Morning everyone,
I thought I'd start a Fred here documenting the first part of the eggs movements. Now, before I actually start I'll just say I'm not even yet pregnant so I'll babble on about every wasted egg too! I'm not obsessed but find writing things down easier than telling my already bored with a glazed over look on his face, husband. Im not asking you to reply but it would be fab if anyone would and welcome added input from everyone, whether you're TTC, already pregnant, or interested in reading about someone else's current efforts to get up duffed!
Right, are we all sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.
A little about me. 30, married for 5 years, been together longer than a decade and came off pill jan 1st in anticipation. Taking folic acid amongst other vits and generally doing my very best to entice the swimmers into signing a 9 month tenency agreement. Husband is also 30 and trying not to get too excited as he knows as soon as he does, I'll be! Then it all goes to pot.
Ok, so as I've said jan 1st came off pill expecting to a)either fall pg straight away or b) take a good few months to really get back into the swing of things. I've been on the pill since I was 15 so was pleasantly surprised I went straight back into a 28 day cycle. Thought it may be a fluke, but no, feb saw the same activity! Then came march!! March bloody madness more like.
This month I'm a baby making looney tune! My body has led me down every emotional pathway, tricking me into thinking I'm pg. 2 tests later, both BFN I now imagine its getting me back for 15 years of no PMS symptoms! I've had them all.
It started with a kiss being so bloated that I resembled aunt petunia after Harry blew her up, working its way to wind that would rival the saharan summer nights, boobs are wonky, massive hard and itchy nips. I've felt the ovaries release, the ( in my imagination) implantation pain which was awful, the spotting, could be cataracts and seeing things, the nausea... Cooking mistakes and the crying at the smallest things, thousand hint OBEM last night was not helpful.
I've got the blue veins showing in the boob and so much CM I feel like I'm on a slip'n'slide (tmi)!
I've even got the stuffy nose and (grasping at straws here) its apparently a pg sign...albeit a small one. Who knew?
So AF is due to visit tomorrow should my 28 day cycle carry on, she's coming for 4 days making herself a general PITA but no pain, no gain eh? So for the next 4 days I'll be a sweaty, crampy, moaning harpie and after that expect OH to fancy me again.
Sorry if you've lost interested or I've killed a thread before even starting, but I'll keep at it and hopefully it'll pick up, turn into something more exciting or provide a place for others to say 'hey that happened to me too'.
See you on t'uther side.

How are you doing ruby ?
Things are ok with me. Pretty much the same. Sickness lots better if I eat lots but still very tired all the time. Luckily ds is at full time school so can nap sometimes during the day if I need to which is most days at the minute 
We've had a think about names but not decided yet. We were set on Holly for a while but both changed our minds. We also liked Abigail and went of that aswell! Dh has suggested a few that he likes - Alexandra (but I don't like the shortened versions), Sasha, Nina, Anna and Alyssa. I'm not keen on some of them but so far the front runner is Elena with Ellie as the nickname. I like cuter names for when they are kids but also something that is good as an older persons name aswell. It's so hard!
Congratulations on your little girl!! Have you picked out any names yet?
No news on my interview yet, but my MD is being nice as pie - makes me wonder if someone from HR had a word with him. He keeps asking to have a 'catch up' with me, but quite frankly I'd rather never speak to him again; thankfully he's not often in the office.
OH has taken Evil Cow and her nightmare children out swimming this afternoon - think he's feeling guilty that he doesn't see as much of the kids as he used to - he was saying the other day that at least he bought them all Merlin passes so Evil Cow can take them for cheap days out, until I pointed out that she doesn't take them out at all, she'd rather HE took them so HE can drive and HE can pay for everything. The choice this afternoon was between swimming with them or going into town to buy OH some athlete's foot powder - I chose the trip to Boots 
Must remember to phone my GP actually about my CD21 blood test results (I actually had it on CD23 in the end as the nice doctor said to go 7 days DPO). Didn't get to go for the CD3/4 test as of course that fell on a weekend, how irritating! Been looking into the short luteal phase issue and have bought some vitamin B50 from Holland & Barrett, but not sure when to take it as yet, have posted on another thread for some advice.....
ruby so glad you enjoyed your week off. And fingers crossed or that interview 
What a horrible mother the Evil Cow is! Really shocking that she is expecting you and your dh to pay for their school meals while she wastes her money. Some people just don't deserve kids. Hopefully your dh is starting to see her for what she really is!
