    yaay congratulations to Kavics! :j:j
    is there any chance of you getting an early scan? just thinking that maybe by 4 April you'll be about 6 weeks, might be able to see a heartbeat, get a picture and show OH and ask him what he thinks it's a picture of :D that's how i'm planning on telling my parents next time anyway.

    still nothing happening here, stupid cycle won't end. grrr. but maybe i've shocked it with the exercise lol
    Pretty sure i'm not ovulating atm so i'm kind of feeling like i know nothing is guna happen for the next few months til i've lost weight and i'm ok with that, when i was last pg last time and saw the midwife i was saying it was such a shock cos i thought i wasn't able to get pg cos i was so big (although smaller than i am now) but had lost 3 stone. and she said she knows of several women who've said 'i got pregnant at x weight, if i get to that weight i'll get pregnant again' and they were right :) so i *think* i got pregnant at 21lbs lighter than what i am now. so i have a long way to go.

    honestly can't believe i've let myself put on so much weight. then again, i always think that of all the things i could've turned to to help me through the mc is chocolate really so bad :o
    DH is getting into exercising which is good as he has put on a bit recently and more importantly for me, he doesn't have the stamina he used to ;)

    in more lighthearted news, yesterday i could not stop trumping! and i was clerking a meeting so that was quite embarrassing. luckily they didn't smell, just was loud :rotfl:i have no idea how one woman could contain sooo much wind! x x

    Morning ladies. Long time no speak :D I do read the thread email off my phone every morning though so I am keeping up to date with all the ups and downs.

    Congratulations for all the BFPs and HUGS to those who need them. Reading this thread I realise that DH and I are very lucky.

    Some good news and bad news. Bad news is I haven't got a BFP :rotfl: but my first cycle after having my implant out ended on CD30 :j. I'm so relieved I'm back to normal so quickly as it's one less thing to worry about. According to my app I'm on CD5 and due to ovulate around the 6th but I have a feeling I ovulated a bit earlier than the app suggested this month. Luckily DH is off work the week before Easter so can get in lots of BDing.

    Some other good news is found out DSis is only having one baby :rotfl:and is due a few days after DS's birthday so it may be a busy September. All I need is my BFP now and to sell our house :D

    Morning all,:j

    big congrats to Kavics - the March BFP list is looking pretty good now.... definitely space for a few more though!:T

    I have to drive my horrible boss to a seminar we're going to this afternoon. It's about an hr away so that's at least 2 hrs of us being stuck in a car together - I'm not sure we'll both get out alive. The irony is... we're going to a seminar on stress! Have now got to the "you have to laugh" stage with it all.:rotfl::eek:

    Just need to get through the afternoon without resorting to violence and then have to BD tonight as we didn't get round to it yesterday. Am aiming for at least every other day until AF arrives this time - but it's seeming like hard work already :rotfl:

    Kavics - :j:j:j hooray! Congratulations on your BFP, really pleased for you. Hope the wait for your OH to come home isn't too difficult. What an amazing welcome home for him!

    Nicki - your DS sounds so lovely :)

    Tealover - hope that car journey goes ok :eek:

    Argh, can't remember anything else I've just read...

    Temp is high (ish) again today, 97.73 so I'm feeling very hopeful that I ov'd on Sunday. Just need a third rise tomorrow. Looking at my chart, it seems like even having one or two drinks affects my temperature so I think next month I'm going to cut right back on drinking so that I can see a clearer pattern. I'm not a big drinker by any means, but do enjoy a glass of wine now and again!
  • Congratulations Kavics :j Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy :)

    I think I'm out for this month. I had a massive drop below coverline yesterday and this morning it's even lower. Boo. I'll be on gusset-watch for the rest of the day now.

    I'm a bit upset this time, although we didn't hold out massive hopes of it, given that I'm in the !!!!!! cycle post-MC. It's just that now I won't be pregnant either when my 20 week scan would have been for the last pregnancy, or my due date of the one before. It's just a bit disheartening thinking that had the first one worked out we would be having a baby in less than a month from now.

    Ho hum.

    Also, if AF does show today it means that my LP has dropped to just 9 days :eek: This is clearly not an ideal state of affairs. I know that Emsbet posted a link to supplements a while ago, did anyone save it as a favourite to stop me having to trawl through the billions of pages of this thread? I'd like something to encourage ovulation and lengthen my luteal phase; my cycles before my first MC were textbook and they've been getting more wonky with each pregnancy.

    Hope everyone else has more PMA than I do today.

    Hi Ladies!!!

    Big hello to all the newbies! Hope your stays are short and sweet :)

    Wow, lots of BFPs in a few days! huge congrats Kavics, cleo and dizsiebubba!!! I wish you all the best during your pregancies and births!

    CD6 for me and AF left the building 2 days ago, OH decided we had to BD twice yest to make up for the missing days lol! Mind you i didnt complain :D. I have a funny feeling the girl who sits next to me in work is pregnant, she keeps running off at top speed for the loo. I will however not be seeing a green eyed monster in me, I will congratulate her and just hope i get to have one very soon. I think my boss is dreading her saying anything too (his OH had mc a couple of months ago and he's finding it quite hard too :o).

    Enjoy your Tuesdays!!

    Thank you so much Everyone, I'm really overwhelmed by your wishes. I will not share it with OH, I'm not even sure about the 4th April either as he will not fly back to the UK before but meet me in Poland to see his family for Easter (the 5 day mini break was booked 6 months ago). I am really afraid that he will tell his family so I might not say a word until we fly back on the 9th. I will be strong (cause I'm not keen on his family hugging and kissing me, eeeek)!

    No idea how to tell him either. Anyone has any suggestions? Was thinking about chocolates, you know you can buy ones with letters on it so I can just write it out: you'll be a daddy or something like this. I am far too afraid to even think about it at the moment.

    And I will follow you Ladies, I want to wish as many Congratulations and Happy Pregnancies in the days/weeks/months coming as possible!
