Hello,

Nothing happens here. FF marked my Day 17 as OV day even if my last 3 temps were taken a little bit earlier (I think I was stressed last couple of days) .

I've started wearing the eye mask again just to finish off the lunaception test.

Do you exercise during 2WW? Just not sure if I should carry on as normal (have something to drink, exercise etc)

I just carry on as normal during the 2ww - generally now that I am ttc I try to apply the 'in moderation' principle but I do that throughout the cycle - I have cut down to just one caffeinated drink per day, trying not to drink too much alcohol etc. For me it's important to carry on with life as normal otherwise I get too obsessed with ttc! But it's different for everybody, and I think best to do what's right for you

Apparently the 2ww is too early for a baby to be getting nutrients from your blood stream yet (please somebody correct me if I'm wrong).

(That said about the moderation.... there's nothing like a large glass of wine and far too much chocolate to dull the pain of CD1 each month :rotfl:)

Read about the relaxed approach - then did my 80 mile drive to BD!

Still no positive opk.

Woooaaaahhh, don't do that to yourself. Don't add even more pressure on yourself to get a BFP. This process is hard enough as it is without thinking things like that. You need to be kind to yourself.

Anyway, whilst I'm sure a BFP would indeed put a smile on your MIL's face if she's suffering from depression she's still likely to feel bad after. Unfortunately it's one of those things that you can't make better.

I hope that didn't come across the wrong way but I just think you have enough on your plate at the moment and I don't like seeing you beat yourself up about something which you rightly said you can't control.

EDIT: Ok, colli and Teamlowe already said it too so hopefully you get that we're not being mean.

Taken as meant, FA, no worries (Thanks to all you guys, btw)

PS do you have VIP FF? That's the WORST for ss, I'm surprised QQ lets us have it :cool:

:rotfl: I've thought that before, but also restrict myself to logging the top 3 symptoms, so you have narrow it down to the most relevant

Thanks Mrsj28! Do you exercise at all during 2ww? I'm doing cardio twice a week but I've stopped as I'm not sure if it's OK or not...

Aida - I don't think you have to give up exercise during the 2ww but again it is a personal choice. I think the standard line is if it is a exercise you are used to than you can continue after your BFP provided you inform the instructor. I do Zumba and yoga, neither of which are recommended when pregnant but I do them during the 2ww and then would speak to instructor if i got a BFP.

Does anyone know about playing sports when PG? I've taken up playing badminton with a group from work one lunchtime a week, just bought a snazzy new racket but now don't know if I'll actually be allowed to play once I get my BFP?!

Hope you're feeling better Mrsj28 and lemonmelon, I hate getting cold & flu... rubbish!

Did anyone see the bit about Baby Envy on Daybreak this morning?! Although they did have to get a woman with a baby on to talk about it... I just ended up with more Baby Envy because her little boy was so cute!

I dreamt that I had a surprise pregnancy last night. You know the whole go into labour without knowing you were pregnant surprise. Funny thing was that in my dream I hadn't put any weight on (I am heavy so in real life shouldn't actually put too much on when the time comes) but I was pregnant with twins :eek:

Morning ladies.

Positivity has returned this morning and the green eyed monster is calm for now.

Its so wierd the feelings I get these days. I have never been a jealous type and I'm really surprised, shocked and embarassed by some of the negative feelings that come across me somedays

I forgot to do the OPK tests yesterday! Its a new thing, so guess it will take a while to get into a habit and remember doing them. Getting into a routine with taking my temperature tho, so at least I am doing something.

As for exercise, I used to do zumba and loved it but when I thought I was pregnant (too much SS and positivity!) I stopped doing it and to be honest I haven't started back up again. I really should as weight is coming on and I do love it. My class is 2 miles away tho, and without a car it is proving to be another [STRIKE]problem[/STRIKE] excuse...

My cat has finally used the litter tray again :j:j And no further accidents in the house - altho there is an accident in the garage (I can cope with that tho!). Hopefully she is gettnig back to normal. Maybe the antibiotics interfered with her natural urges?

No word on the car - its at the specialists. Gonna ring today if we haven't heard anything.

Going out for the day to the seaside with my DD and parents. Am excited - altho its gonna be a chilly one I think!

Are you all having pancakes today? I love pancake day! Can't wait for later!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Birdie85

I've been roped into running in our teeny tiny city's pancake race at 11; we're sending a group from work and somehow my name got entered... still not sure how it happened, I think I was tricked into agreeing as I was promised free pancakes whilst we were waiting to run and I can't refuse free food!

Glad your kitty seems to be on the mend abis!
