Part 3 for a chatty lot!
3 is the magic number, good things come in 3s, so here is hoping we get plenty more BFPs.....

Hello,
I am having the heaviest period ever, can't wait for it to be over so I can have lots of sex and make a baby!! Damn periods. Mine didn't come back for a year after the baby, it was very nice...

weebairn · 24/12/2013 11:33

Happy Christmas all!

Lucyjojo · 24/12/2013 15:13

Merry Christmas to everyone too! My AF still hasn't arrived, 2 days late now. Done several different tests and they all come back negative so I will be tucking into lots of wine over the next few days! Hope everyone has a lovely time x

Not liking the 2ww, Christmas is a nice distraction though!

Merry Christmas all Wine

Sorry about the bfn Engels Sad

We had an additional present today - ds seems to have chicken pox. Brilliant. I've spent the evening stressing, then reassured myself that the pregnancy was at no risk as I've had it before but just found four small spots on my hip. Bugger. I know they must be insect bites but I'm now going crazy on Google. Will go to out of hours tomorrow.

HungryHorace · 25/12/2013 23:47

Bloody hell, ATruth. I saw your thread about it.

Definitely get to OOH tomorrow for both of you now.

How was yesterday's scan?

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 26/12/2013 08:03

Scan was good thanks. Too small to measure, but definitely in the right place and clear (but tiny) heartbeat. Phew!

The 'chicken pox' appears to have faded Hmm He slept brilliantly and has woken up with paler spots. Not sure now. I think it might just be a rash.

HungryHorace · 26/12/2013 08:28

That's exciting about the scan. :-)

Do you think you'll get DS looked at anyway, just in case? Difficult one, isn't it?

Lucyjojo · 26/12/2013 11:06

Morning all, hope you had a wonderful christmas. Sorry about the possible chicken pox ATruth, have the spots on your hip disappeared too? Have you definately had it before? If so then I'm pretty sure you won't be at risk. It is so hard making these kind of calls isn't it! I think it's always better to err on the side of caution though.
Sorry about your bfn Engels. Hope you enjoyed the baileys! Could it still be too early?
I had a great day yesterday but it was overshadowed a bit by my wtf situation. I tried not to think about it, but it's so hard not to isn't it! Still no AF here, any signs I had that she was on her way are long gone now. I keep getting bfns though. I've done another two this morning with FMU, a FRER and an asdas own, both clear negatives. I think I've used own brand tests from every supermarket and chemist around now so what the hell is going on!!! I had a few drinks yesterday, some pate, smoked salmon and brie, and then got to last night and felt so guilty as maybe I could be pregnant and I am pickling the wee thing. What is the most likely situation?? AF is late or I am one of those mystery women who never get a positive??

Just joining/marking place. Made a decision to ttc a fraction too late this month to get a proper go Smile. Long 36 day cycles for me and af nearly done so I'm in for a bit of a wait til January. Really bloody broody! Dd is 2 in jan.

ChineseFireball · 26/12/2013 13:57

I hope everyone had a good day yesterday :-)
Lucy how infuriating it must be :-( I hope your BFP is just lurking. I wouldn't worry about the stuff you've eaten/drunk at all - lots of people are in the same situation and have had no ill effects at all.
Hope the chicken pox isn't, iykwim, atruth.
Sorry about the BFN,engels, but huzzah for Bailey's!
I'm trying to tempt a BFP by drinking wine (moderately of course Wink ). 2-4 days to wait. Have some cramps and am weeing a lot (tmi sorry), and don't seem to have the hormonal grump I usually get with pmt but at the same time I don't "feel" pg. Not going to test until next Wednesday though (if I need to test, that is).
It's strange being active on MN again. Have lurked since my last AN bus moved over to ahem Facebook. Grin

SwedeAway · 26/12/2013 15:31

Hi all, so glad Christmas is done! Really missed my red wine and cheeseHmm Loving the weather though as we have had glorious sunshine and 30-35 degrees so lots of time in the water!

Staying for another couple of days before starting our trip back. Not feeling pg but I look it as my belly is bloated and I want to eat constantly.

Hope everyone had a nice Xmas!

HungryHorace · 26/12/2013 17:27

Sounds like a lovely trip, Swede. :-)

I'm feeling well and truly pregnant now as 'morning' sickness has well and truly arrived. I either feel sick constantly (it woke me last night) or I'm retching / being sick. Urgh.

I'm hungry when I eat, but the thought of food doesn't do much for me!

Lucy, don't worry too much as a pregnancy would be at too early a stage for baby to be affected. Do you do OPKs? Maybe you OV'd later than you thought? What is good is that on this thread BFPs tend to follow WTF cycles, if you aren't pregnant!

ATruth, did you go to OOH?

Hi to Bit! How frustrating for you. Good luck next month!

Toothpastekissesno2 · 26/12/2013 18:07

Happy Christmas belatedly!
Welcome to new peeps. Goodluck!
Lucy - very frustrating! If it were me I would decide to not test til weekend and then do another one. That's just me!
Hungry well done on scan.
Thanks Donna.jt was so lovely telling my family. Sis almost fell off chair! She is very excited. Feels bit anti climax now chritsmas done. Think I've been looking forward to itso much it's weird now it's done! Ds had a nice day but we have been sharing a room with him and heis teething. Not fun! Glad to be home x

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 26/12/2013 18:18

I'm with you on the nausea Hungry. Luckily I haven't been sick yet but I've been literally crawling around the house today. Feel dreadful. Actually about to go back to bed for the third time today.

Ds's spots have virtually gone and mine must be insect bites. I spoke to ooh this morning and they were lovely but really didn't want an otherwise well (apart from the spots) boy clogging up their surgery and potentially infecting already sick people with chicken pox. We're just going to sit it out.

Lucy - I hope it's just a shy bfp x

Monstersaurus · 26/12/2013 22:38

A belated merry Christmas to all!

Sorry to read about the bfn Engels.

I think I've ovulated today. Typical as dh on night shift and we've got family staying. Makes sneaking off to dtd tricky. Let's hope tomorrow and yesterday are close enough.

On my phone, so a bit rubbish at remembering everyone's posts. Sorry.

HungryHorace · 27/12/2013 05:05

How frustrating, Monster. Have you managed to DTD in the lead up? Bloody house guests!

Windywinston · 27/12/2013 09:54

I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas!

Sorry about the bfn Engels, I'm really hoping you get your BFP very soon.

ATruth have the spots gone now? That's very odd. When DD gets viruses she always breaks out with viral spots, which I'd never heard of before she came along. So maybe he has had a general viral-type illness. Who the heck knows though with these little ones! I'm so pleased your scan went well.

As for me, all is well here, baby is wriggling lots, though I have spent the morning being sick and clearing up cat sick :-(

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 27/12/2013 10:17

Ds is the same Winston - a 'viral rash' (which I'd never heard of) at every opportunity. These spots were different though. About three of them blistered and scabbed. The rest just faded. We're none the wiser. It could have been mild Chicken pox or something totally different. We've changed our plans over next few days to avoid spreading it to vulnerable relatives, but heading down to see mil and sil this weekend as sil woukd love her dds to get it if it is the pox.

monster - did you manage to dtd? Don't panic too much if you're late at it. I'm pretty sure we conceived about two days after I thought I'd ov-ed.

Is it windy where everyone else is?
