I'm from the North East

Still no positive OPK here and no sign of ewcm so I dunno what's going on will OPK in the morning before heading off I guess!

I spoke too soon, just got my positive! So will dtd tonight and tomorrow and hopefully the Portuguese will give me luck 🍀

Hi all sorry I've been crap! Been at a kids party all day which was absolute chaos and would put anyone off kids but i was loving it! Can't wait for it to be my own!

So weird I was just thinking the other day how I'd love to meet you all and even better if we could with babies!! hb! I'm in Leighton Buzzard so just up the road From you! And also 30 mins from London :)

OMG buzz just in a taxi on our way back from LB! Went to our friends for dinner!

Yay mrsC good luck with the DTD!

How are you doing parsnips?

I'm very fed up and grumpy this morning despite almost 12 hours sleep (is excessive sleeping a symptom lol).. boobs also sore!

DH is annoying me because HE LEAVES HIS STUFF EVERYWHERE and in a small flat with 1 room out of action it's intolerable! Like taking his size 12 shoes off in every single room except the hallway. Never hanging his jackets up. Trousers on the bedroom floor. I thought it was because we don't have enough space but I am beginning to suspect he is just A Messy Person!! And he buys pointless junk and does nothing with it! I love him dearly but

Oh grumpy sorry to hear you are grumpy! I know how you feel. I've had to give up on his half of the bedroom because I was just sick of picking up after him! Yesterday morning I got up early and deep cleaned the kitchen. Went for my shower and came down and it was like I'd never done anything after he'd had is breakfast fuming! But then he was such a babe at the kids party with all the little ones my heart melted and I forgot about what a pig he is 😂

hb that's so weird! I might bump into you and not even know!

parsnips ❤️

Sorry you're feeling grumpy grumpy.. ditto on having an untidy DH. Spend my life moving his stuff into the correct places. Was raging a bit this morning internally but then overheard a conversation between him and the cat (cat: meeeooooowww, DH: yes you're right, you do have the furriest trousers!) which melted me.

Happy Sunday :)

Oh jupiter that's the ABSOLUTE cutest cat conversation! It's melted me too!!

I feel like I'm on a different planet today. Just keep dwelling on everything swimming round my head. Feel very distracted. I hate when anything like this happens as it just brings up awful memories for me and I find it really hard to shake them. I have an almost photographic memory so I remember things in vivid detail and it takes me a really long time to move on from stuff. (It's great when it's good memories because I can recollect all the detail but not so great when you'd rather not remember it). This is also why I always catch people out as I remember everything! I know I probably seem melodramatic over a couple of jokey messages but it's more what it has reminded me of.

Anyway DH very remorseful and acknowledged that he doesn't want to jeopardize our relationship and future for the sake of a few minutes ego boost. He says he's is really sorry. But then he would do wouldn't he!

When he was out yesterday he drove passed one of the big maternity units and he said it hit him that he will be taking the same journey from there with me and a baby in the not too distant future and he knows how important that is. I told him we need to think and act more like a team. Anyway let's see! Could really do without being buried in a million handbook reviews today! Stupid UAE working week!!

Loved the cat story! Small victory but our dog stuck to me like glue all weekend and DH said he was surprised she wouldn't go near him - I said dogs, like wives, value loyalty!!

parsnips you don't sound remotely melodramatic! It isn't just some jokey messages but what it represents and how it brings back anxieties from the past. On the positive side though it does sound like he is listening to you and is acknowledging the enormity of it - that puts him way ahead of a lot of men who would deny it was a problem or even turn it round onto you. Your dog sounds ace, glad you have him by your side

Hb glad you enjoyed, DH and our cat have a very close relationship. I sometimes get a look in. Just realised you get your zika results in a couple of days! That's so exciting. Did you say you're due your fertile week in early March? Bet you can't wait to crack on :)

Jupiter that is sooo cute!

Parsnips I've been there, it's not nice. Take care of yourself and try to concentrate on work for now?

Symptom spotting like a mad person at 5dpo.. argh! Thrush a possible sign apparently but then so is everything! Bored bored bored / terribly anxious that it might have actually worked...

Mummy you are testing tomorrow right?!!!

Grumpy the waiting is horrible! Hoping the time passes quickly for you. Have you got anything planned to help take your mind off things?

Hope the day is passing for you parsnips! 💐

grumpy yes testing tomorrow! Although not getting my hopes up, it's still early days. I'm a manic symptom spotter.. I google everything. Seemingly everything is a symptom!

Mummyme masses of luck being sent for tomorrow!! Very excited for you. Good luck! Don't panic if BFN though as think confused got a BFN on 10dpo and then went onto her BFP at 12dpo. Hopefully they were implantation cramps you felt on 6dpo though...Fingers crossed.

Grumpy it's a nightmare the 2ww. All those feelings are so normal. Have you got a test date in mind for this week?

Fingers crossed for tomorrow mummy!!

Thanks guys just a normal week for me nothing exciting. Today I'm just trying to get the house clean & tidy, declutter as much as possible etc.

I want to wait until 28th feb to test (14dpo) but think I'll end up doing 10dpo as well which is this coming Friday (24th).

Eeeeeek jupiter our blood tests are on wednesday! Results up to 10 days, but often the next day! Doesnt really matter how long the results take because fertile week starts 10 days after the test so nothing will be lost! In my head we're all healthy and good to go! Literally cant wait!! Have drunk a bucket load of prosecco this weekend to get it out of my system!

Fingers crossed for testing mummy

Very pleased to hear the dog is Team Parsnip !!

Hi all hope you've had a lovely Sunday. 3 venues viewed and I think all are nos!

In other news I feel a bit like I've been run over by a steam roller, completely exhausted, funny taste in my mouth, cramps, dizzy and headaches the whole 9 yards! Oh and rolling nausea joy!

I still can't believe that I am actually pregnant and I still can't stop worrying that something is going to go wrong. Booking gp appointment tomorrow I'm hoping that'll help!

Oh I forgot the gas and bloating!!

Sorry about the lack of luck with venues Tigger! That bit took us ages!! Felt like we viewed a million. Hopefully the next one will be the one!

Sorry all the symptoms are already hitting you. I've barely been off the sofa today. 😴

Hey ladies sorry i have been away today spent most of the day in various hospitals this side of london... i'm having contractions which apparently can be really normal... or a sign that its ectopic...

I've been given Codine to dose myself up on and i'm goin back tomorrow for a scan and then tuesday to see if HCG is going up..

Currently i just feel really sorry for myself

Oh no confused that must be so stressful, I really hope it all turns out ok! Look after yourself! Big hugs x

confused hand hold! Really hope everything is okay can I'm sure it will be ❤️ From tigger too sounds like it does not get any easier when you get the bfp!
