Lucy I love baileys its the perfect end to a massive meal on Christmas day! Yes I am a tad jealous!

I worry dd will feel left out but i think its a natural thought us preggos worry about everything else haha!

Kt1991 · 22/12/2013 12:19

Sorry it was a BFN lucy Don’t give up hope yet though keep testing if AF doesn’t arrive! Good luck for the food shop tomorrow. Thankfully were at families over Xmas so I don’t really have to cook an Xmas meal! Although we are having DMIL and her DH over for a meal on Xmas Eve, I forgot part of the meal though so gonna have to pop over to Tescos shortly it’s gonna be manic though!

CallingAllEngels · 22/12/2013 12:40

Welcome wee and chinese

I have a feeling ladies. I'm feeling nauseous and the only time in my life I've felt like this is when I've been pg. Just poas and it was BFP, but AF not due till Friday and wasn't fmu.

Have one more test at home which I might try and do on Christmas morning with fmu (getting up at supid o'clock tomorrow to drive to UK) and will pick up some FR tests when we pop into the supermarket ont he way to our hotel tomorrow.

I feel lucky!

Lucy, if I get BFN on the 25th I will be getting stuck into the Baileys with my DM and Dsis! And fx - there's still a chance this month!

This the first time I have ever been tempted to poas before AF is due - I blame you lot!

HungryHorace · 22/12/2013 12:44

Ah, Lucy, sorry it was BFN. :-( Let's hope it's a shy one.

And I love a Baileys!

This is my second Christmas pregnant in a row, so I'm really missing out. Ah well!

I'm feeling icky today. Morning sickness has well and truly started. :-/

HungryHorace · 22/12/2013 12:47

Ooh, Engels. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. :-)

It's very exciting.

CallingAllEngels · 22/12/2013 13:28

Doh, just poas and it was BFN that should say!!!!!!

ChineseFireball · 22/12/2013 23:08

Boo for BFNs :-(
Oh Horace I hope your ms isn't too bad. With DS I was sick twice a day, every day for 8 weeks. Ack.
Very brave doing shopping today. We totally chickened out and had it delivered! I was really worried they were going to send us loads of weird substitutions but it wasn't too bad actually. Unfortunately I tried to be clever and "foretold" that there would be no biscuits for cheese left by the time they did my order so I bought in a contingency box and lo and behold...now I have 2 boxes. All you pregnant women pass over your smelly cheese. I have crackers to spare :-D
It's so difficult to reply to the thread on my phone because I forget what everyone has said so please forgive me if I miss something.
Hope the journey is going/has gone ok, Swede (it was you wasn't it?).

Toothpastekissesno2 · 23/12/2013 08:27

Ooh Engels u had me going for a moment there with your bfp...I think a feeling goes a long way though so test again! How many days post ov areu or do u not really know?
Welcome Chinese and Wee! My ds is 14 months and I am 12.5 weeks preg after two months of trying. First time it took 5 months so I am still in shock. My sis is pretty much the same stage and we are waiting til chritsmas eve to tell her and my parents. Can't wait now. It's been a long wait! Told inlaws yesterday and my mil said 'oh right.' She is a funny one! My mum will be much more enthusiastic (I hope).
I'm feeling less sick now but veeeery tired still. And emotionally up and down. Ds screamed all the way to inlaws yesterday (was meant to be napping.) and I burst into tears and shouted at my husband!
Lucy hope your af is your last(if it comes) for a while. I think some early 2014 bfps are due!
No heartburn for me yet but last time it hit hard in third trimester and was awful!!

Monstersaurus · 23/12/2013 10:35

Engels I got very excited at your typo. Fingers are crossed for you.

I'm now off until after Christmas. Coming into our fertile window so some quiet DTD coming up in the next week whilst we have visitors.

Hope you all have smooth journeys to your festive destinations.

SwedeAway · 23/12/2013 11:09

Still on the road but almost there now. It's so bloody hot here, like 35 degrees ( in the shade). Feeling rather nauseous but not sure if that's from being pg or as a result of me being on mnSmile

mrsm22 · 23/12/2013 11:26

Hi Lucy, just wanted to say sorry for your BFN. As Hungry says, let's hope it's a shy one and just too soon to show up. On the plus side, enjoy your smoked salmon. I went and did the food shop yesterday, it was heaving and stressful and I was glad to be out of there. We are going to have to go back on the 27th, on Friday as my DS's bday and party is Saturday and got a big houseful for his party but it will be party food..lots of it.
Hungry - how was your weekend away? Are you suffering with morning sickness? Did u have that with your DD? If so, another baby girl maybe?
I've read that you usually start to feel fluttering at 17 weeks with the second baby so I'm hoping I'm another two weeks or less that I will start to feel it.
Hi Kt, how are you? How's everyone else? Sorry not been on as much lately, still very tired and just on count down for Xmas. Only 2 sleeps to go! I hope everyone has a wonderful Xmas x

HungryHorace · 23/12/2013 12:59

We can have smoked salmon, mrs. And I am, for breakfast in scrambled egg on Christmas morning. :-)

Our weekend away was lovely, if tiring. My morning sickness is a bit on and off for the moment but it is still early, and it didn't start until 7 weeks last time, so the fact it's not kicked in properly yet doesn't worry me.

