Oh parsnips sending hugs to Dubai xx

I spent 10 years with a compulsive lying cheater (sounds pretty stupid when written down) and I'm absolutely not saying yours is this but I can totally relate to stumbling across something untoward and your heart/stomach completely dropping. It's probably good you're having a time out and then can try and talk about it with some perspective tomorrow rather than when you're raging/he's drunk. He clearly needs to realise how lucky he is to call you his wife.

Amazing to hear about your DH announcement confused ! It's got me thinking about potential ideas! Don't know whether DH would want to be there or find out later! Hoping to be involved in the March BFPs!

parsnips hope you're getting some sleep, and giving all the hugs and for your chat tomorrow. I really hope you can work things through ❤️

confused so happy for you and your DH. That reaction is fab :)

Morning ladies,
Hope you slept well parsnips and you get some honest answers from DH
How are you today confused? Loves you DH's reactions

8dpo, CD22... so yesterday late afternoon I was feeling very periody which I don't get until my period is actually coming. Also my public bone hurts intermittently feels like SPD!! Still temping, had a dip on Thursday which would be in line with all the pain I had that day..?implantation dip? Next day it started to go back up again and today higher than ever.. trying not to get my hopes up and be realistic

So he did of course try to move into the bed last night (completely pissed) so I just swapped and went to the sofa. He's been very sheepish this morning but not said anything then was singing and laughing and joking as if everything was fine. I just said to him that if he thinks that everything's going to go away if he doesn't mention it then he is wrong. He had to pop out this morning to the tailors (I was meant to go with him but I didn't want to) so I said if I were him I would use the time for a serious think or I wouldn't be here when he gets back. So that shook him into reality and he said we can speak when he gets back. I told him he better have something decent to say to explain all this! Bit annoyed he can't come up with that for himself really - I'm not going to fix this for him!

Anyway hope everyone is having a better weekend than me!!! 💩💩💩

I'm glad you've shaken him into reality parsnips and I hope the conversation later proves that he is taking this seriously and acknowledges that he has done something wrong. I think a lot of people (women too) seek out these flirty banter exchanges as it provides some degree of validation that they are still attractive to others. Often they do it in a "safe" way, e.g. at a distance or via text because they can enjoy that validation without going too far. I imagine if she turned up on his doorstep offering herself on a plate he would refuse as she will have made it 'too real'. This doesn't justify his behaviour at all and the lying is unacceptable but would be good to figure out what the motivation was for him when sending those messages... sexual gratification doesn't seem to be top of the list. Hope you're okay.

confused how is the cramping?

mummy your BBT readings sound spot on for implantation! Need them to stay high now!! Maybe our next BFP?! :)

I'm off to my best friends today to help her put the finishing touches to her nursery! Will battle through some raging period pains whilst I do this.. seems bit unfair really but my time will come. Her baby is due next month which is exciting though and I'm so happy for her.

When are you going to test mummy? Sounds promising doesn't it! Xxx

Good on you parsnips, keep strong my l love xx

Jupiter that sounds lovely. Of course I'd be insanely jealous but at least you can let your friend do it first and then pick up lots of tips and practice for when it's your turn.
I keep borrowing my niece and nephews to practice on! 😁 it's fab!

Morning ladies. 4dpo and boobs are a bit sore but not enough to make me think it's a symptom. I had a beer (1.5 actually) last night and regret it, I think I'm going to stop drinking completely just in case this is the month. Yoga this morning then we're seeing friends later who have a 4 week old 👶🏼♥️

Hello lovelies well did a clear blue digital this morning and it says pregnant 1-2 weeks!! The only thing that worries me a bit is I think I'm 3 weeks but oh well.

Jupiter hope you have fun today just remember it will be your turn next.

Parsnips well done for staying strong lovely

Confused* I've got cramps too it's freaking me out I have to keep reassuring myself it's normal!

Could we have another who's testing when list? I'm rubbish at remembering!!

We're off out this weekend to look at venues wish me luck!

Tigger have fun wedding venue viewing- are you going for a date after baby is born? Or sooner?

Hi grumpy thinking next sept so if I'm due in October (fingers crossed bean sticks) then that'll give me some time to sort a dress and loose weight and the the lo will be a bit bigger too. We did think June next year before we found out but think that might be a bit too early!

