That leaves you 1 week lol. I am 11+2 and have my scan next week! :eek:

Well maybe I won't be there in a week. Hope all goes well at the scan - have you told people yet?

I'm just having a laugh at mrhappy, I was putting info into FF on my phone when he asked if I was looking at his "jiggy chart" Obviously temps, ov and AF aren't important bit of this-he has been looking back and counting how often we BD and seems to be rather proud of himself :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

You've got to love 'em!

I'm sure my OH thinks he's doing his bit for queen & country when we BD around ov!

well have put the tissues back as didn't need them for OBEM. Spent most of the program explaining forcep births to OH as he hadn't got a clue, I think he thinks that you just roll up to hospital and out pops a baby 5 minutes later.

Ok that was maybe a little over exageration.

Oh poor you tinks. It is horrible when they are in hospital, particularly if it is something scary like not being able to breathe properly! Hope she is OK now. How old is DD?

Glad the news is good Maire. Welcome back to the mad house!

AFM - 1dpo and am concentrating on my new healthy eating and fitness plan. Have been to the gym this morning, so strongly suspect I will not be able to lift my arms to type by this evening! I realised I hadn't worked out in the gym since I lost the baby in September (the last time I was there was for a fitness assessment when I was 5+1, and I miscarried a few days later) though I had been doing pilates with my trainer consistently since then. I was sooo unfit and found my plan quite hard to get through! But I guess if you don't get the good "burn" you aren't actually doing yourself any good. I must be carrying a lot of water retention too, because I started my healthy eating plan yesterday with a weigh in, and just for fun weighed again this morning, and had dropped 3lbs! Not of fat obviously, but bloat perhaps

I am contemplating booking a reflexology massage for 2 weeks time, on the basis if I get a BFP I will cancel it, and if not, I will be right at the start of my cycle and could see whether some reflexology sessions throughout the whole cycle make a difference. Has anyone else tried this for anything?

I had reflexology the last two cycles, both before ov and after, but no joy yet. Giving it a miss I think this month as it ain't cheap, but then I think, you can't put a price on getting a baby, and we can afford it really, but who knows what good it does!

:rotfl:When my niece was born I asked my brother how it was for him-he was totally traumatised by it all and quite upset, I don't know what he thought it was going to be like!

Today my fridge freezer arrived however I measured the door but not the doorway which meant it didn't fit in the flat we ended up having to go through a window. But I now have a freezer with ice-cream already in it

I did that too, got in the door fine, but the slot in the kitchen, I'd measured cabinet to wall, fine ... not taking into account the skirting board. So had to pull the skirting board out before the fridge freezer would fit. Ach well, you can't see it!

When I had my son, after a VERY long and difficult labour, my ex husband said "that wasn't too bad was it?" :eek: I was not impressed (understatement of the century!) :rotfl:

Athina - I'm going to stick my neck out and say I don't think you had a chemical pregnancy. Early Pg symptoms are so similar to pre-AF symptoms that as you came on at 15dpo, which would be on time for AF, I think you just had a funny AF.

I think we become much more aware of what our bodies are doing when TTC, so things you might not have taken any notice of before, you now notice and think 'ooh does that mean I am PG?'.

But equally, if you feel you had a chemical pregnancy, then take time to grieve and have some hugs.

I had a quick and relatively easy natural labour at home, and the overriding memory of it is my OH cowering in the corner of the living room with his hands over his ears as I screamed on the final push! :rotfl:I had been quiet for all the rest of it though, so he only had to suffer the once!

Only close family. Parents, my nan and sister. Mainly because they were at ours for christmas and I was so sickly it was obvious so they would find out. But no one else yet as it's not been an easy ride. We had bright red bleeding at 7 weeks and had to have a scan. Ruddy mad seeing the heartbeat so early! Scared me to death. I bleed after too but not scanned since so i'm scared for next week to make sure all is ok. It might not be who knows.

Oh I hope it is. I know how scary it is waiting for the scan. If you still feel sick then that is a good sign. :A
