The one where we all get and stay diffed, and we're brooking no argument about it

[BeedlesPineNeedles]

Yeah new thread

She didn't say much she was in shock I think! She was very happy though :o They're going away for a few days with some friends tomorrow so mum will probably be grinning like a cheshire cat all weekend. She said she wouldn't tell anyone but I guess she will tell the friends, but that's ok as I hardly know them. She won't tell any family.

Ahhhh how lovely! Am sure my parents will keel over when I tell them assuming (which I mustn't) that everything is okay at the 12 week scan. I think they've given up on me - I've never been interested in babies/children, have never expressed a wish to have one, and they have no idea we've been trying.

Gah, just had the most prolonged and violent vomming session. My eyes are completely bloodshot and have burst blood vessels on my eyelids and eyebags. Have got my head down hoping no one notices - hope no one heard me either. I only ate a chicken sandwich and some carrots & hummus! Harsh.

Oh poor you imps, I've heard weeks 9/10 are the worst then it'll ease, so you're nearly through it...

How lovely beedle...

I am in shock that the three of us are diffed. Brooking so hard it will be OK for us all

loopy and trix you'll be not far behind. Way too early trixy, but you know that :)

I read that too Keep Have just consoled myself with a Twix - at least that will taste nice if it comes back up.

I can't believe it either Keep - it's been a brilliant start to 2016, what with 4 sticky BFPs. God I hope so much that they all result in healthy babies.

Yes should have waited!
imps poor you! You have got it bad, fingers crossed it eases soon.

Oh I really hope we all can move to antenatal soon! Will the ttc brooking threads die though??

I'll follow you wherever you go wishing I could TTC

What peestick news today Trix and what eggstick news Loops??

Morning to everyone else

Oh and Pasta - you can TTC. You just have to TTC. Simples.

Have a word with dh then as he says 2 is enough

Happy accident for the third pasta?

Didn't ovulate yesterday but based on how uncomfortable I am I think it will pop today.

imps hope you're not feeling too rough today, does work know yet or are you hiding it from everyone?

loopy hope that egg pops soon

I've just spoken to a midwife, I have my booking-in appointment on the 11th and some blood tests on the 21st.

"2 is enough" indeed. Piffle! We'll sort him out for you.

Happy egg day Loops. Brooking brooking brooking.

No one at work knows Beedles - we'll tell no one at all until dating scan is done and dusted.

Hope you're having a fab holiday Keep and didn't have a 5am start today. Just 7 more days to wait.

I sent mrb an sms about the appointment, just for context I am home today waiting for our new sofa to be delivered. He replied "any news about the sofa?" Good to see where his priorities lie :o

I think I need to get him a book on pregnancy, he didn't understand why the dr said I was 7 weeks pregnant yesterday! Considering we've been trying for 5 years you'd think he might have picked a few things up!

Mr Imps is the same. He did buy a Dummies guide to pregnancy for dads before I had the MC 18 months ago, which I tentatively got out of hiding for him yesterday. I'm not sure how much of it he will retain though

We use withdrawal method of contraception so no chance of that as DH controls it.

Brooking for you Loopy we seem to be having a fab run of luck at the moment on here so fingers crossed it will keep going

Hmmmm, we intended to use that method about 7 weeks ago and look where we ended up!

Hooray! My promotion has been officially approved!!

Woohoo, well done you imps now you can tell them you'll be taking maternity leave at the end of the year! Do you get a good maternity package?

Our new sofa has arrived :o I've unpacked it but I can't manage the last bit of the assembly until mrb gets home.

I'll have a look at that book and maybe order it for mrb

Package is statutory only Beedles!! They have great benefits here, but don't extend them to family-friendly benefits. Tbh that's more and more the norm these days in law firms - it's only the massive ones that tend to pay enhanced mat/pat/shared parental leave.

Bless them men have no clue do they!
loopy hope that's your golden egg

Today's News is also bfn probably still too soon but figured I'd started so may as well carry on!

As Keep pointed out when I was last testing Trix, it's good to have a baseline negative to work up from. There will be a line tomorrow, that is 100% guaranteed.

That's a bit rubbish imps I thought you might get a bit of a better deal, perhaps you should negotiate one with your promotion!

I know its good here but I'm not sure what we actually get, maybe its time to find out, and then start negotiating with mrb how we're going to share it between us!

Keep going trix there's a positive stick waiting for you

I think the firm takes the view that it's better to plough its budget into benefits that everyone can always benefit from, rather than only those who have children. Makes sense to me. Plus I've just discovered that I now get an extra 5 days' holiday per year! Whoop!

Today's pee stick results - inconclusive

Can anyone see anything??
