    Thanks again Emsbet. And Mr Praline is thanking you too as he was wondering why I was bawling.

    I'm a bit relieved actually - if today is day 28 to midnight tonight I can expect AF later. Somehow, hoping for it (AF) just feels better. More..... controlled.

    I'm going to B&Q now to get a part for the house. effing and blinding over some DIY (I do it) will occupy me.

    I'll let you all know tomorrow... or later if I can either way.

    hey Praline! Our bodies throw us a curve ball every now and then, we're not robots :o. It's natural to be scared, having a baby is a big life change no matter how much it's wanted and planned. You'll be brilliant no matter what the outcome. xxx

    It's perfectly normal to be scared. When I got my BFP I was sh*tting myself waiting for the test! I was shaking like a leaf

    It's a normal reaction because until it happens no matter how much you want it it is still a very abstract concept.

    I can imagine that actually. I think I would feel incredibly shocked too... and I've not even been trying as long or going through as many procedures to get to this point.:o DH was talking about a job promotion he's thinking of going for, which would increase our income, by a good old whack, the other day...discussing what we could do with the money... and I said "or have IVF....y'know, if we needed it". I'm already mentally preparing for looking into adoption (although even if we had biological children it's something we'd like to consider), in a way. Then again, I've always worried that it's something I'd struggle to "naturally pull off" :o

    Either way, I hope you get a "shock" soon.;)


    I quite like the idea of adoption too, there are so many children out there who need a mum and dad. hope you're feeling better bz xx

    Oh enjoy the meze.... We go to Greece/Cyprus every year (bar this one :() and the food is definitely the highlight of my holidays :o) Enjoy Emsbet! (Is the restaurant in London?)

    Still waiting. Back from B&Q (not a BBQ unfortunately :o( ). But I need to go back tomorrow for a screwdriver as mine are all too big.

    still no movement. Now got a stress headache. Calmer though.... And still cramping. To be honest - I think AF will be here later as the cramping is fairly strong.

    Thank you all for your support during my meltdown earlier.... I was online while stressing hence my posting and stressing at the same time.

    I have tested this morning. BFN. Still spotting. Have period type cramps come on today. Coming on and off. No sign yet. Again another thing I don't normally get. I normally get period pain on the day it comes and not before. Another couple of days til I test again if it hasn't come...