That seems sensible. September is a lovely time 🍂

Tigger I got 1-2 weeks this morning as well!!! Its done by implantation btw and not from how actually pregnant you are... also they are notoriously bad for being unreliable date wise!

Thanks to everyone with their replies about the cramps... i'm tearing up at your kindness (having to get used to this)... i managed to get some proper sleep from about 11-8 which was nice but i think the hot water bottle helped... i'm not sure if your allowed that but the cramps were too much! I get really painful AF so yeah i guess they were on a par with that!... no bleeding or spotting from last night/this morning so i'm happy with that! DH was being lovely last night (i think he thought it was all going wrong)... i can't believe how well he has taken it! (God i'm going all mushy!)

I self-referred to the midwives yesterday after talking to my doctor... she told me to do it asap as they might want to scan me early due to neural tube defect risk... although being west london and absolutely rammed i'm not going to expect it and i dont mind waiting!

Tigger a September wedding is a beautiful time to get married!

Tigger and Dancing i'm so glad i have you here to keep me company and sane! I'm glad cramps are fine! I also don't think spicy food agrees with me anymore... is that normal?

Grumpy and Mummy all the babydust on mumsnet for you! (Jupiter i'm still hopeful for you!)

Yeah i'll own up! Parsnips i did this to me ex... he was acting like a bit of a cock about us moving in together and i happened to meet someone else in a group of friends... everyone fancied him... i was only like 19 and in very good shape! We clicked and got a bit flirty (i was the bullied shy kid at school so wasnt used to this attention!)... i thought nothing of it and then i needed to drop some money for some tickets to his house... he asked if i wanted a tea... i stupidly stayed... after the film we watched ended i went to leave... this is where everything went wrong he offered himself to me and i said no... as i opened the front door he tried to kiss me... i shrugged him off... he then proceeded to pick me up and chuck me onto the stairs forcing himself onto me... luckily enough the screams of stop and help were too much and i managed to fight away to leave... that taught me never to get flirty again!!!... but the getting carried away happens to all of us and 99% would say no and walk away if it was offered on a plate... i think your DH is one of those people...but it does not make it right! You need to talk to him without shouting and stuff I have learnt that sends my DH the other way and just makes him shout.. however when i tell him what an embarasment his behaviour is being... and how it tells everyone its like ive forced him to marry me... it seems to hit home harder... (luckily enough since last Sep i havn't had to use that again! Lol

Sorry if nothing makes sense here....

Fab that you got the clear blue 1-2weeks tigger and confused

seven in testing Monday at 10dpo as I won't be able to hold out longer

Also, just seeing you post your location confused... I always wonder where everyone is located. We could be almost neighbours 😮

I'm south London/Surrey borders

Mummy I'm also in SW London

I'm SE London!

I'm Essex

Wow a lot of us are really close... in my head everyone is really spread out

Today we can all be virtually in Dubai though! With all the moral support!

Congratulations Tigger! Such exciting news. Confused loved hearing about how you told your DH. I fantasise about that just as much as getting my BFP, I can't wait! Was it the first month of trying for both of you? I can't remember? If so, we have some super fertile people here!

I live in Sussex, crazy that so many of us are Southerners!

I'm in the north west (of the country...not London!) but yes Dancing virtually in Dubai today.

Enjoying a duvet day today on the couch! Pinning all things baby and crochet :) But my cat is being a dick and keeps winding me up on purpose because she wants second breakfast, or to be let out, or to be let in again, or to be let out again...

2nd month for me! Still can't quite believe it!!

Mummy we recently moved out to Burnham but i was born/grew up in hillingdon so thats where i've registered...

Its lovely to know the majority of us are so close!

Wiggley it was our first month not pulling out... i think DH was relieved his sperms worked! He said he had been so nervous that summin was wrong! Lol

Awhhh Seven I miss having a cat so much! They are so frustratingly cute!!

I wonder how Parsnips is doing today... although its 2.30 pm over there atm so her DH might be back...

parsnips I hope when you talk he is honest and you get some answers and can move forward in whatever way knowing all the facts!

My opk is a little darker this morning and have cm that's not quite EW yet but is getting there I think so will OPK this afternoon again and hopefully will be getting there! Of course ovia has me written off and in early leutal but I'm wise to her games by now! Have to pack today because heading off tomorrow, can't wait!!
