Oh dear yellow, I think that it might be time to close down your computer and go and make a nice cup of tea (or GFJ) .

Hi girls,

Sorry I've not popped in for a while, but am away in America and have had a very intense conference...
The conference finished yesterday, so I'm now officially free to do a bit of touristing.

It's only 7AM here, so I'll have to catch up on what's been going on with you guys a bit later once my head has properly woken up, but I just had to log on as today is D-Day for me.

I actually had a strange dream that I watched two of my friends POAS and get a BFP. As I was hugging one of them, I thought to myself "three's a lucky number" and actually woke myself up! I checked the time (FMU and all that...) and went to POAS. Well, more like pee in a cup, dip a stick...

Came back to my room, put the stick next to my bed and tried really hard to stay awake for the five minutes it takes... as I turned over to look at it, I was totally expecting it to be a blank one, so just took a quick glance to confirm it.... but wait... there was a line.
I thought I was seeing things (I'm not a morning person) so I turned on the lights and shook my head to wake myself up, and it's still there. It's not quite as strong as the control line, but it's very clear.

It doesn't feel real. I called DH to tell him, but I've told him to wait with the happy dance til I get home, as I want to wait it out for a few days.

I can't say I "feel pregnant", and have actually been living completely normally this last week and a half, including having a few glasses of wine and eating clam chowder... (which I now regret...) I also did a test on Monday, but that was negative. What I did notice though was that my hair isn't falling out as it normally does when I wash it, and even stranger, I usually wash my hair every day, but yesterday morning I didn't as it really didn't need it. Boobs are a bit swollen (I was blaming the bra) but other than that I feel fine.

I've also just remembered my strange stichy feelings by my bellybutton - Jools, I think it was you that said it could be implantation, and it now looks as if it was!

Right, I'm off to... I don't even know. Get my head around this all.... just wanted to share the news with you, as you've been so fantastic! I hope this one is a sticky one.

From the home of the free and the land of the brave,

Broodzilla (and a BFP!!! )

Welcome back Lovelymonster. Sorry to hear that the February effort hasn't borne a bean. I think 2 years is long enough to justify some testing.

Jools - I think some time out might be a really constructive thing. It seems a bit crazy if you are having communication issues to be ttc as well. I think we all know the immenses strain that ttc can place on a relationship so maybe its worth focusing on that and some weight loss if thats what you want.

Queenie - you speak wise words on post mc feelings. I am so keen to get cracking now its ridiculous! I am going to have to try hard not to become obsessive. I do so hope that you get your BFP this month.

Funtime - sorry to hear your dh is going to be away at crucial times over next few months. I very much hope March is your month. I do know that its not nice to feel like you're really on the clock though. I guess all you can do is try to have oodles of sex at roughly the right time.

Yellow - whats going on here? Digging tests out of bins after an hour isn't a good route to go down. They will almost always show positive after that time because of evaporation. Please don't do this to yourself. I hope the acupuncture appt goes well. Wll be interested to hear what he says about the extra spotting! If you temp is still high that does bode well though. Why don't you try to wait until the weekend then do a digital?

Nothing to report her obviously as AF is here. No idea how long it'll go on for - my reading has warned me to prepare for first post mc period being a bit wierd. It bloody hurt more thats for sure - my eyes were starting to water last night although it seems to have calmed down now thank god.

Broodzilla thats just fantastic news!! Yay!

And don't worry about the wine and clam chowder - takes more than that to put off a determined bean!

I bet you can't wait to see your DH x

Wooooohooooooooooooooo broozilla - I am so very pleased. Well done you. And I ate bloody steak this week on basis that sod's law would mean bfp (it didn't alas) so am sure clam chowder would be fine.

wasabi - not diggin out of bin, I promise. It was on my bedside table because I was dozing.
Hope you af pains not too bad.

Will report back tonight or tomorrow re acupunture.

xx

ps I know that website is a bit much - but I bet you all check it out. ha!

Thank heavens for that Broodzilla, I was beginning to think that we'd never get another BFP! Congratulations and pass some of the left-over clam chowder my way please !

That's amazing news Broodzilla

FAB, FAB news Broodzilla - has cheered me up no end

am having a grumpy and sad afternoon because someone I know who is not fit to be a mother is going on and on and on and on about her first scan (at ten weeks) and showing off the pics

broodzilla - AMAZING NEWS!!! Huge congratulations to you. (and how strange about your dream).

Lots of love to you, xxx

Hi all,

Broodzilla = what amazing news - I have been feeling so rubbish so its so good to hear something lovely and positive. Well done you (and DH of course!)

Congratulations Broodzilla. What wonderful news for you. I bet you cant wait to be home to celebrate with DP. Dont worry about clam chowder. All seafood is safe to eat in pregnancy as long as it is cooked piping hot just before eating.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome back. What a strange thing this TTc is!

Jules - I remember you mentioning before how you were trying to lose weight. Feel free to ignore me but what is your bmi? I hope you dont think im a rude, cheeky wench for asking, is just I know I could do with losing some weight too. Have recently sucessfully stopped smoking (this time for good) so have gone easy on myself for a while. Thankfully have not put on any weight whilst doing this but might start thinking about it. Im going to go and google cambridge diet........

I don't mind you asking at all

BMI is 34 at the mo I AM very fit though - usually around 7 gym classes per week, so I'm guessing an adjusted figure may be a little lower - still too high though.

The weightwatchers web site suggests that I am 3.5 stone away from my ideal weight - I find that difficult to believe but would certainly like to lose 2 stone

congrats to all with bfp. i tested yesterday and got a bfn. its still realy early tho- im not going to test now till prob this time next week if af dont get me!!!
also i dnt even if i ovulated this month, waiting for hospital getting back to me

Cambridge Diet

Thanks Jools. Cambridge diet looks a little full on for me!

My BMI is 33 but unlike you i am not that active! I have been smokefree for two months now (since new year) and have much more energy so hopefully exercise will improve. I have joined the gym but find it very difficult to go on any day other than my days off. I suppose thats better than nothing!

Hi eveyone.

Actually I didn't like the acupuncture yesterday at all (though had liked it before) - don't think I'll go again. Yesterday I just came away with strong feeling it is all cod science and snake oil and that it does nothing.

Still spotting a little bit but not much. Keep waiting for it to become AF. Temp still about .2 degrees higher than it is when AF arrives. Confused but will have to wait. Burst into tears this morning for no reason at all and dh totally confused too and a bit miffed because he was already running late for work.

Lovely monster - I hate the gym - but I started doing a Box Fit class twice a week in July last year - has made loads of difference - plus my BMI has gone from 26 to 24

Yellow - I know you are trying not to get your hopes up, but crying over nothing is a great sign, as is a higher temp.

The key sign for me was that I could have a shower and not end up with my long hair falling out - I only weakened and tested when I noticed that one

I was up before 7am to strip beds, as my new mattress is due between 7am and 2pm - of course it isn't here yet and I wanna go back to bed !!

Yellow - I think its time to dig out that digital test. Maybe tomorrow morning with FMU? If you are actualy due tomorrow then you should get a bfp if you are pg.

Oooh while I was typing that my Liz Earle goodies I ordered the other day turned up.

oooh jools, new mattress! def need to test that out tonight

I have really thick hair too but it is still falling out in shower! In fact just ran hands through it to check while it is dry and at least 3 came away in hand. Am pretty sure not pregnant as FF gives me 5 pts on it's Are-you- pregnant-ometer out of 100!

yellow are you going to do a test?
