    My Mum knows we want to have children soon but when we went over for dinner on Sunday and I was drinking wine (I was on AF then) she said should you be drinking that if you are trying to conceive so must have realised we were already actively trying (which I then got told off for when we got home because the OH worries it will be pressure on us - but she wouldn't do that). My friend from work knows and my brother and his partner know because they asked the other day and I am completely useless at lying, I just go beetroot lol! We did want to keep it quiet but I get a bit over excited

    There are some people who you can never be sick around.

    I was on a work trip in Belgium once, single, and came down ill during the dinner event. One of the Partner's walks past and asks 'Oohh, are you pregnant?'. No I'm not you ****!

    Lol, appropriate line of questioning! I think it is the assumption made if you get sick and you're female and over the age of about 18 though. Annoyingly.

    :rotfl::rotfl:that told here!

    :rotfl:I know, but he's in his 50's by now, he should know better than to ask his employees questions like that!

    Crikey! Since when has throwing up automatically equalled pregnant? Did he think that women are only sick when they're pregnant????

    Plus, you know, I was feeling rough as hell, so wasn't in the mood to be sensitive. Luckily for me, I had two amazing female colleagues who arranged a taxi back to the hotel for me, and looked after me for the whole of the next day too! :D

    I work in an all male environment and seriously, they take SS to a whole new level!!! QQ would have a field day with her finger wagging smiley at them!! Anything i say or do is twisted round to me being PG!!! Trouble is, when I am they will no doubt spot the symptoms and I'm also a rubbish lyer and go bright red so will probably give myself away!!

    I was late into work one morning as I had to have a blood test and when I got in I was asked outright if I was pregnant. I was also asked in an email.

    Maybe just starting saying 'Yes, I am!' now, each time they ask and then eventually let on that you were winding them up.

    That way, even if they continue you to ask, and then ask when you actually are, you can pull off the 'Yes, I am!', and they'll actually think you're not!

    Still watching you GOPPERS!!!!!!!!!! Fingers crossed for tomorrow! I dont know how you can wait, i was a nightmare the month i got my BFP, testing from the day before AF was due, only had faint lines, so carried on testing morning and evening every day until it finally showed up on a clearblue saying "pregnant" after 6 days! I didnt feel anything that month though, neither like AF was on its was or like i was pregnant. I felt sick from the day AF was due, but i also went down with a chest infection that week so thought that was why i felt rough!!
    Anway, i`m waffling on, hope everyone is well? Hugs to those the witch got :( xx And good luck to those testing soon! xx

    In a weird place emotionally again today. Last month hubby insisted he wanted to have rumpy every day if he was going to do it. And we had to compromise on every other day. And this month he doesn't want any at all! Tried last month and he just went ot sleep. Wouldn't go for it if I woke him. Where as he always says oh just wake me up and i'll always be up for it. And tried this morning - failed and I said I thought he wanted it in the morning and he he said not before work. We only have tonight and in the morning left as he is going away. Sigh ... I am on the verge of giving up already ... and it's only month 2.

    WooooooW I feel like there are a pair of virtual eyes following me around everywhere I go!!

    I wanted to test this morning but didn't want any disappointment, much rather af turned up instead if i've not caught...

    I'll be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow, believe you me!

    Hope you are keeping well xx

    Rebekah honey, calm down. None of this stressing is going to do any good.

    He's probably feeling under pressure, so why not make tonight a nice evening for you two. Have a nice meal ready, a film/TV show he loves, and have lots of hugs and kisses with no pressure for anything else. No mention of BD'ing or TTC. He'll probably be all over like a rash then!
