Morning ladies! :hello:

Not been around for a few days, and yet to read back. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Wondering about putting off TTC to early next year. Made the mistake of weighing myself at the weekend and was pretty horrified. Feel really fat at the moment. :(

Also, DH is losing his job at the end of January and maybe it would be better to wait until he is in a new job, as I'm a bit worried about that.

Think me and DH will need to have a chat about it tonight. Anyone got any thoughts?

Hi Lily,

I am also going through an 'I feel fat' phase at the moment. I'd love to be one of those slim women who has a really nice tidy baby bump but unfortunately I think if I do get pg I'm going to look like a whale. I worry that I'll just look even fatter rather than pregnant. I'm also worried that my bosoms which are far too big to begin with (34G and I hate them) will get even bigger and I don't know how I'll cope with that.

Having said that, I want a baby more than anything so am still TTC whilst trying to lose some weight. I figure if I do get pregnant soon I can carry on with healthy eating and perhaps rather than losing weight I just won't put any on for a while if that makes sense?

I didn't realise cbfm was so expensive! Guess there's some real money to be made from people wanting a baby.

oh there is something in the air today - maybe its just the monday blues!
Mine is definitely post holiday/first day back at work blues I think!

Feeling a bit better now I'm home and can relax a bit - OH just started getting excited about our friends baby while I got a little excited as I am really happy about it and hopefully we can have a little friend for them soon!! (I did change the subject to something else pretty sharpish though before my mood changed as didnt want to ruin the mood as I do love it when my OH gets excited about little babies!!) :rotfl:

We do still have plenty of time, need to realise that a bit more I think - ive never been the most patient of people with anything but with things I want badly I'm off the scale!! :j

Hi all

Thanks for all the engagement congrats :j

Hope everyone is ok and ((hugs)) to all who need them

Well, still no sign of AF for me - was very unusual but hadn't tested all weekend as I assumed I was definatively out due to 3 negative results last week.

With no AF appearance today, I decided to test with my last available First Response (not very MSE I know but I got a duo pack last week to see if it showed up something my cheapies didn't :rotfl:)

Anyhoo, this is the result.....

I really wanted to run to Tesco and get a digi but OH said I can't go out in the dark and I have to wait til tomorrow - what do you guys think? I am freaking out right now

Looks like a positive to me... (Sorry I don't belong in this thread )

CONGRATULATIONS jovichick! That's a definite positive. First for October. Lets hope it starts a run.

So, CD3 for me (or CD2 according to CBFM as I missed the test window on Saturday) and AF has completely disappeared. Not even any spotting or colour on toilet paper all day, which is the shortest and lightest AF I have ever had. Even Saturday and Sunday werent full flow though flipping painful. Hope this doesnt bode ill for ttc this month. Added to which I forgot to turn CBFM on this morning, as I am out of practice! I know it won't ask for a stick until CD6 but its not going to do me much good this month if I keep forgetting to check it! Post mc doctor's appt tomorrow afternoon.

He is still being very 'touchy feely' though in a caring way. I really do think it's his way as he's not a man of words!

My DH is also not a man of words, but he recently bought a book on pregnancy, I assume he still wants a baby:o

But honestly, how much effort does it take for him to "do it" in a cup??

5 mins?:rotfl:
Long time no see robyn:wave:

I'm CD13, tried Soy Isoflavones this cycle. I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, really sharp pain, almost like a stitch on the right side. Have never felt ovulation so intensely.

Sounds like it is doing its job well:cool:

Is this a case of peeing on sticks evey morning at the same time or do you have to input your own temps etc - as I said before I am meant to be taking this as it comes and not getting overly obsessed according to OH so cant really temp etc!

It's a glorified digital opk, has to be done in the morning FMU in the 6hr window.

You can sell it on ebay after you've finished with it.
It is cheaper than fertility treatments:cool:
Also, some Superdrugs do them at £20.
