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

[BeedlesPineNeedles]

Yeah new thread

Brooking hard for you geek nice to see you, are you going to hang around? I hope so.
Thanks for the encouragement ladies it's much needed I'm not really feeling it at the moment don't think this will be our month.

Twit twoo imps those trousers!

I've actually had some decent and pretty 30f bras from m&s lately would never let them fit me but the selection has got better.

I did Pasta - the 32 band was really really tight. Are they usually really tight to start off with? I can pull a 34 way more than an inch away from me when wearing it backwards, so it is clearly too big, but the thought of wearing something as tight as the 32 was quite off-putting. Do I just need to get used to it?

Thanks for the info Loopy I had no idea it would ever be recommended before cycle midpoint. I'm just north of Worcester, I'm sure our paths must have crossed on some occasions!

Dammit, work is blocking the M&S link - for pity's sake, how bad must they be for safesense to kick in?!

Thanks pasta, imps, beedle, keep, and everyone for the well wishes, it's really appreciated and good to know I can still pop by when needed :)

trix I'll be by when I can, for as long as things are going ok with this BFP, but I'm already very frustrated with work's constant blocking of the site!

Congrats to beedle and keep, I can't believe there are so many BFPs on here, this must surely be a lucky thread!

It does feel strange at first but doesn't take long to get used to it. Bras stretch with use too so the initial tightness soon turns to comfortably snug. Wearing a correct size after a long period of wearing the wrong one also feels strange as the bra will be sitting on bits of skin that aren't used to it so the first time you wear your correct size is the hardest. Black bras are also tighter so I would avoid black to start with.

Okay, I'll persevere. I wear mainly white or pale tops so a white bra would be my preference anyway.

On the bra subject, I measure at a 30 too, but after a couple of hours I simply can't breathe and end up so bruised I can't wear a bra the next day. I've found that different makes feel better though, so some I can get away with a 30 and others I need a 32 - try a few by mail order (there are some great sites that do free returns) and see which ones feel comfy.

Who measured you Geek?

I followed Sorrell's advice from on here, Pasta, it really has made a world of difference to my look - I was previously wearing a 36A, and now I'm a 30/32DD/E (depending on time of the month)

That's cool, I just wanted to check. Are you reading this Imps?

Yes - can't believe you had such massive boob growth too Geek! These days, thanks to Pasta, my boobs enter a room at least 30 seconds before the rest of my body does.

Better that, Imps, than that awful syndrome my grandmother always used to describe as 'Here's my head, my arse is coming'

Geek by progesterone from 7dpo I meant days past ovulation, so for anyone normal enough to have a 28 day cycle then they would take it from cd21.

They sound strict at your work geek
Imps* the bras are bound to feel tight compared to what you are used to be try a few on different styles maybe even a couple of different sizes to get it right. I'm 29inch around the ribcage so it's trial and error for me to get the right fit and comfort.

No vomming today!!! Maybe it's on its way out??? It has been replaced by extreme knackeredness today though - contemplating bed already.

Oh how I hope this means that Implette is still okay. 2 weeks to scan.

Yay to no vomming. It's on the way out and that's normal, and under 2 weeks now till you see your implette

geek I'm brooking so hard for you. We had some really hard times for the brokers recently we are all a bit astounded at recent turn of events, you have chosen a good time to return

No negativity trix, just get smacking that rat

Ahh loopy I'm so thick, thanks for explaining it. I'm really not living up to the 'geek' part of my name today

Long may it last keep, I'm sorry I missed giving my support through the hard times.

trix super strict - I'm going to have to keep my mn'ing times to out of work hours, I think. Now, stop mning and get those legs up in the air

Yay for no vomming imps, I hope this is the point at which you can just chill out and bloom!

loopy I can see a line, will you do Another one today or wait a few Days?

imps woohoo for no vomming

magicbooblady what were the other meaurements you were talking about? (currently fairly comfy in a 34E)

Not looking forward to bra shopping here, going from inches to cm and then to cup sizes that don't include DD. But it appears that they use the same bonkers old measuring system here, I put my measurements in on a website and was told I was the equivalent of I think 38B - I think not. Considering I've gone up 2 cup szes in the last few weeks I would earlier have been a 38 nothing

Yes Loops will you be testing again today?? Remember to post a photo IMMEDIATELY

This is MBL's advice to me, to save her from writing it again:

First thing is to take your bra off as it can affect the measurements if it doesn't fit.

Measure the underboob tightly, so tight that you think the tape will snap.

Next measure the same again but this time snugly so that you can get 2 fingers underneath.

Measure over the boob at the largest point while standing up. Don't squash the nipples

Measure over the boob at the largest point while leaning over so your back is parallel with the floor and the boobs are dangling free

Let me know the snug, tight, standing and leaning in inches and I'll come back with a starting size to try.

I think this might end up as another chemical. I POAS (FRER) and there is still a line but it's not any darker than yesterday. Today's line isn't as crisp as yesterday's, it just doesn't look as strong. Will test again tomorrow which will be 13dpo but feeling very pessimistic about this ones chances unless it turns into a stronger/darker line by tomorrow. If this is another chemical then it's so unfair as I've had so many that haven't worked out already.

Oh loopy I hope not. Its still so early, could it just be different wee concentration or something? I'm probably clutching at straws but it seems so unfair. I'm still brooking for you.

Thanks imps I will get measuring tonight, I didn't know about the so tight you're being cut in half bit!

Oh fuck Loopy I bloody hope not. Brooking brooking brooking. Come on embie, fucking stick.

See what I mean? The top is yesterday's line, here it is a pink solid crisp edged line. The bottom is today's, just not as good as yesterday's. Even harder to photograph. I can see it here and it's still pink, but it really should be darker after 24 hours between tests. Just feel like it's hopeless already.

To clarify the one on the right is yesterday's and the left is today's, as just realised photo is rotated!

Oh loopy I'm brooking for you. You're right, it's not fair. BUT it's still v early so hcg could be going from say 10 to 15, so line would still be v pale
Fucking stick embies!!!
