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.....

Windy, that sounds hideous. I think cat sick would tip me right over the edge!!

And yes, ATruth, bloody windy. Though that's not a surprise as we are close to you!

CallingAllEngels · 27/12/2013 18:05

Well, AF arrived this morning so at least my cycle is back on form (28 days exactly).

I think I'm going to step away from ttc and the conception boards for a month. Hoping for the proper all clear from hospital next week. Think I need to give myself a chance to get my head straight post-mc, which I haven't. Have just been focused on diving in and starting again. Have also misery eaten my way through mountains of food the last 2-3 months and as a result feel shit about myself. I haven't weighed this much since 2 months post childbirth! I want to focus this month on me, and just forget about opks, pg tests, ov etc.

So I will say goodbye for a little while, but I'll be back I promise!

HungryHorace · 27/12/2013 18:38

Ah, good luck Engels.

I really hope you get your BFP really soon. Xx

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 27/12/2013 19:39

Totally understandable Engels. Go easy on yourself. Good luck Thanks

ChineseFireball · 27/12/2013 21:21

Oh Engels I don't blame you. It's a difficult time of year for all sorts of reasons without the extra stuff and worry that TTC brings. Have a decent bit of "you time" and be nice to yourself. Thanks

ChineseFireball · 27/12/2013 21:24

Ooops hit post too soon...

I think I spoke too soon about not having PMT feelings. Today I have been The Original Grumpy Cowbag. And I've had some sort of a posting splurge and posted all sorts of rubbish on all sorts of threads. Sigh. Oh well.

Hope everyone is OK after the wind and rain.

LittleMissSunshine33 · 27/12/2013 21:50

Hi Everyone!

Hope you don't mind me jumping in on the thread! My partner and I are now trying for a baby ... That seems strange to say! I stopped contraception at the beginning of this month and was hoping anyone could give me any advise as haven't had many close friends who have had children and all the info online seems quite overwhelming! Thanks! Smile

HRMumness · 27/12/2013 22:46

Signing in. TTC #2. All happened very quickly first time around, we started trying as soon as we moved into our new fixer upper house and was pregnant 4 weeks later. DD is now approaching 18 months, house is actually mostly renovated and I'm now very broody.

Congrats on all those who go their BFP this month and commiserations to those who didn't. Fingers crossed for next time.

Awakeagain · 28/12/2013 07:44

Good luck Engels!! Look forward to your return with a bfp

ToffeeJungle · 28/12/2013 08:23

Good luck engels and welcome Little & HR - everything crossed for BFPs soon!

I actually tested this morning though and got a BFN.
So Im either not pregnant or just tested too early - hope it's the latter!!!

Im trying to work out if I feel pregnant or not - can't remember how I felt last time?! I have been waking up feeling sick the last few days though... Could be too many goodies over Christmas though!!

donnas1984 · 28/12/2013 14:18

Sitting in soft play with a cappuccino while dd runs riot and catching up with nm. Engels I hope you have some lovely me time and come back to us soon with a bfp! Thanks
I hope everyone had a good Christmas dd have a ball and had even kept up her part if the bargin and been dummy free since Christmas eve! she not very happy with santa for taking all her dummies but shes doing great.
Does anyone have plans for new years eve? weve been invited to a party but dh has thankfully declined as 10:30 is my bed time these days!

HRMumness · 28/12/2013 21:23

Oh noes Toffee. When are you POAS next? I too feel like I ate far too many Christmas goodies as well.

Donnas - How old is your DD? My 17mo DD is very attached to her "dee" for naps / bedtime. Am very keen to wean her off asap but not sure best way to go about it.

HRMumness · 28/12/2013 21:24

Oh, should add, no plans for NYE. We were invited to a house party with friends but without a car it just seemed too hard to get there and back (and no guarantees DD would actually sleep).

donnas1984 · 28/12/2013 22:29

hi hrm, dd turned 2 the beginning of November and we told her santa would be taking her dummy in exchange for peesents so once she was aleeping on Christmas Eve we took it off her. shes been mumping and moaning saying Santa's bad and me no like santa. Christmas night was hard as she was trying to sook her doll's dummy I almost caved in. I wouldnt take it away without prior warning as she now tells me that shes a big girl and doesn't need a dummy which is great after only afew days! fx it goes as smoothly when you try xx
Will also try not giving this baby a dummy. xx

donnas1984 · 28/12/2013 22:30

ps dropped my phone and shattered the screen so some of the words may be wrong. waiting till new to claim insurance Sad x

SwedeAway · 29/12/2013 05:07

I lost my bean yesterdaySad Had brown discharge in the morning which later turned into full red flood (sorry TMI). Am totally devastated and not sure what to do with myself. Was so happy now it's gone...

HungryHorace · 29/12/2013 07:30

I'm so very sorry, Swede. I really hope you have a healthy pregnancy very soon. Xx

donnas1984 · 29/12/2013 07:33

Swede, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling, sending you lots of love and hugs from Scotland Thanks xxx

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 29/12/2013 08:20

Oh swede I'm so sorry. Are you still with family? Do you have people to look after you? The miscarriage board on here is also great if you want sone sensitive online support. Look after yourself x x x

Kt1991 · 29/12/2013 09:17

Sorry to hear your sad news swede'hope your ok. Thanks
Welcome to little and HR!
Haven't had a chance to read back but hope you all had a good Xmas.
How are you lucy? Anymore updates on BFP or AF?
We have in palms for New Year's Eve yet, we've left it pretty late! But we are very skint ATM so will probably just go over to my parents, maybe go for something to eat, though I'm guessing probs have to book somewhere if places are open!
How's everyone else doing that I've missed out?

HungryHorace · 29/12/2013 09:29

We have no NYE plans. I was invited to a house party but it's an hour's drive away and I'm not feeling great so can't face it. :-/

I need a Lucy update too!

Kt1991 · 29/12/2013 10:07

You still getting sickness hungry? hope you feel better soon :), NYE is so over rated I think, so expensive to go somewhere too!

HungryHorace · 29/12/2013 11:04

On and off, Kt. It worries me a bit as there's none, then I'm sick in the shower and feel better, ha ha!

It's mostly smells that set me off, particularly DH's Lynx!

And I agree, NYE is totally overrated.

Windywinston · 29/12/2013 11:47

Swede I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope you're being looked after. Take care xxxxxx

SwedeAway · 29/12/2013 13:38

Ah thanks everyone. Yes still with family so lots of support. Just can't believe it, maybe it's my age...Sad
