Hi peeps :)

I’ll hyperlink this to our old thread so we can continue bitching about crystal82 😂

I can’t believe we’ve almost got to 1000 posts. I didn’t even know that was a thing - thank you @kittykatsmile because I had no idea it would just max out and I can NOT go on without you all. That’s not even an option.

I'm constantly checking for a @Cauliflower82 shapes update!!

@KittyKatSmile see there's a benefit to being fat and having to wear baggy clothes. I just continue to 😂

Welshpugmomma · 11/07/2019 15:20

Also waiting patiently for caulis update 😆

I would love to shift half a stone, I know it's like the least of the worries but boy I would feel so much more comfy... Just gonna try easy a nice balanced diet and see, little bit bloated to join in...

Omg I took a look at the gender reveal thread. BRUTAL. I don't think I need those boards in my life after reading that!

KittyKatSmile · 11/07/2019 15:25

@Welshpugmomma they're so mean aren't they?!

How much of a boozer were you beforehand? That's likely to shift some weight! As would morning sickness I guess but one of my 93 drugs apparently masks that so...

Ginandtonic31 · 11/07/2019 15:28

Where is this gender reveal? I'm so scared to read it in case it undoes the work of my positive therapy yesterday 😂

KittyKatSmile · 11/07/2019 15:35

@Ginandtonic31 don't read it! The best bit was the bit I copied. Don't undo all your hard work. Don't pick the scab!

Ginandtonic31 · 11/07/2019 15:39

Will it tell me to leave my husband?

Ginandtonic31 · 11/07/2019 15:40

Ooo I think it has been deleted. Was it about a cake?

KittyKatSmile · 11/07/2019 15:44

Oh yes, I think it's gone!! I might instead move onto 'plug - pic attached'. Although I have just eaten a chocolate mousse, so maybe not....

Ginandtonic31 · 11/07/2019 15:58

Argh I ventured out and read stupid posts. I need to stay in here.

Mrbay · 11/07/2019 16:03

@KittyKatSmile - Thanks, I finally stood up for myself!

I'm glad I'm not the only one of tender hooks. I hoping the delay is because she's doing an American style revel of the positive test.

@Welshpugmomma - half a stone will shift easily. I am currently at my heaviest/highest body fat %, I feel disgusting but I just cannot stop shovelling shit down my throat!
I am going to see if some good bacteria supplements will help me revert back to my normal size.
If I don't get to the next stage/s, my plan will be to join the gym and sort out my diet. I am sick of being so unfit and soft!

@Ginandtonic31 - I hate the knee jerk reaction of this site, do 90% of the posters on here have a good chunk of cash in the bank so that can just up and leave each time their DH/DP pees in the shower/leaves a wet towel/farts in their direction/tells they are fat/doesnt tell them they are fat/does normal DP stuff

Zest11 · 11/07/2019 16:06

@AliciaWhiskers haha milk it for all you can!!

@KittyKatSmile I'm so glad you have moved on to 3+ that's perfect. Urmmm..you know you said you could message me your back story? Urmm are you able to send me a few details? I'm kinda tempted to,get some steroids and try "naturally" this month as I haven't got anything to lose and stuck in limbo really as I have to wait until my next actual period to do anything proper.

I can't remember who it was that asked about being really hungry. When I had my one and only (very short term!) pregnancy I remember being ravenous (not even a bit hungry!) in the week leading up to my bfp so take that as a positive sign!

Ginandtonic31 · 11/07/2019 16:07

@Mrbay my mum tells me it's all bullshit in here and it's sad people trying to make other people's life hell 😂 they all say start snaffling money away and passports and things so you can get ready to leave when you have to!

KittyKatSmile · 11/07/2019 16:38

This DH chat makes me laugh. I could definitely go in and stoke a few fires . Maybe I could make up a DH that I left and be all Aretha Franklin about it (partly true. All of my losses were with my very DP who I've since broken up with. I didn't kick him to the curb, I love(d) him very much).

@Zest11 I certainly will my lovely, warts and all. There will be no plug photos. It will be later on once I get home. Have spent the morning in Leeds. Slept all the way on the flight. Just got back. Slept all the way on the train. Now going to spin class and then the theatre. Let's hope work don't notice I haven't done anything all day Grin

AliciaWhiskers · 11/07/2019 17:03

@KittyKatSmile, sure, I’ll pimp him out for some ironing. He’s pretty good at ironing bedding (initially wrote “he’s quite good at bedding”, but I’m not pimping him out for that!!).

Having quite a bit of cramping today. Assuming that’s just little one getting all snuggled in.

AliciaWhiskers · 11/07/2019 17:05

@Zest11 it’s me who is hungry all the time. I’ll blame pregnancy, even though I’m only 2dp5dt, so pretty sure nothing would happen that quickly!!

Cauliflower82 · 11/07/2019 17:34

I’M PREGNANT!!!!

It hasn’t properly sunk in yet - we’re both so incredibly happy and feel so lucky right now, so lucky.

Thank you everyone for all of your well wishes.

I must catch up properly on the forum later and find out how everyone is doing.

Thank you xxxx 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@Cauliflower82 CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so excited for you!! Oooooh that's so great! :)

Zest11 · 11/07/2019 17:53

Congratulations Cauliflower!! That's brilliant, well done!! I hope your husband is taking you out somewhere nice to celebrate! Xxxxx

Ginandtonic31 · 11/07/2019 18:14

Yay!! See @Cauliflower82 those 7 day twinges are a good sign!!

Welshpugmomma · 11/07/2019 18:37

Yayyy cauli! X

KittyKatSmile · 11/07/2019 18:49

@Cauliflower82 HOLY FUCK! I have been on tenterhooks all day and my battery is 4%!

This is the most amazing news ever. Have actually just shed a little tear on the tube for you.

Well done Pip xx

Mrbay · 11/07/2019 21:05

Yay!!!!

Cauliflower82 · 11/07/2019 21:07

@Mrbay yay that’s excellent news.

@Welshpugmomma I’m loving the pregnancy announcement to your husband too.

@Zest11 I’ve been thinking about you lots over the last couple of days. I hope you’re doing okay. Your four in the freezer are going to be waiting for you, they will be.

Thank you to everyone for your congratulations :) and I hadn’t realised you were all on such tenterhooks. I was a bit worked up yesterday so didn’t post anything - the cramps making me worry.

Mrbay · 12/07/2019 08:17

I'm so happy for you @califlower82, I think it was your perfect injection technique that did it and the chats to Pip.

This morning I was thinking about how far we've all come. Personally, if this doesn't work, I don't mind because at I know that our DNA does combine and that's the furthest it's ever been.

I now know how you all must have felt at each stage, the wait is a killer.

CornishMaid1 · 12/07/2019 09:30

@Cauliflower82 That is wonderful news. Told you not to worry about the cramps - they are just sent to fox us. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
