Last day off on hols today... crappy rainy weather and a BFN! Boo hoo. Still, today is only 10 days after I think I ov'd so still a few more days of a chance.

Feeling very gloomy now indeed after yesterday's xmas festivities.

Thanks whiteroses very well thanks. Scan went great today, so we're telling people now.

Good luck EVERYONE! [GRIN]

I got three - well chuffed!
Had a sofa snuggle day yesterday - defio the best thing about winter

How brilliant Curly - it must be so wonderful to see your little one before your eyes! How are you feeling generally? By the way, as one who knows, did you have many symptoms before your BFP?

Thanks whiteroses - I am trying to do just that now, and have just eaten half my advent calendar. oops.

Thanks honey, it was brilliant (pic on my profile)

I'm afraid I had no symptoms that stood out. I even started to bleed a few days before I thought AF was due, with all the cramps and everything. Had been irregular so just assumed it was AF. However, when I start I start IYSWIM. But this started then stopped, but I was left with really intense cramps. So after that, and when I got to when I had originally thought I was due on, I tested and got a BFP. It was faint on a cheap dip stick until weeks later, but clear blue confirmed it right away.

In hindsight, my immunity also dropped really quickly. I had a diahorea (Sp!) bug and skin infection (which I'm still fighting) the week I tested.

Otherwise I've been ok. No morning sickness, luckily, but I am utterly exhausted and permanently ravenous. And I have a really itchy belly and lower back - apparently down to hormones and blood flow in that region! Mustn't complain though, when I hear of how sick others are.

I really hope you all get to experience these joys for yourselves soon

Ooooh Curly!!! Just seen the picture. Woweee!! So exciting. Are you going to find out the sex? I never understand how people wait to find out. I have zero patience whatsoever! Whats IYSWIM?

Whiteroses - thanks for the guilt free excuses but if you only knew how much weight I had put on since our september wedding... yikes I am such a cliche.

was private, cost £75, lasted half hour - but well worth it. They did so much - even checked my ovaries. The gender thing is a long way off - so we'll see. I'm quite a control freak so perhaps the outcome is inevitable...

Wow Curly, how amazing is that!!

this was just so we knew all ok before Xmas - don't think budget will stretch to any more private scans!

whiteroses - 2 stone?? I can't actually face getting on the scales... which is funny considering I was weighing pre and post early morning wee leading up to the wedding. TMI I know...

Just popping in (typo'd there - just wrote 'pooping in' - glad I noticed!) to see what's doing... Curly! AMAZING scan pic it's beautiful! Well done! It made me smile and I've had such a busy day, I'm so knackered, still have to make something to eat, but I'm still smiling from seeing it, thanks for putting the picture on your profile.

I'll get some time to do a proper post soon. Feeling slightly AF-ish but nothing yet, this is my normal day for AF so will see what happens over the next few days. I've got a pack of cheap preg tests from Amazon so if nothing tomorrow I'll try one ooooooh!

Good luck to everyone who is testing too, better be off before I eat the keyboard xxx

Curly amazing scan picture. All the other scans I've seen from a similar stage just look like a fuzzy blob but yours is so clear - I bet it was really exciting to see your baby.

Not much to report from me. Have got some weird AF like cramps this morning (not due for at least another 5 days though) and gagged on my folic acid tablet. I think that's probably because it tastes horrible though! Temps have gone up again too and are now sky high. I am NOT reading anything into any of this though and have promised not to test until at least this time next week.

Might go out and buy a xmas tree and some decorations this week. I'm really not feeling in the xmas spirit at all-my brain can't cope with it being sunny at xmas-but maybe some putting up the tree will help get me in the mood.

Curly - that is so wonderful! Your picture made me well up! I think if I were in your position I'd so - no presents for anyone this year, im having a scan a week!

I can feel my body gearing up for AF and I just know, I just know it hasn't happened this month. DP says I'm being silly, I think he'e bing naive

• he's being....

Wow curly, the picture is amazing! I'm glad to hear everything is going so well for you. Congrats again!

Today was my first day back at work and it sure was busy. It seems that I am finished with the cramping (yay!!) as this is the second day with no pain but still have some bleeding. I went and did blood work last Thurs to make sure my hcg levels are dropping and got the results today. They actually went up. How strange is that! I am going back this Thurs for more blood work. I think they will decrease this time around. My temp dropped below coverline for the first time today so I am thinking the end is nearing. My doctor said since I haven't had any heavy bleeding and my hcg levels are still up, I probably haven't had the major loss yet. That scares me because last week was awful as far as the pain. I don't mind the bleeding so much but those cramps were intense at times. I guess we will see. I'm starting to feel better emotionally about it and accept it. DH has been a real champ through all of this and has taken great care of me.

I'm sorry that I don't have time to respond to everyone but lots of babydust to you all!

xoxo

There is no need for you to apologize sevans, you need to look after yourself at the moment It's good to hear from you and lovely that your DH has been looking after you so well. You sound amazingly strong, I really hope you don't have any more painful cramping. Take care x.

I too haven't been replying to posts directly very much, it's a very busy time of year for us work-wise, but I am reading through and posting when I can.

Take care all, whatever stage of TTC you are at

Hi all! I've been lurking silently for a bit but figured I'd quickly check in, if that's all right with everyone. Unlike lucky CurlyCasper with no MS, I've been sick as a dog! Really hoping it'll start easing off over the next few weeks.

I didn't realise you'd put the scan pic up, CurlyCasper! It is really clear, though I agree it does look a bit like a cute little jelly baby. Amazing to think that something so tiny will grow into a child, then eventually an adult! It must be such a relief to know everything is going fine and be able to finally let people know what's going on.

I have a private scan booked for next Thursday (17th), which I'm crossing my fingers will go as well.

I'm glad things seem to be calming down a bit for you, sevans. The temperatures getting more under control is probably a good sign. Hopefully the doctor is wrong and there isn't a major loss looming over the coming days.

How's everyone else doing? Anyone coming up on testing over the next few days? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some more BFPs before Christmas, and even more BFPs before the end of the year!

Morning,

Sevans Thanks for being so kind - especially as you are having a tough time. As spir says, I hope you are over the worst of it. And I also hope you will take advantage of the fertility surge people keep talking about. Look after yourself.

Claire Don't work yourself into the ground! But, then again, It's good that you are busy and business is booming. You must get seriously partied out at this time of year! x