Things are good with me thanks. Sickness still comes and goes but it's lots better than it has been as long as I don't get hungry. We also had our gender scan at the weekend, and it's a girl!! The little monkey had her legs crossed pretty much the whole time though so it took a walk round and some good looking to find what we needed. But we got there in the end and the bloke doing the scan said he wouldn't have told us if he wasn't sure. Can't quite believe it
I hope you enjoyed your reflexology session I've never done anything like that. Just had the odd massage and that's about it. I'd love to try hypnotherapy to de with my ridiculous spider phobia. I have lots of family in Australia and the spider thing alone puts me off going. Apart from the lack of money obviously
I'm glad the doctor was nice for you aswell. It really does make a difference if you get someone that actually listens to you. I went to see an Asian lady doctor about my short af's, then fell pg the month after! Hopefully your bloods will come back ok aswell.
The work thing really is a tricky one. I get what you mean about wanting to stay there for the extra maternity. Do you get a good package where you are now? I left my job the month before they decided they were closing the site and were offering redundancies. Although I would have had to stay working an extra 6 months or so to actuall get it, and I hated it that much it wouldn't have been worth staying for the extra money anyway! So I'm glad I left when I did.
Things are ok here with me. Although I decided to stop my sickness tablets this week, I've managed to stop them, but felt pretty awful all week and been sick probably 4 out of 6 days! I don't think it was helped by the fact that dh has been away in London working all week so I've been home alone with ds, and I've had nasty cold aswell. So in hindsight probably not the best week to stop! But at least I've done it!
We've got a private scan booked for 2 weeks time to find out the gender I really can't wait! And it was only £79, and ds can come with us aswell as it's on a weekend. I also saw the consultant aswell and she said they want to do extra scans aswell at 26 and 30 weeks to check the baby's growth, as ds was quite small for full term. He we 6lb 8oz which I didn't realise was that small but I'm happy with the extra scans anyway!
Hope you have a good weekend
I hope the doctor has some answers for you on Friday. I've read that a luetal phase of less than 10 days isn't good. So 10 or more should be ok. I know there is a vitamin I've heard some of the other ladies mention, possibly the b6, but I'm not totally sure. If you have a look on the conception board there is normally plenty on there about it.
Well done on making a start on the gym though. You will feel lots better when you start making some progress with that. At least it is one aspect of our lives that we have some control over. I've been getting out of breath just going up our 2 flights of stairs!
I had my scan today and baby seems all ok. Just the one in there. And been put forward a day to 13 weeks today which is what I expected based on ovulation.
I really hope the doctor can help you on Friday 
Sorry af got you ruby it doesn't normally happen first go as all those people seem to suggest. I think most of us know that by now! They think they are being helpful along with the 'it will happen soon enough' comments, and the 'are you not thinking of having one/another one?' They aren't helping and I have to admit I was probably one of those people until I actually started ttc and know just how it feels! I was lucky in that dh understood there was only a small window in which to catch it after I'd explained to him how us ladies bodies work , although that didnt always make things any easier. It still took us 4 months of properly trying before it happened.
How long is your luetal phase on a 25 day cycle?

Good luck to both of you on your first and exercise kicks I seem to have put on about 2lb ish so far which I'm happy with. All I seem to be able to eat or at least want to eat is total crap. Chips, chocolate, pasta with sauces, pizza. Luckily as I've been feeling so sick I'm not eating loads of it. Just little at a time.
ruby good work blocking the EC. And I'm glad she has been out of the picture for a while, even if it has just been for her own selfish reasons.
