keep, wonderful news! Really, really pleased for you! Are you telling people now? (I'm due at beginning therefore middle of June.)

magicbooblady, aha! Had to work out who you were there! Grin You are very kind and far too generous! (Think my days of a 30 band are over!) This time round, I am rather whalelike, not helped by the massive swelling of my ankles and hands.I've measured myself this afternoon after Googling "bra intervention" Grinand got measurements of under: 32 inches, over: 40 inches, so does that really make me 32FF?!

MagicBoobLady · 31/03/2016 20:12

As a rough guide, yes :) On the bra fitting group I'm on we take more measurements than that to give an idea of volume and shape which can affect size. I can add you to the group on FB if you like or can advise by PM if you prefer.

cartoontrickster · 31/03/2016 20:32

Hehe magicbooblady!

Great news on your scan keep Smile

Cycle number 6 here, been hiding out eating my weight in chocolate Blush

keepitgoing · 31/03/2016 20:51

Number 6 it is trix! I've just eaten half a choc rabbit too...

6th October imps but I'm anticipating mid sept! Oddly enough my sil had her scan today too, all good and due 8th Oct, how weird is that. I've only told one friend this afternoon, suppose I'd better tell work soon tgough

BeedlesPineNeedles · 01/04/2016 06:09

My cinic gave me a discharge letter with my due date on it after my 7 week scan, it never occured to me they would do that so I hadn't said I don't want to know yet. I knew it was the beginning of Nov but I didn't really want to know an exact date. Too late now!

lucky number 6 trix

how was the hammock shopping imps?

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 01/04/2016 08:05

So what is your due date beedles?

8dpo here. Cramping sensations still happening. Started at 3dpo, and stronger since 6dpo. Please god let it implant properly this month and not be a duff one.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 01/04/2016 08:20

Its 6th Nov, exactly 1 month after keep so imps must be somewhere in between but I guess she doesn't want to know exact dates yet either!

keeping Everything crossed that this is a good one loopy Will you be testing over the weekend or holding out until next week?

Are spots a good symptom? I have 3 on my chin, but at least if evryone is looking at my spotty chin they won't notice my bloated tummy!

cartoontrickster · 01/04/2016 08:50

Ah the pregnancy spot! I usually get those.

imps how are you getting on with your new huge boobs!

MagicBoobLady · 01/04/2016 09:16

Spots are a good symptom. Pregnancy is a bit like puberty, lots of hormones all over the place.

Beedle you may give birth on my birthday

BeedlesPineNeedles · 01/04/2016 09:25

Does that mean I would have to call it after you MBL? I'm not entirely convinced magicboobgirl or magicboobboy quite works for me :o

Morning folks

New boobs are a nightmare Trix. Thinking seeing about having them reduced. Although they have opened a door into a possible glamour modelling career, which is one that I'd never considered myself suitable for, back in the small boob days.

Oooh exciting to have a due date Beedles. Mine's around 25 Oct but will get the official one at the dating scan. Have you had any more brown stuff?

Cycle 6 is definitely your cycle Trix. Can't wait for peesticks to confirm the blinding obvious for you and Loops this month.

Got my third intralip drip later this morning. Hoping it's the last one I need to have as they're not much fun.

Only a few more days before testing Loops!

Imps9 · 01/04/2016 09:34

IntralipID

MagicBoobLady · 01/04/2016 09:45

We can stick with Beeby for now and decide when you post your name choices on here later :o

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 01/04/2016 09:49

Beedles that's the day after my ds1's birthday. I agree pregnancy can equal spots. Mother Nature has a crap sense of humour!!

Think might test Sunday, torn between testing early to satisfy the POAS urge or waiting until say 12 dpo when a result would be much clearer.

Enjoy your drip Imps, it's an excuse to rest for a few hours. Are you taking a book or something to occupy the time?

Imps9 · 01/04/2016 11:41

Oooh am in a bed rather than on a chair today. Might have a snooze in that case.

cartoontrickster · 01/04/2016 11:53

They normally only give you a chair! I always had a bed for mine I quite enjoyed the relaxing time.

Imps9 · 01/04/2016 11:56

To be fair they were reclining chairs, but a bed is better.

Trix I'm really sorry but I can't remember what complications you had TTC first time around - were you a RMC kind of a girl?

Imps9 · 01/04/2016 12:05

Quick question while I do my online shopping order - do you think Gorgonzola and walnut filled pasta would be okay to eat? It doesn't say if Gorgonzola is pasteurised or not - it will be cooked when boiled, obvs, but don't know if it will be cooked enough?

I could just buy something else but I quite like the sound of it.

keepitgoing · 01/04/2016 12:17

Gorgonzola not OK unless cooked, I'd think it would be though!

Girls I am determined to enjoy my pregnancy now, it will if all goes well be my last one. And from now till about 7.5m is the best bit. Am very smiley today (will put off telling work till next week...)

loopy I'm brooking this is the one, Sunday sounds like a plan

And trix is it shag week yet?

cartoontrickster · 01/04/2016 12:18

Yes imps rmc x3 very high natural killer cells apparently. A few of those drips, steroids and bum bullets got us Ds!
Af is on her way out, I haven't decided whether to bother with ov tests this time it's just more pressure. We are fast entering into longest it's ever taken us to get upduffed so I am hoping this means this will be fine straight away, especially since I'm going without treatment, can't afford it Sad
Oh not sure about your pasta.
loopy hope the next few days don't drag I would try and hold out as long as possible I'm determined to stop being such an early tester.
mbl I'm intrigued by the extra measurements re volume etc?

Imps9 · 01/04/2016 12:22

Yes Keep! There is nothing to lose by enjoying it and being excited! I'm not there yet, but if dating scan goes well I will try my hardest to switch on my PMA.

Oh bumsie Trix sorry about your pesky cells. Do you take anything after ov, or is the intralipid/steroid/prog mix the only option and only starts post-BFP?

Imps9 · 01/04/2016 12:26

Oh and Loops has the lady-on-the-other-thread's bleeding stopped? I hope so.

cartoontrickster · 01/04/2016 12:49

Oh yes I ment to ask about her too loopy
imps The steroids are from ovulation the rest from bfp. Although I didn't actually start any of it untill bfp with N and all was fine. But we are going to try once au naturel. My gp says that if I have another mc the nhs will help .

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 01/04/2016 14:26

No she is still bleeding, but I don't think it's particularly heavy, just worrying and ongoing. She had another bfp when she tested this morning but her private clinic won't do anything until next week. If she still has a bfp next week they will check hcg levels. She was/is on intralipids, clexane, prednisolone and progesterone. So hoping there is a miracle waiting for her when they do their tests

cartoontrickster · 01/04/2016 14:50

What a horrible wait for her Sad
