol at trying to dtd quietly - I think you needed to get down on the floor! :o

mrsbri glad eberything is going well for you, hopefully we can all come and join you soon!

I don't have anything to update really - am halfway through the 2ww and trying my best to ignore it really and just busy myself with Christmas. Absolutely no signs or symptoms not that i've been looking honest

Anyone else at work today? I'm in the office until 1230, booo :(

RedRobin1 · 24/12/2012 10:28

Thanks girls Smile just a waiting game I guess. 11dpo today and feel just same as last month.

Hope the morning sickness reduces for both of you so you can enjoy Christmas without being pukeySmile

winkle You have def got it covered as sperm lives upto 5 days inside ou during your fertile period. So even of you OVed late you'd have plenty floating around. Still no sign of AF? Smile Hard to not get excited!

RedRobin1 · 24/12/2012 10:30

Hi kitten booooo to work! Hope you get to leave early today. In at home in pjs still.

Thingymajigs · 24/12/2012 10:51

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas. Good luck to everyone in their tww and those waiting for scans. I'm going to be busy pestering my partner for sex until New Years and getting ready for Christmas. I'm cooking for the entire family tomorrow. Have a good one! Smile

LittleMissSnowShine · 24/12/2012 11:18

Yes happy xmas everyone Xmas Grin !! Feeling sick again, hoping that's a good sign!

I've been off work since Wednesday - just got last presents wrapped and another load of washing done. Just need to cook ham, make soup, do some ironing and give the living room a good hoover and that for everyone coming round tomorrow. Meantime I've banished DH and DS to the park for half an hour so got feet up and muppets xmas carol on tv!

Christmassy baby dust and good wishes to everyone mid-shagathon or on 2 WW or about to poas. Really hope Santa is good to us all - after visiting my friend and her 6 day old baby girl yesterday I am feeling vvvvvvvvv broody!!!!!!
