    Congrats MrsBunny! :T please send some baby dust our way! X

    Kynthia - I actually work in tax too like your sister! (I'm CTA qualified) I work for an accountancy firm and specialise in advising small businesses in all areas of tax. It sounds really boring but I really like helping small businesses as they are usually really appreciative and grateful for the help and I actually quite enjoy it most of the time lol.

    Kalama I totally agree with what your friend has said. The 5:2 diet does make you less hungry on non fast days. I'll let you know how I get on! I'm a little worried that it might not be a good idea to do it when TTC but given we've been trying to conceive for 9 months with no luck, maybe losing some weight will help :o

    Tinkwings - your crafting stuff is lovely! I'm assuming you have an etsy shop? Yay for smily opk! :T

    Angel - big hugs for insensitive comments :( A guy I know is TTC with his wife but are struggling and I overheard someone asking him "if he was doing it right". It was clearly meant as a joke but I think it upset him.

    Babymad - yay for booking holidays! I had the same thought process as you. I figured 3-4 months in advance should be fine and I can still go even if early in pregnancy. Despite that though, I would also be sooooooooo happy to get my BFP that I wouldn't care about losing out on any of my plans anyway! A baby would be a million times better!

    Becca - I'm keeping everything crossed that this trigger will work for you and that you will be feeling like poop for the right reasons this time next month! X

    Becs - hope you feel better soon. Everyone I kno with hay fever was really struggling today so it could be that?

    Big hugs for CD1s xxxxxx

    Congrats Mrs Bunny

    Hugs for CD1 too Elsie

    Hope you are now feeling a bit better Becca

    Loulou - I hate seeing people with prams smoking over the top, so a baby sling would be even worse.

    PommeVerte - camping and surfing sounds adventurous, our holiday is to Tenerife for a lazy one getting some sun!!

    becs - hope you went to the pharmacy, like blondy said, you could always ask them about side effects of any medication

    Angel - sorry that you are feeling down at the moment, and that you had that rubbish comment made to you.

    Have realised that OH is away a lot this month, so ruling myself out already. I am hoping that it will happen the next month - I don't know whether any one else has thought about due dates and I know a lot of people will just want a baby, but I was hoping to avoid a summer baby and that will be getting closer. Maybe its the teacher in me thinking like this. Although at this rate I am just hoping it will happen at some point!

    Tinkwings I think you would do really well on etsy! I'm not at all creative or crafty but my sister is and she sells lots of her handmade items on there xx

    Tia - yep I know what you mean about due dates and getting to the point where you just hope it will happen. I know people who talk about planning their due dates to the month and I think how nice it must be to have that luxury! I'd be over the moon with any due date lol xx

    Becs - definitely try the nasal sprays, they really help. The hayfever has been so bad lately and I live by the sea where the air is a bit clearer, but still had to sleep with a cold flannel over my eyes lol.

    Angel - People can be so stupid and insensitive! Big hugs.

    Due on monday and spotted slightly today, gah. Just after nearly buying one of the early predictor kits as i was feeling so convinced this was going to be the month. But still, last time I was pregnant I spotted for a few days then it just stopped so won't lose hope just yet...

    And yet another announcement on facebook just now. I've lost track of how many that makes this week. Had a mini meltdown in front of hubby who was lovely and offered lots of hugs but clearly thinks I'm mental (and is probably right).

    Angeltreats - we've all been there.

    loulou - today, I saw a heavily pregnant woman pushing a buggy with one hand and smoking with the other. There are no words how unfair that is.

    Hayfever has been horrible for me too. Even the dog is suffering.

    Still no positive opk and my chart is very rocky.