Busy week for you, mrs. But so exciting. :-) Is your DS really excited too?

Swede, the nausea is probably a mix of both. Hope you've arrived safe and sound now and the weather is lovely. It's crap here!

CallingAllEngels · 23/12/2013 16:38

Didn't mean to cause so muchexcitement! Must type more carefully (freudian slip - perhaps it was a sign of things to come!).

Made it to UK but just in time, heard they have closed the port at Dover since we came in this am because of high winds.

Bought a few tests at supermarket, got some clear blue as they didn't have any frer. Going to test 25th. Reckon I am 10 dpo now. Have still been feeling nauseous today.

Hungry, in NL smoked salmon (vacuum packed) is on eof the only things they really tell younot to eat (along with undercooked red meat and bagged salad). Most cheese is fine as they can't sell it in the supermarket here if it's not pasteurised.

Don't know how much I'll be on the next few days but will def let you all know when I poas. No internet a4 our hotel ut at my parenst rightnow.

ToffeeJungle · 23/12/2013 17:35

Just wanted to say hello and join the thread if I may?! Smile

Stopped taking the pill last month, had AF from 4th - 9th Dec and have been dtd every other day since then!

No symptoms as yet though am guessing it is way too early for that so here's crossing fingers & toes and waiting patiently!!!!

Good luck one and all! Smile

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 23/12/2013 19:04

Isn't it funny how the rules on what to eat differ so much? Smoked salmon and bagged salad both considered fine here! Good luck with the test Engels

Welcome toffee Grin

I had flu jab today and got early scan to check it's not ectopic tomorrow. Fx.

I hope all of you with long journeys to make have smooth roads and fine weather. It's a bit blowy out there!

Lucyjojo · 23/12/2013 19:53

I was just thinking the same thing ATruth! I was the one that mentioned to my mw about smoked fish and meats, she'd never thought before that you shouldn't eat them!? I also will be having smoked salmon and scrambled for xmas brekkie Hungry, wanted some bucks fizz but couldn't find any in the shops anywhere, and can't be bothered buying a whole bottle of fizz to mix with orange juice! I will be driving to my parents anyway for lunch so can't drink in the morning.
Engels I also got very excited for you, so more care next time when typing please!!! Glad you made it to the uk ok, hope you have a lovely stay and a lovely xmas, don't feel too sick but also get your bfp!! Let us know asap either way what the result is.
I went to asda today. crazy. absolutely crazy. was queuing for the till for half an hour. only when I was stood in line did I notice the click and collect adverts, will definately be doing that next year!!!
Soo AF still hasn't arrived for me. Not sure what to think really. I'm not even sure if I'm due today or already a day late....last period, or cd1 was 28th nov, I always have regular 25 day cycles, except the last two cycles which were 23 and then 24. But I did those tests yesterday morning which were both a definite BFN. No symptoms other than very tender boobs, which usually goes away the day before AF arrives but it hasn't done yet. I actually don't want to be pg this cycle as I am looking forward to wine and cheese and lovely food!!! I will POAS again in the morning if still no AF. Fighting off running to Asda now for a FRER......

Oh sorry, hello Toffee!! DO you have DC already?

CallingAllEngels · 23/12/2013 19:56

Woo-hoo! Free wi-fi in our hotel and ds is finally asleep (for now!).

Fx for tomorrow Truth.

Welcome toffee.

Weather is hideous. Can hear the wind howling outside. Horrible here in SE. Hope everyone is safe inside.

popped to supermarket and it was ridiculous. Queues were enormous..spent longer queueing than shopping!

CallingAllEngels · 23/12/2013 19:59

X post lucy. My typo just shows how convinced I am! If I get a bfp I am tempted to share with my family on Christmas Day. They all know about mc, so it's their shoulders I'll be crying on if it all goes pear-shaped again.

ChineseFireball · 23/12/2013 20:59

Horrible wind and rain here too (Midlands). Isn't it about time we had some nice crisp dry frosty weather? It is December, after all. Am trying very hard not to do any symptom spotting but every twinge makes me go "hmmm..."!

FX for your scan tomorrow, ATruth. And Lucy so infuriating about the BFNs :( I hope AF either turns up soon for you so at least you know, or that the BFP pops up waving at you (obviously better the 2nd option!).

Kt1991 · 23/12/2013 21:26

Welcome to toffee and chinese and any other newbies I’ve missed! Good luck for your scan Atruth do let us know how you get on.

I’m good thanks mrs how are you?
This weather is horrible! We live on a top floor flat, and right now it feels like were about to blow away! The winds are pretty bad up this high, but very loud right now! I’ve finished for work until 30th now which I’m happy about it, so we won’t be going out tomorrow if its still like this!

Hope you get your BFP soon lucy and engels! annoying when you just don’t know whats going on with your body! The nauseous may be sign!

Hows your journey going swede are you there now?

lindsay82 · 23/12/2013 21:42

Hi everyone! Total newbie, hope you don't mind me joining in. Just starting ttc ASAP. Thought I might have been pregnant last week but af came along on Sunday night and when we realised how disappointment we both were we decided to ttc. Haven't used protection for a couple of years but haven't really been ttc. Fingers crossed! Xx

donnas1984 · 24/12/2013 08:09

donnas1984 · 24/12/2013 08:09
