Hi everyone,
Been a while since I last posted so just trying to have a quick catch up and see what I've missed.
Yorkshire - glad to know the nurse was more careful with her labelling this time round... And is that you halfway through your 2ww for results now? Cause that'll be better this month, won't it? BDing, results to say all's well, then BFP - broken up very nicely!
Bunny - you never know with those timings... The month I got my timings all
"wrong" was the month I got my BFP! And as for the boob-jiggling - I'm currently 8wks pregnant and my boobs are exactly the same size/shape/colour as they always were, with no extra sensitivity/pain/anything. So go figure!
How lovely that your friend is pregnant though. Great to go through it all together! I keep looking at my friends and wondering if any of them might be pregnant. I don't think it's at all likely but I'm waiting till 12wks - how good would it be if they were too? (Soooo unlikely! )
Zippys - sorry to hear about AF. See the scan you're getting though, are you able to get that if you're pregnant? I know some scans are harmful. Maybe you'll find it's all working out like this for the beest? (Clutching at straws, trying to make you feel better... ) God, I don't know how you've been coping with the sickness though... That's me had morning sickness for two weeks now and I can't bear it. ...Still catching up and have just read about your scan being early this week. Well, this is Tuesday, so I take it you've had it or are having it... I really hope to see you on here soon, letting us know it's all been something really daft and that they've already sorted it. Will be thinking of you anyway. x
Claire - sorry to hear you were feeling down. But glad to hear you're feeling better now.
Calyx and Seablue - sorry to hear about AF. Cycles 9 and 11 now though so here's hoping! xx
Mumnerves - sorry to hear about you feeling so low too. But I hope you have a wonderful holiday and, you never know, being able to relax might just make the difference. x
Hairy - good news about the results.
Hermya - congratulations on passing your tests! It's so nice to hear that this thread is such a support for others too. Don't know where I'd have been without it! (Thank you everyone! )
Hi Sunny - what a good attitude.
So, Bunny - when do you plan to test?
Kaloki - how could you get annoyed with any of us?! We're perfect! (Glad to hear it though - lol!)
Chance - pffft! Amateur! Lol! I did five tests - six if you count the doctor's! Agree though, it IS an expensive habit... Think I've managed to kick it now.
Aly - I know where you're coming from with your friend. Before we started TTC, I was a bit jealous of my friend, whose boyfriend had gotten her pregnant accidently. However, now, I wouldn't trade places with her for the world. Whereas DH and I are married, own our own home, and are financially secure, with our baby on the way, she and her now fiance live with her parents. She's always complaining that they never get any time together, sharing a room with the baby and with a paper-thin wall between themselves and her parents at all times. Her and her fiance are also working silly hours, trying to save for a deposit on a place of their own, and she says some days, neither of them sees their baby for more than about an hour in the evening. Also, although they both want to get married, it'll either be years before they can, or they'll have to make a lot of sacrifices in terms of what they want... Anyway, I don't think she'd trade places with me either, but it just goes to show, doesn't it? Things always seem to work out the way they do for a reason.
Muser - I'm so sorry to hear your news. How awful. If it's any consolation though, my mum had two miscarriages before having all of us, with no problems whatsoever. There was never an explanation - just "one of those things". As you say, fingers crossed for third time lucky and meantime, I hope you're okay. x
Bella - welcome.
Kaloki - when are you going to test? Were you still thinking of going to the doctor about your irregular cycles?
Calyx - don't worry too much about the EWCM. I don't think it can be THAT big a deal. I've never had very much at all.
Ugh, Aly - just read about your friend drinking. Trying to think of an upside... I guess that you'll know, when you have your baby, that you've done everything right and have given it the best possible start that you could. Mind you, DH and I went all over the top and super-healthy for several months before even starting to TTC. Now that I'm pregnant, it's all gone out of the window. Snacking on crips and biscuits throughout the day (it's about all I can keep down) and drinking lots of Lucozade every time I throw up (recommendation from midwife to keep me from being hospitalized again). Anyway, dunno what my point is... Think I got side-tracked into going on about what a failure I am! But yeh, you'll know you've done your best - that should be a comfort.
Chalky - sorry to hear about your frustration. Joining the gym sounds like a positive step forwards though. x
Homebound - fingers crossed! It certainly all sounds very promising! When will you test again?
Fudge - lol! One time when we were BDing, DH actually had to ask me if I was awake! I was - just! Ahh, the romance!
Hermya - everything sounds so promising! Can't believe you're waiting till the end of the week to test... I REALLY admire that willpower! I couldn't do it!
Seablue - sorry, I have no idea why they say every second day. But I wouldn't stress about it too much. As long as you're doing it when you can and not worrying if you can help it...
This is loooong... But I've been missing for ages!
